In this presentation is a research of how to make classroom rules effectively. There are actually 6 questions to ask, but the last question I thought it is just how to continue adopting the rules so I choose only 5 questions to include in this slide.
7. Classroom rules are what teacher wants her students
to learn or acquire in classroom.
Classroom rules are sentences or phrases related to
the way students behave or learn in the classroom.
They are set to demonstrate the students a good way
of learning and behaving.
Classroom Rules tell students what is right or wrong to
do or act in the classroom.
Classroom Rules are also a way that teachers can
easily control their students in the classroom.
8. create Classroom Rules?
Questions
Who will participate in?
What behaviors will serve as the basis
for the classroom rules?
How will I phrase the classroom rules?
How many rules should I use?
10. Who will
participate
in rule
creation?
Teacher and Students Teacher Only
An effective way.
“Students play an
informal role in
rule creation,
because rules
follow students’
behavior and
classroom need”
Stevenson
(1991)
Observing the
students’ attitudes
is very important
for all teachers
11. What behaviors will serve as the basis for the classroom rules?
- Excessive student talk and volume or
students talk a lot.
- Students interrupt others.
- Students do not appear ready to
learn.
- Students do not have correct school
supplies ready.
- Students push and talk getting into
line.
- Frequent inappropriate out of seat
behavior.
- Students hit each other.
- Students work slowly.
12. Setting students’ behavior also
gives teachers benefits
Teachers can set the their classroom rules responding
directly to their students’ behavior.
Observing their students’ mistakes making in the classroom,
so teachers can create classroom rules to prevent the
students from acting that way.
13. Setting students’ behavior also
gives teachers benefits
Make teachers understand their students more.
That is why I said you should see
your students’ behavior
18. How many rules should I use?
Avoid Too many rules Fewer statements and words
Minimize students’
confusion
Make it easy to students to remember how
they should (not) behave in the classroom
19. How many rules should I use?
Too many rules
teacher becomes too
serious to the students
cause some problems to his or her
teaching as teachers sometimes
need to be fun in some cases
students may not
respect the rules
effectively
Rules become
useless
21. How will I communicate
my rules to my
students?
22. Post Publicly
clearly teaching rules to
the class
Rules should be posted where all learners can observe them and
in a manner that enables teachers to readily make reference to
them
23. Post Publicly

24. Some rules should be change each
term to follow your students’
behavior and keep those which
apply to their current behavior
KEEP IN MIND THAT

Teacher should avoid having many rules to minimize student confusion. Fewer statements make it easier for a student to remember how they should or should not behave in the classroom.
Teachers should think of their students’ remembering ability and their characteristic. Too many rules can make the teacher becomes too serious to the students. Thus, it will cause some problems to his or her teaching as teachers sometimes need to be fun in some cases.
On the other hand, students may not respect the rules effectively and the rules may become no useful.

Note: Direct instruction to the students seems appropriate for students having less social knowledge. Explain the rule’s goal and importance to the student can be a good way leading teacher to teaching the rules.
After explaining a rule goal and importance, a teacher would model examples following behaviors. A student would have the opportunity to either answer questions about or role-play rule behaviors.
To make sure the students always pay respect to the classroom rules review them everyday at the end of the lessons.
