“THE TEACHER WE REMEMBER”

Name: CAÑETE, RIESSA JANE C. Course, Year & Section: BSED-SCIENCE A


Subject Name: Field Study 2 Professor: MS. GESILLE
VILLANUEVA

Notice:
 Your Resource Teacher comments, facial expression, gestures and actions in class
 Students’ comments, facial expression, gestures and behavior in class
 How your Resource Teacher relates to you?
 The classroom proceedings
 The classroom atmosphere- relaxed or threatening?

Analyze

1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asian Teachers Competency Standards and the
TEDs videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
 A great teacher act as a teacher. What does this mean? Act according to its
purpose. As a teacher it is our responsibility to teach our students. sounds easy
right? But, actually the teaching process is quite complicated. As a teacher, we
must know the different teaching and learning strategies and the appropriate
type of assessment to measure if our students were able to learn. When
problem occurs during the teaching and learning process then as a teacher it is
our duty to observe and determine to problem and be able to propose solution
to that specific situation. Scrutinize well our students, the learning
environment that is provided to them (internal and external environment), and
be able to relate to them. Additionally, a great teacher is a teacher who is
flexible. Changes just occur anytime. Adopt to changes and embrace it but if
ever there will be great problem to this change then propose another style
because a teacher is also a researcher. A researcher teacher is updated of the
dynamics of society that might affect the educational area.

2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?


 No. as a human who has the capacity to adjust then these different
competencies can also be applied to different areas.

3. For teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to


plan lesson, exercise a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and
report grades? Explain your answer.
 For a teacher to be great, it is NOT enough to possess the professional
competencies to lesson plan, exercising a lesson plan, managing a class,
assessing learning, computing and reporting grades for being a great teacher
has also something to do outside the four walled classroom. This includes our
relationship to the outside people of the classroom like our co-teachers, the
student’s parents, and the community where we belong itself. Being a great
teacher (for me) can able to interact, read, and assess the community to be
able to give what is necessary to be develop and sharpen to its students. Aside
that teachers have a great relationship of its community, we teacher must able
to have a full control of our selves. As I believe, if a person who does not
know himself/herself could have a difficulty in dealing with other people
especially to those outside of its safe zone.

4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important- personal qualities or


professional competencies?
 BOTH. Having well defined personal qualities and awareness to professional
competencies, if a person who has the passion to teach possess this both
qualities then there could be no issues to education industry. Professional
competencies are given but personal qualities are developed among ourselves.
So, if we have well defined personalities – especially to the area of education-
then we can be able to practice and exercise the different professional
competencies as a teacher.

5. Who are the teacher that we remember most?


 The teachers who we remember us the most are the teachers who bring more
IMPACT to us. The teacher who has showed what a teacher was supposed.
Passionate, caring, supportive and encouraging that students wasn’t able to
observe to no else but to that specific teacher. The teacher who had challenge
them and made them to who they are for now.

Reflect

- Which personal traits to I possess? Where do I need improvement in?

 I cannot tell yet. I guess I need to take a test that could probably tell me where
I am good at and where I need to improve. But as they say that we know more
about ourselves then the personal trait that I possess is ability to read the
environment and adjust to its need, I can also communicate well with my
colleagues, I listen to the rants of my co-students and to the area where I need
to improve is I guess be more knowledgeable to the teaching and learning
area. What I mean is the different styles and strategies. Books are quite
dissimilar to the actual but I guess having enough knowledge could give me
an insight to what might happened in the actual teaching and learning process.
- Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?
 The professional competencies I am strongly capable of is I guess be able to
communicate and relate with the community. I usually watched television
news and read updated and trending news on the internet so I am usually
updated of the different issues that might affect the educational system. By it,
this will help me in my adjustment toward my teaching and learning style.
Aside from that, being able to connect with the community could also be a
reminder to me of the basic skills and abilities that I should, as a teacher,
develop and grow among my students.

- In which competencies do I need to develop more?


 Knowing my students. in this area, it is not just about the theories and
principles and some testimonies and article based for knowing and be able
with the student requires and on-hand experience. Yet along the way as long
as the passion within me is still burning then I may able to slowly acquire this
skill and competency.

- Who are the teacher that we remember the most?


 The teacher we remember the most are those who had left and impact to
ourselves. They are carved forever to our heart and minds. The impact may
come in various ways like they were the one who were there when no one else
was or they had showed to us what a teacher is according to our own
definition.

presented in their titles?

Analyze

Action research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems to be full of problematic
situations and that the teacher has a responsibility of finding solutions for everyday
problems in school. Some teachers should do actions research. This is an exciting part of
being a teacher, a problem solver!
Let us continue to examine and analyze what you have noticed and interpreted in the
previous activity.

REFLECT
Based on the reading you made and previous activity you have done.
1. What significant ideas or concepts you learned about action research?
I learned that action research is about studying and observing her actual learning
environment, when there was an observed problem then the teacher becomes an
action researcher where he/she conduct a study to solve the existing problem.
Thus, action research is there for a continuous improvement in teaching and
learning environment.
2. Have you realized that there is a need to be an action researcher as a future
teacher?
Yes _/_ No __. If yes, complete the sentence below.
I realized that there is a need of action researcher in the future as a teacher for the
learning environment is a dynamic ground and thus this changes should be
adopted along the period of time. Being an action researcher as a teacher could
create and find the best possible action for this dynamics in education.

IMPROVING MATHEMATICS PERFORMANCE AMONG GRADE 11

STUDENTS THROUGH JIGSAW TECHNIQUE

II. ABSTRACT
This action research aimed to improve the mathematics performance of 56
Grade 11 students of Buug National High School students. Thirty-one or 55% scored the
average and poor level of mathematical skills in the Diagnostic Test. The researcher
addressed in improving mathematics performance using the Jigsaw technique. The results
of the study showed that the number of students who were within a poor level was
reduced in the Evaluation Test. There is a significant difference (p = 0.030) in the
Mathematics performance of Evaluation Test results between the lecture method and the
Jigsaw technique. The findings stressed that the results of the Evaluation Test of control
and treatment groSups have significant differences. It is proposed that teachers should
design activities through the Jigsaw technique to promote mathematics understanding by
having students practice, solve, manipulate, reason, and perform. Jigsaw technique may
help students make connections across mathematical skills and concepts, and other
disciplines. Following the Jigsaw technique activity, students should have time to discuss
how they perform in solving mathematical activities. With careful planning,
implementation, and evaluation mathematical activities can be achieved successfully by
most students.

VILLANUEVA

Notice

What concepts have been emphasized in the task and infographics? Give at least
four.

1. action research is a cyclical process that involves observation, analysis, act, and
reflection.
2. action research aids in the improvement of the teaching-learning process.
3. there would be no action research if there isn’t a problem.
4. a teacher is a researcher.

Since the 3 models are all for action research, what are the common elements of the
three?
- Problem to solve
- The action to the problem
- What had you learned in the process?

If you choose to compare with Model B-Nelson, O, 2014, here are the components
Title and Author of the Action Research: Supporting Self-Efficacy Toward Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics Skills in Secondary Students by Amy Kienberger & Clara Raineri
Key Components Entry from your Sample AR
OBSERVE The problem

What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how will these
be utilized in your practice?
 Action research follows a certain process in the making. This process serves as a
guide/ map to create a more productive and informational paper. Overall, the
concept of action paper has something do with improving the educational process
within the classroom. This concept then fires the burning desire within me in
improving the quality education in my country. Moreover, the change must start
first with myself so, I need to start now even in little by little steps.

Reflect

As a future teacher, is conducting an Action Research worth doing?


Why?
Yes, conducting an action research always serves with a purpose and this purpose has
something to do with innovating and improving the quality of education so once the
action research is done successfully then this would be so heartwarming.

How can AR be useful for every classroom teacher?


 Action research can give insights to classroom teacher on how they should handle
classes in a very specific situation.

OBSERVE

Remembering my classroom observations in FS 1, I noticed that there are many


questions that I raised in my mind. These include:
a. Why do students tend not to actively participate during online class?
b. What more activities should I practice to catch the attention of my students during
online class?
c. Is the flow of presentation of the teacher not enough to make the class participate
more?

REFLECT
Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to
solve the problem or answer the question, like:
a. Calling names randomly to ask a certain question to give little excitement among
the students
b. Making little games during online class to catch the attention of the students
c. Teacher being assessed by their respective classes
PLAN
Now, that I am in FS 2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem B because this
is more of an exploratory type of action research and that I could implement various
types of verified exciting attention seeking activities and then be evaluated by my
students if which type of style do they preferred.

ACT
My action will come later, given enough time FS 2 or during my Teaching Internship.

MATCHING PROBLEMATIC LEARNING SITUATION


WITH PROBABLE ACTION
Name: CAÑETE, RIESSA JANE C. Course, Year & Section: BSED-SCIENCE A
Subject Name: Field Study 2 Professor: MS. GESILLE
VILLANUEVA

PRACTICE AND ASSIST


What five problems have you identified form the words that you have encircled?
Make a statement. Write in the space below.

The problem I identified are:


1. Students
2. Bullying
3. Absenteeism
4. Module
5. Poverty

Suppose, the problem you have spotted is: COMPREHENSION

How can you assist a mentor, after knowing that the learners have difficulty in
comprehension?
Explain: conducting a tutorial to the students having difficulty in comprehension could
be helpful in tracking the students’ progress by yourself. This would also encourage the
student to learn since it is you who is there thus could also enhance his/her self-esteem in
the area that he/she is weak. Moreover, conducting a tutorial is really an advantageous
action for you can teach the step by step process to your student by yourself. As a teacher
you know on what area your student is having a hard time so if it is you yourself who will
conduct the tutor then you know where you will focus in developing to that student and
student can ask question directly to the teacher on where they are having difficulty.

The Problem is: The Action is:

Difficulty in Conduct a tutorial


comprehension in

Can you also choose B: show a video lesson as a SOLUTION for the same
PROBLEM?
Explain: aside from conducting tutorial, video lessons that are engaging and interactive
could also help students with difficulty in comprehension. When students find interest to
the video lessons that he/she is watching, then this could help and improve them in the
area that they are weak. Students who are visual learners could really enjoy in this area
but of course showing videos also need an assistance since the student cannot ask
question to the video.

The Problem is: The Action is:


Difficulty in Show video lessons
comprehension of

What about letter C as a solution to the same PROBLEM? Why? You could also
make learning task by yourself to the students with difficulty in comprehension of the
subject. The advantage of this method is you make a learning tasks that you know he/she
is having the most difficulty. Yet, this kind of method really need some dedication or else
you cannot make the best type of learning tasks.
The Problem is: The Action is:

Difficulty in Make learning tasks to


comprehension of improve comprehension

Interestingly, isn’t it? Now, you can assist your mentor by identifying observed problems
in the class and suggest actions to be done.

NOTICE
What have you noticed of the problem identified above? Can there be more than
one solution to the problem?
Exactly, there are more than one solution to every problem. Explain: this only implies
that a single problem has many exploratory option or solution. By this we can observe
which solution gives the best result. By practicing those option, we can also determine on
where are in that option we can improve to have the best improvement to among students
having problems or even the teachers who are encountering difficulty in their teaching
career.

A creative and innovative teacher can find one more than one solution or answer to the
same problem. Each solution matches with the problem. The more solutions identified to
choose from, the better for an action researcher.
ANALYZE
Let us try to look into the following scenario in the daily life of a teacher. This
scenario might also be similar to the class you have observed and noticed.
Scenario A: Miss Fely is a grade four teacher in a typical elementary school. She has
forty learners in her class. One half of them cannot classify animals
into vertebrates and invertebrates. She has been repeating the same
science lesson for two weeks, yet no progress was observed. This
situation has been bothering Miss Fely.

 Can you identify, Miss Fely’s problem? One half of Ms. Fely’s students cannot
classify animals into vertebrates and invertebrates thus repeating the science
lesson for two weeks.

 Can you find a solution to her problem? YES, Give two suggestions.
a. Show illustration of different animals identified as vertebrates and
invertebrates.
b. Give video lessons for vertebrates and invertebrates animals.

 What solution can solve Miss Fely’s problem? The two suggestions can solve
the problems.
How? this kind of problem requires illustration to be able to visualize and
identified the animals that are vertebrates and invertebrates thus giving them these
kind of solution to the problem could help them improve in that area.
Are they matched with the problem? Definitely yes.
Scenario B: Sir Ryan teaches in a disadvantaged urban community. Most of his
learners come from families that are disrupted, either with single
parents or with guardians who stand only as parents. They are deprived
of the necessary food, clothing, and shelter.
 Can you identify the most problematic teaching-learning problem/s in the
class of Sir Ryan?
a. Sir Ryan’s learners are in a disrupted type of family thus putting the learners in
not so healthy environment.
b. Sir Ryan’s learners were also deprived of necessary food, clothing and shelter.

 Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problem that you have
identified?
 Ask help from the higher authorities on what possible help they can offer to
these kind of family where my learners belong.
 Do some solicitation and buy that solicited money with the necessary needs
for my learners.
 Invite professionals into that area and do some check-up and other health
related help they can offer.
 Conduct counseling to the disrupted families where my learners belong.

The teacher is not only limited within the four walled classroom. Problematic
students usually got their problems from their family’s environment thus a
teacher who is also community-oriented could offer some help to these kind of
family to develop a healthy environment to the learners.

REFLECT
After reading the two scenarios given above, how would identifying problematic
situations and finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better
teacher?
Explain: being able to identify problems and propose options to those problems requires
crucial analysis and being able to implement those solutions to the problems really shows
how great a teacher you are. Not all people cares about their learners and you who got
that courage is very inspiring move that could even inspired more educators to be like
you who cares more about its learners and environment.

Title of Action Research:
Improving Mathematics Performance among Grade 11 Students Though
Jigsaw Technique

Author/s:
Pede I. Casing, MAEd

Abstract:
This action research aimed to improve the mathematics performance of 56
Grade 11 students of Buug National High School students. Thirty-one or 55%
scored the average and poor level of mathematical skills in the Diagnostic Test.
The researcher addressed in improving mathematics performance using the
Jigsaw technique. The results of the study showed that the number of students
who were within a poor level was reduced in the Evaluation Test. There is a
significant difference (p = 0.030) in the Mathematics performance of Evaluation
Test results between the lecture method and the Jigsaw technique. The findings
stressed that the results of the Evaluation Test of control and treatment groups
have significant differences. It is proposed that teachers should design activities
through the Jigsaw technique to promote mathematics understanding by having
students practice, solve, manipulate, reason, and perform. Jigsaw technique may
help students make connections across mathematical skills and concepts, and
other disciplines. Following the Jigsaw technique activity, students should have
time to discuss how they perform in solving mathematical activities. With careful
planning, implementation, and evaluation mathematical activities can be achieved
successfully by most students.

Subject Name: Field Study 2 Professor: MS. GESILLE VILLANUEVA
Participate and Assist
What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning
environment in the following condition:
1. Bulletin Board Display
By assisting my mentor in designing and making a timely and attractive
bulletin board. I can also offer suggestions in the process.

2. Small Group Discussion


During small discussions I can assist my mentor by monitoring each group if
they are working on their task, this include answering some queries that I am
aware regarding their discussion to clear some misconception.

3. Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e. google meet or


zoom)
I can assist by volunteering to my mentor in the attendance checking

Notice

Learning Environment 1:

 What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What
message or theme does it convey?
 The display in the bulletin board are announcements and reports which are
information and arranged accordingly.

 What makes it attractive to the learners?


 There are variations of color and information in the bulletin board and
another is the information there is timely.

 Does it help in the learning process?


 Some displays on the bulletin board are based on the theme of the month
being celebrated, let us say it is September which is a Science Month so the
teacher tends to decorate the bulletin board based on it with various
information and trivia related to that month and I consider them a tool for
the learning process specially if the board is attractive and the learners read
all the information in the board.

How? simple, when the students read what are on the bulletin board, just
encourage them.

Learning Environment 2:
 If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules,
where is most likely the learning space of the students?
 Home. Public spaces like parks or library (if there is) or even under the
trees

 Can you describe?


 these places are not only composed of students, there are family members
and strangers. Unlike the classroom, this another learning environment may
not be conducive to learning due to some external disturbances like noises
and the temptation to procrastinate since it is you who is in control of the
entire time.

 How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for
learning?
 Have some consultation and visitation to my students with regards to their
new learning environment.

Analyze

The example above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that
the learners are in the same room or space while in the second, the learners
maybe in different learning space like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases
parks or under the trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for
learning? Choose between Learning Environment 1 or Learning
Environment 2.
Explain your choice: why?
I would choose the Learning Environment 1. In this learning environment,
I can totally manage and control my students since they are under my care
in the classroom which would become helpful in my part because I can
observe on who among my students are having difficulty since I can see it
thru their expression and action which is a complete opposite of the
learning environment 2 which is a challenge for you cannot see the
students and it is the learners who are in control of their time and
environment.

Reflect

Based on my noticing and analysis, I realized that

a. With the onset of the pandemic, the educational system had cope with the
changes and were able to deal this pandemic by the flexible type of
learning which may include the modular and on-line. This may be a
challenge but with this the leaders of education can look for solutions to
better improve the system and to explore more of the many possibilities in
learning.
b. Students in the new learning environment may had experience various
challenges in the beginning of this case but as time goes on they were able
to cope and there were also some institutions that aid in this difficulty.
c. Teachers and learners and on hand-in-hand in making learning possible
despite the pandemic.

Participate and Assist

Given the concept and the infographics, how can you participate and assist in a face-to-
face learning environment?
The infographics demonstrate the common type of learning environment while the
second infographics is the enhance learning environment which is more collaborative and
coordinating. I can participate and assist by monitoring the learning environment
condition in everyday classes by this I may able to suggest some possible problems to
solve that could enhance the teaching-learning process.

Notice
Having been exposed to the traditional classrooms in your basic education, it
seems that everything is familiar. However, as teaching-learning theories evolve over
time there are changes that are taking place.
What changes have you noticed in face-to-face spaces?

Classroom Environment Before Classroom Environment Now


- Teacher moderates and regulates - Teachers are more of a facilitator
the flow of information and
knowledge
- Face-to-face learning - Flexible learning
- Students are working - Collaborative and cooperative
independently learning

Analyze

What do you think brought the changes in the face-to-face learning


environment now?
By the dynamic society that we live, so the learning environment adjust in order
to supply the demand of the changing society. As of now, with the current onset
of the covid-19 the traditional type of learning become flexible – like modular,
online or blended learning. The traditional classroom environment turns into web-
conferencing, and students stays at home rather than at schools.

From the changes that you identified, choose one that you can do. How will
you do it?
I can do the blended learning- combination of online and modular learning. I just
simply need to attend the required no. of times in attending online class and
answer the given modules of the professors.

Reflect

Do you think making the classroom environment conducive for face-to-face


classroom will enable the learners to achieve better learning outcomes?
Yes, as I experience the new learning environment I then realized how best it is if it in a
face-to-face setting. In online learning you must be highly self-motivated and disciplined,
it is you who is on track of everything while in a face-to-face to become excited to visit
school and meet your classmates and friends and learn together. Classes in a face-to-face
setting is more of a collaborative ad thus as a group you learn rather than to struggle on
yourself in an online setting.

OBSERVE
What common problem have I noticed in a face-to-face learning environment?
Lack of individual student’s attention

Can I translate this problem into a question?


How can I cater all my students in the class?

REFLECT
How would I solve the problem?
By forming group activities

Will it improve my teaching? Yes, forming groups would give me a hints on who
among my students are low performing thus I could place them in the average and
high performing students for them to improve.

PLAN
What will I do to solve the problem? Describe briefly how will you do it?
Based on the problem I will rearrange the classroom setting into circles of
chairs. This will lessen the being too much competitiveness among my students
for they will work together as a team rather than individual. Quarterly, I will
regroup the class with the combination of low, average and high performing
students. I will record the results for two grading’s and compare results and
decide later if situation could still be able to apply by the next period.

virtual class. During the class on Google Meet, it was his avenue for the topic
discussion and where the students can actively participate the discussion. Students
are given the chance to speak when needed and share their inner thoughts related
to the topic. As for the Google Classroom, it was the main app for the task
submission and where the learning materials are posted. As we assisted his class,
we were the ones who facilitated the online recitation where there are only
numbers of students in the google meet to answer the questions and when done
then they can leave the meet. Due to limited participation and assistance to the
resource teacher we only had little experience with this matter.

__ others Google Meet
What tasks did you participate or assist in? fill out the table below.

What components or parts were present in Under these LMS components or parts,
the LMS used by the teacher? what tasks did you participated/assist in?
Google classroom was utilized as an
avenue for classwork submission and
where the modules and important learning
materials are attached. The apps do serve
also as an announcement area for it is
where future quizzes and exams are
posted. This also allows the students to
view comments and scores related to their
submitted tasks.
Google meet serves as the virtual class
meeting. It is where the teachers were
able to meet his students and discuss the
lesson by sharing screen. Important
announcements were also disseminated
through the meeting. Students can turn
their mic and voice on.

NOTICE
After you participated or assisted in the LMS, describe what you observed
and experienced by answering the items below.
1. Describe the encounter of the LMS utilized by the teacher. How was it
organized? What main components did you find?
- The teacher can manipulate the deadline of the task in the google
classroom, this means that he can monitor students who submitted on time
and those who submitted late. The LMS he was utilizing is organize. If the
students are having difficulty in the submission process, then the teachers
send tutorials for them to be guided. As for the google meet, it was helpful
and easy to understand. if you turn off your audio and camera for the
whole session you can save cellular data which was helpful for students
who has limited internet connection. The platform has a comment section
and a blackboard to disseminate info as well as an option for screen
sharing whenever the teacher has to present in another tab.
2. How was the content taught or delivered? What were the learning
activities arranged? What strategies did the teacher or you can use to
help students attain the objectives/outcomes?
- The content was taught and delivered through screen sharing the PPT of
the teacher to the class in the virtual platform. The discussion was
spontaneous, the teacher would pause every after the major topic to ask
students for their reactions and questions. The teacher sends ahead the
discussion some videos in the google classroom for them to watch on their
own and ask certain questions for clarification to the video provided
ahead.

3. What was your experience in participating and assisting?


- It was plain and simple. Nothing out of the ordinary. But, at least we
experience it.

ANALYZE
1. What do you think are the best feature of the LMS that the teacher used?
how did these features help the students learn the content?
- Dashboard
- Module container
- Announcements
- Discussion board
- Meeting rooms
- Assignments
- People
- Assessment/quizzes
- Resources/ add-ons
- Those features were really helpful to students in this distance learning
time. Those features were the avenue for students to learn the lesson.

2. How did the teacher or you use the LMS to implement the strategies /
activities planned?
- The LMS becomes the bridge between the teacher and the students in this
distance learning. So, the class was still made possible and the activities
planned were also delivered.

3. How did this connect with what you know about LMS and TPACK?
- TPACK acts as the guide or a set of criteria on what appropriate LMS to
use for the class. A successful use of the TPACK plus the best LMS used
would give the best results for the teacher and the students.
4. What problem or challenges did the teacher/ you or the students encounter in
working with the LMS? How did it/they affect the teacher/learners? What
part/s of the LMS do you think can still be improved? How can this/these be
improved?
- Some students were confused on submitting the task through the google
classroom. This may cause delay on the task submission who what the
teacher did was to send tutorials on how to use the LMS. So far the current
LMS was great enough to the needs of the students and teachers and to
some point they exceeded my expectations for there are still some features
I am not aware of.

REFLECT
7. how ready am I in organizing and using LMS?
- From the rate of 1 to 10, I’m in 9 out of 10. Features are easy to learn. You
just need to watch some tutorials and a constant practice would result to
mastery of the LMS.

8. Enumerate the knowledge, skills and attitudes you already have to organize
your virtual learning environment and use and LMS:
Content: for the content mastery, I am an eager learner so I can cope
easily with the kind of topic to be discussed.
Pedagogical: getting the attention of my students can be learn through
experience, anyways with the current sense of humor I had can catch their
attention. I also have little attention seeking clapping’s for them.
Technological: I can learn fast in learning different LMS through
tutorials, I can also use different guide like the pedagogical wheel method
in choosing apps for teaching-learning.

9. What do you still need to learn in order to use the LMS effectively?
- Choosing the best LMS to use is quite critical and needs a lot of time to
think of, this is the area I need to learn best.

Resource of Reference about the Topic Key points/findings in what
I read
 According to a DepEd
“In the Philippines, distance learning reveals survey, about 20% of the
the digital divide” 6.5 million students with
by Anna P. Santos internet access are online
using computer stores and
https://eu.boell.org/en/2020/10/06/philippines- other public places. To

no way for 2.8 million
students to go online. This
is especially common in
rural areas, where 53% of
the population lives and
both internet access and
speed can be a challenge.
Additionally, according to
state government data, less
than 30% of students have
internet access, and off-the-
grid schools have about 600
students, including schools
in remote island villages
without electricity. It can be
accessed by boat.
A recent study by members
“Internet access major challenge among of the Philippine National
teachers: study” Research Council (NRCP)
revealed that Internet access
by Ma. Cristina Arayata for teachers across the
country remains a major
challenge in the face of the
https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1149250 2019 coronavirus disease

"The results of this study
tell DepEd about project
systems and strategies that
promote work-life balance
between teachers and the
transition to ‘new normal',"
said Marietas Magaisai,
managing director of
NRCP. Says.
"This study provided a
picture of the plight that
teachers face when
implementing emergency
learning options," said
Sumagaysay.

Sarmiento said the NRCP


recommends that teachers
should be given more
internet connection budgets.
In addition, carriers and
equipment distributors must
offer teachers special
discounts and payment
arrangements.

way to move forward is to
take a step back and develop
a strategy that involves
teachers, students, parents,
school managers, and

community unity, De Vera
is a way to deal with
pandemics and ensure that
"learning must continue" in
these difficult times.
Explain that you need to
find. We are ready
"(DeVera, 2020b).
To support these statements,
CHEd worked with the
university to provide the
following mechanism:
"Innovation in the context
of the University of
Philadelphia" with (1) free
training and capacity
building for faculty with
flexible learning themes, (2)
introduction of the online

the country and is
considered the first of its
kind in the history of CHEd.
Through these efforts, De
Vera argues that the
educational challenges
posed by the COVID 19
pandemic can be overcome
"only when we educate and
learn together" (De Vera,
2020a). However, these
learning innovations are
based on a deeper
understanding of distance

42. During a two-hour online synchronous class, the Science teacher taught about
centripetal and centrifugal forces. She did not introduce the learning goals for the
session. She shared on screen the first PowerPoint she found on the internet and
lectured about the topic to students without engaging them to participate. They
were passive the whole time. Some students turned off their cameras. She ended
the class with a quiz on the topic. The teacher did NOT effectively demonstrate
which essential element?

topic, the teacher explained to the students one learning outcomes which for them
to analyze the current situational factors that may impede and hasten the
Philippines’ goal of attaining herd immunity. Another learning outcome was for
students to articulate suggestions on how the Philippines will succeed in this goal.
The teacher provided readings ahead of time and also placed the links on the chat
box. She allotted time for the students to go to the small group meeting rooms she
arranged on the web conferencing app for discussion. Later, the students went

VILLANUEVA

PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST


(note to Student Teacher: as you participate and assist your CT in doing
formative assessment and in helping students engage in self-assessment, please take
note of what you are expected to give more attention to as asked in the next step of
this Learning Episode.
(NOTICE)
1. Assist you CT in the conduct of formative assessment
2. Offer your assistance to students to engage in self-assessment through
your CT

NOTICE
Take notice of:
 The alignment of different formative assessment tasks used in the
learning outcomes
 The students’ participation, behavioral response, comments in the
formative assessment tasks
 How the students assess their own progress?
 Our own feelings and thoughts as you assisted your CT:
- Formulate the formative assessment tasks
- Administer formative assessment tasks

ANALYZE
 Did the formative assessment tasks help students master what they were
expected to learn?
- The kind of formative assessment our resource teacher decided
to utilized was Q&A recitation. With this type of assessment,
the students then able to comprehend the discussion well which
was the results of the recitation for students were able to
answer the random questions.

 Was students’ response to formative assessment exercise favorable or


unfavorable? Why?
- The results show favorable among students. aside that students
were able to learn what was expected for them, they were able
also to enjoy the activity with a little suspense.

 Did the conduct of formative assessment and self-assessment affect students’


attainment of learning outcomes? How?
- Absolutely yes. The students are aware that an assessment will
be given after the discussion, they will then assess themselves
if they already had enough information about the topic and if
not then they are required to do review or study by themselves
about the topic. This will enhance the kind of development
among students on how they handle they academic affairs and
themselves.

 What was the effect of students assessing their own progress on their
motivation to learn?
- This will enhance their academic responsibility handling and
decision making process. aside that they will be aware of their
strengths and weaknesses is that they can develop possible
ways on how to handle those by themselves.

REFLECT

How would attainment of learning outcomes be affected if there were no


formative assessments nor self-assessments?
- If there would be no formative assessment nor self-assessment,
then attainment of learning outcomes would surely be affected.
Those type of assessment provides an earlier statistic on the
learner’s strengths and weaknesses. This will then lead to the
adjustment of the teaching-learning being utilized by the
teacher. The earlier the problem is determined then the better it
will be solved.

WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS


This part allows you to synthesize or put together what you noticed, analyzed
and reflected on to come up with a possible topic to explore for an action research.

OBSERVE
1. One thing that went well in the development / use / administration of
formative assessment tasks (assessment for learning) is the awareness
level of the teacher on the capacity of the students and how she was able
to deal with those differences.

2. One thing that did not go well in the development / use /


administration of formative assessment tasks (assessment for
learning) is some students were not aware that there would an assessment
due to some barriers in the distance learning.

3. One good thing observed in students’ self-assessment (assessment as


learning) is it increase the responsibility in themselves. Knowing where
you’re good at will develop interest to go further about the topic and
knowing where you find it most difficult will then require you be more
attentive to your teacher’s discussion or to study it by yourself.

4. One thing in students’ self-assessment (assessment as learning) that


needs improvements based on what were observed is on how they
should deal with the kind of responsibility that is accompanied in being
aware of their strengths and weaknesses.

REFLECT
The formative assessment activities went well because they had interest and it
was fun. The teacher handles well the kind of assessment. The instruction was
well delivered.

The formative assessment activities process did not go well because _________

For the students, self-assessment worked because _____________

For the students, self-assessment did not work because ____________


PLAN
To help improve formative and self-assessment practices, I plan to conduct
and action research on the effectivity of formative assessment and self-
assessment in student’s overall performance.

VILLANUEVA

PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST


We said at the beginning that all teacher can make an Action Research. It is easy
to do it. Let’s try doing it today, you shall develop a Plan for an Action Research by
following the simple cycle.

Use the following steps of the model. Your answer to the Key Questions in each
step, will guide you in making your plan.

 Step 1: OBSERVE. Observe and notice to identify the common problems.


Key questions:
- What common problem have I observed and noticed?
- Can I translate the problem into questions?
- Why is the problem important to the learners?
- What have I read and learned about this problem in my previous courses?
- What do references say about the problem?

 Step 2: REFLECT. Start to reflect on the identified problem. However,


reflection is done all throughout the action research process.
Key questions:
- Is there a way to solve the identified problem? How will I do it?
- Is looking for a solution or answer to the problem worth doing?
- Will solving the problem improve my teaching practice? How?
- Will it improve my skill as a researcher and reflective teacher?

 Step 3: PLAN FOR ACTION. Appropriate action or solution to the problem


in a plan.
Key questions:
- What probable action will I make? Will my intervention be doable?
- How will I describe my intervention, innovation, or action to address the
identified problem?
- How long will it take to implement the intervention, action or innovation?
- With whom shall I work with?
- Will the result be of use? How?
 Step 4: ACT on the PLAN. This step will be done during the Teaching
Internship or in FS 2 if given the time. You may collaborate with your
mentor or your classmate.

NOTICE

Remember: Noticing is making sense of your observations and making interpretations


to adapt to the situation. It begins with paying attention that leads to interpretation and
deciding what action should be taken.

Making a capsule Action Research Plan will prepare you to undertake an actual
Action Research. You will be able to assist your mentor to do similar research together.
In the past episodes focusing on the key aspects of teaching and learning, you
have answered the Action Research Writing Prompts. Go back to these, and choose
which episode topic you would like to work as you write your action research plan.

ANALYZE
We said at the beginning that all teachers could make an Action Research. It is
easy to do it. Let’s try doing it. Today, you shall develop a Plan for our Action
Research by following the simple cycle. You will share your output with your
mentor for an opportunity to work together.

Topic you choose: (form the past episode) ____________


Episode number and Title: ___________________
Writing Action Research Prompts page: ___________________

Model A:

Activity 1: Developing an Initial Research Action Plan

A. Observed / Notice
What problem/concern have I noticed that affect teaching-learning?
Example response: The problem I have noticed is that there is a lot of
competition in the classroom. The slow learners are left behind.

 Write your own observed/. noticed classroom problem here:


________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can
the slow learners be helped? How will it be done?
Example response: I think most of the activities are very competitive. There are
always winners and losers. The smart students overrule the poor students thus
often they continue to be losers. With this situation, I believe that I should
modify my classroom strategy.

 Write your reflective response to the problem you stated:


________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________

C. Plan for Action


Key Questions:
- What will I do as a teacher to solve the problem?
- How will I describe my intervention, innovations, or action to the identified
problem?
- How long will I take to introduce the intervention?
- With whom shall I work?
- What materials do I need?
- Are methods, participants, data collection, time table considered in my Plan
for Action?

Example response: My plan is to introduce cooperative learning in the


classroom. I create a mixed ability grouping with fast, average and slow
learners in their activities. I will rotate the leadership in the group, so that
each one will have a chance. The bright will assist or help the slow ones. I
will try this out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone with my students. I
need only tables and chairs or if not available, arm chairs arranged in circles
will be an alternative.

 Write your Plan of Action Research based on the key questions. You give more
details.
