The beginning of “unknown”: the expectations.

What is exactly about the humanistic studies? What will I learn? How is Pak Hatim? These questions were come up on my mind at that time. Honestly, when I heard that the lecturer of this course will be taken by Pak Hatim, I was thinking that it was nightmare for me, means that the class will be awkward and serious.But I was wrong then, and I hope it’s true. And the course it self (read: humanistic)sounds pretty heavy for me. On my understanding the humanistic is a kind of study which is concern in personal and moral value. Those are not wrong but the perfect one is this course is like personal development for teacher candidates and will be concern in some multiculturalism and religions issues. This is sounds really interesting for me although a bit sensitive. Through this course I wish I will know more what are beyond the multiculturalism and the other religions. This is the beginning of knowing something new, the “unknown” things that will be known by me later on. And I wish my little crazy family (section c) will be in peacefully situation during this course. For me as a teacher candidates, I hope I can applied all the lesson that I’ve got to prepared myself to be a good teacher who loves and appreciate the diversity \^,^/.

This is the way I see the diversity around me.

Actually, I am typically person who is not strict to what I believe in, in this case is the existential of God. You know what, every single person has their own faith so what a suck the people out there that had conflicts even killing another people who are not in one track with them? Sounds silly and really what, I don’t know the right words for this one. I really hate it! We live in 21^st century right now, why there are still on their obsolete-view to face the diversity around them?

For me diversity is beautiful things whether in culture or in religion. Diversity is enriching our culture. There’s no something wrong with that, it just depends on our perspective to see the diversity. In SSE I have so many friends with their unique culture, their characteristics, and their own faith. I love the way they behave to me, they respect every single person who are different with them. I feel like has my little own world in SSE. Live in peace is beautiful, right?

p.s.: I have something that I want to know more further which is about the Judas, Palestine and Israel. Can we have a little discussion about those things? *_*. Thankies anyway and see ya in the next reflection journal ^^

Technology for Teaching and Learning (TLL)

We are digital natives but we are not robotic educated.

This is my reflection for this course. Mr. Teguh, you know me so well that I’m not a typical girl who loves writing and blogging but now I wrote down for you, just because of you (read: only for get A). OK, do not take it seriously.

Well, I will recall what I’ve got from two sessions. Now just watch it, because I will told you about my previous experience. I had a precious moments with the technology especially computer. You guys, please answer my question HONESTLY. What  grade are you when got the ICT lesson? And I will answer it proudly: I got the ICT lesson since I still in 4^th  grader of elementary school. Really cool, isn’t it? I had learnt about microsoft word, excel and painting. The amazing one is, at that time I did the “if” formula in excel, count the salary and etc., while in Microsoft word I typed some literatures like as in newspaper. When I was in 6^th grade, my English teacher started to use computer as a tool for teaching the vocabulary by showed the pictures and the students have to answer it then typed it on the computer. It was really fun.  In high school, mostly I learnt software for accounting such as MYOB and accurate. Lucky I am my high school is international school so the techno-tools for teaching and learning are pretty complete. Even now, for the multimedia major every student got one laptop.

Thank you for reading a brief story about my experiences using techno. Well it’s my turn to summarize what I’ve got from two sessions.  The beginning of the TLL, Mr. Teguh told us about a brief history of technology which is concern about the language learning or called as CALL. What is CALL, is it a kind of cell phone? No, it was Computer Assisted Language Learning and it has 3 main stages. The first is behavioristic which is concern in accuracy through drill and practice, second is communication which is concern in fluency through communicative exercise and the last is integrative CALL which is concern in students’ role. Students are expected to be an agent of their study. This is what we used until today. The next step is discussed about the advantages and disadvantages from technology.

Technology, in this case CALL brings many advantages for education world especially for second language learner.  Students can study more independently and give them the options to work on their material 24 hours. How about your boyfriend, can he/she provided one day full for you? So, from now on, give more love to your gadget! Moreover, it provides a lot of fun games and communicative learning and of course it can enhance student motivation, and then look for the achievement I think it will be enhance too.  Well, let’s discuss about the advantages from CALL. First, computer cannot handle unexpected situations, second the benefits of computer technology for those who are not familiar with computer are inexistent, and the third some software for language learning are still under develop maybe still imperfect. Something new, fresh and sophisticated a.k.a technologies has taken the important role for language learning nowadays, but remember it was created and development by human so there was no perfect technology because we know that perfectness only God who has it. We are digital native but, we are not robotic oriented only can operated by machine and the commands. Remember, we are human are so special. We have our machine too (read: brain), we have a storage words also in our mental lexicon. We are the next generation of teacher needs the brilliant idea for our better edu-world. We need innovation that only comes up on our mind. Technology only tools to help us get easier for teaching and learning.

Reflection of PETA

1^st E-reflection

Principles of Effective Teaching and Assessment

This is my first e-reflection toward PETA. The first thing I noticed about this one is I had not any idea about what will I learnt on this course, and how the lecturer will be teach me? How can I survive in the middle of crazy, silly friends? Well, do not take seriously about the last question of mine because it just appears from a part-somewhere in my brain.

A little bit opening (again), I just want to tell you guys that I got a new lecturer. Her name.. ummm actually I do not remember about her complete name but her nick name is Miss. Inne. She was from Kupang, NTT, she is so kind and I will meet her every Tuesday in this whole semester. 

 

I love Tuesday.

I love PETA.

And I love you Miss. Inne ! :D

Teacher. why, what and how.

Becoming a teacher is out of my plan for the future at that time. But now, I am a part of SSE. I am one of SSE student and why I am here? Is it really my real purposes to become a teacher?

I am here because it’s my passion to become a great teacher, a different teacher.

Yes, this is one of my life purposes to be a teacher.

Why I wanna become a teacher? Who inspired me to be a teacher?

Because I want to make people cleverer than me, better than me, richer than me, and I do not want to look more Indonesian students who do not know what is alphabet and what is number. Miss. Inne had told us to tell who inspired you to be a teacher. I wrote on my paper, no one inspired me. Is it true? Then I turned back my memories and who was in my head is “Riyani Djangkaru”. You guys, have you ever heard about her? Yap, she is one of reporter for the reality show “Jejak Petualang”. Actually it does not have a correlation with a teacher but she really cares about the children who live in the forest. She taught them how to read and how to write. Physically, she is not a real teacher, but now I understand that everyone can be a teacher. Everyone who shares their knowledge to other is a teacher also. I really admire her. At that time maybe I did not think that I will be a teacher one day, but now I realized, those children needs a teacher and it’s me 

What kind of teacher that needed?

A good teacher is an effective teacher with the effective teaching. Miss. Inne has told me about this one. On the previous session, I and my friends have a gallery walk and the topic is what is effective teacher and effective teaching. We are divided into group and we have to discuss about that. So, after discussed and have a gallery walk I got my own understanding about the effective teacher. Effective teacher is a teacher who can handle the class, has a good time management, has a lesson plan, prepared the material before teaching, good role-mode for students, understand what students want, use various way to teach, doesn’t make sleepy and boring, doesn’t applied the physical punishment has a good system to assess their students fairly, the teacher able to deliver the lesson clearly and in appropriately ways and so on. While the effective teaching is when the class is conducive, there’s a class agreement, use PBL and SCL (student centered learning), discipline (both of teacher and student) and so on.

How I could be a teacher like that?

After I know the theory, now it’s my turning point to make it real. Trying to understand it deeply and applied it later in teaching assistant. And do not forget that I have to believe in myself, I could be a good teacher.
