2.1
Teaching Methods
Teaching method is used as a way from a teacher to the students in order to
reach the objectives of the lesson. Teaching methods determine whether the students have achieved
the criteria of success learning or not. Method of teaching in
MMSU LES is mostly student centered with
discussion, two-way
communication with the teacher, active learning where the students could ask
the teacher whenever they want and the teacher always use asking question to
make all the students active
2.2
Learning Materials and Innovation
Learning materials in MMSU
LES are just like Indonesia. Infocus, laptop, and other
printed or soft files of teaching media.
The thing that I was amazed with was the use of blackboard in MMSU LES. Of course
because the school is still using blackboard, a thing to write on the
blackboard is chalk.
Innovation in learning is highly
needed to encourage students to be motivated to learn in ways that are not
monotonous. Learning innovation in MMSU LES is varied in accordance to the subject
of the lesson. The teacher may include video, physical activities, group
activities, or some innovative things in learning.
2.3
Sources of Learning and Technology
As a teacher, it is not about knowing everything and
using everything to teach one topic. Even with a small thing, a teacher can
teach many topics. That is what MMSU LES applies. Teachers in MMSU LES are not
only using sources from textbook, but also using any sources that can be found
in classroom. Everything around
can be a source of learning.
MMSU LES also use technology to support learning sources such as using
internet to look for the topic of somthing that can not be found in textbook,
graphic examples, samples of pictures, related video, etc.
2.4
Authentic Assesment
Every activity that the students do in classroom are
assessed by the teacher. The students’ behavior during the class and whether
they are actively participated or not. Teacher
will give the authentic assessment to
every step of learning activity.
For example: in motivation activity,
the students’ background knowledge of the lesson is assessed; in presentation
activity, whether the students pay attention to the presentation and ask
questions about the lesson; in discussion activity, the students participation
is also assessed; in generalization activity, whether the students got what has
been learned from the topic of the lesson; in application, the participation of
each student in group activity and how they can present their discussion
result; and the last is in evaluation activity, whether they can answer the
questions individually and get good scores.

Others
I found a difference between the duration of learning in
Indonesia and in the Philippines. Indonesia uses 1 hour = 45 minutes which
minimal duration of some subjects are 2 hours or 2 x 45 minutes = 90 minutes. Philippines
uses 1 hour = 60 minute for every subject. It means that one subject only needs
1 hour for one meeting. I found it is a good system for the sake of the
students and the teachers themselves. The set of the time is effective for the students
and the students will not get bored easily. It is also good for the teacher to
set complex lesson plan for 60 minutes only.
MMSU LES always holds flag ceremony every Monday morning
just like Indonesia. But it was a new thing for me that MMSU LES also holds
flag retreat ecery Friday afternoon. And also, at the end of the flag ceremony
and flag retreat, they will have physical exercise shich is istructed by one
gread in which every grade has been scheduled what grade will be the instructor
of the exercise. The interesting thing is, the exercise is dancing. This exercise
relates to one subject, it is MAPEH.
