In the previous meeting in PETA
course, I learned about Thematic learning. It was the first time I hear about
that kind of learning. I did not know what it is until Ms. Ine played the video
about Thematic learning.
The video was interesting. The
loud voice of the teacher was so funny, but I like her spirit, so the students
will always pay attention to her. From the video, I got that Thematic learning is
the method where teacher delivers the materials of several subjects all at once
with one theme. I have never found that kind of method, it is a new thing for
me.
After watched the video, I
discussed with my group whether the Thematic learning is effective or not. The
discussion with my group was fun, though I was so sleepy. It was me, Novi,
Ayas, Muiz and Mumu, and we had different opinions. I thought that Thematic
learning is effective, besides it can save the time, the materials are also
authentic. I found that we had different perspective. Novi said that Thematic
learning is not effective, because there is no deeper explanation about the
topic. It is true, then I think that Thematic learning is suitable for
evaluation in the end of the lesson. Based on our discussion, Thematic learning
is also not appropriate in higher level of education, because in that level the
difficulties, several topics cannot be gathered at once.
Next discussion was talking
about cases in effectiveness of other learning method. There were unique cases
we got. My group got the case which all subjects are talking about the same
topic, apple, for two weeks in a row. We discussed that, that kind of learning
is not effective, because it is monotone so students will get bored with it and
the goal is unclear. We also talked about how we supposed to do to make it
effective.
From the whole-class discussion,
I learned that as teachers effectiveness is really important. I think the effectiveness
makes us creative in teaching. Now I know various case of effective and
ineffective teaching, I cannot wait to apply it in this SEP.

Yuliaaaaaaaaaaa... as usual I am waiting for your writing, and see ???!! I get something new :) I really like to read your writing since you use familiar words and it's simple makes me easy to understand it :)
BalasHapusactually, I still don't know what tematik is.Whether it's a methodology, approach, technique, or strategy for teaching. May be I will come to you and discuss it together with you :)
And my question also how could you say the discussion was fun but you sleepy in that time ?? In my opinion, it was fun if I were there to watched you sleepy :D LOL

As Raphita said it is simple and easy to understand your writings. Well I agree that this tematik is not effective when we use it on highschool. Because in highschool we are learning a deeper comprehension on one material. And thanks to you I get a new idea to create an evaluation by using tematik.
BalasHapusKeep writing !
