After each group is finished, they exchange papers and present their work in front of the class. for the first group to finish and the answer is correct, I give a gift.

My evaluation form
SUMMARY AND SUGESTION
1.Purpose of Practicum
- To improve quality of students to be good teacher in Southeast Asia
- To develop their teaching skills and pedagogy
- To encourage to always use English in order to be able to become teachers who are ready to compete in the Asean zone
2. Procedures of Practicum
The first producedure, the teacher prepares a lesson plan before starting the lesson and has strategy in class then prepare topics, references, material and guidebooks. After that, the teacher teaching in class and continue with group activity, elaboration and the last is evaluation.
3. Outcomes of Practicum
The right learning method is used to achieve learning goals and has experience and insight to teach in the future, also can evaluate the system and how to teach in each country so that it can be used as a material for future improvement in teaching.
4. The Callenges of practicum
The challenges I face in teaching one of them is the language in which the students use English fluently and also their guidebooks are also English, different from Indonesia which generally uses language. So because it requires me to be even more active in improving my English skills.
The other thing is that the lesson plan used is very detailed and detailed and also the object that I teach is different from my major, namely chemistry, but thanks to the support and guidance of my cooperating teacher, everything feels easy to live through.
5. Overall Impression
The impression obtained by the student teacher is understanding the good way of teaching, and managing the class and managing a good class.
The other impression I got was my always-caring cooperating teacher and student teachers from the Philippines who always accompanied me in observation and teaching as well as students who were always enthusiastic about the lesson and always asked questions, such as in the diamond class that students were always actively asking, always fast in working on group assignments and with good answers too. One more thing is my impression is that their English is fluent, maybe because it’s indeed their second language, and there are no students in junior high school, senior high school who are seen smoking.
6. Suggestion for Future Improvement
I don’t have many suggestions for this school because the learning and education system is very good. In fact, I got a lot of lessons and suggestions for future improvements from the teacher who worked with me Mam Trance and my evaluator Sir Jack. In fact, I am very grateful to be able to join the sea teacher program and become part of ISAT University.
