Reflection Paper
Teaching is a difficult profession, whether it's a private
school or a single child's teaching. There is a lot to be done in terms of methods, approaches and strategies. Fortunately, various support and equipment are accessible to facilitate the work of instructors. Teaching aids are teachers' resources that enhance or encourage students' attention in the classroom. For all sorts of lessons, they are important, especially for young and second- language learners. Although some cost money, others may be made from home goods or computers free of charge or simply. Many teachers at all grades find something motivational, stimulating, enjoyable to do and yet maintain your goals ahead can be a real struggle. As a teacher, the proper use and facilitation of teaching aids is totally useful. Similarly, students have enthusiasm, enjoyment and unconscious learning.
A good teacher is not a teacher who can prove he is right but
a good teacher is the one who do his best to get the pupils learn the most from his knowledge. Joshi (2015), states that traditionally classroom situation is teachers stand in front of the students, giving explanations, informing, and instructing. They usually use chalk to write something on the blackboard. The use of multimedia in classroom is a new way of conveying information. It enables the teachers to provide a learning environment with the element of fun learning for the pupils. These arguments show that a teacher should go beyond the boundaries in their creativity in producing and exploring the materials to be used in the primary classroom. I believe that being a noble teacher needs commitment, enthusiasm, patience and love as a teacher is a doctor, a lawyer, a chef, a tour guide and a guidance while students are in school. By using the materials at the right time, a teacher will be able to manage his class well and also provide students with meaningful learning experience.
