Sruggles in my field observation
I go home late during Tuesday and Thursday and woke-up early during Monday,Wednesday and Friday.This becomes my routine every school day starting when I am already conducting my observation in UC laboratory school. I wake up 4:00 in the morning to prepare all the things I need and prepare myself in going to the site of observation.Time management is a big deal because you have to be in UCLS before 7:30am that’s why most of the time I was rushing because of far location of our boarding house to the site of observation.After riding from the jeepney I had to walk for at least 10-15 minutes.Despite of this problem,when you arrived in the school you will meet those sweet smiles of pupils and teachers saying good morning and some pupils will hug you.
I experienced struggles during our first shift of observation where I was assigned in grade v-charity.First the critic teacher is hard to deal with.Most of the time he is moody that is why his advisory class is afraid to him because on the way he discipline them and by his face alone.One time also accidentally he check my observation sheet and he read something negative I observed to him,what he did is that he let me erase that. Of course I'm nervous that time because of his reaction, but I think what he did is not good.What do he want to place all positive about him?I'm not already an effective observer if that’s the case because as an observer,it should always be balanced you write whether negative or positive as long as it is true.We find hard also finding him if it is already our time-out to let him sign the DTR. Next is the grade v pupils,most of them are undisciplined,they don’t follow our instruction.They are playful and seems still in grade I. We hear also murmers from the like “student teacher ka lang”,may be this is one reason why they don’t obey us.
In our second shift,I was assigned to cute pupils of grade I- hope. Comparing to the grade V,I think grade I are more disciplined, they are respectful and obey directly our commands. Its just that we do many task but its enjoyable.The only problem is one pupil who has ADHD. He is very hard to deal with, most especially when his disorder attacks “sinusumpong”. He is moody,he insist on what he wants to do.Most of the time he hurt his classmates including her teacher.That is why I have to sit beside him and be keen in all his moves.Being observer of this pupil, you should be patient and temper your anger.Lastly in grade I we need to guide the pupils in everything they do.
Despite of this struggles I experienced, this shape me on how to become an effective and efficient teacher someday. I gained many insights like techniques and strategies which I can use in my future career.This served as my training ground for future teaching.
