Feedback on exploration

By showing the video on vending machine, the students were curious and

wondering what they will be learning about on the lesson. They have no

ideas what is the connection of vending machine with the topic that they

are going to learn.

The students were able to give response on the video, and explain how

the vending machine operates. Some of the students were able to

mention the input-output-storage process. Whereas from our exploration,

we can see that the students have a ‘picture’ (ideas) of some basic

computer operation.

By giving an explanation to the students, they are now able to apply the

ideas to the basic operation of the computer. They are also able to

identify correctly on the exercise given. (fig 1)

For the class activity, students were given group activity where they have

to divide themselves into three groups and do some research on input or

output or storage devices from the internet. From the activity, students

gave positive response and feel excited to work together as a group.

Reflections on feedback including any changes

From our micro teaching, we have positive feedback from the lecturer

and classmate. As pointed out by our lecturer, we have applied the

correct assessment that meet the SPN 21 objectives that is more towards

students centred.

In the future, we will ensure that all the students must pay attention and

actively participate in the lesson. In order to get the students’ interest

towards the lesson, we will make use of IWB.

Instead of showing the video of the vending machine we will bring the

students to experience buying drinks from the real vending machine at

the school canteen.

We need to improve our instructions strategies by delivering the

information more clearly.
