Observation on Teacher

A.      Planning for Teaching
During the observation phase, I observed for a week about how my mentor (teaching science) in preparing learning every day. Regarding his lesson planning, Sir Albert makes daily logs for his teaching materials every day (from Monday to Thursday). And every Thursday there will be an evaluation to find the students during the week of study. Here is the daily log of Sir Albert.

B.       Preparing Lesson and Materials

Regarding his everyday preparation for teaching, before teaching Sir Albert always checks his daily log and prepare textbooks and materials that can be used by students to learn. Sir Albert always prepares various real objects to teach a concept or topic to students before he teaches in class. In preparing the lessons and materials that will be given to the students, I think Sir Albert is not  pressured because he might have had the experience to teach on the same topics.


C.      Measurement and Evaluation

Furthermore, regarding measurement and evaluation, Sir Albert always targets that these activities will be conducted every Thursday. For assessments every day, Sir Albert usually assigns tasks in the form of group work assignments and assignments.



D.      Teaching in Class
Moving on to how he teach in class, he always starts by reviewing the subject matter that has been learned on the previous day (review stage). After that, he will undertake aspiration (motivation stage) to prepare students mentally before entering the main lesson of the day to be studied. I think this is a good practice in teaching. Furthermore, he will present the main material to be studied within the presentation stage. In a flowing manner, he will bring students into the discussion stage. He always asks questions related to daily life and invites students to think critically. And after the lesson ends, he will give homeworks to his students and will gather the next day.

Observing his teaching style/strategy, I think he is relaxed and he always brings materials, flowing discussions, and always associates with the real life of the students. He also uses a contextual approach in teaching a topic to students so that the lessons received by students will be felt in real life. He also invites students to discuss by throwing various questions that make students think reasoning / critical, and in my opinion this is very good for developing critical thinking patterns to the students. He also encourages group-based learning and learning by the method of learning by doing. In explaining the topic or lesson for the day, he only relied on blackboards, textbooks, and objects that were around.
