My Ninth Reflection

My Ninth Reflection

9^th- 12^th of April 2018, I study as follow:

A teacher has to put description in students’ writing assessment and the teacher have to see the students’ strength in students’ writing, that is professional teacher. Every single thing should assess by the teacher, such us:

Students’ writing leaves spaces from words.

They form and places letter on the line.

They write legibly.

They Writes sentence using subject object pattern with basically which include some simple adverbial and use adverbial of time.

They uses article a and the and include abbreviation.

They use past-tenses of irregular.

They use known words to attends spelling of unfamiliar words.

They use basic punctuation, basic conjunction.

The teacher have to give positive feedback instead of saying your writing is bad, but we have to say, uses known errors instead unfamiliar word.

They write using formulaic structure and uses upper and lower case letter, includes a heading, using basic punctuation, spells mort familiar words accurately.

Five things which is important: Competence, indicators, materials/ media, learning process, assessment.

There are three kinds of assessment:

Assessment of learning is mostly done at the end of task which usually summative.

Assessment as learning is the use of nonstop self-assessment by students in order to monitor their own learning

Assessment for learning happens during the learning, often more than once. Students understand exactly what they are to learn, what is expected of them and students are given feedback and advice on how to improve their work.

 

On Wednesday, I studied about how to make detailed reading and On Thursday, my friend and I shared thing which is very special thing for our self in front of class when UTN lesson and we answered reading test. and we also should give a comment to our friends’ teaching.

We as a teacher should always reflect on theirself the way we teach, Selalu merefleksi diri, sincere toiklas menerima masukan dan memberi masukan dari orang lain.

Three thing that teacher should pay attention:

1. In interaction, teacher should use teacher centeres which mean that the teacher should pay attention when to use teacher centered. The teacher can ask a question to students which the teacher has known the answer or negotiation. The teacher can also ask asks a question to students which the students don’t know the answer for example the teacher can asks students experience.


2. Learning behavior. It means that the teacher should pay attention the development of students: cognitive, affective and psikomotor. In cognitive, teacher should pay attention to toxonomy bloom which consist of remembering, understanding, applying, anylzing, evaluate and creating. In affective, there are 5 thing that should be pay attention; receiving (students listening to teacher explanation), responding (the students can asks teacher question), valuing, organization, caharacterization. The teacher should look whether the students affective improve higher than before. And also teacher should pay attention to psikomotor, which is consist of imitating, manipulating, preceding, articulating and naturalizing.


3. Students text. It means that the teacher should pay attention to the text that will be given to students. Is the text easy enough? Is the text difficult for students?

Teaching is no easy ways because there are a lot thing that should be think. Teaching is to fulfill students’ needs which the development is different. Teaching is to make the students can communicate effectively.

 

 

 

My Eighth Reflection

My Eighth Reflection

2^th -5^th  of April 2018, I studied a lot of thing, such us:

1. The difference between HOT and HOTs. I got some explanation from the lecture about HOT. Lecture said that something which makes the students curious is HOT (Higher Order Thinking). While HOTs (Higher Order Thinking Skill) is theory of Taxonomy Bloom which include analyze, evaluate, and create.


2. In making an activity, something that should pay attention is in the word choices, such us:

The students hear the song and the students read the text. The word “hear” and “read” isn’t part of activity. It should be: The students answer the question from the song which is heard. And the students write the important information from what has been read. The word “answer” and “write” is an activity.

The teacher doesn’t have to explain the material to the students, but the teacher can explain the material to make the students can answer the worksheet or task. Teacher also doesn’t have to explain grammar explicitly. But the teacher can ask a question related to the grammar, and students answer the question correctly. For example, if the teacher want to teach present perfect. The teacher can ask to the students a question related to present perfect, where have you been this week? Or have you ever been to bromo?

3. The text which is given by the teacher to the students should be authentic. Authentic means that the text is relevant with students’ life.

Interaction in detailed reading:

• Preparing before reading: teacher first tells the students what to look for, and engage students by asking question with easy to answer (what students need to know about the text), use image to promote students, and introduce the text.


• Elaboration, encourage students to bring their experience to reading, relate to students own experience, and accept all responses.

4. When making the proposal research, the first thing that should be pay attention is the title of the research. The title should focus, and not too specific.

 

 

 

My seventh reflection

My seventh reflection

25^th -29^th of March 2018, I study about:

What are the questions to ask about social function of the text?

Social function is to examine the awareness of students about the text and it different with the purpose of the text. In order to let the students know about social function, a teacher should give questions which lead to the social function. The question must let the students know the potential reader of the text; it must let students aware where they find the text. Then, the question also must make students know where, when, and how to use the text.  In narrative text, the teacher can ask social function such us:

1. Where did you usually find this kind of text?


2. What does this text tell you about?


3. Who will read this kind of text?


4. What information can you learn from the text?


5. Why do you want to read this text?


6. How is the text related to your life?

What are the questions to ask text structure of the text?

Here are some questions which can use to ask about the understanding of text structure.

1. What is the main idea?


2. What is the first paragraph about?


3. What is the second paragraph about?


4. What is the third paragraph about?

Reading to learn is read at first and then write. As a teacher, the teacher should let the students understand the text in general terms by giving the background knowledge they need to understand. For example: if the text about malin kundang, so the teacher can ask a question first before read the text. Who is malin kundang?. Then ask the student to read particular sentence in paragraph one line three which tell who is malin kundang. One student read the text and the other hear. After that, the teacher asks other student the question which is related to what has been read by student. Is malin kundang from Sumatra?

After that, the teacher can move to another question, when did malin kundang go to the city? Then asks again the other student to read the sentence in paragraph two line one which consists of the answer where malin kundang went. And the other students hear. So, the teacher should involve other students in the process of learning. Read the text by giving a question. If the students can retell the text then the students has understand.

 

 

My Sixth Reflection

My Sixth Reflection

19^th – 23^th of March 2018, I learn about:

Indikator penting dan menunjang, ada tiga jenis indicator:

• Indikator kunci yaitu indicator yang mana minimal harus tercapai kompetensi yang ada dalam standar minimal KD.


• Indikator pendukung.


• Indikator pengayaan yaitu apabila peserta didik memiliki kemampuan lebih dari standar minimal KD.

Something that should be understands about functional text:

1. The purpose of recount is to retell about experience, about people experience, not about place. While Historical recount should tell about people experience which will make the students love our country or motherland. The purpose of recount text is to retell someone’s experience. Recount base on personal experience but there is not complication or there is no resolution. The difference between recount text and narrative text is in narrative text there is complication and resolution. Recount text can tell about the conflict from paragraph into paragraph but there is not a resolution. Or the text can tell about only an achievement.


2. Report text explains about place.


3. Description text. In the general identification or in the first paragraph should be given an announcement that the description in the next paragraph until the end of the paragraph will explain about the location, shape, and function. The question of descriptive text should connect to the text, we can ask such as: How you are feel when you are there ?, what do you see?


4. To test students understanding about understanding the song, we can give a teacher a tast to retell a song or review a song, and what is the moral value in the song. Or the students are asked to write a song

Handwriting or digital writing?

In my opinion, I prefer digital writing than handwriting. It is because two reasons. First, it will not take too much cost. It doesn’t have to print. In handwriting, the paper should print and  the teacher revises it and write again the right one in different paper then the teacher revises it again. The process like that needs lots of budget which should spend much materials from the beginning of writing until the end of writing which needs printer and paper which should buy. In digital writing also has the same benefit will be gets as well as handwriting, the writing task will be assess also in digital writing. So, the use of digital writing really helps to not waste too much money.



Second, in this modern era, the use of technology can’t prohibit which the world change so fast. The communications are rapidly improved which the students can communicate to the person from another country easily by using social media which means the students need different ways to learn and to express themselves which appropriate with this modern era. One thing that can make them interest to write and to communicate is by using technology itself. So, the use of digital writing is a new ways to make the students interest in doing task especially writing task.

In conclusion, digital writing can make easier the students in doing writing task and they will be fun in doing the task because it matches with their needs in this modern era.

Smart reader

Smart Reader
There are four things to make sure that what you read is a fact. First, you have to make sure that the site of the news can be trust, such us the end of the site is like .com, for example: britishenglish.com or bbc.com. Second, you have to look who said the quotes in the news or article including what they said. Third, you have to confirm that the quotes in the news or article are true. You can ask to the person who said the quotes whether the information is true or not and ask through social media, or maybe meet the person. Finally, there are usually factual data to prove the news or article is fact. It can be photo and video. So, you have to make sure the site can be trust, then make sure who said the quotes in news or who said in the article, next you have to confirm what you read, and at last you have to make sure that there is factual data.

AHA Moments

This year February 2018, I have been followed PPG program in Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia for 2 months. There was a lot of experience. There were a lot of AHA moments when I was participating for about 2 months. AHA moment was participating in this program was when the process of discussion in the group. At that time, my friends and I had to discuss about pre-test in a group of three. We discussed it when the process of learning. We discussed a question in the group about why the answer is A or B. we had to find the right answer by searching the correct answer and give a reason why the answer is A and not B. From that time, I understood why the answer is A and not B and it was more clear when the other group share the answer of different question and give the reason. I started to understand why the answer is A not B.

The AHA moment also when we tried to make an assessment in a group and we had also made a question which is out of the text which should include students’ high order thinking skills. I also learned about how to make indicator from the KD. Then, I also got knowledge about genre based approach and scientific approach practically from one of our lecture.

There were also good moment about AHA moment or maybe it was about preparation for study. It was when we had to do an activity such us; we had to write three sentences about our self. We had to write about two sentences which true about our self and one sentence was about correct thing about our self. And share it with another friend in the classroom. So, I was thinking about using this kind of activity later in my classroom.

Another activity which I still remember was about the question that I was answer. It was consist of clues to find something in the internet with fast and efficient. So, you should put quotation about what you want to find in the internet, and there will be a list only what you want to find then the result is not more than 5 lists which provided in the internet. It was make me easy to find out the result in the internet.

I was also gave advice from my lecturer about how to focus of myself. After my lecture was giving that advice, the first thing that I realized was about to say sorry to my friend and from that day, I tried to no ask something to my friend that I can answer by myself. I try to focus on myself about something which could answer and I tried to look at the condition which maybe my friend didn’t want to disturb and didn’t want to ask. So, I just release that I have so many behavior that should be fix.  I really thank you also to my lecture, thank you so much

From the experienced, I tried to answer some question of IELTS reading, there were a lot of question in my head when I had answered the question. Some of my answered was wrong and I had to look the keys answer why the answer was wrong. And I tried to look back to question and the keys answered.  Maybe I have to try hard to answer some more questions in reading section so all the question will answer correctly.

But because there were a lot of homework, reading for preparation for UTN not space too much time from seven days in a weeks and I also had difficulties in doing PTK.

So, I think I will read a lot of thing especially read the news in BBC, British council, IELTS and also TOEFL in a weeks. Also about PTK/classroom action research, I will read a lot about it so I can find out the solution. To make the time effectively, I will read BBC in any place, anytime, and anywhere. Every place is a classroom and every person is a teacher.
