Team Teaching in School Experience
Created by: Dian Ayu Utami
Teaching in Senior High School is challenging. Why? It's because they are already in a bold move to deliver something more bluntly. In the first week in school experience, I found many things that I can pick up the postive point and fix the negative ones. And there are many facts that I found related with my study to teach.
Taught for 30 years has undeniable expertise in explaining and answering questions, she is mathematics teacher and be my master teacher for 2 weeks at senior high school in South Jakarta, called her with Mrs. A. When I had to do observation and followed her and be her assistant, my partners and I tried to find out about her and asked a lot of things about the system of teaching, including lesson plans and teaching methods. Actually, I shocked when I hear the answer of my question. I asked “how about lesson plans Mrs. A, do we should make a new lesson plan or follow yours?” she answered “I never make a lesson plan, actually. It is because, in class, many lesson plans can not apply and it is different with the lesson plan.” I can not talk more about this, what I learned in school about the importance of lesson plan to guide the teacher, may not be consistent with Mrs. A. And I still believe that lesson plans can help teachers to become a better director of their class.
When I interviewed Mrs. A, she relized that she still teach with conventional method. And she said “I don’t understand about ICT” and according to her, the reason that she did not learn ICT because she will soon retire and it was too late to learn ICT. I can follow the mindset of Mrs. A, in fact she would like to learn, but prevents age and tenure. As a new generation, I should care with my audiences, which almost all of them are users of digital media. ICT will help me in explaining the material.
Mathematics. There are still many people who think that mathematics was difficult and dangerous, as well as students in X-3 class, in the same secondary school. They complained that their mathematics teacher is not good in explaination, too fast and serious. There are things that I can reflect about this, to be a teacher is not quite easy, moreover, to be a favorite teacher is very difficult. Some of mathematics contents are difficult and it makes me to think creatively to make class still fun. And my students are ordinary human that can bad mood, it makes me to be more concerned about my students feeling.
This was my first time to teach mathematics in real mathematics class, not extra time or private, the condition and enviroment was different. Actually, my partners and I can not wait to join existing classes to teach. But I feel my heart beating so fast. I was nervous. I just thought that I will do my best that I can do. Actually, when I consulted with master teacher, she suggested to cut some of activities in my agenda, because she tought that the time was limited. After that, my partners and I discussed about this problem and we was optimism with our agenda. But, in implementation of agenda, the time was not enough. Fortunately, after my class was only clinic class and the teacher can not teach them and the students asked me and my partners to continue the class until the end of our agenda. I thought that to make lesson plan and agenda, I have to think more about time and class conditions that will occur when I teach.
