Observations/ Account
(What Happened?)
Before I taught in class I was so
nervous but God helped me to be
confident
I got positive comment from my
professor and the cooperating teacher
I reached Universitas Pelita Harapan by
6:10am, Even though I went UPH early
but my cooperating teacher was already
there.
Name: Gita Lama
Reflections & Critical Response
(What do I think of it? What went well? What could be improved?
How? What will I do differently? How does this connect to the
theory I have read from class?)
I was nervous because today my colleges teacher and head of
Universitas Pelita Harapans teacher came to observed me. I t
I think I teach effectively to students, because my cooperating
teacher told me that you managed the classroom. My teacher
from college she told me that I handled class and made
students engaging. My students had also listened me and
engaged with me. I think I need to be more confident so I can
involve more with my students. I realize that if I put activity
then students will get engage with teacher. Students will get
bored if I always give the information from the book.
I was worrying about my teaching because I thought my
teacher will not like my way of teaching. But I was wrong
they were happy to see my teaching. Even though my English
language is not, but it was good because I worked hard. I need
to improve my English more so in the future in Nepal I can
teach students effectively. Once I read steppingstone book, to
be effective teacher we need to understand students and give
positive comment so they can motivate.
I went early to school. I want to check power point and video
because today was my teaching day and my teacher decided to
come and observed my class. I think, as a teacher I must finish
everything on time. So, I wanted to finished my worked before
my teachers come. So, I went early and made everything ready
for the class. My cooperating teacher was appreciating me
because I values time. In future, I will be prepared for my
class before class. Because as a teacher I need to be example
for my students so they can also give value to time.
