Abstract: The majority of schools, at any level, have students deemed problematic, including in vocational schools. Generally, the labeling of problematic students based on their behavior and academic ability or student achievement. Whatever factors cause students to become problematic, the teacher is still obliged to teach each student according to the established curriculum. However, when teachers only focus on providing material without involving problematic student characters in the learning process, learning achievement of problematic students will not improve and will even lead to new problems, especially related to the quality of human resources. Therefore, it is essential to dig information about how to teach students with problems. Based on classroom action research for two academic years (2014/2015 and 2015/2016) in Kandanghaur District vocational school students in grade II of West Java Province, revealed six ways of teaching students with problematic issues that are strongly related to psychological and communication factors.
