Teaching Practice

1.1  Procedures of Teaching

I am started teaching on Monday, August 20^th 2018 in classes 5/1, 5/2 and 5/3 on the five senses material. Before starting the lesson, I am introduced myself to students and greeted students. After that, I am telling the material to be studied today. Then, I ask students to play games that is guessing objects and friends with some activities. Before starting games, I am divided students into 5 groups each group has 7 to 8 students.

Students play games to guessing their friends by touching face.

The first group will do games that is guessing their friends by touching their friend’s faces, the first group was study about the function of Hand/Skin. The second group did games guessing their friends by listening to the sounds of their friends, the second group related to ear function. The third group performed games guessing objects by smelling the scent of the object, this group was related to the function of the nose. The fourth group doing games guessing objects by feeling the taste of the object, this group is related to the function of the tongue. The fifth group doing games guessing objects from a picture, this group is related to eye function. If students fail to guess correctly then I give punishment in the form of put powder on students face. This game aims to enable students to recognize and know the function of five senses. After the game was finished, then I am ask students to work on the worksheet and workbook until the end of the lesson.

The next teaching practice was on Tuesday, August 21^st 2018 on grades 5/2 and 5/3, and Wednesday, August 22^nd 2018 at grade 5/1. In this learning, I am teaching about the future that is introducing them to some work they can do in the future. Before starting learning, I am greeted students. Next, I present some pictures of work accompanied by names in English and Thai so students can easily understand. Then, I gave the worksheet students to draw their future. When finished, I ask students to play games that is guessing the work based on pictures drawn alternately by the students and the last student will guess the picture. This game is done in groups, I divide students into four groups. Each group has 10 students.

The next teaching practice I did on Monday 27^th August 2018. I did not teach on Thursday and Friday because I am followed student activities at the temple for two days, so I delayed teaching time on Monday. In this learning, I am taught about the seasons to students in grades 5/1, 5/2 and 5/3. Learning begins by saying greetings and then asking the attendance of students and then starting to explain about teaching materials using powerpoint presentation. After finishing the presentation, then I ask students to work on the workbook. After finished workbook, I ask students to play games. This game aims to test student’s understanding by finding a partner based on the cards held by students. I divided students into two large groups, each group of 20 people. The first group I gave was the question card, the second group I gave the answer card. Next, I ask students to look for their partners based on the available cards. If students have found their partner, students are asked to sit down. Students who cannot find and have a partner who is wrong to get punishment are put powder on student’s face.

1.2  Time Management and Organizing Activities

The duration of teaching is 50 minutes, during that time I have to teach, play games and work on workbooks/worksheets so that sometimes the time is lacking. This has happened when I taught five senses material in grade 5/2, students did not have time to work on the workbook that I had planned in the lesson plan. That can be happened because, when starting learning students enter the class late after completing the other classes. So that the time is reduced.

  

1.3  Problem-Solving

The biggest problem that I have is when students don't understand what I said, so the student's response is very slow when I explain. Students will understand if teacher bowling has been translated. But, to overcome these problems I included the material that I taught in Thai language accompanied by pictures so that the problem could be resolved. The learning that I do always uses group learning, because in my opinion grade 5 students have been able to work together well, and can help each other if their friends have difficulty understanding the lesson.

1.4  Classroom Management

         The learning that I do always uses group learning, because in my opinion grade 5 students have been able to work together well, and can help each other if their friends have difficulty understanding the lesson. When the students finished their workbook, teacher go around to see student’s work and help some student if the student needed.
