Final Reflection

Finally, Micro Teaching class was over last week. The whole processes teaching were over from practice teaching 1 until practice teaching 3. From teaching the classmates until teaching lower students. I have done to do all of them proudly. It is because of before I join micro teaching class, I was afraid and unconfident to teach in front individually even in lower students. Yet, after done the whole processes of teaching I feel that I improved a lot in this practices teaching.

After done to teach in practices teaching, I feel that I developed in this practice teaching. the development were I was confident to teach in front students whether the students were my classmates or lower students, I can attract the students’ attention by giving the method which make the students interested to join my class, I can handle the classroom environment, such as when my students did not pay attention on my explanation or my instruction. I can attract the students’ attention by giving games in the beginning of the lesson. Therefore, my students will know what they are going to learn at that time. I also can know my students’ difficulties in doing the exercise of my lesson.

Based on my developments above, I think that I had the characteristics of good teacher. At least it can motivate me to be a better teacher in the future. I think that in my practices teaching, I always look for my weaknesses to be improved in the next teaching. I also got some inspirations when my friends doing teaching in front. I observed them, which method that perhaps useful to improve my teaching in the next teaching.

In order to have the characteristics of a good teacher, I did not work by myself to be a good teacher. There are some important roles behind the success of a good teacher. My classmates in micro teaching class who always support and give suggestions to my performances in practice teaching. I think the other my classmates will think as well. I also support and give suggestions to my friends whether they will teach or in their teaching process. I support and give suggestion through write comments when I observed them. I commented on their performances, what still need improve or what work well on their performances. I think it was very useful to improve the method of teaching. It is also useful for me when my friends gave me comment and suggestions on my performances in order to be a good teacher.

When I gave comments or suggestion to my friends, I help them honestly and sincerely. It happened because I think we learn together to be a good teacher. Therefore, a build comment and good suggestion will help my friends and me to be a good teacher in the future.  I was very happy when my friends or my lecturer gave me a build comments on my performances. It because of those comments and suggestions motivate me to improve my teaching method. Hopefully, it will help to bring me to be a good teacher.

After all done the whole processes of micro teaching, I have developed and improved my method in teaching and learning activities. I tried hard to look for the materials which suitable and appropriate to the students. I also can attract the students’ attention by giving games in the beginning of the lesson in order to warm up their brain before join the lesson. I think I deserve to get “A” for the final grade of my micro teaching class. The hardly effort have already done and I have already given the best method and performances in every performance. Comments and suggestions are always welcome to be a better teacher in the future. thank you for everyone who have helped me in practice teaching processes. 

Reflection on Practice Teaching 2_round 6 & 7

The last week of final practice teaching 2 was over. There were two rounds which got the last turn in practice teaching 2. In round six we had three teachers who taught in the class. They were Dhimas, Beni, and Nimas. Dhimas was taught about listening for vocational school. Beni was taught about writing for vocational school, and Nimas was taught about reading for vacational school too. From those three teachers I got some important points. They were the methods which were used by those teachers were understandable. Yet, I saw that when Beni taught in the class and he asked the students to do the assignments, some of the students did not want to do the assignment. I thought that Beni should have a strategy if the students behave like this. Beni had authority to remind the students to do the assignment.

The last round was had four teachers who taught in the class. Since the two teacher, Cahyo and J.B. were absent in the day of their teaching. Therefore, in the last teaching there were four teachers, Mila, Detta, Cahyo, and J.B. Mila was taught about reading for vocational school. Detta was taught about writing for vocational school. Cahyo was taught about speking for vocational school, and J.B. was taught about speaking for vocational school too. From the four teachers, I saw that three of four teachers have improved the way the teachers teach. Yet, I saw one of them done the final teaching less satisfied. When J.B. taught in front of class, my friends and I did not know the topic that he wanted to discuss. From the beginning of their teaching, I could not catch what he was teaching in front. Since it happened, the time which is gave to him only 15 minutes. My friends and I were confused about that. Therefore, from this condition I got a point that before I teach in a class, I should think and consider which materials that I will take and discuss based on the topic, and also I have to consider the materials should be understandable and appropriately to the students. 

Reflection on Practice Teaching 2_round 5

In round five of practice teaching 2, as usual we had three teachers who taught in front of the class. They were Hening, Rian, and Bayu. Hening was taught about speaking for junior high. Rian was taught about speaking for junior high, and Bayu was taught about writing for junior high. The three teachers gave interesting and funny method when teaching in front of the class. Since Hening is a student of 2007, I thought that he was very mastered and fluent when he tried to explain and gave instructions to the students. Yet, sometimes he used Javanese to explain the materials. Therefore, I thought that it was impolite using in classroom. Moreover, he was unconfident to teach in the class, since he often not really serious being a teacher at that time.

Rian was also a student from 2007. I thought that he also had more experience in teaching rather than me. That’s why when he taught in the class, he was confident enough to tech and mastered the materials. It was different from Bayu, I thought that the way he taught was too boring. He could not see the students’ condition, whether the students pay attention to him or not. Moreover, the activity was less attracting the students’ attention. Therefore, I as one of the students did not pay attention to the lesson. 

Reflection on Practice Teaching 2_round 3 & 4

Round four and five have done in this practice teaching 2. In round four, the teachers were Siwi, J. B. and me. Unfortunately, J.B was absent at that time, so there were two teacher who taught in front of class. Siwi has taught about speaking for vocational school, and I have taught about reading for vocational school. When I taught reading for vocational school, I was confused about what materials which were used to teach. I thought that I had to focus on certain topic that related to certain major. I asked my friends to give suggestion what the materials which suitable for my topic about simple instruction. My friends gave me a lot of suggestions to me. Therefore, I decided to take sample instructions for cooking class. In order to get the materials, I searched in the internet what materials that suitable for my topic. I got the materials about how to operate the microwave oven.

In the day of my teaching, I felt that I did sure enough to teach in the final test. I thought that I was not as confident as in the practice teaching 1. However, I had to do it, whether I was ready or not. I taught reading to the students. In the middle of my teaching, I thought that I let it flow according to my plan. Fortunately, the students enjoy my lesson and I can attract their attention by giving them chocolate as a gift. The students were welcome me nicely.

Meanwhile, in round four we had three teachers also to teach in front of class. They were Selly, Yosi, and Diah. Selly was taught about reading descriptive text for vocational school. Yosi was taught about writing descriptive text for vocational school. The last was Diah who taught about listening for junior high. From the three teachers I got some important points that I knew materials which suitable for vocational school in certain majors from those three teachers, I knew the method which suitable for that. I could learn more from those teachers who gave some inspirations if I had to teach vocational school later on.
