Models of Instruction: Using Appropriate Model of Instruction for Students
By Ira Ernawati
To be a teacher is not easy because a teacher will be responsible for everything in the class and outside class. It is not only about the student but also it involves the way a teacher to control the class. Hence, as a teacher to be, we should be smart and creative to face our students. So it is really necessary for us to prepare our selves before teaching in the real class.
Well, talking about students, as a teacher to be, we have to understand to his / her students. It supposes us to know what type of our students is and what kind of way that we can use to teach them. It can help us to guide and conduct teaching well so the students will be comfort in their learning. I do thank to god because He lets me know about it.
4th September 2011 was my third class in joining Principle of Effective Teaching and Assessment course. In this class, we discussed about new topic which can support us in teaching process. That is called models of instruction. Well, it was really challenging topic. Here, we told about kind of model of instruction which can be used in teaching process. Based on our discussion, I have known that there are four kind of method of instruction such us Direct method, Guided discovery, Lecture-discussion, and Group interaction.
Those methods can be applied as long as appropriate with the condition of students. It means that we can not force our selves to apply all the methods in the same time. It also supposes us to be aware that all the methods have strengths and also weakness. It must be balance between the method that we are going to apply and the material which we are going to deliver. I think, if we can use both well our teaching will be OK.
One thing that I like from this topic is about the activity in sharing material. I think the way that the lecturer used was really interesting. By having discussing, it really helps us in understanding the material easily. But once again, I got little bit bored in this class. Well, maybe the lecturer can provide us with ice breaking or something that can make us fresh. The activity that was applied in this class was micro teaching even it was just little micro teaching but it really helps us in understanding of those kinds of method instruction.
I hope I can master and understand it well so someday I can apply it in my teaching.
