1. The document discusses observations of classroom behaviors and the teacher's strategies to address disruptions. It notes that effective teaching practices can reduce disruptive behaviors.
2. Specific disruptive behaviors observed included students calling out, disturbing others, wandering around, and teasing peers. The teacher addressed these by establishing turn-taking, reminding students to pay attention, giving warnings, and motivating/scolding students.

1. JOURNAL :
Many disruptive behaviors in the classroom can be alleviated before they
become serious discipline problems. Such behaviors can be reduced by the teacher’s
ability to employ effective organizational practices. Such practices are at the heart of the
teaching process and are essential to establishing and maintaining classroom control.
As a student teacher, I had seek the permission of two English teachers of t SK
Seribong, PuanNormahbinti Ibrahim and Puan Salina binti Ibrahim to do some
observations. The observations of the English lesson s were including watching them
provides instructions and interacts with the children, watching the whole class of
students, or watching individual students during various experiences they participate in
during the mathematics class.
I had saw evidence of disruptive behavior when the teacher was teaching. I had
listed what I observed and comment how the teacher alleviated the disruptions as in
the Table 1.1 below:

7. Deeply from my hear, in my own personal opinion, I think there are many
reasons why the students show disruptive behaviors. First is the way of teaching by the
teacher. Many teachers did not realize that maybetheir teaching technique occurs in a
one way communication. So the student will lose their attention to the learning process.
Second, there are a group of intelligent students in the classroom. Maybe they have
learnt the topic that their teacher wanted to teach so they feel bored and started to
disturb other students. Third, the condition of the classroom was not conducive for
learning. So the mood of the students will go down and did not want to follow the
learning session by the teacher.
All the actions taken by the teacher effective in stopping the children from
misbehavior.The first method is the teacher has changed the style of teaching where
now there was two way communications between the teacher and the students. So the
students will pay more attention to the learning process. The second method is the
teacher always reminding and warning the students to give their full attention in the
classroom. So the students will feel afraid to misbehavior such as disturbing their
friends. The third method is the teacher told all the students to clean up the classroom.
Only after the classroom, already in clean and tidy then the teacher will teach them. In
other words, we need a conducive area for learning process to take place.
One of the misbehavior is the students are disturbing their friends during the
learning process. First of all, I will find out the reason why they disturb their friends. If
they bored with my teaching, then I will try to make it more interesting but if they disturb
their friends just for fun,then I will give them a warning and always reminding them not
to disturb they friend. If they still do not listen, then I will scold them. If they still
unchanged, then I will proceed this case to the school administrators.

Besides, Not all the students were behaved and participated in all the
activities. Like I said before, there was a student that alwayslikes to isolate herself.
When everyone were enjoyed do the activities, she just sat at her chair and do not do
anything. She was a quite person. She just reacts after given order by the teacher for a
few times. There were also a group of three students that always love to tease their
friends. They just do it for fun. The teacher really worked very hard to control the whole
class and success.
During myobservation I conclude that there is a relationship between a
way of teaching and pupil’s misbehavior. From my observation, the teachers that
practiced an interesting technique of teaching do not face any problems with theirs
students. They can control their students very well. It is because the students find out
that the learning was so fun and enjoyed. But it is different with the teachers that
practiced an old technique of teaching like “chalk and talk”. They faced a problem to
control their students. When the students feel bored on the teaching, then they started
to misbehavior. As a conclusion, the way of teaching affected the student’s misbehavior.
