Teacher Concern

1. Self-concerns: ability to teach; class control; discipline

In the last lesson, I was being able to teach the student confidently. I am able to control the class properly by asking them to be quite during the lesson and ask them properly to sit in front of the IWB so that they can concentrate during the lesson and I can easily control their behavior. In the lesson I had prepare the activity on “how to save a document in the diskette”. I had put them in group of two/three since there are not enough computers available. To be fair, I ask the students to type a different short passage for each person so that everyone had a chance to do the activity. I had provided them a diskette and a handout of the steps to save documents.


2. Task concerns: teaching tasks such as big classes; inadequate instructional materials

I am teaching year three with 28 pupils in the classroom. It is quite challenging at first then after sometimes, they already know and understand the way I teach. Now, I can handle the class easily but sometimes when they feel nothing to do they tend to play around and talk to their friends. The material for teaching is for me inadequate because there is no internet connection and the computer for pupils is not enough and some are not working. But, by putting them in pairs, they can help each other


3. Impact – learning concerns: needs of pupils; about themselves as individuals, the tasks and contents of the teaching process, and impact of their teaching on pupil behaviors.

The impact of the learning to the pupils is that they be able to answer any question ask to them and they be able to finish the activity by saving their document in the diskette given. This is because they had learned the lesson easily and they enjoy the lesson. In the lesson I had distributed, the diskette for the student to try to save their documents by following the steps in the handout given. I gave them a short passages to be type in. the passage is actually the lesson I had thought them which is “the function of the storage devices”. This also makes them to remember the function of the storage device and teach them how to spell it right. If there are enough sources provided in the classroom, the impact of learning will be higher. A source means the computer and the internet connection. This is what the pupils need. I as a facilitator to the pupils also give impact to them. I often walk around to give them support and help if they have something to ask. During lesson I always put a high expectation in my students.
