Professional Statement Before Practicum
Professional Statement Before Practicum
For this semester, I, along with other teacher trainees of the seventh
semester will be going to primary school to complete our third practicum. Our third
practicum will be held for twelve weeks, which are from 6th February 2017 till 5th May
2017. For this practicum, I am going to teach my major subject, which is English
Language as the Second Language and also my second elective, which is Music
Education.
Before our practicum began, we had attended a briefing session with the
practicum unit at the ISO room to know more about our responsibilities during the
practicum. We were given the exposure on the information required in our portfolio
and also report book, the report that we need to complete such as weekly reflective
journals and also reports on extra-curricular activities, our attendance record and
also some guidelines that we need to adhere during our practicum session. Besides,
we were introduced to the e-practicum system, which is MyPOROMS where we write
our daily lesson plans and also weekly reflective journals online.
These are some of the goals that I wish to achieve through this experience:
i. Find out more about the structure and organization of a school
ii. Find out more about the school life as a teacher
iii. Find out more about the organisation of a classroom in developing effective
learning among students.
iv. Understand more about the current trend of our national educational system.
v. Find out more about how English subject is taught in primary schools.
vi. Find out more about the organisation of an English lesson in primary
schools.
vii. Find out more about how music subject is taught in primary schools.
viii. Find out more about interesting activities that can be conducted during the
music class.
ix. Find out the effectiveness of methods and approaches learnt
x. Be as fully involved as possible with the school community, including the
pupils, teachers and support staff.
