1.3 Teaching System

The SMAN 2 Banjarmasin held class from Monday to Friday. The class starts at 7:30 am up to 4:00 pm. The allotted time for each subject is 1 hour and 30 minutes. One subject is divided into two period and every period has 45 minutes. The students just stay in one room and the teachers are the one who goes to the classroom. SMAN 2 Banjarmasin follows the Student-Centered type of teaching. They want to engaged the student in the class discussion. They want the students to gain or discover knowledge on their own and the teacher will just be a help on the learning process. In this type of teaching system the student became more confident and globally competitive.

1.4 Materials and Other Learning Sources

1. Textbooks

2. Media

3. Games

4. Lectures

5. Visual Aids

6. Laboratory Equipment

1.5 Measurement and Evaluation System

SMAN 2 Banjarmasin have 2 semester in a year. They are using a grade point scale. Unlike in the Philippines, they are using grading system the grades are given in numbers 1-100 but in SMAN 2 Banjarmasin the grades are given in letters A-E. Each letters have corresponding equivalent grade. Below is the table showing the equivalent grade:

1.6 Curriculum

SMAN 2 Banjarmasin follows the kurikulum 2013. The curriculum is divide into three parts, primary school (Years 1-6), junior secondary school (Years 7-9) and senior (Years 10-12). The Curriculum is divided into Four Cores

1. The First Core Competency of Kurikulum 2013 refers to the religious doctrines that are practised by Indonesian students.

2. The Second Core Competency is the social attitude competency and refers to the bases of Indonesian Culture, especially as they relate to society and the existence of students.

3. The Third and Fourth Core Competencies are about the knowledge and skills for each subject.

2. Pedagogical Contents

2.1 Teaching Methods

A teaching method compromises the principles and methods used by teachers to enable student learning. My mentor, Bapak Sugeng makes use of the Lecture Method for his Grade 11 Science classes in their Physics Subject. Bapak Sugeng will usually introduce or explain the topic to the students especially the formula and how it was derived. He would then give examples of worded problem regarding their topic afterwards he would give problems for the student to answer on their own. In this kind of method the teachers are more active and students are passive but my mentor would always ask question to the students to keep them attentive and to avoid them being bored by the lesson especially that the subject is Physics. Physics is commonly known as a hard and boring subject for the students so engaging them to the discussion will help them understand the lesson better.

2.2 Learning Materials

Learning Materials are the resources that the teachers use to deliver their instruction better. Bapak Sugeng made use of Book entitled “ Buku Fisika Kelas XI SMA” (Book Of Physics Class 11 SMA) and worksheets. These learning materials are important because they can significantly increase student understanding and achievement. A worksheet may provide opportunities to practice new skill gained in class. This process will help in increasing the learning process by allowing student to explore knowledge independently. And books may serve as a reference material for the students. v

2.3 Sources of Learning and Technology

In terms of technology, considering that my mentor is a senior teacher who is not exposed to modern use of technology in teaching he would opt to use the traditional method of teaching so I didn’t get the chance to observe using modern technology like projectors, power points and etc. This in a way could be advantageous to teachers when technology and computer fails, we all go back to the basics.

2.4 Authentic Assessment

As I stated earlier, my mentor is a traditional teacher so he would also use traditional type of assessments for him to assess the knowledge gain by the students. He would use pen and paper test exam like problem solving regarding the lesson in physics.

Preliminary Activities

Teacher’s Activity	Student’s Activity
A.    Greetings A blessed morning class! Have you already eaten your breakfast?   B.     Classroom management     Ok class! Before you take your seats, kindly arrange your chairs properly and pick up the small pieces or any form of trash under your chair.    Kindly look at your seatmate class, is there any absent for today?   Very good class! C.    Review of the part lesson    This time, who among has an idea about our last topic?   Very Good, Class! Lesson Proper A.    Motivation   Ok class, today we will play a game called 4 Pics 1 Word. I will show 4 pictures in the screen and all you have to do is the guess the word. Are you ready now  class? (The teacher will flash the pictures.) (The teacher will give reward to those who guess the word correctly) B.     Discussion   Class did you enjoy the game?             So now what do you think our lesson      for today?   Exactly! So class, our lesson for is all about Heat, Internal Energy and Work. First, let’s talk about what is weather. Anyone from the group can give their idea about weather? Precisely! Weather is the changes in the atmosphere that occur on a daily basis. Also it is the short term condition of the atmosphere. Did you get it? Now, what have you observe in our weather? Every day or every hour? Very Good! Those are just two among the four seasons that we have here on earth. But first, let’s talk about what is a season. Who among the class can give their idea what is a season? Precisely! Season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions. In connection to this the earth has its four seasons. (The teacher will show a picture of the four season which are autumn, winter, spring and summer) All of this happens due to our climate on earth. Now, who among you can define what is climate? Very Good! Also climate is a long term condition in the atmosphere. In connection to this, Indonesia belongs t0 the tropical climate in the world. The weather is changing such as sunny, cloudy and rainy. This is because of the three aspects which were the sun, wind, and water. Weather also affects human starting from the availability of natural resources, transportation equipment, and even the smooth human activities. Now would you like to give your ideas what are the other things that weather affects human live? Very good Class! Now, did you know weather, seasons and climate also the things that weather affects human lives? By this time, I will show you a video clip and it is a song. This song will help you for further understanding about our topic. Are you ready? Before we proceed to our next lesson, let’s have an activity. I will group you into 4 groups, each group should possess 7 members. (The teacher will properly group the pupils into 4 groups.) I have 4 set puzzles here, per group should fix the puzzle and write the correct name for each puzzle, afterwards per group will present what they see in the puzzle. Each group will present the puzzle in front and each group should have 1 presenter. I will give you 5 minutes in doing your activity. Do you understand it? Are you ready? (The teacher will give the puzzle to the 4 groups.) If that so, timer starts now! Stop class! Kindly settle your work. And listen to the presenters as they present their work. Very good, Class! Now go back to your seats (the teacher will count 5). In connections to the different questions I raised to you class while you are presenting, this questions cannot be formulated or created without the use of the WH questions. And I think class, you have an idea what are the 5W+1H questions. Anyone from the class? Exactly! The Wh- questions are who, what, why, where, when, which and how. (The teacher will list down the Wh- question in the board.) Who- person/animal What – thing/doing word Where – location/direction When – time (past/present/future.) Which – means/ implies choosing one element. Why – asking for reason How – amount or the other way Now, let’s give some examples. (The teacher will give examples each questions.) I think it is your turn to give examples each question. Anyone from the class ca give their examples? I have a simple song for the Wh- question class, so you better listen carefully and watch. Did you get it class? Very Good, Class! C.    Generalization Do you have any question class? If that so, I’ll be the one who will ask questions. Are you ready class? Ok class, what are the 4 seasons? Exactly! The four seasons are autumn, spring, winter, and summer. Now who among you can differentiate weather, season and climate? Very good, Class! Now, can you give the things that weather affects us humans? Well said Class! For the last question, what are the 5W + 1H question? Awesome, Class! Now all of you are ready to our activity. Are you class? Class, before we go to our activity. We should remember that we must take good care our environment by avoiding littering, using plastics, and cutting trees. With that we can show our sympathy and love to our planet. To avoid having tremendous weather and climate. Also let us explore more things in this world don’t be afraid to go out with your own boxes. D.    Application Now, I want you to answer the following questions on the board. I need 14 volunteers to answer. (The teacher will show the four seasons and the students should write what season is in picture and identify a statement or sentence where it was under (Form of game which was entitled Roda Kata Pertanyaan.)	Good Morning Ma’am!                            Yes, Ma’am! (The pupils will arrange their chairs and pick all trashes in their surroundings.)                        None, Ma’am!             (The pupils will raise their hands and give their ideas about the previous topics.) Our past lesson Ma’am is all about Introduction to thermodynamics                           Yes, Ma’am!                                                  Yes, Ma’am! (The pupils cooperate attentively.)                         Yes Ma’am Ma’am it seems like it is all about heat, internal energy and work. (The pupils will raise their hands and participate.) Weather is the changes in the atmosphere that occur on a daily basis. Yes, Ma’am! (The pupils will raise their hands and participate.) Ma’am we observed that there are times that it is rainy and sunny. (The pupils will raise their hands and participate.) Season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions. (The pupils will listen and take a look at picture that the teacher shown them.) (The pupils will be going to raise their hands and participate.) Climate is the average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow, and rain in a place over the course of years. (The pupils will listen carefully with the lesson and answer the question by giving their ideas.) Yes, Ma’am! Yes, Ma’am! (The pupils will listen to the instructions carefully.) Yes, Ma’am! (The pupils will start doing the activity.) (The pupils will stop working and present in front of the class.) (The pupils will settle down.) (The pupils will participate.) The 5W+1H questions are who, what, when, where, why and how Ma’am. (The pupils will listen carefully with the lesson.) (The pupils will give examples in each question.) (The pupils will watch and listen and sing along with the song.) Yes, Ma’am! None, Ma’am! Yes, Ma’am! (The pupils will participate.) The four seasons are autumn, spring, winter, and summer. (The pupils will participate.) Weather is the changes in the atmosphere that occur on a daily basis while season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions and climate is the average measurements of temperature, wind, humidity, snow, and rain in a place over the course of years.

4. Teaching Practice

4.1 Procedures of Teaching

On my first day in SMAN 2 Banjarmasin, I introduced myself in front of the 35 class one by one. It’s a little bit tiring but I have fun in interacting with the students.

On the first week, I just observed the class of Bapak Sugeng in Fisika (Physics). He is using the traditional way of teaching. Sometimes, when the students have activities Bapak Sugeng will let me help them in answering the word problems. Also, he let me introduce myself and my country. I also shared some of the Filipino Culture, Education System and our greetings.

Before teaching in the class, I consulted with my mentor Bapak Sugeng, S. Pd and my supervisor Dr. Arif Sholahuddin, MSi about my lesson plan. And some adjustments were properly corrected.

On my actual teaching, my lesson is about thermodynamics. I did make use of the Problem-solving method. First, I let my students play the game 4 Pics 1 Word in order to motivate them and I also gave some chocolates as reward for those who answer correctly. Afterwards, I introduce the terms we may encounter during the lesson. Furthermore, I raised questions to measure their background knowledge regarding the lesson so that if they already have knowledge about the topics I will just give supplemental lessons if needed and then I proceeded to the discussion proper. At the last part of the discussion I showed them the relations of work, heat and energy before introducing the formula. After that, problem solving is the next task given. A worksheet is provided for them to practice the new knowledge gain. In addition, there was a presentation of their work in front of the class to help them acquire self-confidence in speaking in front.

Before ending the class, a round down review of lessons tackled was conducted by the teacher.

4.2 Time Management and Organizing Activities

In my experience in teaching at SMAN 2 Banjarmasin, I didn’t have much problem in class and time management because most of my students are very obedient and follows instructions diligently. This is one of the things I admired to the Indonesian Education System the Students are very disciplined. I can call the attention of my students in only one call but still my interaction among my students is lively and enjoyable.

4.3 Problems Encounter in Teaching

The very big problem I encountered during my teaching in SMAN 2 Banjarmasin is the language barrier. In one class more than half of the students don’t speak english but still they can understand it. Good thing ULM gave each one of us a buddy to help us in interpreting with the students. My buddy is Nuka. He will always translate my teachings for the student to better understand the lesson and if the student have question and they can’t speak english nuka will translate it for me to understand. For me to have an interacting class I also learn some bahasa words especially the Physics terms.

Secondly, reading materials are all written in bahasa. No english version is available. And I was lucky to have a buddy who has the patience in translating the syllabus and books in Physics for me. Afterwards, I will then search the internet for further supporting information needed on the lesson.

4.4 Others

One unexpected opportunity was given to me. I was invited by my supervisor, Dr. Arif Sholahuddin, MSi, to become the resource speaker to talk about the Science Education in the Philippines. My audience were the Science Major students in their 6^th semester and also some of the science teachers. Of which I was greatly overwhelmed and thankful for the opportunity. The talk became lively and interactive. I hope that they were able to learn something about the Science Education in the Philippines that they can adopt. And in return the learning that I also received from them will be also adopted by me.

Summary and Suggestions

My wonderful experience with the program is that it helps me appreciate their love for their culture and being patriotic. Which makes me think that in applying it in my profession in teaching; a teacher must always appreciate and respect the individuality of his/her students and most of all the patience and passion for imparting knowledge? I was also able to see a different kind of education system that is different from the Philippines, which makes me realized that we may have different kinds of approaches, for as long as our aim is to educate and it works, then all is well.

My suggestion to this prestigious program is that perhaps in my humble opinion we could have a proper venue conducive for continuous links and communications, wherein those new types of systems of educating, if it is feasible for other countries to adopt. Then this could be use to improve their respective education systems.
