Self Report - Teaching Practice

5.     Teaching practice

For teaching practice, please write a teaching plan and consult with teacher (of your teaching subject). Then student teachers will be assigned to teach in class and reflect on their teaching after class. Please write a report on the teaching practice according to topics as follows:

1.1      Procedures of teaching

For teaching practice, I prepared two kinds of lesson plan. I made Indonesian format and Philippine format. I used Indonesian format for the first two days, and Philippine format for last two days. I only taught 4 days in that week, because Monday was holiday. I didn’t get many advices for Indonesian format. The teachers said that I really know about that. They only gave the corrections for the grammar. For the Philippines format, I got a lot of suggestions and corrections. Over all, there were three main parts of teaching procedures, Pre Developmental Activities, Developmental Activities and Post Developmental Activities. Pre Developmental. Pre developmental Activities consists of pray, checking attendance, recall and motivation. Developmental Activities consists of topics to be discusses and guide questions for deliver the materials. This part explain how the teachers deliver the materials in the class. Post Developmental Activities consists of generalization and evaluation. Generalization is the part of the lesson for the teachers to review what they have been discussed in that meeting. Evaluation is the part of the lesson to check the understatements of the students to the topic that they have learn. But the students answer in this part will be not used in grading.

1.2      Time management and organizing activities

My supervisor instructors give me some feedback to help me prioritize basic classroom tasks as well as increase my productivity so I can have more time to spend teaching as follow:

•        Prioritize: If I set priorities it can help me keep on track when something unexpected may occur.

•        Give homework: Don’t be afraid to leave the repetitive assignments that help reinforce those important concepts for homework. By doing this, it clears up extra time in class for those important lessons. Leave all of the assignment that relate to practice for homework.

•        Ensure time allocation: Make sure to follow the time allocation since the teaching learning here takes 30 minutes less than in Indonesia. Thus, it is better not to spend much time in the pre or post activity.

•    Maximize lesson planning.

1.3      Problem-solving

After conducting the teaching practice in the school, things that need to be improved are the ability to overcome unexpected things that may and voice controlling during teaching learning process. My mentor suggested me as the teacher to prepare plan B for teaching. So if the plan A does not work, I can still keep the teaching process run well. Moreover, I should know how to make tone of my voice in the class. I need to make the tone high when I seek students’ attention.

1.4      Classroom management

I learn so much experiences in Philippines . Here they use sit plan to the students. Every class had different sit plan. It depends on the class. Start from observation and teaching assistance, I got the experiences in classroom management. The teacher should also had the better voice so it would be helpful in classroom management. Especially in group activity, we had to be clear give the direction. How we divided into some groups and also explain how the technical of their activity should do.
