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

I was supposed to have to take care of the baby section, but the teacher at the Taska asked me to make an exchange with another practical teacher because the baby who cried last week seemed a little comfortable with her body figure. The body figure of the practical teacher likely has similarities with his mother. Through this situation, I had to act quickly and adapt to the situation by thinking of suitable activities that could be done with 2 and 3-year-olds. I did not have any preparation, there are no teaching aids were used in the activity. I just did a spontaneous activity of talking to selected children about pets. The children were very excited to tell the story and I inserted some simple related questions for the children to continue the story. Through these activities, the children can increase their level of confidence, language development, literacy, and communication, and others. This activity can be done again in the future by using other topics.

Today, the teacher at the Taska asked me to make milk for the children. She asked me to ask the other teachers if I did not know the dosage of milk and water for each child. So I learned how to make milk for children even though it was still clumsy. The dosage of milk and water should be according to the way the parents want because the children will probably lose appetite if they drink milk that is not the same as usual. Milk bottles also cannot be shared and need to be sensitive to the matter. This is very interesting in my view because caregivers need to keep all of these things in mind despite having a large number of children.

Teaching aids are one of the important elements in a teaching and learning process regardless of age. This is because teaching aids provide an increase in children’s understanding to understand something. Therefore, the teaching aids must have some important features for them to be effective tools. Among the features that must be present is that the teaching aids must be in line with the flow of time and can be used for a long time. Through teaching aids for the activities carried out, I feel that the teaching aids can only be used for a short time because they are easily damaged. I use an egg carton that has been left for a long time, so it has become easily torn in case of a mistake. All things must be taken into account in making teaching aids. Instead of making it just to be used once.

I saw other practical teachers doing activities where children had to crawl under the frame of a plastic bed which had been clean. In the beginning, the children did not follow the teacher’s instructions because they did not clear with the explanation given. The teacher asked for my help to show how to do the activity by crawling under the bed.  I did it, and a handful of children followed that way well. However, the management of child control must be done well because there is a fear of any unwanted accidents while doing activities.

On the last day of this fifth week, I learned about the importance of two-way communication between the Taska and parents. Taska and parents communicate through the Whatsapp application where all information related to children is shared through the medium. Therefore, parents know the activities and activities performed by their children. I found that parents are happy and satisfied when they see their children doing activities and socializing with other children. I can see that the Taska has carried out its responsibilities to the community and parents.
That's all from me for the fifth week of Practicum at Taska Syaz Gong Badak Branch. Thank you for reading my journey.😉


Stay safe! 💙
