Participants of a government-subsidy teachers’ training program PPG work on a learning tool at the boarding house of Jakarta Muhammadiyah University (UNJ) in Cireundeu, South Tangerang, Banten, on Saturday (28/4/2018).

Teachers are faced with many challenges every day. Apart from the requirement to master the school subjects they teach, they also need to be skillful in transferring their knowledge. In the face of students’ reluctance to be lectured, a number of teachers refuse to go by the book.

“Kids, do you know that chameleons change their colors to show their feelings?” asked Uswatun Hasanah, 38, of her 37 sixth-grade students at SD Rawajati 06 state elementary school in South Jakarta. Her students responded in unison, “Yes, we know, Ma’am!” Next, Uswatun wanted to find out whether her students could make the connection between the behaviors of chameleons and people.
