REFLECTIVE JOURNAL

WEEK 4

(21th April – 25th April 2014)

Problem:

After three weeks I carried out my practicum, I found that the students tend to forget

their previous lessons even though they had been doing exercise and enrichment

activities during the teaching and learning process. When the teacher asked if they

remembered the previous lessons, they tend to keep quiet and only one or two

persons will answer after hints was given by the teacher.

Analysis:

I consider that this problem rises due to the fact that:

1. They did not do their revision on the topic which they have learned

consistently during outside the classroom.

2. The topic which they have learned are not related to their context of learning

3. The teaching and learning period appears to be boring and unmemorable for

them.

4. Teachers use the same techniques.

Proposal:

1. Increase activities that involve all students.

2. Use formative assessment at the end of the lesson to increase their

understanding on the topic.

3. Improve the teaching and learning sessions so that it will be more memorable.

4. Always mention the name of the students so that they feel appreciated.

5. Using teaching aids appeal to students.

6. Give them rewards as motivation so that they will motivated to learn.

Period:

I will be doing the exercise in formative assessment for 10 minutes before the

class ends starting from 23th April until the end of practicum.

Follow-up Actions:

I will record their marks that they achieved in a form so that I can determine

their level of achievement.

Conclusion:

The teaching and learning lesson should have a quality that gave impacts on the students so that they can remember the teaching and learning process in the future. Teacher needs to find a distinctive way of teaching so that the lesson would be memorable for the students.
