    Talking is one of the main misbehaviours that occur in the classroom that we observe.

    Talking actually means to communicate or exchange ideas. Based on our observation during

    SBE, we can see that this misbehaviour always happen in every class. The reason why thisproblem happen because children have the ability to talk incessantly. It is like common for

    teachers to find students talking at improper times in classroom. Based on our observation

    they usually talk when the lesson begin. These students actually will disturb other students.

    Usually students that sit next to the talking students will become the victim. Some of them

    will listen what have been said by their friends. But there are also several students that no

    interest the thing that their friends said. While in class, students are supposed to be listening

    to teacher and supposed to pay attention to what he or she is teaching. It is like talking over

    someone in a conversation it is very rude and disrespectful.Students talking in class withoutpermission are distracting to both the teacher and other students who are learning. When

    students talk in class it disrupts the entire lesson. Not only the student itself will not

    understand about the lesson that has been taught but their friends also will not understand it

    because they are talking in classroom.

    The reasons why children talk in class may include children having short attention spans or

    the many distractions present about the classroom. When children are talking in class, they

    are also satisfying a need. Just as anyone would look for a drink when they are thirsty. Thereis a large amount of time that children just talk for the sake of talking to their peers despite

    being in the middle of a class. The content involved in these conversations might not be

    academic related. It is difficult to control this particular behaviour because the subjects in

    these conversations are usually of higher interest to the children than the lesson itself, even

    more so when concepts being taught are extremely dry or difficult. Therefore, they require

    more willpower from the children participating in the act to remove themselves from it and

    concentrate. Teachers do have the responsibility to clarify in which situations they expect

    lively discussions and when they want total silence. This would help greatly in their lessonsavoiding an ironic scenario whereby there is silence when they need active participation and

    noise during normal times.

    Second, some of the students also playing with objects and did not hear what have been

    teach by their teacher. They may become distracted in class by playing with their personal

    belongings. As example, they will play with objects on their table even it is a pen. The reason

    they playing with objects are because of their attention span.Attention span is the amount oftime that a person can concentrate on a task without becoming distracted. Most educators

    and psychologists agree that the ability to focus one's attention on a task is crucial for the

    achievement of one's goals. Several studies also showing that students have attention

    spans of about a minute for every year of age. Children with short attention spans are likely

    to be impatient while listening, waiting for their turn to speak and have a hard time returning

    to an unfinished task once they are interrupted. That is why they start to playing with the

    objects on their table. Such items as music players or games may entice students to redirect

    their attention away from the teacher. The best policy for dealing with this type of

    misbehaviour is to clarify to students that personal belongings are not allowed in the

    classroom. The second reason is because the student is hyperactive. Hyperactive students

    tend to have a very high energy level, act impulsively and can be behaviourally distracting.

    They may fidget, play with objects, tap pencils so loudly against their desk that kids from

    across the room look over at them.

    Third, the student refuses to do any work. Based on our observation students like this

    always refuse if his or her teacher asked to do something. They usually like to do things that

    they like. They also always ignore and did not pay attention to their teacher. If a teacher tried

    to attract them by using games and music, they still did not want to participate. Most of this

    student will not do the work that has been order by their teacher except they are being force

    to do it or they will get a punishment if they did not do it. Students that act like this actually

    will not get good grades and also did not active in sports. Besides, when we asked class

    teacher about this problematic misbehaviour, the teacher said this misbehaviour happens

    because of the students did not get full attention from their teacher. When the teacher did

    not pay attention to them, they will boycott every activity that has been taught by the teacher.

    They feel that by doing that they will get the teacher attention. When asked to begin working

    they will refuse, deflect and avoid by crawling under his desk, running around the room and

    such.

    The second reason why they refuse to do any work is because the student has ADHD,

    anxiety or depressions. Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) also known as

    hyperkinetic disorder (HKD) is a mental disorder. Inattention, hyperactivity, disruptivebehavior and impulsivity are common in Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

    Academic difficulties are also frequent. The symptoms are especially difficult to define

    because it is hard to draw a line at where normal levels of inattention, hyperactivity, and

    impulsivity end and clinically significant levels requiring intervention begin. it is normal to

    seen these behaviours close up and personal. These children actually get frustrated and

    believe they cant do something. Then they wont do it and they will say See sir, I told you I

    couldnt do it! Theyll look at an assignment and see how long it is, or look at a book and flip

    immediately to the back to see how many pages it is and without reading it at all, decide they

    just cannot do it. The sad part is these children are masters at self-sabotaging. Sometimes

    seems that these children dont believe theyre worth their own efforts. Teaching children

    with these negative thought patterns is maddening. We would think that if a child does not

    turn in an assignment and then gets an F, they would work harder next time. But not these

    children, if they dont do an assignment, their thinking is that they would have failed it

    anyway, so why bother? They usually will use this type of excuse to avoid from doing any

    work.
