PENDAMPINGAN PENGUATAN STRATEGI PENGELOLAAN KELAS DALAM MENGATASI PERILAKU MISBEHAVIOR SISWA DI SMK GEOLOGI PERTAMBANGAN TENGGARONG

Abstract

This community service activity was based on the Field Experience Program (PPL) conducted by students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Kutai Kartanegara, at SMK Geologi Pertambangan Tenggarong from September to November 2025. The activity focused on strengthening understanding of classroom management strategies to respond to student misbehavior that may disrupt the learning process. Needs identification was carried out through participatory observation, discussions with the supervising teacher, and documentation of classroom activities. The observed behaviors were mainly minor and moderate, including off-topic conversations, lack of attention during theoretical lessons, irrelevant smartphone use, and delayed task completion. The strategies emphasized preventive approaches through learning agreements, connecting subject matter with the mining industry context, and classroom arrangement, as well as curative approaches through proximity control, non-verbal reminders, and personal communication. Student teachers’ involvement in classroom learning and individual assistance formed part of the practical application. The activity indicates that classroom management in vocational education needs to be persuasive, contextual, and firm while considering students’ characteristics. Connecting theoretical content with industrial practice and maintaining personal communication may serve as alternatives for developing students’ internal discipline.
