Program Senamrobik 2011 SK USJ 12

Program Senamrobik 2011 yang turut melibatkan pelatih “Internship” ini merupakan satu program yang memang memberikan saya pengalaman baru dengan usaha bersama- sama demi satu matlamat yang melibatkan semua golongan/warga sekolah dan PIBG iaitu untuk menjayakan program Senamrobik 2011.

Saya juga berasa sangat gembira ketika menjalankan aktiviti ini kerana semua ahli-ahli jawatankuasa yang terdiri daripada guru dan ibu bapa telah menjalankan tugas dan tanggungjawab masing-masing dengan baik dan sempurna. Setiap ahli jawatankuasa memberikan kerjasama yang sangat tinggi dan berdedikasi dalam peranan yang dimainkan masing-masing. Ini menunjukkan semangat yang tinggi memastikan program berjalan dengan lancar dari awal hinggalah ke akhir mengikut rancangan untuk mencapai objektif program iaitu sasaran RM 100,000.00

a. Program Senamrobik turut melibatkan agensi luar bersama dengan pihak korporat dipertanggungjawabkan untuk mengadakan pameran-pameran tertentu yang menerangkan serba sedikit mengenali profesion masing-masing. Ini bukan sahaja telah mencorak kepelbagaian aktiviti dalam program, malah ia merupakan satu pendedahan baru kepada murid-murid sekolah dan ibu bapa untuk lebih terdedah kepada maklumat- malumat yang dipamerkan mengikut kepakaran dalam bidang-bidang tertentu.

Akhir kata, Program Senamrobik 2011 peringkat sekolah boleh membantu mengeratkan lagi ikatan silaturahim yang sedia ada antara pihak sekolah dengan ibu bapa serta memupuk semangat permuafakatan di antara pihak sekolah dan ibu bapa murid demi meningkatkan keperluan infrastruktur dan prasarana sekolah supaya lebih sempurna, selesa dan ceria.

Mengendalikan Perhimpunan Rasmi

= Aktiviti Projek Internship =

Kami berasa sangat gembira ketika menjalankan projek ini kerana semua guru SK USJ 12 memberikan tunjuk ajar dan kerjasama dengan sepenuhnya sehingga acara perhimpunan dapat berjalan dengan baik dan sempurna. Ketika menjalankan tugas juga semua guru bertugas pada minggu tersebut telah memainkan peranan masing-masing dalam memberikan penjelasan tentang skop tugasan yang dijalankan dengan jelas kepada kami, guru pelatih yang melakukan internship.

Selain itu Perhimpunan rasmi ini telah menjadikan kami, para guru pelatih, bertanggungjawab dan berkomitmen tinggi di dalam melaksanakan sebarang tugas. Dengan komitmen yang diberi akan menjayakan sesuatu yang sangat bernilai jika ia dilakukan dengan baik dan berkesan tetapi jika sebaliknya akan menghasilkan kerja yang kurang berkualiti dan tidak mantap.

Oleh yang demikian kami, guru-guru pelatih, haruslah sentiasa mengambil inisiatif yang tinggi di dalam pelaksanaan sesuatu tugas supaya berkesan dan mencapai matlamat yang dirancang. Kami berharap apa yang telah ditimba kini dapatlah kami gunakan dimasa akan dating ketika kami menjalani kehidupan yang sebenar sebagai seorang pendidik dan penggerak masyarakat.

How appreciation education works~~

Article bellow was adapted from Helping Students Motivate Themselves: Practical Answers to Classroom Challenges by Larry Ferlazzo, available August 11 from Eye on Education.

Praise Effort and Specific Actions

If we only praise students in general—"You’re very smart"—many will then try to avoid taking risks and stretching themselves. They will focus more on maintaining their image and believe that they will embarrass themselves by making mistakes. Praising effort— "You worked really hard today"—or praising specific actions—"Your topic sentence communicates the main idea"—can make students feel that they are more in control of their success, and that their doing well is less dependent on their "natural intelligence."

Build Relationships

Teachers build relationships with their students by showing that they care about them, and by learning about their lives, dreams, and challenges. This is a key element of helping students motivate themselves. Numerous studies have shown that caring relationships with teachers can help build resiliency (the capacity to persevere and overcome challenges) among children. By learning about student interests, teachers can also help connect what is being taught in the classroom to students’ lives and discover their short-and-long-term goals.

Use Cooperative Learning

Teaching engaging lessons is a "baseline reward" expectation of students. Boring lessons will not assist students to develop their intrinsic motivation to learn. That does not mean, however, that teachers have to put on costumes and become entertainers. It can, however, suggest that teachers consider keeping lecturing to a minimum and, instead, use many of the teaching strategies that have been found to be more effective for student learning. Many of these methods include some sort of cooperative learning. These can be as basic as "think-pair-share" to as ambitious as problem-based learning or project-based learning.

Show Students the Economic and Health Advantages of Doing Well in School

Multiple studies have shown a wide income disparity based on educational attainment. For example, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, adults with advanced degrees earn four times the salary of those with less than a high school degree. There are similar differences between the likely length someone will be unemployed, one’s overall health, and even how long people will live. Research demonstrates that just showing students this kind of information can result in students being more motivated to learn.

Creating Opportunities for Students to Help Make Decisions

People are more motivated and confident when they feel they have more control over their environment. Inviting students to have a voice in classroom decisions—where they sit, what day a test takes place, in what order units are studied, or even where a plant should be placed in the classroom—can help them develop that greater sense of control.

Years ago, a volunteer leader in one of our community groups was comparing two organizers with whom she had worked. She learned a lot of information from Ralph, she said. "But Johnny taught me how to think."Perhaps if we're able to keep some of these concepts in mind, our students will describe us more like Johnny than like Ralph. And perhaps they'll say we also helped them light their own fires.

Kepentingan membina hubungan guru dan murid

Hubungan guru dan murid perlu dibina kerana mempunyai kepentingan tertentu seperti:

1. Menjalinkan hubungan mesra
2. Membina iklim bilik darjah yang kondusif untuk proses Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (P&P)
3. Guru dapat menyampaikan pelajarannya dengan berkesan
4. Murid-murid akan rela mematuhi segala arahan guru dan peraturan bilik darjah
5. Memupuk disiplin arahan kerja dan disiplin diri di kalangan mereka
6. Mewujudkan iklim penyayang alam belajar dan menentukan kelancaran P&P
7. Masalah disiplin dapat dikurangkan ke tahap zero defect
8. Bilik darjah akan menjadi alam belajar yang mernarik

Disiplin asertif

Disiplin asertif merupakan suatu pendekatan sistematik dan berstruktur untuk membantu guru mengelola bilik darjah dengan berkesan. Falsafah disiplin asertif adalah berdasarkan kepentingan pematuhan murid terhadap pengajaran dan pembelajaran.

Aplikasi disiplin asertif oleh guru terhadap murid

1. Tentukan peraturan yang guru hendak melaksanakannya dalam bilik darjah
2. Tentukan akibat negatif kerana tidak mematuhi peraturan bilik darjah
3. Jangan teruskan menghukum jika teknik perbincangan boleh mengurangkan situasi ketegangan
4. Tentukan akibat positif untuk tingkah laku yang sesuai, misalnya peneguhan positif atau ganjaran kumpulan pun boleh dipertimbangkan
5. Mengorganisasikan suatu perjumpaan dengan murid-murid dan menjelaskan keperluan untuk mematuhi peraturan bilik darjah

Memahirkan diri dengan teknik asertif:

1. Apabila tingkah laku yang tidak diingini berlaku, ambil tindakan mengikut peraturan bilik darjah dengan serta merta
2. Mengenal pasti sebab atau punca berlakunya sesuatu masalah dan memberi respons dengan tingkah laku yang sesuai
3. Belajar menggunakan teknik memecah rekod dengan mengulang arahan dua kali atau lebih sehingga murid-murid mematuhi arahan guru
4. Belajar mengaplikasikan teknik ulangan positif yang merupakan cara mengulangi peraturan supaya semua murid mengetahui apa yang patut dilakukan
5. Menggunakan pujian kedekatan dengan memuji yang terdekat dengan rakan sedarjah yang bertingkahlaku buruk

Implikasi amalan budaya penyayang dalam bilik darjah

Guru penyayang di dalam bahasa Inggeris bermakna caring intellectual, iaitu guru sebagai intelektual penyayang. Seseorang itu dikatakan penyayang apabila mempunyai sifat-sifat seperti berminat, bertimbang rasa, menyedari, menyayangi, suka dan memuja.

Guru penyayang adalah guru yang menyedari, prihatin, berminat, peduli, bertimbang rasa, menjaga, memikir dan memberi perhatian terhadap permintaan, pandangan, harapan, masa depan, kebajikan, keperluan dan kebahagian murid-muridnya.

Implementing "Appreciation Education"

During my internship, i had successfully carried out my research by focusing on implementing appreciation education strategy in classroom situation. This is to improve the existing teacher-pupils and pupils-pupils relationship in classroom to a more secure boding by helping them to discover their own motivation in learning. According to the teachers in my intern school, strategies that they often use to motivate their pupils include offering incentives and rewards. For example like "If you read a certain number of books you’ll get a prize!" or "Good job, Karen!" only when pupil is performing relentlessly.

I feel that it’s very unusual for teachers to just "give up" on their pupils. Especially with a thought of "They just don’t want to learn!" The original roots of the word "motivation" comes from the word "motive", which meant an inwardly moves a person to behave a certain way." Teacher is actually helping pupils to discover their own motivation. From there, pupils are challenged to act on it.

I deeply believe that if there is only one way on earth to get anybody to do anything, is by making the other person want to do it. For this, pupils will give full cooperation and participate in the learning activities all out of their willingness. According to one of America's most profound philosophers, John Dewey said that the deepest urge in human nature is "the desire to be important".Through my observation, i found out that one of the most neglected virtues of our daily existence is appreciation. Dale Carnegie, is an author of the best book you need to lead you to success, state that honest appreciation got results where criticism and ridicule failed.

Back to my research plan, I have taken necessarily action to make changes in the way i treat and handle my pupils. I cease thinking of my accomplishment, that is to be bonded more closely and strong. For this to happen, i had adjusted myself by continuously reminding myself to see the good side or figure out the other's person's good points, and make a point to praise whenever possible in front of the other people. For me, it was always so easy to be criticism and ridicule under most circumstances. My action plan is eventually a real life challenge overcome in order to reach the expected result. If the analyzed results show no improvement in teacher-pupils and among pupils, therefore i should reflect on my action and performance to find out what really went wrong in the process.

"Don't quit!"

Don't quit is an inspirational poem that you will refer to whenever you're a bit less motivated. It's a great way to get back on track again whenever you're feeling down, are in a rut or have a block of some kind on your road.
And remember: "Don't quit!"

hen things go wrong as they sometimes will,

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit

--Rest if you must, but don't quit.

ife is strange with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a fellow turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow --

You may succeed with another blow.

ften the goal is nearer than

It seems to a fair and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up

When he might have captured the victor's cup,

And he learned too late when night came down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

uccess is failure turned inside out --

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems afar,

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, --

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Internship Experiences

Although this internship was a 4 weeks short experiences in the school, i felt like i was one of their members already. I love the culture there, the school teachers were all very united in every way especially when it comes to facing challenges. i have learnt and picked up a lot of meaningful life lesson within my intern period.

I faced challenges in completing the 3 intern projects, i had argument with my partner because of some different ways in handling stuff and also some misunderstanding in the progress due to the communication breakdown factor. In these times, i have to keep on going with the actual plan rather than wasting time dwelling on the fight. i managed to keep track although there were several unfavorable moments which i have to walk alone and be responsible for the decision i made.

I was lucky to have a good mentor in guiding me through all my difficulties n sadness. life is full of obstacles. You will never know, how you may get through the tough challenges & difficulties situation at that particular moment. God will open a small window when you witness all doors are closing in.

Somehow in life we managed to concur the challenges that appear in our life, it is like a stepping stone that will bring you to a higher level of life. Perhaps all of the obstructions that we faced, facing, or will be facing are part of God's plan. He designed and measured every problems, acknowledging strength and capabilities of handling it before He allows it to happen. i believe, everything in life happens for a purpose, Therefore, things that we had gone through will be our valuable experience in future. Success gain through lots and lots of experience that will show great difference in every aspect.
