Title of Journal

: Problems in my teaching.

1. Problem
I am struggling with the time management because there are few other things which I have to
attend to apart from the practicum. I know that this is not a reason for me to not be able to
perform for my practicum thus I am doing my best to overcome this issue. I am teaching the
mixed ability class 3 Zamrud and the pupils are quite hard to control. My classroom control is
not that good yet but I have been focusing on this issue since my first week in this school.
Failing to plan is planning to fail (Alan Lakein), this makes me realized that I got to have a better
planning for my practicum.

2. Analysis
This problem occurred because I did not have a good planning for my daily activities.
Sometimes, I tend to forget the things or task that I need to do and complete in the particular
week. For my classroom control problem, I think that my teaching style is not suitable to the way
of 3 Zamrud pupils behavior. I need another way of approach and teaching style that can suit
for the pupils.

3. Follow-up Action
a) I should try to do some research on the net or book on how to handle my time management
in the classroom effectively.
b) I will try to adhere with the time as planned.
c) Have a timetable and checklist for my reference.
d) Give clear and simple instructions to control the class.

e) Plan and do a more interesting lesson to capture pupils attention.

4. Time Period for Follow-up Action

I will try my best to overcome this problem by the end of this weekend. Time management is
very important so that the students will gain a good quality of teaching and learning in the
classroom. If this problem were not handled properly, it will lead to a bad result such as failure in
achieving the learning objective(s). In addition, classroom control is also vital for me to deliver a
smooth and good lesson because I will able optimize the time for learning and reduce the time
for classroom control.
