FORMAT OF PRACTICUM WEEKLY JOURNALS

Apart from preparing the teaching and learning materials, teachers are required to write weekly journals for 12 consecutive weeks of their practicum. So, what are the contents of a weekly journal? Generally, there are 7 main points that need to be highlighted:

1. Problem - What are the problems that a teacher face for a particular

week during practicum?

2. Analysis - Why do the problems occur?

3. Suggestions for Improvement - How to overcome the problems?

4. Duration - How long does it need to resolve the problems?

5. Assessment of Success - Does the teacher manage to work out on

his/her problems by executing the suggestions?

6. Further Action - What else can the teacher do overcome the

problems?

7. Conclusion / Reflection - What can be learned from the problems?

How do the problems become beneficial to the teacher?

It is not compulsory to write a journal using the above method. It depends on you and your supervising lecturer's approval.
