Lyrics MMSU Hymne

MMSU dear

Alma Mater beloved

To you we promise our never ending love;

Though fate may bring us

To other lands afar,

Our hearts and thoughts will always be

With you wherever we are.

Hold high the green and gold

Waving with pride and hope;

To reap success and give the best

Dear Mariano Marcos State University

We now sing of thy real glory

We adore thee and love thee truly

Where'er we shall chance to roam

Thy sons and daughters will ever love thee

Are to thee loyal and true

Always Alma Mater dear,

Where'er we go, we'll think of thee.

 

Thou hast been always longing

For the welfare of thy children

And to them, thou hast devoted

Thy attention and best care

We soon shall be repaying

For the cares and kindness true

We will ever Alma Mater

Give the best in us for thee.


1.2 Academic support system 

    
Collage Teacher Education

    To support CTE Student learning to be more efficient. Mariano Marcos State University has Laboratory schools in the city of batac and laoag to facilitate STE practice and research. Laboratory schools are integrated and under the auspices of MMSU. 
      The Laboratory Schools are well managed by the faculty staff just like the other schools. All aspects are integrated into the laboratory school under the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. Currently the principal of the laboratory schools is Prof. Philistia Mercuria Bagasay. 
      I had the opportunity to observe and practice teaching at the laboratory school in the city of laoag. in laoag there is a kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school. I observed and taught for the junior high school level in grade 9. I practiced teaching in class 9 ARIES with 33 students and class 9 SCORPIO with 31 students.

1.3 Teaching System

                The current curriculum used by the Philippines is K to 12 Curriculum, it is implemented from Grade 7 - 9. For the Grade 10, they are still using the previous curriculum that is Science Curriculum. on the LHS for one one-hour lesson. School starts at 7:30 am to 5:00 pm. one of the most noticeable differences between teaching system in philippines and Indonesia is duration for one subeject. in LHS MMSU for one subjet the lesson happened for one hour ( 60 minute). But in indonesia for one subject in general for 1,5-3 hours.        Based on my observations in social studies lessons.  The teaching system at LHS teachers usually enter the class on time. Teachers usually teach using power point media in explaining the teacher's material by giving examples that are relevant to the surrounding environment and the teacher will ask questions. after explaining at the end of the lesson the teacher gives individual or group assignments for the next meeting. Based on my interview with the field study student there is a fun fact they say that many students think that social science lessons are boring lessons so, teachers need to choose the right and interactive learning strategy. A few facts also for social science lessons still use tagalag language in learning so that I don't understand. However, I am lucky that there is a field study (FS) student who helps me to translate.

Observation during the class

2.1 Teaching methods of the teacher 

        During my week-long observation at LHS, I had the opportunity to observe the seventh, and ninth grades of Junior High School. During the observation I certainly had a bit of a language barrier as I said for social studies lessons in the Philippines using tagalog. However, I am very grateful because there are MMSU FS students who are also doing observations helping me to be a translator and I also understand because there are some words that are familiar with English and the teacher also mixes English in explaining.

  • For grade seven, before starting the lesson, the teacher will instruct the students to collect their smartphones at the teacher's desk. The main purpose of the teacher doing that is so that in the learning process students can focus on following the lesson. Teachers use expository learning strategies abaout natural disaster . however, learning still focuses on student centered where, teachers often ask open questions to students and provide examples that are relevant to life. 


  • For the eighth grade, I had a slightly different experience because when I observed the students, it was not the teachers but the collage teacher education students from MMSU who were doing teaching practice and internships. Based on my observations the fs student explained material about the history of philosophers in the world. The learning method in the opening part of the lesson they use word guessing games and pictures to attract students' attention so that learning is fun. then in the core part using the expository method at the core of the material. In addition, they also insert quotes in learning.  
  • For grade nine based on my observations, the teacher uses expository learning which explains material about various economic systems. The teacher explains the material by giving relevant examples such as student activities in the canteen buying food and the teacher also uses animated videos to explain the material so that students are not bored. In learning the teacher also asks open questions so that there is two-way communication.

2.2 Their learning materials and innovation

During teacher observation in the learning process the material presented is as follows:
  • grade 7 natural disasters innovations that I found the teacher connects natural conditions in the Philippines with natural disasters that often occur such as el-nino.
  • grade 8 history philosophy of innovation that I found every time I entered 1 sub material fs student will display guessing games images or words in power point.
  • grade 9 economics innovations that I found the teacher gave and proposed examples that were easy to understand. such as explaining the economic system with activities to buy traditional Filipino food, namely chipay or graham mangoes.

2.2 Sources of learning and technology used by the teachers

       During the observation, I saw that for the source of material in learning, the teacher used a textbook with content adapted to the k-12 curriculum and sources from the internet. for technology that is used only uses power point, laptops, and animated videos.


C. Teaching Plan

        


The lesson plan is one of the main foundations in carrying out the teaching and learning process. every teacher must make a lesson plan. when I participated in this program one of the differences was the lesson plan. in the Philippines the lesson plan is very complex and long while in Indonesia the lesson plan is only one sheet but short and concise.
        I made lesson plans according to the curriculum used at LHS MMSU, namely the K-12 curriculum. the following lesson plans are made for teaching practice in grade 9 regarding consumption according to my major, namely economic education.
