Assignment Presentation - Micro Teaching (Week 6)

Greetings to everyone. How are you all? I hope you all are great this week. I am great too because I have done with my Assignment 2 for Pedagogy in Education paper. Well, it wasn't turn out to be a good feedback yet I manage to present my level best because i remembered the quote that my lecturer always say to us: 'Even it's a last minute preparation, just give out the best'.

Very well, the assignment question is to do three sets of lesson plan by choosing any of the school of thought that we have learnt in the previous classes. Then, out of that three lesson plans we should choose one and present it to the class by doing micro teaching which means teach as how we planned for 30 minutes in the class. First of all, micro teaching means that we need to teach a small group of students assuming that they are the real school students who are going to face in the future. It helps the students to experience how teaching would be in front of a real classroom environment. 

In my assignment, I have chosen the cognitive school of thought because it was easy to plan the lesson as it requires a lot of thinking skills. I have put in almost all the approaches in my lesson plan and begin with the assignment. The three lesson plans was about English language class with 30 students in it. The students were mixed up with different abilities as seen poor, average and good. I have planned the activities accordingly and I have put in a lot of activities for the students to answer and participate. 

Since i presented about my first lesson plan which is about Friends. I gave the students an activity called Hangman. It was fun playing with my friends assuming that they are the group of secondary school students. 

Ever since, this was my first micro teaching, I was too nervous to stand in front of the classroom as a teacher. Some how, I managed to complete my 30 minutes with whatever I have planned. There were some place where I forgot to give the exact instructions to the students. When I realize it, I thought my world going to end. I was in that kind of situation. 

Finally, my lecturer gave the feedback where I should improve myself and the lesson plan I did. As what she had mentioned I missed some instructions in some places, I didn't really praised my students for giving the correct answers, the fluency wasn't there when I present and I need to improve in my teaching skill because it was totally a teacher-centered teaching approach not student-centered. 

I really appreciated whatever comments that I got from my lecturer because it helps me in some ways to improve myself. That's all about my micro teaching for today. Thank you for spending your precious time by reading my post. Have a nice day. Until we meet again, I'm Durasheeny signing out from the blog. Thank you.
