5. Summary and Suggestion

5.1 Purpose of Practicum

The main purpose of ths teaching practice is to find new experiences. The goals I want to get from this teaching practice are:
1. To find out the education system that exist abroad especially in Philippines.
2. To find out the learning proccess in The Philippines.
3. To find out the characteristics of students in elementary school in Philippines.
4. To develop my teaching skill and pedagogy.
5. To encourage my english skill.
6. To find out the culture in the Philippines and the habits of the people there.

5.2 Procedure of Practicum

In the implementation of this practicum there are four steps that must be passed by the student teacher, among them are Orientation and class observation, teaching assintant, teaching in classroom, reflection and lesson learned.
  • Orientation and Class Observation 
In this stage, the student teacher is introduced first with the parts that are in the school like the facilities in the school, the rooms in the school and the staff in the school. After that in the first week, the student teacher was required to observe the class set by the academic staff in the school.
  • Teaching Assistant 
In this stage (second week), the student teacher was asked to help whatever the coordinator teacher needed and discuss the material which will be discussed in the next week. And then, while helping the coordinator teacher at that time we can also consult the lesson plan that we have made for teaching materials in the next week.
  • Teaching in The Classroom
This third week is my time to execute the class. Based on preparations in the previous week, the teaching and learning process in this week can run well. Whatever this meal has prepared is the time to practice teaching in front of students.
  • Reflection and Lesson Learned
In the last week, the fourth week the student teacher evaluated the overall performance that had been done in the previous week. And the student teacher discusses with the teacher coordinator about the lesson learned.

5.3 Outcomes of Practicum

The results obtained from this teaching practice is that I can improve my teaching skills. The second is that I can find out how far I can control the class and to know how to manage the time in the class verywell. The third, of course trains my patience in dealing with the characteristics of different students. And the last, I can be more confident in teaching students at school.

5.4 The Challenges of Practicum

The challenges I got from this teaching practice was many differences from some of the characteristics students have. Based on that, it becomes my challenge how to understand the body language of students who rarely communicate, knowing how to spell their names that are different words from the names of students in Indonesia. Besides that, eating in the Philippines is the most serious challenge during teaching practice there because the taste of food served there is not all in accordance with the taste in Indonesia. But there is something that is a fun challenge for me, going to school by public transportation and commute by ourselves is an unforgettable experience.

5.5 Overall Impression

Many impressions I got from this valuable experience. If delivered in its entirety it might not be enough with one or two words. But the most important thing is that I feel honored by the warm welcome from other people who are abroad. Besides that, I was very happy with the new experience I got during the teaching practice there.

5.6 Suggestions for Future Improvement

So that this activity can run even better for the future, my suggestion is to further strengthen communication between the coordinator receiving university and sending university coordinator, with all participant this program also before departure to the destination country. More mature in preparing the things is list all of needed for teaching in the destination country. Other than that, make sure that for every receiving university, it is expected to be able to provide buddys for each participant from the sending university.

4.Teaching Pratice

4.1 Procedures of Teaching
  1. Teacher greets the student.
  2. Teacher ask the student about the story.
  3. Teacher ask the students about post picture in the book. There will be picture flashed and call out volunteers to arrange the scrambled photos on how they imagine the situation in the picture.
  4. Teacher explain the students about prepositions of place (in, on, beside, across, above, between behind, and under)
  5. Teachers ask the students how each preposition differs in the location it describes by giving further examples and illustrations.
  6. Teacher ask the student to pay attention to the song that the teacher will play. There will be showed the examples of the preposition word. Then the teacher will give the questions to the volunteer.
  7.  The teacher make the students into 3 group.
  8. The students will play a game that student will hear the instruction from the teacher.
  9. Teacher give student the exercises by answering the question based on the book.
  10. Teacher close the lesson and advises the students to remember the lesson next week.

4.2 Time Management and Organizing Activities


Learning is carried out for 40 minutes in each subject. Within 49 minutes, students are not really full to study but there is an interval for break time. In the implementation of leatning, the set time has not been able to optimally. This happens because in learning students do not understand what is instructed by the teacher. So that when the learning is complete there are still activities that are still being carried out. 


4.3 Problem Solving

With the existence of problems in time management, then to anticipate this the teacher optimizes the time set. besides, learning activities are not too much to do.

4.4 Classroom Management

Based on the result of observations, the member of the students in grade 3-Kolvenbach is 32 people include men and women. In managing classes especially student can be done well because there are not too many. In giving instructions, students are very good at responding and paying attention to the teacher. In explaining the material, atudents are always focused in front of the class. Although sometimes I don't walk to students who sit behind the class. The ficilities provided are quite good, with 6 fans equipped to make students comfortable in learning.  To find out how far student understand learning materials, I evaluate students. So that everything in conducive, I give time to do the evaluation for 10 minutes. Then, student who have finished working on the evaluation are asked to collect the result by relaying from back to front so as to minimize the time and situation in the class.

2.1 Teaching Methods of The Teacher



According from teaching method of the teacher that I observed, the teacher used assigment method. This can be seen from the assignment of assignments to students at the end of learning. Then, the teacher used question and answer method. This method can develop student's knowledge and increase student's curiosity during the lesson. And the last, the method used by the teacher is game method. to This game can make students happy and excited, especially for Arts subject. They used their blank papper to create their hands on the papper. And then, one by one the students move the papper for wrote their feeling about the picture.

2.2 Learning Materials and Inovation of The Teacher

Learning materials and innovations that have been used are not just one. First, what they have used is a projector to display a fairy tale in the form of an image. Second, what has been used is a bell to calculate the time in learning that is presented in a game. And the last is a number of multiplication numbers that are modified on several cards. With the card, students can guess the contents of the multiplication by lifting the card and showing it to students.

2.3 Sources of Learning And Technology Used By The Teachers

Sources that have been used by the teacher are books that have been provided by the school. Almost all subjects have used textbooks that have been provided. In addition, learning resources that have been used are the environment around students. For example, like their own hands that have been drawn and then shown to their friends.

2.4 Authentic Assessment Used By The Teachers

The authentic assessment that was done by the teacher was by working on the student worksheet that was in accordance with the topic that day. Worksheets that have been used such as filling in the multiplication presented in an image that must be colored if it has found the answer. This is one of the authentic assessments in solving mathematical problems.

1.3 Teaching System


The Ateneo Grade School Department adapts the K to 12 Grading System. Assessments come in two types, formative and summativeFormative assessment may be seen as assessment for learning so teachers can make adjustments in their instruction. It includes performance in seatworks, homeworks, reviews, drills, exercises, games, recorded but not graded quizzes, etc. Though not included in the computation of grades, formative assessment must be recorded to keep track of learner’s progress. Summative assessment, on the other hand, may be seen as assessment of learning, which occurs at the end of a particular unit. This form of assessment usually occurs toward the end of a period of learning in order to describe the standard reached by the learner. Summative includes three components: Written Work (WW), Quarterly Assessment (QA) and Performance Task (PT). Summative assessment for each component comes only after substantial formative assessments have been conducted. The following are the steps in computing for the Quarterly Grades:
  • Raw Scores (RS) from all student work are addeed up. This result in the Total Score (TS) for each component, namely Written work, Performance Task, and Quarterly Assessment.
  • The Total Raw Score (TRS) for each component is converted to a Percentage Score (PS) by dividing the TRS by the Highest Possible Score (HPS).
  • Percentage Scores are then converted to Weighted Scores (WS) by multiplying PS by the weight assigned in each component (WC) in each particular subject. As shown in the table below.
  • Weighted Score (WS) = Percentage Score (PS) x Weight of Component (WC)
Components/

  • The sum of the Weighted Scores in each subject is the Initial Grade (IG).
  • The Initial Grade then will be transmuted using the given Transmutation Table (See Appendix A) to get the Quarterly Grade (QG).
  • The QG for each learning area is written in the report card of the student.

1.5 Measurement and Evaluation System 

The Ateneo Grade School Department adapts the K to 12 Grading System. Assessments come in two types, formative and summativeSummative includes three components: Written Work (WW), Quarterly Assessment (QA) and Performance Task (PT). Written Work (WW) ensures that students are able to express skills and concepts in written formIt may include quizzes, unit or long tests, essays, written reports or outputs whose items are distributed across the Cognitive Process Dimensions. There shall be at least five (5) scores/marks for Written Work component every quarter or grading period. Performance Task (PT) allows learners to show what they know or are able to do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products or do performance-based tasks. It includes skills demonstration, group presentations, oral work, multimedia presentations, research projects and other written output which allows learners to create or innovate in diverse ways. It gives students opportunities to demonstrate and integrate their knowledge, understanding and skills about topics or lessons learned in a specific real-life situation by performing and/or producing evidence of their learning. There shall be at least one (1) PT in every quarter. However, if there is just one PT in one quarter, it should contain complex or multiple learning targets and it must be given only limited or proportionate credit. Quarterly Assessment is divided into Mid-Quarter Assessment (MQA) and Final Quarter Assessment (FQA). These are in the form of tests that synthesize all the learning skills, concepts, and values learned. The Mid-Quarter Assessment (MQA) covers the first half of the quarter.  In the primary grades, MQA is given to five (5) subjects only, namely: Math, English, Filipino, Science and Araling Panlipunan. The Final Quarterly Assessment (FQA) covers the second half of each quarter. It is given in all subjects.

1.6 Curriculum

The Grade School adapts the K to 12 Curriculum Program. It is an innovative curriculum that aims to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop life-long learners and prepare completers for secondary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.


1.7 Teaching Plan

The teaching plan that I will do is to use the game method. Basically elementary school students are happy with playing games. then by using this method, learning that takes place will be fun. The learning media that I will use are talking sticks, word cards, projectors and student textbooks. The media can be used randomly in several meetings. The material that I will teach is about English especially on the topic of prepotition time and preposisition place.
