Reflection 4

 Actually during the MMSEL class, I could not concentration well. That is because my physical condition was not good. In addition, I had just come from Senior high school to finish my School Experience Program. That was making me more felt tired and disturb my concentration. But, I know MMSEL class is always making me smile in lesson. As you known this class consists of much motivation to learn. Not only about the methods or our lecturer, but the topic in this class is motivation. We have discussed about how to give students motivation and what kinds of motivation that students needs to influence their minds during the learning. That is more interesting.

So, for this week I and my friends in group 3 have presented about the influence of the beliefs on motivations to learn and applying an understanding of learners’ needs in your classroom. Almost forget, I want to say sorry to my friends in group 3, because I did not join in my discussion continuously. I hope all of you understand my situation at the time. I was very sorry and do not want repeat it again. Actually, the material I and my friends have discussed but do not find the good concept to present. I agreed to skips the discussion to found the good concept presented. The next I was busy in my preparation to teach in SEP and cannot come in my group discussion. But I am so happy because I can join in excited presentations with KEPO QUIZ. The most interesting topic that I have understood in my presented is about the influence of the beliefs on motivation. There are many beliefs that influenced motivation such as; future outcome (expectation), value, intelligences, capability and attributions.

Another that, from other group I have understood about goal orientation influence on motivations and motivation in classroom. Other group also has good creativity when to make their presentation excited. I never minds before that “presidents selection “and “ Musikalisasi Puisi” will be a good concept of presentation about motivations. That was SSE with think out of the box.

So, for the goal orientation I have known the four reason why goal influence the performance such as; direct our attentions, energize our effort, increase persistence and promote the development of new knowledge and strategies. Actually I still confused to differences the means of mastery goal and perform goal, both of that said related with performance. In addition, the topic about motivations in classroom that have presented with poem and story I just found that the students in classroom has different characteristic and teacher should aware with that. That is my reflection for this week. How about you?
