My Teaching Practice

Mabuhay..!

I have a surprise thing for you now, because I will share my greatest experience in teaching Filipino’s students for the first time.

Aren’t you excited to hear my story?

Okay let’s begin by Once upon a time....

Before going to teach in the class, I submitted my lesson plan to be checked and assigned by my supervising instructor. When my lesson plan is already correct, then my mentor will explain what will I do in collaboration teaching and the real teaching. We arrange the teaching step and the teacher suggests me to maake sure that I ready to teach without any books and notes in the class. I should memorize all of the subject that I am going to teach.

I greet the students to start the class and then I tell them what subject that we will study about. I ask them some questions and give them opportunity to answer my pre-question based on their knowledges. After that, I explain them the subject that I have prepared before, I give them a sample problem that solved together with the students to make an interactive learning.

I please the students to ask if they have some questions and I ask them about their understanding. If they already clear with the lesson, I give them an assignment to explore their knowledge.

1. Time Management and Organizing Activity

To teach the subject that I prepared in the lesson plan, I have to manage what
will I do in the class for 60 minutes. I organized the class activities into 4 section:

- 5 minutes to start the lesson

- 10 minutes to explore their knowledge before

- 30 minutes to explain the subject and solving a sample problem

- 15 minutes for asking questions, giving assignments, and dismiss the class.

2. Solving Problem

The main problem that I got in the class is sometimes the students are not too clear with my explanation using English, and the solution is the teacher would like to summarizes the subject that I taught before in Tagalog.

3. Classroom management

Before starting the class I ask the students to fulfill the chair at foward side, so that no one sit down in the last chair. I want to make them hear my voice clearly and they can see my written in the board. I try to write the subject in the board from the left side to the right so it will be good to see. I write in normal size so the student at back can see my writting well.

To make the student active in the class, I please some of them to answer my question in the board. I ask the students to give applause to the students who wants to come forward answering the question that I give.

Do not be bored to read my story because I have an unforgettable and funny experience here. When I ask the students “Are we clear?” or “Malinau ?” the students answered me by “Yes sir!” haha Oh My God, they called me Sir but I’m a woman. But I understand their habbit because their real teacher in General Physics was a man (Mr. Jerome G. Rosario) so that why they did not aware when saying “Yes sir” to me.

Hummm, do you feel that I forget something to share here?

Yes, I forget to share my pictures during my teaching practice but do not worry I will show it below...

Sstttt, do not feel bored to see my face! Haha
