From the Kg Ayer field trip that I had on the last Saturday, I have learned the trip would be useful for students’ learning in the future, particularly for Social Studies and History students. Teachers play an important role in ensuring the field trip to run smoothly and meaningful for their learning experience, one by providing students with good reading materials and risk assessment beforehand. This reflective essay will talk about my experience and how Kg Ayer field trip would be useful for…

A Candle In My Heart. “A Candle In My Heart” is based of some true stories, which became known to me in my years as a Primary School Teacher. I wanted to share this so that others could look to the candle in their own hearts. It is a story of courage and perseverance in the face of a very un-ideal life. It can be used as a teaching tool for any grade to broach a difficult subject, that of child-abuse. Children in that situation will have a much different response to the story, which is not…

“Early nineteenth century adults looked on childhood almost entirely as a time of preparation for adult life.” (MacLeod, 1992). When it comes to reading books, children usually choose what is based on their age and interests, whether they are girls or boys. Children read books differently, however writers don’t actually write books that are made to be read by only girls or only boys. It is important to know how books are seen from different sides and perspectives. In the nineteenth century,…

Socialization may be one of the important practices in our everyday lives. It may help people learn and adopt new ethics and knowledge. It may also not just be about interacting with people and participating in different activities, but may also be about how to adjust oneself in a new environment.

Reflection on Results of Mathematics Competency Test and Mathematics Disposition Surveys. I have always enjoyed mathematics. My positive attitude towards this subject stems from both my ability to achieve good results and understanding why mathematics is an important part of life, which means that my education in this subject was successful since the aim of education is to “equip students for their lives outside school” (Kemp & Hogan, 2000, p. 5). This also ties in with “understanding the role…

makes reveals their true character. In the novel Sophie's World the author Jostein Gaarder writes about a person's capability to choose how they want to exist in this world. The plot of the novel is based on the main protagonist, Sophie Amundsen’s educational expedition through a strange correspondence course in philosophy. However, it is evident through the author’s writing and opinions portrayed, that the overall purpose of the novel is much more than to solely teach his readers about…

This class led me to realise thats it’s not just what you teach but how you teach that is effective to students. This can be done by learning dimensions. The first learning dimension is knowledge. I will first start the class with simple questions to see how much the kids know or do not know. As the educator, I will be trying to communicate key concepts so students can gain the knowledge. The second learning dimension is skills, skills such as listening so students can take a critical…

School is said to be the place where we develop our self and to socialize and communicate with other people. It is said that it’s a place where all good happens and where the children learns to mold themselves into something that they want to be. But that’s not the only thing that school gives us. It give us not only knowledge but also physical and mental problems. Besides from the never ending homework’s and boring lessons, School is also a battlefield. School cannot be always a luxury,…
