Creative + Calm + Understand + Good Preparation = Good Teaching

Micro teaching... In the last meeting is turn for us to be a teacher even this is only practice actually. I had learned about kind of instruction for teaching and I know there are four kind of instruction such as lecture discussion, group interaction, lecture discovery and direct teaching. From my friends micro teaching I guess most of us use group interaction for assessment and lecture discovery for explain the material.

I think we can apply our instruction based on our students’ condition. So, for the first and important we should know the characteristic of our class and the lesson that we will teach. After that we can decide the right instruction which not only help us to deliver material but also make our students feel enjoy with our course. For this meeting I learned grabbing our students’ attention not only in the beginning of the class, but also in every time is really important. If our students pay attention with us they can understand the instruction which we deliver.

I know to make balance teaching and learning process we should combine the right instruction, method and technique. All of that can complete each other if we combine well. My lecture said, we can use more than one instruction but I confused because it will be complicated I think.

For my group micro teaching, I think it not really good. There are a lot of differences with the plan. Everything is change because there is no good coordination between each member. In my opinion that is my group weaknesses. Does not care with the assignment, not well preparation, and technique problem also include in weaknesses. All of that we can handle with our lesson plan and clear explanation, I think those are my group strengthens. For this micro teaching I learned how to be creative and never give up if our lesson plan not works well. In my opinion, everything will be in our control if we still calm and not panic.

This meeting can be important lesson for me to be more creative. I think in this micro teaching myself did not give the best. I am panic and give up. I learned to improve myself for the future.
