My Adventure At Global Prestasi School

On the week 5 of study at Sampoerna School of Education, I got my first project to observe about Problem Based Learning for Educational Psychology subject. I was placed in the Global Prestasi School in Bekasi. Exactly on October 17, 2011, I have to arrive there before 7 am, of course it made me have to get up earlier because I would have stuck on traffic. I was not alone there, I and my seven friends were also placed there such as Yunira, Majid, Heri, Ruth, Putera, Nizar and Dinny. It is “The Great School” that I ever see, it was the first perception that come to mind. I was lucky to observe GPS.

It was the first experience that made ​​me quite nervous and this was also my first experience being a leader. On the first day, Mrs. Yannik as lecturer mentors was annoyed because two of my friends came late, but fortunately the school was not being angry over this tardiness. I observed in 1C class, I started by introducing myself and I did not forget to ask for permission to observe. I sat beside Caca, I felt happy to know her. The lesson began with a reflection and forwarded to pray, I was surprised when I heard they prayed by utilize English. I thought international programs only implemented in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class but also  in 1st class they were required to speak English. Waow,  it was cool. Facilities provided for the learning process there was also very good, they have a projector and a computer to operate and to support student’s learning. They use the facilities for watching a video or read a story. The class was crowded, they were very attractive and excited in their lessons. During the first day I came there, they saw me like a stranger. I was smile to them but they only saw me without smiling me back. At second day, they began recognize me, they asked what was I doing in their school, how long I was there, etc. Every day in the end of observed time, we hold a meeting to evaluate the results of observed we got. We told funny things that happened in the classroom e.g. my student interested with my picture that I drew in paper, see later they drew picture like my picture. After that I felt more closer with them so that they were not be shy again with me but some of us were surprised by the attitude of the teacher who was fierce. In there, I also interviewed with teachers who I observed. They were very friendly so that they made me comfort with them. But I felt a bit bored, because I could not interact directly with the student, I just observed and repeated this activity every day. On the seventh day, I helped Ruth to took a photo with the students who her observed, I saw their smiles in the photo made me happy.

I think methods and bilingual program that used in the process learning, made their student happy and gave good impact for them. I felt very sad because I must separated with them. My lecturer fetched us in last day of observed, she came at 10.30 am and then we went to principal room to said thanks. The principal was very good and she was pleased for our arrival. In order to maximalist students learning, we have to cover students’ need before.
