These rules can give a clear communication of the teachers to the learners. It is important to the learners to know and realize that they should be held accountable for their action. Second, business-academic approach, where student behave in an orderly manner and are involved enthusiastically in learning, exist where teachers have a clear idea of the type of classroom conditions, students behavior and instructional activities they wish to produce. A good instruction, standards for forms, neatness, and due date, and procedures of absent of pupils are the clear communication of assignments and work requirement of the teacher. And also, the teacher should monitor always their students. Third, the behavior modification approach, it involves various techniques and methods, that rang from simple rewards to elaborate reinforcement training. This approach was identifying the behavior of the learners. Fourth approach, group managerial approach, discipline on classroom management that is base of Jacob Kounin’s research.
