SBE... Wunderba!!!!

I just finished my SBE Programme yesterday and the experience was very meaningful and beneficial especially for the preparation for practicum next month. I really can't wait going for it.

Going for SBE or School Based Experience has opened up my horizons of the reality of what really happen in schools right now. In UPM and in IPTI I only learned about the theories of how to teach, what to expect, etc in schools, but the visit to the school showed that all these would not necessarily happen.

For example, before this, I expected that students in the first class would be more interesting and easy to teach than students in the last class, but the reality was vice versa. Going to these classes learning how to teach from the experienced teachers, I was surprised to see that students in the last class were more responsive than the students in the first class. They were eager to respond to the teachers and were not afraid or shy to make mistakes unlike the students in the first class. They were reluctant to speak even in their first language, very passive, and showed no interest in participating in the activities done during the lesson.

This implies that I must not be judgmental especially towards the students that I'm going to teach during the practicum session and after I become the real teacher. This experience has indeed made me to be more reflective about myself.

However, the overall experience of going to the school not as a student but as a teacher is something that is not to be forgotten. The teachers and the students are all very friendly and helpful towards me and my other friends. If only we were given a longer time to stay in that school, I'm sure that I'll get to know them better.
