Teaching Practice

In the third week I did teaching practice in primary 1 class (1/1,1/2,1/3,1/4,1/5,1/6) normal program at banpongsanook school. I taught English subject with the topic "What do I have ?". Before doing teaching practice I made three lesson plans according to the direction of my cooperating teacher kru' Mye. The topic for the lesson plan that I will teach has been determined by my cooperating teacher. Let's goo!!!!

Before the lesson begins, I prepare all the media that will be used in learning such as turning on the mic, and TV. After that, prepare students to be ready to receive learning.

Preliminary Activity: 

The students Learners give greetings "Good morning teacher", after that I ask "How are you today?" "are you ready to learn?" with a pleasant voice intonation so that students are eager to learn. Then I introduce myself to students. Then I ask about the material that was learned yesterday as a stimulus and provide motivation to students. I explain the simple rules in the class with my cooperating teacher (Kru' Mye) so that students understand what I am saying. Before explaining about the material I warm up class with singing activities and playing games that are in accordance with the topic "What do I have?" with students so that they are more enthusiastic in participating in learning and students can better remember the learning material.

Activity proper: 

I display a slide show with the help of Television and laptop on the topic "What do I have?" and begin to explain to students the material, by displaying the media it is hoped that students will better explain the meaning of the vocabulary. Students read about vocabulary that they don't understand and I act out with my body and also real media around the classroom. I use student center learning (SCL). Then students will come forward to the front of the class one by one to answer 5 quizzes on the slide show. All students take the quiz with great enthusiasm and answer the quiz with the correct answer. Then students do group activity which is divided into 2 groups, students will answer the questions in the bamboozled game and discuss it with the group and then give the answer to the class. students are very enthusiastic about group activities and help students' understanding of the material "What do I have?"

Closure activity: 

During this activity students work on evaluation questions in the activity book and work on 7 questions that will determine where the student's understanding of the material is. Students and teachers provide conclusions about the learning that has been delivered. When all sequences of learning activities end students say "Thank You Teacher" by standing up.

For time management that I apply in the classroom is 1 (hour) 60 minutes  

• a) 15 minutes: Preliminary activities (organizing the class, introductions, warm-up, motivation), 

• b) 30 minutes:  activity Proper (explaining the lesson, giving quizzes/questions, play game, discussing with the group), 

• c) 15 minutes: closure activity (doing evaluation questions, reflection, and conclusion). 

My teaching schedule is Monday to Friday : 

• Monday in primary class 1/6 (09.30-10.30), 1/3 (10.30-11.30), 1/2 (12.30-13.30), 1/5 (13.30-14.30). 

• Tuesday in primary class 1/5 (08.30-09.30), 1/4 (09.30-10.30), 1/6 (10.30-11.30), 1/2 (12.30-13.30).

• Wednesday in primary class 1/6 (09.30-10.30), 1/1 (10.30-11.30), 1/3 (12.30-13.30), 1/1 (13.30-14.30). 

• Thursday in primary class 1/4 (08.30-09.30), 1/5 (09.30-10.30)

• Friday in primary class 1/4 (08.30-09.30), 1/1 (09.30-10.30), 1/3 (10.30-11.30), 1/2 (13.30-14.30). 

The classroom management that I do to students during the lesson is :

1. Explaining the rules of learning in class at the beginning so that students are more conducive to learning

2. Doing warm-ups such as singing together according to the content of the learning topic so that students are more motivated to take part in the lesson

3. Do ice breaking so that students are more enthusiastic in participating in learning

4. Conduct a quiz game so that students are more interested in answering questions easily and enthusiastically 

5. Change the tone of my voice so that students can easily understand the meaning of my words

6. Conduct group discussions so that students can further improve cooperation with their peers and be brave in giving their opinions.

When there are students who pay less attention to the teacher when explaining the lesson, then the solving of the problem is to provide ice breaking when learning takes place so that the student is refocused and excited. then when there are students who cannot answer questions from the teacher, then the solving of the problem is to give the question to another student and then answer it together with the teacher and give a conclusion.
