EPC 2403 Teaching Practicum 2a

Your feelings, beliefs, problems and questions

For the first day in the kindergarten I feel nervous I was thinking if the class I will be teaching they will accept me
or not? I went to the kg 2/3 its around 27 students and it is too much I was think if I can deal with this students
what if the students don’t listen to me? My MST say to me if you want to be a good teacher you should make
the students love you such as, teach the students, speak with them and make good relationships then they will
be connect with you.

What you have learnt throughout the week

For the first weeks the unit is about my garden and animals my MST say to me that I should try to teach the
students and I will observing you she say that is good for you to make practice to improve your teaching.
“Teachers’ beliefs, practices and attitudes are important for understanding and improving educational
processes”. I teach them Science subject it is about insects students was happy because I will teach them it was
annoying in class I make only two activities so the other two groups will play inside the classroom I don’t like
this way. I learn that I should change the rule of this class in the next observing. I need to foxes for the manage
the class my MST only talk without use the materials I don’t like this way and I will use bell to make the students
come bake to the mat. For the next observing I will do my best to teach the students in good way.

School Experiences - Theory and practice + links to references

This week I noted that my MST don’t use any materials for the transition she manage her class only by talking if
the students didn’t do what the teacher say she will shout to them I don’t like this way in my opinion I think that
is important to use materials for transition” Provide verbal and nonverbal cues before transitions (e.g, ringing a
bell)”. If she use the bell or clap her hand it will be better than talking.
