MODULE FIELD STUDY 2

Episode 2: Learning Objectives as my Guiding Star

My Map

I will observe at least 3 different classes. Pay close attention to what the
Resource Teacher does it teach and what the learners to learn.

To hit my Target, I will work my way through these steps:

Step 1: Review the “Guiding Principles in Determining and Formulating Learning


Objectives” found in Principles of Teaching 1, 2007 by Corpuz, Band G. Salandanan.

Step 2: Observe a class with a learning partner. My focus this time is on lesson or
learning objectives

Step 3: I will identify evidence of applications of principles of learning. I can cite more
than one evidence per principle of learning

Step 4: Write down my answers to the questions

Step 5: Reflect on my observation

1. As I observe a class, I will use the Observation Sheet for a more focused
observation.

OBSERVATION SHEET

Name of the Resource Teacher Observed:

1. Begin with the end of mind. 1. The Resource Teacher began her
lesson by starting her objective.

2. Share lesson objective with students. 2. Letting students know what’s the
lesson objective then making them
discover more in their own.

3. Lesson objectives must be in the 2 or 3 3. The Resource Teacher give his/her

affective. The teacher also, before starting her
discussion, ask some questions to recap
the previous lesson as well as giving
quizzes in the end of the lesson.
4. Work on significant and relevant lesson
objectives. 4. The resource teacher tackled his/her
lesson in relation to every individual
experience in life, specifically his/her
students. The teacher asks some
questions or give an example which
students can relate, understand, and

interesting and lively where everyone can

questioning where they can share their
thoughts and ideas to one another.

1. After observing your Resource Teacher teaches, write down what you think
was/were her lesson objective.

As I observe during the class of one of my resource Teacher, Teacher


Carolyn Sampaga, I guess her lesson objective is to be able the students to write
about the summary or important details/events from chapter 1-10 of the novel El
Filibusterismo written by Jose Rizal.

2. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for you to copy her lesson objective
for the day’s lesson. Copy it here then compare it with your answer in #2. Are
they the same? Different?

The original lesson objective of Teacher Carolyn Sampaga was ‘’Pagsulat


ng mahahalagang impormasyon sa bawat kabanata (1-10) ng El Filibusterismo’’.
From what I observe, I think my answer in question number 2 is quite the same
in the real lesson objective of my resource teacher.

My Analysis

1. If answer in #3 above is different, what is your conclusion regarding written
lesson objective and actual lesson development? Are lesson objectives in the
lesson plan always followed? Do they really serve as a guiding star?

Though the answer in number 3 didn’t differ from the answer in number 2, yet, I
believe that not all the lesson objectives in the lesson plan were always followed. As
what I had learned from my report about the lesson plan, a lesson plan shouldn’t like
a rule to be followed in accord to what rules that’s been state but instead, it should
be use as an aid on teaching. It should serve as a guidance only for the teachers to
know what will they going to teach for that day.

2. Why did you find it easy/difficult to write down the Resource Teacher’s lesson
objective for the? Did she mention it at the beginning of her/his lesson?

I find it easy to write down the Resource Teacher’s lesson objective for
that day because she did mention it in the beginning of her lesson/discussion.

3. Did you find the lesson objectives SMART? Why or why not?

Yes, I consider the lesson objective of my resource teacher as SMART


one because, first of all, it can be done or attain in the time allotted for that
lesson. Students can easily analyze or understand what would be their lesson. It
helps also in the learning of the students in terms of developing either their
cognitive, psychomotor and affective domain.

4. Was the lesson objective in the cognitive or psychomotor or affective domain? Or


it was it in the two or three domains? Support your answer.

With that lesson objective, I see that it will fall under cognitive and
psychomotor domain because as what you read in the lesson objective, it refers
to the ability of the students to recall, think and analyze. It could develop also the
writing skills of the students.

My Reflections

Any lessons learned or insights gained from your observation focused on lesson
objectives? Write them down here. Are lesson objectives truly the guiding star in the

Page | 4
development of a lesson? Or are lesson objectives sometimes forgotten as the lesson
develops?

It is said that before doing such things, you need to find out first what are
your objectives. Objectives are part of the teacher’s discussion. Though it is only
an objective, it plays a greater role in our teaching process. We shouldn’t
underestimate its usefulness because as far as we know, lesson objectives
serve as a guidance in our whole discussion. Through it, we are able to teach
what we intend to teach without misleading. Yet, we should know that there are
things we need to consider in making lesson objectives. That a lesson objective
must be definite, relative, developmental, and SMART. However, having a
perfect or very good objective is enough. The goodness of the totality of result
depends on how much you work out with your objectives.
