Feedback on exploration
By showing the video on vending machine, the students were curious and
wondering what they will be learning about on the lesson. They have no
ideas what is the connection of vending machine with the topic that they
are going to learn.
The students were able to give response on the video, and explain how
the vending machine operates. Some of the students were able to
mention the input-output-storage process. Whereas from our exploration,
we can see that the students have a ‘picture’ (ideas) of some basic
computer operation.

By giving an explanation to the students, they are now able to apply the
ideas to the basic operation of the computer. They are also able to
identify correctly on the exercise given. (fig 1)

For the class activity, students were given group activity where they have
to divide themselves into three groups and do some research on input or
output or storage devices from the internet. From the activity, students
gave positive response and feel excited to work together as a group.
Reflections on feedback including any changes
From our micro teaching, we have positive feedback from the lecturer
and classmate. As pointed out by our lecturer, we have applied the
correct assessment that meet the SPN 21 objectives that is more towards
students centred.
In the future, we will ensure that all the students must pay attention and
actively participate in the lesson. In order to get the students’ interest
towards the lesson, we will make use of IWB.

Instead of showing the video of the vending machine we will bring the
students to experience buying drinks from the real vending machine at
the school canteen.
We need to improve our instructions strategies by delivering the
information more clearly.
