Essay

I was assigned to lead a School Based Experience (SBE) for one week
beginning on 1st April 2013 until 4th April 2013. This is first School Based Experience
(SBE) for me as a student teacher. For School Based Experience (SBE), I can choose
any primary school that I want to attend to lead this program and I have chosen the
Sekolah Kebangsaan Convent Father Barre which located in Kedah. I have chosen this
school as a place for me to go for this school because its located at my hometown and
near to my house. During SBE, I was not alone as trainees because there are 4 trainees
from other IPGMs undergo with me.

While performing SBE in school, I was asked to make observation of the school
organization and the facilities available at the school. My observation on school
organization, I found that the structure of organization starts with headmasters. The
headmaster is assisted by senior assistant teachers. Every person in the school
organization has a job and their own role. Headmistress job is as a supervisor and
regulator policies and objectives of the school which founded and coordinated policies
and objectives from the Ministry of Education and also the State Education. Besides
that, she also need to determine the school goals, plan and implement teaching and
learning curriculum, lesson plans, timetables and so on. The duty of senior assistant
academic is to assist teachers in curriculum management, daily administration and
others.
On my first day of SBE, I have observed the library. In the school library, the
school administration provided daily day newspaper in various languages. Besides that,
there are also many books that divided into new version. The book that provided for the
students was very useful. However, there are also some shortcomings in the library
which is space in the library are very small and cramped and not enough tables and
chairs. One suggestion to improve the school library is to provide a space with chairs
and tables sufficient to enable the students can do their work while in the library. Other
facilities are available in the school is canteen. One of the benefits of the availability of
canteen is that it can provide food to school children. In addition, the price of food
offered is also very affordable. The area around the canteen is very clean. Canteen
management also provides a place for the students to put the glasses and plates which
have their use. However, the number of tables and chairs was not enough for the
students to enjoy their food and food sold also unhealthy. Therefore, in my opinion, the
canteen management should increase the number of tables and chairs so that students
do not rush to get somewhere and add nutritious meals to students. The staffroom are
quite small and there are alot of teachers who do not have table to sit and do not have
an appearing condition and not conducive. The staffroom should be well organized so
the teachers will be comfortable to do their works. In my opinion, add on more tables
and chairs for teachers to do their works. Besides that, the teachers also can decorate
their own staffroom to look more attractive. I have also observed the use of ICT in
science laboratory. In the laboratory, there are teachers who are observing the gestures
of the students. Moreover, the laboratory can only accommodate 30 to 40 students for a
session. Equipment in the laboratory is also inadequate and dusty.

In conclusion, I feel very happy to be given the opportunity to perform SBE.

Besides that, I also felt like this experience with my huddle with teachers and pupils of
the school.
