Highlights of the February 20, 2013 Class Demonstration

This morning our class demonstration focuses on the following methods of teaching first is the visual materials. Second, is on the good classroom management. Thirdly, is on how to have a good teaching strategy. Fourthly is on encouraging student participation in the discussion. Fifth, is about the interactive lecture. And the last topic that we have discussed is on requiring the student on how to question. This topic on teaching strategy help me realize how important class participation inside the four corners of the classroom setting. As a teacher in the future I am then reminded to let the student participate in the class.
In this reaction paper of mine I want to focuses more on the role of the teacher. Thru this, I came to realize that teacher must know how to make planning. Our professor in the person of Ms. A always emphasize that the success of the teacher can be determined if the teacher knows how to plan creatively.
I remember the time when I am still high school student one of our teacher in Christian living who is a nun always obliged us to memorize the prayers especially the Holy Rosary; the hail Mary, Our Father, Glory be and so on. But then we just memorize without any impact of our life. Thus, there are teachers who don’t know how to deepen the subject matter. Some of the teacher just injects knowledge of the mind but then others forget the importance of letting the student feel the importance of this knowledge not just by head but also teaching the student some basic things that allows them to become a better person.
In today’s generation I always encounter young men and women with brilliant minds. Young people of today were indeed advance they are very confident on what they do and what they this. Moreover the duty of every teacher is to develop these greatness of heart of every young men and women in expressing their own thoughts and insights in every topic that the teacher discussed.
In our society today we always believe that in everyday that we have had we always encounter wounded young men and women in our class. Thus as a teacher we don’t only teach theories but rather a good teacher must know how to integrate moral, values and virtues in the class.
That as a teacher we must know how to formed these young people not just to make them intelligent but rather as a teacher his or her basic role is to develop and formed these young people to become integrated person. A person who knows how to appreciate life. The teacher must play as a mentor who knows how to guide his or her student. In encouraging the student to participate one thing that needs to develop her is the relationship between the teacher and his or her student. If this thing develops then the student will develop the confidence to develop and express what he or she learned in the class. Moreover a good teacher knows how to have a good rapport between him and the student
