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
