Fourth e-reflection

            Lately I have been thinking, how important model of instructions in teaching and learning activities. By applying the right model for teaching a subject, the material will be delivered clearly, and make student understand it easily. Teacher could use Lecture Discussion Model for teaching basic concept, like grammar, mathematic formulas, music interval, etc. While group interaction model will help student understand the use of the concept in real life situation. Like how to make dialogue using simple past tense, how to count population census in statistic data, etc.

           We could also combine two or three models of instructions. Applying lecture discussion method for introduce the lesson, and using group interaction model for the activities will not be a problem. What matter is, students could take in the material well, and reach the learning objectives. Make use of different models, would make some topics become more interesting.

            A question raised in class before, about what would you do if there is a student refused to do the problem written in the white board or come in front of the class to share her idea. If I was the teacher, I would encourage her to do it, and told her it will be fine whether she make mistake or not. Because doing mistake in learning is acceptable. Later on, I will keep doing the same thing to her. I believe she will get use and do it well. A well-trained habit would produce mastery and skills (Wongso, 2005).
