Reflection on teaching practice The reflection on teaching practice is the final assignment of UTP-ft. In this reflection, I will reflect on my progress and the feedback I received during the practice. I will also focus on some goals for my future development of skills to enhance my teaching for imparting quality learning. Making a video of my teaching and analysing it was a new experience for me. Though I was not comfortable with the practice I see some merit in it. In fact, I have been thinking of trying this idea but wasn’t sure how it can be done.

Initially we planned for only two activities; one in the beginning and one at the end. I have not thought of including some interaction in between the teaching. I realised this only when I went through the feedbacks received. This can be avoided in the future teaching by proper planning and revisiting the plan again. The weak planning was evident from the feedback on "time management". My friend used most of the time in doing the first activity which could have been done in few minutes. The lesson I get from this teaching as a team is to make an elaborate plan with specified time for each member and in between to remind of the
