REFLECTION

INTRODUCTION

For this semester, we are required to conduct a simple microteaching lesson for the

course teaching of writing in the primary classroom. The whole process of developing and

carrying out the microteaching activity for the course has indeed been a great experience and a

good exposure. I have learned so many things that help me a lot in planning on how to teach

writing. Plus, I have learnt to believe that the importance and necessity in planning a lesson

beforehand. The demonstration of the activity have helped me a lot in reinforcing my

understanding of a particular method to teach writing to student as we were required to develop

and conduct a simulated teaching on it. My group consists of 3 person and I have been

assigned to conduct the set induction stage and the while writing stage. We have conducted a

lesson on writing on the 1st October 2014. Our lesson on that day was on the topic Fresh Fruits

according to the Year 3 Kssr Syllabus.

STRENGTH

Based on the feedback from the evaluator that observed our teaching, our group was

able to perform the teaching of the lesson very well. We have also presented a lesson on

writing which has a smooth transition from the beginning till the end. Overall, most of the areas

on the lesson were performed clearly. I was able to give out clear instructions and orders for the

students to follow. Giving out simple instructions is very important as children could not accept

too many of them at one time. With simple and clear instruction, they were able follow and

deliver them well and this will lead them to have a better understanding of the lesson.

Furthermore, the set induction of our lesson is considered to be relevant. During the set

induction stage, I have used real fruits to raise the student interest to get into the mood of

learning the lesson. The plan turn out to be working, their reactions towards the lesson appear

to be more engaged. They like the idea of having the real thing in front of their own eyes. In that

way, they were able to get the gist of the lesson during that stage. Again based on the

feedback, we have also conducted a relevant activity for the student to learn how to write.

During the while writing stage, I provided the student with envelopes containing the writing

activity which the student must do in groups. They were able to follow the writing activity as they

manage to recall the input given on the pre-writing stage. It proves that the input given from at

the earlier stage is used successfully by the student on the while writing stage. Apart from that, I

Page 4: Reflection Microteaching Writing

have also received some good comments on how I have been able to handle the classroom

well. I was into the character just like a real teacher. The students were also attracted to the

way of how I conduct the lesson. The evaluators gave me some credits for taking the

microteaching seriously and presented the lesson just like how a teacher would do in a normal

classroom.

WEAKNESSES

Despite of all the positive feedback, there are some weaknesses that have been

identified from the lesson. The lecturers pointed out a minor thing that our group had left out

Firstly; the lesson was weak in term of its focus. After reviewing the lesson plan, I have

identified that the way that we have presented our lesson was focusing too much on grammar

items rather than teaching of writing. We should have been more precise in delivering the

lesson so that the student would not get confused of the lesson focus. This is very important as

students cannot handle too much input in a single lesson. Furthermore, we need to improve on

our time management. Based on the feedback given, each of our parts turned out to be longer

than the time provided and we have exceeded the time limit for conducting the lesson. It was

very sad that the lesson was cut short and not all students get the chance to participate in the

writing part of the lesson. Apart from that, we were not giving much attention to our blackboard

management. We have been spotted with having some problems in managing the items on the

board. For instance, we were pasting every single thing on the board at one time. The materials

that were used in each stage were supposed to be placed in order so that the student and also

the teacher would not get mix up. Furthermore there were parts of my teaching that I could

have done better. For example, my pronunciation and articulation was not loud and clear

enough for the whole class to listen. This shows my weakness that I have difficulty in

communicating clearly with the students. Therefore, I should talk more to gain confidence so

that everything came out just like the way it should be.

OPPORTUNITIES

Though I am satisfied with the lesson that our group has presented, I would love to make

some changes here and there to improve more on the lesson. I have learned so many important

lessons from this microteaching. Firstly, I should have been more talkative throughout the

lesson. By doing so, I can maintain my communication with the student in the classroom.

Hence, they will be more focused to obey my instruction. Furthermore, I would love to improve

on the task assigned to the student. It would be better if our group did not repeat the same

Page 5: Reflection Microteaching Writing

writing activity in the post writing stage. Perhaps, our groups should have given individual task

to the student so that it would be easier us to identify which students need enrichment and

remedial post activities. The evaluators also suggested that it would be better if we could

conduct a simple activity at the end of the lesson. Instead of giving a boring summary or

recalling of the lesson at the closure stage, we could deliver an activity that will help the

students to remember the lesson better. For instance, students can write a short riddle or do a

fill in the blank activity based on that they have learnt earlier.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I have gained much new knowledge from the activity conducted. It has

been very meaningful and educational for me as a future teacher because this method could

become handy when applied for lessons in schools later. The experience of conducting the

activity has caused me to realize the reality of a being a teacher whereby a teacher has to look

into all consideration and put in great effort before teaching a lesson. I recognized that good

teamwork is necessary in order to succeed in the carrying out the plan discussed which is very

much reflected to the teaching world.
