In
the second meeting of PETA my class mates and I watched the video of Thematic
Teaching simulation in the class. The simulation is in elementary level. That
video showed us the example of thematic teaching by showing us the combination
subject in one meeting. The teacher divides the students into groups. She (the
teacher is woman) opens the class by greeting and asks the information about
students’ condition. Then students can learn three different subjects, they are
science, math, and society. The class felt so alive and attractive.
What
can I learned from that video is that thematic way is one of the effective
teaching processes to be applied in the class. However, I think I still can
found the weaknesses in that video simulation of thematic. First the teacher does
not ask the students to work in group or ask them to make any discussion. The
teacher also ignores the students question, so the leaning process is one way
learning and teacher centered. In my opinion the simulation like in that video
is appropriate for the same level with that video which are third grade of
elementary school and under. However, I still wonder if thematic is appropriate
for every grade in school or even for university level.
After
watching the video, we were divided into 4 groups, and then the lecturer gave
us a piece of paper for each group which contains the case of learning process.
We had to give our opinions, solution, and the additional effective ways if we
think it is necessary. In every group, there is the different case. The cases
are the common problem that teachers or students often face. So, we learned how
find the best way in facing those kind of problems. The decisions, the hard
works, the preparations and anything else should be considered by us the future
educator.
