Day 25 : School Internship Phase 2

On January 9, 2025, I had the opportunity to take three classes as part of my teaching responsibilities. For 8A, I conducted a diagnostic test designed to identify the students' understanding of the key concepts taught in the previous lessons. The test aimed to pinpoint specific areas where the students struggled, allowing me to plan remedial measures effectively. This activity provided valuable insights into the individual learning needs of the students and highlighted the importance of differentiated instruction in achieving better learning outcomes.

For 8C, I carried out a pre-test as part of their project on assessing their skill in solving equations. The purpose of this pre-test was to gauge their initial proficiency and readiness to engage in the project work. The test also served as a baseline to measure the progress they would make throughout the project. This approach emphasized the importance of structured assessment in fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students.

In 9A, I introduced the topic of the total surface area of a prism. The class focused on exploring the practical applications of this mathematical concept and encouraged students to relate it to real-world scenarios. While teaching, I aimed to simplify the content for better comprehension and ensure active participation from the students.

Sajeena teacher observed my class and provided constructive feedback. She emphasized the need to improve the constructivist classroom atmosphere, which focuses on fostering a student-centered learning environment. Reflecting on her feedback, I realized the importance of creating opportunities for students to construct their own knowledge through collaborative learning, discussions, and hands-on activities. Moving forward, I aim to integrate these practices to make my classroom more engaging, interactive, and conducive to meaningful learning experiences.
