Reflection on Inclusive Education

 

On Wednesday, the first day of attending the primary school at Tebwanimwaneka throughout the two-week block teaching, 12^th of April 2023, I went to the upper-level classroom (year 6) as it was a place where my lecture at KTC previously pointed me to stay at. I went in there in order to discover further approaches on how a teacher instruct and facilitate students, so they can accomplish the learning process. What procedures utilized to gain student interest so it can attract their attention and can engage them during class session.

First of all, before they begin their lesson, they opened up with a short prayer accompanied with chanting Lord songs. They acclaimed the Lord for his guidance and blessing throughout the previous days. When it was over, their lesson begins. They were first ongoing with a warmup which is the morning talk. Two boys and a girl who participated in this activity. Later on, distributed students in groups to discuss and share their critical thinking on the topic posted by a teacher. A lecture always included group activities as he permitted students to control their own learning pace, where he only acts as a facilitator to manage them and make sure they are on the right track. 

Throughout the session, the teacher gives the best to engage students in the activity. Absolutely they were well engaged as they participated in every activity. After they finished their group activities, they present their work in-front of their colleagues without fear and shame. Always alert and respond to the questions posted by a teacher. They were obedient and had good manners who wanted to be guided by elders. This was all happened because their communication with their teacher is extremely excellent. 

Furthermore, there was a new strategy that I acquired after my observation which empower the student to do well the activity. This technique was recording scores when a student can answer and participate in the activity. When a students take part in the activity they will gain score, but it will be recorded under their teams. They did not want to loss scores so they give the best they can, to do their work properly. This strategy contributed the improvement and development of a child learning because they did not want to had failure and loss points, so they performed well and prepared themselves in participating in every task.

Therefore, from what I just saw during a teacher delivering lessons to students, it influenced me and enlarge my capacity in teaching so that I can do my best when I am becoming a permanent teacher in the future. Showed picture of how to become a good teacher as he co-operated well with his students, well prepared before attending a classroom and delivering his lesson to understudies. Always give positive reinforcement when students answer questions. He goes through the activity on the blackboard when the time was not enough. However, this is a new strategy I just adapt from this teacher during my observation.
