Assalamualaikum and hi!
Pathetically, now I would say that the six years was just a short period of time to complete my studies. Though at the beginning we were all whining and hoped everything would come to an end as soon as possible, now? I hope I can be in the lecture hall again!
Nevertheless, if I haven't been in school, I wouldn't know the real problems that are happening. For instance, through out the six years, my friends and I were so excited developing all sorts of modules which we believed would be useful to teacher in school. Yet in the end, as we, ourselves are all in school facing the real world, real problems, most of us see the modules as 30% useful rather than what we see as 'tremendous' work of art, when handed them to the lecturers. huhu. (we thought we were good).
One major problem that is bothering me right now is ' how to teach reading to remedial children'.... as a class.
I did take a course on Teaching of Reading but things seems to be out of hand when I still can't find the right way to make my pupils (the remedial ones) able to read. I know that its only been 3 weeks, but I'm just not satisfied when realizing that I,myself, am unsure of the techniques of teaching reading. Perhaps I'm not even sure of how to teach the remedials.
I've been doing some reading lately. In assurance that I'm on the right track. Taking others experience as my reference and finding ideas to develop my skills of teaching. Though my days were a bit gloomy when thinking of the problems that I face, an author chilled me a bit when I came across his words which says " there's no one right way of teaching. a professional teacher will always find a way to adapt to his/her students abilities".
Not saying that I'm a professional...but I guess I'm working towards it. =)
Owh, its the climb (qoop.com).
