Abstract :
Since last decade, there were so many researchers had been doing the research about
classroom management. It was being the main basic for the teacher to handle the students in
the classroom. Today's classrooms are much more complicated than in years past. In fact,
connected with English as foreign language especially in Indonesia, many schools do not pay
attention much about how the English teacher manage the classroom well and give impact on
students? achievement. This study explored the experimental study of the influence of
classroom management for students? achievement in English subject at elementary school. It
is aimed to test the theory about the influence of classroom management for students?
achievement in English subject at elementary school.
The research was carried out at MINU Banat Manyar during May 2012. The writer
takes the data from Second semester students 4A and 4B as the population of the research.
Each of classes consists of 25 students. Dealing with the research instrument of collecting the
data, the researcher makes some steps: (1) giving pretest about English subject for
experimental and control group; (2) giving treatment for the experimental group; (3) doing
posttest with English subject for experimental and control group as the result to determine the
students? achievement. The data were obtained from pre test and post test. To analyze the
data, the researcher applied descriptive and inferential statistic using t- test.
The research findings imply that classroom management can affect the student?s
achievement optimally. It is proved from the research findings show that the mean of pre-test
score in experimental group was 58, 08 and control group was 58, 24. But from the post test
analysis, the researcher found that the mean scores in experimental group was 68, 48 whereas
the control group was 60, 64 Finally, the result of the study leads to the conclusion that the
students who got classroom management by the researcher have better score in learning
achievement than those who got by the own teacher. In other word, the way of the researcher
modify the elements of classroom management including seating arrangement, classroom
decoration and students? grouping are more effective than classroom management by
traditional method.
Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers are suggested to create well
classroom management well appropriate with the needed. Good classroom management can
impact with high students? achievement. However, it should not being modern and expensive
ways. So, the teacher should attention also with the basic of school and be creative in
teaching-learning process.
