V.ACTIVITY

Directions: Answer the following questions. Develop your answers in paragraph form.

1. What problems may be encountered during the teaching learning process?

Teaching learning process is defined as a transformation process of knowledge from teacher to students
from a more knowledgeable individual to an individual who seek for more learning. As a student right
now and a future educator the problems that I encounter and experience as a student is the uniqueness
of every individual specially in learning style.Llearner are unique from one another there are people who
easily grasp in just a few explanation of a teacher while the other will have experience difficulties in
understanding the lesson. I read in an article that one of the problem that acquire in teaching learning
process is the problems of knowledge retention, inadequate grasp of concepts and poor application of
learned principles to new situations, i.e. prior knowledge and knowledge transfer. Like I said learner are
different from one another while some of them are enjoyed studying the other might feel pressure and
depress as they question their capabilities as a learner.
 2. How may the quality of teaching improve?

In my view to improve the quality of teaching is through building a harmoniously environment for
learners, wherein it will be easy for them to approach their teachers. It also improved the quality of
teaching if you will clear to the learner that learning is not a competition between student and teacher.
How? By recognizing the achievements and accomplishment of your student. I also believe that to
improve the quality of teaching teacher should make sure that the class will always be entertaining to
avoid boredom of the student. Jolly and entertaining class atmosphere where set an easy and
approachable ambiance for the student to participate during discussion. By doing that you’re not just
making them enjoyed learning but also building their confidence and I guess boosting the confidence of
a student is one of the lifelong learning that you can teach to them.

V. ACTIVITY

Directions: Analyze the given list of basic principles and strategies in teaching.

1. Compare them with the previous ones applied by your former teachers.

As I analyze the principle and strategies in teaching I ask to compare them with the previous ones
applied by my former professor or teacher, but I could say mostly of those strategies and principle are
being used of my previous and current professor. Every first day of the class most of them are asking us
what is our prior knowledge on our subject or course. They are making us, share during the first hour of
the class. In terms of motivation a lot of my teachers are relating our courses in real life situation they
also shared their achievements to make us inspire in becoming a more successful individual in the
future. In organizing knowledge I could say that if students are different from one another the teacher is
also unique from each other. I have teacher who is really good in teaching buy just listening on what
they say I always taught a lot from them every end of the class. I also had teacher who is inspirable on
what he experience in life but despite those things he become a good and well know teacher. They are
different in organizing knowledge for us to learn but those strategies are the same because at the end
they success on their which we learned from them. In developing mastery in skills my previous and
current professor used to let us experience it personally in activities and from those tasks they gave to
us individually. At the end of my course I think one of the important strategies that my teacher used is
when they let us experience things that we are surely encountered in the future without their guide and
support and by doing that we are equipped to conquer those challenges and struggle in life and I thank
them for doing that.

2. What do you notice?

What I notice is those principle and strategies are similar to what my other teacher used it looks like it’s
a standard for every teacher to use those strategies to be able to become efficient and effective teacher
for their student.

3. Research on other effective principles and teaching strategies.

Some of the effective principle and teaching strategies that I found in internet are Develop mastery
learning which build automatic fluency in key concept. Don’t dismiss knowledge as ‘lower order’, Except
excellence from all, Guide learning, Ensure that student have to think hard, Put deliberate practice into
lesson, Test to improve learning, and Use questioning frequently and rigorously.
