During the 3rd of March 2021 and I was doing my observation at Sunrise Primary School in the lower class level, Class 1. Students at this age were hyperactive and like to play all the time. When I first arrived at their classroom and I could see that students were wild as they played around with their mates while their teacher tried to settle them down in order for her to start the lesson. There was no effective strategy she applied that she used to shout and controlled them very strictly by using corporal punishment.
As she delivered her lesson, most of her students were listening to what she was saying but few of them were very naughty as they played around and teased others. Her delivering seemed interesting but chaotic in some ways as some of her students played around and did not want to do their task. Additionally, some students always asked to go outside while others made their mates cry.
However, the lesson went well as most of them did their task well and achieved the learning outcome at the end of the lesson. I could tell this after looking at their book when their teacher marked their activity, and most of them marked very correctly and excellency, which means they did very well.
In order to be effective and flexible in teaching, it is best that sending naughty student to principal and time out corner will be better rather than using corporal punishment which is very not good and harsh for them. It is also good that using polite and calm words in controlling the students is very helpful as students prefer kind words than shouting and controlling them very harshly.
