Purposes of Practicums
The purpose of this teaching program is to provide opportunities for students as a future teachers to improve their teaching (pedagogical) skills, how to manage the classroom, handle the students, and learn new cultures from other countries. Another purposes of this program is to prepare better teachers in the future who are able to compete in a global world, with better quality in attitude and intellectual.
Procedures of Practicums
The first thing that we have to do is following several orientation, start from campus orientation and then followed by the school orientation. After that, we got a classroom observations, doing an assistanship work, creates a lesson plan and then conducting independent teaching, following grand teaching demonstration and giving feedback or input suggestions.
Outcomes of Practicums
The student teacher gets the knowledge and experience of being a good teacher, how to teach, how to manage the classroom condition, how to deliver a material with a good method and new experience about how to interact with the new people. Philippines culture also becomes a new thing that we got, about the food, vehicles, culture, places, and any other.
Challenges of the Practicums
What's really challenging here is about the language, teaching method, and culture shock. This is my first time to do a teaching practice in a school, even more in the different country, with different language and different culture.
Overall Impression
I am very happy to be a part of SEA-Teacher batch 6. I can gain a lot of experiences, learn new culture, new family, and an un-forgot-able memories.
Suggestion for Future Improvements
I hope that the receiving universities can improving the accomodation of transportation. Because, it is very difficult for us (SEA-Teacher participants) if we want to go somewhere by our self in a new country, just by using our braveness and the Gmaps.
