6. Summary and Suggestions
Summary and Suggestions
1.1 Purposes of practicum
The practicum is very essential to student-teachers
as it gives us the opportunity to practice the different theories, principles
of teaching, different methodology, teaching strategies and different approaches
we have learned from school and for us to explore the world of teaching and
allow us to prepare on the field of teaching on our own when we will become a
full-pledge and professional teacher.
1.2 Procedures of practicum
Practicumers
are advised to have an observation to the their cooperating teacher for a week,
then the following week is scheduled for the microteaching, then the remaining
three weeks will be the schedule for the full teaching and student-teachers
will handle the whole class for the rest of the day for 3 weeks.
1.3 Outcomes of practicum
The
practicum gives us feedback on our performance which would be our basis for
improvement on our teaching skills and we will always carry it wherever we go
to the rest of the world.
1.4 The challenges of practicum
My
challenges from this practicum is on finding the materials needed for my
lessons especially if its on the internet, the internet is very slow. Another
is the adaptation of culture, though Philippines and Indonesia has something in
common but there are still some differences that I need to adapt and adjust
most especially if it touches to religious beliefs, most of the people living
in the Philippines are Christians.
1.5 Overall impression
My overall impression to this practicum can be describe
in one word and that is “magnificent”. Thought this experience it gives me a
wide perception in the field of teaching as well as to my whole life. I was
able to learn different skills needed in teaching aside from the strategies,
methods, and techniques shared by my cooperating teachers assigned to me. Aside
from that it also allows me to learn and appreciate teaching as tool to
eradicate ignorance in life and could be a tool to promote peace and harmony
especially to our region in Southeast Asia to be able to understand each
other’s differences regarding to our culture, religious belief, and political
views. It also allows me to become independent as I have to live by my own for
the rest of the month far away from my family and relatives. And
most importantly, it gives me enough knowledge to the career I choose,
confidence and boot my moral as a teacher
1.6 Suggestions for future improvement
The only suggestion I could make is I hope that the
practicum could be extended for a few months for us to learn more things from
other nations in Southeast Asia.
