I. THE TEACHER
Based on the theory at the second chapter, I can reflect that I am included as The Involver during my Internship program.
Some reasons why I am included myself as The Involver:
A. When I came to this school and observed. I already knew that this school still used the traditional method in teaching, where the teacher explain and the students take a note (In other words, most of teacher in my workplace during the internship program, are The Explainer). However, Mrs. Wiwiek Andreani ever told in Introduction to English Language Learning course class in the 4th semester, that The Explainer seems ineffective to be used, because sometimes it makes the students become a passive students. She said that If we want to be a good English teacher, we must …show more content…

They are likely to do a learning by observing.

D. Children are love to talk rather than listen. Therefore, I know that they were more enthusiast in learning by practicing, than just listening my explanation. They easily got bored when just listening teacher’s explanation. Nevertheless, their enthusiasm was very high when I engage them actively when discussing the materials. Each of them tried to show their ability in order to comprehend the materials.

2. Jean Piaget’s Stage of Development
Based on Jean Piaget’s Stage of Development, I put the 2nd grade to the Pre-Operational stage and the 5th also the 6th grade are put in to the Concrete Operationalstage.
The reason why I put the 2nd grade students to the second stage (Pre-Operational Stage) of Jean Piaget’s Stage of Development are:
A. The 2nd grade students in my workplace during internship program were approximately 6 to 7 years old.

B. Their characteristic was nearly the same with the explanation in the Pre-Operational stage; they lacked of logical thinking and their egocentrism was very high.
C. Sometimes, my students often asked for an unimportant things. Even they asked for something they had asked before, just made sure that my answer still as

Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist, studied cognitive development from a biological perspective. As part of his theory, he looked at organization and adaptation which were the two main principles in the human 's mind and development. He further explained that human beings dependably strive to acquire a state of balance. Adaptation occurs when children encounter cognitive disability, this is known as, the situation where children will see the world as it is, and what they’re experiencing. Therefore, children incorporate new information and combine it with the existing one.

……………….). Consequently, Piaget rigid age-related stages thereby make Piaget’s hypothesis inaccurate. Furthermore, in a study conducted by (Kuhn et al., 1977) suggested that only 30-35% of high school student could achieve Piaget’s (formal operations stage of cognitive development. This implies that Piaget’s idea of one cap fit all was inaccurate, therefore he was criticised for not considering and focusing on individual’s child, because children are individual they achieve intellectual ability at different stages in life.

Through reading the chapter two and what the teacher explained to us, I understand a lot of concepts that come true in the real life, and there are specific cases, where at least one of the concepts in chapter two happened to us or we have seen one. According to Piaget’s stages of child development, trust vs. mistrust comes on in the child at the age of two years old. At this point, the teacher and parents have to work together to build a good way to arrival a child without crying.

My Views about these theories: To start with, I believe that Piaget 's goal is to explain the mechanisms by which the infant, and then the child, develops into an individual who can reason and think using hypotheses. This is because the child is an active learner in his/her development process as the teacher will be acting only as a facilitator. • Piaget believed that children go through 4 universal stages of cognitive development. A child 's cognitive development is about constructing a mental image of the world around them this keep on changing as the child matures.

As for Piaget, interaction with peers is more effective than those with people carrying higher skills and capabilities. The reason is that peers’ ability is almost equivalent with each other. So that it is not stressful for people to express different views. Consequently, cognitive development is promoted by interaction with peers through cognitive conflicts. On the contrary, cognitive development is motivated by interaction with people such as teachers and parents in Vygotsky’s theory (Vygotsky,1978).

It provides the most effective learning condition which is the gap between what the learners can and cannot do without help in the ZPD. When planning the scaffold, a teacher should consider the designed-in scaffold, where the teacher has to plan before a teacher and the interactional contingent which is the situation in the classroom context. The teacher can provide the scaffold to learners during listening and speaking class to help the learners to decode and meaning build the sound they heard. A teacher who is not able to provide suitable scaffolding in the classroom is not able to motivate the learners to learn because the lesson may be either too simple or too difficult for the learners to learn. In conclusion, a “good” language teacher should be able to plan, select and sequence the activities to provide the suitable challenge and scaffold for learners to learn

You being born into this world would be considered a once in a lifetime event, but socialization doesn’t work that way. Socialization isn’t a short-term event, nor something that happens once in our lives, it’s something that continues to occur as we go on throughout life. As society changes, we change as people and this alters socialization all throughout life, making it a lifelong process. Current laws, rules, and other age norms have a lot to do with socialization and how it changes throughout life.
