This week marked as the 6^th week, two weeks before we closed the month of February 2009. Time move so fast, sometimes I feel that I cannot keep up with its pace, the works doubled up and a lot of challenges triggered. I strongly believe that, a human’s life is not complete without challenges and problems, only one who can endure until the end is the winner. I always shout at myself that no pain, no gain every time problems arise. This week is kind tough for me especially in thinking what will be the issues will arise when I officially became a teacher within two years from now on! Can I become a great teacher like Madam Lam Saw Yin? Madam Lim Bee Leng? Mr. Koo Teck Hock? Madam Juliana Osong? Can I control the class very well or can I teach mathematics in the most effective ways? I feel headache just to concern what will be happen in the future. Based from reading from Article X, different issues arise in different countries. For example, in Malaysia, teaching Maths in English is very challenging especially when we as the new teachers transferred to a place where its population cannot understand the English at all. If they don’t understand any words, how can they understand the concept mathematics? As we concern, the problems which may arise here is the language factor. Other issue which maybe existed is the method that we as the teachers will be using whether based from the text and workbook only, teaching kits or both. So at the end of the week, a debate between groups from Maths 1 and Maths are being held. From the debate, a lot of issues were highlighted and recommendations were being discussed. Another interesting debate is about; Training a mathematics generalist or a specialist in handling primary mathematics in school: Its impact on children’s learning of mathematics. This sure makes the whole class on fire. For me, I prefer the generalist especially for those schools who lacks of teacher. Flexibility and sophisticated is the key of the generalist. He maybe can be English and Mathematics teacher; two in one, more effective and efficient.
