WEEK 12 (8/8 - 12/8) THE LAST WEEK

 

Activities this week.

This will be the last week for my practicum, a full 12 weeks. Indeed, a challenging task for me it has been, and it also served as valuable experiences. My fellow friends also attended briefing session conducted by our supervisor from KUPTM, Madam Shazni where she shed light on our questions and gave us guidelines in completing this practicum.

For academic classes, both Form 4 & 5 will be for revision as MRSM will be having Semester 1 examination starting next week.

 

FORM 4: Discussion on the topics that will be covered for examination

Since this is a revision week, we have gone through each question on Mastery practice in the textbook. Students are called to response or showcase their solutions for each given questions.

The STRENGTH of my approach is it makes my students jitter where they can be called at any times, thus they need to give their best in solving the questions.

but the apparent WEAKNESS is there is students that didn’t bother to tried as they simply said that they cannot solved it.

OPPORTUNITY that can be seen is for students to gain confidence in presenting their views.

Whereas the THREAT is there bound to be lazy students that won’t bother to participate, widen their abilities gap with the others.

 

FORM 5: Discussion on the topics that will be covered for examination

A bit different from what I have done with Form 4, I have asked them to form a group of 4. Set of questions are given to them and they need to do each question together and discuss it with fellow members, achieving one final answer.

 The STRENGTH of my approach is it encourages their analytical skills in mathematics when they are discussing on the mathematical approach that they did.

but the apparent WEAKNESS is there might be student/s that didn’t contribute much, simply waiting the answers from their members.

OPPORTUNITY that can be seen is for them to build up teamwork skills and encourage academic discussions

Whereas the THREAT is the possibility for a group to consist of all bad or poor performance students, causing the group having slower pace than the others.

 

On another note, I who also a warden for the school have conducted meeting sessions with the male students as there a sighting of truancy during the night-time, which famously known as “FLIED”. We shared to the boys on the previous cases for truancy and the consequences to them as a reminder that these serious issues and they will be reprimand if they do so.

As this will be my last entry for now, I want to express my thanks to Madam Shazni and KUPTM for giving me the oppurtunies for my DIPED journeys. Lots of tremendous things have been taught abd shared to me. the things that I never experiences within my experiences as a teacher for MRSM TAIPING.
