Classroom Observation

Hi, I'm back with another blog!  
I want to share some information about my classroom observation in Satit Bangna School. 


Well, First of all .. I want to tell you about the purpose of myself observing the class. Classroom observation is one of the part that I have to do in the SEA TEACHER program. The observation class is consist of which the observer will be sitting at the back of the classroom recording the instructor's / teacher's teaching practice and student actions, include meeting with the instructor to discuss on the observations. So to know what strategies we are doing next to be able to teach better and improve with classroom environment and to also input new ideas. 









For this week, I have observed two classes, Mattayom 1/1 and Mattayom 1/2. The class is led by Teacher Foo as their math teacher. After entering their class several times. I am able to know what's his name, his behaviour, nature , and the way he knowledges to a new idea.

The unique's thing are they having their full name with a  different nickname which is way different to their real full name, whereas i had to remember each of their names and nicknames that are quite difficult for me to remember.  

After making several observations, I concluded that Teacher Centered Learning is the method used by Mathematics Teacher's there. The method is a fairly good method used for teaching. Some of them can be drive to bored when they have to constantly pay attention to the teacher explaining on the lesson. Some even fall asleep in class.

Fortunately, Teacher Foo has a strategy to overcome it by creating group assignments so that they discuss together to do it and then do the problem on the whiteboard. 









So I have an idea to create a games that's relevent to the lessons. It'll crack up the boredom the students tend to faced in class. 

See you on the next blog ~

Orientation Day ! Wednesday, 01 August 2018 Hii !  Welcome back to my journey of SEA TEACHER BATCH 6  Today, the first activity to be held by Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University will be Orientation Day. Event will start at 08.00 a.m. in the morning. We have to reach  on time or early for the event.  I woke up earlier than my friends because I knew i was going to take a long time to prepare myself. The time shown 7:00 a.m. in the morning .. at that moment, we are still having our breakfast. I tried to adjust to the environment and food provided. You need to know that food / cuisine in every country has a different taste and delight. Yet, this is still the first challenge, repeating this in my heart ; that there will still be more challenging challenges along the way. After the breakfast, we immediately headed to Satit Bangna School for the Orientation Day event at the Faculty of Education. The opening ceremony / event of the SEA TEACHER will be hosted by

Sawadee kha !! Welcome back to my journey SEA TEACHER BATCH 6 In this part, i want tell you about my school  School Profile      Satit Bangna School was established by Mr. Churairat (Srikraivin), the former Managing Director of Raymund Land, and is aware of the problem regarding the development of education for children in Thailand, especially the condition of its crowded streets filled with air, dust and noise pollution.  The children have to spend time commuting from home to school for up to several hours in a day that which makes it very time consuming leaving the students with little or no opportunity to play or partake in activities that are useful in the development of both their physical and mental health.  As  a result, this issue significantly impacts the development of the children’s intelligence. The result of this problem will reflect in developing the country in the future.      Mr. Churairat planned to build a school in the suburbs in order to have a good a

My last journey as a teacher in Thailand 😥 First of all i want say thankyou to Seameo, Valaya Alongkorn Rajabhat University, and Satit Bangna School. Now i will tell you about the results and challenges that i felt when i joined this SEA - Teacher program.  1. Purpose of Practicum            Talking about the purpose of Practicum is to develop the potential of teacher students to become professional teachers in the future. With this program I can challenges my skills, challenges my knowledge, practice my English skills. How will I deal with the work environment, open minded to everyone. This program teaches me to always think openly to understand the differences that occur around the environment, such as language, culture, behavior and many other significant differences. This program really opens the eyes to know, what and who the teacher is. It looks more broadly like what the teaching profession really is, is it just teaching in class and then completing it? And of c
