Ninth class reflection

Hello.

In ensuring the successfulness of the teaching and learning process in the classroom, one must always fall back to the effective and efficient criteria that help to achieve the desired results. These criteria which take into consideration of all the important factors and aspects of the classroom are crucial for teachers and teacher to be like me particularly with the use of IWB or interactive whiteboard as it provide the right framework and understanding of the application in the classroom situation. The ninth class helped to address the importance of the criteria when evaluating the effectiveness of the activity developed through the SMART board application. The lecturer helped us to elicit some of the criteria which I believed have been exposed and explained many times before but still needed some assistance to recall back the knowledge. Thank you Professor Maznah.

The presentation of prototype SMART board activity helped to pinpoint the necessary adjustments and improvement before the final submission. In other word, the class was beneficial and constructive in the sense that it enabled us to rectify the problems and foresee any problem before handing in the product. Besides that, I believed that this prototype presentation which involved all the groups are better than solitary question and answer process of rectifying the product. Everyone can give their opinion, thus providing more options and chances for the concerned person whose presenting his or her product to fine tuning and develop a more effective and successful activity.

Another important aspect that I believed that we overlooked was the use of suitable feedback. In other word, once the student have chosen their answer, the feedback which stated whether the answer is right or wrong will appear. The lecturer helped to address this important aspect by commenting on the words used for feedback. The right way of providing the positive feedback for the pupils if they have chosen the wrong answer was to use ‘sorry, try again’ or more motivational oriented words. This is crucial because of the nature of the pupils which may feels downgraded or failure, which in turn affect their learning experience. As we know, successful learning experiences are very important in the pupils’ life. In addition, the pupils should not be made to look like a stupid person if he or she answers the wrong answers. Teachers and teacher to be like me have to understand and foresee the problems before it arise and even if it emerge without our control, spontaneous and relaxed approach must be taken.

All in all, I want to thank again to the lecturer and tutors for helping us in discovering the beauty of this God’s created knowledge. The assistance provided helped in translating the problems of discovering the SMART board application into solutions. Now, it depend on ourselves on how to effectively, creatively and efficiently create a good activity which can be utilized for the future teaching and learning process in order to produce a successful learning experiences for all the parties concerned. Not forgotten, thanks to Ai Choo for helping me discover how to create the manual version of feedback.

Thank you.
