1.3 Problem Solving
Problems and misunderstanding between students and teachers inside the classroom is natural to occur, so every time there is a concern from one of the students I always consult my cooperating teacher on what to do about it. I ask for her advise on what to do on that kind of situations and how to deal with it better, the next time it happens. I always talk to the students about discipline and respect to each other to avoid any kind of problem between them and me also.
1.4 Classroom Management
The students already have a routine activity before and after the class. Before starting the class there is a student already assigned to stand on the center, to lead the prayer and greeting the teachers. When it is after the class there still a leader in praying and saying goodbye to the teachers. The students automatically pick up all the piece of thrash around their chairs and tidy their seats. They put their seat upside down the table and the assigned cleaner for the day will tidy up the room before leaving.
In managing the students noise they do the Attention! Call and the students will answer ready but sometimes the students answer but they keep being noisy so I teach them a call that will make them quiet. When I say tiga they will zip their mouth, dua is for covering the mouth and satu is removing the hands from their mouth. The one who will not do this will stand at the center to do it together with the other students. Somewhat the call works for the students and they become quiet when we do it.
1.5 Others
After teaching in class I realize and learn a lot of things. Teaching students who have a different language than me is really a challenging and at the same time an enjoyable thing to do. I feel really happy when there are students who ask me questions and displaying understanding of the lesson, I thought them. When there are other students who have difficulty in understanding the lesson, I feel challenge and really want them to be one of the students who understand and enjoy the lesson. Teaching is a very fulfilling thing to do, when the students display learning and understanding of the lesson, I made effort to present. Teaching is not an easy task especially with language barrier but it is fulfilling to do.
