Gillian Patrick RCB19701021 Bachelor of Education (HONS), Majoring in English July 2019 UNIRAZAK, Kota Kinabalu (SIDMA College) 18th & 21st March 2022 - 24th September 2022 (6 Months)
Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude to the Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing, who gave me the golden opportunity to be in SM St. Michael, Penampang. Without the approval, I would not be here to experience everything, carry out and complete my practicum. Secondly, I would also like to express my special thanks to the PK Pentadbiran, Madam Judith Fidelis Donsia; PK Petang, Madam Johanna Sibyl Disimond, and Pem. PK Petang, Madam Audrey Cherry Insing for their concern and care during I am at SMSM. Thirdly, I also express my deepest thanks to my mentor, Mr. Eric Gapang, and Ms. Aerene Gabriel, for their full guidance, advice, ideas, opinions, and tips on teaching. Their guidance makes my teaching more effective and potent. Last but not least, I would like to give my warmest thanks to all the teachers of SMSM and to all the individuals that I have met at SMSM. All of you have been one of the people that make my day by talking and sharing. I am humbled and grateful to be able to express my gratitude to all of you. Those who have supported and helped me, at any level, can’t be satisfactorily completed without the guidance and support from each one of you. Thank you so much. Above all, I thank the Almighty God for the immeasurable blessings He has showered upon me, for the provisions and wisdom He has bestowed upon me. By His grace, I was able to finish my practicum in SMSM
Table of Content 1 2 3 27 Weeks My Reflection Appendix Observing their leadership Impression, Feelings, Pictures Challenges, and Solutions
27 Weeks My observations of all the teachers during my practical. They have inspired me, motivated me, and strengthened me, and their advice has made me a better teacher (person). Thank you. * Week 7, 12, and 25 are school holidays, so there are no observations I do. 1
Week 1 On my first day in SMSM, Madam Sibyl is the first person that I mostly talk with because of the task given by her, which is to help afternoon session teachers with giving textbooks to the students. Because before heading to the hall, Ozy,Jayphanie, and I helped Mdm Sibyl cut the numbers for the tables and have a talked with her. Then, before we went down to the hall, Mdm Sibyl said to us, "Jangan risau, semua di sini ok juga. Kalau ada apa-apa, tanya seja.". Those words meant a lot to me that day. It is already giving me permission to ask if I really need to ask something. After that, Mdm Sibyl said to me to help Teacher Aerene with her class, Form 1 Amanah. I ask a lot to Teacher Aerene what I need to do, and she is really okay with it. I do realise that during my first week in SMSM, I asked a lot of questions because I really didn’t know everything about the school and how it was going to be done. Thanks to all the teachers, they did okay with everything. I really don’t have any worries while I am in SMSM. All the teachers are very helpful.
Week 2 Kindhearted and caring teacher. ~ PK Petang, Madam Johanna Sibyl Disimond Mdm Sibyl was so kind-hearted and a caring person. On our first day, Mdm called and asked where we were staying at that time, and then she picked us up at SIDMA College and took us to see all the rented houses. We were able to just walk to the school, thanks to Mdm's help in finding a nearby rented house. Not just that, throughout my practical in SMSM, because I was also in afternoon sessions, Mdm always gave reminders to all of the teachers in the group. She tried to make and adjust everything to the suitability of all the teachers. Mdm also showed concern mostly for all students. I can see that it is not just for the sake of her job, but it is truly her nature to be caring towards others.
Week 3 “We are teachers, we are the role models.” ~ Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing I never took seriously the words "role models" until I met Mdm Jennifer. During my practical, Mdm Jennifer really set a good example, not just for the students but also for her colleagues, who are the teachers. During my second time joining morning prayer, Mdm Jennifer said, "We are teachers, we are the role models." After nearly 6 months in SMSM, I finally understand. I can see how Mdm did her work as a principal. Mdm Jennifer really is a role model for the schools. The love and passion she has, the responsibility she holds, and how she really took it seriously. I really am inspired by her, not just by her words but also by her actions. When my practical almost ends, I ask myself, can I be a good role model to other people too...?
Week 4 “Ketetapan masa itu penting.” ~ PK Pentadbiran, Madam Judith Fidelis Donsia In my third week in SMSM, I've already made a huge mistake. It happened during ko-kurikulum. We were told to handle package 29. I did not know that we were supposed to let the students out or go back home at 3.30 pm, but I let the students go at 3:00 pm, 30 minutes early. Mdm Judith was really mad at that time, but because of that incident, I really managed my time very well until the end of my practical. Not just that, I also liked how Mdm Judith called us to her office and asked us what exactly happened and explained that it is important to keep our students in the school and let them out at the right time because it is for their safety and also for the sake of the schools. I learned a lot from that. Then, Mdm also said, "Ketetapan masa itu penting. Bukan sahaja balik dan datang sekolah, masuk dan keluar kelas, but also in every aspect that is involved with time.". I remembered it until now, and it really fixed my time management while I was in SMSM. For that, I will incorporate in to my everyday routine.
Week 5 “T.E.A.M - Together Everyone Achieves More.” ~ PK HEM, Madam Flavia Ignatius I captured Mdm's words and wrote them down in my Jurnal Pengurusan book during morning prayer. Mdm does a presentation at that time, and she says one sentence that really makes me think about and reflect on it during my practical. Mdm Flavia showed a slide that showed the alphabet that spells T.E.A.M. and she said that "Together Everyone Achieves More." I did some reflections on the words she gave. Throughout my time in SMSM, I do see that all teachers really have their own bonds that make their teamwork firm. Their togetherness makes them achieve so many accomplishments. Besides that, whenever I work with other teachers or when I am involved in some work, I can see the cooperation given by each one of the teachers. Because of that, I really do agree with these words given by Mdm Flavia
Week 6 “Just enjoy your practicum laa yaa.” ~ Mathematics Teacher, Mr Manimaran A/L Peromal Not all the time, everything seems completely fine and great. There will also be times when I feel stressed and pressured about my work and the tasks that I need to finish. Not just that, but also about what is happening in my surroundings that somehow bounces back at me when I don't even know what is going on. However, whenever I felt this way during my practicum, I remembered what Teacher Mani said: "Just enjoy your practicum laa yaa." Because of these words, it gave me a positive mindset and attitude to do everything. Being stressed is easy when I am focused on that, and then I change it to just enjoy what I do. Thanks to Teacher Mani’s reminder, I am enjoying what I do and appreciating every little thing duringmy practical, not complaining and just doing it.
Week 8 “Jangan diam-diam, datang seja jumpa saya...” ~ English Teacher (Mentor), Ms Aerene Gabriel Getting to know my mentor, Teacher Aerene, is a really good and highspirited person. That day, after we were nearly done with our discussion, she said to me, "Jangan diam-diam, datang seja jumpa saya kalau ada apa mau tanya.". She really shows how much she cares and wants to help me, I can see that throughout her guidance to me. I never felt neglected or ignored. Even though Teacher Aerene was always pact and busy with her job, she always, always tried her best to do discussions with me, observe me, and talk with me even when Teacher Aerene was sick or not feeling well, until I felt guilty sometimes for bothering her. But Teacher Aerene always responds to me positively. I really thanked her for everything. Her guidance really helps me a lot in my teaching and learning.
Week 9 “Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan...” ~ Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing These words are usually said by Mdm, which is, "Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan kerana diberi nafas pada hari ini." usually in the assembly for morning sessions and during morning prayer. I really do appreciate these words. The form of being grateful really can change how we live our lives. But sometimes I tend to forget it, and I find it funny sometimes when I can guess what the principal is going to say first, which is these words. I also still remember that day when I came to school when I was not feeling well, but when Mdm said these words, I still thanked God for giving me the strength to be able to walk to school that day when I was sick. These words stuck in my head just like what Mdm said was like a reinforcement, so after I left SMSM, I still kept reminding myself to be grateful and give thanks to the Lord.
Week 10 “Banyak kau belajar di sini.” ~ PJK Teacher, Ms Christine Chong Kah Kei My desk is in the teacher’s room near Teacher Christine's desk. I always ask and talk with her regarding Ko-kum activities, our class that we teach, which is the 4 Harmoni class, and so on. I remember when Teacher Christine said, "Banyak kau belajar di sini." It is true. I learned a lot in SMSM. We also have conversations, not just with Teacher Christine but also with other teachers. It is great when you come to SMSM because you are already trained about the working phase, so when you go to the other school, you can already adapt to it. This kind of reminder by Teacher Christine makes me really proud to have done my practicum in SMSM.
Week 11 “Responsibility.” ~ PK Pentadbiran, Madam Judith Fidelis Donsia Responsibility is an easy word to say, but it is not easy to do. I still remember that day when Mdm Judith met us to ask about our updates, and then she talked about responsibility. Mdm Judith said, "All of us have our own responsibility. I need to do what responsibility is being given to me, and you need to do your part too, your responsibility.". That time also makes me understand that I need to take this practicum seriously because Mdm also reminds us who are teaching the Form 4 students to really do our part, the responsibility to help the students in their learning progress. I don’t know if I am doing well or not, but I do know that I have tried my best to teach the students that have trusted me. This whole process really makes me more mature through the responsibility that has been given to me. I am thankful for that because I've learned a lot through it.
Week 13 “Start somewhere. That is your first step.” ~ English Teacher (Mentor), Mr Eric Gapang I also remembered what Teacher Eric said to me. He said, "Well, it's okay. You need to start somewhere. That is your first step. You will have to go through some process, that's how you learn and make improvements." It really encourages me. That was my first observation with Teacher Eric. I feel like there are so many things I need to improve in terms of my teaching and so many mistakes I make that do not reach the expected level, which causes me to focus too much on the negative sides, but when Teacher Eric gave his feedback, it shifted my mindset to be more positive, and I tried my best to make improvements based on what Teacher Eric already commented and responded towards my teaching and lesson with the students. Thanks to Teacher Eric, my other three observations with Teacher Eric slowly have improved and through his guidance, my teaching and learning are more effective for the students.
Week 14 “Kita bekerja sebagai 1 Keluarga, 1 Pasukan” ~ Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing I was really inspired by how Mdm Jennifer uses her words to motivate all of us, the teachers, I mean. Mdm said these words, "Kita bekerja sebagai 1Keluarga, 1 Pasukan" during morning prayer, and then Mdm concluded everything by saying these words to all of us that were there in the meeting. Not just that, I also realise the telegram group name is SMSM Family. I really think that using the word "family (keluarga)” is a good way to strengthen the bonds with each other and create a good atmosphere for the work environment in school.
Week 15 Go there and here. ~ PK Pentadbiran, Madam Judith Fidelis Donsia Most of the time, I will be in the Teacher’s Room if I don’t have any class or I am not required in any places to do some tasks given to me. I always realize Mdm Judith will be in the Teacher’s Room to go there and here to meet some of the teachers. Mdm met them to ask about their updates on the tasks given and give reminders to them. It is not just the teachers in SMSM, but also us the trainee teachers. Mdm really working in her role as PK Pentadbiran, she doesn’t just let it slide like that, she is the one who asks and finds us. By the way, the pictures were taken by me secretly from my desk when Mdm Judith discussed something with Teacher Christine. The pictures that I have attached are exactly how she is doing with every teacher in Teacher’s Room, she met and discuss with them one by one. What an amazing PK Pentadbiran she is.
Week 16 “Pembahagian tugas.” ~ Bahasa Melayu Teacher, Mrs Nelly Gilob\ Teacher Nelly taught me how to learn divided tasks with others. She said to me, "Mau ada pembahagian tugas ni, jangan kau buat sendiri." while doing the tasks given. I learned that with cooperation from others, the work can be done more quickly than doing it alone, which is really true. I also learned that working with others can build up your communication and relationship with them by asking and sharing ideas and opinions. Thanks to the advice from Teacher Nelly, I am slowly becoming open and bold to take and do my part, then trust and let the others do their part too.
Week 17 “Terima kasih” ~ Ketua Bidang: Mrs Vernawati Lantukan Mrs Fong Ling Ling Mrs Nestre Polinon Mrs Mariatul Hanis Merani Abdullah I also met the Ketua Bidang teachers. All of them are super nice, and throughout the time I am in SMSM, I don’t have any problems communicating with them. There are some words that they always say to me, which is, "Terima kasih, Gillian." Whenever they gave me a relief class, needed help, or anything related to tasks or work, I do understand that those will be part of my tasks in school, but they always said "thank you" to me, and for that, I really do appreciate those words.
Week 18 “Berdasarkan pengajaran kau hari ini, apa pendapat kau.” ~ English Teacher (Mentor), Ms Aerene Gabriel I learned a lot about Teacher Aerene’s way. It is pleasant to be her mentee, work with her, and see how she deals with me and everyone else. She is directly honest but in a kind way. remembered, whenever Teacher Aerene finished observing me, she would say and ask me, "Berdasarkan pengajaran kau hari ini, apa pendapat kau?". She gave me space to know my opinions first, and then, after that, she gave her feedback on my opinions based on what she had already observed. She gave an example and inspired me to learn how to treat other people in a way that makes them feel appreciated and doesn't make them feel down.-
Week 19 “Jaga keselamatan diri kamu.” ~ Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing After the incident, Mdm Jennifer never once missed reminding the students every Friday during assembly before the weekend or before school holidays to always stay safe, and her words kept hovering in my mind, making me always remember her words saying that "Jaga keselamatan diri kamu, di mana pun kamu berada. Kalau keluar beraktiviti, pastikan maklumkan sama ibu bapa kamu.". Whenever Mdm says those words, I can feel the sense of concern and sometimes the worry she has for the student's safety. I never imagined the feelings and concerns she had towards the student’s safety. Mdm really took it seriously. Mdm still gave the same reminder until my last week and Friday in SMSM during the morning assembly. A reminder could really save someone's life. Thank you, Mdm Jennifer, for your reminder.
Week 20 Compassionate and thoughtful teacher. ~ Pendidikan Moral Teacher, Mrs Audrey Cherry Insing Teacher Audrey is really a compassionate and thoughtful teacher. She always gave us food if we met each other in the teacher’s room. She really likes to share. Teacher Audrey's smile is also so sweet. On my last day at SMSM, she also gave me a pin and a bible verse keychain. Whenever Teacher Audrey wanted to give me a relief class for afternoon sessions, she always asked me about my schedule and my class, and if I was free at that time, she gave me relief. Teacher Audrey is so thoughtful. Thank you for caring about us, the trainee teachers.
Week 21 In firmness there is love. ~ Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing Throughout my practical in SMSM, I can see the firmness of Mdm Jennifer in everything she does, especially while doing the task, when something is not being done right, when things are not being prepared well, and when something is completely not like what has been planned, and there are so many things. When such things happen, then it comes with the words, "We need to do it right the first time bah orang bilang." That shows that Mdm is at the peak of wanting to get mad already. But despite all of it, I still sense the patience and love there. After she was done addressing everything she wanted to say, she slowed down her voice and gave advice that these kinds of things would not be repeated again and that we needed to take it as a lesson. Not just that, but with the students too. She seems so strict with the students, but it is to discipline them. At the same time, I can see that it is for the sake of the students and as a form of the principal's care towards them.
Week 22 Guru Bertugas Kumpulan D During my practical too, I have also met and been guided by some teachers. I am thankful to be put under Guru Bertugas Kumpulan D. All of them are kind and thoughtful. Seeing their updates in our Telegram group, they are also cheerful and jolly while carrying out their duties. They helped me to understand the task that I needed to do, and thanks to all of these teachers, with the clear instructions given, I was able to do my part well. Starting from the left ~ Teacher Faridah, Teacher Wong, Teacher Rohayah, Teacher Vivian, Teacher Gary, Teacher Manimaran,Teacher Seri, Dr. Norin, and Teacher Teresa.
Week 23 “Terima kasih, mohon kerjasama & kepedulian yaa rakan guru.” ~ Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing I realised this one sentence that Mdm always said: "Terima kasih, mohon kerjasama & kepedulian yaa rakan guru." Not just in the meeting, in the Telegram group, but also sometimes when Mdm talks with the teachers. It sounds reprimanding, but at the same time, thank them for having the willingness to do it. Using the right words when speaking to others makes them feel appreciated and, at the same time, makes them aware of their responsibility. I think this kind of approach with everyone is important so that others have the pleasure of working with us too. I see the leadership from Mdm Jennifer is really animated. Now I understand the words that say "Talented employees stay because they are appreciated, being listened to, and being mentored".
Week 24 “Gillian, you need to be confident.” ~ PK Pentadbiran, Madam Judith Fidelis Donsia I believe I am being shaped not only to be a teacher, but also for myself and my character. Teacher Judith called me again that day, in front of the hall (because I met her first and asked where the principal was) and said to me. "Gillian, you need to be confident. If you want to ask questions or say something, just firmly say it without hesitation." while raising her hands as if giving supporting gestures. This will be a lifetime lesson for me. I never knew that I was being like that, and I also know that my self-confidence needs to be improved. Thank you, Mdm Judith. One piece of advice is all it takes to change a person.
Week 26 “Stop saying sorry.” ~ English Teacher (Mentor), Mr Eric Gapang My mentor said this to me: "Stop saying sorry. Say it when you really have done something wrong, not everything you need to say "sorry.“ I believe that my character is being formed during my SMSM practicum, and it has greatly boosted my confidence. My mentor not only observes my teaching and learning but also my attitude and character. I did not know it until Teacher Eric addressed it to me and explained it to me. Not just that, he also taught me to be more chill and at the same time be professional without showing any disrespect to anyone. Thanks to my mentor's advice, I can see what flaws Ineed to improve to make me out of my diffidence.
Week 27 Excellent Principal, Madam Jennifer Asing The first time I went to the principal's office, I saw that at her door it was written ‘Pengetua Cemerlang’. I was wondering why the principal was given that title at the time. Then, I had 6 months of amazing experience in SMSM. It only took 6 months to know the reason why. Mdm Jennifer really deserves the title. I have never seen a principal like her. Mdm always goes around the school, checking every class. Her concern and her love for everything that is related to the school just amaze me. She is very earnest in doing her job even though her schedule is so packed and busy. She always has time for everything. She really manages her jobs and time so well. Besides that, during team building too, I can see her humbleness when the instructors say to throw away their position, we are all the same here. When the instructor said to arrange your slippers and shoes outside, she went out and helped to arrange them. She sat down on the floor and really relaxed there. No words can describe how awesome she is. Go to SMSM, you will know why she deserves the title “Excellent Principal”.
