On this day, I spent a one hour period in teaching mathematics and I tried my best to implement the NCAF throughout my teaching-learning process. Before I deliver the lesson, I planned a very good lesson with learning outcomes that relate to the learning objectives provided in the syllabus. There were three learning outcomes of the lesson that I unpacked from the syllabus and this how I related the learning outcomes with the learning objectives in the syllabus. All of the learning outcomes are created from the basic to the complex one. This means that the first learning outcome was basic, the second one was went deeper than the first one and then the last is more complex. For the last learning outcome, students are needed to go deeper and apply their understanding of the subject content to their learning activities.
In addition, the teacher need to relate the subject content to real life situations. During this class, I tried my best to provide students their activities that related to real-life situations. For example, in the lesson, the learning activity that I provided them which is related to real-life situation was to calculate the area of the mwaneaba that has a square shape floor with a perimeter of 32 meters. This mathematic learning activity is related to real-life situation where they can use their skills and knowledge on calculating areas in real-life situations.
Not just that but also I used relevant teaching and learning materials/resources appropriate to achieve the standard objectives. In this class, I used the teachers' guide book as my teaching resources, chart papers for the summary notes of calculating the 2D perimeter and area. I used those two things as my teaching and learning resources which are appropriate to achieve the standard objectives. By entering the classroom with no teaching and learning materials/resources, the teaching and and learning process will be negatively affected in which that students cannot learn to their fullest. Also, students cannot achieve what most expected for them to achieve in the learning process. So, it is clear that you have to use appropriate teaching and learning resources so that learners can achieve the standard learning objectives.
In summary, this experience has given me a greatest lesson on how to implement the NCAF throughout the teaching and learning process. Most importantly is to relate your students learning outcomes with the learning objectives provided in the syllabus. Also, it very crucial to provide students learning activities which are more related to real life situations, by doing this, you can help the kid to solve real-life situations. In addition, using appropriate teaching and learning materials, you can easily assist students to achieve the standard objectives. Therefore, implementing NCAF is very essential for teachers to do during their teaching practices so that they make students easily success in achieving the learning outcomes.
