Abstract: This study aims to explore the advantages of alpha brainwave in developing the resilience of teachers while managing activities in the classroom. The reason of conducted study is the fact that most teachers are still struggling and find it difficult to cope with students’ misbehavior in the class as it impacts on overall classroom activities. This study employed a qualitative approach with the grounded theory method. The data are collected through directive observation and guided interview which are applied to the respondents. Stages which are developed to apply the alpha brainwave in developing teacher’s resilience are, 1) Build and Maintain Rapport; 2) Calibration; 3) Map the Brain; 4) Assertiveness Installation; 5) Drop the Anchor; and 6) Provide Feedback. Through these stages, teacher’s brainwave will be adjusted to alpha wave, and be explored the problems they have in order to solve. Since the problem has been solved, the emotion will relieve and it affected the resilience itself. In other words, resilience covers the ability to be confident in possessed abilities, skills in solving the problems, competencies in enacting a realistic plan and actualize them, and capabilities to have control over feelings and impulses. The result of the analysis showed that the proper use of alpha brainwave may give advantages in developing teacher’s resilience as they manage the classroom activities.
