Unit 2. Pedagogical Contents
1. Teaching methods
After observed for a day in P. Gomes, teaching methods was quite simple. First, when teacher entered the room all students said greeting to the teacher and teacher replied with greeting too. Second, the students were praying then the teacher check their attendance. Third, the teacher gave them the drill and review. After that, the teacher started to explain the material or topic that day and gave assignment and end the class.

All teacher used to bought the latest book which was related to the topic that they teaching. For innovation in learning, they used powerpoint presentation, used so many materials (especially in mathematics class) and also showed video, told story and played games which are related to the topic at that time.

Unit 3. Observation on Teachers in the Classroom
1. Their planning for teaching
The teacher made lesson plan based on curriculum guide (K-12).
2. Their preparing lessons and materials
The teacher used to prepare the presentation based on their literatures (text book, journal or internet) and the mathematics teacher always had so many materials that related in the topic that time.
3. Their teaching in class
I did the observation from the first grade to sixth grade. The teacher in first grade until third grade was teaching using pure mother tongue (tagalog) in every subject but english. The transtition from tagalog to english was in forth grade. They had their own way to teaching because it depends to the subject. My favorite one is my cooperating teacher, Mrs.Dinah E. Tagarino (Mathematics master Teacher grade VI). She was strick but humble and funny also patient at the same time. she could make all the student pay attention and understand the topic. She is amazing.
4. Their measurement and evaluation
The teacher always gives the students assignment, a test for the evaluation in each topic, MID semester and FINAL semester. The score will be process for students’ final score in a report for one semester. BUT! they also pay attention to students’ atitude.
5. My overall impression to the teacher performances
They can manage the time, used so many strategies in teaching and manage the students verry well. I had learned lots of thing from them especially from Mrs. Dinah E. Tagarino. They not just opened the dor of knowledge for students, but also guided them to find their dream and cheer them to did the best for it. That was amazing for me.
Unit 4. Teaching Plan
1. Curriculum related to my major
I was teaching mathematics in grade 6. I used K-12 to construct the lesson plan. Please open file down below to see the curriculum guide.
2. Teaching plan related to my major
I made my lesson plan as simple as possible based on K-12, prepared for my materials while teaching and used coperative learning strategy when teaching in the class. You can download my lesson plan in first meeting and my presentation in second meeting down below
Unit 5. Teaching practice
1. Procedures of your teaching
I was teaching statistic in grade VI. The topic based on the curriculum was from M6SP-IVe-1.6 to M6SP-IVf-4.6.
First, when the student entered the class and standing beside their chair, they said greetings and i replied greeting too. Second was praying time but in final demonstration the student sang a welcome song. Next, i gave them the drill and the review before i started explain the topic that time.
When i did the presentation, first i gave them an example and problem also the solution. second i gave them a problem and solved it to fixing their skill, next another problem in aplication, then evaluation and finally i gave them the assignment.
2. Time management and organizing activities
I had to do all those steps for 50 minutes for each class. So i used to gave 8 minutes for student to finished the drill and review, about 6 minutes to explained how to solve the pfoblem by using example. I gave 10 minutes for solving the problem to fixing their skill and asked 2 students to precentating their solution in front of class (about 6 minutes for both of them), also 10 minutes for application problem and 10 minutes for evaluation. But still it was hard for me to manage the time.
3. Problem solving
I usually guide them to find the solution of the problem were given.
4. Classroom management
I always remembered to do the simple “ice-break” to avoid making the student felt boring in the class, i did the coperative teaching strategy then told them to solve the problem were given.
5. Your overall impression in taching
I was quite nervous at the first but i got used to it for few minutes. I was so happy because almost all of them is very good in english so i was not that hard to expained the topic. About 87% of all student had the same hobby like me. For example : watching anime, K-Dramas, Harry Potter, etc. So the class was very fun!
for my final demonstration, you can download the lesson plan, presentation and also my evaluation form below..
