E-reflection for PETA ; School experience week 2

This is my reflection for school experience 2. On this week I did the team teaching with my partner. There are so many interesting things in the school experience. Actually I taught the students lonely. So, my partner only acompany me in the class but not taught the students. As I said before that I used group interaction model in my class, and it worked. But actually when I observed my friend class, it didn't work. Most of the students didn't work in group, they just chated with her friends. Based on this case, I know there is no the best model of instruction, it is depend on the studens' characeristic. If you use group interaction but your students doesn't like work in group, so they will not join in the group.

On this week I always taught and observed the students in grades 12 both in social and science class. I found that there are some differences between social and science class. Actually we know that science class is more polite and pay attention with the teacher. While in the social class was very difficult to teach them because most of them can not pay attention with the teacher. If we want to teach the social class and creat the condusive situation we have to grab their attention by some interesting techniques. That is the real situation that I found in the school experience. In addition, if we talking about the students' ability in english, the social class is better than the science class in 82 Senior High School. It is showed based on the score in the listening and reading test, also based on the ability to speak english. In the social class most of the students spook in english but in the science class most of them spook in bahasa.

After I observed my class I interviewed my master teacher about the teaching techniques and the models of instruction he used in the class. Based on his explanation I got so many references to teach my students. My master teacher used some model of instruction, like lecture discussion and direct instruction. But if the group interaction he reraly used it. My master tecacher said that he always flexible in the class. But he only focus in peaking and listening. So, he always pushed his students to speak english.

Based on the knowledge that my master teaher gave to me, I know that the important things in the teaching process are we have to give our students the attractive material, prepare the teaching tools, and mastering the material. If we have those things, we can sucess in teahing process. He also told me how to grab the student's attention. And now, in my opinion so difficult to grab the students attention. We have to think creatively to creat the attractive way to make our students pay attention, even make my voice be louder is one of the way to grab the students' attention.

I very proud with the school experience programe, because I got so many experience and knowledge to be a teacher.
