TEACHING PRACTICE

1.1         Procedures of Teaching

Before the students teachers are allowed to teach in the elementary school, we should consult our lesson plan with our supervicor first. We used our format and also West Visayas State University format. There are some differences between Indonesian Lesson Plan and also Philippine Lesson Plan. In the Indonesian Lesson Plan, we divide the lesson obejctives becomes afective, cognitive, and also psychomotor.

The other is, in our Indonesian Lesson Plan, we put the teacher and pupils activities in the attachment of our lesson plan we called it transkrip. But, in the Philippines, we put their activities include in the lesson plan. For the students teacher that will be observed, we used the detail lesson plan. It is different with the real teacher, because they will use the semi detail lesson plan.

1.2         Time Management and Organizing Activities

In this elementary school, each lesson usually has 1 hour. For the student teacher in grade six, every day we have different lesson. Each lesson consist of 1 topic, so we can finish it in one hour. In the lesson plan, we spend 10-15 minutes for the opening and also give them the motivation. For the main activity, we have take 35-40 minutes, and for the closing we spend 10-15 minutes again. All of them depends on the topic of lesson that will be given for the pupils. Some of differences in the lesson plan are: if in the Mathematics, we should put “drill” before the motivation, in science we should put the process in our lesson plan and there are some differences in English Lesson Plan.

5.3     Problem-Solving

   Grade six is the last grade for the elementary school. The condition also different with the other grade. But, some times they are still noisy and did not focused with their lesson. As a student teacher, we should have the other methodes and also strategy to solve this problem. In my demonstration. I used the recitation log and always give them motivation such as song and also clap. For the mathematics, we have flash card for the pupils so they can answer it quickly.

The other problems are in our communication. Indonesian people not usual to use English to speak in our activities. But, in the Philippines they are usual to use English to communicate with the other people. The students teacher should be active to speak in English although we have different dialect.

1.3         Classroom management

For the classroom management, we always rearange the position of the pupil’s seat. For example when they will make groups, they will move on their own group and make a circle formation. And then, when they are noisy, we can stop for a while until the pupils pay attention back to the teacher.
