Reflection School Experience Program (UET: Written)

Monday, April 2, 2012 school experience for the even semester was hold until April, 12, 2012. For this moment, the 4th semester students became the assistant teacher. And for this moment, I got SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jakarta as the school partner. In the first week of school experience, we observed some class in X grade. There are observe about how students learn, how the teachers teach and how the learning process work. In my observation, I got some unique experiences from this school. I think it is a nice school with variance students included students who decline Javanese, Sudanese, Ambone, Arabian and Chinese. And if I looked from the system, this school is applying acceleration students. It is mean on the first semester, students was begun to divide into group class. The acceleration class (SCI), science class (IA) and social class (IS) where is each class consist of different level of achievement. So, if I enter in acceleration class, I met with the smart students. Then, when I enter to the social class, I met with lazier students.

Monday, April 9, 2012 is first day I was teach in X.IA.2. It is a nice class with active students. This class consisted of 16 students, so I could handle this class very well. In the begin of learning process, I tried to grab the student's attention. In this session, Mr. D as a teacher of Mathematics asked me to teach about Trigonometry. Then I begin to review some of the  prior knowledge’ students about Pythagoras Theorems. In the end of learning process, Mr. D asked me to give some exercise, but in fact, I gave exercise too hard. Mr. D said when I gave exercise, I must give the example at first. Then, I must try to give easily problems in step by step increase to difficulties. Mr. D also said that I must explain in neat. So the students can understand more easily.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012, in peer teaching I collect my spirit to enter in the X.IA.2 classes again. In this session, Mr. D asked us to make sure all the preparation (the tool, mastering the content and approaching method). Until the class end, my lesson plan’s work in well. All activity is work, and the students can solve some difficult problem. I have some obstacle when to handle the students, but my peer helped me. Finally, what I plan work in well.
