INTRODUCTION

1. Background of the study

In today's society, schools are being held accountable for every aspect of students achievement
"effective classroom management which begins with efficient lesson planning preparation, helps
teacher to teach and students to learn "(Brannon, 2010). As the teachers manage the classroom it
should be prepared through lesson planning to organize well the environment. Ever since the face
to face classes started students performance are getting inferior; they get used of doing modular
learning back then and the classroom environment are more focusing on written performance.
Classroom environment is a critical part of effective instruction”. “Students thrive in a positive class
climate and an environment in which they feel safe, cared for and involved”. “From a student
perspective, effective Classroom environment provides students with opportunities to socialize while
learning interesting content”. “From a teacher perspective, effective classroom management involves
preventive discipline and interesting instruction”(Suleman & Hussain, 2014). “Similarly, Classroom
environment is important because it keeps students motivated to continue their work, provides
appropriate instruction and feedback, and managing student work and it can keep disruptive behaviors
down to a minimum”(Clunies‐Ross, Little, & Kienhuis, 2008).

Although effective classroom environment produces a variety of positive outcomes for students,
according to a survey of pre-k through grade 12 teachers conducted by APA (2006), teachers
report a lack of support in implementing classroom environments strategies. Chaotic classroom
environments are large issue for teachers and can contribute to high teacher stress and burnout
rates. Therefore it is important to use effective classroom environment strategies at universal level
in a tiered model, as they serve as both prevention and intervention methods that promote
positive outcomes for students. The purpose of education is to provide a safe and friendly
environment in order for learning to take place”. “Therefore teachers should know how to use
and apply strategies that will allow and also help students to learn” (Suleman, Hussain, & Akhtar,
2013).

system, factors affecting the performance of the students regarding to the use of the

strategies and how does the teacher and student could effect of each other’s

The system of education in this year 2020-2021 has brought a big impact to the

students, especially to the young ones. Teacher is the pivot of education system. Their

knowledge and understanding of one’s capability and average level of learning are the

basic of making decisions about and using appropriate instructional strategies and

techniques. According to Vavral (2013, p.5) the competent teacher is “one who

effectively and efficiently accomplishes a task (instructs) in a given context (in

classroom) using appropriate knowledge, skills attitudes and abilities that have adjusted

and developed with time and needs.” When it comes to elementary students’ teacher

must possess such ideal attitude to deal with them, they were only young one and just

needed to learn yet. Teaching is not an easy task but then it is a should and they ought

to show their best to teach the students very well.

Students, on the other hand, they come to school and get inside to their respective

classroom.

Teacher develops teacher-student interaction in respectful, appreciative,

encouraging, disciplined, approachable, and comprehensive environment. Teachers use

variety of methods motivational techniques, models, pedagogical skills by considering

 resources, individual differences, etc. Teachers provide opportunity to experience

things, challenging tasks, self-learning visits to educational trips, and guide to develop

notes, interpretations, observation and experiments. Teachers plays a cooperative role

for students i.e. as a guide, facilitator, helper who tries her best to communicate

curriculum objectives and promote students cognitive; affective and psychomotor skills

design, research environment, research respondents and sampling technique, research instrument, data
collection procedure and statistical analysis procedure.

3.1 Research Design

This study will utilize mixed-method of research. This research will use the mixed-method
research design, it is appropriate to the study in collecting necessary information about the present
