Mock Teaching

Hi fellow friends and teachers,

Today I am going to share about my first mock teaching experience. Yes, today was our assignment submission together with the mock teaching.  We were required to choose one of the schools of thought and to come up with 3 lesson plan with attached appendix. So I had chosen the third school of thought which will be the behavioural school of thought.

The reason, I would like to emphasize more on behaviour because, in reality a person is valued or judged by his/ her behaviour approach, and when a person improves their behaviour for betterment the cognitive and humanistic leaning process can take place effectively and thoroughly. Behaviourism has its own theories to relate to make the teaching and learning process easy.  Appropriate behaviour can bring all other things with the flow.

My lesson plans was plan based on;

1.    Environment, proper ways to plant and prevent nature. (mock teaching)

2.    Patriotism, recall Malaysian history by relating historical places and cross word puzzle.

3.    Prevent animal, ways to help abused animal by viewing a video and sharing ideas by doing I-think mind map.

The teaching experience was awesome, something really new. Because, i have planned the lesson plan and while my friends pretend to be the students. I am really blessed to have friend like them. It is because, there were so supportive and cooperative while I was conducting my lesson in the class.

I was the second last person to present my lesson and after everyone has complete them comes the feedback session by our lecturer. it was a positive reinforcement as for me, she emphasized that, I need to be more formal in my communicating language. It is because, I conducted the lesson as I was talking to my friends. Actually I was, but as a future teacher I need to be more formal while communicating.

She also told that the lesson should be carried out as planed cannot be changed or skip steps. At that moment, I realised that i have missed a step due to nervousness. And I need to make sure the time is sufficient to complete the lesson as planned, time management is really important and as my students carried out the activity I need to compliment them as a reward so that they will have the interest to do the following activity.

Last but not least, she told that my activity was really interesting and will stimulate students interest to participate.Overall it was new experiences for me and I need to brush up at few steps to be a professional teacher. I hope and believe as time goes on I will reach up to that level by working hard.

That is the end of mock teaching experience. Please give your opinion about my mock teaching and keep viewing my blog. See you soon, until than take care and enjoy the day ahead.

Thank you.
