PRINCIPLE IN
TEACHING
Change, choice, and values are the three
pillars of life, according to Stephen Covey.
The only way to live and flourish in this rapidly
changing environment is to adapt and take
the appropriate actions. Every action and
decision we make is governed by one or more
guiding principles. It takes certain abilities,
expertise, methods, and dedication to teach
others new things. The two most vital teaching
tenets are to be enthusiastic about the
subject and to aid in students' knowledge
acquisition. It should be all about inspiring in
the pupils a real passion of learning, as well
as curiosity, knowledge, and experience.
REFLECTION OF
MICROTEACHING
WHAT IS MICROTEACHING?
Microteaching is a method of teacher
preparation that enables student
teachers to polish their teaching
approaches in a moderate, simulated
classroom setting. The technique was
created by Dwight Allen and his
colleagues at Stanford University in
the late 1950s and early 1960s. It is
also used to retrain or polish the
abilities of working teachers.
Firstly, I would like to thank Madam Nirmala for
teaching the subject EED21604 Microteaching, it
was a wonderful jouney throughout the semester. I
have learned and managed to complete a lot of
things during the semester. It was a blast in the
classroom, learning each topics peculiarly has
helped me to understands more and help me to
become a better educator. Thank you Madam
Nirmala for providing me limitless guidance and
advice throughout the span of my voyage.

INTRODUCTION TO
MICROTEACHING
The day's lesson was introduced by
Madam Nirmala by outlining our
Scheme of Work (SOW) for this course
and our impending microteaching
session, which is the most crucial
component of this subject.

TOPIC 1: TEACHING
AND MICROTEACHING
KBSM AND KSSM + CEFR
SYLLABUS 21ST CENTURY
LEARNING
Madam Nirmala gave an explanation of the changes
to the KBSM and KSSM curricula as well as the
English CEFR. These adjustments were made to
provide pupils a second chance to attempt their best
and to provide continuing evaluation. Next, we
discussed the DSKP and the day's lesson plan.
Afterwards, Madam Nirmala went into more detail
about the lesson plan template. The sub skills should
receive less time (25 minutes) than the focused skills
(45 minutes) (15 minutes). Different targets must be
set for differentiated instruction for students of
diverse ability in order to accomplish the goals.
Learning lesson plan was my favorite thing through
the semester. I am able to fully understand on how
does lesson plan work and know how to operate a
lesson plan. Madam Nirmala give out the lesson plan
template and explained it with detailed information
for us to be able to understand. I am so ready to
create more lesson plan during my practicum.
Wednesday 14th Sept. 2022
TOPIC 1: TEACHING
AND MICROTEACHING
I learned the crucial concepts from the
textbook. Themes, subjects, primary and
secondary skills that are the emphasis
skills, the language or grammatical focus,
etc. are a few examples. However, I
continued in learning that if the class is
conducted for two hours, the learning
standards can have principally two skills,
but if the class is held for one hour, it is
preferable to have one major skill and one
complimentary skill.

TOPIC 2:TEACHING
AND LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
ROLES OF LO'S IN LESSON
PLAN
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Prepare and intend to achieve.
LEARNING OUTCOME
Ensure students can complete
the tasks
Using the SMART method, we set precise and
quantifiable objectives to make sure our lesson plan
is acceptable. The three educational domains—
cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor—were
likewise covered by Madam Nirmala. These are
mostly utilised to assist students in maintaining
mental equilibrium while learning in the form of
thinking (HOTS), expressing emotions in a range
from the lowest to the highest, and ultimately
engaging in fine motor skills.
Wednesday 21st Sept. 2022
TOPIC 2:TEACHING
AND LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
I've discovered that knowing objective statements
beginning with A, B, C, and D—where each
alphabet stands for a distinct term, such as A for
audience, B for behaviour, C for condition, and D
for degree—is the first step in establishing
objectives. As a result, assertion B should be listed
first in the lesson plan's writing goals, followed by
statements C and D.
Friday 23rd Sept. 2022
TUTORIAL
REFLECTION
A assignment to accomplish one of the
lesson plan's learning objectives was given
to us after the class had been performed.
My group's primary skill, which Madam
Nirmala had assigned to each group, was
speaking. Thus, we chose the Form 1 theme
of "Journey" as our direction. We choose to
finish the writing exercise by relying just on
that one ability. Considering the skill and
subject, we select activities.
Wednesday 28th Sept. 2022
TOPIC 3:
SET INDUCTION
SET INDUCTION?
To keep students' attention and
interest during the whole class,
employ an anticipatory set. The topic
for the day is familiar to the students
and may be related to through past
knowledge.
The importance for a strong first
impression of a class was discussed by
Madam Nirmala. This is important
because it will indicate how the kids will
behave and perform during the whole
session for the day. Students won't be
interested if it's dull and uninteresting,
and they may decide not to interact with
the teacher. The teacher is failing to
meet the learning objectives in the
meanwhile.
Wednesday 5th Oct. 2022
TOPIC 7: TEACHING
AIDS IN LANGUAGE
TEACHING
TEACHING AID?
Teaching aids that make a
lesson more engaging for
students.
We learned about the learning pyramid
from Madam Nirmala, who stressed the
importance of a teacher being at the
level of (teaching others) and having all
of her talents in use. The teacher
outlined what it meant to be student-
centered and have an interactive
classroom. To guarantee successful
learning, this will integrate the friendly
tone and flipped classroom learning.
Saturday 8th Oct. 2022
MOCKTEACHING:
SET INDUCTION
For Set Induction, I had to present it
through Zoom. I choose the topic The
Savvy E-Shopper. I had a pretty
positive feedback from Madam
Nirmala and my peers. I had fun
doing the Set Induction as it is was
easy and it went smoothly.
Wednesday 12th Oct. 2022
TOPIC 4: STIMULUS
VARIATION
FACTORS THAT GET STUDENTS'
ATTENTION
Intensity: (loud teacher's voice,
competitive games with bright class
environment)
Contrast: (bring bigger teaching aids
than usual)
Movement: (move position of items in
classroom)
Audio-visual aids: (incorporate all kinds
of media)
Teacher's personal behaviour:
(enthusiastic, stimulating, energetic &
expressive.)
REFLECTION
In addition to teaching us about stimulus-
response, Madam Nirmala also taught us
how to cope with students' attitudes and
motivation in the classroom. We learnt in
this lecture how crucial it is to evaluate
classroom situations, especially those
involving pupils, since when the teacher is
bored, the students are bored as well. In
order to hold students' attention in the
classroom, a number of elements were
presented to us, such as intensity,
contrast, movement, audio-visual aids, and
teacher conduct.
Wednesday 2nd Nov. 2022
TOPIC 5:
QUESTIONING
TEACHNIQUES
Today, Madam Nirmala taught us to a
strategy she uses frequently in
lessons, the questioning approach.
Students get a "tap" on the head
when questions are asked, causing
them to remember earlier
information. A Covid-19 poster was
used by Madam to explain the
question-asking technique. After
that, we spoke about what makes a
good question, such as being clear
and well-directed (call names).
extensive use of appropriate
language), stimulating the mind
(HOTS), and many others. The use of
Bloom's Taxonomy questions—lower
levels inquire about prior knowledge,
higher levels ask about thinking skills
—was then continued by the teacher.
Friday 4th Nov. 2022
TOPIC 6:
REINFORCEMENT
STRATEGIES
The class more closely focused on the case
study of reinforcement and why teachers use
it since we don't want students to behave in
the same way that teachers do. Similar to
this lecture, there were both good and bad
behaviours that the classroom should and
shouldn't reward. Since youngsters could
forget what they have done, reinforcement
should be administered as soon as possible.
Good reinforcement in the classroom, in my
experience, provides a number of benefits,
such as improved student engagement,
boosted self-esteem, and a positive learning
environment.

PROJECT 1: TASK A
EDUCATIONAL GAME
For our Project 1, Task A. We
were given to create a
educational game. We have
chosen the topics and find a
game. It was a lifesize Jenga
and we all divided the tasks
equally. We had so much during
the project.
Friday 11th Nov. 2022
MOCKTEACHING:
WHLE LESSON
It's the continuation of the
mockteaching, it is being held in
Zoom. I had to record it and
present it during the class.
Madam Nirmala gave a positive
feedback as my voice is clear
and slides helps them
understand better.
Friday 25th Nov. 2022
PROJECT 1: TASK B
BRIEFING
Madam Nirmala demonstrated how to utilise
the Wix app for Task B of Project 1.
Today, Madam Nirmala instructed us to use
the app and create activities based on the
topic to which we would be given; each
member of the group must complete at least
two activities based on the skills.
Friday 30th Nov. 2022
TOPIC 9: USE OF
WHITEBOARD IN
CLASSROOM
The day and learning objective should be placed
above the left of the whiteboard, the topic should
be placed above the middle, and the vocabulary
should be placed below the date on the above
right of the whiteboard, according to what
Madam Nirmala taught us about how to organise
the whiteboard. This will prevent confusion for
both the teacher and the students.
We were also advised to use more blue and black
markers rather than red ones since they are more
versatile and effective on a whiteboard. Red
markers, on the other hand, are likely used to
recognise mistakes for the pupils to see so they
may improvise. This will be a fantastic method for
organising the whiteboard so that neither the
pupils nor the teacher will be perplexed about the
lesson that day.
Friday 7th Dec. 2022
PROJECT 1: TASK B
BLOG
Ayuni, Ain Yasmin and I presented our Blog
presentation. We divided the tasks equally and
each do 2 skills of activty. Our topic is
Teenagers from Form 4 textbook. We managed
to complete the blog by using various type of
teaching aids such as Padlet, Kahoot, Canva,
Quizizz, and Wordwall. We created our blog
using strikingly.co. Madam gave us a very nice
feedback, saying that the pupils could easily
access the blog and that it was user-friendly.
Madam suggested that we clarify the
directions in the blog so that the students
understand what they must accomplish.
PROJECT 1
REFLECTION OF
E-PORTFOLIO
I would like to thank Madam Nirmala once
again for teaching the subject EED24601
Microteaching. It was a wonderful journey.
We were asked to create a E-Portfolio for
this subject for the semester. I had taken
many pictures during the class and learning
so much about Microteaching.
Microteaching is not just a subject but it is
also a skill that is going to help the future
teachers during the parcticum later on. I
have gained so much knowledge and skills
throughout the semester. Besides, Madam
Nirmala has given her best in teaching all of
us this subject. I had so much fun
throughout my final semester.
The E-Portfolio is one of the
best project that I had
created and participate in. It
was a great oppurtunity to be
part of this subject. Thank
you!
Thank
You!
