Reflection on Practice Teaching 1_round 5 & 6

Round five and six were held in practice teaching 1. As usual in one round there are three teachers who will teach in front of the class. In round five, there were Mila, Hening, and Anggi. The three teachers taught about narrative based on the schedule. From the three teachers I got some important things which gave me some tricks before I teach later on. Conducting discussion in class was a good idea to help students’ understanding. The three teachers have done with this method. Moreover, the teachers asked the students to work in a group to answer some exercises which are given by the teachers. I think the method which was used by those teachers was really helpful, because the students would not solve or answer by themselves. However, I found unusual situation that when Hening taught and explained the materials, I saw that he less serious in teaching. Moreover, when there was a student who asked a question to him, in fact he asked back to the students. Sometimes, he explained using Javanese to the students; it made the situation in the class uncontrollable. That’s why I less serious when he teaching.

Meanwhile, in round six there were three teachers also who have taught in front of the class. They were Rere, Yosi, and Rian. Those three teachers delivered different the materials. Rere presented narrative text, while Yosi and Rian presented about giving instruction. The three teachers also gave some importance things to me. The teachers also conducted discussion in a group to help students’ understanding. They also gave real example from the daily life, so that the students would understand easily. Sometimes, the students cleverer than the teacher in discussing exercise. It happened in Yosi’s teaching. When she invited the students to answer the exercise, she gave the wrong answer to the students. As a result, the students interrupted her. That’s why it gave me an importance point. I should recheck the materials that will I give to the students, handout, or the correct answer to the students.
