CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

It is a term used by teachers to describe the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly despite disruptive behavior by students.

 It is possibly the most difficult aspect of teaching for many teachers; indeed experiencing problems in this area causes some to leave teaching altogether.

Classroom management is very important, why? because when you're not good at it therefore, you couldn't manage a class. In managing a class thoough it's not easy but when a teacher do such  great job, students learn to respect and follow what the teachers rule in a classroom.

The Importance of Evaluation



The importance of evaluation cannot be over emphasized. It is an instrument for the school system,  by the teacher, the learner, the parent, the administrator, the policy maker and the teaching profession.


Evaluation is a tool which can be used to help teachers know whether an instructional approach is being implemented and the students in itself are listening to what the instructors topic all about. It helps also to assess the extent to which goals and objectives are being achieved.


There are lots of types in terms of evaluating the students. There are quizzes, oral, exams(oral exam, hands on exam for computer subjects, written exam), activities, portfolio, reports, role play essay, and etc. 








The evaluation also must be properly sequence and has this definite and clear instructions. It is also very important that the evaluation is based or related to the topic being discussed. The best example for this, is the real life situation base on their past experiences that could easily answered or easily think what's best to create by the students. They could also flashback some things that could help to perform a good presentation and has more knowledge on that certain evaluation thing. They might find it challenging if the evaluation is unique and eye catching, something interesting and make them seek answers.

The Assignment

The Assignment is the part of a lesson assigned as a particular task to the pupil/students what they are expected to accomplish in the lesson.

A good assignment should be clear, definite, and make it sure to relate to the new learning experiences in the old and new informations especially, to the contemporary issues.


And in making assignment, you should consider this :
  • Know your students
  • It is very important that as a teacher doing or preparing an assignment it should also keep in mind to identify what level of learners should take/answer on that certain assignment. 

  • Clarity of the assignment
    Describe the specifics of the assignment -- length, citation format, acceptable types of sources -- in writing. Let your students know the purpose of the assignment. If you provide a list of sources be sure to give complete titles. Make sure that students understand all the steps required to complete the assignment. It should keep in mind especially the teacher to use simple and familiar words that can easily understood by the students.
  • Try your assignment
    Put yourself in your student's shoes and do your assignment. Is the assignment possible? Is the time frame reasonable for the amount of work? Are the sources readily available?
  • Help your students
    If students will be required to do extensive library research, consider booking a library workshop. The workshop will introduce students to research strategies and tools needed for the assignment. Encourage your students to get library help in person at a reference desk.

LEARNING MODULE AS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

Learning module possesses the qualities that will make the individual an independent learner, self-pacing and progressing at his own rate, and allowing measures to meet  the needs of individual differences. 

This is my report, by the use of self pacing method w/c is module it self, students would be able to be more independent in terms in learning.

The day that I presented my report, I was so nervous and not feeling confident and not yet ready, why? Because I wasted my time before that time waiting to be interviewed by the guidance, but sad to say, I spent almost three hours and waiting patiently just to be interviewed, but nothing happens. The worse thing is, I forgot to review my notes. I wAS tense at that time, and when I hear the bell rang, I don't even know what to do, when in fact I never even read my hand outs  for my report.. I forgot what to say in front of them, Oh, crap...I said..

But later on  when I started to talk in front and tackle my report, though I never elaborate some of the hard words in my power point presentation and I haven't able to finish it before its time, but I think I did a great job!
Anyways, It's difficult to stand in front, especially when your instructor is listening and sitting right after you...know what I mean?..hehehe.

On my second day, the continuation of my report. I was satisfied and feeling relief of what I did after.. My report goes smoothly and I even deliver my report well, no hassle and they say, they all understand of my last report. So I guess I've done a very great job!

I do understand now why teachers easily got pissed off when their students never cared to listen, because I do experience that kind of thing..
And I have lots of learning during my report which will gave me some realization and techniques on how to handle a class.. hopefully...
