Abstract

Reflection is a meta-cognitive activity performed by teachers after learning process has finished. Through reflection, teacher can re-evaluate the learning process, in terms of whether or not the learning objectives are achieved. The achievement of learning objectives is inseparable from teacher’s intervention in implementing appropriate and suitable teaching method based on the characteristics of the subject, the structure of the material, and the students’ characteristics. Every subject has its own unique characteristic, which requires different methods for teaching the materials and topics of the subject (Subject-Specific Pedagogic). In addition, the structures of materials are also unique. The characteristics of these structure includes factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, and procedural knowledge. All these knowledge requires teacher to implement suitable methods (Pedagogical Content/Knowledge). Teacher’s error in selecting and implementing teaching method will affect students’ achievement. Such error may cause students’ difficulties in learning and results in students’ misconception. Ideally, before teaching, a teacher should know the students’ characteristics first, particularly concerning their prior skills and knowledge of the material to be taught. Students’ difficulties of learning and their misconception about the pre-requisite materials will cause further misconception on future materials. It is because topics or materials of a subject are intertwined. A professional teacher will implement many teaching method during the lesson, because he realizes that the structures of materials the students need to master vary. Therefore, in planning a lesson as a form of pedagogic didactic anticipation, teacher should consider the characteristics of the material and the suitable teaching method for that material.
