For the fourth week I will do the demons teaching. following details report:

1.      Teaching Pratice

1.1. Procedures of teaching

I was assigned by my cooperating teacher to teach in grade 11 with the topic was probability especially about Introducing to Hypothesis Testing. My cooperating teacher gave me 20 hours/week for the teaching practicum. Before entering the class, I prepared some of materials such as lesson plan, student activity, worksheet, Power point and some of markers. My cooperating teacher also help me to provide all of the thing included print my lesson plan, student activity and worksheet.

I used Cooperative Learning with Problem Solving type and scientific approach for this lesson and used teaching system was the student-centered learning which is students will be able to explore and to build their own knowledge beside the teacher acts as a facilitator to improve students’ knowledge. 

1.2. Time management and organizing activites

According to Cooperative Learning with Problem Solving type and scientific approach, I was divided time allocation for the learning in the class by 3 part. First was an opening activity, second was the main activity, and the last was the closing activity.

In the opening activity, students greeted me. Then I told them about topic of the day and purposes of studying probability and I gave some apperception about the topic that we will learn and motivation why we should to learn about the topic?

In the main activity, I used the power point to explain them about the materials then I provided some example and asked them to try to solve the problem together. After a few minutes, we discussed together the solution for the problem. I also gave them some adding problems to make them more understand about the topic. At last, I gave them a problem that who the first done it would get the special price from me, and they did it seriously. 

 In the closing activity, I asked the students about their understanding of material. Then I closed the lesson.

1.3. Problem Solving

While they were doing the student activity, if there were some of problem they can discussed it to me. Sometimes the students can’t understand well when I speak in English because we had difference pronunciation, but then my cooperating teacher would give them the adding explanation in Tagalog.

1.4. Classroom management

According to the situation and condition in the classroom, sometimes the students would be a little bit noisy because there were 55 students in one class. But, I told them about my hand symbol of keeping silent which I always use in Indonesia. They understood it, so that, when they was noisy, I just gave them the hand symbol and my cooperating teacher also help me to manage the class.

It also will be my last week in this school. I learned many things here and I got many experiences of being a teacher in this TIP Senior High School. I also thank to my cooperating teacher that always teach and help me in the classroom to know and getting more knowledge.

It will be a very precious experience ever for me to be a future teacher. ^_^
