Reflective on Effective Teacher - Part 2


The second meeting is interesting, because the lesson was started with watching video. I always feel curious when there is a video in a lesson, what is the video about. It was about Tematik Teaching. Based on video, Tematik teaching is teaching approach which more stressing on the theme of teaching, not stressing on subject.

The video had shown me that tematik teaching gives student more opportunity to learn more about the theme, and more opportunity to interact with their friends. Because the video had shown that the teacher came to a field with the students, and the teacher explained about characteristic of Rambutan fruit. She explained the color of the leaves of Rambutan, the color of rambutan itself, and showed the way how to count the numbers of Rambutan.

However, there was a weakness of Tematik Teaching itself. The teacher was talking and spending much time in the lesson with explaining the theme, and the she didn't give her student when there was a student who asked her about black rambutan. The teacher also did a story telling, but she didn't give a chance for the students to continue the story based on their creativity.

My lecturer asked me and my friends to work in group of five persons, to discuss about Tematik Teaching in the video, and what we can do if we were the teacher. The result of discussion were some new idea from my group and other groups. My friends and I found an unique idea, we can do an "estafet story telling".

I can learn from the video, what I have to do if I were the teacher in the video. It is not easy to be an effective teacher/educator. It needs much experience and and creativity. Hopefully, I will get more experience, explanation, and tips and trick how to be an effective teacher.
