Teaching Assistantship on grade 11

(The students doing prayer)

Teaching cooperates begun, I was helping my cooperate teacher to teach and handle the classes. I was little bit nervous, but I need to be confident to deliver the material and control the classes. The material given was about the model of communication in grade eleven. the subject material was about the model of communication, and it was little bit easy to handle it because I have been learning the subject when I was on the fifth semesters. I greeted the class at first, then conducted the prayer, I asked one of my student as a volunteer to lead the prayer. Then I checked the attendance quickly while observing the classroom environment. I also introduced the rules of my class briefly. After those were conducted in the opening, I explained them some of models of communication and I did question answers in order to construct their prior knowledge. For the lesson plan used it was already discussed the day before we conducted the learning activity, I designed my own material, also with Ma’am Karen. I used teacher-oriented method as suggested by my teacher to maximize the time and telling the information, because the material was quite hard. It has many theories and I have to explain carefully in order to make my students got all of the points.

After 20 minutes finished by me, the material presentation was continued by my teacher Ma’am Karen. She re-stated the explanation that I gave quickly to make sure nobody left behind. And she continued with the other models of communication. She used student-oriented method, so all of the students are given a chance to talk and state their opinion based on the material. To measure students understanding she was giving a quiz to the students. The quiz was about the material today in form of true false, I helped her distributed the papers and controlled the class during the quiz. The quiz was need 10 minutes, and they submitted the paper individually. At the end of the class we both explained the conclusion of the materials quickly and opened question section and every student clear with the material given. I was happy to know that and after the class I asked to my critic teacher about my performance before to improve my teaching skill for next the independent teaching experience.
