Reflection on The Microteaching Experience
My friends and I were teaching in groups and we also assessed each other. From the
session, I learned many things. The first thing is I have learned how to teach effectively start
from the opening until the end of the class. From the rubric, now I know that to have an
effective opening, for example, teacher should be able to get students attention and ready to
learn. Besides, teacher needs to have an opening activity that relates to the lesson. I also
understand that to have an effective teaching and learning process, teacher should pay
attention to some elements such as the content, the presentation, the teacher’s presence,
visuals, media and technology used and how to do good and effective closure. All of the
elements must be relate and appropriate to be used in the classroom.
The second thing that I get from the session is about preparation. From the activity, I have
learned that as a teacher preparation is the most important thing. Preparation is not only
about the lesson plan but also in many things like the elements I have pointed out. Teacher
should have “plan b”, “plan c”, as many as possible since there are a lot of possibilities
happen which can be out of the expectation. For instance, when I did the microteaching the
case that I found was when I have a video to watch in the classroom but the devices did not
work (the sound cannot be heard and the picture cannot be displayed). To solve that kind of
problem my friends and I have prepared other plan such as substituted it with power point or
did the role play. That also might be found in the real classroom. The other thing that I get is
how to work in group. I realize that as a teacher (candidate), I will not work alone. There will
be time to work together with other teachers who also in the same field with me. I have
learned to work cooperatively with other teachers; in this case is my friends. How to divides
the responsibilities fairly and do it in full responsibilities is one thing includes there.
Actually there are so many things that I got and learned from the session. Almost all
parts from the beginning until the end I can clearly understand my strengths and
weaknesses. The only thing that I want to know is that any relation between teacher
presence and the effectiveness in teaching. Teacher presence is the way teacher performs
in the classroom such as how to use nonverbal and verbal communication skills
appropriately. I also want to learn about how to improve my presence and my
communication skills, and how to having good confidence beside by doing practice regularly.

CRITICAL REFLECTION
Reflection on the processes that you have gone through from the beginning until the
end of the coursework

Frankly speaking, this is the coursework or project that I think is the most difficult to
be completed, since it required many aspects. In addition, there are about five sub tasks that
are needed to do. The tasks are sourcing and presenting information in graphic organisers,
lesson planning, making a portfolio, microteaching on the lesson planning and two
reflections need to be critically written.
Before I started doing this coursework, I go through the question again and again, for
a full understanding. My group and I did some discussions on how to start doing this
coursework. We did go to the library constantly just to look for information and sources about
listening and speaking articles. And thank god, because we found numerous books about
the teaching listening and speaking skills. As we are now using the new syllabus, which is
Primary School Standard Curriculum (KSSR), these two skills are integrated into one lesson,
if compared to our previous syllabus; Primary School Integrated Curriculum (KBSR).
Individually, we have to develop a lesson plan on teaching these two skills. Before I
start doing so, I searched for the information about KSSR. I needed to understand more
about this in order to implement a relevant teaching and learning lesson planning. For group
work, we divided tasks among us. Since the sub task 1 required us to look for six articles,
each one of us searched for two articles. The articles have to be transferred into graphic
organiser.
Throughout the time of completing this coursework, I have learnt many things. Now, I
know the fundamental of working together. Cooperation matters. The patience,
determination and perseverance are also crucial for the sake of producing an excellent and
complete coursework.
As for the microteaching session, by looking at others’ ways of delivering
microteaching, I have learnt on how to modify my own ways of teaching. I think I still have
many things to be improved; in terms of language use, word choices, and the level of
confidence. In a nutshell, it can be said that, as a whole, this coursework give me many
positive impacts, by giving me an exposure of real teaching.
