Interactive Class

MMSEL 5

By: Dian Sulistiani / 2010110027

            Activities in MMSEL course is great, I am enjoying this class. We have some performances in this course. Do you remember about the group performances? Yup, there are three types of performances. Miss Mima divides us into several groups. Each group will present about the material. My group show the mini drama.

            I think that the methods of Miss Mima can increase the students’ motivation. Based on my feeling, I prefer to interactive class than traditional methods. I am lazy if the teacher just explains and explains the material, and the students just sit on the chair, hear it, then make a note. It is monotonous. If the interactive class, the students have a chance to explore their self. For example, in MMSEL course, Miss Mima gives chance to all group to present the material by using free methods. It is cool.

            The amazing meeting, my group and I make short drama to deliver the material about “Mastery-focus” and “Performance-focus”. I am being a mastery focus. I think that is same with my self. Yup, I analyse that I prefer to mastery focus than performance focus. But, sometimes I am being performance focus. For example, I have target of my score in some course. When, I feel that I afford to get highest score, I will struggle it more. It means that is my ability. But, when I feel that is not my ability, I will learn more and more so that I can understand the material well. The score is bonus for my struggling.

            I can not imagine that I will show my ability in this course. I like poem and I show it in my group’s drama. Do you know? It is appreciation for my self. Actually, it can help me to improve my confidents. I have a great life. I believe it so much.

            Finally, I reflect that indirectly, MMSEL helps me to improve my self. It is process although sometimes I am lazy to do the reflection. I lose my motivation to do the reflection. Maybe, it is a top of saturation. Some courses ask me to make reflection and reflection. It is okay. I believe that I will get some benefit in next time.
