A TEACHER DIARY "HOW TO HANDLE THE STUDENTS' QUESTIONS"

-
It is 2019 already wkwk and it will be my very first post this year *😂 I am superrrrrrrr excited!

Well, as a teacher, I couldn't escape from the condition where the students ask me many questions and there will be a moment I don't have any idea about it. The students generally, they think that the teachers know everything and sometimes we also don't want to be seen as a people who didn't know everything. What a perfect combination, isn't it? 😂

As long as you are a human being, no matter what your profession is, especially a teacher, you can't avoid "ignorance". So, how to handle the students' question?

1. First, if you don't know the answer, say so. Most of us are trying so hard to answer all the questions. I personally will say "sorry, I don't know the answer and I will try to find it for you". I think it will be better than force yourself to answer everything until it might give an inappropriate answer and make it up a little. It will feel heavy because it might reduce our credibility, but over time it will be much more relief. At first, some students often say: "how can a teacher didn't know all the answers" and I give an explanation to them; "teaching means learning twice, the teachers are also learners, just because I am a teacher, it doesn't mean I know everything, and I feel better for being honest than giving a wrong answer to you" they understand really well and of course they agree with my words.

2. If I doubt my answer, I will answer it first and then say "wait a minute, I will confirm my answer first because I am a little hesitant". Being honest won't hurt you. Educating is not only about worldly affairs but also concerns the afterlife. Do not let us teach the wrong thing, then students apply it and then teach it again and so on, then, of course, the sin due to their mistakes will be our responsibility.

3. If the students ask simple questions, for example, the translation of a word or sentence, do not immediately give them an answer. Once in a while, ask them to search for themselves first. It will help the students to be more active and independent.

MY JOURNEY TO ENTER UNIVERSITY

Hello, it has been about five years after I struggle to enter the university. Yes, I was graduated in 2017.  Cheers :) Bingung mau mulai dari mana hahaha. Kalo kata petugas SPBU sih "kita mulai dari nol yah :v"   Tahun 2013, seluruh siswa kelas XII diminta oleh staf TU untuk mengisi formulir dan mengumpulkan beberapa berkas pendaftaran SNMPTN dan bidikmisi sekaligus. Kita bisa memilih dua kampus dan tiga jurusan.  Nah, waktu itu saya memilih dua kampus teratas yang ada di Makassar, benar, Universitas Hasanuddin (UNHAS) dan Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) *jadimalusendiri*😂😂 jurusannya tentu saja yang berbau English-_- Hubungan Internasional dan Sastra Inggris di Unhas dan Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di UNM menjadi pilihan saya. Beberapa pekan setelah pendaftaran SNMPTN berakhir, Bapak Kepala Sekolah kami waktu itu, mendapatkan surat pengumuman seleksi dari Kampus Sulawesi Flight dan nama saya ada di dalamnya sebagai siswa yang diterima untuk posisi pr...

1001 Stories in Melbourne (Penghargaan Tinggi Kepada Pejalan Kaki)

-
Assalamu 'alaikum.  Sebenarnya ini bisa di bilang lanjutan dari postingan mengenai lalu lintas di Melbourne. Namun, kali ini fokus pada penghargaan terhadap pejalan kaki. Penghargaan seperti apa, sih? Yuk baca sampai bosan *eh haha baca sampai selesai maksudnya. Ketika kalian berjalan kaki di Indonesia, apa kalian merasa aman dan nyaman? Apa kah kalian merasa di hargai? Apa kah kalian di beri ruang? Atau kalian malah di maki? Saya tidak begitu heran dengan pertanyaan - pertanyaan yang saya ajukan di atas. Sebab, hal ini sudah sering saya rasakan bahkan beberapa kali saya alami. Seharusnya pemerintah kita bisa belajar dari lovable place to live ini. Ruang untuk pejalan kaki tersedia di semua tempat. Bahkan menurut salah satu Professor yang mengajar kami disana, penataan halaman rumah di Melbourne itu ada aturan khususnya. Setelah pagar rumah, ada space untuk pejalan kaki, lalu tanaman. Jarak antara rumah dengan badan jalan ditentukan, beda sekali dengan di Indonesia....
