Teaching Practice 

Procedure of Teaching 

In teaching practicum, I have to teach about physics material and chemistry material. In first week I teach physics subject and the following week is chemistry subject. In first week I teach Physics subject and I don't found a significant obstacle. I make a lesson plan and will be checked by my mentor and prepare the media that  I will use, first material in physics subject is about waves, so I have to make a media that represented about the waves, my mentor recommend me to use a metal slinky. moreover also prepare assessment and assignment that will be give to the student. Before make a lesson plan in Philippines format my mentor give me the lesson that I can use as the guide to write mind. After all of the properties complete, it is time to do action, I use demonstration methods to explain the waves is. Than after that I divide the class to be some group to discuss about the demonstration. 

In following days I teach still about waves but different type, it is about surface waves, electromagnetic waves and also mechanical waves. I found a little obstacle, I confuse about the meaning and how to explain about the surface waves.  So I use some video to explain about surface waves, electromagnetic waves and also mechanical waves. And make some group of the student to discuss about the example of those waves. 

In second week I teach about chemistry subject. And I found some obstacle, because some of the material is little bit difficult to understand and I have to ask to my friend whose chemistry major. After asking to my friend it is more clear than before, I teach about  periodic tables and I have to search periodic table and how to explain it. 

Because the assessment and assignment that I use is question about understanding of the material, so the rubric is only how many score will get in 1 question. 

Time Management and Organizing Activities 

Time management for learning process is 45 minutes for explain the material, 10 minute for assessment  section and 5 minutes. But it is not  always like it , it's based on the material that will be delivered. After explain the  some of material we have to makesure are student understand or not by asking or give some question to student. While writing the equation or material in board, don't turn our back to the student, and we have to go around the class to check the class ,  some suggestion from my mentor are:

1. use understandable language or word for communication to the student 

2. louder voice 

3. use different way to delivered the material that can be understand by student 

4. Give some assessment and assignment to the student

Problem Solving 

To solve the problem in learning practicum, the teacher have to go around in class to answer the question in discuss section or to check the student work or done the assessment or not. That's the problem solving to make the class more conducive. For problem in prepare section, I read some article or source that related to the material and try to ask to my mentor about the material. 

Classroom Management 

when entered the class, the teacher is not directly tell to the student about the  material, the teacher  have to delivered some case in daily life that related to the material so the student can imagine the material in real condition, in delivering the material, teacher have to use two-way communication to make the student stay focus in material, divide the class into some group and let them discuss about the material, while discussion section the teacher have to go around to check the student do their work and at the end of the class, teacher will give some assignment.
