Reflection 15 -- Final Reflection



In this semester, I learn many things about teaching, it includes of how to manage the class, how to deliver the material, how to choose good techniques and medias in teaching. Micro Teaching class is very helpful for me since it gives more practices. I have two opportunities to teach my friends in front of the class. First, I have to teach Junior High School students, in last, I gave the material for Vocational School students. All of them have different characteristics and difficulties. Especially in the second chance, since I never experience to be a student of Vocational School, I do not have the previous experience how to teach the material. What can I do is ask my lecture, Mr. Prast and my friends who are graduated from Vocational School. And it is really helpful for me because they give me help a lot.
I learn many things from my lecture and my friends. When I perform in front of the class, there are two of my friends who become observers, and they give me a lot of suggestion about my performance. The most things that I should learn more is strategies on how to manage the class well because from my two performances, I cannot handle the class successfully. The students are very noise; they are busy with themselves and their friends. Sometimes, I can handle them to listen my explanation. But, sometimes they do not pay attention to me. And I still learn about it. From the two recordings of my teaching, I can see that I have less point in managing the class. Second is, my voice is too soft to be heard by students so many of them do not hear what I’ve said. I realize about that. It is very important thing to speak louder in front of the class.
I also experienced one more thing to improve my skill in teaching. I teach students of History Education of second semester. Since their focus is history, even though they learn English, the material should have relation with history. Afri, Ina and me should decide material by ourselves and we consult it with the lecture, Miss Novi. We also get many things from her. We teach around 35 students. Yes, we experience the real condition to be a teacher in front of class and we have to apply all of the things that we got from Micro Teaching class. It is not easy. Handle the students are needed more practices. In last, what I have got from Micro Teaching class is very useful. I hope I can learn well from my experiences so I can do my PPL well.^^
