Abstract
An effective classroom is one that runs smoothly with a few disruptions. In fact, based on the observation at grade 4 XYZ school, the researcher found that students frequently did inappropriate behavior such as calling out, excessive talking, forgetting to raise the hand quietly when asking question or stating an idea. One factor that made it happen was because the students did not clearly know about the teacher’s behavior expectation. Facing these problems, the researcher decided to use a preventive way to minimalize the students’ misbehavior using the CHAMPS approach which is a part of Positive Behavior Support. The purpose is to find out whether the students’ behavior will be improved by the implementation of CHAMPS as an expectation before the lesson started. The method of this research was Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consisted of two cycles and involved 20 students. The instruments that used were the teacher’s rating scale, student’s attitude scale, and researcher’s journal reflection. Descriptive statistical analysis and qualitative descriptive analysis were the technique used to analyze the data. From the data that has been analyzed, the researcher concluded that the implementation of Positive Behavior Support using CHAMPS had been improved student behavior in the classroom, specifically in their compliance towards the classroom rules and procedures. In short, despite its weaknesses and limitation, CHAMPS can be an alternative to minimalize students’ misbehavior and improve students’ behavior in the classroom.
Highlights
The smoothness of learning is important to be analyzed since this topic closely deals with students’ ability to learn effectively
In the school’s setting, teachers as well as students are responsible for doing appropriate behavior because it will affect the potential and ability of students
The role of the teacher is as instruments that lead them to do appropriate behavior in order to have a better future and create effective learning environment
Summary
The smoothness of learning is important to be analyzed since this topic closely deals with students’ ability to learn effectively. The researcher emphasized on the use of Positive Behavioral Support (PBS) It is a positive expectation in classroom behavior management that is designed by the teacher. Sprick (2009), as the pioneer of CHAMPS clearly stated that “CHAMPS is a systematic, prevention-oriented approach that guides teachers in providing universal classroom supports that are likely to promote appropriate behavior and reduce disruptive behavior in the classroom”. The use of CHAMPS helps the teacher to make effective decisions in managing behavior while developing an instructional structure in which students are responsible, motivated, and highly engaged in the specific task at hand (Evans, 2016). Based on the previous study above, this research was conducted directly to find out whether the implementation of Positive Behavior Support through CHAMPS can improve grade 4 student behavior in different country and school. This research will strengthen the previous research whether CHAMPS can be one of the solutions to reduce students’ disruptive behavior when it is implemented in different country from previous research
