ANALYZE

Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following questions.

1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class? Why? Why not?
Yes. Because routines are a way of managing the classroom. These routines are the procedure to ensure
discipline and order in the class. These routines will ensure a smooth-functioning classroom all year
long. As a teacher, establishing general rules of conduct for classroom will discipline students by
deciding what consequences will wait for them by breaking those rules. These classroom routines would
avoid some of the distractions that keeps the students from functioning effectively and would affect the
student’s behavior and learning.

2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented? Explain your answer.
Be on time, do not cheat, be attentive to class, wear complete uniform, keep the classroom clean,
actively participate in classroom activities, obey all school rules, and respect everyone. These are the
rules that were systematic and consistently implemented inside the classroom. These are the common
rules that will ensure student’s discipline inside the class. These rules will contribute to successful
learning and an orderly environment in present and in the future. It would be more effective if the
teacher will use behavior strategy like being a role model to the students.

3. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation the rule?

Learning Episode 2: Classroom Management and Classroom Routines FS1 Page 4

 The purpose of classroom rules is to guide the students in their interactions as well as their activities. In
formulating classroom rules, the students should understand the rules and its consequences. When
students understand the classroom rules and its consequences, it will reduce misunderstandings,
assumptions, and miscommunication in the future.

REFLECT
Reflect on the various routines and rules observed.

1. Which of the routines will you most likely apply in your class? Why? Why not?
The routines that I will apply in my class are; be on time, keep the classroom clean, actively
participate in classroom activities and respect everyone. I choose these rules because they are
observable and achievable, it would be a good practice for my students in the future.

2. Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the resource teacher. Will you have the same rules? If
not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your answer.
Yes. Because these classroom rules are effective in managing the behavior of the students.
Behaviorist theory should be considered, that the teacher’s role is to establish rules and procedures
and to communicate these rules clearly to students to implement appropriate reward and
punishment for the compliance of the rules.
