EPC 2403 Teaching Practicum 2a

Your feelings, beliefs, problems and questions

For this week I feel that I know everything about teaching I know how to deal with annoying students. I face
problem in the school It was hard for me to teach the students English subject because I didn’t see the teacher
teach them an English also when I try to teach them they say to me teacher shahad we didn’t understand
anything please speak in Arabic I solve this problem by say the sentence in English then I translate it in Arabic.

What you have learnt throughout the week

For the second week the unit was the same last week it is about my garden and plants. I learn that we need to
punish the students who not listen for the teacher. “Punishment can be used effectively, particularly for
behaviors that are dangerous or need speedy remediation”. So we need to punish them to make them change
their behavior. I learn that teacher should be preparing for everything because the teacher should be ready for
all time. Also I learn how to organize the time inside the class how to change from subject to other subject.

School Experiences - Theory and practice + links to references

For this week the director will observe my MST in Wednesday and she was nervous all the week she say to me
can you think with me do you have an new idea and I need your help we make their lesson together we was
think she tiled me that the activity should be using their hand more than look to the object because the
students like to touch the object because they explore the thing. “The more capable any child is in their
exploration of objects with their hands, the better they are able to formulate concepts that are critical to
learning”. So we make the all activity by make the students touch the objects.
