1.1
Purposes of practicum
The aim of this
program is to improve the experience in teaching, especially in other
countries. In addition, this program also has a function to broaden knowledge,
how to teach well, the types of teaching such as what is suitable, how to
properly arrange lesson plans, and how to manage the class so that it is
conducive.
1.2
Procedures of practicum
The procedure that is in accordance with the SEAMEO is
given in the first week, SEA Teacher must make observations. This observation
is done so that SEA Teacher can find out how to teach in accordance with the
school's objectives, what should be done in teaching, and prepare the material
to be taught in a teaching practicum. Then in the second week, teaching
assistants were held. The purpose of teaching assistants is to teach together
with English teachers, to find out how to teach and provide teaching material
to students. In addition, the purpose of teaching assistants is to find out
ways to organize the class properly and correctly. In the last two weeks,
teaching practice was conducted, where this activity was a core activity of SEA
Teacher. In this activity, the SEA Teacher must teach based on the lesson plan
that has been created and must be able to arrange the class well.
Although SEAMEO has made a schedule as explained
earlier, the schedule is returned again to the recipient university and
destination school. Sometimes, there are several schools that provide schedules
for teaching practice for one week. The schedule is usually arranged by the school.
1.3
Outcomes of practicum
The results obtained from this teaching practicum are
experiences to teach students in the classroom. In addition, SEA Teacher can
make appropriate lesson plans such as basic competencies, explanations of
teaching materials and the time needed for each meeting.
1.4
The
challenges of practicum
Many students are
difficult to organize by the teacher, especially for students in elementary
school. Because they are difficult to receive lessons if only explained without
learning by doing. In addition, SEA Teacher must adjust to the conditions in
the destination country. For example, in Thailand, the average population is
still difficult to use English. So, it is difficult for SEA Teachers who visit
to communicate with the people, especially with students.
1.5
Overall
impression
The impression
that I got from this program was learning to understand each other, teaching
well to students especially Prathom 5 where they were still having difficulty
receiving lessons in English. Besides that, I also got the experience of how I
can make lesson plans well, arrange classes to be conducive, and so on.
The recipient's
university and recipient's school are also very good, so that makes me feel
comfortable with activities while in Thailand.
1.6
Suggestions for future improvement
I hope in the next
batch, SEAMEO can better organize the receiving universities and destination
schools. I still find it difficult to contact the destination school because I
did not receive the information about the destination school before I left. I
do not know about what activities are in school and what is needed for the
school. Before leaving, it is expected that SEA Teacher has been told about the
destination school so that they can know what needs to be prepared.
Prathom 5/1, 5/2, and 5/3
