Abstract
Punishment is considered as one of the effective methods in managing
misbehaviour in the classroom which has become the main problem in
educational setting for many years. The research aims to investigate kinds of
punishment and students’ perception toward punishment implemented in English
class. This research used qualitative research methodology. This research used
interview guideline as instrument to collect the data and a cellphone to record the
interview. There were four students, two males and two females, who participated
in this research. Those students filled informed consents to know their rights as
participant of the research. To analyze the data from the interview, this research
used open coding, axial coding and selective coding. The result of this research
showed that there were several types of punishment implemented in English class
at SMA N 1 Ngaglik. The level of punishment implemented in English class
varied based on the infringement committed. Besides, this research revealed that
the majority of students felt fine when receiving punishment or seeing their
friends being punished. The reason was because the disruptive student deserved to
be punished. This research also revealed that the disadvantages of punishment
implementation in English class were due to the inconsistency of the
implementation itself and the level of punishment which was less severe. Another
finding of this research indicated that the majority of respondents disagreed with
the implementation of physical punishment in the class since it inclined to
generate intention to take revenge from students.
