Microteaching-Part 1

Today we get the real micro teaching class!! Yes, it is the first day of presentation. We have to teach our friends alternately with the material which has been prepared before, there is three students who have to teach in front of class per meeting and today the turns is for Wahyu, Windhi and Rini. Here I will share about the appearance about the 3 sweet girls \^^/

The first turns was Wahyu Rochmawati, she taught about the civic education about the rules in surrounding environment (school and community). She taught clear enough, but if she could use some props, it wiuld be better, because as elementary school’s students we need the real thing to understand the lesson. Maybe she could bring or show some school rules, but her idea to show some pictures about rules in surrounding environment could be recommended as a good teaching media. When she was teaching, she had activated the class by make student in some groups and gave the worksheets, she also ask about many thing to make the class became more active in responding the material, she had applied the asking skill in teaching, but it would be better if she motivated the students with “good answer”, “good idea”, “great” or if the student could answer the question with true answer, she could motivated by “yes, good answer!! could you repeat it once again?”. If you could motivated the students like that, it will be great ^^

The second turns was Windhi, she taught about the relationship between the day, week, month, year, and century. She had taught clearly and she had used a calender as the props in explaining the materials. It was a great idea, but the calender was very small to be looked the entire of students in the classroom, may be you could copy it in a sheet of paper to all of the students in the class, so each of students could look and observe it. You also could divide your class into some groups and gave them a worksheet, so you could know how far your students have understood about your material. If you just asked some of students, just the active students who would understand about the material, not all of the students, right ^^

The third turns is Rini, she taught about commutative operation, she taught clearly and had involved the students in filling the worksheets in a group, but she used no props in teaching and the teaching media was limited, and she also often focuses on a white board. It would be better if you were not focused on the white board, you had a good confidence and loud voice which very important in teaching skill, it will be great and better if you could improve all of them :)

So, when we teach we have to prepare our material well, prepare the props and worksheets to explaining and measure the students’ understanding, and also asking skills to activate the class. But overall they have perform their best, and may be I can not as good as you in teaching. Keep on smiling, ties :)
