The Beginning of My Actual Teaching Practices (Week date: 05 - 09 Feb 2018)

 I.         My Significant Experiences
Monday, 5 February I hadn’t started my actual teaching practices because the classes that I would teach still had a quiz. First class was 9D (8:10 – 9:10 am). So, I stayed at the back of classroom to help Ma’am Donna handle the class. But one accident happened when the students were doing the quiz, the building shakes for less than one minute. I thought my chair was shaken by someone but I was wrong, evidently the earthquake happened. The students told Ma’am Donna, “Ma’am, earthquake, Ma’am”. Ma’am Donna didn’t feel the earthquake so she asked the students to don’t be panic. Then she looked at the outside and the other classes but no one go out from the classroom, so the students continued the quiz. After quiz finished, a male teacher came and said that the activities of that day suspended and all students were asked to go home because of earthquake. So, only one class finished the quiz on that day.

Picture 1. The students were asked to go home because the schedule suspended because of the earthquake.

Tuesday, 6 February 2018 actually was my first day of actual teaching but the schedule was changed because of accident the day before, so that day still continued the quiz activity to others classes, that were 9A and 9B.

Wednesday (7 February 2018) I had two schedules, 9A at the first period and 9B at last period. I started teaching at 8:10 until 8:40 am in 9A, only 30 minutes because that class would have a guidance practice. Then I came back to the attic and waited for 3:30 pm to the schedule of teaching in 9D. When I was entering the class my heart beats very hard, maybe I was nervous but I could handle it. Then I taught, gave the new topic and explaining the examples, and finally the first “one hour” of teaching alone ran well. I was so happy and I hoped that the students understood the lesson that was given by me.

Thursday and Friday (8 and 9 February 2018) I enjoyed my work, I loved to be a math teacher and no nervous anymore. Luckily, the students were clever and diligent so they could accept my explanation easily then if I gave them the other sample problems they could solve it. Even if they found the difficulties they want to ask me. On Friday I taught 3 classes, I gave them the drills and divided them into 10 groups and asked them to answer my questions together with their group. I was so happy because the students participated actively in the class.

 II.            Problems Un-conferred
·      I felt a bit worry because I haven’t started the teaching until Tuesday, even my friends taught already at their classes.
·      Suddenly Ma’am Donna asked me to give the exercise for students to review the topics that I had given, I confused because I didn’t know what drill that would I give to them.
In this week, I didn’t find a lot of difficulties or problems because I enjoyed already with my activities in this school

III.       Problems Hurdled
·         It was okay if I only started the teaching on Wednesday because that was an accident that made me didn’t teach on Tuesday.
·         About the drills, I made it the night before I gave the exercise to students. I worked until night, and slept for 3 hours was enough for me. The case taught me that we have to be professional worker whenever wherever and I loved it.
