It’s not different with the last assignment of PETA course, every student has to make a reflection about what they have learned in PETA course in the last meeting.
As usual, the whole activities in last meeting are amazing but it was different with the previous meeting. Do you agree with me??? yaa,,,We did some interesting activities such as class discussion, microteaching and one of the most favorite activity of the last meeting was acting as a principle in a school that wants to recruit a teacher for my school. Hemt,,,It was quite difficult for me, actually. I had to imagine how to be a good principle. Besides that, I had to make some questions for the interview and had to think which one deserved to be a teacher at my school. Hahhaha,,,,It was wonderful and will never be forgotten. Hemt,,,By the way, congratulation to Umam. You were accepted as a teacher in my school…:)
Creating the effective learning is important to make students enjoy with the class and enhance their understanding about the material concept. Ya,,That was the main topic that we discussed about. Basically, besides have a content knowledge, teachers must have pedagogical content knowledge. Why? By having a good pedagogical knowledge, teachers are expected to represent and communicate content in a good way so that, students best learn the specific concepts and topic of a subjects. In pedagogical content knowledge, there are some instruction models that can make the teaching and learning process effectively. Cooperative learning models, group interactions models, direct interaction models, and lecture discussion models. On that day, Mrs. Lidya asked me to make a group expert and discussed about a topic that was determined. Fortunately, my group expert got the familiar topic about group interaction models. But, before we had a discussion session, Mrs Lidya asked us to read the article that related with all of the topics that would be discussed on that day.
Talking about group interaction models, absolutely it is important for students. It allows students to co construct knowledge and building on the ideas of others. It’s really help students to view ideas in different ways. Besides that, working in a group work can help students to create team spirit and encourage students to help each others. So, it is very unfortunate if teachers don’t implement the models in their class. Based on the last discussion, there is something that we need to emphasize related to the using group interaction models in teaching and learning process? As we know that the weakness of this group interaction models is the presence of some students who don’t work in team, so that they only rely on his friends alone. That is way, teachers need to emphasize to each member of group to work together to reach their goal. Teachers not only assess the product that have generated by each group, but also need to assess the performance of individual in each group. It’s good to improving the individual accountability of each member in the group so that, they have a responsible for meeting learning objectives as measured by quizzes, tests or individual assignments. Without individual accountability, the most able students in the group may do all the work, with teammates being ignored.
Actually, the instruction models such as cooperative learning, group interaction, direct interaction or lecture discussion are well done if it used alternately in teaching process. Students will be excited on class and don’t get bored on the activities.
Hemt,,,,I think it’s enough for my reflection of the last meeting. I wish there are many interesting activities that will we do in PETA on the next meeting.
Thanks to Mrs Lidya who have successfully made us as your students enjoy with your class. Hahahahah
