Shadowing 3

Shadowing 3

Before the class started I meet Mrs. Suonpaa and Mr. Innanen. I introduced myself in brief, such as profession, field, education background and the purpose to attend their class. I was well prepared because I wanted to make a first impression. They told us this class is about Researching Target Markets and the students had assignment on project collecting data as a group, regarding how to establish business in Finland, what are the obstacles and the challenge that will face the investors. Then, they went on with several questions concerning if we want to get involve or to comment during the lecture. The students started to come, Mrs. Suonpaa had to introduce us to the students and also we had to give a little bit introduction about ourselves. Then, she started talking about the assignment that she gave them from the previous session and how they are going to present the outcome of their research. The students suggested to give little data that they had collected so far from the survey. Mrs. Suonpaa agreed, after that the students started their  presentation as a project team work. While the students are giving the presentation Mrs. Suonpaa and Mr. Innanen were elaborating and asking questions, at the end of the presentation they took the attendance.

My Personal observation point of view:

In the beginning of the session Mrs. Suonpaa set up a clear agenda for the lesson as well as the objective.

The Instructor related today subject to the previous one. Then, she outline the roles and structures of the class from the beginning such as the outcome of each group research has to be presented, also the evaluation will be based on the quality of the presentation and individual project assignment.

Mrs. Suonpaa and Mr. Innanen were very well prepared, planned and organized. Also, their teaching methods approach were based on social functional activities which means to help the students to interact in a group discussion and demonstrate their focus.

The participation of the students was encouraging very strong, well supervise by the instructor in constructive and protective way which to make sure their students understood the subject.

The atmospher in the class was very good, well organized such as the setting, supports the student interaction and help them to focus on learning.

The students seemed to be cooperative helping each other by working in their research as a group, sharing the data and learning from each other.

The main focus of this class is independent research as a project team work on collecting data about the investment future in Finland, through survey questionnaire. Therefore, the content was accurate and up-dated.

Conclusion:


The Objective of the session was really clear, through the students presentation by starting the questionnaire and the data they are getting.

The planning, preparation and organizing were on place. The method learning approach was effective, Mrs. Suonpaa focused on cognitive, social and constructive in these methods were a lot of participation engagement and the students were encourage to play active role on mental process as Thinking, Reasoning and Remembering. However, in the meantime Mrs. Suonpaa emphasize her role in the class by taking the attendance which means she is in control. After all, I really admire her teaching style and techniques which  she combined different methods approach. Therefore, I'll use this suitable effective method to achive the learning objective in some of my teaching class.
