What's Going on inside Students' Brains?

Malang, 02 Agustus 2016

To be honest, what comes to your mind when your teacher asks you to do some assignments when you are in bad mood or you are already tired? Yeah, I know this question is rather too straightforward for an opening. But, deep inside my brain and heart I’m actually curious about it. Before I become a teacher, I’ve been a student. And my answer would be like, he is a teacher so I have to do that and I can get a good score from it. Yet, how about students nowadays? Do they think it the same way as me?

I don’t think so. Based on what I see and experience, most students nowadays have more freedom. They can just tell their teachers when they don’t want to do what they ask them to. They can complain and critic what they think as a burden. And they even say something which is less appropriate to their teachers. I don’t want to say it inappropriate because what they say is still polite but maybe they say it to the wrong person. Maybe they just make jokes that’s why less inappropriate is the correct expression to describe it. But not everyone can handle those jokes. For some people it might be so rude. At the end, it will really break the relation between teachers and students. Who knows what could happen from jokes?

The point that I want to emphasize is what’s going on inside the students’ brains when their teachers are being so “annoying” with assignments or activities in the classroom. Well, now I sound like a creepy psychologist but I need the answer because now I’m in the position as a teacher and my students do that to me. I’m not offended about what they did to me. I can understand that most of them are tired because of school and other activities. So, when they get to the class they seem exhausted already. And I’m as a teacher always ask them to do this and that. Some of them who still have much energy left will do that right away while the others will complain first and do it half-heartedly. I think some students understand that it’s their responsibility to study. When they already know that, I’m sure they put it as a priority. But, do they think that it’s annoying to be always asked to do something in the classroom when they are not in a good mood? What’s going on inside their mind? What do they think of their teacher?

Well, if I put myself in my students’ shoes, the answer would be much different. I think I need to ask this question to my students later. Oh by the way, would you like to answer it? The answer is going to be very helpful for me. Yeah, I need other perspectives to understand human being.

Ceritaku di Bandara Juanda #KKN

Malang, 24 Agustus 2013 Mungkin apa yang aku ceritakan di sini menjadi pengalamanku yang pertama dan terakhir. Sebulan lamanya aku berada di tempat itu. Selama itu pula banyak hal-hal baru yang ku hadapi. Ya, pengalaman KKN atau bisa dibilang pengalaman magangku di Bandar Udara Internasional Juanda menjadi satu kenangan tak terlupakan yang ku alami tahun ini. Siapa yang menyangka mendapat kesempatan magang di Bandara Juanda akan membuka mataku seperti apa dunia lain itu. Hari Senin tanggal 01 Juli 2013, secara resmi aku telah masuk ke dunia kerja bersama dengan teman-temanku yang lain. Gedung Angkasa Pura I Bandara Juanda menjadi saksi bisu perjuangan kami menyelesaikan mata kuliah KKN. Awalnya nervous saat berada di gedung itu untuk pertama kalinya. Takut jika aku akan melakukan kesalahan di hari pertama. Tetapi saat berada di sana, takjub juga rasanya. Hari itu untuk pertama kalinya aku melihat deretan-deretan pesawat besar yang parkir di gedung AOB. Yea,,,that was my first ...
