CLASS DISCIPLINE
THE NATURE OF CLASS DISCIPLINE
a. Class discipline and discipline
1. Discipline
The definition of discipline according to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (2009: 237), explains that
discipline is defined as obedience (compliance) to rules or regulations.
Class discipline is the order or rules that are carried out by the subject implementing education, both
students and educators in the class by obeying the rules that have been set on the basis of pleasure and
awareness of the heart in order to achieve a common goal.
2. Class Discipline
First, discipline is defined as the level of regularity in one group.
Second, class discipline is defined as the techniques used by teachers to establish or maintain order in
the classroom.
b. Class discipline
1. Discipline needs to be taught and needs to be learned and internalized by students, so that students
are able to discipline themselves. This is the main purpose of instilling discipline. Students are able to
control themselves, without the need to be controlled by the teacher (Winzer, 1992). As a teacher, of
course you have experienced a situation that moved you. For example, without being asked, students
immediately clean the blackboard, line up to class neatly even though you don't control it.
2. Discipline, as acknowledged by experts since ancient times, is the central point of school life cycle
(Turney & Cairns, 1980). School success and failure depend on the level of achievement in applying
perfect discipline.
3. A high level of student obedience to class rules, especially if this obedience grows from oneself, is
not forced, will enable the creation of a conducive learning climate, namely a pleasant learning
climate so that students are motivated to learn.
4. Conversely, a low level of obedience to class rules will create a learning climate that is not
conducive and unpleasant. Teachers will deal more with deviant student behavior so that lessons are
neglected. Situations like this certainly make students frustrated, namely annoyed because their desire
to learn is hindered by unpleasant situations.
5. The number of students in one class, especially in our country, is quite a lot..
6. The habit of obeying class rules will have a wider impact on students' lives in society. Students who
are used to obeying the rules in the classroom will also be encouraged to obey the rules that exist in
society.
The teacher's role in creating classroom discipline there are four criteria carried out by the teacher in
order to create classroom discipline, including:
a) The teacher as the first executor of the rules
, School rules are rules that must be obeyed or carried out by everyone in the school environment,
whether they are principals, teachers, students, or their employees. School discipline is one aspect in
the context of fostering discipline in the classroom. The relationship between the teacher's role in
creating classroom discipline and increasing student achievement is very close.
b) The teacher as a guide for children in complying with school rules
In this case the teacher is not only a good role model in complying with school rules, but must be able
and able to direct children in complying with the established rules, in another sense the teacher's role
here is as a guide. In addition to giving children a good example, children must also be directed so
that they can emulate and imitate the good deeds done by the teachers.
c) The teacher as supervisor of students in carrying out all school rules
In this section, the next role of the teacher is as a supervisor for their students in carrying out all
school rules, in the sense of a person who oversees all the rules in school. Before the teacher
supervises students in complying with school rules, he must introspect himself whether he is
disciplined or vice versa. Children will obey teachers who always show discipline in carrying out their
duties and vice versa.
d) The teacher gives awards and punishments to students.
The next role of the teacher is to give rewards and punishments to students. Rewards are given to
students who are orderly and obedient in carrying out the rules, while punishments are given to
students who violate the rules. With appreciation, it can make children even more active in learning,
obeying rules and discipline.
c. Factors affecting classroom discipline
1. Physical Factors
Classroom discipline is based on teacher-student interaction in the context (relationship) of the class,
so the physical factors that affect class discipline also include teachers, students, and classrooms. The
physical condition of the teacher, among others, can be seen in his appearance, which will affect
student obedience to the rules. Teachers who look neat, healthy, and look enthusiastic will find it
easier to manage their students than teachers who look shabby and lethargic.
2. Social Factors
It has been stated earlier that the class is a small community where students and teachers hang out or
socialize. The relationship between teacher-students and of course students and students occurs in the
classroom. The quality of this social interaction, namely the quality of the teacher-student-student
relationship can also affect classroom discipline. Close and healthy relationships, mutual trust will be
able to improve class discipline. Conversely, relationships that are not intimate, unhealthy (eg the
emergence of this feeling, jealousy), and mutual suspicion will reduce student obedience to class
rules. Students who usually hang out with friends around them may find it easier to accept class rules
than those who always close themselves off, never get along with other kids around them. Children
who are less sociable feel that they are the greatest so that if they are faced with one class rule, they
will feel that their freedom is reduced. These are all assumptions (suppositions) that you can prove to
be correct through observing in class.
