Teaching Methods

Here we are, I will tell you about the method of teaching that I use. As we know that teaching methods are a way for teachers to explain lessons to students as efficiently as possible so that the students' understanding of the teacher's explanation can increase. The methods in Philippines elementary school based on questions, teachers accompany students' opinions with questions so they can find the right answers based on their own thoughts. This is certainly very influential in the results of learning achievement of students later, because it makes students become more active and independent. also the teacher gives reinvorment to the results of student achievement such as giving rewards, giving praise, and many other things. So we can conclude that the method used is student-centered.

Learning Materials and Inovation

Like other schools, The materials based on subject. Teacher can add other materials like pictures, charts, videos, story telling, etc. For innovation, the teacher uses qeustions and cooperative learning. The most striking difference we feel is in writing some subject meanings or explaining something. In Indonesia we are used to writing it on the blackboard, but, when in the Philippines it was considered a wasting time so we should put it in Instructional Materials. This is clearly reasonable, because in Indonesia we are accustomed to more than being given a long enough time in explaining the concept of certain things.

Sources of Learning and Technology

For sources of learning the teachers at PSU LIS-Elementary using from K-12 curriculum, and the others sources is from subjects book. Use learning media with technology such as projector, video, etc. In additional can use work sheets.

Authentic Assessment

The foundation of authentic assessment revolves around evaluating a students’ ability to apply what they have learned in the lesson. Authentic assessment to measure students' understanding and to measure teacher learning success. Authentic assessment in the classroom based on my observation are performance assessment, questions-answers, self-assessment, worksheet, observing assesment.
