PACATANG, EVELYN S.
FS2 EPISODE 5
My Analysis
1. Based on your observations, as a whole was instruction teacher-centered or student-centered?
As a whole, the instruction was student-centered. Students are not just listening but they
participates actively and exchange ideas with their teacher. Since group work encourage
in student-centered approach the students are collaboratively working hand on hand with
their classmates that resulted into boosted performance.
2. Were there instances when the students could have been involved in class proceedings but
were not? Give examples/s.
No, because as the class progressed, the students were fully involved in the class
proceedings. The teacher delivered her lesson in such passion that the students were not
bored.
3. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the test?
Teaching purely subject matter for mastery may create a notion of competition, thus it
will create a competitive classroom atmosphere. The teacher should balance mastery and
in the subject matter and the affective side also.
4. If you were to reteach the class, would you be teacher-centered or student-centered? Why?
If I were to reteach the class, I will prefer the student-centered approach, it is more
effective and I like the fact that with this approach students are more interactive and
confident of themselves.
5. If you abide by the pedagogical approaches that the K to 12 Law states, will you be more
teacher-centered or student-centered in approach? Explain your answer.
Abiding by the pedagogical approaches that the K to 12 Law states, I will use more of the
student-centered approach in teaching. Student learn important communicative and
collaborative skills through group work. Students learn to direct their own learning, ask
questions and complete task independently. Students are more interested in learning
activities when they can interact with one another and participate actively.
My Learning Portfolio
1. With a graphic organizer, present the pedagogical approaches to the K to 12 Curriculum
as stated in RA 10533. Give the main features of each approach.
2. A student-centered approach is very interactive. Research on at least 3 teaching-learning
activities/techniques that can be used at the beginning or end of a lesson.
A.
Start of the lesson
The teacher started the lesson by stating and defining the lesson objective and what she
expects from the students after the lesson.
Development of the lesson
The teacher conducted a short review regarding the students’ previous topic and
experiences. She grouped the students for a more collaborative output.
Ending of the lesson
The teacher generalized and summarized the whole topic. She reassessed the students’
understanding (self-rating). She went back to the objective and assessed if what she expected
were acquired by the students.
B.
Start of the lesson
The teacher imparts and exchange ideas with his class about the objectives of their lesson.
Then he give the rules and regulation and do a review through a game.
Development of the lesson
The teacher conducted a charades game for the motivation and building up his lessons.
After that he then divide them into 5 groups for the 1 st activity. The teacher proceeds then the
discussions up to the 2nd activity which is also a game called “pass the action”
Ending of the lesson
The teacher generalized and summarized the whole topic. She reassessed the students’
understanding (self-rating). She ended with the class with a prayer.
C.
Start of the lesson
The teacher give warm-up tasks at the beginning of the lesson. It helps to shift the focus to
the students, encouraging active engagement from the start. The latecomers has an opportunity
to arrive before she start her new content. After she then give objectives of the lesson and her
expectation of the class.
Development of the lesson
The teacher ask effective questions that crucial to learning. She plan the questions
carefully to make her students engage into learning. After that, the teacher encourage her
students to ask questions and investigate their own ideas by giving them a problem to be solve
or hypothetical question to gain a deeper understanding of academic concept.
Ending of the lesson
The teacher generalized and summarized the whole topic. She reassessed the students’
Understanding by posting a notes and a prompt. She get the students to write five new things
they learnt today: What was the most difficult concept to understand in today’s class? What
do you still not understand?
My Reflections
Between teacher-centered and student-centered approach, the latter must be more
pedagogically sound because even R.A. 10533, the enhanced Basic education Act of 2013,
mandates it for K to 12. Write your reflections about it. Or is it better to use both approaches?
Answer:
In recent years, more teachers have moved towards a student-centered approach.
However, some students maintain that teacher-centered education is the ore effective strategy. In
most cases, it is best for teachers to use a combination of approaches to ensure that all student
needs are met. When both approaches are used together, students can enjoy the positives of both
types of education. Instead of getting bored with teacher-centered education or losing sight of
their goals in a completely student-centered classroom, pupils can benefit from a well-balanced
educational atmosphere.
