The second meeting of PETA was very awesome. The lecturer gave us opportunity to watch movie about thematic learning that was implemented in elementary school. I and my team were ordered to find some interesting parts in the movie and find some characteristics of effective teaching and ineffective teaching. This kind of thing was like our practice to assess the learning process in the class. We needed to explain and give prove if we found effective teaching in the class or ineffective teaching.
There were some interesting parts that I remembered. The first interesting part is the opening, the elementary students just remained me when I was an elementary student too. The way they prayed together was like my praying condition in my elementary school. They had a lot of spirit to learn, their voice is so cohesive, and they looked so ready to study in the class. Then, there was the observation activity outside the class. They felt so happy to observe the rambutan tree together. That is the point, we as the next generation of teacher should create the good atmosphere to our students so they could feel so comfort in our class.
In our previous meeting, we were refreshed again about the Bloom’s Taxonomy. Regarding with that, I memorized the six items of Bloom’s Taxonomy. The first until the third were remembering, understanding, and applying. It was known by LOTS (Low Order Thinking Skills) and the three last items were analyzing, evaluating, and creating that was known by HOTS (High Order Thinking Skills). The Bloom’s Taxonomy was about the six cognitive processes varying in the level of complexity.
The next activity in my previous meeting was my lecturer told us about the twin sins of curriculum. The first is Activity-focused: Hands-on without minds-on that means the teacher only gives the students games or fun activity but no cognitive of students involved. The second is Coverage approach: teach, test, and hope for the best that means the teacher do the monotonous learning process. The teacher only teach the students commonly, then give the test and only hope for the best result of students without doing the best.
In the end of meeting, we needed to make lesson plan about certain subject. This activity trained us as a teacher to analyze the objectives to students, whether the objectives are appropriate or not? We had to think hard because it was not easy. We had to decide it carefully because the making process of basic competence (KD) and competence standard (SK) should think about the students need. We also needed to integrate it with match activity and relate the compatibility and the objectives.
That was great meeting because I can dig deeper to find the principal of effective teaching and assessment. Every meeting could create me to be the effective teacher. It was my expectation.
