Class Agreement Through Positive Discipline

Often the class is crowded, storm, Many people bully their friends and become a problem during the learning process in class. Plus, the school I currently teach at is a vocational school with mostly unruly male students, always causing trouble, and screaming during class.

The class I am currently teaching is in the electrical department, machine, automotive, and welding where on average almost all of the class members are male students. At the beginning of the lesson I opened a discussion forum which contained questions related to "Do you think the Indonesian language learning that I teach will be conducive and enjoyable if?”

Almost all students wrote down what they wanted one by one, someone wrote jamkos (empty hours), all the teachers are together, home in the morning, in class you can bring a mattress, pillow, roll, the teacher often comes in late, there are also those who study seriously but relax, joking, can eat in class, and can drink, and there is no homework.

I don't scold them when they write to each other whatever they want during my lessons in class. After each student writes on the board, then I straightened out their intentions by asking what their goals were after graduating from school, almost the majority of them answered working. Then I straighten it back to the DUDI principle (Business world, Industrial World) with a recruitment system 80% comes from skills and 20% comes from ethics. After that I asked, Did Jamkos and the teacher not come in improve your skills?? What do you get at school?

After that, I am opening a discussion together regarding schools if the school jams continue, whether there is a profit or a loss? I opened a discussion forum regarding the costs they incur when attending vocational school. Starting from tuition fees, building money, pocket money, gas, and boarding money totaling approx 20 million over three years, not a small amount. Then I asked again, What kind of work can you do to be able to return the money you spent while at vocational school?. There were those who answered opening their own business but the return did not take long, then I directed him to a promising job as a mechanic in a mine like PPA, BUMA, PAMA, SIS, THIESS, and others, with more or less salary 10 million every month. This salary has been proven by one of the SMKN alumni 1 Singosari, The students I used to teach earned more than their teachers, then they (students in class) I started to sit up straight and was curious about the continuation of my story.

Do they have anyone inside ma'am to get in there? I answered no. Purely they test and they qualify 80% skill, And 20% ethics so that they pass tests and job placement. The discussion continues to be exciting, who had been sleepy and had his head on the table began to sit up straight. Then, there are more questions, Then I wonder if we can be like those who graduated and work in the mines?"Very possible". "We practice first through small things as you work according to the SOP, If it doesn't comply with the SOP, what are the consequences??” “Getting sanctions ma'am”.

Let's learn SOPs from problems that occur in class. Earlier we had a discussion together and the discussion was so exciting that at first some of them wanted to sleep and didn't sleep but instead listened. Classes like that are not comfortable when learning is applied? “very comfortable ma'am”. If it's convenient, roughly what attitude is needed, as you did during the discussion earlier?” listen and respect each other, If someone can't listen and respect, what are the sanctions??"Just tell me to do push ups ma'am!” answered the students in unison.

Approximately, If one of your friends is busy alone, it doesn't reduce your effective time in class? "Yes ma'am" answered the student. If his time is cut short then he who reduces his time must? "add". So tomorrow, if someone is noisy during class, they have to add time to the end of my lesson. Agreed? Ask the teacher. "Agreed ma'am," answered the student.

Second, problems related to assignment submission, what is it related to??” asked the teacher. "Discipline" answered the student. Now our school is full day and we go home in the afternoon. It's possible that learning and material can be completed directly in class and I rarely give homework if conditions don't allow it, so homework is done, if conditions permit then pr does not exist. Nah, Therefore, assignments must be completed and submitted on time after class hours, So, if someone hasn't submitted their assignment on time, what are the consequences??"Just reduce the value ma'am? Answer the students. "Minus how much?”, “reduced 5 Just do it, ma'am," answered the students using the deliberation and consensus method.

The last one is related to the use of devices during classroom learning. Often when teachers explain in class vocational school students look down more and play online games as a result they don't focus. Then I asked how good it was to use a cellphone in class?"keep using it, ma'am, if someone plays games? Just confiscate it ma'am, but returned when class learning is finished, But if you repeat it twice, what deterrent effect will it have??"It was confiscated for a day and the parents just took it so they would give up!"answered one of the students and was supported by other students.

After they all agreed, then the class leader wrote down the results of the agreement in class on paper and signed it together.
