Classroom Observation- Engaging Middle School Students

1.      Role of Teacher and Students

Initially, the teacher is the director of all students behavior. Teacher give direction for all students, the role that students have to follow during studying. What should they do and cannot do while studying. Teacher tell students they will get bonus point if they follow the role, but they will lost the bonus point if they break the role that have been given by teacher.  

Teacher tell students the way they do their tasks that students have to do by themselves, then they have to standing up, each one of them sharing, scoring on the scale 1 to 5, and tell why they use that score, and they sitting down. If students break the roles,  they will get 10 minus point in their scorces for participant point.  While the students sharing, the teacher monitor them by around the classroom.

Teacher try to treat students interest in the classroom. Where the teacher give score board for them, that is EC (exter credit) as yepper if they get bonus point by said “oh yeah” with spirit expression, and DC (dexter credit) as bommer if they get minus points. And also, the students who totally participating and enthusiastic following directions in learning, if they get one EC that is mean only one homework problem and they will get yepper .

And teacher also tells students that there is bonus points for the whole class if they do silent danceand said “thankyou” to the teacher, but if they break the role they will get bommer and more homework. While they talking in the classroom, they should ask permission first and rise their hand or they will also get DC.  So the teacher try to attract the attention, readiness of the students.

Then teacher give other instruction that is students have to prepare one blank piece of paper, paper, pencil and the name on the top of paper then stand up. After that, teacher choose 3 students to grab map (folder) and crayon for their friends in 2 minutes , afterwards pas the map for others in quetly. But if they  can done in 1 minutes, they will get EC , in 2 minute they get nothing, and more than 2 minutes they get DC.

Then they need to answer questions that already provided in powerpoint by only use their brain without books, and write it down on the map. The students who already done can standing up in silent and waiting their friend quietly.

After all students finish the tasks, teacher ask them work in pair that is matching their answer but still standing up , and may sitting down after their answer is matching each of them. So they solve the problem by them selves, but teacher also give them direction how they gonna work, that is with reaching consensus.  And teacher ask students debate/do conversation in front of the class and try to change the other mind while the conversation, the other friends listen to them with pretend that there is no clue what their friends talk about or called as focus face. Then teacher ask them discuss with their pair wheather they agree or their friends changes their mind.

And next direction the students who not already matching their answer with their neighbour still standing up, and who alreading match listening the conversation the other friends who still standing up without any input.

2.      The Nature of Students-Teacher Interaction

The nature of students-teacher interaction is the directions gives all the time and also direction for each lesson is different. Sometimes students only answer the question by themselves and read it, or they answer the questions and scoring their friends work, after answer it they have to read it, then they do debate and conversation in pair to know others critical thingking , so another students listening for matching their answer. And also sometime they have to be good listener without any input.

As Rardin (1988) has observed, the Community Language Learning method is neither students-centered, nor teacher-centered, but rather teacher-student centered, with both being decision-makers in the class. Students can learn from their interaction with each other as well as their interaction with their teacher. A spirit of cooperation, not competition, can prevall.

The teacher interact students individually and in pair. Initially the interaction is characterized by the teacher and the students responding sometimes verbally and also non verbal. 

Students follow the directions that given by teacher, and get bonus point that they called EC (yepper) , if they avoid the direction they get  minus point or DC (bommer). Teacher ask students do the task and solves it by themselves but he gives clue how to do that. However, at last the teacher will tell them the correct answer for make it clear. And also during the learning process students must to done it quetly, then standing up after finish the task, and may sitting down after discuss the task together.

3.      The Characteristic of the Teaching Learning Process

In this video teacher is as instructor, so the teacher give instruction for all students in a beginning, middle and also in the end of the class. To attract students attention for the lesson, he make the role during studying , also give bonus points that they call yepper ( exter credit) if they do silent dance after getting the yepper  for the class , they also get bonus point for the whole class, but if they break the role that have been provided, they will get bommer (dexter credit). Afterwards  , they may talk with ask permission first or they get bommer. So the purpose of this roles are to interact students interest, readiness, paying  attention to their friends and teacher, also to treat their enthusiastic participating.

After that, at the beginning of the learning process the teacher issues command for all students to answering question for warm up, standing up quetly, then discuss with their neighbour (in pair) until their answer questions is similar then scoring 1 to 5 with give reason “why they give that score?” and sitting down.  Afterwards, the teacher choose 3 students randomly then standing up in quietly to read their answer for all students , and also all students will scoring them (  3 students who choosen). The teacher give students opportunity to assess their friends to take increasing responsibility for it and to make them learn from one another.

In the middle of the learning process, the teacher helps to arrow the scope of attention with another intruction. For firstly , teacher ask student to prepare one blank piece of paper , pencil and the name on the top of paper then standing up. After that, teacher choose 3 students for grab the map (folder)and crayon , then pass them for another in 2 minutes. if they do that in 1 minute they get yepper.

Later, teacher ask students to answer questions that are already provided in powerpoint, but they only use their brain with no books while answering the question, and also they must to hide their paper as privacy from other friends to avoid cheatting. After answering the questions, they standing up and waiting quietly until they agree each other ( with their pair). So after everybody done answering the questions teacher ask students to solve the problems by them self and they work together with their friends, but teacher give direction that they gonna work by using reaching consensus. At first the teacher tell students what reaching consensus is and how how to use it. Then both of them (pair) have to matching their answer , so that they can sitting down  and teacher choose a pair of students standing up in front of the class for debate or do conversation each other, and try to change others mind.

During the studying, to attract students attention and interest of students, teacher use TPR that is when the teacher said crayon, everybody yell out “crayon” and their pencil  with pen on the floor, beacuse when the teacher said “crayon”, students only used crayon for writing. If they are not follow the direction, they will get bommer.  

4.      How Does the Teacher Respond to the Students  Errors ?
For the students errors teacher always take off their bonus point and also try  guide them to the correct one by repeat the directions clearly. As students get more advanced, teachers may correct more of their errors. And also the teacher ask the students correct their friends errorrs together with him. So he want to see the critical thingking of their students, and they also aware of their own progress.
