In practicum learning, my cooperating teacher uses worksheets to help students in doing practical work and as a form of evaluation of the learning that has been done. They also have a textbook to help them in finding information. The equipment used in the practical work is also very adequate.
Also, my cooperating teacher has a creative idea. She wants to test the students to guess, what nutrition is contained in each solution that is tested. So, it is not “the food ingredients” that are given directly, but the food that are tested have been designed in such a way that they become a solution.

Sources of learning and technology used by the teachers
The biology learning resources they use are textbooks, laboratory equipment, the internet, and other applications that help in learning. They have Biology Textbooks in each grade. Also, my Cooperating Teacher has made books that are used in class. In the book, there are materials and evaluations sheet used in learning. Then not only that, they are allowed to bring devices, so they can search for various sources of information via the internet. They also use Google Classroom and Google Drive to help organize assignments, track progress, and share learning resources.
Authentic assessment used by the teachers
The assessments used include diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments, all of which aim to evaluate student abilities. Before beginning the learning process, diagnostic assessments are conducted to evaluate students' past knowledge and learning needs. Formative assessment occurs during the learning process to provide feedback that can help students learn more effectively, and summative assessment occurs at the end of the learning time to measure student achievement. At the end of lesson, teachers will ask the students a question to test their Worksheet answers, or discuss to solve problems. In other class, the teacher gives a quiz as a form of assessment to evaluate learning. In addition, the Cooperating Teacher records all class activities carried out as a means of self-evaluation.
