The Return

I'll be back soon.

OVERALL TEACHING PRACTICE REPORT

I am hereby submitting my overall report about my teaching practice at two schools.

1. SEKOLAH MENENGAH PEHIN DATU SERI MAHARAJA:

I chose this school in my first semester. The school administration accepted me to do my teaching practice here. They gave me year 8 C' class. The time was from 10.00 a.m to 11.30 a.m three periods. I did not take any leave during my teaching practice time at SMPDSM. I reached there before 7.30 and stayed until 12.30 as a regular teacher would. Once I entered I signed in the time and date on the paper provided and before leaving I signed again the time as regular teachers do.

The class teacher of year 8C taught every thing in advance because she was pregnant at that time. So, I taught them on how to create 'gmail' and 'blog'. Besides I helped the class teacher for revision.

I did not get much teaching experience in SMPDSM but I observed others while they were teaching their students in the lab.

The Senior Mistress in charge of academic matters Cg. Hjh Fathima asked me to observe everything about the school like school atmosphere etc. So, I am now well acquainted with the entire school enviromnment. If I need anything I just verify from Cg. Fathima.

The SMPDSM principal Hjh Azizah was a very friendly person. Sometime she asked me to read the 'Holy Quran' in the morning with her. If there is any party she would ask me to come and join in. She treated me as one of the teachers of her school.

Overall I gained some experieces from there.



2. SEKOLAH MENENGAH SULTAN SHARIF ALI:


My second semester I changed my school because of the clash of timetable. I approached this school for TP. They accepted me and gave two different classes for teaching and one class for observation and to assist the class teacher Cg. Rafidah.

Form 1A: 7.30 a.m to 8.00a.m
Form 1K: 8.30 a.m to 9.30 a.m (modified)
Form 5 : 11.30a.m to 12.30 a.m (modified PMV stge 2)

The timetable was arranged by the Deputy principal Hjh. Nuraini. If she see me then she would ask me about my TP and so on. She was a very flexible and kind person. The school administration arranged a punch card for me every month.

I gained a lot of experience from this school because I was scheduled to teach more classes. My HOD Cg. Hjh Hadifah observed me every week first period of class 1A. Then she gave me feedback on the UBD form and explained to me about her report.

She gave me 4 reports on UBD form and gave the white copy to me. She is a very nice and quiet lady and she always smiled. I finished my last teaching practice and went to see the the H.O.D to bid good bye and asked if she wanted to ask me anything because I would not be coming back to the school. She said everything is okay and she was very happy and then she went inside and came back with a present for me.

Cg. Rafidah was a newly appointed teacher. She would inform me in advance on what lesson to teach because she is the class who was teaching the classes every saturday.

I liked the school and the atmosphere and so on.

4. ABOUT MY BLOGS:

Blogger:

I like to use blogspot.com for my teaching practice and assignments. My whole semester(I &II) reports are here.

Scribd:

I upload my lesson plan and other documents in scribd.com because it is convenient for uploading a large amount of documents and different kinds of documents.

5. PHOTOS AND VIDEOS:

I took some photos and videos in all of my classes but I uploaded only a few photos because students misbehaved in some classes and so I did not upload some photos.


6. STUDENTS' OUTCOMES:

My year 7A performed very well and my year 7K learned more through lab practices. I gave a lot of chance to do a individual practice in lab for my year 7K class.


7. CONCLUSION:

From my teaching practice I got different experiences from both schools. My UBD mentor observed me at both schools.

Over all I enjoyed my teaching practice and gained extra teaching skills and knowledge.

8. THANK YOU:

I thank both the schools and the school administration and my mentors/co-operating teachers/lecturers for having guided me in my quest to become a responsible and efficient teacher to serve the pupils of Brunei Darussalam.

TP REPORT:


On the last day of Teaching practice, I reached the school as usual. I punched my card in the admin office and headed towards the computer lab where I passed my lesson plan to the HOD.

Lesson for 1A: (7.30 to 8.00)

Today we (class teacher cg. Rafidah and I) arranged a revision test for the students. The questions were set from the topic 'Output devices' which had been covered recently. After greeting the students I passed the question papers to my students and asked them to try to answer individually. I asked them to sit some distance away from each other. They followed my instructions quietly and began to answer the test.

The question paper was of five pages and those questions were like choose, fillups and puzzle(across and down).

The students foundout the answers. Some questions were made deliberately to confuse them. The time was not enough for them to think. So, I asked them to continue the work at home as a homework and find the anwers themselves.

Lesson for 1K: (8.30 to 9.30)

I booked the lab no. 2 for 1K students because there were 16 students. Today's lesson was the continuation of Microsoft Word and the students practiced their activities.

Today I focussed on how to edit, copy and insert text into their documents and how to use the clip board in a Microsoft Word document and I taught them how to use control+home, ctrl+end keys and its functions.

Then I let the students try these functions while typing a documents. I asked them to type two paragraph without mistakes and explore the ribbon functions in Microsoft Word.

Most of the students did their work succesfully and 4 students needed my help to finish their work.

Year 7A lesson plan.


PMV stage 2: (11.30 to 12.30)

I assisted Cg. Rafidah in this class. The students were restless, especially the boys. Two boys were trying to sleep. I asked the students if they were bored? One of the students said, "No teacher". But they would not pay attention to the lesson being taught by the class teacher.

Once the lesson finished, the class teacher immediately asked them to do some excersice related to the topic and she told them to verify the answers from the notes.

11th day

Today I reached my school before the HOD and punched in my punch card in the administration office. I was waiting outside the laboratory. Later the HOD came and opened the lab. I passed my lesson plan to the HOD. Since the class teacher was busy it was just the HOD and I.

This week's teaching practice was the continuation of the topic on “Output devices”.which had been started by the subject teacher. I just continued my part in output devices such as printer, speaker and lights. In today’s lesson, the objective is to teach students how to exlore the functions and advantages of output devices.

Lesson for year 7A:

My HOD sat infront of the IWB and observed my teaching techniques. I did not bring any form to fillup but the HOD had some UBD forms and she wrote something and gave me. I brought an original cartridge to show the students and brought my students to relate the real world. I asked some questions about the different types of printers and printouts and cartridges etc Because I need to check the students prerequisite competencies.
After finishing my lesson I asked some questions and the students answered correctly. Students enjoyed the lesson.

Lesson for year 7K:

Today I start a new lesson for year 7 K in Lab 2 which is quiet big. The objective of the lesson was mainly focused on how to open a Microsoft Word and prepare documents and how to save the documents and how to reopen the documents and how to use the toolbar etc. I already taught the shortcut keys and how to rename, delete and permanently delete the files from the Recycle bin. The lesson was quite an easy one. The students understood and explored by themselves.
The lesson was of 30 minute duration. After that I let the students practice the Microsoft word. I asked them to type computer notes and save the documents.The students succesfully saved the files under their own names.

Today I reached the school as usual. I passed my lesson plan to my HOD.

Lesson for year 7A: (7.30 to 8.00)

I taught input devices (automatic) for my year 7A class. The sub topic was Magentic Ink Character Recognition Reader (MICR) and Optical Mark Reader. I brought few original cheques for the students to see and understand about magentic ink which is used to write in the cheque leaves for cheque number, area code and account number. I showed some pictures using power point slides related to this lesson.

The students were very happy. My HOD who observed me as usual was very happy too with the lesson..
