2nd Reflection

Well hello there ! welcome back J so as you can see from the top topic,  imma gonna share about my second reflections about Pedagogy in education. Hope you don’t get bored of me hihi

At the end of this February is our Pedagogy  class. So on that day, Dr. Ng told us to read the TOTTO CHAN story as an additional knowledge to us. Plus I believe that in order to improvise my English  (since im planning to majoring in Language and Literature) I have to read a lots so that I can learn new words.

    After that she taught us that to be an excellent educator, a teacher has to know how to approach to their students, it’s because every students came from different background. We cannot teach them the way we learn, we have to try to teach them the way they can learn. Eventhough you have lots of students you have get to know each of them. But not to close with them because there are ethical rule to be followed in school stated that a teacher are not allowed to have a relationship with students. This could be an advantages for me when doing my teaching practicum later right ?

Next, she also taught us that there are many ways to get approach with students such as:

• You have to acknowledge about how students learn, never point out students behaviors if they did not paying attention but ask them questions instead to know whether they are focus or not. And while asking questions, ask randomly.
•  Do not ask the same person over and over again, it should be diversity when you’re calling.
• By giving rewards for their achievements instead of punishment when they failed to answer the questions.
• Attract students attention by relating the subjects that they learn with what they are interested to, such as relating the actresess of Korean drama as a character in teaching. (quite interesting right?)
• How to deal with students bad behavior? Simple, just drag them to the deciplinary teachers. Easy.

She shared many useful tips with us in teaching, thankyou Dr.Ng J

But then, after teaching us a lessons she gave us a task to find 10 things that students do not want the educators to do.

BEFORE THAT ! have you watch this movie ? “Bad Teacher” if you haven’t yet then you MUST ! Trust me it’ll makes you laugh all the time, but still contains moral value 😉

This is based on my previous experience in school hahaha  (evil laugh) 😈

1) Being annoyed. 

- Teachers that didn't gave a chance for students to give their opinions.

2) Teachers are not allowed to used harsh words towards students.

- As a teacher, they need to be professional in solving students deciplinary problems instead of using harshwords towards them, that will make students demoralized.

3) Too stern.

- A teacher should not be too stern towards students, he/she supposed to be tolerate and understanding to them. It is because, some of the students might be afraid to give out their opinion they are not willing to study and also they will lose their intrest in study.

4) Do not give too many exercisess/homework.

- Students might be stress up, and there are big possibilities they will not going to finish their task. They prefer to be given a task in class, so that the teacher can guide them and discuss the answers together. Plus they can spend their ample time with family and get enough rest.

5) Favoritism.

- Teachers should avoid favoritism in class, like keep on calling the same persons to answer the questions. This will make the some of the students take it for granted. They didn't want to think to solve the questions because won't be asked. So they just depending on other students.

6) Lessons from text book alone.

- Just teaching the students what is dictated in the text causes boredom. Also they will miss many things like experimenting what they learned, projects and assignments. It should be entertaining to attract students attention.

7) Yelling.

- Most of the students hate being scolded infront the others, this will cause them to slowly dislike the teacher and may result in distrust too.Students will more listen to you, when you speak in a normal voice.

8) Sit Down during entire class.

- Sitting down through an entire class is just not appropriate. This will lead to boredom to students, and believe me, some of the students will fall asleep during class at the back side.

9) Correcting students frequently.

- It is okay to correct your students on the spot while they were talking, but not too frequently. Because this will lead to embarassment to them. It's better to write down mistakes during the exercise and then give them corrections after they finish speaking.

10) Don't read while teaching.

- This keep happens in history subject, most of teachers prefer to read instead of explaining it effectively such as using the white board and write short notes instead of reading all of those paragraph. The students might lose their interest and will get bored.

I guess, that's it. see ya on the next reflection ! Leave your comments and thoughts, i will reply it as soon as i can 😊
