OBSERVATION ON TEACHER

Based on the observation during the 1st week of the program:

 Planning for teaching

       Planning is the best antidote for the nerves that many people feel when teaching a subject for the first time or meeting a new group of students. It is also the only way to ensure that your educational objectives are achieved. Planning begins with thinking about how you would like your students to approach their learning in your subject, and what you would like them to understand, know or be able to do by the end of the session. Whether you are planning a subject for the first time, or reviewing an existing subject it is important to consider the effects of your teaching and assessment on students' learning. The teacher have choose teaching method, make lesson plan before teaching

Preparing lessons and materials

All of the teacher in the Elementary School planed the lesson well. Some of them used manila paper, cartolina and also the other media to make instructional material, so that they can transfer the knowledge easily. They also decorate the Instuctional Material to make Students interest with their lessons. Beside that, the teacher used their laptop to present some pictures, asked the Students to guess it, and also used the speaker to sing.

Teaching in class

The teacher taught like the lesson plan, and teacher can manage class and time. Based on the observation, the teacher in Elementary School should be patient to handle their Students. They must do their best to treat the Students and also decrease the bad feeling to Student, like getting angry or shout to Student. When there was a Student don’t pay attention to the class, the teacher will stop a while and they treat the Student kindly without getting angry. The teacher often ask Student to answer their question, so all of the Students can answer the question one by one, not only for special Students. The teacher have some methods for their class like cooperative, inductive, experiment, and etc depended on their topic.

Before the teacher explain the final answer or information, they always let the Students to think, doing activity, etc. Those are the process to inform the Student about the topic, so they can learn fun and know the process to get final answer. That way is so suitable for Student growth, because they are still young and like to do many activities.

Based on the observation, we know that the Student teacher and the teacher work hard. They make Instructional materials every day and started their lesson at 07.30 am then finished at 04.30 pm. Before the Students entered the class, they always pray and greet all of teacher.
