THIRD WEEK OF PRACTICUM AT TASKA SYAZ GONG BADAK

     Assalamualaikum Peeps!

How's your day? I hope you always in a pink !

This time I would like to tell you about the third week of industrial training as a practical teacher at Taska Syaz Gong Badak.

10 October 2021 (Sunday)

The practical teacher started making activities after the children ate at 9.30 am. The other activity performed by the practical teacher was the activity of inserting a button into a hole in the cloth. Those activities can provide opportunities for children to practice eye and hand coordination. At the same time, children can train their fine motor because children have to hold the button using their fingers.

Through the activity, I found that the children were interested in the activity because the teacher used colorful and eye-catching fabrics. Therefore, we can see that the color for teaching aids used also plays an important role. So, as an educator, it is necessary to emphasize the important features of teaching aids that will be used in the teaching and learning process.

I caught the children’s attention by showing the teaching aids to be used. Children perform activities in a room different from other children to avoid losing focus due to external distractions. The activity was a color wheel that used paper plates and colored eight types of colors. The children were also able to achieve the objectives set by me where the children were able to pronounce and recognize the colors used. Children can match the color wheel according to the same color.


Each time an activity is created, all teachers are required to send pictures of children's activities in a WhatsApp group with parents. The parents of the children were satisfied with the activities carried out and praised the efforts that had been poured in by the teachers. We feel happy to be praised like that which shows that our efforts have been successful in making teaching aids interesting.

Today I did not provide any activities because today was the other practical teacher's turn to create the activities. While the children were doing activities, other children did not do activities because they were one year old who were already can walk. Therefore, I felt that as a teacher, I must always have the idea to create activities for other children so they can also enhance their development holistically. Planned activities are not necessarily activities that need to use teaching aids. Activities can also be done without materials that require body movements such as doing locomotor movements. Therefore, I need to make sure that children in that category also do activities that stimulate their development.

Today I was able to learn about the importance of the children’s readiness to do something. Because, when the teacher wants to do an activity, a child did not want to do the activity even though had been persuaded by the teacher. The child rarely speaks and can only be heard when the child is playing a game. When it was her turn to do the activity, the child insisted and did not want to hold the materials. I tried to find the cause of the problem and found that the child was distracted by distractions made by other children. Therefore, I need to ensure an environment for children while doing activities because it can affect the children's attention to something. When trying to do activities, children need to be ready so that they do not feel forced. If forced, it will affect children. I need to be more sensitive and find ways to get the children’s attention to do activities in the future.
14 October 2021 (Thursday)

No teaching and learning process was done because children are allowed to play freely. I and the other teachers only acted as facilitators and observers. However, I learned something valuable that I should not be too panicked when an unwanted accident happens. It is because, during the time the children changed diapers before eating at 11.30 am, a child, Sumayyah, was playing with Marissa's pants which were changing diapers. Sumayyah wore the pants up to her ankle and walked around the place. While Marissa was about to wear her pants, Marissa took the pants worn by Sumayyah which resulted in Sumayyah falling and bumping her cheek to the floor. The situation was very thrilling because I witnessed the thing. I continued to take Sumayyah who was crying and persuaded her. I found that Sumayyah's cheeks became reddish and had bruising marks. I informed the matter to the teacher on duty and I was asked to gently poke Sumayyah’s cheeks using hot breath through my mouth. Over time, the redness began to subside and showed the effects of bruising. The teacher took the ice and put it on Sumayyah's cheek. The bruises began to fade but were still visible. I feel that if I panic in that situation, there are chances where I did something wrong. So, in case something untoward happens, I have to always be calm and inform the teacher on duty to get the next instruction. This is because my knowledge and experience are still shallow. I need to study with someone who is experienced in such matters to ensure that I deal with the problem better in the future.
That's all from me for the third week of Practicum at Taska Syaz Gong Badak Branch. Thank you for reading my journey.😉


Stay safe! 💙
