My teaching week is coming!!! Wow, feeling nervous
hah?? Yes I am….!! I couldn’t believe that this was my third week in University
of San Carlos, Cebu City Philippines. The day I have to teach the students, I
hope that I could teach them as well as my mentor did.
The first day of this week that was Tuesday because
of Monday was off day for school to commemorate the National Heroes Day in
Philippines. The first day, I am not started to teaching yet because of Mam
Esie said that she have to finished the topic before going to the topic that I would
teach. Then I just did assistance and observing the students meanwhile Mam Esie
teaching. The end of this day, my mentor told me that I just could taught two classes in the next day because of three classes
were not finished the topic yet. Also Mam Esie did not forgot to gave me an
encouragement for teaching tomorrow.
Well, here we go! Day 17 became my first day for
teaching. This day I was entered 9-SJF Class and 9-BJHS Class. First section
was 9-SJF Class and second section was 9-BJHS
Class also Mam Esie join the class, she would be observed me
in the back of the class in how I taught the students and how to manage the students even she wrote a comment for me
during I was teaching. We started by praying
and then I explained to the class that I would started to taught them that day. I catch most of the students excited with that, so it made me
more excited too. Then, I started the class by asked them to pray and also greeting the class.
Firstly I gave them the house rule of my class that was:
(1) Pay attention on teacher; (2) Always asking; (3) In discussion group, you
not allowed to do it individually; (4) Read the book at home. And I explained
the rules to the students. There were a reason why I gave them the rules, it’s
coming when I was observed them in the first week. Like in my lesson plan, then
I introduced the topic that I would teach them that is “Properties of Radicals”
and also the important thing was let them know the learning objectives. In this case I just teach them about “The Product Rule
of Radicals”. But before to the main topic, I recalled the past lesson so that
would be made easier for the students to understand the the next topic. After
sure of their understanding about the last lesson, then to started the main
topic I asked the students to made group discussion to find the rule product of
radicals. After that I explained to them more example of applying the rule.
Then after they understood about the rule, I tried to gave them exercise and
let them answer it on the board. In the case of SJF Class they were very active
of participated on answering the questions and I really appreciated it and so
proud of it. In BJHS class I just could explained
the rule and gave them some example and the plan of gave them exercises was
became an assignment for them. In both of the class I was careless of time, I didn’t realized the time was
over so I was late dismiss the class. It was quite
hard to manage the time.

Actually, I was planned to taught in three classes
this day, the other one was 9-SCB Class. But the schedule not supported me,
they have to finished the previous lesson. Then I thought that I would taught them
for the next day. The end of this day, Mam Esie showed me the comment that she
had wrote and explained me about my weakness and gave me an advice about the first
time I came to the class I have to checked the attendance, yeah I was forgot
about that but she still admired me about how I teaching this day. J

I am so happy for my first teaching day.
This is the comment of Mam Esie wrote about my first teaching day in 9-BJHS Class:
Hoaahhhhhh, Now Day 18 that became my second day of
teaching day. The last night before this day,
I was prepared the things that I would teach in the class so it would made me
more ready when teaching. Today I was taught
9-SJF Class, 9-BMHS Class and 9-FAB Class. In case 9-BJHS and 9-SCB Class, they
were skip the class because of they have to support their friend that had
competition. That was also surprised me, I never found if one of the students
have competition then the other classmates would be the supporter for her/him. Same
like previous day, I started the class by praying, greeting, and not forgot to
checked the attendance also asked them to arranged their chair if the class seems like a
mess.
In SJF class, I was continue the lesson in how they
simplifying the non-perfect square root used the product rule of radicals
because of the first day I explained about in how simplifying the perfect
square root case used the rule. But before it, I recalled the lesson of
previous day by asking them orally then trigger them to be active and answer
the question and after that I gave them individual exercise of the perfect square root
case and insert one question of non perfect square root. I did it on purpose
to saw how they would solve it, that they could or not.
When I walked around meanwhile the students answer
it. I saw some students could answer the non-perfect square case but there were
students still felt confused of the perfect square case. When I walked around,
I also gave the explanation to the student who asking and to the student that I
thought seem like still did not understood. Then after the time over, I asked
some student to raised their hand to answer it on the board, but when I saw
there were always the same student that answer it on the board then I decided
to point some student to answer it and told to the students gave chance to the
other students.
After the students answer it on the board then we checked
together and I gave the clarification whether it was correct or wrong answer.
Then when arrived to the non perfect square root question, I was asked them how
the got the answer. Some of students know and the others were not, then I
explained it. So that, we’re came in to the next lesson of simplifying the
non-perfect square root. Because of the time, I just could explain little bit
about the non-perfect square root by gave them some examples then I asked them
to have more exercises at home.
For 9-BMHS Class, I was do the same thing like 9-SJF
Class. Because of the previous day Mam Esie already explained about the product
rule of radicals then now they need exercises of simplifying the radicals form
by used the product rule. My target was the same like in SJF Class that was
could explained the non-perfect square root. But unfortunately I couldn’t made
it. I just could gave them exercise that became assignment.
But my mentor said that it was fine, it was better to made them more understand
about the previous lesson than to made them move to the next lesson but the
still did not got it. So I was relieved that time. I’ll tried to be better in
the next day.
In the case of 9-FAB Class, I teach them all over
again like the first day I did. Because this the first time they move to the
next lesson. So I introduced the topic and also the objectives and I made it
till the exercise Day 1 in my lesson plan, but I couldn’t checked and discuss
it with the students together so then I asked them to looking at it more at
home whether their answers wrong or right and we’ll checked together in the
next meeting.
