SUMMARY AND SUGGESTION

Student teachers summarize what you had done during your practicum according to topics as follows:

Purposes of practicum

The main objective of the teaching practicum is to provide student teachers with authentic hands-on experience in teaching. This is required to develop their teaching skills and to start collecting experiences to enrich their professional wisdom.   It is not enough to read about teaching or to observe others teach, something students have done for years. Student teachers have to practice themselves because practical knowledge and wisdom are held by the individual and cannot easily be transmitted from person to person. Student teachers need know-how, and by connecting the skills of teaching to knowledge, through reflection, they will gradually start developing practical wisdom.

                                                                                                 

Procedures of practicum

First procedure, teacher must to know what the topics to teach, and choose teaching strategies. Teacher make lesson plan and prepare lessons and materials, and then teacher teaching manage class, after teaching, evaluation with supervising instructor.

Outcomes of practicum

The teacher becomes more trained in teaching, or create the right lesson plan, know the appropriate teaching methods used, can manage the class, manage time. There are outcomes of practicum:

1.      Based on the observation, we know the differences between education system in Indonesia and Philippine.

2.      Based on the observation, we can learn many things from this project so we can develop our education system in Indonesia.

3.      The Student teacher can integrate and colaborate the education system between two country to be better education system for the future.

The challenges of practicum

The challenges of teaching this time is how to explain the lessons in English, then how to control the class when the students are noisy, how to manage time. The biggest challenge of our practicum is about the number of Students. I think, There are too many Students in one class, that is handled by one teacher only. Sometimes, they are too noisy and I can’t handle them easily because we need to speak louder and focused them too. But, all of the Students in grade four can speak English well and it make our communication go in a good manner.

 Overall impression

Understand exactly what kind of teacher, understand how important teaching method, the importance of managing class and time. Lack when teaching. It was very great experience to teach the Students from the Philippines. I thought that they are very interested with us because it is new appearance to be taught by foreign teacher. Students in this Elementary School are very kind, clever, and well-understanding to the lesson.

 Suggestions for future improvement

Hope the teacher improve again English skills, continues practice to be a good teacher, can manage the class, manage the time and used various teaching methods and correctly.
