Wrapping up the programme

Wrapping up the programme

To wrap  up this programme at Haaga Helia University which started in April, 2012 and continued for 12 weeks I want to say that the programme in general was good. In addition, I can say that we benefited from it and we learned some important educational and vocational information regarding teaching and learning methods and tasks. We also found the arranged visits to some schools ,institutes and places were very beneficial. In fact, I can say that the goals of the programme had been successfully match.

The programme started with orientation that included the following:  welcoming the participants, some practical information, programme connections to TVTC strategy, the pedagogical principles and working methods and introduction to vocational pedagogy. We learnt some important facts and practical information about: social media, teaching and learning, students with special needs, collaborative methods, on the job learning practice, assessment of learning and making shadowing. In addition we learnt some principles of teaching practice and practically we had preformed lessons in teams. Also during the 12 weeks we made some important and useful visits and excursions such as city tour in the 2^nd week, excursion to Porvoo in the 4^th week, trip to Vierumaki and Jyvaskyla, trip to luukki National Park and visit to a company.

To conclude, I can say that during this programme I have learnt many important things and in my opinion, I think the programme instructors did well. I liked very much the way of teaching as a team, methods of collaborative learning they implemented in their classes, ice breaking and wrapping up the lesson that some instructors used. Finally, I would like to say thank you to instructors, to colleagues and to anyone who facilitated our affairs in this programme    

       

My teaching practice special reflection

 My teaching practice session with my colleagues, in the ocean team, was a first successful trial and I appreciated its valuable outcomes. In fact, teaching for the first time as in a team is not so easy for all of us, and we actually faced some difficulties at the beginning but we could overcome them with the help of David and Irmeli. They both contributed some important instructions and advice and they facilitated our job by arranging for some materials and offering some teaching aids such as flash card and coping papers that we actually needed.

First step of our teaching practice started with the counselling session by David. We discussed with him what our lesson would be about, what skills that we might cover, teaching activities that could help for performing the lesson in a good way. Then, the members of the them gathered and selected the lesson topic which was ''The Most dangerous animal in the world'' about 'mosquito'. The 4 members of the ocean team shared the roles of the teaching practice lesson and each one knew his role. We started our lesson with exploring the lesson goals and some important instructins  by our colleague Mr. Alturki, then Mr. Abdulrahman presented a video about the 10 most dangerous animals in the world having participants do some tasks. Then, I presented the reading part which was a passage about the most dangerous animal. Before reading the passage silently, I discussed with the participants the types of reading and some pre-reading techniques. Then, I tried to have them practice the pre-reading technique but there had been an organizing mistake happened during disrupting papers to participants. Unfortunately, I think one of our teaching goals had not been matched. In other words, it is supposed that participants completely practice those important reading techniques in the reading context but that partially happened. After that, Mr. Saeed performed the last teaching step which was the assessment and wrapping up the lesson. Honestly, I feel that the lesson in general was performed  well especially the parts with my colleagues and I also think that there had been many different skills covered such as listening, speaking, reading and writing and they are the most important skills, especially in teaching a language. To be more honestly, I think I should pay attention to my above mentioned mistake and try to avoid its occurring again in my classes. I think the best way for preventing its occurrence, in the future, is by implementing the easiest activity or task.  That means to give each group of students a sheet of paper containing all the paragraph of the passage and discussing them all with students.

During the teaching practice I learnt plenty of significant things such as being patient when dealing with colleagues who will share me teaching, to prepare my lesson well, I learnt many new teaching activities and techniques, adjusting time.

In addition, I think the other groups in the teaching practice were very good and they all did well. I observed a lot of different teaching methods which could contribute to my teaching career and experience. They used many different teaching aids in their teaching times, they motivated participants to have them participate, and they used cooperative teaching methods in their teaching. I think all the groups matched most of their teaching goals in their teaching sessions. I can say that observing peers gives a person a very good opportunity to learn some different teaching techniques and helps him to build his critical thoughts.

WEEK 11REFLECTION

We started week 11 with Irmeli and her important topic which was about students with special needs. In fact it was very important topic and each one needs to know more information about it. I have learned many basic things and I planned to read more about it. In my opinion, this is a very broad topic and it needs more time in the future.

In addition, we spent a very good time with David about his topic organizations and networks. I have learned some important facts. However, also, this topic needs more time and it needs more reading by participants because each one needs it in his job.

On Wednesday,   we spent very nice moments in the national park with Irmeli and her son who has prepared the place and the coffee. After we left our belongs in the tent we hiked the forest looking for  trees, flowers and different sightseeing. Irmeli explained many important facts about the forests in Finland and a historical custom of collecting flowers putting them under the pillow to dream and see your future wife/husband. In fact, I enjoyed that trip but the hiking took most of the time and the time for rest and for making our barbecue was short and I think there is no need for assignment in this moment. Honestly, I appreciate what she did according to her nice personality and her enthusiasm in this programme.

Furthermore, I want to thank the staff of our embassy (the Saudi Arabian embassy in Finland) for their generous invitation on Tuesday. They picked up from the university at 2:00 and took us to the embassy. We spent a very nice time and enjoyed moments we stayed there. We had a very delicious lunch there. Also, we discussed very important things with them. Then, left the place at 5 pm.      

WEEK 10 REFLECTION

WEEK 10 REFLECTION

Here is the reflection of week 10 which was about teaching practice and simulation Pedagogy. Participants had taught as group teams bearing their responsibility for students. This way of teaching was new for all the participants, so they faced many obstacles, such as teaching topic disagreement, lesson preparation for team work and time management during the performance of each participant in his group. However they successfully overcome most of them. That type of activity was very helpful and in my opinion, teaching practice should be regarded as the main outcome of our programme, so I think it would be more beneficial if the teaching practice sessions had taken place many times during the 3 months programme. I enjoyed and benefited observing and participating in teaching practice activity and I learned many important teaching and learning skills and methods. I appreciated all the successful comments and recommendations from my colleagues and observers.

WEEK 9 REFLECTION

During that week there had been various learning activities. Acually, we spent two days with Jari Rantamäki, a presentation about Performance evaluation in educational institutions. Then we spent a very fantastic time in Workshop on mobile learning at Omnia. In fact, I liked this visit very much and I think it was one of the most useful activities in our program, because Omnia was a very organized school and we learned from their presentation many important technological uses and programs of mobile devices that could be very smart and active teaching and learning tools. However, the time was not so enough I wish if the visit was longer than it had been, but I think it would be better if it is taken into concentration to be 3 days or more if it's possible in the future.

Also, during this week we had spent very important moments with Merja and Katri and their teaching sessions were about Developing Vocational Education and Teaching. During that time they divided participants into small groups having each group discuss one teaching methodology, letting one of each group make a presentation about the discussed methodology. In my estimation, I think that way they used was brilliant and very beneficial for students, because this activity covered the most important pionts of our program and it had been targeted as a type of review to the material and information we had learnt many weeks ago. In addition, We had spent a very useful time with David during his guidance and counseling session. That session was about our teaching practice next week, in the group of the ocean team.  That meeting was very useful because he gave us many important advices, answered our enquiries and discussed some important ideas about our team work. In general, it was a good week.

       

    

                                                                             

                                                                                     

WEEK8 REFLECTION

Week 8 is a special week for me in our programme.

First day of the trip, we meet early in the morning and boarded the bus from Helsinki to Vierumäki. There we dropped our luggage at the cottages; there in each cottage 5 persons of our group. The cottages were all the same design and they were very nice. They were well decorated and they had very modern furniture. However, shopping and other services were not convenient. In spite of that, Larse, Ana and Kamal guided us and did their best to make everything easy. In that day I spent very pleasant time and I did a lot of interesting activities such as attending a presentation session about Innovative Ways of Doing Market Research, learning something about golf sport; in fact, I enjoyed playing this sport, but really it was not easy to play, Sauna and swimming (in lake and swimming pool). But unfortunately, I did not participate in this activity, because I do not know swimming. Most participants told me they enjoyed it. I enjoyed the food, the nature and everything there.

Next day, after breakfast, we departed to Jyväskylä at 9:00 and arrived at 11:00. Our arrival was at Scandic Hote. We checked in and went to have lunch. The food was delicious and the service was really good. Then, we attended an Orientation at Jyväskylä Business College  and it was about ; who are they, what are their goals, what does entrepreneur education mean to them, what kind of challenges they meet concerning it. Also, I had learnt some essential points about education in Jyväskylä. Actually, that visit was beneficial and I had learnt some brilliant things; such as I recognized that when  student do more practical activities  through their effort in business makes learning accurate and easy for them, especially if they are   intrinsically interested in vocational learning and in the business they are practicing. After that, we went to the restaurant for dinner and we were met by the restaurant's owner. He took us in a tour to a traditional house that had been built since 200 years as he mentioned. It was very nice house and it contained many beautiful old belongs. Then, we went to the eat our dinner. It was traditional Finish food. Really the food was interesting and very delicious and there they were very generous, smiley and friendly. It was the best meal that I had ever eaten since I came to Finland.

On the third day, we were very busy because we should do some activities and depart the city. After breakfast, we went to Team Academy model at University of Applied Sciences. We had a dialogue there with one gentleman and a lady. They explained to us their school's principles. As they mentioned, each group of students share one business and they work as a team.  To get their certificate, they should run the business and in the same time they should meet the coaches in the school and make dialogues about the business with them for 4 hours at scheduled times. I think this is a very good idea that they learn naturally in the real environment of life. However, I think the risk of losing much money is very high and in the same time, this way of leaning might make them knowledgably weak because of that they do not learn many important subjects such as math and some important languages. In other words, they should be theoretically equipped.

In general the trip was very fantastic and I enjoyed it very much. So, I would say thank you to our 3 guilders and to all people we met in this trip and to my colleagues.

WEEK7 REFLECTION

For the first two days of week 7, we attended with Dr. Katri and Dr. Merja very interesting learning sessions which had been mainly aimed on organizing teaching and learning and Assessment of learning. Both the two teachers worked well and they applied such attractive teaching activities. I liked very much two practical activities that I might strongly apply them on my students. The first one was the ice break activity, when they made students in one line, each student at the back looked at a provided picture and drew it by finger on the back of the front student, and the one on the front imagined the picture and try to draw it on a paper. The second activity was a game that students were given some small papers, containing number of assessment concepts and they were asked to classify them. This activity was interesting but I think its negative side for a teacher, is the difficulty of preparing it and the time it consumes.

On the third day of the same above mentioned week, we met Irmeli and she taught us something about Teaching Practice plans: teams & topics and Teaching Practice plans: tools for planning and implementation.

In fact, the class was very exciting especially the way of worming up, when she put the class into two groups with iPads and asked students in the two groups to make brainstorming using the iPad to add to todysmeet. Also, practicing a teaching template in GoogleDocs was very helpful and could be used in my classes.  

WEEK 6, REFLECTION

The 6^th week was very interesting week because it had many different activities that could add more experience to our educational career.

With Irmeli, we started the week in class and she applied many helpful tasks, about how the content was and what was worth learning represented in the shadowed classrooms, I had learnt some teaching activities that support aspects of the learning cycle, good practical tasks about themes of the gallery run and many other activities that I might use them in my classes. However, I think it would be more worthfull if there had been summary for the key points.

With Eeva, we had learnt some important information about on –the job- learning, she explained some important points about the education in Finland and when on –the job- learning became a compulsory part of Finish vocational Education. Also, we spent a very pleasant time on the two trips to Vallila and to Hotel Kalastajatorppa. We were generously and friendly treated by the staff there in the two sites. Also, one important thing I had noticed there, in the two visits were the nice presentations made by the two female students of Eeva. However, the teaching strategies used in classes by Eeva  about  on –the job- learning and by Mr. Tapio about professional competition were more lecturing and we thought it might be more attractive if they used activities and tasks depends on interaction, and I think they could do better.

WEEK 5, REFLECTION

In week 5, the most prominent activities were a Trip to HAGA-HELIA Haaga campus, Pajuniityntie 11 with Irmeli and Workshop on collaborative methods with David Mauffret.

Irmeli met us at the bus station then we went all together to Haaga campus, there we were met by one of the staff members. We attended 2 different Bachelor Thesis Presentations and they were very interesting especially when the two presenters answered audiences' questions after each presentation. Also, something was very interesting was the visit to Finnish Hotel of Tomorrow; there I had seen two high quality-furnitured rooms. The two rooms were expensively equipped, so there were very attractive; I can say that they were modern rooms and if they are applied in the future they will be very expensive for ordinary people. I liked that visit and I learned new things.

In addition, for week 5, there had been some practical teaching activities:  that means we had applied some teaching collaborative methods. Each group were given the instructions of the method that they would use, and were given a time to choose a topic and to practice what would they teach. There had been very useful teaching techniques applied in that session and I found most of them useful and could be applied in my class. However, there had been too much time- wasting on some known issues and a lot of boring repetitions. Also, as a member of the ocean group I waited with David after 2:00 pm, for a consultant meeting and that was very difficult and I found it was not too necessary for me. There was something which I hated in week 5, it was the attendance record, and they sent that I had completed 95 %, for weeks 1 – 5, in spite of giving them a valid reason. In fact, I discussed Irmeli and she told me they will take that out at the end of the programme, but I think it is very frustrated, especially we are experienced teachers and we all know the best ways of controlling attendances in classes. I think that way should be changed because it is not fair.  

                                                                                                                      

WEEK 4 , REFLECTION

Reflection of week 4

For the reflection of week 4, I can say that this week left a positive image in my mind because of its useful activities. The first types of activities were within the classroom observations that when I attended as a member of the ocean group to observe classes of three different teachers and the successful and impressive ones occurred during the visit to Porvoo campus.   

In fact, I had learned that monitoring and observing peers in the field of teaching is very important and I think it is necessary for teachers in one school to exchange visits from time to time.  Shadowing classes build and create critical thinking that reflects the advantages and the disadvantages of the teaching methods applied in a class. Also, shadowing classes help a teacher to improve his/her teaching activities and offer a teacher enough self-confidence.

In addition, I liked the visit to Porvoo campus and I found it something very exciting and interesting because of the people met us in the campus were very friendly, and the campus was well designed, constructed and beautifully equipped and it had a very comfortable furniture. The arrangements of the stuff in classes, and in the whole campus may help a teacher and a student spend most of their time in a happy mood and that atmosphere would be good for both; a teacher and a student to do well in their duties.  In order to be honest and to say the truth, the city tour was also very exciting and we spent a pleasant time touring some places in the city on our feet.   

Classroom Observation 4

WEEK 4

Instructor evaluated: Ilpo Päiväläinen                            Date: 25th.  April, 2012 (Wednesday)

Course: English Business Documents                           Time: 12:00  - 13:45  Room: 4001M

Evaluator(s) Misfer Alqahtani (The Ocean)              Number of students present: 19

The lesson observed was about writing a letter of order in English and it aimed to help students acquire proficiency in business writing. The teacher warmed up his class by delivering some sheets to his students containing different types of questions (multiple-choices, filling the spaces, and open questions) about main business terminology they would need in the following tasks. Students answered them orally and he corrected mistakes and added comments. Then he let his students do some assignments in groups, pairs and individually. Then he summarized   his lesson.

The teacher was an example of student‐centered class and interaction. In‐class discussions were frequently conducted and multi‐techniques in different forms of activities to improve students’ business writing proficiency were applied.

His students were very attentive, well prepared and they actively participated in a collaborative scene. They had been encouraged by the teacher. This was mainly obvious in his teaching techniques of browsing students work and moving in class to help them.

 Also, he used some important teaching aids, such as the board, textbook, handouts and the computer. However, one thing I had observed insufficient in the class was that he did not use the power point or the documentary camera. I think if he used that kind of teaching tool, it would be more appropriate and interactive, especially, the class is full of enthusiastic students.

The teacher in his class was serious, confident and his voice was audible and clear. In short, this lesson was a very practical business writing lesson in that it helps students build up ability to write English for specific purposes, which are extremely beneficial for students in their future working life.

Classroom Observation 3

WEEK 4

Instructor evaluated: Anna Kimberly              Date: 24^th.  April, 2012 (Tuesday)

Course: 12:00 - 13:45 English Business Documents           Number of students present: 10

Evaluator(s) Misfer Alqahtani (The Ocean)

 The lesson observed was about writing a CV and a letter of application.  The class met at room 2204. The major task of the lesson was to prepare students to write CVs and letters of applications as their assignment.  The teacher started her lesson by having her students look at a written CV template reflected on the whiteboard by the documentary camera and she discussed it with her students, asking them specific and detailed questions about each part in the template.

     From observation, the teacher’s teaching philosophy in her class can be revealed mainly through the following aspects.

First, she believes that class should be student‐centered and interactive. This is particularly obvious in her design of class activity, which depends totally on her frequent questions and comprehensive discussion about the lesson main idea. However, the negative side was that, there had been only one teaching activity applied in the classroom which failed to encourage students to be involved actively in the discussion.  I think it would be successful if some different activities used, such as, brainstorm (at the beginning of the lesson), dividing students into groups or in pairs and encouraging them to make their discussion.

In my opinion,  alternative teaching activities are very necessary for the teacher to change his teaching way if he needs that, especially when the students are not attentive and do not participate. So, some alternative teaching activities were urgent in her class.

 

Second, the lesson was carefully prepared and the objectives and aims were very clear. As a result, she was confident and no hesitation during the class discussion or when she were asked by her students and observers. Also, it had been clear to me through her discussion that she used the multi-social media with her students and she had asked her students to be prepared for making presentations about different cultures.  In fact, I could see that the teacher tried to do her best and she would achieve her goals.

Week4, Observation 2

Classroom Observation 2

WEEK 4

Instructor evaluated:  Wallace Reynolds              Date: 23^rd.  April, 2012 (Monday)

Course: 12:00 - 13:45 English for Journalists            Number of students present: 7

Evaluator(s) Misfer Alqahtani (The Ocean)

As a member of "The Ocean group" I attended the teaching session for a classroom observation with the above mentioned teacher and his lecture was about an interesting topic. He discussed the best ways of gathering information about the person who will be interviewed, different ways of making an interview, types of questions, and types of listening and signs of listening.  

His teaching skills he used were very good because there had been variety of teaching activities applied and he used the documentary camera as a tool of his teaching aids but the scrip of some sheets was very small and I think he should pay attention to this point because some students at the back might face difficulty in reading what was written on the whiteboard. In addition,  I noticed that he spent very long time  reviewing the previous information that he had taught and I think it would be better and enough  if he spent about 5 - 7 minutes on the review. He was very polite with us and with his students, however,, I noticed that he did not introduce us to his students and did not explore his teaching objectives and aims at the start of his class.

In general, his lecture was interesting because as I mentioned above he used some useful teaching tasks, such as pair work, group work and individual work and his students were very attentive, there had been interaction and he was humor with his students. In fact, I liked his lecture.
