PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE

Didactics II has brought me a lot of challenges among which is going to a Junior High School. I am talking about my teaching practice. This teaching practice has been totally different from the one I did last year with kindergarten. During this teaching practice, I have faced many challenges such as knowing how to get my students’ attention since they were very noisy and how to keep a good learning environment.

After reading some material about how to teach effectively and having some pieces of advice from my teacher, everything started to be nice. I made reflective teaching, so I could realize that my students were very noisy because they were not interested on what and how I was teaching. Therefore, I changed everything on my lesson plan. I started to present appealing materials and funny activities. Doing so, my students started to pay attention and to participate in class. From then on, everything was nice, so I continue having funny activities on my lesson plan.

To sum up, I have learnt that like children, adolescents learn by doing as well. Not only do adolescents like being sited but also practicing what they learn. Learning through funny activities, not only do they learn but also they have fun.
