the satisfaction of teaching...

The last part of my micro teaching was the while reading activities. I have to admit here that the only part that gave me satisfaction was this part. I was glad to get some responses from my classmates in the form of answers for the questions. Here, I would like to be proud of myself as I had never provided the exact answers in any of my task sheets. What is the point of giving all the answers written in task sheet and pretend that the students have done it own their own? That is a kind of cheating. Actually, we are cheating ourselves by doing those kinds of things. Of course, it would help us to get marks when the students are able to answer the question on the spot and no one wants to lose their points. Anyway, what kind of satisfaction that we would get by that? As for me, I feel happier when the students can understand the questions and come up with their own answers although they take time and do mistakes. I helped them to arrive at the answer but I never put the answers on the task sheet. What happens when there is answer in the task sheet is everyone would be doing their own work and they would just answer the question when the teacher asks them. Although, it is only micro teaching, it is actually our first step in the career. As a teacher, I think honesty is important for us. Micro teaching does not really reflect how good we would be in future because we still have time to polish our skills. This is just training for us on how we would handle the subject. So, if we really do the best, I think we would not face any difficulties to get the response from our students. I am happy with what I have done for my micro teaching and I accept all the comments from the tutor because I know I’m not a perfect teacher yet. In future, I need to improvise my skills of teaching to make students enjoy my lesson.
