Creating Good Climate In The Class

During my school experience program I tried to create a comfort atmosphere in the classroom for the students such as open the session by dialogue about daily life. In simple word I tried to be a casual teacher for them. I did not do the roll call because I was afraid that it will take my time in teaching because there were 40 students in the classroom. I just asked their names when we had a dialogue in opening session or asked one of the student’s name to read the text or the slide.

                Fortunately I taught the class not only for one meeting. So in the next meeting I could remember some of their names. I also tried to give the good responds regarding to their opinion in answer my questions like ‘that is a good idea, I think you gave us a good suggestion.” or “Good opinion. You have strong evidence for it.”.

                Although I have tried to give good atmosphere to them, it seems like I was to spoil them because one of the students were said to me that I was too kind and it can make the other students disparage me as a teacher. At that time I thought that maybe I was not too firm to my students, so they easily made a noisy in the classroom. After that I thought that being firm is not always I have to speak in a high tone like someone who is angry, I think this was my way how to be firm, by give them the freedom to express themselves but I still keep them on the right track. Honestly I still can not be firm to my students, not like the others usually do.
