Reflection Report Journal

Background:

The journal is prepared on the purpose of M.Ed. 2^nd year under the micro/peer teaching. Teaching profession is very responsible and respectful job. It is also hard job. So every teacher should prepare different task, lesson plan, teaching materials their reflective writing and useful tools for teaching to make effective class. Micro teaching is based on classroom teaching with sharing their experience each other in the classroom in the presence of the experience teacher and experts. They guide us about real teaching; various techniques for removing problems which happens in real classroom micro/peer teaching is a kinds of teaching training for would be teacher (student’s teacher). It is process to be trained the fresh teacher before going to real teaching in the campus/Higher Secondary School. It is generally shorter than real teaching therefore it is a concise or scaled down teaching. In the micro class, the students may be real or fellows trainee. This stage makes the students more confidence in teaching. The class time also scale down rather than real one. This process held at least 5-10 minutes. After completion of micro teaching program the student teacher should prepare this journal including their reflection of the lesson and narration of the activities that happened on each day.

Introduction

As we know, micro teaching is the integral part of the real teaching for this purpose, Sanothimi Campuses has conducted micro teaching program from 9^th to 16^th Mangsir, and 2068.It is the main part of the practicum of M.Ed. 2^nd year students (Eng.Ed.599) paper. It covers 50 marks of our M.Ed. second year course. In micro teaching program, the students are involved in peer teaching in our campuses for one or two week before students go for real teaching at campus/higher secondary school. Journal writing is compulsory part of syllabus of M.Ed. 2^nd year as practicum (Eng.Ed.599) under micro teaching program. So each student maintains their own daily presentation diary and prepares a report including the following points:

v Reflection of his/her own presenting lesson.

Micro teaching is the integral part of the Faculty of Education (FOE) that is necessary for practicum from intermediate to master’s degrees. As we know, Micro teaching has different stages. E.g.

We all were gathered in room no.8 in a day of micro teaching. It was my presentation day. My respected guru Narendra Raj Paneru called me on the basis of attendance as a third presenter in the presenting micro class. At first I had greeting to all students and guru with introducing myself. After this I ask my friend behave as M.Ed. 2^nd year students, and I presented my subject matter of “vowel sound” focused with real conditional only on the date of 11^th Mangsir, 2068. When I presented my lesson, I was much more confident in my subject matter as well as teaching technique. I had presented at least 10 minutes in my subject matter. During my presentation my performance was so good and all the students and teacher were satisfied with my presentation. Due to using inductive way of teaching made my presentation very interesting and communicative as well. I followed inductive method in my presentation on vowel sound and under it real pronunciation.

Conclusion:

After completion of micro teaching we can remove our weakness and mistakes as we get feedback by the phase of commenting in the micro teaching. It is the process to train the student’s teachers about their lesson plan, using technique, presenting style methods of using teaching materials for real class room teaching. The time is always shorter due to time limitations in micro teaching Trainee/student’s teacher cannot complete a lesson within 5-10 minutes. It has taken as the formality to be completed before going to practice teaching. Micro class is essential part of real teaching for fresh teacher to grab some of the ideas from the experience teacher for removing weakness committed by the fresh one to make the real class effective in the college/higher secondary school.

At last I want to express my grateful thanks and dedicated to my respected guru Dr. Bal Mukunda Bhandari, Head of Depart prof. Purna Bahadur Lamichhane and Prof. Narendra Raj Paneru and all of my peers who support me by commenting and suggesting in my presentation in micro teaching.
