FOURTH CLASS REFLECTION

Assalamualaikum and hello.

A successful learning experience requires certain characteristic that helps to improve and develop the potential as well as skills and knowledge of the students. This criteria such as non threatening environment and diverse teaching and learning approach helps to achieve the aims and objective of the lesson. This paradigm of effective classroom setting was practiced in the fourth class that sets it free from the conventional approach. In other word, I realized that the lecturer understand the needs of her students as some of us may not be able to fully understand and master the skills and knowledge about specific computer application such as Adobe Photoshop, U-lead and many more. In addition, the exploration approach encouraged by her was good in the sense that it requires the students like me to become an independent learner exploring the computer application with own effort.

Personally speaking, I believe that we were already become accustomed to the dateline of assignment and it was some of the important factor that pushed us to complete the work. But when the dateline was not known, it has provided different reactions which is on the positive side, it actually provide some ease of mind and encourage the successful learning experience for the student. In other word, we can enjoy learning and exploring the application and master the skills and knowledge before the lecturer decided on the dateline. While on the negative side, I think that some of us will become lazy and less effort on the application self-exploration. But, this negative side can be alleviate through classroom task that requires us to submit the work like for example, the photo editing task which must be uploaded individually in the photo bucket website. In addition, our the attitudes and perceptions of the course must also be in parallel with the lesson’s aims and objective so that successful learning experience can be created.


The fourth class was informative in the sense that, we were introduced to the Adobe Photoshop application. I am grateful to God for giving me the chance to learn one of His creations of knowledge. The application was impressive and I could have never imagined that it can make something impossible to possible and beautiful. The application was able to add effect on the picture, enhance the beauty and many more. The most important thing about this is that, we must know how to utilize it to the fullest and eventually contributed to the successful learning experience of the future primary school pupils. Apart from that, the lecture also presented on the how to create a story line particularly on plot creation. This was deemed necessary for completing the third assignment as well as recalling back what we have learnt in the previous years while in the teacher’s college. Time was also provided for the groups to discuss and clarify on the assignment with helps from the lecturer. This is important as in the classroom context; the teacher should not only impart knowledge but also assess the pupils’ progress and their level of mastery and understanding of particular topic.
Before the class ended, the lecturer summed up on today’s activity and the task that requires everyone attention. The submission of individual photo editing on the photo bucket is a must for all of us. This is to ensure that, what we learn and explore is not wasted.

All in all, the fourth class provides information, creation of new schemata (photo editing knowledge) as well as some clarification on the classroom activity and its flow. I hope that I can master this amusing and interesting application so that it will be beneficial for me and my future primary school pupils. Thank you to Pn. Foziah and my friends.
