1.1. School Profile

West visayas state university (WVSU) was founded on june 16th 1902 as part of the early philippine normal school system under the american occupation.

Known as the Iloilo normal institute and later the Iloilo Normal school, WVSU was one of the five tributary schools created to address the need to train Filipino teachers under the tutelage of the Thomasites in 1916, it was a secondary school and Iloilo high school complete with elemantary and training departments. In 1924, with the completion of its main building, now to be Quezon Hall and laboratory school building. In 1954, the bachelor of science in education major in elementary was offered, pioneering teacher-training institution in western visayas. It was named a center of excellence (1994) by the late sen. Blas P. Ople and center of excellence for teacher education (1995) by the commission on higher education (CHED).

The INS became the West Visayas State College by virtue of R.A. 4189 in 1965, and commenced the offering of the Bachelor of Science in Education for Elementary and Secondary teaching. Bachelor of Arts; and Master’s in Education. It was in the same year when the Graduate School and the School of Arts and Sciences were in place. The Secondary Laboratory School was opened in 1969. In September 1972, RA 6596 authorized the offering of University level courses in education, arts and sciences. The period from 1974, its Golden Jubilee year to the early 1980s was one of marked growth, witnessing the establishment of the School of Medicine (1 975), School of’ Agriculture (1976), and School of Nursing (1977). The doctoral program of the Graduate School was likewise, introduced in 1977. The B.S. Biological Science, AS Mass Communications, and B. S. Forestry programs took off in 1981. On January 27, 1986, PD. 2019 converted the College into the West Visayas State University, integrating the Iloilo National College of Agriculture (INCA) into its system. In 1987, the University acquired the Don Benito V. Lopez Memorial Hospital, which became the WVSU Hospital, a 150-bed tertiary, teaching and training hospital. The University further established in 1993, the Physical Education, Sports, Culture and Recreation Center which later became the degree-granting PESCAR Institute and later College of PESCAR in 2000. Strict observance of the trilogy of functions became evident in the University as early as 1986, when the Office of Research and Non-Formal Education was established followed by the Office of Extension in 1988. In 1993, the Department of Mass Communications became the degree granting Institute of Mass Communications, which was later converted into a College in 2000. The Diamond Jubilee in 1999 was ushered in by the offering of more academic programs: the Bachelor in Cooperatives Management (1997) and the Bachelor of Science in Information Management and Bachelor of Science in In formation Technology (1998). In 2000, the Higher Education Modernization Act (1997) integrated into the University four CHED supervised schools in Calinog, Janiuay, Lambunao, and Pototan. In 2001, the WVSU Board of Regents and the Department of Health (DOH) approved the conversion of the hospital to a 300-bed WVSU Medical Center that it is today. Likewise, in 2001, the Bachelor in Statistics and Research program was introduced. The University Distance Education program through the Diploma in Teaching (DlT) course began in Summer 2003. By the first semester of 2003 four new courses were commenced: Bachelor/n Hotel and Restaurant Management, Bachelor in Broadcasting, Bachelor in Journalism, and Bachelor of Science in Development Communication. In 2004, the University instituted its Verticalization Scheme in academic programs through the operations of the graduate schools in the College of Education and the College of Arts & Sciences.

1.3. Teaching System

Teaching system in Integrated Laboratory School WVSU uses English in delivering the lesson. English as their second language. Therefore, mostly the student can understand what the teacher explained in english.

1.4. Materials and Other Learning Resources

This elementary school has so many learning sources such as books as their references, they have enough space for 50 more students in the class including the teacher’s desk, they have 3 fans in the class, speaker, microphone, LCD, black board, book shelfs, etc.

1.5. Measurement and Evaluation System

This elementary school has 4 times examinations in a year. The other hand they also have quiz, evaluation, and assignment. The teacher can get and accumulate their score from those excercises. Usually the teacher gives it after explained the material everyday.

1.6. Curriculum

The education system in Philippines is using curriculum K12 as their escort in the school. That is stated from the government of Department of Philippines Education.

1.7. Teaching Plan

Based on the observation, I used two kinds of lesson plan. Such as, semi detailed lesson plan and detailed lesson plan. For the semi detailed lesson plan, we don’t need to write all of the assumption or the detailed responses between teacher and students. We need to write the general and also the sub material only. Different with the detailed lesson plan, here we have to write all of the detailed responses between teacher and students who will be expected.

Pedagogical Content

1.1. Teaching Method

Teaching method that they use is based on the topic of the lesson itself. For example I often used disscussion group for making good cooperation between the one student to other students. It is good for students who have the introvert characters because the students must have interactions to each other. Then actually still many more methods that i used to make the atmosphere will be good in the class and also to increase the critical thinking of the students itself.

1.2. Learning Material and Innovation

For the material and innovation the teachers usually use cartolina, manila paper, and also sometimes teachers use LCD, projector, and speaker to deliver their topic of lessons.

1.3. Sources of Learning and Technology

The teachers use the references from the Departement of Education of Philippines. They will teach by books that are given from the departement. For the technology, this school has media such as LCD, speaker, laptop, and microphone.

1.4. Authentic Assesment

The teacher can get and accumulate their score from quiz, evaluation, and assignment. Usually the teacher gives it after explained the material everyday.

Teaching Plan

1.1. Curriculum

WVSU Integrated laboratory school used the K-12 curriculum given by education departement of the Philippine

1.2. Teaching Plan Related to your Major

I taught English lesson. So, i got topics before teaching the students in grade 4 and grade 6 based on Essential English book but honestly before I taught I have to observe in the class first.

Observation on Teachers

1.1. Planning for Teaching

Before teaching, I have advisory teacher and buddies who can tell me about the structure of the lesson plan. They told me about the semi detailed and detailed of lesson plan. Usually, my advisory teacher, Ma’am Hazel Falcis revised my lesson plan first before I taught the students.

1.2. Preparing Lessons and Materials

I also got the schedule and the topics before teaching individually or being team teaching. This is the schedule and topics for teaching grade sixth and grade fourth :

3.1. Teaching in The Class

When I observed in the grade fourth and grade sixth classes. I saw that mostly the students were active in the class. The teacher should be able in handling the students especially their noisy and spoiled character. I think it was still normal for their ages in the elementary school. So, in this case teachers had to provide many learning methods for students during in the class. Because teacher had to combine the learning methods so that they weren’t bored with the lesson and they can give their attention to the teacher and lesson itself.

When I taught the lesson, I had to remember the names of students in grade fourth and grade sixth because it worked to make them felt being appreciated. My advisory teacher gave me their names before i taught. Eventhough i can’t remember for whole students in both of classes.

The teachers mostly make games that related with their topics for taking the student’s attention and cooperation.

3.2. Measurement and Evaluation

Based on the interviews with the teacher,which was known that they had some kinds of examinations such as examination that be held every quarter in the year and also National Achievement Test for grade sixth before they pass their study to the higher level.

Teaching Practice

1.1. Procedures of Teaching

Before teaching, we must make a lesson plan first. Then give the lesson plan to the advisory teacher and consult about that lesson plan. The advisory teacher can give you suggestions and you have to revise if there’s an unsuitable in our lesson plan. Actually there are many differences between Indonesia’s lesson plan and Philippine’s lesson plan, especially for the format of lesson plan. In Indonesia we just need to write the general or just the structure of the lesson plan, and we need to see the syllabus to see the core competence and basic competence. Meanwhile, in Philippine’s lesson plan format we dont need to write the core competence and also the basic competence but we have to write more detailed explanations about our planning in the lesson plan.

1.2. Time Management and Organizing Activities

In the elementary school mostly spent 1 hour to deliver the lesson everyday. We took 5-10 minutes for the opening. In the opening we have to give them the drill, review for the previous topic and also give them the motivation. For the main activity, we took 35-40 minutes because we have to input the application and evaluation. For the closing we took 10-15 minutes while showing the short good bye video then they submitted their quiz note books. Actually all of the timing depends on the topic of lesson that will be given for the Students.

1.3. Problem-solving

The big problem in grade 4 and grade 6 is the noisy. In this case the teacher has to find the inovative and effective ways to make the student want to hear and give the attention to the teacher. The student can give their attention when the teacher gave them some games that they can feel fun. Beside that, the student teachers usually give the conventional way as the teaching media to deliver their material in the class, such as using many cartolina papers or manila papers to show or explain the material and also still use chalk and blackboard. Meanwhile in indonesia we usually use power point then put the material and some visual videos there instantly. So, that’s why for the first time I feel a little bit feel difficult to write my material on the cartolina paper but when I had been there for 2 weeks I can write my material well on the cartolina paper well enough and I usually combined the teaching media with the powerpoint and also with cartolina paper.

1.4. Evaluation

I think when I taught in West Visayas State University Integrated Laboratory School I can get more knowledges, I can be more creative and also innovative. Because actually eventhough mostly people in this era especially in Indonesia use instant way as the teaching media actually It can be better if we also be able and creative in using conventional media.

Summary and Suggestions

1.1. Purposes of Practicum

The purpose of the practicum are to teach the Students from different country, to share our knowledge, to know their culture and their habits, to make our relationship between Indonesia and Philippines become closer. The other is to combine and compare our education system between Indonesia and Philippines, so that we can apply the education system each other.

1.2. Procedures of Practicum

There are 4 weeks for teaching practice in WVSU Integrated Laboratory School and they divided into 4 steps to teach the students there are orientation, observation, teaching assistant, teaching individually , evaluation and reflection.There are some procedures of taching practice to the Students in the Elementary School. before we started our teaching practice, we should finish our lesson plan, then we consult to the teacher. After that the advisory teacher revised our lesson plan, then I was allowed to teach in the classroom.

1.3. Outcomes of Practicum

We know the differences of education system between Indonesia and Philippine.

we can learn many things from this project so we can develop our education system in Indonesia. We can be more creative, we can improve our English skill, and The Student teachers can integrate and colaborate the education system between two country to be better education system for the future.

1.4. The Challenges of Practicum

I think the challenges are I have to handle 56 students in each class and difficult to make them learned in the class without being noisy, Then the format of the lesson plan itself is really different. So, I have to learn it first, and the last is the teaching media which used the conventional media.

1.5. Overall Impression

I really amazed because people around me were really friendly and really respect to each other. I also amazed because mostly people in there able to speak English fluently.

1.6. Suggestion for Future Improvement

For SEAMEO : Hopefully this program can be continued, can be more challenging, and keep making good cooperation between the ASEAN countries through this program. Then the more important thing is hopefully this program can be financed by the SEAMEO for the whole accomodations except individual needs.

For WVSU Integrated Laboratory School : It will be better if the teacher can combine the conventional and also the modern teaching media. Because if we just rely on the conventional way like writing on the paper as the slides for explaning, It will spend a lot of money and time. I think the good impact is the teacher can be creative and then can keep teaching eventhough in electricity went out but it will be more complete if the teacher can follow the modern era like using visual video, quiz using website or more.
