The last topic: Classroom Management

This topic, classroom management is the last topic that we learn for this pedagogy subject.
Classroom management applies to all, namely:
a) effective classroom start on time
b) students know the classroom procedure
c) teachers understand how to teach for mastery
d) teachers have high expectations for students success

Duke (1987) defines today's classroom as a comprehensive management plan that should include both proactive (preventive) and reactive (disciplinary).

Classroom rules developing should have materials such as chalk board, chart paper and marker and also methods in class.

There are certain guidelines available to manage classroom which are by establishing physical environment and psychological environment.

A good classroom management should consists of:
a) a set of class rules posted in the classroom, important to maintain discipline
b) arranges classroom carefully to minimize disturbance and provide students with sense of confidence
c) teachers know the name of students in class.

Teachers should organize an academic content and instruction by having a clear lesson plan so that it is easier for students to understand and the flow of teaching will be smooth. Teachers too should create study environment before started teaching and all aspect of lesson will proceed smoothly. Other than that, there should be interaction between teacher and students in classroom and this teaching and learning interaction is called pedagogical cycle.

These are all in the last chapter of pedagogy, which is "Classroom Management".

    I do agree that teachers should create a learning environment before they start to teach, and this is why the induction part do existed in the flow of lesson plan. :)

    Yes,induction part too can be the recall back moment on the previous lesson, so that students will still remember and can relate the two topics if related.

    I do think that the rules and regulations could develop disciplinary of the students.

Pedagogy class for this week (3rd week)

Pedagogy class starts in the morning at 8 o'clock. So it was quite a challenge for me to wake up early for class, also to prevent from stuck at the traffic jam. Our class tutor for this subject is Mr Wan Kamaran. Class lesson for this week was the explanation of the assignments and the School of Thought-Theories. We have not started with the chapters yet as notes have not been uploaded into Uniec Virtual. There are only few of us, not exceeding 10 so there are no problem to stay focus. The only problem was sleepiness. And a hungry stomach. Thank God Mr Wan understand these and we had a 15 minutes break to take a nap and have breakfast. So I decided breakfast it is. We finish the class around 10.30am and pedagogy is my only class for the whole Tuesday.

Preparation for mock teaching

Class activity for this week was we were doing preparation for our mock teaching in the coming week. We need to do three forums, three lesson plan and mock teaching as assignment 2. The mock teaching is based on one of the lesson plan that we have prepared. We need to do lesson plan by applying one of the theories-school of thought. Therefore, a simple essay need to be done to explain why the theory has been chosen to be the basic of the lesson plan, which is also for the mock teaching. I have decided to choose behavioural theory to apply in my lesson plan and mock teaching for the coming week.

Presentation of lesson plan aka mock teaching

This week is the presentation of our lesson plan. I was the second to present according to the alphabetical order name. My subject was English for Form 4 students and I taught about the meaning of poems and how to recite it. The title of the poem is Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare. First I introduced world known poets, those from 18th and 19th century. Then I showed a video of how to recite Sonnet 18 poem. It was fun as my classmates were sporting and join along in the activity session, which was a small competition of reciting the poem. All of us, including me learn the meaning of the Sonnet 18 phrases by phrases. This poem indeed is a beautiful and meaningful poem.
