“My Happiest Week”


My Significant Experiences
Monday, 12th February 2018 (Day 22)
That day, I taught at 10B, 10C, 10F, and 10A about Angles Formed by Secants and Tangents. That is my first time taught in that class. I gave the students some activities in groups and they are very enthusiasm with their task. I taught at the morning and after that I just observe Ma’am Bayao in another class.
Tuesday, 13th February 2018 (Day 23)
           I taught the same topic of yesterday at 10D and 10E in that day. They were doing their activities in groups also, but they were very noisy.
Wednesday, 14th February 2018 (Day 24)
          It was valentine day. All observers from SLU Laboratory High School (Junior and Senior) were prepared a short program to celebrate it. The program started at 09:00 AM until 09:30 AM. I was very happy and sad in the same time. I was happy because I fell so accepted but I felt sad because time flight so fast. I can’t describe it in my words but I felt all in my heart.
          In the afternoon, I taught at 10F and 10C. I was continued the topic that they learn at Monday.

Thursday, 15th February 2018 (Day 25)
          That day, I have no classes because it was my last day in the school. I just said goodbye to Ma’am Bayao and the teachers that I met. I hope that I can say goodbye to all the students that I teach and took some pictures together. But I didn’t saw all of them.
          In the afternoon, we had farewell party after earthquake drill. It was start at 02:30 PM in perfecto building. All of student exchange from Indonesia perform sang a song “Laskar Pelangi”.



Friday, 16th February 2018 (Day 26)
          I do my report from morning until 04:00 PM. After that, I went to karaoke with some of observers in SLU LHS.
In the evening, organizer of LRH dormitory arranged a small farewell party for all the members of student exchange who stayed in dormitory a month. They were very kind so I was speechless.
Saturday, 17th February 2018 (Day 27)
          I was finished all my report in that day. In the afternoon, I went to the restaurant with Ma’am Ruby, Ma’am Kate and all of math majors from student exchange. Then we went to the market to buy some things. After that we just stay at Burham Park until evening.
          In the evening, we met some of buddies to say goodbye. Then, 5 of us leave Baguio at 09:00 PM. There are me, Ghoffar, Mila, Aliya, and Alfian while the other will leave Baguio at Sunday morning. Ma’am Tess and Ma’am Bless were accompanied us in the SLU’s van.
Sunday, 18th February 2018 (Day 28)
          We arrived in Manila at 02:30 AM. Aliya is the first person that we deployed at airport because her flight on 06:00 AM. Then we went to embassy of Indonesia to deployed Alfian there. After that, Ma’am Tess and Ma’am Bless were accompanied us to our hotel in Manila, because our flight (me, Ghoffar, and Mila) is on Monday morning.
          We could check in at 06:00 AM. We take a rest for a few times. We went to intramuros and walked around Manila until evening.
Monday, 19th February 2018 (Day 29)
          We had check out from the hotel at 05:00 AM. We stayed at Ninoy Aquino International Airport and wait for our flight at 08:00 AM. That was the end of our journey in Philippines especially in this program.

Problems Encountered
In the fourth week of this program, I don’t feel my internally problem anymore except my emotional because I feel happy and sad in the same time. My problem is only how to teach about theorem in here. Since in Indonesia I didn’t yet teach math with theorem. Because in Indonesia, we are learn math only by the formula. We learn about the theorem when we are in university, and that is only for the students of math majors.

Problems Hurdled
I more often discuss with my cooperating teacher about material and how to teach about math theorem in Philippines especially at SLU. Then, I always give spirit for my soul every time to handle my emotional problem.

“A Memorable Week”

My Significant Experiences
Monday, 5th February 2018 (Day 15)
          It was be my first time to teach math in Philippines especially in SLU Laboratory High School. I was nervous and I felt not so well because I still tired after city tour one day ago. I had some prepared to teach at this day. But suddenly earthquake came and then all class was suspended.
Tuesday, 6th February 2018 (Day 16)
          In that day, I had two classes for teach about chords and arcs. First, I taught at 10E (Mapagkaisa) and Ma’am Ruby was observed me. There was any trouble because I used projector but the extension was not here. So Joanne Bolla as my buddy helped me to find it. Then when she has coming brought the extension, my laptop battery was getting low and I forgot brought my charger. It was very disordered for me. But at least, the lesson must go on. Then in the afternoon, I taught at 10F (Mapayapa) and Ma’am Bayao was accompanied me. After that, I had a discussed with Ma’am Bayao and she gave me some trick and suggestion to teach another class with the same topic better.

Wednesday, 7th February 2018 (Day 17)
          In that day, I taught at 10F, 10E, and 10C about chords and arcs. I am ready with some suggestion from Ma’am Bayao based on my class yesterday. In all the class, I felt better than yesterday. The students more participate actively during the discussion. I was happy on that day.
Thursday, 8th February 2018 (Day 18)
          I taught at 10 F (Mapayapa) again to continue my lesson on Tuesday. But in that thay, all the students more participate actively during the discussion also.

          In that day, I taught at 10C, 10A, and 10B. Remainder that I prepared my lesson plan included the material and some instrument to teach at the next week. I was stay at the attic in the school until evening.
Saturday, 10th February 2018 (Day 20)
          I met Ma’am Ruby for pre and post conference. She gave me any suggestion to teach in the next time here in SLU.


Sunday, 11th February 2018 (Day 21)
          We came together in front of Men’s dormitory at 03:00 AM. Our agenda today is tour to Ilocos. We leave Bagio early because Ilocos is far from Baguio. We need around 5 hours until we arrived there. We start our tour from the zoo then we went to vigan. The place was so nice and I was enjoyed my trip that day.


Problems Encountered
In the third week of this program, my internally problem was decrease. But I had another problem especially about class management. I felt that difficult to make participate actively in class. Almost the students in the class are very noisy. Since I have a soft voice so sometimes I must scream so that they can hear my voice and follow my instruction.

 Problems Hurdled
I learn a lot of things from my cooperating teacher, Ma’am Bayao. She is so helpful.  She told me any trick so that the students being more participate actively in class. I try to keep a good relationship with the students. Then, I share a lot of things to my buddy, Joanne Bolla. She is so helpful also. From her I know about an education system in Philippines and the habit of Filipinos during the lesson although just a little.

“Unbelievable Moment”


My Significant Experiences

Saturday, 03th February 2018 (Day 13)
That day, I made a lesson plan again for next week with my first buddy, Moira. She gave me suggestion to teach in class about chords and arcs. Then, I met Ma’am Ruby to discuss my lesson plan that I made before.
Sunday, 04th February 2018 (Day 14)
We went to Bahay Na Bato in La Union at 06:00 AM. It was a beautiful beach. I was so happy and we came back to the dorm at 07:00 PM.
Problems Encountered
In the second week of this program, I still feel about my internally problem that is adaptation. And then, I feel nervous when I teach in the class because it is my first time to teach in the other country. I don’t know so well about the habit of the students here. I think that is difficult to make participate actively in class especially when the students learn Math. Oftentimes the students can’t understand or forget the topic that they have learned before.

Problems Hurdled
I still give myself some positive suggestions to handle my internally problem. I learn especially from my cooperating teacher how to make participate actively in class.

We put some strawberry and I was so happy. Then, we went to bencab museum, the mansion, and botanical garden. We took a lot of pictures together. 



Problems Encountered
In the first week of this program, actually my internally problem is about the adaptation. I mean adaptation for the language, the weather, the culture, the custom, etc. Sometimes I feel homesick because there are a lot of differences between Indonesia and Philippines.
I learn a lot of things during this week. About the education system, the main problem is how to manage class because the number of student at one class is too big (45-55). The other problem is the different special topic in math between Indonesia and Philippines. In here, teachers and students will discuss each topic very detail. In here, the student learn by theorem but in Indonesia, the students learn math by formula and not as detail as here.

Problems Hurdled
For my internally problem, I just give myself some positive suggestions. I learn especially from my cooperating teacher how to manage class. I borrow the textbook that used by students here and learn that they learn at the class before.
