: Raja Norhamizah binti Raja Norman : TESL 2 Sem 1 : 125230 Reflection

Alhamdulillah and thanks to Allah and everyone who has help me and my partner, Nur Fatin Nabilah binti Mohd Nazir to finish the task given by our Child Development lecturer on the last 28th February 2013 entitled the research on the language development of human. In order to finish this research, all of us have been asked to go to any primary school for our School-Based Experience program from 31st March 2013 until 4th April 2013. As this is a part of the syllabus for this semester, all of the semester One students in IPGM throughout the whole Malaysia are compulsory to do so. As for me, I have chosen to do my SBE at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kampong Raja which is located in Besut, Terengganu. I choose this school because it is convenient for me to go there as it is just a stone throw away from my house which is also situated in the same district. Besides that, I can just use my own car to drive there and can ease my mother from sending me there and fetch me after the school session ends. Besides that, throughout the days when I was there, the cooperation between the teachers and students had eased my task. They are very friendly and smile frequently to me though they have never met with me before. I do think that the teachers there are very talkative and hardworking. The staffroom is seldom full because all of them have classes to teach. However, they still have time to talk with me and give me some information about the school and about the behaviour of their students in class. They also share with me some ways to teach during the process of learning and teaching (PNP). On top of that, I also figure out some weaknesses along my days there. As I need to examine the students from the remedial class, it has been difficult for me because all the students for the remedial are not from the same class. They are from different classes who gather together when it is the time for them to learn the Malay subject. This thing has influenced my work because I cannot focus on the student chosen. Fortunately, the teacher for the remedial class has shared with me some of the information about his student.

Another problem that I have faced in order to finish this task is the parents of the pupil that I have chosen for my case study do not give their full information in the students file which should be completed at the early of the school year. Furthermore, some of the students parents do not even know about their childrens development in school. They do not even care about what have happened with their children. I learn that as parents, they should take a good care of their children including to know about their education and their development in school as this is their responsibility which they must do. I did my SBE there alone as all my friends are doing the SBE at their own primary school before. Hence, it makes me feel so alone and lost. On the first day, I do not even know what to do until some practicum teachers from IPG Sultan Mizan help me with the task given by the Child Developments lecturer. I make new friends but still I do think that I must do my SBE in a group or even only with a friend so that we can help each other to finish the project. In conclusion, people should learn how to cooperate with others successfully as cooperation is one of the values which are very important today. Without cooperation, works cannot be done on the right track and everything cannot be settled on the fixed time. Besides that, parents should take a good care of their children even about the slightest thing because children are still their responsibilities. Thank you to the lecturer who guides me and my partner a lot in order to finish our project, Madam Rafidah binti Aziz and all my friends.
