PROSEDUR OF TEACHING

My teaching demo lasted for two days. The first day was the day where I would deliver the material "Acceleration" and the second day was the assessment day for the students. I made a lesson plan for the two days. In this teaching, I used the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method. This learning method is a student-focused learning approach that works collaboratively to solve complex real-world problems. It is a student-centered active learning methodology that is different from traditional didactic teaching methods. In a PBL environment, students are presented with a problem or scenario and are expected to investigate and analyze it, using critical thinking and problem-solving skills to arrive at a solution.

TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZING ACTIVITIES

The time allocation for each lesson hour is 60 minutes. My total teaching time during demo teaching was 120 minutes in two days with two weeks of class observation and one week for teaching assistance. So, I made a lesson plan for two days. On each day the time allocation is 60 minutes. This PBL method has 5 phases. I divided the 5 phases into two, two phases I did on the first day of my demo teaching and the next 3 phases I did on the second day of my demo teaching.

PROBLEM SOLVING

The characteristics and principles of Problem Based Learning (PBL) are:

• Students are given authentic, open-ended problems that reflect real-world challenges or scenarios. These problems often lack a clear-cut answer and may require students to gather information and make decisions.

• PBL is highly interactive. Students take an active role in their learning, conducting research, discussing ideas, and proposing solutions.

• PBL typically involves small groups of students working together. Collaborative problem-solving encourages the exchange of ideas and the development of teamwork skills.

• PBL emphasizes the development of critical thinking skills, such as evaluating information, assessing its reliability, and applying it to the problem at hand.

• Students regularly reflect on their learning process and receive feedback from peers, instructors, or mentors. This reflective practice helps them refine their problem-solving skills.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

The phases of the PBL method are:

• Student Orientation to the Problem

• Organizing Students to Learn

• Guiding Individual and Group Inquiry

• Developing and presenting work

• Analyzing and Evaluating the Problem Solving Process

The activities in each phase can be seen in the lesson plan which is located on the "Teaching Plan" page.

STUDENTS WORK

Students worked on a worksheet, which contains one critical thinking question and five problem-solving questions. They work on the worksheet in groups of two to three with their peers.  As for individual assessment, I give them an assignment to do three counting problems. I gave the assignment at the end of the lesson on the first day after delivering the material and collected it the next day.
