Beliefs, Expectations, Teacher Characteristic
Wow!! My classmates are awesome. They presented expertly the idea of each topic differently. I am thinking that it should be the application of believe on motivation itself. We are expected to present the topic by our way, the lecturer's expectation at the previous meeting makes us try to find a unique and difference way in presenting the topic. The lecturer believed in us, we believe in ourselves, this is the way believes works. The expectation of the lecturer is like a guide for us to achieve the highest order thinking skills to create a presentation. That is why expectation of teacher is important to influence the learners.
About expectation and belief, actually I just found it is different term in this course. Moreover about the meaning, the really importance is about the application. In learning and teaching process, as a teacher we have to explain the learning objective and outcomes of the learning. Take a look deeply; this order is guide teacher to show their expectation to students. If this expectation is deliver in a good way, students will understand what actually they want to do and it influence them to reach that expectation. I have experience about this case at school experience program before. At the beginning, I do not really explain the objective and expectation to the students, it made them being not enthusiasm to do the activity. It was also written at their reflection, some of them wrote suggestion for me to explain clearly about what the meeting's objective. Well, I had done that because I race against time which is limited because of the subtraction time. But this is a failure because even if I have allocated the time perfectly, they got nothing from the meeting. They may do any activities that fun but they do not know what that is for. It is importance to be my own reflection to always give them motivation through explaining the objective at the beginning of meeting. Then I have to continue the motivation till the end of process. Beliefs - effort - control the feelings.
Another experience a got from this meeting is about teacher performance and characteristic. We already know that each of our students is individual who has different multiple intelligence and way of learning. Teacher have to sensitive towards their goals, it will guides teacher to regarded students as special. By regarded as special, students will motivate to do the best for achieve their goals. But teacher who careless will have difficulties to just find students' goals. That is why teacher have to have appropriate characteristic to build the students' motivation. One of the teacher characteristic is know the students name. Why is it important? Because by know the students' name, students will feel appreciated and it is also shows that the teacher care to students.
There is much learn that I got from this course, I believe of the teacher who can implement this course will inspire the students, and I want to be the part of it.

hahhaha,,,,it's kinda a meaningful experience for those who have the same experiences like you, Deshinta,,,
ReplyDeleteYes, remembering students' names are crucial. I agree with you. how come we can as teachers can build a good relationship with our students without knowing their names? like what you said before, by knowing students' names, of course students will feel appreciated by teachers and wil be more motivated to do the best in class. I knew that some people have a difficulty to remember others' name. But As reflect to my experience, when my teacher know my name already, I just feel like that how worthiest I am. Yes, I am being recognized, I am being acknowledged and I am happy because everything about me; What I say, what I do in class, will be noticed by my teacher.
For teacher, I think it is a must to remember students' name. In my oponion, when your are being acknowledged by your students that you know and remember their names, it can be more easier for your students to increase their impressions of you.
