Analysis of Elementary School Teachers' Ability in Managing Classes With Student Diversity

Abstract

A comfortable classroom environment cannot be separated from the teacher's role in managing its learning environment. Heterogeneous classroom conditions are a challenge for teachers to create a conducive and meaningful learning atmosphere. This matters because every student has different characters, needs and potential, each of which needs to be developed. On the other hand, the heterogeneity of students if it is not managed properly it can be a source of various problems in the class. Analysis of elementary school teachers' abilities in managing classes with diverse students aims to achieve teacher competence in dealing with various student backgrounds. This research aims to analyze the ability of elementary school (SD) teachers to manage classes with a diversity of students. This research uses a literature review analysis method with teachers from several elementary schools as the subject. Data is collected through observation and documentation. The results show that although teachers have an understanding of the importance of inclusive classroom management, many teachers have difficulty implementing effective strategies. This research emphasizes the need for further training to improve teachers' abilities in managing diverse classes.
