School (General Information and Academic Administration)

Saint Mary's Senior High School is the school where I did my teaching practicum. It is located in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya, 3700 Philippines. It is a new school, it was opened in June 2016 with a total enrolment of more or less than 1 thousand students. It has some sections, such as STEM, ABM, HUMSS, GAS, TVL-ICT, TVL-HE, Arts and Designs. It has only two grades, grade 11 and 12. The new or eleven grade students can choose one of the sections. Every year STEM always has the highest enrolment.

Academic Support System

Academic support system in SM SHS is constant remediation for academically challenged students, trainings, and seminars for teachers.

Teaching System

The teachers in SM SHS often using English rather than Tagalong to teach the students, and mostly the students understood everything what their teachers said or talked about. That’s because English is their second language, so almost all of them understood and tend to use English. Then when I observed the class in “English” subject, they didn’t learn the “English language” but other material such as “Media Information and Literacy” but full in English language. The teachers or students should and have to talk in English.

Materials and Other Learning Sources

There are many sources that used in SM SHS, In English or MIL subjects, there are textbook and internet. In the textbook, it is about the explanation of the materials and also a workbook for the students to practice or doing their exercise. The teachers also use internet to provide the students for more and clear information, such as data, pictures, and videos.

The strength point of SM SHS, they provided every classes with a set of flat TV and speaker as projector. It’s really easy for the teachers to teach and explain to the students about the materials by showing them through the projector. The students also can use the TV to help them showing their works to the teachers. Here is the book that I taught.

Measurement and Evaluation System

The evaluation system in this school is similar in Indonesia. They have 2 section of evaluation. First is for middle term evaluation, and then for the second is for the end of the semester or final term evaluation. The way the teachers collecting the students’ score with every day score and also added with their middle and final evaluation score.

Curriculum

Saint Mary’s Senior High School is following the K-12 curriculum, it based on Republic Act number 10533 or enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013.

Teaching Plan

The teaching plan or Learning Strategies in SM SHS is the strategies that will be teachers’ guide to teach the students. In the learning strategies will have some strategies for the teachers to engage the students or some exciting practices for the students to do the exercises. Here is one of my teaching plans.

-Teaching Practice

Procedures of teaching

In the first, second, and third time of my practicum teaching, I used “Pick A Number” strategy to asked some questions related to the material. One of the student will pick a random number from 1-10 and if she/he choose number 9, I will start count the students and the student who get number 9 will answer my question. It worked really well because the students were really excited.

Time Management and Organizing Activities

The allocation of time for every class is different, it spent 1-2 hours. I had 3 classes to teach, in a week I had 8 practicum teaching times. If I had long time for teaching it was easier for me, because I had much time to explain and the students can do their exercise slowly. But if I had short time for teaching it was quite hard for me and also the students because the material of my subject “Media Information Literacy” is quite hard.

Problem Solving

My problem are the materials that I taught, it were new for me and quite hard, because I never learned it yet in my SHS. So, to solve the problem, I had to learn the materials really well.

Classroom Management

It was quite easy to manage my class, because my students are teenager and they understood already what their teachers wanted. Here are some pictures of me while teaching in the classroom.

-Summary and Suggestions

Purpose of Practicum

The purposes from my teaching practicum are :

1. To improve my speaking skill in English;

2. To improve my teaching skill;

3. To learn new culture;

4. To make myself become an independent person.

Procedures of Practicum

There are 4 stages that must be followed by the participants:

1. Observation

2. Teaching Assistant

3. Teaching Practice

4. Reflection and Lesson Learned

I already finished all of those stages and I can feel the improvement in myself. My speaking skill, my teaching skill, the new culture that I learned, and also become an independent person. Thank you so much for SEAMEO, my University that is Lambung Mangkurat University, Saint Mary’s University and Saint Mary’s Senior High School.

Outcomes of Practicum

1. Make my English skills better

2. Make my speaking skills better

3. Learn new culture and also system of education

4. More independent

The Challenge of Practicum

As I mentioned before in my problem and also as the challenge of this teaching practicum is the subjects that I never learned before in my country. In my country, Indonesia, the students in Senior High School haven’t learned that subject. So, it was really challenging for me to learn and teach it to the students in the same time.

Overall Impression

I really thank to my God, my parents, family and friends, my University, SEAMEO, Saint Mary’s University and also SM Senior High School gave me this opportunity to get new experiences life abroad and also get many new things to learn.

Suggestions for Future Improvement

Maybe the subject that participants will get should fit with their field or major.

Thank you so much.
