Reflective Journal of General Lecturing

             On the last session, PETA was delivered by a guest lecturer, Ibu Warih Wijayanti. It was really nice to meet her. I was lucky then. I knew that Ibu Warih is the best teacher in Madaniyah School. Here, I learned about Assessment. I got a lot of new things. It meant about the new experiences, too. Based on what I got, assessment is a kind of tools to assess the students. Assessment is also divided into two, summative and formative. They are really new things for me. But then, now, I know the differences and similarities between them.

            I really understood about summative and formative assessment. Summative has the high value and low feedbacks possibility. It is really opposite with formative. Feedbacks are the most important parts in formative.. I did not have a difficult part to understand. I mean that I really understood with Ibu Warih’s explanation. The explanation is really clear. Maybe, I just felt difficult with the time. The time was really limited. I love her way to explain.

            Actually, that session was really interesting. I could study together with 2012 cohort. It was really an interesting experience. I could learn from my juniors. Then, they also could learn from my cohort. The other interesting thing is, I could meet a great lecturer as the guest lecturer. I was really happy to meet her. She was so calm. Her explanation was so clear. She is a good lecturer.

           This session was really meaningful as a teacher candidate. After this session, I know how to give assessments to my students someday. At least, I know which parts that I want to consider to my students. I know that assessment is not only about homework. I know that I also have a chance to give my students a chance to revise their works by giving them feedbacks of their works. I know that to be a teacher must not be rigid. I also have to use my heart.

            This session was really out of my expectation. It was over of my expectation. I could learn a lot of things. I could enjoy the learning. I loved every parts of learning. I was not regret to come to the general lecturing. My expectation for the next meeting is, I can learn new things again. Maybe, there will be a guest lecturer again and as good as Ibu Warih or even more.
