SUMMARY AND SUGGESTION

Purposes of practicum

The purposse of practicum are to developed our teaching skills and pedagogy, improved english skill, gain a broader regional and world view and prepared be a good teacher inthe future. I learned a lot from my mentor, coordinator, the students, my friends, my buddies, and Thai people.

Now, I know how to teaching science with the modern style and can made the student easier to understand about the lesson, how to manage the class and manage the time, and prepared me be a better to start my journey became the international teacher after i have done my internship program.  I have learned and appreciated the different religious and culture during the exchange.

Procedures of practicum

This program held for a month. I had a lot experiences and activities during this program. First week were orientation and observation. We observed the school and our mentor teaching in the class. Second week were made a lesson plan based on curriculum and  school syllabus and teaching assistant, we help our mentor and coorperating with the students in class. Third week was teaching practice. Last week were teaching practice, evaluation and reflection. In our free day or weekend our coordinator also take us for traveling and look around the city.

Outcomes of practicum

This program help me to improved myself. I got more experiences from this program and here were things that i felt improve :

• My english skill has improved. After i joined with this program, i can speak english without thinking too much
• Be more confident. Before i joined with this program it is to hard for me to spoke english in front of the people, but now, i can handle this and became more confident.
• Time management. I became more discipline and respectful of the time and always tried to come on time.
• Classroom management. I can manage the large class and my mentor help me how to handle it.
• Be organized. I keep everythings organized and tidy.

The challenges of practicum

The challenge for me were when teaching science especially for physics in english which is not my mother tongue. How to make the students understood easier about the lesson.

Overall information

I really enjoy this program. There are a lot of experiences, knowledge, relations help me improve my teaching skill and english skill. Thai people are so kind and greet us harmly, every time we met student’s they always give us “wai”

Suggestion for future improvement

Suggestion for future improvement, i hope this program can held for long time not only a month, because this program is very important to help the students teacher to explore them self and open their mind about be a international teacher. I just can say thank you to SEAMEO to who provided this exchange program, CRRU as my receiving university, CRMS 6 (tessaban 6) as my practicum school and give me a lot of experiences and knowledge there, and my beloved university, UNIB who give me the opportunity to me. Last but not least to all of my friends in this program that keep urge me and support me.
