TEACHERS APPROACH IN CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT: INDONESIAN IN-SERVICE TEACHERS BELIEFS AND CLASSROOM PRACTICES
Abstract
Holding complex beliefs about teaching might create problems for English teachers. They sometimes are pushed to follow the new obligations given from the government and those new rules are not always in line with their beliefs. With that emerging issue, the researchers feel the need to investigate the gap between teachers’ beliefs and their actual practices in the classroom. Thus, this current study was attempted to explore EFL teachers stated beliefs and their classroom practices regarding their approach in classroom management. There were three in-service teachers participated in this study. Data were triangulated by using semi-structured interview and classroom observations. The findings showed that there was only one participant who had a mismatch in regarding using first language (hereafter L1) and there were some incongruence among the participants’ stated beliefs in term of instructional and people management.
