Teaching Practice

Teaching Practice

I practiced my teaching practice in 1 strand from the 4 strands that there are in Far Eastern University High School that is Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM). I carried out my teaching practice in 6 classes that are STEM 1, STEM 2, STEM 3, STEM 4, STEM 5 and STEM 6. The subject is General Chemistry 1. My Cooperating Teacher is Mr. John Carlo O. Macuja.

1.      Procedures of Teaching

Procedures of teaching in the classroom, started by the preparation before enter the classroom and conduct the teaching practice. First, I write my teaching plan in a lesson plan than consult it with my cooperating teacher, after it is checked by my cooperating teacher, then I carried out my teaching practice. According to my lesson plan, there are three activities during the learning process that are opening activity which includes greeting, pray, apperception and motivation activity. For the main activity its includes discuss about the lessons and for closing activity its includes evaluation, summarize and conclusion

2.      Time Management and Organizing Activities

For the time management, in 1 section of the learning process there are 75 minutes to carried out the learning process. 3 activities of the learning process are divided in:

1.      5 minutes for the opening activity

2.      60 minutes for the main activity

3.      10 minutes for the closing activity

Activities are organized based on the lesson plan

2.      Opening Activity

a.       Greetings, and pray together

b.      Apperception, by reviewing students knowledge about the lessons or material that they learned on last week

c.       Motivation, teacher motivating the curiosity of the student.

d.      Show the learning objectives to students.

3.      Main Activity, delivered all the learning materials and lessons.

4.      Closing Activity

a.       Summarize the whole lesson

c.       Student solve the problems

d.      Give the conclusion of the material that they have learned as the reinforcement

e.       Give information about the material for the next meeting.

f.       Pray before the learning end.

3.      Problem-Solving

In the learning process, sometimes teacher gives students problems to solve by their selves, in order that teacher can know the extent to which students have mastered the materials. If the students have problems in the learning process, such as if the student hasn’t understand, teacher solves the problems by give them more example which is related to the materials. Students often ask questions or statements when they find a problems, and teacher solves it by give students more explanation.

4.      Classroom Management

Classroom management along my teaching practice are, in the learning process I used some method which can make students be actively involved in the learning process in order that I can manage the class well. Learning methods that I use are lecture method, question and answer method, discussion method and demonstration method. After the materials of the lesson are delivered, sometimes I give students a question which can make them actively during the learning process, so that the classroom will manage well, for discussion method also can make student actively in the class, they can discuss with their friend to share about the lessons. For demonstration method students can directly see and focus on the phenomenon of the materials that they learn in order that it can be easily to understand, and also student can be more interested in the learning process.

5.      Others

Time management, during my teaching practice, time management is also become one of the important things in this teaching practicum, teacher should manage the time well in order that the lessons will be finished at the right time. Teacher must estimate the time of each activity which carried out in the classroom, so that the material can delivered well and finished at the proper time.
