PRE-SERVICE ENGLISH TEACHER’S PERCEPTION TOWARD EFFECTIVE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT DURING INTERNSHIP

Adelia Dwi Marlella

Abstract

This study aims to seek Indonesian pre-service English teachers' perceptions toward effective classroom management, how they implement those perspectives, and clarify the extent to which their perception is compatible with the implementation of the actual practices during their internship. The researcher applied a qualitative research method with a narrative inquiry design. The data were collected through questionnaire, interview, document analysis, and observation then analyzed in three stages which included data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The result revealed that pre-services English teachers had a positive perception toward two out of three theories as strategies to achieve effective CM practices, they implemented the theories, and what they have implemented during their teaching practice is aligned with their perceptions. However, they have not implemented it optimally because they felt that theories related to CM were not specifically taught. Therefore, it is suggested that education programs should place greater emphasis on classroom management theory and practical strategies in their curricula. The findings of this research have significant implications for Pre-service English teachers, especially in determining the most effective strategy to achieve the best practice of CM during the teaching practicum.
