Class Management to Create Positive Learning Atmosphere at Post-Pandemic Era: How is the Students’ Perception?

Abstract

A positive learning atmosphere is one of the most important aspects to create effective classroom management. However, English teachers commonly have difficulties implementing a positive learning atmosphere for their students. The purpose of this study is to find out the students’ perspectives on classroom management to create a positive learning atmosphere. The study was conducted at a private university in central java, Indonesia. The data were acquired using questionnaire and interview and they were analysed qualitatively. The outcomes of the study demonstrate that the majority of students feel that excellent classroom management pushes them to participate more in class and encourages better grades. Students can improve their grades with the help of a solid classroom management system. Students' interest in attending meetings can be increased by effective and friendly classroom management at post pandemic era. Despite this favourable response, some students believe that excellent and constructive administration does not assist them to enhance their scores. The researcher suggests future studies to investigate the association more empirically in applying this strategy to increase students' English mastery.
