Interview Questions
(Technology, 2017)
Interview Questions for EPC 3403
Explain how you collaborated with other staff in activities that involve the
community during this placement.
During teaching practice, we helped the English teachers on the The Jungle
Party workshop, we organized the place with them, and on the day of the
workshop my colleague Mahra and I did the face painting to students in kg2 and
Aisha did the animals wood print with Jamila. We also involved in the traffic
safety workshop, we helped during the flag day there was an event and some
competitions for students, we did some activities related to the flag day.
Planning for Learning (including What difficulties did you face in planning seven differentiated lesson plans
Knowledge and Understanding of to ensure that they included a range of activity types for the whole class,
Content) groups, and individuals
I faced many difficulties during teaching practice, the most difficult one was
related to the English class, my class didnt have an English teacher due to
personal reasons, but they said she will return after one month. Before teaching
my first English lesson I observed an English teacher teaching the lowercase a,
so my first lesson was nearly the same as her, while teaching it was difficult to
teach English for the first time for a class that didnt have an English teacher, how
much I used simple English it was hard to explain things in a simpler way, so the
Arabic teacher and I decided that I will teach in English and if the students
couldnt understand she will explain it in Arabic. Another thing that confused me
and was a little difficult is that when I planned a science lesson about the reptiles,
Im used to practicing what I will say during the lesson, so I was practicing on the
next day and reviewing the lesson by myself & before starting the lesson my MST
changed the plan and gave me things to say and teach that got my planned
changed so I got confused, at the end I didnt like the science lesson I taught
because it was bad I was confused and the students got confused more. Planning
activities were easy since its not my first time to plan differentiated activities,
but what I didnt like is that I could do more fun activities and crafts for the
students, but due to the short time I couldnt do it so I ended up with simple
activities and worksheets.
Explain how you assessed the learning objectives/outcomes you set the
students.
I did assess students on three parts, on the circle time I would ask questions about
last day lesson to ensure that they understand the lesson, during the activities I
would set with each group and while helping them with the activities I would ask
questions and discuss with them, lastly I would assess the students during the
closing, I will review the lesson followed by related questions.
Implementing and Managing Learning Explain what you did to make sure that youre modeling / demonstration of
(including behavior management, the tasks you set your students was clear and effective.
language, and delivery) To make sure that Im modeling/demonstrating the tasks to the students in clear
and effective way, I would have the tasks shown on the television using Microsoft
words and sometimes PowerPoint to make sure that all the students are involved
and are able to see the tasks, then I would explain each task with one example
that is solved and while showing them that I would explain the steps they have to
go through. When doing the activities at the centers I would go to each group and
explain it again if they didnt know what to do.
What strategies did you apply to maintain student engagement and how
effective were they in ensuring that tasks were completed effectively?
I maintained the students by giving different types of activities, asking questions,
simple and short lesson, fun ways to learn the phonics and playing a game when
possible. Most of the students wanted to be involved by telling me what they
know, they were happy to be able to understand English after going through
different types of lessons, by the end of each lesson I taught mostly the whole
class would show me things they wrote in English, some of them would write the
letters they know, other would try writing from a to z and others would try to
write their name in English.
Explain how closely you were able to apply key principles from your own
teaching philosophy as a student teacher in this school?
I wanted to make sure that every single student is involved on my lesson, so I
would let students take turns to answer, even if they dont know the answer I
would encourage and help them. Make sure to treat the students equally, respect
students thoughts and ideas of the lesson, and encourage learning and that
learning is fun, I ensure to give each student feedback on what they said or did.
Respect students way of learning. Always ensure that I am a good model for the
students and that they will learn good things from being hopefully.
What would you say have been your particular strengths during this TP?
Which areas for development have you identified for next semester - justify
this?
My strengths were that I was more confident during this teaching practice,
cooperating with teachers and other staff, being in touch with teachers outside the
school, discussing my lessons plans with my MST, helping other teachers in a
professional way. As I said before I wanted my tasks to be more fun and some
kind of crafts activities where I can encourage students creativity.
