PERSONALITY OF THE TEACHER AND CLASSROOM LAYOUT

In general, all our cooperating teachers have the characteristics of a good teacher.

They are very friendly, helpful and tactful, and very interested to us. We have our

leisure moments with our co-observer. They have their own personalities and attitude.

They possess these characteristics such as pleasing personal appearance, intelligent,

flexible, sociable fairness, sense of humor, emotionally stable, have good manners and

right conduct, and many others. This characteristics help them to gain respect. A

teacher should show good attitude towards his students. His personality: He is very

positive and has the drive to teach. He is very attentive. He is very jolly, he sometimes

jokes with his students. A teacher should have good personality to gain respect. His

personal appearance: He has a pleasing personal appearance. He knew how to be

creative and resourceful. Shows good taste and neatness in clothes. He is physically

fit and has good posture. He has pleasing voice, clear and very detailed. But

sometimes he loses his voice. These are the things I’ve observed in this subject.

For Classroom Layout, we have observed different subjects and we have seen

different classroom layout such as laboratory, drafting rooms, and lecture room. For

laboratory, they have enough spaces for heavy equipment like grinding machine,

welding machine, bending machine, and other. It is properly ventilated and well lighted.

For drafting rooms, they have enough spaces for many drawing tables and it is also

properly ventilated and well lighted. For lecture rooms, they have small rooms for many

students and they don’t have enough electric fans for too many students.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Classroom Management is defined as the process of establishing and maintaining the

internal environment of the group and the classroom conditions for the attainment of

educational goals. It consists of all the provisions and procedures necessary to

maintain an environment in which instruction and learning can occur. Because it aims

to direct the efforts of both students and teachers at the important goals and tasks of

schooling, it enables students to spend their time on learning tasks rather than on

nonessentials.

Our cooperating teachers are good classroom manager, they planned the

activities very well, they were quite organized in terms of the materials to be used in

instruction, and they have the authority and the responsibility in the classroom. They are

overall classroom manager. They’ve encouraged neatness in the class activities,

promoted accuracy, kept everything in order and conserved time and energy. They

ensure that students know what to do and have the time and materials with which to do

it. Without it, classes are neither efficient nor not effective. Successful management is

achieved by careful planning, attention to business, explicit instructions, and thorough

follow-up.
