Abstract

The purpose of this action research is to address and improve student misbehavior in the classroom through the implementation of action methodology techniques. A study was conducted to improve student behavior in the classroom by collecting data from a select group of students in the school. The findings reveal that leaving class in the middle, arriving late, and not doing homework is common among students in selected secondary schools in Hidase Fire. In this study, teacher and student interventions are being implemented to address student misbehavior in the classroom. As a result, 60% of misbehaving students leave the class in the middle of the lesson. This misbehavior occurs 53.33% of the time during morning classes. The punishment for a student who misbehaves is a 40% chance of being sent to the director and being assigned extra work. The main causes of misbehavior in class are lack of student interest (73.33%) and teacher-observed misbehavior (33.33%). Other contributing factors include arriving late to class and not completing homework assignments. Overall, the major causes of misbehavior in class are a lack of implementation of school rules and regulations. To address behavioral problems in school, various action strategies and interventions have been implemented, resulting in improved student behavior.
