E-Refleftion School Experience

Hello guys, how is your school experience? It is so exciting, isn't it? So am I. I have a lot of story to share with all of you. Okay, let me introduce the school that i have visited for one week. SMAIT Nurul Fikri. It lies at Depok, West Java. From the name of school, we can see that, it is islamic school. Absolutely right, in every morning before starting the lesson there is obligatory ritual, reading quran and pray dluha. I think it is very good to be applied in school, surely accordance with their belief. As we know, school not only place for learning subjects but also for creating good characteristic of students, religious activity is also important to do at school as a foundation to create students' character.

There is something different in SMAIT Nurul Fikri. Start from this year, school apply moving class system. Actually, I often heard about that system included the advantage that we can get by applying it such us  the students will get new class and new atmosphere for each subject to motivate them to study and avoid them become bored, and many the other advantages. But until now, I never see directly about application of moving class.

Now I have a chance for observe directly about the effectiveness of moving class. And according to me, sorry to say that its system doesn't work well. Maybe it depends on school agreement about moving class it self. In SMAIT Nurul Fikri, they don't give time for students to move. The end of one class is one time with another class to start. Actually it can be solve if each class ended early to give time for students to move. Unfortunately each class ended when the bell rang. It means, there is no time for students to move. Moreover, students often abuse time for moving to go to canteen or the other forbidden activities. And I think, actually it is not wise if each class has to end earlier because, based on my experience, it will be difficult to arrange effective lesson plan in short time. There is a worry that the content of material subject can not be delivered well in limited time especially for mathematics subject. So, according to me, it will be more wise if we certain time for students to move. And school also need to be more strict in disciplining student when they move from one class to another class.

Okay guys, that is my reflection for school experience first week.

E-Reflection week 5 Principle of effective teaching and assessment

What did you feel when you teach in front of class for the first time? Do you feel nervous, shy or sometimes couldn’t think normally for a while??

Yes, that were my feeling that had happened to me when I was doing team teaching for the first time with my friend this afternoon at grade x SMA 12 Jakarta. There were 38 students with different background in the room. No air conditioner and I felt uncomfortable with the situation. Can you imagine that, I had to wear the coat alma mater that was too hot during the teaching and learning process took place? Fiuuh,,. But fortunately, the feeling lost as time goes by. I realized that I was a teacher at the moment and I had to behave like a teacher. I remember with the words of my friend that if you want to be a teacher, once prepare yourself before facing them. Then, you should remember that you are the main director in your class. You are the one who has a right to choose to success the teaching process or not, to help them to reach their goals or just let them stuck in their place stand. Then, I back to my spirit, tried to enjoy with condition and do my best for teaching process. 

Initially, some students seemed uninterested with the activity that my friend and I have made, they are too talkative or even worse a blow up occurred and nothing got accomplished. I almost gave up at the time. But, my friend didn’t stop to give her support to me. My friend suggested me to calm down and assured me that the next activity that have made by us will be fun and would make them enjoy and active with our class. Then, I tried to change the situation by asking all students to watch our video that we have prepared before teaching process. It was about the quadratic equation; they were really excited and seemed pay full attention on the video. After that, my friend and I continued our activity by making group discussion. It was important because we would have a game called by “Kartu Jenius”. Do you know what “kartu jenius” is? It is such a card that they have two parts. One part is for the question and the other one is for the answer. Each group should match between the question and the correct answer. So that everybody needs to discuss with their group to solve the problem in a short time. Each team seemed to compete to win the game. I saw that they were very enthusiastic and I was satisfied with the condition. 

When I was in senior high school, my mathematics teacher often used it in class. This game was so fun and it was inspiring me to use this game in my class. I think this game is good for students to improve students’ understanding. It is also can enhance students‘motivation to active in class. Finally, the bell was ring and it was time for us to end the lesson. I was happy and have a good impression for this experience. It was my valuable experience. You know that this experience is really difference with the micro teaching that we have ever done in class. 

This experience is very challenging and gives me a lesson that changed me as a teacher. Students are people who have feelings and who don't want to feel cornered. They want to learn but they also want to feel as if they have some control over themselves. It is our tasks as teachers to find not only what motivates each student to learn but also what motivates them to misbehave. If we can meet them at that point and take away that motivation, we can go a long way towards a more effective classroom and learning experience.

E-Reflection : School Experience

The first week

                The first day of school experience is to become an assistant teacher, in class we just observe and see the condition of the class. And the second day we immediately fill the class by discussing the  exercise because the master teacher is not teach that day. and I feel happy because of the enthusiastic and spirit of students are so great. and finished discussing the assignment and we go to the school library and the many students who come to us, telling us about their probem in receiving lessons math, especially because they are groundless if the math teacher is the type of person teaches just provides materials and complete its work as a teacher regardless of whether students understand or not. and this is evident from the decline in test scores of students, from 39 students only one student who scored evident five while 38 people only get a value below 4.00. I rate the teacher had failed, because the learning goals not achieved. and many students admitted if their failure is a factor the how to teach a teacher, because the material presented is only a little while a assignment a so complete. And that makes pupils more do not understand about the learning materials is that they always a scolded if ask , the teacher forcing them to use logic to answer difficult questions. The students is banned to ask too much. And I think  the attitude of the teacher is wrong, should have as a teacher he must be willing to answer questions students well because it is tugasnya.saya felt when I became an assistant teacher, I get a lot of lessons to make a reflection for me as a prospective teacher, to be for the better.

Second Reflection for 4th meeting

I am sorry for being late. Actually I have posted my reflection since Thursday ago. I don't know whats going on with this blog recently, my posting was gone. And unfortunately, i have known just now about it. So I late to make the make up of my reflection, but it is out of my control. it will be precious experience for me. Next, I will check and make sure that, my reflection has been posted well.

Our agenda on last meeting was Micro Teaching. All groups presented their lesson plan one by one. This activity is so fun and effective for us as a practice before do teaching assistant in school experience later. Besides watching some funny activities (because we have to act as if we were primary students), we also can learn each other about models of instruction that effective to be applied.

Everything run well actually, unfortunately the two latest group can not presented their lesson plan as well because the time class almost end. I think, maybe it happened because the early group can not manage time well, so they only left very little time for latest group. It is lesson for us in doing presentation, hopefully next time we can manage time well in doing presentation accordance to the rule.

Another problem that i saw was, when the class after end, audience have been bored and less respect. I just want to say that we have to fair for all groups. We have to be more cooperative in helping each other. Please give your attention fully even you have been bored when the class almost end. Think as if you were that last group, how pity.. :'(

That's all my reflection for our last meeting, and sorry for being late because there is problem with my posting before.

Thanks

My Reflection_Ayu Yuliyanti Purwandari

Oke, the next meeting in PETA Course before we have do our school observation as Teacher’s Assistant so we haveto do our Role Play first…This is my reflection in our Role play guys..

The Activities which are presentations, watch the movie and discussions. It’s give reflection after the session for more sensitive to our students because each student has their way to get the attention from the teacher. They have many Characteristic which was talking and discussing together will help them to know each other in group so every class is depend on teacher instruction.

Especially in elementary school we have to teach with using any various methods in easy instruction because they only have several minutes to focus and feel comfortable. And then when we talked more in one session so it will make them boring.

I have experience before to teach a student in private course that i have to teach her, but my mood did not good as long as learning process. So, our mood has main important thing to make condition and situation teaching and learning process. I think as a teacher this is our real risk if we have a problem but we can not express our feeling in front of them. Just keep and also smile. In the first time is so difficult but when we usual to do it. So, it will be easy and also make us to be happy and thankful person…because we always spread our positive feeling to our students and also as inspiration for them…

Thank you my friend coz i can learn this from you and thank you Mom Lidya too 

We can do coz we usual to do…

“We will good in speaking with speaking and we will good in teaching with teaching….”

From the previous meeting in the PETA Class, we do micro teaching in our each group. I learn that the goals from the activities are to teach us and to make us be familiar with teaching process in the class. From literature and from my lecturer I know and understand that if we want to good and master in one subject we should try in the subject, make some faults and errors, so we can learn from the errors and make it better in the next process. At the end, we can make it be better and perfect.

So, from the activities in the PETA class, I can reflect it with my previous experience when I teach my students in private, I know that I can’t only learn and read the theories in education teaching, but I must practice it with micro teaching and others activities to make me be familiar and press me to know more about teaching process.
