Tarikh Peristiwa/Kejadian : 11-15 Ogos 2014 Tajuk Jurnal : Time management during lessons
1. Problem This has been my fourth week being a teacher in SK Wira Jaya and I have to say that I have gotten more comfortable with the school, or the class that I am teaching to be exact. The problem that I am facing now is that sometimes I get to comfortable with my pupils as both me and my pupils enjoyed the lessons, I tend to be a bit off in terms of time management. What happen was I get too carried away with my pupils; hence, the problem of spending too much time on certain stage of the lesson happened. There was little time left for closure, leading to no closures at all during some lessons.
2. Analysis of Problem I think that it is clear to why this problem occur: I. I got too comfortable with the pupils II. Lack of time awareness III. Easily get carried away with the lesson and my pupils
3. Suggestions for Further Actions/Improvements I have come up with some suggestions that can hopefully eradicate this problem which are, firstly, to have a firm stand with the pupils. Yes sometimes it is fun dealing with the pupils especially when the lesson goes really well, but I have to make a firm stand that this has to end because there are other stages that have not finished. Second, I need to consistently be aware of the time. I have to look at my watch time to time so that I would not get carried. Lastly, need to set limits for myself so that even when the lesson is enjoyable, there has to be an end.
