SBE Report Guidance

5.0 New Knowledge Gained

5.1 observation

Based on the method of observation that i have been carried out, a lot of new knowledge that i got from it. First, i found out that all the teachers have to teach based on document standard that already prepared by the Ministry of Education. This document standard play an important role as the guidance for the teacher to teach the pupils. Teacher also will stay on track to teach their pupils using this document standard.

Beside, I also learned that the commitment of teachers will the most important thing to bring the success for the school. This is because in my pbs school at Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara, all the teachers there give their full cooperation and also full commitment to the school. None of them went out from school before going back time and also none of them coming late to school. They are also very approachable.  They will lend me a help whenever i need a help. All of them also have a very good relationship with the Headmaster, Mr Zainorin. This relationship is very important so that the cooperation between teachers and Headmaster to gain success for the school can work very well.

In the discipline aspect, I can say that this Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara has an excellent discipline archievement. This is because this school has improve a lot in the term of discipline. The Headmaster did told me that the play truant rate in this school was very high in the year of 2009 to 2014. But the rate decrease by the year of 2015 and this year he said that only one case of playing truant reported to him. This is because the role of teacher in preventing this case is very good. All of the teachers there put a big effort in preventing this case especially the discipline teacher, Mr Abdul Bar. So, here i can learn that teacher play the important role to take care the discipline of students.

Last but not least, I found out that the management of school is very important in order to archieve the excellent for the school. Although this school was categorise as rural area school and low achievement school, but this school has an excellent management. This excellent management will help the school to succeed.

5.3 Interview

The other method that i used to get information is interview. I interview 4 teachers in different subject. I learned a lot of things by this interview. Firstly, i got the knowledge about special need classes here. i interviewed special needs teacher, Mr. Azrul. In SK Padang Besar Utara, there are 4 classes of special needs prepared. In each class there are about 14 pupils. I also learned that in special needs class there have no specific assessment like the normal pupils. That means they don't have any examination provided by the Ministry. Their examination just carried out by their teachers. Beside, i also learned that in special needs class, pupils are not categorised by their age but their level. This means one class can consist of many different ages pupils. I also learned that in special needs class, there will consist of pupils from age of 7 years old to 14 years old. 

On top of that, I got a knowledge about LINUS. LINUS is actually a programme to detect pupils that hard to follow the lesson and the teachers have to do intervention to help this pupil. LINUS in English must be carried by the English teacher. Its different from Bahasa Melayu subject. It will be carried out by the remedial teacher. I have interview my mentor, Mrs Liza she said that there are 9 task for the pupils to do and if they didn't able to do, teacher have to do intervention to help them. This LINUS test also must been carried out during the English period. 

Last but not least, i interviewed Moral teacher, Mrs Kalsom for the small class. She teach Moral for standard 1 pupils. There are only two pupils in that Moral class. I also got a knowledge about how to handle the small class. I found out that its an advantage to us to have a small class. We can give the full attention to them. Beside we also can hide them during the lesson. We also can conduct activities with them.

2.0- Professional Statement

School Based Experience (SBE) is a programme for PISMP students. It is to allow the students to feel the experience of living in the school and also to get closer to the school environment. Beside, the students also can learn more about the methodology of teaching by the teachers at the school. Students will be given a chance to enter the classroom to observe how the teachers carried out teaching process. Beside students also will get opportunity to make interaction with the school community.

SBE must be done in primary school and students can choose their own school. The purpose of SBE is to make the students able to find a lot of information about teaching profession. Beside, it is also for the students to get use the life as an educator. It is also for the students to learn on how to act or handle activities that they will carry out in school when they becomes a teacher later.

There are also other several purposes of SBE. Some of them are to able the students to:

1.) Understand school environment.

2.) Suit themselves in school.

3.) Get the exposure about the learner’s environment.

4.) Understand the strategy of teaching.

5.) Create the skill of interaction with teachers and also school staff 

6.) Create the positive values in teaching profession.

7.) Make a reflection about the role of teacher in the classroom.

For that reason, I am choosing the school in Padang Besar area to do my SBE. The school is Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara (SKPBU). This school is situated in the northern side of Perlis. It is a rural area school. This school also is a low class school. The main reason why am i choosing this school is i want to feel the experience of teaching and learning environment in rural area school. This is because i was raised up in urban area and i never feel the learning and teaching environment of school in rural area. Besiade, I choose this school also because they are some teachers that i know in this school. So, I'm sure I can get help easily. Before doing the SBE, i have to find all the information about SKPBU such as the address and also the phone number. 

Before SBE

Before go to school to do the SBE, we are having SBE briefing by Jabatan Ilmu Pendidikan of IPG Kampus Perlis. The lecturer that responsible for this briefing is Pn. Jauriah. In this briefing session, Puan Jauriah gives us the formal letter that Jabatan Ilmu Pendidikan send to the school that we are attending for SBE. In this briefing also, Puan Jauriah do tell us everything that we should do when we attend school for our SBE. As this is our first time doing SBE, Puan Jauriah gives us the best briefing about the things that we should do when we are in the school for SBE.

We actually got a lot of task to do in the school for SBE. First and foremost and the most important thing or purpose of doing SBE is to make an observation if the teacher in that school use the nine lesson event that were proposed by Robert Gagne in his theory. The nine lesson event including gaining attention, provide learning objectives and others. The other purpose of SBE is to get knowledge and experience about how teaching and learning take place. Then, the other purpose is to train ourselves to make a good interaction with school communities such teachers, school staff and others. 

The task that we should do is to collect as much data and informations as we can by using any method that we like for example observation, interview and others. Puan Jauriah advice us to have a good relationship with all school communities so that we can get help by them easily to get the informations and also data. We have to collect much data and informations to complete our task given. 

After listening to that briefing, i can get the rough idea on what to do during my SBE. Beside knowing the environment of the school during SBE, we are also have to find informations for our task. So we have to be wise in managing our time to get the experience and also to find information. Then, we also have to to see how teacher teach the students and how teacher attract their attention.

During SBE

While doing SBE in Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara, i have carry out observation about this school. I have observe about the management of the school.This school is lead by the Headmaster, Mr Zainorin helped by Pennong Kanan, Penolong Kanan Hal Ehwal Murid and also Penolong Kanan Kokurikulum. This school also has 3 staff that work at the office. The majority of the teachers in this school are females.

I also make observation about the classroom management. School give me full cooperation by giving me chance to enter classroom to observe the teacher teaching and also giving me chance to relieve class. By doing this observation, i am able to answer and finish the task given to me. Beside using observation technique, I also use the technique of interview. We were given a chance to interview teachers, students, and also staff. I take this opportunity to some of the teachers and also my mentor. 

By interviewing the teachers, I also get a lot of informations that i needed. For example, the technique that the teacher use to archived all of the nine lesson events proposed by Robert Gagne. Then, i also know how the teacher try to understand the students’ condition.

After SBE

After carried out my SBE, i have collected and also updated all the informations and also data that i got during my SBE in Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara. Beside, i also got a lot of new knowledge that are really useful to me. I can use this knowledge when i become a teacher one day. I also learned the technique about asking in effective way. I can use this technique to ask someone to get help or information. I can say that using the correct technique of asking, we will easily get help and information. We will also get respect from others. 

Beside, i also get the great input after meeting the Headmaster. The Headmaster give me a lot of advice to be a good teacher one day. I have to be a good teacher in order to teach to pupils to become a good person in this world. The Headmaster also remind me to always share my knowledge with other persons. This is because the people expect teacher as a very good human. He also told me that i have to be ready to be placed in any school when i got posted later.

On top of that, i also can do analysis that school environment and classroom management is very important in developing the students in all aspects. This good school environment and classroom management will lead the pupils to feel happy to learn. Beside that, the complete classroom facilities also can help to achieve effective teaching and learning condition.

The complete classroom facilities is very important to make sure that the pupils feel comfortable to study. Actually, not only pupils. Teachers also will feel uncomfortable if there is not enough facilities.

2.5- Evaluation And Report

So as a conclusion, during my SBE from 7 March to 11 March have give me a lot of new knowledge and also values to myself. I have choose Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara that situated in Padang Besar, Perlis. As we know school is the place where all of us had been educate to become something today. Actually, school also not only the place to get curriculum knowledge. School is actually the place for the students to develop everything including physical, emotional, social and others parallel to National Philosophy of Education.  

Beside that, i also know that the technique and skill to control class are very important. This is because by using the correct technique and skill, the class can be controlled. When the class can be controlled, the teaching and learning session can take place smoothly. In this school, the amount of pupils in each class is 14 pupils. This amount is small. But the pupils are very active. So the teacher have to use the great skill to control the class.

After did this task, i have feel the environment of school. Different from the old days, i enter school as a pupil but now i enter school as a teacher trainee.A teacher trainee the experience of doing SBE really useful for me. This experienced teach me to suit myself in school as a teacher. I also learn that I have to use  many approach and techniques to teach pupils to make sure they don't feel bored.

3.0 Data Collection Instruments Regarding Task Assigned

3.2- observation

When doing this task, I am using certain instruments. One of them is observation.  The first thing that i observe is the facilities of this school. Overall, the facilities in this school is complete and perfect and can bring positive impact to learning and teaching process. Even though, there are still certain facilities that should be improved.

Beside, i also observe the discipline of the pupils. The discipline of the pupils here are still under control. This is because the teacher play their important role to take care of pupils’ discipline.  This discipline matter is not a small matter because it can affect the school.

Last but not least, I also observe the process of teaching and learning that take place in the classroom. I observe the way of teacher teaching the pupils. The teachers teach with all their heart.

Refer to Reflective form

7.0 Final Report

As a conclusion, all i can say is this School Based Experienced (SBE) is very good and important for the teacher trainee like me. This is because SBE need me to do a task in primary school. I have chosen Sekolah Kebangsaan Padang Besar Utara as a school for me to do my SBE. There are several reasons I'm choosing this school and one of them are i want to have an experience to live in rural area school because i always study in urban area school. Beside, my aunty also teach in this school. So, it is easier for my accommodation purpose. I also choose this school because as we know, this school is a low prestige school. So i want to see the effort of the teacher and also their intervention to raise up the level of this school. Even though this school has poor achievement in curriculum but SKPBU has a great achievement in cocuriculum activity that is choir singing. This school has represent Perlis in the year of 2014 in choir competition. 

After doing this SBE, i can adapt many positive value into myself from this SBE. Firstly, i gain a lot of self confidence in myself. This is when i have to relieve class and teach the pupils alone. I have gain my self-confidence because by hook or by crook i have to teach them. Beside, i also gain the skill of interaction with the other people. For example in the school, I learn the skill to interact with other teachers and also school staff. I also learned that this interaction is very important because we need to know people as we may need help from them someday. 

On top of that, School Based Experienced also teach me to become a responsible teacher in the scope of pupils’ performance. The success of pupils are our responsibility. This is because their parents have put the biggest hope on us to teach their children. So we have to do our best to teach the pupils until they succeed. Ministry of Education also has make a lot of programme to help pupils gaining success. For example, LINUS programme has planned to help pupils that are slow in learning. This programme is very good because pupils that slow in learning can catch up the lesson by the intervention made by the teachers.

School based Experience also teach me to be an understanding person. I enter Year 1 class that is 1 Pintar. There is one boy named Aiman. He is a slow learner person. But most of the teacher did not realised that. So the teacher keep on get angry with him. I learned that i have to investigate first about my pupils instead of just get angry with them. I have to approach the pupils softly to know the problems that they are having.

Last but not least, this school also emphasise on the spiritual aspect of the pupils. The evidence is every Friday, there will be Yassin recitation for the Muslim pupils.

As a conclusion, I have learned a lot of new things and improve myself by doing this SBE.
