Observation

Tooth Brushing Activity

Through this SBE, I had gained a lot of knowledge and experience from

this activity.

First of all, this activity will be done by the students in the morning time.

In this activity, students need to follow the rules during brushing their teeth.

There was a school nurse who taught them the ways to brush their tooth as

well. The school nurse will took out a large demonstration model set of teeth,

a large toothbrush, and dental floss, so that the students can know the steps

of brushing tooth. Besides that, it will develop the habits of brushing tooth in

their daily lives instead of having a clean and fresh tooth.

Their responsibility is to provide nursing care and health counseling to

students and staff, a community that includes those with chronic illnesses,

disabilities and mental health conditions such as ADHD and autism spectrum

disorders.

Teaching and learning lesson

I was given the opportunity to follow Madam Wong who taught the

subject of English Language. The class that I entered was year 1. Based on

my observation, I have found out that Madam Wong has used some of the

teaching aids like paper which has the words and pictures on it. By using it,

she taught the students to pronounce the word and she explained the

meaning of the words to them. She also asked the students to match the

pictures with the words. Besides that, I found that the students were having

difficulties in spelling and annunciating vocabularies. I thought teacher could

make use of phonics, the simple but fundamental knowledge in order to make

both the teaching and learning more effective.

In addition, I have noticed on how Madam Wong handles the whole

class, when to ask questions and how to handle the students who have

different characters. From my observation, some of the students are very

active whilst some of them are reserved. As a result, different methods of

handlings are carried out to each different student.

From this experience, I have learnt that all the techniques and teaching

aids are very helpful in the process of teaching and learning. Students can

understand easily and the props help the process of teaching and learning

easier and smoother.

3.3 Interviews

I have done the interviews with a number of key people in this school

which are the headmaster, senior assistants such as PK 1, PK HEM, teachers

and student. After done my interviews with them, I have learnt many useful

things about the roles of them in this school and the importance of the

administration of them.

From these interviews, the ways of interactions with them are

concerned. The skills of communicating with them are very important as it is

how they will have the impression on us. If we do not communicate well with

others, eventually others will not communicate well with us. What I have

gained from this is like how we use the proper language or words when

speaking with someone who is much respected. We should always focus and

concentrate when they answer the questions that we ask.

Last but not least, interviews also can identify the attitude and the mind

of the person we interview. For example, if the person whom we interview

speaks a lot, we can know that he or she is not a reserved type of person. If a

person speaks well, we can also know the level of education of the person

too. Usually, people who are well educated speak in a language that is deep

and their voice tone is much better than people who are not educated.

Through interview, we can get know the scope of them as below:

3.2 Checklist

I have also gained some new knowledge from the way of checklist. This

is because the checklist which is provided from each different aspect from the

structure and administration of the school are counted to ensure the surveys

are much more easier to be conducted. Furthermore, this checklist also acts

as a reference for us to ensure there is no mistake or shortage of information.

The key to effectively using a checklist is creating a list method that works for

us. The reason why checklists are good is simple and it is easy for us to remember the things. When you do something that involved multiple steps, it

is likely that you would forget one or two of them. We need to use checklists ensures that we won’t forget anything.

Besides that, checklists put everything I need to do right in front of me. I can see

the beginning, middle and end of what needs to be done. Though this helps some

people tackle tasks in front of them, it can also be distracting. If you are the type who

prefers to take things one step at a time, you might feel overwhelmed by a checklist.

Detail-oriented people might struggle with a large collection of items, while big-picture

people might excel using a checklist.

In a nutshell, checklists organize what needs to be accomplished so nothing is

forgotten. Detail-oriented people might enjoy having a definite path through their day.

Creating a checklist in the morning gives your day direction. However, organizing a

checklist might be too time-consuming. Some people get caught up in the details of

the list when they should have been focused on actual work. If you find yourself too

focused on list-making, try accomplishing a few of the tasks and then return to

creating the list.
