E-Reflection of PETA 2nd

E-Reflection of PETA (Principle of Effective Teaching and Assessment)

Well..,,

On this page I am going to share you all as to my second reflection of PETA (Principle of Effective Teaching and Assessment) lectured by Mrs. Ine.

Very grateful, we are as teacher candidates are given this course which aims to be teachers who will be different from Indonesian previous teachers and becoming the agent of change for future educators. Teacher will take apart in developing human’s resources very much. Teacher will grow students’ characteristic, mentality, and motivation to face the globalization in the 21^st century. To make it true, so teachers are highly recommended to have this subject to be one of the main skills which must be owned by professional teachers.

In this 2^nd session of the course, we were given the video of teaching and learning process in “Thematic Subject” for elementary school. Thematic is the new subject for the beginner grade of elementary school which focuses on integrated course. Integrated? It means that in one course, there will be some science discipline included. For example one subject can be linked to social, science, math, or even religious study. On the video, we watched the teacher taught her students this thematic subject. The teacher for me is included to the one of good teachers. She started the class by praying, and then told the objectives of this course. Telling the objectives of the course to the students is the good way of starting the class which aims to make students know what is going to study and what is going to achieve after the course.

Another good thing from her teaching was that she invited the students to the real object of the lesson. Stated on the video, that the teacher discussed about Rambutan then she went to the Rambutan tree with her students to see the real object of Rambutan. That was very good I think.

The last thing, mrs. Ine gave us the material about lesson plan and asked us to make short lesson plan. It was horrible for me because it was still strange for me. I hope next session I can understand how to make better lesson plan.

Thank you
