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
- 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.
