From my observations, the teaching method leaned more toward student-centered learning, where students were actively involved in the learning process rather than just passively listening to the teacher. The teacher strongly encourages participation with students during explanations by inviting students to share their thoughts, respond to questions, and engage with the material in their own way. Instead of fully delivering long explanations, the teacher often guided lessons through questions that encourage students to think more deeply about the topic. I also noticed another teaching method employed in the classroom which was problem-based learning, where students were given questions that required them to think critically and come up with possible answers or solutions. Through discussion and interaction, they were able to explore different perspectives and learn from each other. Overall, the teaching and learning process felt quite dynamic and very interactive between the students and the teachers.
The learning materials used in the classroom combine both modern and traditional resources, with PowerPoint serving as the main and essential tool that teachers are expected to use in every lesson. Alongside PowerPoint presentations, other materials such as short videos, digital books, and printed resources are also integrated to support the learning process. This combination helps make lessons more engaging and accessible, as it accommodates different learning styles and allows students to understand the material in a more interactive way. These resources are not only used to deliver content, but also support classroom activities like group discussions, guided questioning, and project references, encouraging students to collaborate, think critically, and connect their learning to real-life situations, making the overall learning experiences more meaningful and effective.
In the classroom, various types of assessments are used to evaluate students’ understanding in both collaborative and individual ways. One approach is discussion-based assessment, where students work together to respond to the teacher’s questions or any activities and sometimes present their answers, allowing them to exchange ideas, think critically, and learn from one another. In addition, formative assessment is also applied through individual tasks, where students answer questions to demonstrate their understanding of the material. This approach allows students to progress at their own pace, ensuring they really understand the topic before moving on to the next one.
