Day 03: January 29, 2019

Today, Ms. Hani does not have a schedule for the lower secondary – Cambridge Mathematics. So, we went with Ms. Dian to her grade 8 class, the same grade 8 class which Ms. Hani also teaches. The only difference is that today, we will be observing National Matematika, where they use Bahasa Indonesia as the medium of instruction and context.

​

I have this quote for today: Sometimes, it’s not always about how hard the circumstance was, it was how you found the motivation to get back up once you’ve fallen.

​

It was a little difficult for me today to observe and understand. Not just because of the language difference, but because the delivery was fast – of course, I should be the one to adjust hehe.

It was a little hard for me to grasp the terms, good thing I had my dictionary with me.

At the end of that class, I was able to list down some terms as well.

​

It was exciting and fun to try to understand them through the development of the lesson. Another factor was that, the students were really interactive and cooperative with the activities.

I just got more excited to teach them already!
