3rd E-Reflection - Abdul Majid Robiansyah

        I have learned about four models of instructions. All of those models were new for me, because I have never learned or read about those models of instructions. Maybe I had ever known about one or two of those instructions, but I had not known the name of the instructions. I made some notes from what happened in the third meeting, such how the lecturer opened the lesson, then what method that the lecturer used. So, I had just not only learned about the effective teacher, but also I could learn from how the lecturer taught me in the class.

        Four models of instructions were Direct instruction, Group Instruction, Guided Discovery, and Lecture Discussion. The lecturer held the lesson in the class using jigsaw reading method. I got copies of Group Instruction, and I felt that it was interesting when I taught using Group Instruction. I learned from the information in the copies, and I also learned from master group of Group Instruction. From what I learned, the aims of using Group Instruction in the lesson was to teach students work in group. It also could train the students soft skill such arguing idea, asking a question politely, agreeing the opinion,  and so on.

        Besides group instruction, I also understood clearly about direct instruction. Based on what I have learned, direct instruction was instruction that used by most of teacher. I could classify this instruction in teacher centered learning, because the role if teacher was very big. Most of activities that included in this instruction was explaining and modelling. The most important thing was the explanation of the teacher. Direct instruction could cover students's style in learning, it was auditory. The clearance of the teacher explanation and voice were very important, if those two things were not clear, students will feel not interested in joining the lesson.

        I just know a little bit about the two other instructions left, they were  lecture discussion and guided discovery. What I know from the explanation from my friends about lecture discussion was students could discuss with lecturer in the lesson. Then student could feel enjoy in the lesson, because students could share and discuss their understanding with their peers and lecturer. It also could provide a meaningful verbal learning. Based on Ausubel, meaningful verbal learning is the acquisition of ideas that are linked to the other ideas. Form that explanation, I knew that lecture discussion could cover students' verbal intelligence. That was all from lecture discussion that I knew.

        Lecture discussion was better than guided discovery, because I knew it more than guided discovery. I really didn't understand about guided discovery. I needed study more, ask more, and read more about these four instructions, especially guided discovery and lecture discussion.

Third lesson was interesting. I learned not only from the lecture, but I also learned from my friends' point of view about these instructions. That kind of learning activity could train my verbal ability and I liked that, because I realized that my verbal ability was low and I need to train it.

        As a teacher candidate, I thought that I have to learn about these instructions. I will face my students with different background and capability. I have to think about what method and instructions that i will apply in my class later. That is what I got from third meeting.

        I had expected that the third meeting will be walked more interesting that the meeting before, and also I could learn new things about effective teacher.

        I expected that I could learn about how to teach with different instructions in the one lesson next meeting. When we taught in a class, we will face different students, and maybe different condition of the class. So, I think that I am as a teacher candidate need to know how to teach with different method and instructions in a lesson.
