In the forth week of our micro teaching class, there were some of my classmates who practiced their group teaching. I could learn from them how to be a good teacher. What I learned here was not exactly from their teaching but from the comment that given by Pak Prast and from the students who observed my classmates’ performances at that time. Some important things that I could learn during the forth week were: how to behave as a teacher in front of the class, how to interact with the students during teaching-learning process, how to maintain my voice when I am teaching.
Why I mention those three things as the important things that I have to learn? If I noticed from my friends’ performances, those three important aspects were not really be paid attention to. From our group practicing teaching I realize that there are so many things that we as beginning teachers should improve. Such as those three things that I mentioned before, how to show the focus of our teaching material, how to attract students’ attention, etc.
From the group teaching that I noticed, sometimes there was no clear instruction, whereas clear instruction helped the student to understand the lesson and participate more on it. Beside that, the material also to high for the level of student that they chose to teach. Those all the things that I noticed from the group teaching. From the weaknesses that we had during the group teaching, I realize that I myself should learn more and improve my teaching skill.
