3rd Reflection PETA - Mustika Hati

In the last meeting of PETA I learnt about models of instruction. In that session I learnt some model of instruction, such as guided discovery, group interaction, lecturing and direct instruction. We do jig saw reading toward the article about model of instruction. First time I read the text I did not really understand the text, but when we had discussion in the group, it helped me to understand the text.

Based on what I got from my reading and discussion, guided discovery is student centered learning where the students can explore the learning with guidance from the teacher through group work. The second instruction is lecturing. Lecturing is a teacher-centered learning where the teacher will explain the material and give questions to the student. It provides comprehensive monitoring and information processing. The next instruction is group interaction. In my opinion group interactions is one of instruction that encourage the students to learn and share knowledge through group interaction. This instruction adapts sociocultural theory from Vygotsky. The last instruction is direct instruction. In my opinion direct instruction is one of instruction that combined students’ practice and feedback to teach procedural and concept skills.

Actually, at the first time I confused because my expectation in this meeting is doing a microteaching that consist of 7 until 9 members in every group. However, I have prepared all the things that my group need for microteaching but after we discuss about the material I really interested. I like this meeting because I can implement the models of instruction when I become a teacher someday.

We will do a microteaching in next meeting with the new group. I hope in that meeting I can do microteaching by implementing what I have got from this meeting. I hope there is a meeting before mid-term to review all materials that we have learn before. Thank you.
