2nd Reflection PETA : Putri Tiara Ismawaty

            On the second meeting PETA class, I learned about Tematik. I think it was my first time knew more about that material through a learning video. I ever heard before about Tematik, but I never know what Tematik itself before Bu Ine showed me the video in the class. At the first time, I felt so curious when the video was showed because I think learning activity which is using Tematik system more interesting than usually. Besides, there is no specific subject in learning but combining the material becomes a theme of the day.

            After I watched and discussed with my friends about the video, I doubt whether Tematik system can be used in the advance classes such as in 4-6^th grade elementary school or in the higher level school. That because in the video, Tematik is used in the beginner class I think that was in the 1^st grade elementary school.

            If Tematik system is related to effective teaching, I think it can be effective to the teacher when delivers the material. That is caused in Tematik, students can learn more about the material through the theme. In contrary, it can be problem for the advance classes because they need more specific knowledge in learning. I think if Tematik is applied in advance classes, it will be not effective because students have to learn more before the class and should have more prior knowledge. Perhaps, there will be some of the students who know and some of them do not know.

            Based on my explanation, I reflect that Tematik is good if teacher can modify and delivers theme of the material as good as possible. It can be happen if the teacher is creative and has capability to manage the class because Tematik needs teacher who can facilitate the students. For me as candidate of educator, I agree with Tematik but I think it can be better if it is applied in the level of class that appropriate. Besides, I think become effective or no it depends on the teacher when explains also delivers the material. That because, as I wrote before that become a teacher should have good attitude and personality. It refers to the video that teacher has to respect, patient, and also creative in order to can be understood by the students. So that, in the second meeting PETA class I am more learn again about effective teaching and also indirectly how to be effective teacher. Hopefully, I also can be an effective teacher when I teach in the future.
