reflection of the whole semester

micro teaching class is very useful for PBI students. it gives us a lot of knowledge of how to teach well. i learn so many things such as how to do set induction, set closure, and how to manage the class. micro teaching class also accustoms us to be a teacher because it gives chances to us to practice teaching. here, i do really know about how hard to be a teacher. we have to prepare the lesson plan, materials that attracts students' attention, etc. however, being a teacher is nice because we can know about different characteristics of our students, we also learn how to be more patient. overall, i love this micro teaching class with the koplaks members and i will those moments so much :D

May 16th, 2012

my friends showed their improvement in teaching. they looked more confidence than before.
last friday i taught second semester students of PGSD. i got good comments from the teacher even i only had a little time. i was satisfied with my performance. besides, in the second performance i did not feel nervous or clumsy when i was teaching. it was fun teaching second semester of PGSD students :)

May 9th,2012

today i did my teaching activities as a final test. i taught about listening skill. Actually i had prepared well but there was a problem with my handout. i printed the materials 15 minutes before the class. unfortunately, i copied the wrong file so i had to go back to my boarding house and take the right one. thus, i came late. because i was so tired today, and i was sure my friends too, i taught too slow so my friends were getting sleepy. Mr prast said that i had to attract students' attention. overall, i did it well and it was better than the previous one. :)

May 2nd, 2012

today the final test is began. Three of my friends did it very well. even they have a lot of assignments but they can do it very well.
last Friday i was teaching in second semester students of PGSD. the lecture said that i did it very well but she thought that we need to practice it once more. thus, we have to teach again next week. actually i feel so upset because of it but we could not do anything. we just need to prepare better.

April 25th, 2012

i'm sure my friends and i learn so much from this micro teaching class. even we made so many mistakes in the first time, we showed our improvement then. as i saw, my friends became much more better than before. thus, i have to be more enthusiastic in improving my teaching skill. :D
last Friday, my friends did their teaching for PGSD students quite well. they got some comments from the Bahasa Inggris lecture. then, i could learn from the comments and do not do what they did. :)

April 18th, 2012

i was relief because i had done my mid-test even it was not good enough. however, I tried to learn from what my friends did in their teaching activities. i learned about how to make a good handout, materials and lesson plan. then, i also learned about how to attract students attention or how to manage the class room especially in teaching speaking. those performances from my friends give me a lot of knowledge of teaching.
last week, two of my friends and i observed the second semester of PGSD students. this Friday, we are going to do our first teaching. It will be started from two of my friends and next week will be my turn.

April 11th, 2012

I've done my mid-test quite well. i taught speaking for class X students in second semester. Actually, i ain't satisfied with my performance, even i had good set induction. There were some parts that forgotten to be explained. thus, i just spent about 20 minutes for teaching which should be 30 minutes. Then, because i was so regretful about that i forgot to give conclusion of the lesson. overall, i learned so much about how to teach well. I have to prepare and practice more before teaching. :)

the mid-test class teaching

we have begun our mid test on April 3rd, 2012. overall, my friends did the class teaching activities very well. they gave me so many things to be concerned when we were teaching. on April 11,2012 i will do my teaching class. i hope i can do it as good as my friends did. thus, i will prepare everything well such as lesson plan, materials, and handouts. preparing the materials well before teaching is very needed to get a good performance in teaching.I think by doing a good performance, students will learn well too.

march 28, 2012

from this meeting i learned about what should do or what shouldn't do while we were teaching. for example, teacher shouldn't point the students by using her/his finger but use their back hand. then, while teaching we should avoid 'do you understand' question because it was showed that we were thinking while asking that question. there were so many things that i learned from this meeting, hope i can do it in my teaching activities.

my 1st class teaching

in my first class teaching, i taught procedure text and used speaking skill. my friends said that i did my set induction and set closure well. however, i still did some mistakes like ignoring other students or only focus on one students, giving unclear instruction etc. from those comments i learned so much, so i'll never do the same mistakes for my next class teaching activities.

reflection

In the last meeting i found some mistakes that was usually made by one of us. They were classroom management, grammatical mistakes, and miss pronunciation. It happened unconsciously. Then,i also learned that we shouldn't bring something while teaching because when we were nervous the students can detect it. after that, we should not reading our handout while teaching. it would be better if we learned about he material a day before teaching.

March 7th, 2012

in the previous meeting i learned about how to manage a class. as Erika and Christine did, They could control the class well. They attracted their students very good, so we as students paid our more attention to their lesson. then i also learned about the way in speaking. when we were teaching, we had to have clear, loud and good pronunciation. besides, we also need to have media to attract students attention, especially when described something.

February 29th, 2012

In the previous micro teaching class, I was chosen by my friends to be the first ‘victim’ of pretending to be a teacher of senior high school students. Actually, I didn’t have any preparation to teach in front of them in that time. Then, I decided to take that chance and force myself to teach them. Firstly, I came to the class and greeted the students. After that, I started the lesson by telling a story which was related to the topic that I’m going to teach. Next, I asked one of my students to come in front of the class and tell about his experience. After finishing his story I ask him to back to his seat and tell the students about the main topic of that day’s lesson. Because of my unprepared lesson, I was getting too nervous and confuse about what I was talking about. Suddenly, Mr.Prast said that I only had 5 more minutes to finish my teaching activities. Then, because I didn’t know what I had to do, I asked my students to sing ‘balonku ada lima’. It sounds awkward, I know, but I was nervous and unprepared at that time. Next, it was time to get some comments from 3 of my friends who pretended to be students. They said that I opened the class well, cheerful, and enthusiastic, but then they said that it was too much because I should be more serious in teaching. They also said that I’ve to be wise in teaching, act like what a teacher should be. After that, they thought that my song wasn’t related to the topic that I taught. Honestly, I realize about those mistakes and I thank to my friends who gave me comments. I hope I’ll be better and prepared well in the next ‘pretending to be a teacher’ activities.

pretending to be a teacher :p

In the second meeting of micro teaching class, I learned about what we have to do when we are going to teach. We need to prepare set introduction & set closure skills, explaining & stimulus-variation skills, questioning skills, and reinforcement skills. Then, in set introduction skills we have greetings, introducing materials, referring to the previous materials, and informing the students about today’s lesson objectives. Next, for set closure skills we have summarizing, giving assignments/homework, informing the next lesson (relating today’s lesson with the next one), closing, concluding remarks and don’t forget to say thank you. In the next day, we practiced as teacher. We taught one of our friends, and then he/she will give me some comments about the way I taught. I think it was a nice and also challenging class. So far, I’m starting to love teaching. :D

my first micro teaching class

It's my first time attending micro teaching class. Honestly, i thought micro teaching was such a horrible class because it had bad rumor based on my seniors' stories. however, it wasn't that bad. during the class i really enjoyed the lesson. Besides, my lecturer,Mr.Pras, taught the lesson very well in a funny way. Here, we talked about characteristics of being a good teacher, they were discipline, master the subject, appreciate/respect his/her students, be patient, be friendly, be attractive, be aware of students' needs, be creative/motivating, be honest, be objective, be open-minded, and be responsible. those all encourage me to be a good teacher next time. overall, micro teaching class is funny and also challenging. there will be so many things that we can get and learn by studying micro teaching. that we have to is just enjoy the class, no stressful and no pain while studying it. hope i can do my best in micro teaching and get the best then. amin :D
