In performing this function the principal needs to pay attention to ¬ the following:

1) It must be realized that something new is not necessarily better than the old one,

2) If you can find or create something new at au way, he does not need to look down the long,

3) When it comes to things that are very basic such as the national curriculum, teaching and learning approach is new, and so on, then efforts should be consulted to the appropriate authorities within the Ministry of Education and Culture (DG PUOD and Director of Basic Education, 1996:1 @) -18). Pt

Referring to the concepts and functions of management of the class, it can be argued that no other class management refers to three things: the setting of students, maintaining the smooth engagement and physico facility setting classroom management problems can be grouped into two categories: individual and group problem issues (M. Entang and T. Raka Joni, 1983:12). Classroom management actions taken by a teacher will be effective if he can identify the exact nature of the problem at hand.

The emergence of the individual problems are based on the basic assumption that '~ all the individual behavior is an attempt accomplishing certain goals that needs to be accepted by the group / community and for accomplishing self-esteem. When those needs are no longer met by way of a fair-way of the individual concerned will seek to meneapainya by way of-way of the other as to act in ways neither good nor asocial (Rudolf Dreikurs, 1968). Furthermore Rudolf Dreikurs, see also M. Entang and T. Joni Raka 1983: 13; Ornstein, 1990:75) states that the result of unmet needs 'i:?' it will happen some possible student actions such as:

a .. Behavior to the attention of others (attention getting behaviors). Geja1a which looked from their 1aku are students in the class clown or the slow-paced in doing so need to get some extra help.

b. Behavior to show strength (power seeking behaviors). The symptoms are always the students argue, loss of emotional control, angry, crying and also muneul passive action is always forgetting the important rules in the classroom.

c. Level of behavior aimed at hurting others (revenge seeking behaviors). Symptoms that arise from this behavior is the act of hurting others as mengatangatai, hitting, biting, and so on.

d. Inability Demonstration (passive behaviors). The symptoms are in the form of not receiving any to try to do anything, because they thought that whatever the failure that happened.

As the probe Dreikurs and Cassel suggests the attitude towards the actions of the learners are as follows: (1) if the teacher was annoyed because the child's behavior, perhaps the purpose is to get the attention of the child, (2) if teachers feel defeated at au threatened, perhaps the child goal is the pursuit of power, (3) if the teacher feels hurt, the child objectives may retaliate, and (4) if the teacher rnerasa not helped, for the purpose of child rnungkin rnenyatakan non rnarnpuan.

Of the four ways / measures taken resulted in the formation of four individual behavior patterns often seen in school age children, namely:

a. Active-constructive pattern of the pattern of extreme behavior, arnbisius to be a super star in its class, and power mernpunyai effort to help teachers with vitality and heartfelt.

b. Destrukstif active pattern is a pattern of behavior that is manifested in the form of making jokes, like angry, hostile and rebellious.

c. Passive-constructive pattern is a pattern that points to a slow form of behavior with the intention of always helped and expect attention.

d. Passive-destructive patterns are patterns of behavior that points sloth (shiftless nature) and stubborn.

The next problem is the problem. This issue is an issue that must be considered also in classroom management. Problem group will muneul caused by unfulfilled needs of the group. Group problems. Issues that may be the problem ¬ muneul in classroom management are:

a. Class less cohesive because of reasons of sex, race, socioeconomic levels, dansebagainya.

b. Deviation from norms of behavior that have been agreed in advance, for example deliberately talking loudly in the library reading room,

c. Class reacted negatively to one of its members, such as mocking members of the class in the art of teaching singing voice with sound discordant,

d. "Membombong" class members who actually violate the norms of the group, such as providing encouragement to the class clown,

e. Groups tend to be diverted his attention from the task yangtengah tilled,

f. Such low morale or protest to the teacher because it considers a given task less fair,

g. Classes are less able to adjust to new circumstances such as disruption schedules, classroom teachers had to be replaced temporarily by other teachers, and so on (Lois V. Johnson and Mary A. Bany in Entang M. and T. Taka Joni, 1983).

Lois V. Further Johnson and Mary A. Barry suggested traits in the classroom as well as variables, namely:

a. Unity group

Unity group plays an important role in influencing members behave. Unity related to communication, change attitudes and opinions, standards groups, and the pressure on the split kelornpok at au non unit. The use of strong dominance can increase unity. But the rules by giving teachers can menirnbulkan unrest. Unity can be developed to help students to realize their relationship another as a means pernersatu sarna.

b. Interaction and communication

Tr adi interaction in communication, if some person / member has a certain opinion, and there was communication within the group and forwarded to discuss the opinion that the interaction with the d-ith senng emotions that strengthen the interaction. However, each group will seek to maintain their group interactions. This needs to be assisted by the teacher so that learning tasks can take place in Waj ar. Teachers need to know the needs of their students to communicate and give him the freedom to speak. Komunikasiverbal or non-verbal, if not resolved to make the situation damaged. To help them, teachers know their background.

c. Group structure

Informal structure of the group can influence the formal structure. Some individuals may be an informal structure, if necessarily. Placed in the high hat can destroy intimacy groups. Where the members of the group have tried to be very attractive. Positions above can be made if necessary changing.

d. Objectives of the group

If the goals are determined jointly by the student in relation to the purpose of education, the group members will work more productively to accomplish tasks. In other words, students will work with ~ well if it is related to their goals.

e. Control

Punishments for Slswa created with the offender, may reduce the violation, but some kids still will not be able to learn well. Good way. are teachers must diagnose the needs and difficulties before helping them. The measures used to control the grade of the worst to best are:

1) Penalties or threats

2) Change of situation or strategy

3) Dominance or influence

4) Cooperative or participation

f. Climate group

Climate group hasi1.dari aspects are interconnected in groups or products all the power in the group. Climate is determined by the degree of familiarity of the group as a result of the aspects mentioned above. Strong familiarity will control the behavior of its members. Climate groups are essential in making amendments in the group. In addition to individual and group problem issues, another thing closely related to classroom management is the organization of the school.

School organization determine student placement, utilization of skills and talents of teachers and physico management organization, procedures, goals, and physical planned together to determine a student's behavior. School organizations deemed decisive influence on the direction of student behavior. However, most students are unaware of the influence of this organization against him. Teachers and students affected by the school organization as a whole, including the way of grouping, curriculum, physical plans, rules, values ​​attitudes and actions. This assumption is reasonable because the social organization as a sub-system and the broader social system including the national school system. Norms evolve as a result of a process of interaction and adaptation to the pressures. This is the norm in terms of covering the values, ideas, and feelings. Norma refers to the tendency to respond to situations, behavioral or information-. Norma became a common function that binds members, parents or students in one school as a system. Work structure and inter-relations personnel, school staff also associated with intangible norms rules and policies. Nortpa norms helped integrate the school principal with subordinates. Norma sparked forms of behavior appropriate for personnel, including the behavior of the students. Policies and school rules give reflection to the attitudes, values, organization, goals, and student behavior in the classroom. Regulation is, the application will kebij. Writing rules do not result in different interpretations, it is different with the unwritten rules. Unwritten rules that will make interpretations vary from one school to another school or the teacher with other teachers. This situation is one aspect of school organization is less effective in supporting the creation of an atmosphere of learning.
