This semester I am doing school experience in Asisi high school, Menteng Dalam-Tebet. The school is located in the school complex and consists of +/- 20 teachers and +/- 250 students consisting of 4 classes at first-grade, 3 classes at second-grade and 3 classes at three-grade. In this school there are 3 mathematic teachers for each grade, where Mr. Heru for first-grade, Mrs. Agnes for second-grade, and Mr. Sugeng for three-grade. In this school all the citizens of the school is so good, friendly, and very welcoming and assume us (SSE students) as part of them.
In the program this semester, the Teaching Assistant, I was tasked with Rina Fardiana, where Mr. Heru and Mrs. Agnes as the supervising teacher because we were assigned to observe and perform activities of teaching assistant at first-grade and second-grade.
In the first week, I was assigned to (only) observed in class 1 and 2 for adapt and get to know the students’characteristics. But unfortunately, the second-grade must follow the leave-in program to Magelang held by the school for a week. During this week, I just face to face (observe and consult about the student) by Pak Heru one time because he was handle the second-grade students who follow the leave-in, so tasks’ Mr. Heru in handling the material was taken a classroom by Mrs Agnes. Not only observing, I also help the mathematics teachers is concerned in teaching and learning are progressing, like helping students difficulty in understanding the material being discussed (so there is interaction between me and the students in answering questions about the material).
Based on the observations in first-grade which consists of four classes, each class has each character in view and facing mathematics. Not only their way of thinking that affect their learning of mathematics, teacher factors also influence it. For example, first-grade students should be handled by Mr. Heru more comfortable and understand by him explain, but he most control the second grade and finally was replaced by Mrs. Agnes in some time, some students feel less comfortable and feel less understood from her explanation. This resulted in a less conducive atmosphere for learning and less effective, because of the comfort factor of the students were in class and follow the lessons, so as to enable the learning objectives are only achieved by some students, not by all students.
In this situation, I posotioned myself to help students strengthen their understanding of the concept the material being discussed. Not only for teaching assistant activities, it can be a practice for me in facing the real classroom. Besides teaching assistant activities and consult about character and achievements of students with the supervising teacher is concerned, I was also consulted in designing the lesson plan for create effective teaching what I would do in the next week. But unfortunately for some reason, my supervising teacher (Mr. Heru) is not able to give his lesson plan as a reference for me.
So in this week, my activities was just observing and see more about the characteristics of the students who will I am facing and to practicing facing the students in the real classroom. I hope that the activities I did during this week can be basic for me in teaching in the program this semester–teaching assistant, and can help me slowly but surely in preparation myself to be a teacher who can be a friend for my students, kind, and professional too, of course, I hope.
