Teaching Practice

My practice teaching days were filled with so much Joy! The day I started to practice teaching at Supang National High School. Five sections in a day was a big challenge as a newcomer there.

As I planned on my lesson log, I started the class by engaging the students about the previous materials that they had learned. I divided them into five groups and made them take a paper that contained different kinds of animals. After they got their animal representation, we played a game called Quiz Bee. The rule was, that whenever I (as the teacher) delivered the question, each group needed to sound their animal's sound in order to answer the question. The process of engaging like this made the students excited because they could express different sounds and build their competition to show their knowledge in front of their classmates.

The main activity continued and I began to give them a paper containing a picture of  'The Smoker's body' to each group. After they got the paper, they discussed the diseases that could infect a smoker. Not all the diseases in the paper were discussed by them because I divided the diseases they need to discuss a maximum of four diseases, so they will deliver different diseases later in front of the class.

The discussion time was out, and I started to call each representative member to the front of the class in order to tell their friends what diseases they had been discussing. I found some students were already able to explain the topic easily, but for some students that still hard to deliver it, as a teacher I was trying to help them by giving them some clue questions so they could elaborate and tell their friends about what kind of diseases they learned with their teammates.

My teaching session on the first day ended with telling them the materials they needed to bring on the next day because they will make a poster or slogan in order to prevent the diseases of respiratory and circulatory systems.

The practice teaching that I did at Buenavista National High School is a bit different compared to the Supang one. I can assume it was because, in Buenavista, the sessions that I faced were really different. They had special science and regular classes.

In the regular class, the students were really active, energetic, and more into jokes (just like me :)). In special science, they were more arranged, cooperative, and super curious by digging into the materials so deeply by asking various questions related to the topic.

Two days of practice teaching at Buenavista National High School were going smoothly because of the presentation that I made with the help of my cooperating teacher. I even got the chance to be closer to the students by playing fun games in the middle of the learning process. I found that playing games with the kids, can relax their minds and bodies so they can continue to join the classes the whole day.

Despite the distance between Indonesia and the Philippines, we managed to travel there safe and sound. We had to take two flights to get there, one from Indonesia to Manila and the other from Manila to Iloilo. We used a fiber boat to cross the Iloilo river on our way to Guimaras Province, specifically the town of Buenavista, and land transportation going to Guimaras State University. It was indeed a complete travel. Our first arrival at Buenavista, Guimaras with Dr. Joel Japitana, the Director of International Linkages, Guimaras State University My purpose in joining the Seateacher is to observe, practice, and learn about education outside my country, and it's complete now. Not only about the education, I also got the chance to learn about the culture and environment and got to know the people closely. Besides that, I got new stories, new memories, and new families. The essence of joining the Seateacher Programme is full of experiences. The practice teaching that I did at both scho...

Teaching Plan

The curriculum that is applied in Supang and Buenavista National High School is called Kto12 (Kindergarten to grade 12). This curriculum is made by the Department of Education in the Philippines. The materials that are delivered to the student have been determined by the curriculum itself. So, therefore, I believe that the best choice to learn, practice, and deliver the materials there is by following the Kto12 curriculum. I made the teaching plan based on the teaching plan that was given to me. I look at my CT's teaching plan as an example. The teaching plan, it was divided into six parts; Objectives, Content, Learning Resources, Procedures, Remarks, and Reflection. Basically, the lesson plan that I found from my Cooperating Teacher in Guimaras is not that different compared to the plan that I learned in Indonesia. They have objectives,  content, resources, methods, procedures, and reflection. One part that I would like to highlight here is the procedure, the procedure in the Indo...

 A. Supang National High School The school started as Buenavista National High School Extension with only 5 teachers but last 2007, through the effort of their municipal mayor it became Supang National High School. Located in Supang, Buenavista, Guimaras, Philippines. Now, it has more than a thousand students divided from grade seven to grade twelve. Me and the kids playing badminton in Supang NHS Supang National High School got full academic support from the Department of Education-Guimaras and the local government unit. They provide technical assistance per school. It is a team of supervisors who are in charge of giving assistance and monitoring of the school. The teacher told me that at first, they were struggling during the implementation of Kto12 (The curriculum there), because before they only had four years in high school, but pieces of training and seminars helped them become more equipped to embrace the Kto12 system up to now. They do have the curriculum guide for eac...
