1.0 Professional Statement
2.1 Statement before School Based Experience (SBE)
In this semester, I need to undergo my first School Based Experience (SBE) that will be
carried out from 5th March 2012 to 9th March 2012. Through this program, I hope that I
will be able to gain early understanding about the school from perspective of a teacher.
For preparation, I need to plan several activities that I will carry out at the school.
Furthermore, for my EDU 3101 Education and Philosophy in Malaysia, we are given a
coursework that required us to carry out some observation and interviews with the
school’s administration. Thus, I need to plan my activities well so that I can carry out all
the activities in time that is within the five days.
One of the activities that I have planned to carry out is to obverse whether the
school contains all the stuff that are being listed in the EDU 3101 Education and
Philosophy in Malaysia checklist. I will also going to consult the school’s administration
for their roles in the school and also regarding the current syllabus, KSSR. These are
some requirement that we need to fulfill for our EDU 3101’s coursework. Thus, I must
prepare some questions early before I go and interview the teachers in the school. This
is to avoid me from asking some questions that are not related to the coursework.
Besides that, I will interview some subject teachers, especially English
teachers, on how they differentiate in teaching different levels of students, which are the
upper level and lower level. This is for me to see that how they can implement different
style of teachings to different group of students. Furthermore, I will also question about
the interaction of the students and teacher in the class and how the elements of the
National Philosophy of Education (NPE) is being implemented in the class. This
question is important to ensure that all the objectives of the NPE are reached in the
school. Besides that, I am planning to question of the activities and programs that are
organized in the school to develop the students from the aspect of intellectual, physical,
spiritual, and social with reference to individual differences of different type of students
in the school.
Besides that, I will ask for permission from one of the English teachers that I
interviewed to observe the Teaching and Learning process in one of the class in the
school. This is because I want to see it myself of how teaching and learning process is
taken place in a class. I want to gain some knowledge regarding the class control so
that I can make use of the knowledge in the future.
Apart from that, I plan to interview the canteen management about the food
they provide for the students. I also will interview the head of the school administration
of the school, the headmaster of the school. The interview with the headmaster will
focus on the question about the school administration, the school history and
background and lastly the implementation of the elements of the National Philosophy of
Education (NPE) in the school. I will also interview the senior assistants of the school
about their role based on the position of senior assistants that they obtain in the school.
Lastly, I will interview some students about how the teachers teach them
about the values that is accordance to the National Philosophy of Education (NPE) in
the class.
I hope that I can carry out all the activities that I have planned before the
School Based Experience (SBE) and I look forward to gain knowledge in my first School
Based Experience (SBE).
2.2 Report of Focus Activities
Based on my preparation before the program, I have managed in carrying out
some of the activities which I have planned for my first School Based Experience (SBE).
However, we cannot do much on interaction with the students since they are having
their examination in that week.
5TH MARCH 2012 (MONDAY)
Today is my first day to come to the school that is SK St. Anne, Sarikei. I
arrived at school at 6.45 a.m. The classes in the school begin as early as 7.10 am, thus
I must come early before the guard preventing me from getting into the school. When I
arrived at the school, I wait for my friends in front of the school office. Approximately at
6.50 am, every trainee teachers have arrived at the school. The total of teacher-trainees
that carry out their SBE here is around fourteen peoples. We came from different
colleges. We then waited for the headmistress of the school in the resource centre. A
few minutes later, the senior assistant, Mr. Chua Tua Lee arrive to replace the
headmistress, who is away from the school for a few days. We then required to report
ourselves to him and gave him the authorization letter. After that, the briefing session
with Mr Chua was complete and we are allowed to walk around the school. I, together
with friends, took a tour around the school and did my observation regarding my EDU
3101’s coursework. I checked whether the school contains all the items that are being
listed down in the coursework’s form for example like infrastructure facilities,
administration, and cleanliness of the school. I walked around the school to search for
the physical layout of the school and the school organizations chart. Furthermore, I also
observed the school infrastructure buildings and have taken some pictures for the
requirement of my coursework. I notice that the school that I went to, contain all the
items that being listed in the check list and the school overall, have all the basic need of
a basic school.
The next activity that I did on that day was doing some interviews with the
subject head of the school. First, we went to interview the English subject head of the
school, Madam Lim Kee Kee. We asked some questions like the role of the subject
heads in the school, interaction between her with the headmistress, and the KSSR’s
implementation in the school. From the interviews, I have learned that being a subject
head is not trouble-free, as he or she are expected to play important roles so that the
standard of the subject of the school is live up to the expectation. Besides that, I have
learned that the new syllabus, KSSR, is more to students-oriented rather than the old
syllabus, KBSR. Besides that, the new syllabus contain bands which is use to indicate
the students performance from time to time.
6TH MARCH 2012 (TUESDAY)
On the second day, I also arrived at the school at 6.45 am. I went to interview
some English teachers, that were Madam Alice Narawi and Madam Zurina. I questioned
on the pedagogies they used in teaching their particular classes and how they
implement the elements of the National Philosophy of Education in their teaching and
learning process. Besides that, I also asked about the interaction of the school
administration with all the teachers. From the interviews, I learnt that a teacher must
plan his or her lesson plan properly so that the pupils can understand and receive the
knowledge wholly. In order to attract the student’s attention, a teacher must love and
understand the students while the teaching and learning process is taken place. The
teacher should not condemn any students who perform badly in their study, instead they
should give them proper motivation to heal up their spirit. Rewards and
acknowledgement should be given to the students who perform well in the classes. I
also interested in the way of the English teachers in order to help their students to
master the knowledge. This is by emphasizing on their phonetic and speaking skills in
the early classes before the lesson take place. I also interviewed the canteen
management about the beautification program of the canteen environment and the food
provided. From the interview, the school administration played an important role so that
the canteen will provide healthy food for the body and brain of the students. Besides
that, I also learned that a good bond between the school administration and the canteen
management is vital so that they will provide good food not only for the need of the
students but for the welfare of the students as well. Besides, that, I also learned that
school administration should not ignore the canteen management as they are also part
of the school citizen.
7TH MARCH 2012 (WEDNESDAY)
Today is my third day in carrying out my SBE in this school. As usual, I went
to report myself at 6. 45 am. On that day, I went to interview the headmistress of the
school, Madam Marry Ranggau. During the interview, I questioned about the role of the
headmistress in managing the school. Aside from that, I also questioned her on the
implementation of the elements of the National Philosophy of Education that was
emphasized by the school. I also asked about the interaction between headmasters the
teachers and the supporting stuff. I also asked about the involvement of parents with the
school in some of the activities that require the support of the parents. I also ask about
the beautification program that was done by the school to enhance the environment
around the school. From the interviewed, I learnt a lot, especially the school
implementation of the elements of the National Philosophy of Education. I also learned
that the school emphasis on the developing students discipline and emotional quotient
(EQ). Furthermore, as the head of the school, the headmistress played an important
role of being the role model for the teachers in the school where she have the lead the
teachers through example, keen in her duty and she also played an important role in
monitoring the teachers for their performance so that teachers will not slack when they
did their job. Furthermore, the school also encourages the students to involve in co-
curriculum activities through assembly. I also learned that unity among the
headmistress, teachers and supporting staff is very important so that they school will be
a better place and so that the school and progress even further.
8TH APRIL 2012 (THURSDAY)
Today is my forth day in the school to carry out my SBE. As usual, I reported
myself approximately at 6.45 am. As for today, not so much interviews were carried out
and the students were still on their examination, thus, I can’t really make myself to the
class since there is no teaching and learning process taken place. Thus, I went to
interview the head of the Co-curriculum, Madam Roselyn Nyipan. During the interview, I
questioned her about her role as the senior assistant in the school, co-curriculum
programs that are being implemented in the school for the welfare of the students, and
how the concept of NPE can be manipulated in the school in producing students who
are excellent in co-curriculum instead of just academic achievement. From this
interview, I learnt that it is important for the school to plan the co-curriculum activities
properly for the students based on their majority interest and talent. The school also
should be the one who is responsible in nourishing the student’s talent so that they can
achieve good level in their respectable sports. Incentive and acknowledgement also
should be given to the students who perform well in their co-curricular activities.
9TH APRIL 2012 (FRIDAY)
Today is my last day to carry out my SBE in the school. I reported myself at
the same time as before, that is at 6.45 am. As for today, the students were done with
their examination and several classes are carried out as usual where the teaching and
learning process are taken place as usual. So, as for today, I can finally interact with the
students. I called two students from primary one classes to make them as part of my
experiment that is Jean Piaget’s Conservation tasks. We carry out the experiment in
the resource centre. After asking them several questions, I recorded my data and take
some pictures of them as the evidence.
Then, after the recess, the moment that I waited for long during the SBE had
finally come. I, with my friends, were given the opportunity to sit in a class, that is 5B
class. This is my experience to take control of a class, thus, as I stepped inside the
classroom, I felt blur and without any hesitation, I introduced myself to the students.
Class control is an important thing when we take over a class, and as for my first
experience, I think I can control the class eventually although I can’t entertain everyone
of them. I walked around the class to get to know about the students, and when I went
to this particular group, I notice the other particular group of students felt neglected
because of lack of attention from me. From there, I learnt that it is vital for a teacher to
give attention to all of the students so that everyone of them will feel that they are not
the passenger in the classroom. I end my classes by taken some pictures with the
children. Later on that day, we took some photographs with the headmistress, senior
assistants, subject heads, and other teachers. We also took the group photos of
fourteen of us that carry out the SBE in the school We felt relieved to finally ended our
SBE in the school successfully.
In conclusion, I had carried out my activities successfully. The cooperation of
the headmaster and the school indeed has help me a lot in the coursework that I did.

5.0 New Knowledge Gained from Observation 5.1 Observation
I have observed SK St. Anne, Sarikei from many aspects and views. There
are the climate of the education process in the school and classes, environment and
facilities of the school as well as the school administration.
For the school infrastructure, this school fulfills all of the items listed in the
checklist forms except for the boarding house; this is clearly because SK St. Anne is not
a boarding school. In my point of view, I can see that this school makes use of the entire
space and compound as a learning area. I can hardly found any place in the school that
is not used for academic purpose. For example, even behind the stairs of the blocks,
there will be a learning area for the students to study there. The school also owns a
multipurpose hall. The hall consists of two basketball courts, a big stage and sitting
place that was built around the hall. It is located next to the school compound.
Multipurpose hall benefits the school citizens in term of non-academic purpose. For
example, the students can play some sports like basketball, handball, volleyball and
netball here. Aside from that, any practice for competition can take place there. For
example, during my SBE, I witnessed their Action Song practice as preparation ahead
for the competition within the district level. Besides, the school owns a canteen which is
located in the centre of the school layouts. This is perhaps to ease all of the school
citizens to buy food from the canteen where the location of the canteen is just as near
as the classrooms and offices. Aside from that, the school owns two science
laboratories and a newly-built computer lab. These facilities benefit students a lot in
term of their academic purpose. As for example, students can surf the internet to look
for additional information that is not include in the textbook. Practical activities also can
be done in the science laboratories to further enhance their understanding towards the
theories that had been learnt.
Besides, the school environment also always ready in the clean and
harmonious state. This is because of the co-operation among the students and the
teachers. All sides really appreciate the comfort that is brought by the school due to the
cleanliness.
Besides, there are many activities and competitions that are organized by the
school to increase the interest and achievement of the students in the aspect of
curriculum and co-curriculum. In this case, I realize that as a teacher, we are not only
responsible for the development of the student’s intellectual, but also physical,
emotional, spiritual and social. All the aspects is important in shaping a balance
individual so that the student are able to withstand any pressure and control their
emotion in many problems.
The positive work attitude of the school has reminds me to always discipline
myself to become a responsible and hardworking teacher in the future. Besides, the co-
operation must be given from time to time because as a teacher, we will spend most of
the time carrying out the responsibilities entrusted in a group.
