Two areas of strength


Instructional planning : One thing I have changed is in the area of growth on planning.

I gain a lot experiences through teaching practicum, making unit plan, lesson plans

and presentation. I understand the important steps to plan before teaching. When

teacher is planning the lesson plan, he should think of all things such as opening,

closing activity, assesment, delivery part and soon. He should have picture of all

things in mind before teaching. I have learned from my teaching experiences that

while making lesson plan you should be able to think clearly before planning. I also

experienced that even you make lesson plan they will be something lack. You realize

it after teaching. So one of my strength is that I can look back to my teaching plan and

improve it. While I was inmy teaching practicum, I made ten lesson plan. Before

teachingI thought it was really wonderful lesson plans. But later I realized that there

are so many things that I should change. Therefore I have revised my lesson plans

after teaching and changed the things that I should change.

Formative assesment: Another areas of my strength is that I have ability to engage

students in different activities. While I was in practicum I realized that I can enage

them in learning through different activities. Even though i was showing video the

students were curious to see and learn. I gave them differentkinds of assesments. My
coperating teacher also liked the activities that I gave students in the classroom. I

taught through kahoot games, different types of worksheet, acting, presenation ,

observation and soon. Students never get bored while doing assessment in classroom.

Likwise, while improving my lesson plan I have put different kinds of new assesment

that enage students in learning. For instance the topic of my lesson is about science. I

have assesment such as kahoot games, jigsaw method of learning, acting, worksheet,

laboratory, presentation, discussion, research and soon.

One area of weakness:


Opening and closing activities: While I was teaching in two weks practicum did not

have particular opening and closing activities. I went nto the classroom and started to

teach. Now also while revising lesson plans I do not have particular opening and

closing activities. I have only in few lesson plans but also not fun and interesting for

students. Usually in opening activity, I have videos to show. Then I engage student in

learning. In the closing actvity usually I let my students to continue to do their

classwork or to end with prayer. This is my weakness not to have hook that prepare

student to teach. Even though I have activity but that doesnot connected with the

subject that i teach after opening activity. Sometimes not having strong , engaging

activity in secondary level is fine. In primary level it is very important to make short

and fun opening and closing activity that enage student. I have overview as opening

activity and again review as closing activity.

Steps to improve in future: I should apply new techniques of fun opening and closing

activities. Maybe I can start with talking about God as a opening activity. I am thinking about

showing video or Bible verses that connect to the subject. It encourage student to learn better

and appreciate God more. Likewise in closing activity also can be video that help to review

the lesson. In other hand while making lesson plans, I should collaborate it with my friends.
If I show my lesson plan with my friends who have similar subject then I will know in which

part I should improve. Likewise detail information in plan lesson is required which i should

consider in future. In brief I should focus on improving in the areas of opening and closing

activity, revising, detail of information in future protfolio making.
