PETA Journal Reflection 2
            Today is the second meeting of PETA subject. In this session, i learned about “planning instruction”. As a teacher we need to have a good capability to make a planning of our teaching process. That’s why we need lesson plan as our guidance of learning process in our class room.
            By using lesson plan teacher can create a learning process which is well planned. So that the teachers can facilitate and provide the students needs for developing themselves, and also to achieve the desired learning objective.
            To create a good lesson plan, teacher should able to fulfill the teacher professional knowledge, which consist of knowledge of content that is going to be taught, knowledge of learners and learning, general pedagogical knowledge, and also pedagogical content knowledge. It means teacher should know everything about the class. It seems like the teacher is a captain, the class is a ship, and the student is the crew which always obey the captain’s words. So, teacher have a full responsibility of what is going to happen in the class, what is going to be taught in the class, what will the students do in the class, and also how to assess them as the result of their learning.
            In addition before teacher make a lesson plan, there are 3 more aspects which should be decided. The first, teacher should identified the  desired results. The second, determine the acceptable evidence. And the third, teacher should consider the students characteristics and behaviors.
            By those all the characteristics as the guidance for the teacher in creating a good lesson plan, teacher are expected can create the suitable learning process for their students. So, the students can learn easily and also enjoy the learning process.

An effective teacher. are you?

PETA Journal Reflection 1
            Today is the first day of my meeting with Miss. Ine as my lecturer in PETA subject. In this subject i learned about how to be an effective teacher. As we know there are a lot of teacher in this world, but are they all can be incorporated as effective teacher? The answer is no.
            Based on my opinion, the main problem that caused this problem is teacher didn’t have enough understanding about what is an effective teaching. When i reflect to my previous learning experience, i remember about my teacher which becomes an effective teacher on my opinion. She has a unique teaching style and also good time management. When I was taught by her was a really good learning experience, because her teaching style can be managed uniquely so all of the student could learn easily about the material that was being taught by the teacher.
            In other side, I also have a bad learning experience exactly my learning experience in senior high school. There i have a really strength teacher, he often give physical punishment to his students, he also make a really strict rules for his class. It’s really my bad learning activity. Because of his attitude toward his student, the condition of the class became not conducive. So the students can’t learn a lot of things from that teacher.
            Based on my both reflection of my learning experience, i can conclude that effective teacher should have good attitude toward their students, good teaching style, creative in giving any assessment, and also can be a good facilitator of the students to fulfill what the students need for their learning activities.
            Ok, i think that’s all my own reflection by my own point of view about effective teacher.
