Great Moment SEA Teacher Project Batch 7

The first time arrive in Udon Thani Airport

After arriving at Don Mueng airport, Bangkok we continued our flight to Udon Thani for 1 hour. Thank God, we were warmly welcomed by Udon Thani Rajabhat University (UDRU) student friends. They waited for us in front of the airport carrying our list of names so we learned that they were campus representatives to pick us up. We are from Jambi University, Indonesia, apparently earlier than other friends. We waited for friends from the Philippines who didn't arrive long at the airport after our arrival. Next, we were escorted to the campus dormitory to take a break. 

Opening Ceremony in Udon Thani Rajabhat University, 7 Januari 2019

On Monday, January 7, 2019, the opening ceremony of this program was held at the Udon Thani Rajabhat University education faculty building. In this event, present the lecturers, students and the school that is the location of our teaching practice. All the relevant components delivered an extraordinary speech so that they showed our acceptance. The dean of the faculty of direct education officially opened the event. Followed by traditional dance performances by UDRU students.

In addition to the inauguration of the program, a simple and often daily language training was held during the program both on campus and at school. We were taught in Thai about letters, numbers, sentences and good pronunciation of languages. as teachers who teach in class, we are shown how to greet teachers and students at school. Like the word: good morning, thank you, pay attention, write it down, do it and others in Thai. It turns out it's quite difficult to understand and say it. Of course this is a challenge and our experience here.

The Activities in IEP Grade 4/1 Elementary School of BAN MAKKHAENG School, Udon Thani, Thailand

The school gave us a great welcome. They were very happy to see us coming. Starting from being given the opportunity to introduce themselves in front of all students and teachers, meet with principals and teachers, get to know students in the classroom. It is a pleasure for us to meet them. Students in the class were very enthusiastic to see our presence. They gave a friendly smile that showed a good response even though the students did not understand English well. However, they are very concerned with us, indicated by their body language.

3. Outcomes of practicum

From this project, I have a lot of experience about teaching skills in different cultures, pedagogy, improving the quality of English, and increasing knowledge about the use of technology media in the classroom as in Udon Thani, Thailand. A special satisfaction when students who are taught have an understanding of what the teacher has taught. The word that I will always miss from them is "Yes, I understand teacher". That word adds to my confidence to become a future teacher especially a teacher in the ASEAN region. I hope from this program, can give motivation and spirit to teacher in build smart children in the world.

4. The Challenge of practicum

The obstacle that I found during this program was that there were some differences in Thailand. For example, it is constrained when communicating with other people. There are some teachers here who don't speak English well and they want to communicate with me. The teacher needs an intermediary teacher or student to convey his intentions. Likewise, I don't understand Thai well enough to communicate with teachers, students and other people around. However, thank God we understand each other's problems, usually we use google translate help to communicate.

Then another obstacle in the form of food taste that is different from in Indonesia. Slowly I tried to adapt to the foods that are here. Furthermore, the weather constraints are cooler when compared to Indonesia. You can use the vehicle by using a jacket or alma mater. Of all these constraints, it actually provides interesting and memorable stories and experiences during the SEA-Teacher project.

5. Overall impression

Learning that is implemented has been well equipped using supporting media. Although there are shortcomings that can be corrected for further learning. Students can enjoy learning both individually and in groups. Learning shows students who are active, creative, and talented with their friends. Teachers need to move actively in class to move students and provide better understanding so that learning materials can be well received. With the help of the class teacher who is always accompanying, finally learning can be done.

6. Sugesstion for future improvement

Suggestion :

Suggestion to Project :
The program that has been held now is good for improving the quality of professional teachers. It is expected that participants can seek experience and knowledge in the world of education. In the end, the experience received during the program can be applied in the community. As a suggestion, hopefully this program will grow, the empowerment of participants will increase, the supervision of participants will be increased, meeting the needs of participants during activities and other facilities to support this program.

Suggestion to lesson : 

• Furry and active classroom, nice focus with object and content learning, but some student on back can’t control to focus on teacher
•  Nice active classroom skill, have a try to explain some topic to students. But show the speaking down anf focus environment, emotion of your students. Should have picture for lesson more

Chapter 4 : Teaching Practice

Content of Chapter 4 :

1. Procedures of your teaching

Picture 1 : Teaching about ASEAN Contries member

In learning, I compiled learning in three stages, namely: the opening of learning, the core of learning and closing learning in accordance with the provisions of Indonesia. From that stage, I tried to combine with the rules here, namely applying 5 stages in learning. The teaching plan have step by step lesson as :

1. Warm up

2. Presentation

3. Practice teaching

4. Product

5. Sumarry
In addition, I am trying to apply learning with the SAINTIFIC method that is applied in Indonesia. In
this method there are several learning stages aimed at forming an effective and meaningful learning
process according to the age of student development. The steps in the SAINTIFIC method are:
1. Observe
2. Asking
3. Try
4. Reason
5. Communicate

2. Time management and organizing activities

Picture 2 : The prepare lesson

In accordance with the provisions of the school, this learning is carried out during one learning hour, which is 55 minutes. With details that 5 minutes for opening, 45 minutes for core learning and 5 minutes for closing learning.

In addition to delivering prepared learning materials, I formed a game and quotes to build students' enthusiasm in learning. I formed small groups to play puzzle images of ASEAN member countries. Formation of 5 small groups with each having 6 or 7 members. Each group received a puzzle and then arranged it. The fastest group to compile the puzzle will be the winner and receive gifts from the teacher in the form of candys. But all students will continue to receive candys as a form of student appreciation in learning.

3. Problem solving

Picture 3 : The students problem solving of puzzle

By using the SAINTIFICIAL method that is applied, students are able to learn well and create fun learning. The media used will support the realization of learning objectives. The media in the form of puzzles will test students' knowledge about ASEAN member countries and also enhance collaboration between students to work on the group's work. Students can observe the media used, try the media, reasoning learning material, ask questions about the material and convey what is known from the learning. Then the teacher can evaluate the learning outcomes through these 5 stages. As an authentic form of assessment.

4. Classroom management

Picture 4 : Student sit in the floor to study

I deliberately formed the class to be open with chairs and tables placed on the edge of the classroom. Student activities are held by sitting on the floor so students become more free to move. Both moving individually and in small groups. Through the application of management it turns out that the active level of students is increasing. Students can discuss and interact with their friends. Class design like this makes the learning process more interactive because teachers and students are more free to move in class. Overall, scientific learning goals that are active, innovative, creative, effective and fun can be realized.


5. Your overall impression in teaching
Overall, thank God I was able to deliver the material with prior preparation. all methods, plans for distribution, techniques, media used can be applied properly. so that good, active learning is created. innovative, creative, effective and fun. although there are still obstacles that occur in the class, both from the language of communication and the application of learning. it will still not reduce student learning enthusiasm. then there is one memorable moment for me, is when students hug me after the learning is complete.
