3.  Outcomes of Practicum

From practicum I gained a lot of experience and new knowledge. I can observe when teachers teach in the Philippines which is different from in Indonesia. So that I can make a good example to be practiced in Indonesia. Every day and every time using English makes my English speaking skills develop, I get a lot of new vocabulary. I am very happy because it is welcomed by the teacher and students so that I feel comfortable when speaking and teaching students in class. Although our English accents are different, but I can adjust to students when teaching so that cultural differences are not a barrier to continue to do good. I share my knowledge about teaching and sharing curricula in Indonesia with teachers in the Philippines, so that it can be a very memorable experience and will not be forgotten.

4.  The Challenges of Practicum

The challenges while joining this program are languages. Because different English accents sometimes make it difficult to interpret, but over time it can be overcome. In addition, when they use their local language it is not fully understood even though there are several words that are similar to Indonesian, but from this problem I can learn their local language so that I can add new language vocabulary.

5.  Overall Impression

Overall, I am very fortunate and thank God Almighty for granting my prayers to take part in this program that I have dreamed of. In addition, I thank SEAMEO for organizing this program so that it can give me the opportunity to follow it. Do not forget, I thank my family and friends who have provided support and always pray for the best for me. Finally, I thank Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University, Mariano Marcos State University, and the MMSU Laboratory Elementary School for accepting me to take part in the program, provide training and take care of me while in the Philippines. Lots of experience and learning that I get because this is my first experience to teach abroad so that I will always remember and practice in Indonesia.

6.  Suggestions for Future Improvement

a.  For Mariano Marcos State University and Laboratory Elementary School MMSU

Your service to me is very good, you take care and always provide solutions when I get into trouble. I also really appreciate your excellent English and want to appreciate the differences in accent and culture from Indonesia. You can take good learning from me and practice it in the Philippines, such as culture, learning strategies or methods and media that I practice.

b.  For SEAMEO

The program that you are holding is very good and I hope that this program will continue and the program time can be even longer, so that more Indonesian students have experience so that they can advance education in Indonesia. Always success for SEAMEO.

Observation on teachers

CHAPTER 5

Observation on teachers

1.  Planning for Teaching

The teacher will prepare lesson plans, assignments and media before starting to teach in class. In addition, the teacher prepares learning resources from books and the internet as a complement to deliver the material. If the teacher will display media in the form of video then the teacher also prepares a laptop, sound system and LCD projector.

2.  Preparing Lesson and Materials

Before teaching in class, teachers look for learning resources from books and the internet and study the material, and make assignments for group or individual work and make quizzes and evaluations to give to students.

3.  Teaching in Class

The steps of learning undertaken by the teacher are first the teacher gives greetings to students and checks the presence of students, after that the teacher reviews the previous learning, then the teacher gives motivation to students related to the material to be delivered. The next step is the teacher starts explaining the material by conducting question and answer to students related to the material and then giving assignments to the students, if there is an experiment assignment, the students prepare the experiment material and the teacher guides students to conduct the experiment by conducting question and answer and students are active in answering questions from the teacher. Finally the teacher gives an evaluation or homework to students.

4.  Measurement and Evaluation

To measure and evaluate students' understanding of the material, the teacher gives quizzes, worksheets, group assignments, individual assignments, weakly tests, midterm examinations and final examinations.

3.  Problem-Solving

The problem solving that I give to students through worksheets that are worked in groups so that students can discuss problems with their peers, after that students present the results of the discussion and compare their answers with other groups. In this case, I want students to be active in finding knowledge based on experience gained through group work so that the material obtained will be meaningful to students.

4. Classroom Management

At Mariano Marcos State University Laboratory Elementary School the time given for one time teaching is only 60 minutes for one subject section, so the time is very short to convey new material obtained by students. Therefore, I must condition students to remain calm and focused to keep listening to the material I describe, as a motivation for students to stay focused and active I provide caracter stamps for students who actively answer questions from me, it is useful for students to listen to the material with seriously because students are motivated to get rewards from me. When I teach classes IV and VI, students are very active and enthusiastic to answer questions from me and understand the material that I submit.

Pedagogical Contents

CHAPTER 2
Pedagogical Contents

1.    Teaching Methods

The learning method used at Mariano Marcos State University Laboratory Elementary School especially in grades IV, V, and VI is a student-center, because the teacher does not only explain the learning material but allows students to be active through questions and answers, discussions, individual assignments and group work. The teacher only briefly explains the material by displaying videos or writing the material on the board after it forms a group for discussion and work on the assignment. Before teaching, the teacher prepares lesson plans and learning media so that learning is more interesting. The learning method practiced by teachers is in accordance with the applicable curriculum in the Philippines, namely the K-12 Curriculum.

2.    Learning Materials and Innovation

In the Philippines, books used by teachers are still separated based on subject matter, such as Mathematics, Science, English, Filipino, MAPEH, and so on. In delivering the material, besides using learning materials from books, the teacher also complements the material from the internet and develops learning media so that students are interested in the material taught by the teacher.

3.    Sources of Learning and Technology

Based on the K-12 curriculum in the Philippines which requires teachers to be creative and innovative, so teachers use the learning materials that are owned by the school library to teach because some textbooks in the library are published by the government. In addition, the teacher also prepares learning media that follows the development of technology such as displaying videos or music that is displayed using LCD projectors and sound systems for

4.    Authentic Assessment

Assessments used by teachers variative, the teacher assesses students based on cognitive like when students succeed in answering questions from the teacher, doing assignments and correct when answering the quiz, the teacher will give a grade. Besides the teacher also observes the attitude of students when the learning process by assessing the affective students. Finally, when students present the results of the discussion the teacher will give a psychomotor value. The teacher will give grades to students according to what students have done.
