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.
