The SEA-Teacher Project

-
            Hello everybody! To start this blog, I would like to share my experience in joining the SEA-Teacher project. SEA-Teacher Project or the “Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast Asia” itself is a project that aims to provide opportunity for pre-service student teachers from universities in Southeast Asia to have teaching experiences in school in other countries in Southeast Asia. This project is embarked by The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education.
            Based on the SEAMEO seven priority areas for the eleven SEAMEO Member countries to work together to improve the quality of education in Southeast Asia, “Revitalizing Teacher Education” is one of the priority areas in building and strengthening capacity of teachers in the region.

The exchange is preferably for 4th year students whose major are in math, science, English and pre-school. The duration is for one month and based on the mechanism of cost sharing basis. Students’ roles and responsibilities are assigned weekly during the one month period (observe, assist in teaching, teach and reflect). Moreover, the host universities will provide mentors to supervise and monitor the students throughout the practicum period.
The Objectives of the Project are to enable pre-service student teachers to develop their teaching skills and pedagogy, to encourage the pre-service student teachers to practice their English skills and to allow the pre-service student teachers to gain a broader regional and world view.  
Before SEA-Teacher project, I have a strong desire to go abroad and explore more about the world. Luckily, my university gave the announcement through its official Instagram account that there was an exchange program for undergraduate teacher. Not long after I knew the announcement, I wanted to join the program because it is a very great chances for me as an undergraduate teacher to broader my knowledge. After that, I prepared any requirement that was needed. It didn’t take me so long to prepare anything. I passed the administration test which was the second step to be joining this program. I was afraid when it came to interview test, because it was my very first time to join an exchange program and I didn’t want to lose that chance. I did my really best for this program. Not long after that, the announcement said that I passed the test which means I will be one among four students that are given a chance to improve our knowledge through this program. I am so grateful knowing that I will be given a chance to develop my English skill and gain the broader world view
There are only four students who are selected to join this program. My friend and I will be in Thailand and the other two will be in Philipines. Now, I have to prepare anything that I will need because I will go to Thailand and be a part of this program in less than one week. I will come back with stories in Thailand, and see you!

            Hi everyone! Welcome back to my SEA-Teacher story. In the previous post, I already explained about the first week activity which was Classroom observation and now I will explain about the second activity in this practicum, it is Teaching Assistance. Teaching Assistance is an activity which had to be done right before teaching practice. In this stage, I helped the teachers to encourage the students to understand the lesson taught by the teacher by explaining the material in a small group or one by one. For teaching assistance I followed Teacher Ali’s and Teacher Steve’s class and Teacher Beth’s class and did 20 times teaching assistance.             In teacher Ali’s and teacher Steve’s class, I helped them to repeat and explain the material that was already delivered to students. In Primary level, it was a must for the teacher to do repetition for the lesson and also instructions whe...

            Hi everyone! Welcome back to my SEA-Teacher story. In the previous post, I talked about an activity before teaching practice and it is teaching assistance. Now, I will tell about the teaching practice. My teaching practice was in Primary 6/2, M1/2 and also M2/2. In primary 6/1, I taught parts of body and doing exercise. In the previous meeting, Teacher Steve did teach the student the same material, so I what I did was doing review of the material. I prepared my lesson plan far before teaching practice and added a game for teaching practice. The game was adaptation from “Simon says Games” but I changed the name into “Teacher Says”. I used Power Point Media and some colored paper that were attached to the whiteboard. I did consult it to my cooperating teacher in Primary, teacher Ali. At the end of the class, I gave the evaluation to the student in a paper with 10 questions in total.   In the other day, Teacher Beth...
