The first Reflective Journal School Experience (PETA)

The great Experience in Teaching Assistance Program

To be teacher assistance is so challenging, I should help the teacher to teach in the real class. During two weeks, I have to do school experience in the high school which was chosen by my college. I got in SMAN 43 Jakarta. Over there, my master teacher was so kind and helpful. Actually my college asked us to do micro teaching in a team work with the minimum teaching experience fourth times in two weeks. But our master teacher asked us to teach her student fourth times in a week and she still challenged us to teach once more. So I had five times teaching experience in the first week. It made me so tired.

I have realized that teaching is a kind of jobs which need a patience and passion to do that. Without having double “P” (Patience and Passion) we can not be a good teacher because a good teacher should have a patience to manage the students when they are naughty and a passion to be a teacher with the high intention before teaching the students. As like what I felt when I taught the students of SMAN 43, there were so many things that made me stress. For example: I had to make a lesson plan before teaching and I had to think what activity that was suitable with the topic. Usually what we have planned before was not going well. But overall the students were happy when we were teaching because we did the different ways to teach them.

I had to give thanks to Sampoerna School of Education which has given me chance and knowledge to be a high quality of teacher.
