Opening ceremony
Opening ceremony
A very memorable moment for us, the participants of SEA Teacher Bach 10th. The opening ceremony took place with great enthusiasm from various parties.
The event was opened with a speech from the organizing committee and was greeted lively with various dances full of enthusiasm. As representatives of Nusa Cendana University, Kupang, we are very proud to be able to introduce our regional culture, especially the Rote tradition, to Filipinos and other SEA Teacher friends from various universities.
In this opening ceremony, we performed the Kebalai dance which reflects the philosophy of life and cultural values that have been passed down from generation to generation. By wearing the Kebalai we want to show the Philippines that Indonesian culture is full of meaning.
First Week of Observation: Diving into the School Environment and Teaching Methods
First Week of Observation: Diving into the School Environment and Teaching Methods
The first day began with an introduction to the teachers and students as well as the science interns, who welcomed me warmly and the school atmosphere felt very friendly. After that, I began to observe the learning process in class, observing the teaching methods used by the teachers, the interaction between students and teachers and the dynamics in the classroom. At the beginning of the observation, I helped the interns give exams to students and helped the coordinating teacher teach me. One of the interesting things that I noticed was how the teachers used an interactive approach in teachingompared to my home country.

Pedagogical
After conducting observations, here is a report on pedagogy:
Capiz National High School applies a pedagogical approach that is oriented towards active learning and problem-solving learning. The school emphasizes that learning Physics should be more than just memorizing concepts and formulas; students are encouraged to understand basic principles through exploration, experimentation, and collaborative discussion.
1. Educational Philosophy
The school prioritizes experiential education, where students not only listen to theories but also test them in direct practice. This philosophy is in line with the constructivist approach which emphasizes that learning will be more effective if students are actively involved in discovering and developing their own understanding.
2. Learning Principles
Learning at Capiz National High School is based on several key principles:
Inquiry-Based Learning: Students are encouraged to ask questions and seek answers through independent experimentation and reflection.
Collaborative Approach: Learning activities are carried out in groups, allowing students to discuss and share ideas to deepen their understanding.
Problem-Solving Oriented: Materials are delivered using real examples so that students can relate concepts to everyday life.
Continuous Evaluation: The school uses various forms of assessment, including quizzes, group projects, and experimental reports to assess students’ overall understanding.
3. Learning Methods
To achieve optimal learning outcomes, various learning methods are implemented, such as:
Experiments and Demonstrations: Students conduct hands-on experiments to better understand Physics concepts.
Interactive Discussions: Teachers facilitate discussions that relate theories to everyday life phenomena.
Simulations and Case Studies: Students analyze real-world scenarios to develop critical thinking skills.
Educational Games: Methods such as Fact or Bluff and Stop Dance Game are used to increase student engagement in a fun learning environment.
4. Learning Evaluation
Evaluation is conducted with a holistic approach that includes:
Quizzes and Formative Tests: To measure students’ basic understanding.
Group Assignments and Experimental Reports: To practice critical thinking skills and scientific report writing.
Reflection and Discussion: Students are encouraged to evaluate their learning and relate it to real-world situations.
Conclusion
Capiz National High School emphasizes that Physics learning must be relevant to everyday life and be done actively. With a combination of interactive, experiential, and technology-based methods, it is expected that students will not only understand the concept in depth but also be able to develop critical and analytical thinking skills. This approach aims to build a generation that is better prepared to face challenges in the fields of science and technology.

Preparation Before Creating a Lesson Plan: Understanding Class and Student Needs
After going through the first week of observation, I began to prepare myself for the next stage: creating a lesson plan for teaching. However, before entering the planning stage, I needed to understand more deeply about the class conditions, student characters, and the most effective methods to apply.
The first step I took was to discuss with the mentor teacher about the learning objectives and methods commonly used in the class. I also asked for advice on the approach that best suited the character of the students, especially since each class has different dynamics.
In addition, I analyzed the results of previous observations, noting how students responded to various learning strategies. Some classes seemed more enthusiastic when given challenges or group discussions.
I also started looking for references for teaching materials, both from textbooks used in schools and other relevant sources. I wanted to make sure that the material I delivered was not only in accordance with the curriculum, but also interesting and easy for students to understand.
Not only that, I also considered how to manage the class, create activities that could increase student participation, and anticipate possible challenges that I would face when teaching later.
This process made me increasingly understand that being a teacher is not just about delivering material, but also how to create meaningful learning experiences for students. With all these preparations, I feel more ready to plan lessons and give my best in my teaching practice.

After I finished the demonstration, I was very proud of this class, class 9-STE Dalton, for their high participation, dedication, and enthusiasm in learning, I was able to complete the learning well. From them I learned that as Albert Einstein said, Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tomorrow. Never stop learning, because science is a bridge to your dreams. See you on the next scientific adventure!"
Closing Ceremony from Main Campus Roxas City
My testimony of gratitude to my science mentor and my coordinator and to the entire lecturers of the Roxas City campus and a word of gratitude to the principal, teachers, school staff, and especially the wonderful students, who have made this experience so valuable. I have not only learned a lot about teaching, but also about sincerity, teamwork, and passion in the world of education. This experience will always be an unforgettable part of my journey as an educator.

Closing Ceremony From Capiz State University
The university awarded certificates to us exchange students for participating and completing the 28-day program. We also received souvenirs as a memento of our memorable and rewarding stay in Capiz. And in this closing, I was accompanied by my coordinator mother and my science mentor and my coordinator teacher to attend this closing activity.
Summary
The SEA Teacher Batch 10 program was an incredible experience that provided me with a deep insight into the world of cross-cultural education. As a participant in the program at Capiz National High School, I had the opportunity to teach in a new environment with a unique and challenging education system. I faced various challenges, ranging from differences in curriculum, teaching methods, to adapting to the school culture and students.
Through this program, I learned how to be more flexible in teaching, adjust my teaching methods to suit my students’ needs, and build stronger connections with my fellow teachers and students. I also gained a deeper understanding of a more practical and problem-solving approach to teaching, which greatly helped in increasing student engagement in the classroom. In addition to honing my teaching skills, this experience also gave me the opportunity to understand how the education system works in another country, how school policies are implemented, and how technology and innovative learning strategies are used in the classroom. This program reinforced the importance of collaboration, adaptation, and innovation in education.
