Umamah Umais 2nd reflection


The 2nd meeting of PETA was talking about thematic teaching. I am familiar with thematic before I learned in the class, because I have a young brother that he is in first grade in elementary school. Every night, I have to teach my brother with thematic teaching, because in his school his teacher was teaching with thematic to my brother and students. I think thematic is so good for elementary students, because they will study math, bahasa Indonesia, social and science together. The students cannot be confuse what they have learn. When I was watching video in class, I thought, the activities in video was a little bit difference. I could not see clearly what the relation between one course to another course. After I watched the video, me and my group were discussing how to teach effectively in thematic teaching, what will we do with different way, what we want to improve? 
The next activities, Ms Ine gave me and my group a case. After I read the problem, I got trouble to understand the case. I know that there was a teacher who reflected her story when she was in junior high school. My understanding is she was good in memorize, but she was not good to understand the material, however she was in high rank in her class, she was very embracing if other students who did not care about the lesson got the higher score than her. That was my understanding. When Ms Ine asked my group to answer and give a solution, I got confused because my understanding is so different with Ms Ine's understanding. This week is first week of SEP and now I really know it is very hard to teach student effectively and to be effective teacher.

  1. hi ais! seems like you already familiar with tematic, no wonder you tell what tematic is to the class. that was so good:)
    by the way, i am still a bit confuse about how you misunderstood the case. perhaps you can tell more about it, and what happen next when you discuss it in the class:)
