Artika's SEA Teacher Journey in the Philippines

My name is Artika Devi Alamsyah, a 6th semester student in the Elementary School Teacher Education Program at Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA), Indonesia. I am passionate about education, especially in developing effective and engaging learning experiences for elementary school students.

I am participating in the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) SEA Teacher Student Exchange Program, hosted by Capiz State University – Burias Campus, Philippines. This program gives me the opportunity to gain international teaching experience, observe different educational practices, and interact with students and educators from another country.

Through this blog, I share my experiences during the SEA Teacher program, including school observation, teaching practice, cultural immersion, and various academic and social activities. I hope that the stories and reflections from this journey can inspire other students and future educators to explore global learning opportunities and appreciate cultural diversity in education.

As a future teacher, I believe that education plays an important role in shaping the next generation. Therefore, I am committed to continuously learning, growing, and contributing to the development of quality education.
