My Reflection

Prof Ed field study has a great contribution in my life as an aspiring teacher and as a
person, as an aspiring teacher, it let me realize that the role and responsibilities of a teacher is
beyond what I expected and I came to realize that when I tried teaching some of the classes of
my critic teacher and those experiences will be helpful when I will become a teacher someday.
Prof Ed field study has a great contribution to me as a person because through this I was able
to do things I thought I couldn’t do. It made me realize that there are other things I can do. At
first upon hearing the word “demonstration” I am very afraid that I will not able to make it
because what was in my mind is demo teaching is very hard, worse I don’t have any
experiences on teaching but field study subject made it all possible. I was able to
accomplish/do everything and I am proud of myself for that.

Prof Ed field study has made a great contribution to my life as an aspiring teacher and
as a person. As an aspiring teacher, it let me realize that the role and responsibilities of a
teacher are beyond what I expected, and I came to realize that when I tried teaching some of
the classes of my critic teacher, those experiences will be helpful when I become a teacher
someday. Prof. Ed's field study has made a great contribution to me as a person because,
through it, I was able to do things I thought I couldn’t do. It made me realize that there are
other things I can do. At first, upon hearing the word "demonstration," I was very afraid that I
would not be able to make it because what was in my mind was that demo teaching is very
hard. Worse, I don’t have any experience teaching, but my field study subject made it all
possible. I was able to accomplish or do everything, and I am proud of myself for that.

My fear and nervousness are increasing as the demonstration approaches but

fortunately the demonstration is postponed because our critic teacher will travel for some
school activities for a week and he instructed us to handle his classes. My nervousness
suddenly vanished away because I have time to prepare for the final demonstration and happy
because we can practice teaching on his classes before the final demonstration. I thought we
will make lesson plan for each topic in the classes so I made lesson plans for the assigned
topics. When our critic teacher told us to meet him for some final instructions, I’m a little
nervous because I only finished two lesson plans but he did not required us to do lesson plan
so I got relieved, he just instructed that we will just follow and discuss what is in the textbook;
lesson plan is for the final demonstration. A little bit nervous during the first teaching but gone
during the second until the last teaching and there I experienced the real and actual teaching. I
experienced the difficulty of being a teacher from planning how to deliver the topic to handling
the learners especially if the learners are noisy and chaotic. I also experienced the struggle
and effort of a teacher how to make the discussion more engaging and interesting.

As the presentation approached, I felt more uneasy and anxious, but fortunately, it was
postponed because our critique teacher had to travel for a week to participate in school activities. He
gave us instructions on how to handle his classes in his absence from the classroom. We could practice
teaching in his classes before the final demonstration, which relieved the nervousness. I felt fortunate
that I had time to prepare for the final demonstration. I prepared lesson plans for the assigned topics
since I assumed that we would do so for each topic in the classes. I was a little anxious because I had
only finished two lesson plans when our critic teacher instructed us to meet him for some last-minute
instructions. However, he wasn't requiring us to complete a lesson plan, so I felt relieved. He simply
said that the lesson plan was for the final demonstration and that we should just follow and discuss
what is in the textbook.During the first teaching, I felt a little nervous, but that feeling calmed down
during the second and lasted through the last lecture, during which I got to experience real and actual
teaching. I experienced the difficulty of being a teacher from planning how to deliver the topic
to handling the learners especially if the learners are noisy and chaotic. I also experienced the
struggle and effort of a teacher how to make the discussion more engaging and interesting.
 During the final demonstration, many challenges are encountered like me and my
companion has a little misunderstanding on the demonstration schedule. On the morning of
the day of demo teaching, my partner confirmed if I’m the one who will demo first and I’m
shocked because the agreement with our critic teacher that I remember is she will demonstrate
at the first class which is 8:30 and I will demonstrate at 1:00 pm. She insisted that my schedule
is 8:30 and her schedule is 1:00 pm and I told her that I won’t make it to the first demonstration
because it’s already 7:30 and I’m coming from Irisan but it is solved because she is able to
make it for the first demo. Another challenge is during my demonstration, my critic teacher is
late and I don’t know what to do. Three minutes past after 1:00, I messaged sir reminding him
that I will demo in case he forgot. Should I enter the room and start the demo or I will continue
to wait for him, those thoughts are running in my mind then after twelve minutes, sir came and
I started the demonstration. The challenge also there is I started getting nervous because I
know that the planned lesson will not be followed accordingly because the remaining time is
not enough. I fast forwarded the discussion because allotted time is just one hour and as
expected, finish or not finish the students need to submit their assessment activity. Some
challenges are struggle making a lesson plan and not getting enough sleep just to make it.

I learned that despite of many challenges, we still need to continue what was started.
Those challenges are just there to make us even stronger and more determined and
challenges are just part of the process we need to conquer and accept. Final demonstration
and field study are the highlight of my journey in Prof Ed class where everything learned were
put into practice. I will never forget those experiences and all the things learned will not be
wasted but will be passed on to others.
