In the second encountered in PETA class, we are study about Planning for instruction. We watch a video that showing a teacher when teaching in the classroom. It’s interesting to watch the video, we can learn what activities that can make student active. The teacher had a clear voice, so all students can heard her voice clearly. She also uses her body language when explaining something. It’s a part of important thing in giving instruction. Moreover, when we teach in primary school it’s should be our attention to make them understand with our instruction, so we can keep the class situation handled.
The video showed tematik learning in the classroom. I think teaching with tematik is not easy. Because it needs a good skill from the teacher to combine the material and also prepare the suitable activities to assess that the students really understand the content that we gave.
From that video we can directly see the student’s response with activities that teacher give, so we can learn from the video which one the effective activities and which one not. Example when the teacher invited the students to learn out of the classroom, we see that they can learn from the real object. Its help them to learning by doing, and make the students understand about the characteristic of rambutan with describing the fruit. From that activities student can tell about the colour, the taste, etc. I think this activity make the students easy to understand.
Then I know that being a teacher is not easy. You know why? Because they should make their students successfully in the class. When students get failed with their lesson, its teacher responsibility to teach them until they understand the content. It isn’t right if we just blame the students. That’s what’s happen in our education. Teacher often blames the students when the student cannot master the content that we taught. Don’t forget about fast learner and slow learner, that should be our attention. Every student can learn and mastering the content but they have different ways. It’s the reason why teacher should be creative to make an activity in the class.

great reflection jenny.. :)
ReplyDeleteas teachers we need to understand student. unless, of course, we had some problems with slow children learn, maybe we can provide extra time outside class hours.
Yes, I agree with you :)
ReplyDeleteto become teachers is not easy. Moreover, to make our students better understand the instruction is not easy anymore. but this is a challenge and we are not too late to practice on it, I think. So keep spirit guys... :)
I agree with you Jennie,
ReplyDeleteI think to teach small class (elementary school) is not easy, because teacher has to be patient and has extra energy to teach them.
But, actually, they are so cute, when they express their love to their teacher.
I agree that to use tematic method is not easy . we have to prepare well before. I think learning process in the class in video can be more effective if the teacher have clear assessment.
ReplyDeleteTeachers always blame the students, I really agree about that. Based on my experience, my teachers in 5th and 8th grade often said "otak kamu tuh bodoh, bebel!!" . How bad they were. :((
