1st Reflection by Putri Tiara Ismawaty


            At the first time I heard about PETA, I do not think that PETA is such map in Indonesia. In my mind, PETA is the course that explains about pedagogy. Then, my guess perhaps is not too false, because the acronym of PETA itself is Principles of Effective Teaching Assessment.
            At the first meeting my friends and I got group quiz about effective teacher and teaching and we have to mention the characteristics about that. Actually, at the time I felt little bite confused to define what effective teacher is. That because in my mind, effective teacher is someone who can teach with good ways that makes the students easy to understand and learn the material which is taught by she/he. Therefore, when Bu Ine asked us to mention characteristics about effective teacher, I just mentioned some characteristics that show how the teacher can be role model to the students such as on time when come to the class, humble, good communication in deliver material, and so on. In addition, when I walked around to see other groups I found that they also wrote characteristics which is not too different with my opinion and my group’s answer.
            After I read some explanation about effective teacher, it turns out my friends and I only focus to personality and attitude that refers to the “The Effective Teacher”. According to the book, there are four characteristics generally such as personality, attitude, experience, and aptitude/achievement. It is a new comprehension and knowledge for me. One thing that I learned from PETA class in the first meeting that teacher is not only should be good and smart to deliver the material but also has to good in personality and attitude as the role model to the students. I hope my new comprehension in the first meeting can make me as effective teacher in the future such as the material at the time “The Effective Teacher”.

  3. Putri, nice reflection simple but meaningful. I just want to suggest you to pay attention to some details such as misspelling (bite-->bit) and also the using of 'at that time' instead of 'at the time'.
    Besides that I think your writing is good. I just curious and want to know more about what you have read related to the general characteristics of being effective teacher. Cn you elaborate it more

Now I am so agree, very very agree that become a teacher attitude and personality is important because if I may connect it with my experience, I had a teacher, I believe she is smart but she always punish us and treat us hardly so I became hate her subject :(. That was so meaningful experience for me who will become a teacher.
