I did once the simulated teaching last semester and that was also Dr. Edwin’s class and another time three days ago. What can I say? I have improved from the first but still I would like to give a better presentation. The first thing I would like to change is by getting interesting videos or pictures to present during the set induction stage. Why I say so, it is because during that particular stage students will give respond to me whether they are interested to follow my lessons or not. I realise the way to attract them is by showing them what they want to see and not showing them boring pictures like a King or a castle. They want to see something like a demon (The Ring), garden with fences (Selfish Mr. Pederson) and cool video clips that has suspense in it. I can give excuse that I do not have enough time to find for all that but me, as a student should not give such excuses.
The second thing I would like to change is have good class control. The students are not paying attention! They are busy with their own work! Even though they are my course mates but it is quite difficult to control them. So the next time I have my simulated teaching, I will ask them to fill in the seats at the front because at the back they open their laptops and in their own world. Even after I pass the worksheets, some push it at a side and continue doing their ‘stuff’. When I raise my voice and ask them to pay attention, they start showing faces. This makes me think on how it will be when I am teaching my ‘real’ future students. This situation makes me to be prepared on whatever that may come.
Miss Kasthoori told her experience to class where a student refused to learn and slept when Dr. Edwin just at the back of the class evaluating her teaching. That sounds scary but different students have different characters and I as a teacher need to go through it. In a way, I should be thankful to my course mates for not paying attention and that keeps me aware of my future student’s attitude.
Good luck teachers!
