The observer evaluates elements in each section and checks boxes to indicate whether components are present, not present, or unclear. An observation of a preschool classroom is also summarized, noting the teacher's methods for engaging students, addressing disruptive behavior, and facilitating learning through songs, activities, and consequences. The checklist is intended to help teachers evaluate their classroom management strategies and identify areas for improvement.

- 8. Classroom Management Affects Learning When the class is going on some of the pupils are not listening to the teacher because of the noise. The teacher tries to get back the attention of the students and later on she conduct an activity which is shaking hands and hands forwarding so that the students would no fall asleep. The attention goes back to the teacher. Almost one hour passed and one student starts distracting his classmates by hitting them anything he carries. And most of his classmates are no more paying attention to the teacher so the teacher gives consequence to that boy by sitting beside the teacher for the entire subject. So the boy was quiet and shy of his classmates. After a few minutes writing activity started one girl started to talk and talk with her classmates and later on the whole of their row was so noisy and forgot their task to write their task given by the teacher. Later on the teacher found out that they are already in one table gathered and something like having a forum or meeting. So they were called by the teacher and they scattered and go back to their chairs and still laughing. The teacher did was she check the books and those girls are late finish their work. During the math subject one boy keeps on roaming around and getting his classmates attention by hitting them and getting them hurt. The teacher was angry and she called the attention of that boy and she give command to the boy to ask forgiveness by saying sorry. If there is no classroom management in the class there is no learning will happen anymore. The students were all distracted to their environment especially their peers and friend, and classmates. Classroom management is really important and has a big contribution on child’s learning progress. Classroom management serves as the main tool in educating the and motivating the students in the classroom. The students are easily to motivate and guide. Students could easily get the instructions and well disciplined. A student who knows to follow the rules is the one who learns a lot. Without classroom management is very difficult to educate the students and have their sympathy in the class and respect to the teacher. As a teacher it it’s very difficult to manage your students especially when they are not prepared for school activities. Especially those 4 years old and below they are too young to be at school. Even though there is some children at early age can adjust the new environment but they are only few. Some students who are being told by teacher to stop doing bad things or to avoid but still they would repeat it. Maybe it is because they did not understand why it is bad. I just can’t imagine how our teacher survived from this repeated situations. Even it is difficult to manage students but still they could get an idea or the lessons being discuss by the teacher. One of the students in this school and level named Ringo he was lazy boy in terms on any activity in the class but I was so shock when her mother shared that he is very jolly at home singing those songs that he doesn’t like to sing at school. This means that even though the child is not very active in class he could still learned and by his own understanding and the way he absorbs the lessons. And even though the teacher sometimes could not manage in an appropriate time, the student will also learn something, but it depends on the child if he is easily to be distracted. The learning’s of the child is very affected when there is really no classroom management. Some students want to learn something new from the teacher but they can’t because there is a distraction from those students who doesn’t want to learn and just want to play.
- 9. Guide Questions: I. What are the components of your check list for classroom management? Are these components evident in the observed class? Classroom rules and regulations Consequences Proper manner This is evident in class I’ve observed. In the class the students are well disciplined by their teacher. All students are memorize their rules and the consequences if they a bad things. If he/she committed a bad things to their classmates, he/she immediately apologies and say sorry wholeheartedly. Also, all students are well mannered each one of them has a respect to each other. Students who can see their teachers, classmates, friends and even us their young teachers they say and greet “Hello, Hi, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Goodbye” even these simple words when it comes from these children you would say that they are well educated and “successful”. II. Are there components which are not evident or needs improvement? What are these? What are your suggestions on improving these? Rules, routines, and procedures are not posted in a manner that all could read or understand. The daily schedule of activities is not posted. The rules not written in words that all can read and /or illustrated with graphics or icons It is very important to post the rules, routines, and procedures so that the parents should know and be inform. The teacher should provide and post the Rules and regulations in the classroom. Also the daily schedule of activities should be posted. All of this should be post in the classroom bulletin board clearly and easy to understand with the terms that is easy to understand. III. What are the resources necessary in creating an atmosphere conductive for learning? How do these resources affect learner’s performance? The classroom, School supplies, Man power (Teacher), Students, and Building for classroom which is quiet and peaceful. With the complete resources for educating the students education is not optional. The children could easily learn because of these resources. Ball pen and pencil for writing, colors for coloring, books for reading, classroom for a comfortable and less distractive environment, and Teacher who will guide the students for a better future.
- 10. IV. How do teachers demonstrated the following components of classroom management: Setting up rules Devising consequences when rules are violated Appreciating students when they are being good Being consistent in disciplining students/ in their approaches Setting up rules, the teacher recited the rules as the students follow after the teacher. Every day they recited the rules so that the students would familiarize and memorize. Devising consequences when rules are violated, the teacher immediately corrects the mistakes of her students. On every child has mistaken the teacher repeats recite the rules and regulation in order to remind everybody. Appreciating students when they are being good, the teacher shows her appreciation to the students being good in the class through giving a reward with giving them a “star”. Stamping the students hand with stars as their good performance in the class. Being consistent in disciplining students/ in their approaches, the teacher shows the manner of being patient and calm. The teacher approaches her students in a nice way no matter how big is the mistake being committed by her student. So that the students would not be harass and disappointed to their teacher and especially they would still give trust to their teacher. V. What are significant learning have you achieved from this activity? How will this insight be to help to you in the future? I’ve learn a lot from this activity most specially is that how to be a good teacher and parent to my students. That being a teacher is not only to educate your students but you need to sacrifice and love them as your own sons and daughters. We as a teacher have a big contribution on their future. “If the student’sfield’s to learn, it’s not their failure, it is our failure as their educator”. Teaching is not all about job but it’s all about love, love to your students that would mark them that learning is happy living and not serious studying. This is very helpful for me as a future teacher to know all of my responsibilities as a teacher. This helped me to prepare myself for my future life as a teacher. In order for me to experience in advance the environment that I would be in the future. It helps me to adjust as early so that I won’t be too hard for me to adopt the future environment. As an experience on how to handle my own class in the future. To know how to handle the kinds of child with special needs.
