VI.Summary and Suggestion

VI. Summary and Suggestion

6.1 Purpose of Practicum

-          To enable the practicum student teachers to develop teaching skills and pedagogy.

-          To encourage the practicum student teachers to practice English skils.

-          To allow the practicum student teachers to gain a broader regional and world wide view.

-          To compare the similarities and differences of educational system in other country.

6.2  Procedures of Practicum

The procedure during practicum includes class observation, team teaching, teaching practice, and evaluation and reflection. The class observation held on the first week, after observation the student’s teacher have to write a reproduced lesson plan for every meeting. The team teaching held on the second week, in this period the student’s teacher together with the cooperating teacher should have a cooperate teaching. In this case, the student’s teacher should handle the laboratory activity, including handled the pre-lab and main activity, and the the cooperating teacher handled the post-lab. For the teaching practice, held on third week. The student’s teacher should make Five lesson plan with different topics and should teaching in whole days before the reflection by the supervisor. The supervisor observed two times with different topics. The fourth week the supervisor gave the evaluation for the student’s teacher performance.

6.3 Outcomes of Practicum

-          Self Report.

6.4 The Challenges of Practicum

The challenges that happen in BCNHS is in the class management, with 50 students in each class, the SEA Teacher have to make a louder voice, a bigger handwriting in the board, call the different students for recitation, manage their noisy voice, and also prevent them to cheating with the others, it because of the number of the students in every class. For personally, it’s hard to adapt in the different culture and education system in case in Phlippines because that is really difference with Indonesia’s system.

6.5 Overall Impression

SEAMEO SEA Teacher is good program that give us good experience. As a SEA Teacher student teacher really make me thought that to be a teacher is not easy. For the first after knowing I was selected for this program, I felt so nervous because I realized that my student in Philippine used English as second language. It means that they common used english in their real life. It is really different for me, my country use English as Foreign Language. Then this program is  precious moments for me cause I must teach chemistry using english. In this program by learning I am teaching and  by teaching I am learning. Give an education to others make me feel that I havo keep being a learner for the rest of my life. I wish I will be the one who to become the future educators of future generations. For other impression, in making a lesson plan, we have to present the values and application of the lesson for each meeting. It can make a good lesson for students that everything that learns is related to their real life. Also, the students showed the respect to a SEA Teacher student teacher, respect with greeting, listen when the SEA Teacher teaching as like the real teacher, friendly, and many other things.

Finally, this is the best way that God gave to me and I am not regretting anything here. I am really grateful to be here as an exchange students. I have learned a lot of things that made me more mature, especially open my mind wider. Since I stay in Philippines for one month, I have already know more about myself, how my strengths and my weakness, and how does it feel when we out of the comfort zone. I have fight and learned hard to get a best scores and experiences, I am so grateful that God gave me the best result and I always believe that the fight, effort, and patience will gain the best result.

6.6 Suggestion for Future Improvement

The most important in this program is as the exchange students we should respect all kind of culture, education system, and the way people communicate there. For the suggestion the SEA Teacher students teacher can implemented all the positively teaching experiences from other country including how to be a good teacher, how to manage the class, how to make a best quality lesson plan, and many other things. Can compare of both countries about the system of education and get the positive thing that can implemented in sending country and also can improve the English skills and pedagogy.

V. Teaching Practice

V. Teaching Practice

5.1  Procedures of Teaching

 In Baguio City National High School the procedure of teaching is must be adjust from the lesson plan that has been made. Include the approach, method, and model. We also must follow the activity, motivation, and mechanism that have been stated on the lesson plan. Because lesson plan is our guidance in teaching the lesson.

5.2  Time Management, Organizing Activities and Classroom Management

One subject need one hour for each meeting. Teacher allocates time well so that all learning procedures are realized. Teacher organized the activities so well. Use interactive way to make all the students pay attention and also let them share the opinion about the lesson that teach by the teachers. The teachers manage the class by asking questions every time. To make the student also understand from their own perspective.

5.3  Problem-solving

In problem solving, teacher use inquiry or discovery based learning in the task. Teacher as a facilitator to guide the students to solve the problem, think critically, and related the lesson to the real conditions.

5.4 Classroom Management

In controlling the class, I always try to be their friends. When the students do their task on learning, I always asking with the students to make sure that they are doing a learning activities. Sometimes the students ask me if they had a problem and of course I go around the class to make sure all of them understand about the material on learning.  Maam Rowena L.Esteron  said to me that I am good  enough in teaching them, but still has mistakes  such like the term of chemistry and pronunciation. The way Filipino speak English is quite different with common people because they use Spain dialect.

IV. Observation on Teacher

IV. Observation on Teacher

4.1  Planning for Teaching

Baguio City National High School is big school that have Chemistry as one of the subject program in BCNHS. My Cooperating Teacher is Mrs. Rowena L. Esteron  that teacher there almost  5 years. She asked me to observe her class. Then i come with her. She introduced me to the students and gave me time with them to know more about each other.

4.2  Preparing Lessons and Materials

Teacher Rowena  arranged  her lesson plans and materials by herself, referring to the lesson plan that used by BCNHS. She always prepare the stuffs before teaching, and she brings that things into the class. When I observed her class, she brings manila paper that have prepared before the class, with the scissors and glues. So the students will be more interesting and excited while learning with Ma’am Rowena.

4.3  Teaching in Class

     When I observed Teacher  Rowena’s class, she taught about “Respiratory in Human”.  She used manila paper and LCD while teaching. First, she greets the students and begin the lesson with Do Now activity. She asked students about their activities before going to school. Then, she continue with the second step, Purpose. She tells the students about the purpose of this lesson. So she explain about the Respiratory in Human and  read  together the text that she prepared on LCD also in paper.

     The third step is Work Mode. She gave worksheets to the students and wait for them to finish it. She always looking around to make sure that the students do their worksheet. The last step is Reflective. So she recall the lesson that has been taught and make sure students can understand about Respiratory in Human.

4.4  Measurement and Evaluation

    Teacher  Rowena L.Esteron  using worksheets and and  homework for evaluation.

3.1 Curriculum

Education in Philippines uses K to 12 Curriculum. The K to 12 basic education curriculum consist of Kindergarten, Elementary for grade 1-6, Junior High School for grade 7-10, and Senior High School for grade 11-12. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

Students acquire in-depth knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through continuity and consistency across all levels and subjects. Discussions on issues such as Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation, and Information & Communication Technology (ICT) are included in the enhanced curriculum. Subjects are taught from the simplest concepts to more complicated concepts through grade levels in spiral progression.

Secondary education consists of four levels largely based on the American schooling system. DepEd (Department of Education) specifies a compulsory curriculum for all secondary schools, public and private. Secondary education known as Paaralang Sekundarya comprises 4 grades that have changed little since the second world war. The curriculum is prescribed for both private and state schools. Core subjects are as follows:

• Year 1 - Filipino 1, Algebra 1, Integrated Science, English 1, Phillipine History
• Year 2 - Filipino 2, Algebra 2, Biology, English 2, Asian History
• Year 3 - Filipino 3, Geometry, Chemistry, World History, Geography
• Year 4 - Filipino 4, Calculus, Trigonometry, Physics, Literature, Economics

Minor optional subjects include Health, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Home Economics and Technology. Selected schools present additional subjects.

As a whole, the K to 12 science curriculum is learner-centered and inquiry-based, emphasizing the use of evidence in constructing explanations. Concepts and skills in Life Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Sciences are presented with increasing levels of complexity from one grade level to another in spiral progression, thus paving the way to deeper understanding of core concepts. The integration across science topics and other disciplines will lead to a meaningful understanding of concepts and its application to real-life situations.

3.2 Teaching Plan Related to Your Major

The teacher in BCNHS has to prepare lesson plan before teaching. There are two types lesson plan. They are Reproduced Lesson Plan (RLP) and Daily Lesson Plan (DLL). The lesson plan includes learning objectives, learning assessment, learning content, learning procedure and assignment. Learning objectives includes objectives from cognitive, affective and psychometric domain. Learning content includes subject matter, references, instructional material, concepts, skills, and values. Learning procedures includes preparation (review, motivation, and apperception), presentation, generalization and application. Teachers have to prepare the instructional material that needed to lesson.

This is the example of lesson plan based on teacher guideline :
