Abstract

Microteaching practices and educational field experiences have long been part of the professional training of teachers. Both are requirements that must be taken by prospective teachers to become skilled and professional teachers. This study aims to describe the effect of microteaching practices and educational field experiences on the professionalism of prospective teachers. A quantitative approach with the correlational method was used to analyze the data obtained from 178 teacher candidates who took part in the practice of microteaching and carried out 6 months of educational field experience. The instrument used to collect data is a questionnaire. The results of the data analysis show that the microteaching practice and educational field experiences affect the professionalism of prospective teachers. However, educational field experiences have a more dominant influence than the practice of microteaching. Educational field experience directly shapes the character of prospective teachers to become professional educators because they are faced with real experience in the field. Meanwhile, the practice of microteaching occurs in a limited space so the teaching experience gained by prospective teachers is also limited. More effective management of microteaching practices needs to be a concern because through microteaching prospective teachers theoretically and practically gain knowledge about basic teaching skills and skills in compiling learning tools. The knowledge gained during the practice of microteaching is used by prospective teachers while carrying out educational field experiences.

Abstract

Reflective journals are used as self-reflection tool to improve the quality of learning. Students can record their learning process through reflective journals so that they can find out their strengths and weaknesses while studying and are able to choose the right strategy to improve their learning, especially in learning to write explanatory texts. This study aims to describe the role of reflective journals in monitoring the writing process of explanatory text. This type of research is quantitative research using correlational methods. A total of 63 students were randomly selected to work on writing tasks which were monitored using reflective journals. Their responses indicated that reflective journals influenced their motivation, self-confidence, and improved learning. They feel the value and comfort of using a reflective journal while completing writing assignments. This result is directly proportional to the statistical test performed. By using the product-moment correlation test, it shows that the relationship between the reflective journal variable and the ability to write explanatory text is significant and very strong based on the correlation value, namely: 0.828. The use of reflective journals affects the ability to write explanatory texts by 68.6% and the remaining 31.4% is influenced by other variables. These results indicate that reflective journals play a very important role in monitoring the writing process. The role of reflective journals in writing, namely: as a means of self-reflection, a guide as well as a means of recording writing experiences; as a tool to cultivate metacognition and cover up weaknesses in writing; as a tool to increase awareness about cognition, tasks, and self in writing; as a guideline for using the right strategy in writing because they know their strengths and weaknesses in writing; as a tool to organize learning in an effort to complete writing assignments; and as a tool that forms a habit of writing, starting from planning, setting goals, and proper strategies for completing tasks.
