TEACHING METHODS
At Perguruan Islam Al-Amjad, the teacher I observed used interactive, student-centered methods that combined challenging lessons with Islamic values. Lessons involved discussions, group work, projects, and real-life applications, fostering critical thinking while grounding students in their faith. The teacher integrated Al-Qur’an and Hadith into various subjects, used Q&A sessions, multimedia, and performance tasks to maintain engagement, and upheld a supportive yet disciplined classroom. Assessments went beyond written tests, including oral recitations, practical tasks, and reflections to build both knowledge and character.
LEARNING MATERIALS AND INNOVATION
At Perguruan Islam Al-Amjad, I observed that the learning materials were not only complete but also creative and engaging. Teachers combined traditional textbooks with digital resources, interactive videos, and activity sheets to make lessons more dynamic. I appreciated how they used real-life examples and Islamic perspectives to make abstract topics easier to understand. Some teachers even created their own learning tools, like visual aids, games, and project-based tasks, that encouraged students to think critically and work collaboratively. This mix of conventional and modern methods showed me how innovation can make learning both meaningful and enjoyable.
SOURCE OF LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY
At Perguruan Islam Al-Amjad, every classroom is equipped with its own projector, which teachers use regularly to make lessons more visual and engaging. Alongside this technology, students work with textbooks that include hands-on activity sheets, allowing them to apply what they learn right away. I appreciated how the school balanced modern tools with traditional learning materials, creating a classroom environment that was both interactive and practical.
AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT
For assessment, the teachers at Perguruan Islam Al-Amjad relied on materials aligned with the Pearson books from Cambridge. They also prepared printed worksheets to evaluate students’ understanding through hands-on tasks and written exercises. This method allowed teachers to check not only if students remembered the lesson but also if they could apply concepts in practical ways. Watching this gave me insight into how structured resources and teacher-made activities can work together to create fair and meaningful assessments.
