Derry Rahmat Ramdhani - Reflection On Week 2

Reflection Week 2

At the second session of PETA meeting I learnt about tematik teaching system. Tematik teaching system, is a teaching system that combine every subjects in the school and combine it into one topic (theme).

                First, Mrs Ine showed us a video that describe how the tematik learning system is applied in elementary school. The theme is about family and fruits. In this learning they learn about Indonesian language, science, and also math. In the lesson, the students are given authentic material, in order to increase their understanding. In my opinion, this tematik learning system is interesting and also make the student easier to understand the subject. Moreover by giving the student the authentic material and example,the student will feel that the knowledge that they get are used in daily life. They will think that, and that perception will increase student interest in learning.

After we watched the video, Ms Ine then divided us into some groups, and then we discuss about the effectiveness of the tematik learning system. This activity is quite interesting because it sharpen our skill and sense in observing the teaching learning condition which later will  be used in SEP program. Besides that, in this discussion I got many ideas from my friends in creating effective way of teaching. For example, like changing the ordinary story telling activity into story creation activity, introducing color and family by using description, and etc.

Overall the second session learning in PETA was interesting. So many knowledge, inspiration, and also ideas that I get. From my lecturer, from the video, and also from my friends that discuss in the class. I really hope that in next meeting the lesson will be more awesome and meaningful.
