MODULE 1: INTRODUCTION TO MULTIGRADE TEACHING

Lesson 1: THE MULTIGRADE PROGRAM IN PHILIPPINE EDUCATION


A. Introductory Activity
My thoughts about the picture:
1.) It practice the multigrade education method where a teacher conducts classes to primary
students of multiple grade level in a single room.
2.) I noticed that it is challenging when it comes to the classroom management. In the picture,
four students on the side are raising their hands and the other one is not literally active but, also
listening to their teacher.
3.) Teacher need to have more activities or energizer for the active participation of the class. As I
noticed in the picture, if you are becoming or future multigrade teacher, you need to be well
oriented, hardworking, effortless, and creative. Because the case there is not just one grade level,
it is focus on the situation where you can experience teaching mixed grade level. Different
attitude, behavior, and abilities of the learners.

Questions:
1. Which of the given scenarios describe a multigrade school? Why?
For me, the first scenario describes the multigrade school. As the first scenario said, the term
remote area is important policy option for providing access to education for learners in
remote areas multi-grade teaching needs to be recognized as such and be given the attention
it deserves. But I think the scenario 2 is more realistic in terms of place like Balabac can be
found far across the city of Puerto Princesa City.
2. Based on your answer in question #1, what is a multigrade school?
Based on my answer in question #1, the multigrade school can be defined as schools where
groups of students of different grades are taught in a single classroom. In most cases, in a
multigrade school or classroom pupils of two or more grades are taught by one teacher.
Multigrade school are considered to play an important role on providing access to education
for all in remote, isolated and underdeveloped rural areas.
3. Are the situations about real in the Philippine setting? Is the practice rational? Why?
In my own opinion, it is a yes. Because here in Palawan, Puerto Princesa City. The
multigrade method education is very applicable in terms of the learning outcomes of the
students. It is applicable to schools located in mountainous areas where school teachers are
scare and are forced to teach many grade levels simultaneously. Balabac is very far to the
city and the situation there is very sad not literally but figuratively. I don’t underestimate
their kind of learning but, I used the term I believe in their teaching method or education their
and also to the teachers who assigned in Balabac, they do their job with passion and love.
Balabac is the place where there’s no direct connection from Balabac to Puerto Princesa City.
It is the end of the Palawan South.
Reflection Activity (4-stanza poem)
You want to be in a gang
And shoot up everything with a bang
You say they'll have your back
But education is what you lack

Education is the key to life


And not getting stabbed with a knife
Education will lead you to great heights
And not to everyday fights

Education will help you excel


Not lead you to a county jail
You won't find yourself doing ten
In any county pen

Or being charged with first degree murder


In a court of order
And as your family wail
You're getting life without bail

Be in a gang and stay there for keeps


You'll find yourself underground six feet deep
So instead of being laid to rest
Get an education and be the best.
