Purpose of Practicum

SEA-Teacher program is one of my dream when enteri UPI my university. This program gives a chance to the student teachers to practice teaching abroad. The SEA-Teacher Pilot Project program is different from the previous batch, this project was held with a new member that is Japan.
This program gives me a lot of valuable experiences that will be worthwhile for my future. I have learned how to instruct the students thinking skill form this practicum. I have learned to be more confident to teach not only in my country but also in another country. This program not only make an impact for teaching skill but also for the knowledge about the culture of the other country. From this program i can improve my teaching skill, improve my english skill and also public speaking skill.

Procedures of Practicum

The duration of the practicum is 4 weeks. The first week is time for me to observed the teachers, the second week is time for me to plan the lesson plan, because the lesson plan is very important for teacher as a guide to teach in class, the third week is time for me to teach, and the last week for evaluation the activities. So, before i practiced teaching in the class, i have to observed how the teachers teach and planned the lesson plan as my preparation for teaching practice. The evaluation from the teachers are very useful for me, because i can learn from the mistake that i have made and improve it next time.

The Challenge of Practicum

During the practicum, i faced some challenge that is : Language. This is the most challenging things for me, because not all the students can speak English. furthermore, the students can not understand the mathematical language that are different in english. But because of the help from my mentor and the other teachers i can overcome that problems. Time duration, since in Indonesia for mathematics is 2x40 minutes for one meeting and in Thailand i only have 1x50 minutes, so i have to manage the time carefully. The last thing is, the food since i am a muslim, so i have to eat a halal food, and in Khon Kaen i was have a little trouble to find halal food, but my Thai friends and some of the Indonesian students were very helped to find the halal food.

Overall Impresions

I feel very grateful to be able to join this program. So many experience that i got from this program, i learned a lot from the teachers, my friends, and even the students. I am very grateful to be surrounded by a lot of good peoples during this program. Especially my friends (Vivi, Deborah, Dan, Yoshika and Suzuka). I hope i can apply what i get from this program for the future. I also thankful because the math teachers including my mentor and the students teacher (Team) are very humble to me, they always helped me.

Suggestion For Future Improvement

  1. Don't be worried about the language, because we can learn
  2. Prepare everything before you do something, like you have to prepare the lesson plan before you teach.
  3. Never stop to learn something new
  4. Before we go abroad we need to learn the basic language they have and learn their culture

February 26th 2020 This is the first day we met our buddy. They pick us at the Complex in KKU, they are is Man and Yoli. We are going for dinner to one of Halal Restaurant in Khon Kaen which is near from the campus. After that, Man and Yoli brought us to the 62 Blocs Night Market to see around and have a chitchat in Milk Land. February 27th 2020 We met another buddy, that is Jake, Joey, Shymorg, Lif and Liw. We went to the same restaurant for having lunch. It such a great time to met them, because they are so entertaining as they said that they are "entertainment education" students. All of our buddies are from mathematics education which is the same as me. February 29th 2020 We went to Wat Nong Wang, one of the famous temple in Khon Kaen. It's a very nice temple, many people come to pray or for an excursion. We still have to maintain our attitude when you are in the temple seeing that this is a sacred place for Buddhist. There are 9 floors

Procedures of Teaching After finished my lesson plan and with the approval of my mentor and other teachers, they arranged my teaching schedule. I got the opportunity to teach in class M.1/1 and M.1/2 which are classes with IEC (Intensive English Course) program . I teached for one meeting each class with a duration 50 minutes per meeting.  When i teach, i accompanied by the mathematics teachers. They observed my teaching and helped me to handle if there any language that difficult to understood by the students, since the mathematical language is quite different with the daily language. I teach Sector Arc Length and Area, and i used the pizza as the representative for the sector. After i explain the topics, i gave the students a worksheet that they have to do it by themselves. While they do the worksheet, me and the teachers get around seeing the students work and helped them if they have any difficulties. Then, when the time is over i asked some students to write the result on
