CHAPTER 2 (PEDAGOGICAL CONTENT)

1.      Teaching Methods

The method of teaching each subject is different as well as the topics to be taught. Topics that have a lot of understanding of theory are better taught to use discussion or problem solving methods of cases that are easily found in students' daily lives. Whereas the learning method of discovery will be more interesting if the topic is discussed about natural phenomena related to cause and effect. For example, teaching the origin of atoms is certainly different from teaching redox reactions. The purpose of different ways of teaching students is not bored and easy to understand as their main goal.

2.      Learning Materials and Innovation

The availability of learning material has been very fulfilled. This is because schools have complete supporting facilities such as textbooks, websites, and others. Based on the results of practicum, the innovation of learning material lies in the way the teacher conceptualizes and makes creativity from the formative exam. Then the teacher emphasizes the importance of the application of what has been taught in the hope that students will create a great work.

3.      Sources and Learning Technology

            This school applies the importance of independent learning, meaning students are required to find out for themselves what they want to know. However, the teacher is in charge of guiding them for that. The source of lessons learned anywhere and those who have a good knowledge of technology make the whole learning topic easy to understand. They are also required to apply technology in classroom learning.

4.      Authentic Assessment

There are three aspects of assessment, namely knowledge, process, and attitude. For aspects of knowledge and process, the assessment method used is checking student assignments and assessment tools are assignments or worksheets. For attitudes, teachers use observation forms and explicit observations made by teachers every day.
