Teaching Practice

TEACHING PRACTICE

A.    Procedures of Teaching

In the beginning, I would ask pupils to do singing or doing a clap for make them enjoy in the learning, and then I would review the lesson to make sure pupils understanding their lesson on last meeting. After that, I would give some motivation to pupils, like give them pictures or something interesting to make pupils curiously. And after that teacher would do question-answering until pupils understand and they can guess topic of lesson. The pupils will not immediately be able to guess the topic of learning, so teacher should be repeat the questions, but the questions it should be from the others objects. Then I will ask to pupils to give some others example, if their can give others example it indicates that they have begun to understand. In the learning I will give a pray them “very good” accourding to the situation. In the end of lesson, I give a worksheet as an evaluation.

B.     Time Management and Organizing Activities

My supervisors gave me some tips how to control a class as follow:

1.      If there are pupils who are not paying attention teacher can:

a.       sing a song, usually my supervisor sing a song “I put my finger on my lip”

b.      give them warning like teacher can counting for 3 until 1, and when teacher say 1 pupils shoul be quiet.

2.      When the teacher is writing on the board, teachers should not turn their backs on pupils, so that teachers can write while paying attention to pupils.

3.      Write on the board should be fast.

But some of my tips are very usefull. Example, before I start the lesson I give them focus clap. If I say good morning they will clap once, if I say good afternoon they will clap twice, if I say good evening they will clap thrice, and if I say good night they will be quiet. My tips it’s very usefull, because I can know the pupils who don’t give attention or listen to our lesson.

C.    Problem Solving

First time I was teaching in the class that it was my first practice teaching in my life, I was crying after taught. Because, I disappointed for my self, only some of pupils that understood the topics so I cried. So on the next teaching I try to improve my self confident to be better than before.

D.    Classroom Management

I didn’t have any problem for classroom management. The only problem is sometimes the pupils talk tagalog, and I don’t understand. And I need help from student teacher in the class to translate it. Sometimes, I have hard time doing classroom management, example when in the evening the pupils feel so tired some of them so hard to make them listening our lesson. Good point that my supervisor instructor said that I always come to the pupils when they are doing some activities. And my supervisor instructor told me, if you write on the board don’t forget to see your pupils, because sometime if you didn’t see them something happen to your pupils.
