Part I.
1. Preface
Reason for selection of the topic

Education is an essential tool for achieving sustainability. People around the

world recognize that current economic development trends are not sustainable and that

public awareness, education, and training are key to moving society toward sustainability.

Beyond that, there is little agreement. People argue about the meaning of sustainable

development and whether or not it is attainable. They have different visions of what

sustainable societies will look like and how they will function. These same people

wonder why educators have not moved more quickly to develop education for

sustainability (EfS) programs. The lack of agreement and definition has stymied efforts

to move Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) forward.

It is curious to note that while we have difficulty envisioning a sustainable world,

we have no difficulty identifying what is unsustainable in our societies. We can rapidly

create a laundry list of problems - inefficient use of energy, lack of water conservation,

increased pollution, abuses of human rights, overuse of personal transportation,

consumerism, etc. But we should not chide ourselves because we lack a clear definition

of sustainability. Indeed, man has truly great concepts of the human worldamong them
democracy and justice are hard to define and have multiple expressions in cultures

around the world.

Even though Malaysia & Korea are far away from each other, but ESD are

relevant to any country in the world under Global Citizenship. So teaching students about

culture and compare with Malaysia setting make it more relevant and infuse in their

culture life will make them much more realize about their culture. An important

distinction is the difference between education about sustainable development and

education for sustainable development. The first is an awareness lesson or theoretical

discussion. The second is the use of education as a tool to achieve sustainability. In our

opinion, more than a theoretical discussion is needed at this critical juncture in time.

While some people argue that "for" indicates indoctrination, we think "for" indicates a

purpose. All education serves a purpose or society would not invest in it. Driver education,

for example, seeks to make our roads safer for travelers. Fire-safety education seeks to

prevent fires and tragic loss of lives and property. ESD promises to make the world more

livable for this and future generations. Of course, a few will abuse or distort ESD and

turn it into indoctrination. This would be antithetical to the nature of ESD, which, in fact,

calls for giving people knowledge and skills for lifelong learning to help them find new

solutions to their environmental, economic, and social issues.

 Contexts of the selected topic in the host school and local community

2. Pre-class diagnosis

Methods to measure students awareness of the topic

The first time I step foot into this school, immediately we were assigned to the class and

received our timetable. And since we have to teach all Grade 3 and 4 students (15 Class)

and every week we have different timetables for different class and different purpose. And

during 2 week, we have English Class, Cultural Class & Observation simultaneously. So

basically the topic for our lesson is ever-changing and the only way to evaluate the students

awareness about the topic is by asking question and see the number of response. After

counting the number of students, I will generate question that will lead to the critical

thinking and also cultivate their previous knowledge regarding the topic matter. In some

case where students are very weak in English, media such as video, pictures are much

needed to trigger the students attention towards the lesson.

From the survey we can see the most of the students find that the lesson interesting. And also

some of the materials used in in this class increased the students interest towards my home

country. They are all very excited to learn the Wau Bule Dance and visit Malaysia in the future.

However 8% students think that I did not used different effective teaching methods that

enhanced their learning. One of the aspect in my classroom, I want the students to be critically

think out of the box. So higher order thinking skills is require to lead them to the process. 100%

students agree that my lesson challenge them to think creatively. Furthermore, it also improve

their problem solving skills when they were asked to write the Wau Bule lyrics in the worksheet

given to them.

3. Comments and suggestions

Reflections on the lesson process and students attitude
I genuinely believe that teaching in elementary school is quite similar to my students back

in Malaysia. My reflection can be divided into several parts which are preparation,

students behavior and also final products. Preparation for this lesson is a bit crucial as it

was 40 minutes lesson and open class for officers from Sejong Education Department and

Ministry Of Education Korea. Ive discuss with my mentor teacher about the lesson and

we came out with the Wau Bule lesson plan. There is one part of this lesson whereby the

students must make performance in small group on the Wau Bule Dance movements.

Students behavior was absolutely amazing. I was so happy and relieves as the students

gave full cooperation towards the lesson. We did not rehearse this lesson even though we

knew that we are going to be observed. The students seem to enjoy the lesson. There were

videos of Wau Bule performances of the students that we use during the lesson and all

video were perfect for the lesson. Each video represent the point that we want to make in

the activity. Students are not just well behaved, they manage to complete the entire task

related to Wau Bule Dance and its lyrics. At the end of the lesson, students manage to

instill good moral values and realize the importance of cooperation of teamwork among

themselves in each group and why it is important to cooperate to each other. Lastly, the

final product for this lesson is Wau Bule Dance performance. As a Grade 4 students, I

aspect them able to do all the basic movemnets of Wau Bule Dance such as the Berkepak

Setempat, Berkepak Maju Undur, Berkepak Tepis Zig-Zig and Susun Benang. Even

though that they cant be as graceful as my dancers in Malaysia, but they try to do it as

best as they can do it. At the end of the class, I danced with my students and they are so

eager and excited to dance with me. I was so happy that the students able to dance the Wau

Bule and sang the song confidently.
