In the process of learning, a good teacher must be able to master the content (learning materials/subject matter) and understand the science of teaching (pedagogy). Content encompasses the scientific knowledge that teachers should master, including facts, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. Each pedagogic approach is succinctly described to facilitate a quick understanding of how the technique might be relevant to your teaching.

​

2.1 Teaching Methods

Based on observations during the first week of the program, the teaching methods used by the teacher during the lessons are the Cooperative Method and Discussion Method.

a. Cooperative Method

Cooperative learning is a teaching method where students of mixed ability levels are grouped together and rewarded based on the group's success rather than individual achievement.

b. Discussion Method

The discussion method involves utilizing group discussion techniques to achieve learning objectives. It stimulates thinking, and interest and encourages student participation. Students are more active and cooperative during group activities. Additionally, the discussion method increases student interest, acceptance, commitment, and knowledge, and results in more enduring learning. However, it can be time-consuming and face challenges such as student unwillingness during group activities and failure in meeting lesson objectives.

​

2.2 Learning Materials and Innovation

Based on observations during the first week of the program, the teacher used various learning materials including textbooks, DLP, PowerPoint presentations, short videos, and white/blackboards. In the initial lesson, a motivational activity involving a video related to the topic was used. Motivational activities have proven effective in enhancing student curiosity and engagement during lessons.

​

2.3 Sources of Learning and Technology

a. Reference books:

Stahl, S.A. (1999). Vocabulary Development. Massachusetts: Brookline Books.

2.4 Authentic Assessment

Based on observations during the first week of the program, the teacher used assessments including student participation during explanations and discussions, group activities, and a final long quiz. Additional points were given to active and cooperative students in class or during group activities.

​

2.5 Others

Based on observations during the first week of the program, the teacher occasionally assigned advanced reading tasks for students to prepare for upcoming topics.
