1.2
Academic support system
Academic support system in MMSU LHS
provide some facilities and models in teaching to improve activity student and
knowledge of the student. The teacher usually make attractive presentation to
make the student interest to study by flashed some videos or make games. The
teacher also make group activity, this is make the students finished problem by
collaboration with their friends. The teacher also always give some question to
the student to make the student active in the class. MMSU LHS also provide
laboratory for science practicum there are Biology lab, Chemistry lab, and
Physics lab. MMSU have science centrum and the school has school visit program
there it makes the students touch, twist, hear and see science while having
fun. Student in MMSU LHS also follow some competition to increase their
experience.
1.3
Teaching system
Teaching
system in MMSU use student-centered so the student will be actively participate in the
class. The teacher use some activities for the student either by group or individual.
The teacher usually give the student tasks to solve by making concept map,
diagram van, or make table. Teacher also used some methods in class like oops
number, bell jingle etc. The educational system is under K to 12 curriculum. In
science, is also under the K to 12 curriculum wherein it employsthe spiral approach.
1.4.
Materials and other learning sources
The school does not provide any text books from the government it makes the students use learning materials from commercial publishers or book
companies based K to 12 compliant. The students also learned by the
presentation of the teacher. Teaching materials or instructional materials
are prepared by teachers based on online and printed sources.
1.5 Measurement
and evaluation system
The
teachers use assessment tools such as test papers, work sheets, performance
tasks and other activities. Performance tasks are also measured with the
rubrics as a basis in their performance. The teacher can also give assignments such
as home works.
1.6 Curriculum
General
curriculum they used is K-12. In this curriculum classroom assessment is an
integral part of curriculum implementation. It allows the teachers to measure
learner's progress and to adjust instruction accordingly. Classroom assessment
informs the learners, as well as their parents and guardians, of their
progress. MMSU-LHS grade 7,8,9 used curriculum K-12 but in grade 10 still use
Science curriculum. Grade 7,8,9 consume 1 hour to study and grade 10 consume
1,5 hour. Curriculum K to 12 designed around the three domains of learning
science : understanding and applying scientific knowledge in local setting as
well as global, context whenever possible, performing scientific processes and
skills, and developing and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values.
1.7 Teaching
plan
Before
we teach we should make lesson plan and decided for the objectives the
material, concept and learning procedure. Lesson plan made by writing on the
paper not type but this is depend of the subject for Biology the lesson plan is
writing. The teacher also prepare presentation about the topic. Teacher also
make complete activity in lesson plan there are teacher activity and student
activity.
2. PEDAGOGICAL
CONTENTS
1.1 Teaching
methods of the teacher that you observed
In the school the teacher used some
methods like discussion, outdoor activity, opps number, bell strategy, and this methods
to make students more communicative. In discussion time is the teacher give the
student's group activity so they can solve the problem by the group.
Outdoor activity is used when the student do activity, not in the classroom but also outside of the learning environment, it makes the students more active too because student can know the appliy his/her learnings in reality or in the real world and also give them experiences, especially in biology it’s really useful. Opss number is a game wherein the teacher assign each of the students their number and if the teacher will say "opss number 1". All number 1 students should stand up and the last one to stand should answer the question. This games is really interesting. The other methods is bell strategy so
the teacher and the student will sing together and after the song end the
student who get the bell should answer the question. The teacher always make
games in the classroom. This is one of the strategy to make fun in the class
and make the student brave talk even if is wrong or right.
1.2 Learning
Materials and Innovation
Materials commonly used text book. The
teacher also make presentation based on the topic, and some teacher used video presentations too. The teacher not also use presentation as the material but board and chalk
too.The teacher tell the topic by writing on the board and give chance to the
student answer by write in the board. Teacher always creative too make
materials like make part of neuron used (marshmallow), make 3D cap about brain,
So the student more interesting to learn especially biology make easy to apply.
1.3 Sources
of learning and technology
MMSU-LHS
provide projector in each the classroom so the teacher can teach by the power
point presentation. Teacher also used video as the activity for the student.
Sources of learning we got too from the book and our TTI (Teacher Training
Instructure).
1.4 Authentic
assessment
Teacher
used assessment from concept mapping, group discussion, graded recitation, quiz
on the topic, reporting, and move-exam. Every activity of the student, teacher
should input to the record book of the students.

Very good class!
For today I will be your teacher. My name is Nova
Sri Lestari. I am from Indonesia one of the participants sea teacher program
Before we start the class, who will lead the prayer?
Okay class, is there anyone absen today?

Ok class, last week teacher owen talked about
biodiversity and evolution. Can anyone tell something about that? Now can you
tell me something about.
Ok Good answer. How about communities?, Christian
Very good Cristian. How about the formula of index
of diversity?, Angelo
Correct, Thank you Angelo
|
Biodiversity is the variety of life in an area
Communities with many different species (a high
index of diversity) will be able to withstand. Environmental changes better
than communities with only a few species (a low index of diversity)
To calculate the index of diversity using the given
formula index of diversity. Population density :
number of
species × number of runs number of trees

Okay class before we proceed to our topic. I will
flash pictures. Anyone have an idea. What is picture number 1 and number 2
tell about?
Okay good answer. So how about populations density.
Any idea what is that?
Good answer. So population density is a measure of
the number of organisms that make up a population is a defined area.
Population density is usually shown as the number of people per square
kilometre. What are the applications of population density?
So population density can applices to the plants
that make up vast crops, trees of the jungle. Animal on the farm, fish in the
ocean, human on the planet.
And here I have line graph about population of the
Philippine eagle. Anyone have an idea what is the factor of population
Philippine eagle decreasing for 7th years?
Okay that’s good. Based on these factors anyone who
can tell what is it?
Yes that’s true. Limiting factor is a condition of
the environment that limit the growth of a species limiting factors control
population growth. So anyone who has an idea about the limiting factors of
population density?
Okay that’s correct and these are the limiting
factors. Is it clear?
So let’s proceed to density dependent and density
independent. Last go first to the density dependent factors class. Read what
is being flashed.
Alright! Can you give me the factors of the density
dependent?
That’s good. Density dependent factors only come
into play when the population reaches a certain level the larger the
population, stronger is the impact.
Last proceed to the next which is all about density
independent. Every body read.
Alright! Can you give me the factors of density
independent?
That’s goos. These are the factors which do not have
size constraint. They are effective in the case of both, large populations
and small populations.Is it clear class?
That’s right the number of individuals that survive
on the island. Which dependent on the quantity of resources, such as food and
water, available in the ecosystem. So the picture shows about carrying
capacity. Please everyone read.
Okay class this is the formula for population
density.
Population density = number of individuals / Size of area
The unit depends can use per square kilometre, per
square meter, per square centimetre.
Here I have an example about
Population density = 106.898
34, 472
So les’s now proceed to the activity and this will
be done by group. I will divide you into five groups by counting off one to
five. Lest start here.
Okay class, go now to your respective groups. I will flash some problems in which the number and
area given. All you have to do is to calculate population density.
I will give an illustration board and write your
answer there. The first one who raises the illustration board with the
correct answer will get two points while the other group who are late to
raise with a correct, there will get one point but if it’s not correct, there
will be no point. Are you ready?

Picture number 1 is a population of elephant Ma’am.
Population is a groups of individuals belonging to the same species that live
in the same region and picture number 2 is a communities Ma’am. Communities
is a different population of organism who lived is a same area. (student rise
hand)
Yes, Ma’am. I think population density is the number
of individuals per unit area.
Tress, plants, animal, human. Ma’am (one student
will raise hand)
The factors are hunting, pollution and habitat
Ma’am. (student will rise hand)
Yes Ma’am. It’s limiting factor
Yes Ma’am. I think the limiting factors of
population destisity are food, water habitat, light temperature
Density dependent factors are those that depend on
the population density. There are the factors whose effects in the population
vary depending on the density of population.
Yes, Ma’am. Disease, competition predators parasites
and food.
Density independent factors are the ones that are
not dependent on the population density. They affect the species regardless
of the species regardless of how dense the population is.
Yes, Ma’am. These temperature, storms, floods,
drought and even human activities.
Carrying capacity is t he number of individuals of a
species that an ecosystem can support.

1.1 Curriculum
related to your major
MMSU-LHS commonly used curriculum K to12.
For Biology Grade 7,8, 9 used K-12 curriculum but for Grade 10 still used old
curriculum is Science curriculum.
1.2 Teaching
plan related to your major
Before start teaching, the teacher
should prepare lesson plan first as teaching guideline in the class. One lesson
plan is for 1 topic, some topic which a lot of objectives can be used for 2
section. Teacher should write down also the material will be used for teaching
in the classroom. Teacher also prepare power point presentation based on the
topic. In the one of part of lesson plan
teacher can make games to make the student active in class. The evaluation
section teacher also make assessment by made quiz and prepare assignment for
the student about the next topic. Student teacher who practicing in the
MMSU-LHS the lesson plan will be checked by TTI (Teacher Training Instructure )
first. I Teach Biology and my lesson plan checked by ma’am quitola. Lesson plan
make for 1 hour teach in class. After the lesson plan finished and already
checked by TTI, teacher should prepare all the material before teaching and
coming early before the class start because teacher should prepare like input
the computer to projector and so on.
4. Teaching Practice
1.1 Procedures
of Teaching
First
is our TTI (Teacher Training Instructure ) will give us the topic for teach,
after that we make lesson plan by write down on the paper . In the lesson plan
we should decide the objectives based on the topic, objective means we write down the material should be reached by
the student. So after the learn student get that information from the teacher.
Then we write the material we need to teach like board and chalk, projector,
worksheet, power point presentation and another material to support the
learning. In the lesson plan of learning procedure part, we should write down
teacher activity and student activity.
The
first part as usual I greeting the student, check the attendance and pray
together in the classroom, then I asked the student about last topic after that
give them motivation using games or flashed video about the topic will be
learn. After flashed video or play games I asked the student about the topic
and the students will answer by the activity they did. Next is discussion time
I do question and answer with the student and making group activity. The last
is evaluation, I give the student assessment by individual test used quiz.
1.2 Time
management and organizing activities
I teach 7 grade and 9 grade here, so I
teach for 1 hour. I will consume how long based on the part in the lesson plan.
As usual in preliminary activities is 1 minute. For review is 5 minute,
presentation 5 minute, discussion 30 minute, and the last part is 15 minute for
evaluation. I did the activity in class based on the lesson plan so there’s no
activity I forgot. And also before I start to teach I give my lesson plan to
checked by ma’am quitola before a day I teach or some hour before teach.
I don’t know how to make lesson plan of
Philippine, and luckily there are some student from MMSU-CTE teaching practice
In there so I ask them to making lesson plan. Then I have experience that my
time is still a lot but my topic already done delivered to the student, so what
I do is thinking about another way by give the student more question.
Class management really need especially
to make the students concentrate to the teacher. So to make the student
concentrate on me I give chance to all of the student to answer question I give
and make some games in the class to make the student more active and enjoy.
Honestly the students in MMSU-LHS they are really active and enthusiastic and
easy to manage them in the class. I usually make group activity so to make the
group I will make by count number base on the group I will make. And then if
we’re already did group activity I ask the student to arrange the chairs.
6. Summary and Suggestion
1.1 Purposes of practicum
I learned a lot about how to teach
student in real, how to manage them how to make the students enjoy with us as the
teacher. And this practice teaching program it’s really useful for us as
student teacher college to improve our skill about how to teach the student and
improve our skill make lesson plan. Practicum or teaching practice really we
need before we will teach later as the
teacher, it give us picture about education world it is, this is like a chance
to us to get more experience. I really so happy to can get a chance practice
teacher in Philippine I got a lot of knowledge and experience there.
1.2
Procedures of practicum
first is make lesson plan, prepare all
the materials we need, make power point presentation, make some games and group
activity to make the student active, give assessment by all the activities do,
always give appreciate the student by say good answer, good question.
Evaluation with TTI to know how your teaching in class. This is really useful
to improve teaching in the next day.
After I’m teaching practice I got a lot
of moment to be a teacher and I learned from my students too. I know to manage
the students and I learned that when I teach in the class, I like to give
chance to my students to answer or just read my presentation cause studens like
give a chance like that. I now how to make lesson plan very well because my TTI
ma’am quitola always give suggestion how to teach student in class. I learned
how to management time too.
1.4
The challenges of practicum
The challenges is the students is have
different types of characteristic, there’re some students really active and
there’s no. so to make the students
brave to speak up and active we need to call them to answer our question.
Overall I really happy and enjoyed
practice teaching in Philippine especially in MMSU-LHS. When I observed the
teacher before I teach I learn a lot the method teacher use and I will applies
to when I to be a teacher soon to my students. I got al tot of knowledge how to
make lesson plan because it’s different make lesson plan in my country and
Philippine and I like it. And it’s really interesting to know the children too
they’re so kind ad welcoming us. As a teacher before I make lesson plan I
sometime think abut the games should I used to make the students active and
enjoyed, it’s really make me more creative. this is my first time teaching
practice and I’m very happy can communicate with the student. I got a lot knowledge
from my TTI, and My friends in Philippine. I just want to say thank you for all
the people who support me and also seameo which is held this program. i just
not learn from my country about education but I learn in the other country too.
1.6
suggestion for future improvement
For the student next batch you’re just
not prepare the lesson plan very well but you should good communicate in
English. I learned so much when I teaching practice in Philippine they were so
good in English. And also make a methods creative so the student can active and
enjoyed in your class.
