Pre-service teachers are being taught everything related to teaching and learning process for them to know the basic and complex ideas needed in pursuing their career, but before the actual deployment to the real world, one needs to see things in their own eyes, discover truth, and realize if they are fit or unfit towards the profession they have chosen. Thus, they are provided with the opportunity to go on a teaching internship program to find out, to learn, and to build themselves as future educators.
As to my case, being a practice teacher assigned for an internship in an institution that offers differentiated modalities of learning, such as modular, online, and limited face to face class, I was grateful that I have seen things beyond what I have envisioned. I discover so much about the teaching profession which difficulty and comfort varies on different aspects and factors. I realized a lot about the system of learning which may or may not helped learners build their potentials, and above all, I made a thought on to what I've chosen as a career based on what I've experienced, what I've heard, what the school and learners think about me, and the things I've done that made impacts to the people that I had been with.
For more than four hundred hours of teaching internship, 13 weeks of working at school, 8 sessions of online classes accompanied with personally crafted 8 learning and instructional materials, I could say that my experiences in my teaching internship was indeed a total package. It allowed me to realized that I am fit for the job. It made me prepared for the real setting and it gave me the opportunity to reflect on which aspect should I work on, should I improve and should make better. For I know I have already equipped the essential skills, knowledge and talents that West Visayas State University - College of Education provided me, it's just that I learned how these skills are best executed, how these knowledge are best shared, and how these talents are best showcased through my teaching internship experiences.
