Summary

Purpose of Practicum

We're the first program that had an opportunity to make it to Batch 10 SEATeachers. I was afraid, nervous, and lovingly homesick that made my decisions very hard. At first I thought only it is for my experiences, but not only that. Now that I fulfilled and taste the happiness that this school, SLB Negeri Surakarta, and this country, Indonesia, I realized that this is not only an opportunity, this is God's will to me. Now that I overcame my fears not just only to teach but also floating inside the airplane, so you see, I took a risk and didn't hesitate to go back where I belong because this is where my heart of education.

Procedures of my practicum

We planned for my schedules already before I went to SLB Negeri Sukarta. I had an opportunity to observe not just a week, to assist the learners, and to have my final demonstration at an allotted time. During my stay to this school, I discovered new things, their materials, technologies, how they communicate, and how well-behave and lot of patience of the teachers. My ibu is very considerate when it comes to planning and submitting requirements. I had to think differently, not the Teacher Angel in my country, but Ibu Dianah here in Indonesia. My buddies also helped me especially when translating some words that I don't understand, trying to meet my perspective of teaching, and my methods since my buddies are in different fields, but I didn't feel that I am out of their places.

Outcomes of my practicum

Actually, I was so scared of failing, again. I tried to calm myself, tried something new, and became a new version of me. At first in my self-teaching, it was good. However, I doubted myself asking "What if my resource teacher will be disappointed in me?", so many what if's. Until, she said, I will improve more, try to open yourself, and make my classroom as your family. Those motivational messages that my ibu (ma'am) told me gave me strength to overcome my fears, challenge myself, and think outside the box.

I did it, everyone! My final demonstration became my confidence to strive more, improve more, and to live a meaningful life to everyone and to myself. I was flabbergasted! My coordinator and my resource teacher gave me a shocking message that bring my mind and heart cry, joyful moment. Their suggestions and recommendations with some astonishing insights of me to my every day development, and to achieve my life long goals in life.

Overall Impression

I've never thought of going somewhere, until I met this school, and this country. I once had a dream, to teach somewhere and now here it was, making my own name for the very first time. A warm welcome, a warm farewell. Thank you SLB Negeri Surakarta, for unlocking my own box, and tried to fix my star. Indeed, three weeks felt like an eternity. Just like the stars on my topic, I will shine brighter, just as you said to me. To my buddies that shape me to become me, myself, Terima kasih.

Hindi pa dito nagtatapos, magbabalik ako bilang Ibu Diana ulit.

(This is not over yet, I will be back as Teacher Diana again).

Suggestions for future improvement

Hence we are the last Batch that went to Surakarta, the three weeks stay is slightly short period of time. I would suggest that next batch will be more prepared so that this time it would be more easier and to know more the school since it's almost Christmas that we went there. The more time you will have, the more you know the school.
