PURPOSES OF PRACTICUM
PURPOSES OF PRACTICUM
-Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto and SMP UMP (Islamic Global School) provided me more than my needs.
My experiences made me flexible and adaptable to change. I learned a lot of things especially in teaching and learning process. They introduced me to their way of teaching, their materials and curriculum.
I'm very thankful for SMP UMP for letting us have school visits to different secondary schools, where we were also welcomed. We met the principals, the students, we had some activities and games where students had fun and we shared our knowledge and culture.
Not only I met my needs regarding teaching but I'm also full with experiences about the rich Indonesian culture. I learned that language and cultural differences is not a barrier for learning and building a relationship.
PROCEDURES OF PRACTICUM
The schedule was followed!
OUTCOMES OF PRACTICUM
My experiences will be my core memories forever!
I can say that as a student teacher, my internship in Indonesia will make a big difference when I come back to my country because the Indonesian teachers and students helped me the best way they could.
I felt very emotional because I don't want to leave yet because I'm emotionally attached to the teachers, students and faculties.
THE CHALLENGES OF PRACTICUM
No major challenges faced!
OVEARALL IMPRESSION
My host school and cooperating school exceeded my expectations!
Writing this made me very emotional. I didn't expected this experience would make so much impact to me, not just as a student teacher but as an individual who seeks for self improvement.
We went to tourists spots, historical places and tried different dish. They let us order and try everything we want. They provided us everything that we need, they offered us what they have.
We're truly blessed because we felt like we're home even we are miles away from our home!
SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE IMPROVEMENT
Everything went perfectly well. Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto and SMP UMP (Islamic Global School) only gave us the best experience.
The only suggestion I can give is to lengthen the duration of the program.
