The Observation

Bismillah..

After I signed the contract, the principal told me that I must do an observation for several days. It’s needed for knowing about Al-Fauzien learning method. So, I come for three days, 28, 29, and 31 May 2013.

At my first day, I have been placed at 2nd grade class – SD 2 Ibnu Batutah – which has two class teachers. They are Miss Tari and Miss Anis. I felt very welcome by them and also the student. I did my observation till 1.30 pm. Here, I only sit and watched what they did on the class.

The first thing that I got was, at first till third grade, english will be used as their primary language. The teacher’s class has to talk with the student using english, if any student does not understand what the teacher said, teacher must explain it.

Being A Tutor (not a teacher yet)

Bismillah…

To teach others is not a new thing for me. As far as I know, I have been doing this for almost 4 years. It’s start from an opportunity to become a lecturer assistant my second year in the college. It was Algorithm and Programming subject. Then, suddenly someone told me to help an organization to give a private lesson for a first year student, the subject is physic. Start from there, every semester I have applied to be a lecturer assistant for another subject such as Quantitative Method, Computer literacy, Software ngineering, and Information System.

But, to teach the children, I do not have any experience before. My first and only experience is when I got a chance to join at I Love Science program which held by Karya Salemba Empat as my scholarship, OCBC NISP and Yohannes Surya Institute. At 2011 till 2012, I have joined this program. I and others have been trained Gasing (a math method) by Yohannes Surya team.  My duty is teaching the method to the children who lived around OCBC NISP Office in Jabodetabek. At that time, I have been placed at Bogor Pajajaran and Mangga Dua Jakarta. The child is coming from 3rd untill 5th grade, and I have to teach them all in one class.

At that time, I have no idea, how to teach all of the children? I do not know about lesson plan, silabus, or any kind of education tools. What I do is only by my feeling and spontaneously. I tried to teach them based on instruction book, but it was very hard to make them always under my control. (U_U). They have their own world, It was very hard to make them still focus. (-.-)”

Thenn…
Another chance come to me. Being a teacher at Sekolah Dasar Islam Al-Fauzien. This new job will start at July 2013. Hope I can do my duty as best as I can. *FIGHT*

Bismillah… ^_^
