Umi Salamah_E-Reflection_1st meeting

“Let me introduce my self, my name is Lydia Aritha”, said the new lecturer who has married :). She conducts a PETA course. Hmmm,, is anybody know about PETA??!! Ok,, PETA is Principles effective teaching and assessment. Thursday, 20^th September 2011 is my first day starting the PETA course in the third semester. After got some explanation about the objective of PETA course, I got the conclusion that PETA is a course which dominance with how is the way we give the effective assessment in learning process. The PETA course starting with the introduction the student of section B of one by one, such us the full our name, nick name, and where are we come from. After that, continue with the introduction from Bu Lydia. I am proud with her, because so many nice experiences that she was gotten, such us she ever taught in garden school and then become a teacher of special needs children of Down Syndrome. Ya, it’s so nice experience guys,, ^_^

                Then, the learning continued with writing about what is our hope and expectation in PETA course on the post-it. I am happy when there is a lecturer which appreciate with together agreement, so from the post-it, as a lecturer can know what is want to from the students. I think that’s can positive effect to all, because from that thing the students feel appreciate from the teacher. So, it can appear the nice relationship between students and teacher. Nothing word that the teacher know all of about anything, same as when we make a regulation class room together, so indirectly that between students and lecturer can learn each other, so it can objective assessment.

                Not only all of them, but also the other learning is a discussion between us, Bu Lydia use the Think pair share method. We are each discussion about :

1.       Who’s become inspiration from us to be a teacher?

2.       Are we appropriate to be a teacher, and why?

3.       What is our goal? And what is our expectation in PETA course? Are PETA course can effective in teaching learning when we become a teacher?

I got change to discussion with Indah and Devi. We share about our opinion each other. In fact, Indah and Devi do not want to be a teacher firstly, but day by day they want to be a teacher. I am proud with them, because the words from them parents could be inspiration for them, such us anything the job that we do, it’s better if we do heartfelt and useful to other people. Its same as if we want to be a teacher, so they sure with their  choice to be better education in Indonesia. So do I and that’s my goal actually. Hmmmm,, I think, it’s nice discussion.

Cheers…  ^_^
