Learning is a process of interaction that occurs between students and educators, or between students and other learning resources that help students to achieve goals. Achieving the goals of the learning process really depends on various things. Not only from students or educators, but also influenced by facilities and infrastructure as well as other factors. In the learning process in the classroom as a teacher that I experience every day, various problems arise in achieving the expected goals. In carrying out the learning or teaching and learning process, especially teachers have their own challenges or problems which are sometimes difficult to deal with.
Each of these problems can be caused by internal factors or within the teacher himself and external factors, namely from students or the school environment. However, teachers are expected to be able to overcome these problems so that learning continues to run effectively and achieves the expected goals. If a solution is not found for these obstacles, it is likely to disrupt the learning process itself. A teacher has actually prepared everything for a smooth learning process in class. However, sometimes there are many other factors, especially the students themselves or the facilities that do not support learning.
Before starting the learning process, of course someone has an initial plan for teaching which is prepared at the beginning of the school year. Teachers who lack preparation in teaching can be detrimental to students' academic development. Before the school year starts, teachers can make a Learning Preparation Plan, prepare learning devices or media, as well as evaluation or assessment materials. A teacher must be able to control and manage the class according to the characteristics of the students. That way, every lesson material taught is conveyed well.
In my opinion, as a teacher who has been teaching for almost twenty years, mastering the class and subject matter is the main factor for the success of a learning process. Apart from the factors that I have described, there are other factors that are no less important in the success of learning, namely student factors. One of them is the lack of student interest and concentration which is one of the triggers for the obstacles faced in the learning process. If students do not focus when the teacher explains the material then learning will not be effective. The factor of students not concentrating in learning is also caused by various things. The cause could be due to factors at home or environmental factors and other factors.
The learning contract carried out by the teacher before the teaching and learning process may be a solution to overcome various problems in learning. Although a learning contract does not guarantee success in achieving goals. With a learning contract, it will be a form of responsibility between teachers and students to achieve the expected goals. However, so far I have not carried out a learning contract with students in class. However, I only made a class agreement that must be fulfilled and obeyed by all students. All agreements made in class are the students' own ideas and ideas and receive mutual approval.
In order for the teaching and learning process in the classroom to run well, all class agreements or learning contracts must be carried out.
Complying with the class agreement or learning contract is very important for a teacher to include, namely having clear learning objectives. Learning contracts are very beneficial for the learning process because they are able to build positive relationships between students and teachers. so as to increase student motivation in learning and be able to develop students' abilities.
In implementing class agreements or learning contracts so that they run according to the rules, I don't have a special strategy. However, I must always ensure student compliance with the learning agreements and contracts. So far I have seen that the class agreements made together are very effective so that learning activities run well. Having a class agreement or learning contract means that students have responsibility for learning in class. Students also understand the consequences if they violate the agreement that has been made.
