During this course, I have discovered

Pedagogy in education is a course that will be a stepping stone for our teaching career. This is because, during this course I have learnt on a lot of new things that I never heard or see before this. In this post, I will like to share my feelings when entered the first lesson of pedagogy class. Before enter to the class, I just think that this course as same as the course I take semester before this, such as the method of learning that used in semester courses. But for this course is different from others because after I went through the first lesson of this course, I feel little bit nervous on how I am going to give my best to my lecture Madam Ng.  I realise  that I have to changed some learning method that I have been used before this in my learning process. From the realisation, I try to give my best as possible in every class I attended. One of the example is I never touched my hand phone during the lessons and this help me to stay focus on my learning process. From every pedagogy class, I have learnt something new that enhance me in my learning process.

First of all, I have discovered the importance of using technologies in conducting lessons. Before this, I just think that white board and a marker  tool is enough for a teacher to conduct a lessons. After went through pedagogy classes, I realise that technologies plays an important role in making the learning and teaching to be effective. One of the example, that my lecture uses in our class pad let website. Before the course, I have never been heard of this at all. Pad let website is a browser where students can give their opinion in the topic and also the opinions can discuss among the class. The website is really helpful for me by comparing my idea and others about the topic and my lecture can rectify my mistake on the spot. The method help us to stay focus in our learning environment. This method will be one of my teaching method as well as in future.

Moreover, I also discovered the blogger.com. In my second class, my lecture teach me on how to set our blogger account. The blog will be our assignment. We need to post our reflection of every week class. The blog method is really awesome. This is because, when every time I am doing my reflection I will try to recall the whole lesson that what we have learnt from beginning until the end of the lesson. In order of that, I will remember each of the lessons I have learnt from the class without referring  any notes. Furthermore, the blogger really help to reduce of paper for our assignments. This is because, in blog we also can design it according to our ideas and also the assignments we publish no need to print and showed to our lecture. It will the use of money in our assignments rather than spending money for just printing the assignments.

In addition, I also discovered my school of taught that I will be used in my teaching method. Before this, I only know what is my philosophy of education. But after the pedagogy lesson I also find out my teaching method that I will be used in my  teaching activities to make more effective. 

Furthermore, I also discovered the classroom management  and classroom rules are the key to manage an effective learning and teaching process. During this topic we had a discussion on the rules in the classroom, I was exposed to many different kind of situations given by lecture Madam Ng and also my fellow classmates in the discussion on how to face different aspect of situation in managing the classroom. The discussion is really gave me a lot of information on how to prepare myself into when i enter the teaching world. As a reflection of that week, Madam Ng ask us to create our own classroom rules that can manage our teaching activity well. To answer the question, I have done a lot of research on the rules of the classroom. These prove that this course is providing me a opportunity to prepare myself more into the real world of teaching.

Besides that, I also discovered the importance of lesson plan as well. During the preparation of my mock teaching I find a little bit difficult in organizing my lesson plan. This is because this is my first mock teaching and lesson plan preparation. However, the guidance that Madam Ng gave to us is really helpful me to proceed the lesson plan preparation. Therefore, lesson plan is a guidance for an educator to conduct the lessons in class.

Next, I also learned on how to prepare slides, handouts and worksheet for students. Before this, for slides I always focus on decorative stuffs rather than on focusing on points. During the lesson, Madam Ng taught me on how to prepare slides in a proper way and detailed. This tips is really helpful for me to realise my mistake on preparing slides for presentation.

Last but not least, I also discovered that teacher job is not an easy job as others think especially my parents. Teacher responsibility is not only conducting lessons for students but it is more than that such as preparing handouts, worksheets and etc. As an educator, we also should make our teaching method should effective to students learning.

I also like to take this opportunity to thank Madam Ng for providing me a proper guidance and advice that I need for myself to enter the world of teaching. Every single lessons she teach us is really make me more knowledgeable from day to day. This is not my last post on this blog but after this course also, I will try my level best to make this website to be more informatics. Thanks alot my lecture Madam Ng and also my fellow classmates who have a supporters during this course.
