Reflection 1 ( Pedagogy )

Hello beautiful people ! How is your day ?

     Its been a long time since i did not update my blog since i got some problem with the account. But, fortunately its just for a while. Oh yes ! Actually few weeks ago, i learnt something new in my Pedagogy class and i found it was interesting to be shared to all especially for those who are passionate in education course.

  I am excited ! Wuhuu ~ ~ ~

      Okay. Here we go.  Do you guys know that actually there are 3 types of School of Thoughts ? First is Behaviorist school of thought which mean students follow or imitate the teacher's behavior. And based on my experience during primary school, this is one of the most popular way used by the teacher to teach.

     So, how about Cognitive school of thought? As the word 'cognitive' is there so i am sure that some of you can guess that it is something related to brain. BINGO ! You guys are so smart. Correct, cognitive school of thought is focus more on brain development of the students.



    And the last one is Humanistic school of thought. For this kind school of thought, teachers are playing another role apart of teaching which is being the student's friend, family and a good partner. Or in other word we can say the teacher empathy for the student. Always put yourself in student's shoes so that we can understand them better.

   If i am an English teacher, i would choose to apply Behaviorist school of thought because i think it is suitable for the subject. Why i think so ? Okay, things are become more interesting to be discussed and don't you think it sound more serious now ? Teacher Arina is trying hard to be strict and hope all 'students' are still interested to finish reading. Huhu

  Back to the topic. Behaviorist school of thought is suitable for English subject is because in this subject, students will learn more by follow the teacher's instruction because it is too fixed for certain topic such as learning the grammar.

   Not just that, students will be motivated more to study because in cognitive school of thought there are punish and reward system which mean students will get 'something' for everything they did. If they did good, then they will get reward and if they did bad, they will be punished.





   But, i also believe that actually a school of thought can't stand alone. A mixture of those 2 or 3 school of thought will be more effective to be applied. Just an example, using mixture of Behaviorist and Humanistic school of thought to teach English would be fantastic especially for low proficiency students, they might need our help more than other students and here is where Humanistic should be applied.


   For Humanistic part, we as a good teachers should acknowledge the ability of our students and find a way on how to make them feel that actually English is fun. It is not an easy thing for some students to learn new language and maybe some of them have no basic knowledge about the language especially for those who live in rural area.

   As a conclusion for my statement all above, i would like to combine Behaviorist and Humanistic School of thought because i found that this combination is perfect and suitable for the subject matter that i will teach.


   Grrrr..! I have many more to share but seem like my stomach did not cooperate well.  Why not we have some lunch first and next time i will come with more interesting topic to be discussed. See you soon lovelies. Hope this sharing bring some benefits to all. Nah, let's share some pizza together.
