Zaim's Journal

 Our school is celebrating "Minggu Dakwah" (Dakwah Week) this week, which is a time for spiritual and religious activities. We began the week with a warm and welcome celebration of "Maulidur Rasul" (the Prophet Muhammad's birthday). It was a lovely reminder of the Prophet's teachings and values. The "Minggu Dakwah" activities were both educational and spiritually uplifting. We had a "ceramah" (lecture) about Prophet Muhammad's life and teachings. It's amazing to see how eager the students are to learn about and adopt the Prophet's values of love, peace, and compassion. In addition, I've been working hard to improve my teaching skills. I've successfully used the set induction and closure in my classes. This has improved the framework of my teaching and, in my opinion, has made for a more engaging learning experience for the students. While it took some time to establish authority in the classroom, I'm pleased to rep...

 Week 6 began similarly to any other week. I've established a routine, but each day brings new opportunities for growth and learning. Today, I began teaching the students about bodily components. This week, I found myself frequently seeking advice and guidance from my mentor. I'm determined to keep improving my teaching skills and connecting with children. My mentor's suggestions and critiques were invaluable, and I am grateful for her assistance. Teaching children about the human body can be challenging, but it can also be extremely enjoyable. Today's lesson was fascinating, and the students appeared to be genuinely interested in learning about their own bodies. This week appeared to be a week of growth and reflection. As I continue to solicit feedback and refine my teaching strategies, I notice small but significant improvements in my teaching abilities. It's a never-ending process, and I'm pleased with my progress. It's a mutual growth experience that kee...

 As the fifth week began, I noticed a pleasant pattern in my classroom. Students have consistently provided positive feedback and offered assistance, creating an inspiring environment for teaching. As a teacher, I'm starting to feel more at ease. The children's active participation and support are making a significant difference. Today's class was fantastic, and it's clear that we're bonding intellectually and emotionally.  The class exercise today went very well. The students' participation and teamwork benefited everyone. I'm starting to enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with them. The frequency of relief classes has been a consistent issue this week. Due to a shortage of teachers on medical leave, I've had to fill in for a number of classes. While it has been difficult, it has also given me the opportunity to gain more experience in a variety of subjects and with a wide range of age groups. Covering relief classes is becoming more common, but it...

 I was happy to learn at the beginning of the week that I had received my own schedule for my teaching duties. It was my responsibility to instruct classes 2AM and 1AM. . I took some time to get to know each student's name and background so that I could communicate with them individually.  After deciding on my students and setting up my timetable, I started working on lesson plans. Acknowledging that an organized approach was important for proficient instruction, I seek advice from my mentor. Their opinions and expertise were very helpful to me as I improved my strategy and tailored my classes to each student's unique needs. Apart from devising lesson plans, I focused on creating instructional resources that would enhance my students' engagement and participation in the learning process. To help students learn and retain the information better, I used interactive materials, visual aids, and props. My adventure was made even more exciting and challenging by the English and p...

 Week three is now underway. I just know that I will be teaching 2AM; I have not yet received a specific timetable or timeline for teaching in class. I was given a lot of substitute lessons to teach this week in place of absent teachers. According to what I've observed, the evening session school will experience a teacher shortage every day, requiring me to fill in for them for up to three hours each time.        I am aware of my mentor. I went over to her and asked her about the subjects she had taught and the class she was teaching. It might provide a more seamless lecture for my class. Since I was given a lot of relief classes, I took a lot of classes from year one to year three. Meeting with all teachers,for camping and other activities. There are many students at this school; on average, there are eight classes, each with more than thirty students. It might take me some time to remember them all since, to be honest, I can't remember all of their names....

  Week 2 is a school holiday, I also prepared my documents that need to be submitted, I also have to move from my house at Kuantan to Miri, Sarawak. Hectic week for me I guess.

Week 1 Welcome to my Practicum Teaching Blog. Assalamualaikum and a very good day to everyone who's reading. This is my Practicum Teaching Blog and this is the story throughout the teaching period of 14 weeks. I was assigned to do a practicum by my university which is UNIVERSITI POLY-TECH MALAYSIA (UPTM). Starting from 23 August to 29 November 2023. The school that I choose to go is not this school, but I think it's not a bad idea to go with the flow.  I have also a group of friends that went to the same school. They are Syahman,Nurin,Intan,Qistina and Nadira. So, there is 6 of us doing practicum at the school. We all never really know each other previously except for Syahman, which used to be my classmate from the previous semester.In the first week, we didn't really do much at the school as they were having the merdeka celebration on the second day.    This is the picture of 6 us with GPK, Encik Omar. He welcomed us nicely and give some advice. We all are happy and exci...
