As usual, every week I was obliged to make a reflection of the last meeting at Principle of effecting teaching and assessment course. Hemt,,,actually it’s quiet bored for me. But never mind…I have to get used to express my feeling through writing.
Talking about the last meeting at PETA course, I was interested on how Mrs. Lidya taught us about what should teacher do before doing teaching and learning process. It’s an interesting topic, right??
Well,,,in the beginning, Mrs. Lidya showed us a video about teaching “TEMATIK” in elementary school and asked us to give the comment for the video. It’s amazing when kids enjoyed staying longer in class and being active for every activity in class. They did observation to some objects in outdoor and then did presentation about what they observed. I think the activities are effective to do because those activities can make students free in learning, get to know more about the object that being observed and can practice students’ public speaking skill. But unfortunately there is no discussion class. Whereas the discussion class will be able to make students understand deeply about the topic that being studied.
Hemt,,,,although the video is not related to teaching mathematics in senior high school, but from the video I could learn some things that related to what should I do if I were being a teacher in senior high school. Being a teacher is not easy especially mathematics teacher. We are not only required to understand materials that will be delivered in class but also need to have some preparations before doing teaching and learning process.
Making a lesson plan is one of the preparation that teacher must do in addition to preparing some medias which also needed to support teaching and learning process. In making lesson plan, teacher should consider which activities to be effective to do. Why teacher should consider it?
Let’s back to the video about teaching “TEMATIK” in elementary school that we observed. There is an activity that I thought it’s not effective to do. Yups,,,Story telling at the end of the lesson. Most of students in the class felt bored about the story and no excited to follow the story. Based on the discussion class, actually storytelling is one kind of activity that many teachers do when delivering materials in class. The activity could be more fun and effective to do in teaching and learning process if the teacher doesn’t use monotonous delivery. Teacher must involve multiple media such as images to grab students’ attention so that they can enjoy with the activity and get the point from the activity.
In making lesson plan, not only using activity focused approach which involves many activities that can make students active in class but also teacher needs to consider about how to assess their pupils as a whole. Mrs lidya said that to assess pupils as a whole, we could apply the basic concept of Bloom’s taxonomy. Hemt,,,,I agree with that. Actually it’s good for applying the concept. It can assess students from cognitive domain, affective domain and psychomotor domain (Bloom, 1956). Teacher can encourage the use of high level skills among students and by applying this in teaching and learning process, students can retain any information that they ever got in class in a long time.
Waow..my reflection is such an essay…hahahha.
I don’t worry about how long it is. I just want to express what is on my mind.
For..Mrs Lidya,,, I hope you can enjoy to read this reflection.
Thank you
