FIELD STUDY STUDENT BIOGRAPHY
Marvin S. Hilario, 22 lives in Daang
Bago, Dinalupihan, Bataan. He spent her
primary years of education at Daang Bago

TEACHING BELIEFS
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will
live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
This quote has been with me ever since I first heard these words, and as I pursue my
dream of becoming a teacher, I frequently mention that I want this to be my fundamental
guiding principle while imparting knowledge to my students. Education should be inclusive
and dynamic, allowing each individual student to develop and learn in a variety of contexts
until they discover what works best for them. As a result, when I become a teacher, I want to
be someone who can recognize their character, their strengths, and their weaknesses and help
them become whom they want to be by utilizing their talents, despite the fact that they all
have them, they are all capable of succeeding.

the space provided.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 13
1. Look at the walls of the classroom. What are posted on the walls? What heroes,
religious figures, lessons, visual aids, announcements, do you see posted?
I saw our national hero, Jose Rizal, our current president, the mission, vision and
core values, bulletin boards that contains their birthday who are the cleaners. I also
perceived different Covid protocols that help students to maintain the social
distancing

ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the
students going to school? What are your conclusions?
In my perspective, the campus of the school or the classroom has its crucial part
when it comes to the learning of the students, thus it must have a positive impact. There is
already enough space on the school property and in the classrooms to meet all the needs of
the student. Some rooms are good for learning, while others are not. Lastly, the classroom
environment can maximize student performance by fostering a disciplined learning
environment that improves students' academic abilities and competences as well as their
social and emotional well-being that are beneficial for their development.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 15
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/How does
this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
Most of the child’s time is spent in school. because their environment has an impact
on how they grow. As an individual, the teacher must make sure that the environment in
the classroom supports students' learning were growing, including a positive relationship,
safety, drive, and openness to learning. The students were instructed in they can apply for
a long time in a variety of professions or subjects, such as science, math, and the like
knowledge. Additionally, it is a location where people receive instruction on how to
contribute positively to society.
REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?
In my opinion, yes, because this is real life in teaching, especially in public school
there are a lot of dilemmas that we may face. Crowded classrooms, unorganized rooms
and loud environments are just some of the problems, but the good thing is how we
play as a good teachers, how we turn this negative side into a positive. For me, that is
the definition of an effective teacher.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 16
teachers have like being enthusiastic, well-organized, gregarious, self-assured, and
sympathetic. By taking all these traits, everything will follow.
FIELD STUDY 1
The display board or what we more commonly refer to as a bulletin board, is one of
the mst readily available and versatile learning resources.
To achieve the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps: 1.
Examine for bulletin board displays. Include samples of those found at the entrance,
lobby, hallways and classrooms. 2. Pick one and evaluate the display. 3. Propose
enhancements to make the display more effective.
OBSERVE
As you look around and examine board displays, use the observation guide and forms
provided for you to document your observations.
An Observation Guide for BOARD DISPLAYS Read the following carefully before you
observe.
Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board displays do you
see?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 17
1. Where the display boards found? Are they in places where target viewers can see
them?
2. What are the displays about? What key messages do they convey? What images and
colors do you see? How are the pieces of information and images arranged?
3. What materials were used in making the displays? Are borders used?
4. Do you notice some errors? (misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies and the
like)
5. Are the messages clear and easily understood?
6. Think about what you got your attention. Why did it get you attention?
7. Take a photo of the display board (if allowed)
Based on the questions on the observation guide, write your observation report:

output through any of these:

• An electronic (computer) drawing illustration or layout
My Board Display Lay-out.
ANALYZE
2. Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience?
Why? Why not? The board's layout appeals to me quite a bit, but I think it didn't really
capture the interests of the intended audience. The bulletin's positioning is against the
light, making it challenging to see from a distance. Second, I think students are not
interested in it because the pictures have already faded since it was last updated a year
ago.
3. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand?
Why? Why not? Yes. Because readers place a high value on words. If they are unable to
understand that language, they will just ignore it. Just imagine, you are reading a text in a
language you don't normally understand, all you get are question marks because you
don't have any experience with that language. By this, it's crucial that the terminology
utilized be simple to understand.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 21
4. Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?
Board display play a vital role to our student because it aids us in visual learning, which
benefits student’s education. We teachers use display boards to display pictures related to
the lesson's topic.
Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display board. Use the form
below
Rationale:
(Purpose)
• to prevent contamination of water sources, negative consequences from
othersfinding it, disease spread, and to speed up decomposition.
Objectives:

PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 22
REFLECT
1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with
effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
In my opinion here are the skills that a teacher should posses to come up with
effective board display. First, be creative, to make the display board more enticing, we must
have the necessary creativity and it can attract the interest of the student. Secondly, be
always organized because we present information that are very integral to the learning of
our students. Next, have a good communication skill, the information should display must
be simple for the students to understand for the message to be conveyed. Followed by
being resourceful, it is important to effectively use all the resources or materials that we
have. Lastly, is to have originality because we teacher always innovate ideas that may help
our student’s knowledge.
2. Which of the skills you named in #1 do you already have? Recall your past
experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?
I must say I possessed the skill of being a good communicator because back then I
tend to vocalize all the ideas that I have for the betterment of our bulletin board. I share all
the knowledge that I have because when we share our wisdom to other people they can
also learn, by that, we exchange ideas that can help us in building a good bulletin board.
3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how
you can improve on or acquire these skills.
I must admit that I'm not very creative. Despite the fact that I lack artistic aptitude,
I do my best to provide pupils with works that will inspire them. I've been honing my
creative abilities by watching online supplemental videos that can help me do so.

REFLECT
1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experiences when you
were at their age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners you
observed?
As I reminisced about my experienced when I was in Senior High School there are a lot
of similarities and differences that I noticed. First, is how we are interacting with our peers,
that was evident at this age because this stage of teens is very open with socializing with
other people. Next is how we respect our subject teachers; I remember those times when
we are being favorite of our several teachers because we are being respectful and knowing
our limits even though we are so close to them. Lastly, we are different from answering
recitations because they are too shy to answer even if they know the answer. Unlike me, I
am so active in answering recitations even I am not sure of my answers because I believe if
you know something, you should verbalize and share it.
2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did she/he
help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive)? How
did it affect you?
I had an instructor in my first year of college who I still think highly of now. I respect
her commitment how she manages the class, etc. I consistently received great marks on her
quizzes and in our exams. She always has a party even if it is a modest victory. For those
that answered properly, she commends them and offers rewards. Nevertheless, she doesn't
let those with lesser scores continue to do so, she even took corrective action. Personally, I
felt that I needed to do it the next time when she greeted me and thanked me for what I'd
done. Knowing that not all teachers are like that is helpful to me. It supported my mental
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 29
and emotional well-being. I developed more of my skills and studied more since I felt
respected at the time, which also helped me emotionally and cognitively.
Working with various learners is challenging. Teachers need to be aware that these
variations play a role in how well students achieve. No matter how diverse they are, a
teacher must be able to meet their requirements. When working with different groups
of learners, teachers must adapt all their techniques or strategies. However, the most
crucial thing is for the teacher to respect these distinctions and encourage other pupils
to embrace their individuality.
Which is your favorite theory of development. How can this guide you as a future
teacher? Clip some readings about this theory and paste them here.
The theory of cognitive development put out by Jean Piaget is what I adore the most.
He gave a more focused explanation of the developmental stages. With it, I can quickly
distinguish the characteristics that preschoolers, elementary schoolchildren, and teenagers
have in common. As a soon-to-be teacher, I must be conscious of the possibility of having
various learner types in my classroom. I must therefore be resourceful and knowledgeable
in handling a variety of situations. This theory will act as my guide in developing various
strategies and suitable materials for dealing with various students in the classroom.

OBSERVING DIFFERENCES AMONG LEARNERS’ GENDER, NEEDS,
STRENGTHS, INTERESTS, AND EXPERIENCES: AND DIFFERENCES AMONG
LEARNERS’ LINGUISTIC, CULTURAL, SOCIO-ECONOMIC, AND RELIGIOUS
BACKGROUNDS AND DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES
FIELD STUDY 1
The learners’ differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect the
quality of teaching and learning. This activity is about observing and gathering data to find
out how student diversity affects learning.
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps:
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (Beginning of the day, class time,
recess, etc.)
Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and social and
cultural diversity.
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom.
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices she uses in
dealing with diversity in the classroom.
Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners’ interactions.
The observation form is provided for me to document my observations.

Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your observation
report on the space provided on the next page.
1. Find out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial groups,
religious and ethnic backgrounds.
During Class:
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 31
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students interact
with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups that interact more with the
teacher than others?
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they
behave and interact differently?

compete against each others?
4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most help?
When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the classmates try to
help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher will call them instead?
Outside class:
1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogenously, by age? By
gender? by racial or ethnic group? By their interests? Or are the students in
mixed social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected
the learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.
Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse students
due to the following factors:
• Gender, including LGBT
• Language and cultural differences
• Differences in religion
• Socio=economic status

ANALYZE
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and interactions in the
classrooms. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the
leader. A mascot/joker, an attention seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/pessimist?
There was a classmate who was a perpetual practical joker. He socializes
with all his classmates and begs for food since he is lazy. A top student who also
acts as the class leader usually tries to remind the class to be quiet, albeit not
everyone pays attention to her. Another student pretended to be the class secretary
even though she wasn't. She is the one who the instructor usually asks to write the
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 32
assignments on the board, collect the printing costs, and list the names of the
misbehaving kids.
What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their behavior?
Their peers, the notion that being this way would be preferable, the
responses of others that somehow satisfy them, and the insightful criticism of their
teachers all have an impact on how they choose to play out these roles.
2. Is there anyone you observed who appear left out? Are students who appear
“different” Why do they appear different? Are they accepted or rejected by the
others? How is this shown?
There is no student stood out to me as being unusual or excluded. The
students embrace one another's uniqueness and forge bonds with one another.
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual
differences of the students?
The teacher encourages the children to be kind and considerate with their
words, to support one another and appreciate one another's differences, and to be
there for one another as friends who are prepared to lend a hand and provide
emotional support. The teacher also exhorts the students to respect and accept one
another's beliefs and points of view, as well as their shared interests, time, and
preferences.
4. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity in the
classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?
The teacher ensures she is conscious of the unique characteristics of each
student by getting to know their backgrounds, learning preferences, and areas of
interest. By allowing them to discuss their cultural backgrounds, the teacher builds
good relationships with her students while encouraging open communication and
respect in the classroom.
REFLECT
1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity
among the learners and between the teachers?
Even though the students in the class are all unique individuals, their
collective acceptance and admiration of one another made me feel at ease as I was
observing. The way a teacher handles diversity in the classroom is a good
indication of how well-developed her teaching tactics are for fostering knowledge
of and connections to various cultures. The kids' evident empathy and openness to
people from different backgrounds allowed them to communicate well with one
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 33
another. Another indication that a teacher is doing a good job of cultivating
cultural sensitivity in the classroom is when students act confidently and
independently in front of the class. I experienced a sense of unity in the classroom
because of the way they support one another, how openly they communicate with
their teacher, and how they work together in cooperative learning activities.

What do you think still be done to promote and uphold the indigenous people’s knowledge

In my perspective, the best thing to promote and uphold the indigenous people’s
knowledge systems and practices and rights in schools are first, give the right to legal and
constitutional recognition of indigenous languages because in this day and age a lot of our
Ip’s were still experiencing discrimination in our society. Secondly, the right to live

remember in the future to ensure that you will be able to meet the needs of both the high
and low achievers in your class? Make a collection of strategies on how to address the
students’ different ability levels.
These are the instructional techniques that, in my opinion, will contribute most to a
classroom that values students' individual differences. Group activities ensure that
individuals can come together and comprehend one another despite their unique qualities
that allow for diversity. Those who learn better through visual means might then create
posters or engage in visual learning. The other tactics then concentrate on helping each
student develop their own skills by letting them go on their own explorations and testing
them according to their skill levels.

THE LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT PROFILE (OUTLINE)
ANALYZE
Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile will help you answer
the questions here.
1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of parenting
experienced by the learner? Explain your answer.
The child's education appears to be the parents' top priority and focus. They offer a secure
environment for learning and can even help the student, when necessary, but they don't
disrupt the lesson.
2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family
factors do you think contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the learner in
school?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 41
The family plays a significant role in many aspects of a child's development, including
genetics, which a child inherits from his or her parents and may result in developmental
changes. For example, if your parent has good genes, the likelihood that you will have the
same genes is very likely. In addition, the family, especially the parents, has a significant
impact on the child's development; the way they interact with and teach the learner may
influence how quickly the child develops.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If
yes, what are these effects?
Communication between the home and the school benefits the students, who are better able
to learn without interruptions as a result of the parties' adjustments and agreements, and who
also benefit from the teachers' ability to better understand the child as a result of the parents'
ability to fill in the gaps regarding the child's behavior that only they are aware of. Because
the teacher and the school give them enough updates, the parents are also able to fully
understand the learning process at that point.
4. How can the teacher partner with the community to contribute to the development
and learning of the students? Who are the people or which institutions can the teacher tap to
seek advice regarding the development and learning of students.
I believe that genuine education and school transformation may be achieved through
constructive, authentic community ties and initiatives. Young people achieve better, remain
in school longer, and have a more positive educational experience when families, community
organizations, businesses, and schools collaborate to support learning. There are many
fantastic instances of school and community partnerships worldwide. For instance, asking
local businesses for assistance or even partnering with the local government to develop
fantastic educational initiatives for students
REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you
experience? How did it affect you?
Growing up in a broken family is quite hard but I didn’t feel this because of my
grandparents, I didn’t experience that I am incomplete because of them. As I age, I grew to
respect and build trust with anyone because they always say to me that the most integral
part of communicating is building trust.
2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How
can you work well with the parents? How can you help them? How can they help you?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 42
As a prospective teacher, I would need to first develop a transparent channel of
communication with all the stakeholders to build a strong relationship between the home
school and community. I need a method of informing them and getting their feedback. I
must also take the initiative and exercise more creativity when developing programs and
activities that require their participation. For instance, when parents are given the proper
information, when they understand why they are needed and on what aspects they are
needed, they would be more obedient and contribute more to school activities like brigada
eskwela, etc.
We, learners, learn from our environment, our home, community, and school have a
huge impact on our growth as individuals because we learn several things from them that
may help us to become better. We become fruitful in today’s world because they mold us,
they aid us to grow to be more independent in this challenging world.

As a future educator, I will surely apply these three routines to my classroom
in the near future. First, start the day with a prayer because I believe that we should
thank God for the new blessings that he had given us and also ask for his guidance.
Secondly, checking attendance because for me attendance is a must. Also, this may
serve as a tracker of how many students are tardy and late. Lastly, the most
important thing is to ask how they are doing because I believe we should build a
harmonious interaction with them to build a good rapport and trust towards them.

ANALYZE
1. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation of the rule?
Rules are made to guarantee safety, fairness, and respect for other people's
rights. Also, Rules are the foundation of a well-managed class, and developing them
requires thought and planning on the part of the instructor. Rules of behavior that
are applicable and meaningful should be used to deter students from misbehaving
in the classroom. Rules are different from procedures in that they outline how the
classroom should be organized, what kinds of conduct are encouraged and
acceptable, and how students should cooperate to accomplish a common objective.
2. Are classroom rules really important?
For me classrooms are very integral because it helps to prevent potential
student wrongdoing, classroom rules also help to discipline students, shape their
behavior, and enhance learning. Additionally, it teaches kids responsibility and the
dos and don'ts of the classroom.

You will recall that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12
in the country.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 57
• The enhanced curriculum K to12 curriculum is the Recommended Curriculum. It is to
be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.
• When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency standards of
the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects the substance of RA
10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the teacher's class it is the lesson
plan. A lesson plan is a written curriculum in miniscule.
• What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life to the
written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The guidance of__
the teacher is very crucial.
• A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects, gadgets,
laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement the curriculum. This
is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
• In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the lesson plan, an
assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the lesson. The
curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
• However, there are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not written, nor
deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include peer influence, the
media, school environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and many
more. This curriculum is called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.

- The Recommended Curriculum (K–12 Guidelines) is simple to locate because
academics and professional organizations have endorsed it. Written curriculum
documents based on the recommended curriculum syllabi, course of study, module,
books, instructional guides, and lesson plan are available from DepEd, CHED, and

what is taught to children through the physical setting, rules, and practices at school.
Unplanned learning outcomes are any outcomes that are not specifically specified
in a course plan.
3. Are these all found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to one another?

other. Curriculum, for instance, is the foundation of education and what separates
educational achievement from the most basic to the most complex subjects.

curriculum and hidden curriculum are placed above the learnt curriculum. It can take some
time to find these two. They are fundamental, I can say. It's because the Department of
Education uses the suggested curriculum. And it must be adhered to strictly. While the
standards or principles that are taught in class serve as the hidden curricula. An effective
curriculum provides instructors, students, administrators, and community members with a
quantifiable approach and structure for delivering a quality education. Students must

I can tell that the teacher is happy and satisfied with the session.
4. Can you describe the majority of students' reactions after the lesson was taught?
Confused? Happy and eager? Contented? No reactions at all.
- The majority of them are happy and satisfied because their teacher exhibits a high
level of tolerance and understanding and gives credit to all of their responses, even

Based on your observations and tasks in Activity 2 how will you prepare your lesson plan?
Make a short paragraph on the topic.
In my perspective, whatever the components of a lesson plan are, each one should
build on the previous one and flow into the next. In addition to the core components of a
curriculum, there are extra standards to follow. Each one includes crucial elements such as
the type/level of students, their prior knowledge, which will help us keep the flow
continuing, and the teaching tactics that you may use in your lesson plan. Following that,
students must establish learning objectives, design specific learning activities, plan the
session, and assess their progress.

ANALYZE
Most Applied
According to what I've observed, the theory of learning that is most frequently used is
that "Learning is an Active Process," where a student-centered approach is used. When
students are actively involved in the learning process, they learn more. Teachers serve as
facilitators rather than as one-way information providers according to this learning theory.
For instance, the teacher gave a lecture during which the students listened attentively to her
without taking notes, and after 20 minutes, the students worked in groups to recollect, define,
and elaborate on the lecture's content.
Least Applied
The learning principle that has received the least amount of application is "Learning is
the discovering of personal meaning and relevance of concepts." In this instance, the instructor
took the majority of the class period to clarify and present their viewpoints.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 71
REFLECT
From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?
"Learning is an active process" is, in my opinion, the most crucial tenet since it makes
advantage of student interaction to impart knowledge. With the use of a student-centered
approach, it encourages students to actively participate in the learning process. In a more
student-centered approach than traditional learning, which has relied on lengthy instructor
talks and lectures, students are expected to learn via cooperation and investigation. According
to this type of principle, it is the responsibility of the student to collaborate with the teacher
in the development of knowledge, and the teacher's mission is to assist the student. As a result,
it promotes critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and deeper understanding by allowing
students to participate in the creation of information.

PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 74
What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:
a) constructivist-connected to past experiences of partners learners constructed new lesson
meanings,
- The instructor encouraged the students to relate their prior experiences to the issue under
discussion and tried to tie those experiences to the new idea.
b) inquiry-based
- The method of teaching and learning that I have observed using the inquiry-based approach is
when the teacher asks the students probing questions about the subject while also promoting
independent thought. The questions may be open-ended in order to enable students to share their
opinions and ideas.
c) developmentally appropriate-learning activities fit the developmental stage of children
- The teacher fosters a student's growth (social, emotional, physical, and cognitive)
d) reflective- Remembering, considering, and analyzing a teaching experience are all parts of
reflective teaching. When a teacher, for instance, asks students for comments and invites
colleagues to observe your class, that is believed to be a reflective teaching technique.
g) integrative - Lesson was multidisciplinary - e.g. In Science, Math concepts were taught.
- In order for the students' learning to be multidisciplinary and not just restricted to the subject,
the instructor connects other topics and concepts to the subject matter. In other words, the students
are able to understand and have the chance to learn new topics.
ANALYZE
1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the
test?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 75
If a teacher only teaches for test preparation and mastery, the student will not
learn more since the teacher restricts learning to the concept level and without any
application. Additionally, I can understand that if this occurs, pupils may just prepare
for exams, making it easy for them to forget what the teacher had taught.
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or student-
centered? Why?
The student-centered approach would still be used if I were to teach the class
again. I would encourage students to actively participate, but they would be the ones
to facilitate. I'll steer them and reprimand them when they make mistakes.

What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing? Reflect on this question.
What instructional approach works the best? Exists something like that. Whether it
be for teaching a language or another subject, there is no such thing as the perfect approach.
The type of pupils, the language itself, the topic matter, and the level of student motivation
all affect the strategy a teacher can employ. Immersion is one technique that can help you
learn a language better. Instead of hanging out with pals who speak the same language,
students should become friends with those who do. A teacher should provide pupils
additional opportunity to practice because language acquisition success depends on how
often you do it. Lectures in language lessons are ineffective, especially for pupils who are
tech savvy. Engaging initiatives and activities will function better. The approach a teacher
can take additionally relies on the language skills being taught.

The teacher must be perceptive. The teacher should have a thorough understanding of how
pupils learn. She should be well-versed in classroom observation so she may implement

Activity 10.2
OBSERVE
1. Did the Teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning outcomes (ILOs)at the
beginning of the class? Did he/she share them with the class? How?
- She shares her class objectives in the class by providing the precise intended learning
outcomes to the subject matter. For me, absolutely, by mentioning or giving them a soft
copy of the syllabus and what will be the objectives and identifying learning outcomes at
the conclusion of the subjects. She started her conversation by basing it on the questions
she asked the class and on her discussion.
2. What teaching-learning activities (TLAs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs help him/her
attain his/her lesson objectives/ ILOs? Explain your answer.
- The first student to cross the finish line in the game, which is a type of competition, is
given the opportunity to respond to the question. If the response is correct, she awards
points to the student, which will have a stronger impact on the students' performance.
3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/Are these aligned to the lesson objectives/
ILOs?
- The teacher sets up an online test by displaying the questions from the story guide that
students must respond to. As it relates to the lesson she is discussing, it is in line with her
aims. Her entire instructional approach is in line with the objectives or desired learning
outcomes when it comes to the learning activities and assessment.
ANALYZE
1. What are your thoughts about Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL)?
- The targeted learning objectives for students in the program are clearly stated
in outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL), a student-centered educational
technique. The next step is carefully planning teaching and learning activities
to assist students in achieving these objectives. This suggests that everything
teachers do should be focused on the knowledge, understanding, and abilities
they want pupils to have. Or to put it another way, teachers should devote their
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 80

As I think about it, I can see how important performance-based learning is to kids'
development and how it makes us more globally competitive. Performance-based learning
allows students to apply what they have learned. Since they may employ this knowledge
in their daily lives, students will gain from it. This made it possible for OBTL students to
monitor their development and decide whether or not a certain subject was a good fit for
them. OBTL can be used by teachers to provide pupils with more structured learning
opportunities, which will lead to higher-quality education.

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented speed at which
technology is evolving has disrupted many vital processes that involve how we run
production, businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The following Technology
trends have huge potential to transform the ways we teach and learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resources (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for teaching
and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is an
abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps,
streaming videos, multimedia apps, podcasts, and many others. They can have a
significant impact on education as they are made available and easily accessible in the
internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this episode.
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact, learn
about things and share information. Sites and apps such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram provide a virtual venue for teachers and learners to work together interact
among themselves and with other classrooms locally and globally.
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also one
who sends the most number of text messages per day. This indicates the high number
of mobile device users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool by allowing
teachers and students more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the
classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. IoT is a system of computing mechanisms that become built-
in into many everyday things, that allow sending and receiving data through the
internet. A lot of things have turned "smart.” We have smart cars that can navigate on
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 86
its own. Smart houses that monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface
with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our doctors. All of this
development can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when
computers or machine simulate thinking and behaviors of humans such as talking,
learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as, Siri, Alexa, Bixby and
Google assistant are near samples of AI. Among others, uses of AI in education can be
in the areas of gamification and adaptive instruction for learners with special needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by a
computer program that allows a person to visit and experience the environment
virtually. In AR, images from computer programs interlay with the actual views of the
real-word, resulting in an extended, expanded, or altered view of a real-world
environment. In education, among others, VR and AR programs and apps allow more
exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that add to the motivation and
engagement of learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transactions are done electronically,
and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and stored. The
challenge is how to make sense of this data, through analytics and research, possibly
answer pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning most effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites.
Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as
kindergarten. Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary programs
introduce and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps learners develop novel
ways of exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with problem or project-
based learning approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly
technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, It is crucial to ensure
that human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology. Ethical
practices that protect the rights of every person need to be upheld.

1. Are the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their functions and
characteristics?
The fact that they are strategically placed, well organized, and carried out, as
well as the fact that someone is in charge of monitoring and making sure all
resources are secure and ready for use, lead me to assume that the
resources/materials are arranged correctly in accordance with their duties and
qualities. Doors are dust-free, and computers have good ventilation. The improper
use of materials and resources is also prevented via procedures.
2. Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers?
Why? Why not?
Yes. Guidelines and procedures encourage easy access to resources while
ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to use them. The resource center

the teacher and the materials? Do their actions show attentiveness, eagerness, and
understanding?
I have observed in the class that the teacher has this Q and A strategy in which a teacher
asks a student regarding the topic they tackled. The teacher gives rewards plus points to
those who have actively participates in the class and that I was so amazed how the
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 92
students respond the to the teacher. I can say that the teacher’s strategy is so effective in
the learning of the student. I have acquired some essential skills and strategies that I can
apply to my future practice teaching. The flow of their online class is organized, the
students behaved well and attentively focusing on the discussion of the teacher.
ANALYZE
Use the Technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer to the
Technology Integration Matrix on p. 123. In which level of technology integration do you
think the teacher you observed operated? Why?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 93
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristic of the learning
environment in the class that you observed? Point your observations that justify your answer.
I believe the learning environment observed in the class I observed is authentic; they use
technology and their creativity to produce a more creative output rather than simply
performing the task.
Over-all, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give your suggestions.
The teacher has excellent learning tools in the classroom and used effectively and has
received positive feedback from the students during discussion time, despite using online
discussion. They listened carefully and responded positively to the teacher's questions, and
the teacher was pleased with their performance. Students pay attention to the learning
materials, allowing them to respond to exercises and the teacher quickly. They will be able
to learn more and gain a better understanding of the subject by using these educational
tools.
REFLECT
1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you
do differently if you would teach the same lesson to the same group of students? Why?
If I were the teacher, I would also encourage students to use their creativity and
collaborate when creating their work. To avoid wasting the students' ideas, I may try
something new: I will allow all my students to respond to my question after each reporter.
Because sharing one's ideas as a student will boost one's confidence.

It is just easy to surf and find appropriate resources in the internet because
there is so many information that pop out in just one click however, the difficult
thing is that, there are also lots of information that aren’t reliable and fake news is
rampant now in digital platform therefore; as teacher you must be vigilant

2. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What did you
consider? Explain. Which of the new trends in Education 4.0 would you like to explore
more for your work as a teacher? Why?
I chose those electronic resources because those are the vital sources and a
medium of teaching and learning process in this pandemic times. I want to explore
more in a vast realm of digital platform because nowadays in these trying times
everything should be done through the use of technology.

• If we find out that the learners failed to understand prerequisite knowledge and skills,
assessment while the learners are being formed or taught. It is assessment in the midst
of instruction.
• We do not wait for the end of the lesson to find out if learners understood the lesson
or not because if it is only at the end of the lesson that we discover that the learners
did not understand the lesson, we have wasted so much time and energy teaching
presuming that everything was clear, only to find out at the end of the lesson that the
learners did not understand the lesson at all. This means that we have to reteach from
the very beginning, something that we could have saved ourselves from doing had we
given time to find out if the lesson was understood while still teaching.

2. Did the teacher ask the class “Did you understand”? If she did, what was the class'
response?
If the teacher asks the class if they understand the lesson, the students respond like
this "yes teacher" or "no teacher" it depends on they understand the teachers’ lessons and
how the teacher delivered it to them. Understanding is the key to learn.
3. Did the students make the teacher feel or sense they did not understand the lesson or a part
of the lesson? How?
No, the students did not give the teacher the sense that they were perplexed by the
material. Everyone in the class participates well, and in their oral participation, they all got
the proper answer.
In simple explanation, there is nothing for the teacher to respond because the
students understand everything the teacher taught. They understand the lesson very well
to the point that everyone contributes to the lesson and they all got correct answers.

5. Were the students given the opportunity to ask questions for clarification? How was this
done?
Yes, students were given an opportunity to ask queries, if any. After the discussion,
teacher asked students if they have any questions. They were given chance to ask what was
making them confuse in the discussion.

teaching strategy? Describe.
I have not observed a class yet that the teacher did a re-teaching of a topic.
8. While re-teaching by himself/herself and /or with other students-turned tutors, did teacher
check on students' progress?
Yes, the teacher used short assessment in the form of quiz or oral questioning to
test for the student progress.
If yes, How?
There is a need for a system that can easily analyze the data to check on the
performance of the students. A short quiz can be designed which can be easily understood
by teachers and students. A short quiz can be developed which can be performed by the
students on the go. These short quizzes can be used to obtain the data to check the
performance of the students.
ANALYZE
1. Why should a teacher find out if students understand the lesson while teaching is in
progress? It not better to do a once-and-for- all assessment at the completion of the entire
lesson?
I believe it is better for a teacher to find out if students understand the lesson while
teaching is in progress so that it could be further explained and given emphasizes for a
more in-depth understanding of it. Aside from that, to aid and figure out the students who
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 108
needs extra attention and to be able to come up for an assessment that could fit their level
of understanding without compromising the quality of education. Moreover, I believe that
it is not good to do it upon the completion of the lesson through an assessment as students
can just merely pick or make up an answer just for the sake that they have an answer and
a score for the assessment.
2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask “Did you understand, class?” when he/she intends
to check on learners' progress?
Based on my observation, given that there are different types of students, there are
cases that even though they do not understand the topic they would say 'yes' when asked
if they have understood it since they are too shy or have a hard time to ask the part that
they find difficulty with. That is why activities and assessments is needed to check their
understanding throughout the lesson.
3. Should teacher record results of formative assessment for grading purposes? Why or why
not?
There is one analogy that I have read that says, "Summative assessment is like
sitting into a car, drive and expect to arrive at the destination", basically checking how far
away you are. While, formative assessment is constantly checking street signs, your GPS
and turning appropriately. Which means formative assessments are considered part of the
learning, they need not be graded as summative assessments (end-of-unit exams or
quarterlies, for example) are. Rather, they serve as practice for students, just like a
meaningful homework assignment. They check for understanding along the way and
guide teacher decision making about future instruction; they also provide feedback to
students so they can improve their performance. Moreover, formative assessments also
help differentiate instruction and thus improve student achievement.
5. For formative assessment, why is peer tutoring in class sometimes seen to be more effective
than teacher himself/herself doing the re-teaching or tutoring?
One factor that I noticed is that students are too shy to ask clarifications from their
teacher as they find them intimidating sometimes and it could be on the personality of the
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 109
students itself. Wherein, peer tutoring is seen to be more effective as student feel
comfortable around their peers/ classmates wherein, it allows them to freely ask about
areas that they find hard.
REFLECT
• Reflect on this and write your reflections. Should you record results of formative
assessment? Why or why not?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 110
Unlike summative assessment, which evaluates student learning, whilst formative

2. My Analysis
The teacher should assess whether the students have understood the
material during class. It enables the instructor to assess if the lessons are effective
and whether any adjustments are necessary to promote student learning. If the
students' learning has improved, the instructor should have a record of it so they
can track it. Additionally, formative evaluations come in a variety of formats and
cater to the various learning preferences of the students. Peer tutoring may also be
a type of formative evaluation. In most cases, it is more successful than reteaching.
It's because some people think that engaging with others helps us learn more.
3. My Reflection
The way that teachers engage with students, how they set up learning
scenarios, how they direct students toward learning goals, and even how they
measure student success, all change. For raising student performance, formative
evaluation is a potent tool. It improves student learning capacities, raises the bar for
student achievement, and promotes the equality of student results. I might be able
to determine a student's current performance level for a particular ability by
conducting routine ongoing assessments.

ANALYZE
1. If the student is at the heart of all assessment, then all assessment should support
student learning. Do you agree? Why or why not?
Yes, I agree, the primary purpose of an assessment is to enhance learning,
but that does not cover all the reasons why assessments are created. Assessments
help to measure how much a student knows. For the teacher to understand their
students' level of understanding, they must assess them. Assessments measure the
level of understanding and knowledge that students have. The measurement
collected is vital for the teacher to understand what they need to concentrate on and
what the student is struggling with. Also, assessments enhance learning because
they push a student to read more to pass their assessment tests. Therefore, even if
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 113
the student is at the heart of all assessments, all assessments do not need to support
student learning.
2. Does assessment as learning have the same ultimate purpose as assessment for
learning?
No, Assessment of learning is comparing students' achievement levels to a
standard using assessment data collected at the end of the teaching and learning
process. It's a summative process that usually involves standardized assessments.
Assessment of learning scores are frequently used to evaluate the effectiveness of
teachers or schools to improve student accomplishment based on the results of
single, pointin-time exams. Assessment FOR learning, on the other hand, integrates
assessment methods into the teaching and learning process to constantly change
instructional strategy. It can involve test data, but it also covers other quantitative
and qualitative data, as well as a lot of anecdotal and descriptive information.
REFLECT
2. My Analysis
Assessment plays a crucial role in the learning process and motivation. The
types of assessment assignments we provide our students have an impact on how
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 114
they approach the learning activities and the study techniques they use. The
relationship between student performance and specified learning goals has helped
teachers evaluate their curriculum. Assessment has an impact on how important a
class's learning objectives are.
3. My Reflection
In order to know when they are learning, how much effort is needed for success,
whether they have succeeded or failed, and which learning tactics are most effective
for them, students must analyze themselves. It is a crucial step in the evaluation
process because it gives pupils a way to examine and think back on their own
achievements. The objectives might range from time management to requesting
more. If they don't grasp something, they should ask questions in class.

OBSERVE
2. What are possible consequences if teacher's assessment tasks are not aligned to learning
outcome/s? Does this affect assessment results? How?
- The learning outcomes will not be met if the teacher's assessment tasks are not
matched with the learning outcomes. And the students will not be able to
demonstrate their learning during the evaluation. Many students may focus
their attention on activities that will lead to good grades on tests rather than
understanding what may be necessary for application of their learning when
objectives and evaluations are mismatched. Furthermore, it has an impact on the
assessment outcomes. Because the students will not apply what they have
learned in the assessment, they will receive a low evaluation score.
REFLECT
• Reflect on past assessments you have been through. Were they all aligned with what
your teacher taught with learning outcomes?
While doing this activity, I had a flashback to previous assessments that I had
completed in senior high school and at this college. There are two types of teachers: one
that clearly demonstrates his or her enthusiasm for teaching and who never tires of
giving his or her all in the classroom. There's also this one teacher who seldom interacts
with the students. When it comes to assessment, the teacher who teaches every day will
use this simple style of assessment that is connected with the learning outcome.
Another type of teacher who hardly teaches is one who uses out-of-the-box assessments
that are unrelated to learning outcomes.
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 117
• How did this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you learn
from this past experience and from this observation?
Experiencing the mismatched assessment task with the learning outcome allowed
me to concentrate more on the assessment task in order to achieve a good score rather
than the learning itself. This has piqued my curiosity in the subject. Instead of
becoming an active learner, I became a passive learner who did what was asked of me
in order to receive good/high grades rather than growing my knowledge of the subject.
In terms of this issue, we've dealt with it before in our Professional Education courses,
The Assessment in Learning I and II. Our professor has consistently reminded us of the
Do's and Don'ts of creating/completing an assessment. As a prospective educator, I've
learned from my previous experiences, learnings, and observations that the assessment
task should always be aligned with the learning outcomes. Always keep your students
in mind, adopt an approach that will help them learn more, and focus on the learnings
rather than the assessment results. Always remember that the students are at the center
of any assessment. You should give the assessment in such a way that it gauges the
students' learning about the topics as well as awarding them a good mark.

ANALYZE
1. Which assessment tools/tasks were most commonly used by teacher? Which ones were
rarely used? Why were they rarely used?
- The multiple-choice style of test was the most popular assessment employed by
teachers. These examinations are used to evaluate the student's grasp of both
difficult and simple ideas. Because all of the possible responses are supplied,
calculating and designing a new answer does not take long. The essay style of
test, on the other hand, is a rarely used assessment tool by teachers. Because the
subject is essentially conceptual, it is difficult for pupils to write an essay on the
subject.
2. Based on your answers found in the Tables above in which type of assessment tools and
tasks were the Resource Teachers most skilled in test construction? least skilled?
- Based on the previous table, I believe that problem solving is the type of
assessment instrument and activity that the resource teacher is best at creating
tests. Because problem solving is the one with which a mathematics teacher is
most familiar and the one with which they are most comfortable. They
understand the principles and may design any form of problem solving as long
as it is related to the subject matter and the students' learning. On the other
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 120
hand, I believe that completion is the area in which the resource teacher has the
least expertise. Because, based on my observations, the items in this section are
extremely predictable, and some of them were extracted directly from the
module.

Learning Essentials
• There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools.
• Authentic/non-traditional /alternative assessment tools measure learning outcomes
like performance and product.
• These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric.
• A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student's work that includes descriptions of
levels of performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013)
• The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.
• There are two types of rubrics - analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work
on each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a
whole.
• For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
• For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.
• A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance
is rated, the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance.

ANALYZE
1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you think that
type of rubric was used more?
- Analytic rubrics are used more frequently than holistic rubrics. I believe they
used the analytic rubric more than the holistic rubric because it is easier to use
because it is made up of level of scales and adjectives that make it easy to
rate/score performance. Analytic rubrics provide several scores for the task, one
for each different category being evaluated, whereas holistic rubrics provide a
single score to summarize a student's performance on a given task.
2. Based on your answers in # 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made and used
by the Resource Teachers?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 124
- What I can say about the teacher's scoring rubrics is that they are simple to use
and aligned with the assignment that was assigned to the pupils. Teachers will
be guided in their evaluation by a set of criteria.
3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product
or performance without scoring rubrics? Explain.
- Yes, there is a significant difference in grading student work if the teacher does
not use a scoring rubric to score the product or performance. The work of the
students will be judged subjectively if a rubric is not used. They will be more
concerned with the output's physical look rather than its content.
4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how?
- If I had to pick one scoring rubric to enhance, it would be the holistic rubric that
was used to evaluate the product. I would change it such that instead of scoring
it on a scale of 5 to 1, I would grade it on a scale of 3 to 1. It would be easy to
evaluate the pupils' work with this change.

ANALYZE
1. With OBE in mind, which should be the basis for the selection of pieces of evidence to show
that what the student was supposed to learn was learned?
In light of the OBE, I believe the activities and output of the students should serve
as the foundation for the selection of pieces of evidence to demonstrate that what the
students were expected to learn was learned. They should be included in the portfolio so
that the teacher may assess the student’s learning in a specific lesson. It's also a good idea
to include any written or artistic reflections from the student on what they’ve learned.

6. Student's Reflections,
3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of the portfolio?
When a teacher wants to know how a student's growth or change over time, how to
help students develop process skills like self-evaluation and goal-setting, how to identify
students' strengths and weaknesses, and how to track the development of additional
products/performances, the teacher should use the Development or growth portfolio.
Showcase Portfolios were used to highlight end-of-year/semester achievements, produce a
sample of best work for career or college application, display student perceptions of
favorite, best, or most important work, and communicate a student's current aptitudes to
future professors. When a teacher wants to record success for grading purposes, progress
toward standards, and put students correctly. The option is to create an
assessment/evaluation portfolio.

- The resource instructor has the highest and lowest amount of assessment
questions, indicating that he has a high level of questions. The quantity of
questions, in my opinion, is appropriate for the subject area that the teacher was
teaching. They are the ones that would be ideal for use in a class discussion.

There should be additional items for each distinct domain and cognitive level for a

levels continuously would score knowledge at various learning stages.
3. With OBE in mind, is it correct to put learning outcome not topic in the first column? Why
or why not?
The learning objective's placement in the first column is appropriate. This is due to
the fact that the learning result must be considered while choosing the test items
and establishing their cognitive level. The TOS must also be directed and consistent
with the assessment task.
4. Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS? 5. Complete
the given TOS.
Without creating TOS, a teacher cannot administer a test with content validity. It
happens because test writers have a propensity to concentrate too much on

The percentage under performance task is higher than the other two components, which
the student appreciate about the new grading method. Furthermore, the new grading
system has a minimum grade of 60, which is transformed to a 75 on the report card.
2. Do you have problems with the new grading system? If there is, what?
Apart from the difficulty in interpreting the letter grading system since the student was
unable to establish the precise percentage that the student achieved, the student have had
no problems with the new grading method thus far.
3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your performance? Why or
Why not?
Yes, the new grading system provides the student with a clearer sense of his work because
the ratings are clearly spelled out in their teacher's report card. The letter grading system,
as he previously stated, is somewhat puzzling.
4. Which do you prefer - the old or the new grading system? Why?
The new grading system that they are currently employing at school is preferred by the
students. The existing grading system, according to him, is limited since it does not
demonstrate what a pupil is learning or should be learning. The new grading system
alleviates some of the burden on students at a specific level.
2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1 to 10 and Grades 11 to
12.Give an example?
There is only one Quarterly Assessment every grading period, however there should be
opportunities for students to generate Written Work and exhibit their knowledge and
abilities through Performance Tasks. Written Work and Performance Tasks are not
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 142
required in any particular amount, but they must be spread out over the quarter and used
to assess learners' abilities after each topic has been taught.
The following are the steps on computing grades per quarter: a. Grade from all
student work are added up. b. The sum for each component is converted to the percentage
score using this format.

Promoting a student to the next school level or keeping a student in the same grade level is
a decision that must be made wisely and based on evidence. A student who has a Final
Grade of 75 or above in all learning areas is promoted to the next grade level. The
guidelines for learner advancement and retention are listed in the table below.

6. What is the report on learners’ observed values?
The K–12 curriculum aims to educate Filipinos holistically with 21st-century capabilities.
The construction of values and attitudes based on the Department of Education's Vision,
Mission, and Core Values (DepEd Order No. 36, s. 2013) must accompany the growth of
learners' cognitive competences and skills, as demonstrated on the next page. Non-DepEd
schools are free to change or adapt these criteria to fit their school's philosophy, vision,
mission, and fundamental values. According to my observations, the report on learners'
observed values is based on DepEd's four key values: This Core Values have been
translated into behavior statements as Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, and
Makabansa. Learners' behavior demonstrating the Core Values will be reported using a
non-numerical rating system. The Class Adviser and other teachers must agree on how

systems are popular among teachers and students
2. What are the good points of the new grading system according to teachers? According to
students?
As said by the teacher Written works and performance tasks will be used to evaluate the
content and performance standards that specify the knowledge, abilities, and skills that
students should display. According to the student I interviewed, the new grading system's
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 150
good points include the distribution of percentage per component on which Performance
task is greater than the two, and finally, the new grading system's minimal grade.
The difficulty here is adjusting to the new pandemic grading system, which has only
recently been established. In addition, the grading system does not include the Quarterly
Assessment.
4. Do you favor the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks and
quarterly assessment?
Yes, I support the allocation of written work percentages, performance tasks, and quarterly
evaluations. Because, for me, the focus will be on the students' performance in class,
whether it be in the shape of an assignment or otherwise. It would be simpler to assess the
kids' progress.
5. Did you like the experience of computing grades? Why or why not?
I enjoy computing grades because, aside from the fact that it is challenging, it allows me to
directly monitor the performance of students based on their grades. Furthermore, there is
a novel and simple method for calculating grades without making mistakes. It is the usage
of Microsoft Excel on which you would program it, and after entering the scores, it would
directly compute the students' grades.

REPORTING STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE
Learning Essentials
• Grades fulfill their function if reported meaningfully to students and most of all to
parents, our partners in the education of children.
• Grades are a measure of achievement, not necessarily IQ. A student may have high
IQ but not necessarily achieving or performing because of lack of motivation or
other factors.
OBSERVE
1. Observe how cards are distributed on Card Distribution Day. Describe how cards are
distributed.
The cards are normally distributed at the end of the quarter/semester, and there is a
recognition program for those who are among the top students in their classes. The
cards are given to the parents in person.
2. Describe how the Resource Teachers communicated learners' assessment results and
grades to parents.
A teacher's standard practice is to first inform parents about how grades are calculated
so that they may comprehend why their children have high or low grades.
3. Did parents raise questions or concerns? If yes, what were their questions/concerns?
Some parents inquire about their children's behavior and performance in class.
4. How did the Resource Teacher handle their questions and concerns? What answers
did he/she give?
The teacher responds to the questions by informing the parents about the students'
improvements and behaviours observed throughout the lesson. The teacher focuses
more on the positive comments from the students, as well as informing the parents
about the students' outputs that were shown and present in the classroom.
Interview with Resource Teacher
1. How do you give feedback to your students regarding their performance? When do
you give feedback?
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 152
Usually, the teacher gives feedback after the class. She entertains the students that need
some attention. They are students who somehow have difficulties in terms of learning.
On the other hand, she spends some time having a one-on-one talk with her student.
2. How do you report students' performance to parents? Does the school have a regular
way of reporting grades to parents?
We conducted quarterly Parent – Teacher Conference to inform the parents on the
performance of their children.
3. What problems on grade reporting did you encounter with parents? How did you
address it/them?
Some parents did not satisfy with the given grades to their children but of course, as
teacher, we need to explain in detail the rating of their children for us to build good
relationships with them.
Interview with Students
1. Do you see the meaning of your grades in the School Report Card?
- Yes, the School Report Card explains the meaning of the student's grades.
- Knowing his grades motivates him to do more and work more in order to
maintain and improve his grades. He is pleased with his grades, which reflect
all of his hard work and dedication to studying.
1. Does your child's Report Card give you a clear picture of how your child is
performing?
Yes, the child's report card provides parents with a detailed overview of their child's
performance. Even without their monitor, they can know that their child is performing
well in class based on the grades provided.
2. If you were asked what else should be found in the Report Card, which one? Why?
Parents believe that the information in the report card is sufficient to know that their child
is studying diligently. Because the main thing is that parents can see their child's grades
plainly. That's why there's no one else to add.
3. Do you find the Card Distribution Day important? Why or why not?
Yes, the parent believes that the card distribution day is important, not only for themselves
but also for their children. This is an important day for parents to show their support for
their children. Furthermore, they claim that this is an excellent time to monitor their child's
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 153
performance and behavior through the teacher's observation, which is communicated to
them.

misperception stems from their or their child's dissatisfaction with their grades. They may
also conclude that there is bias if they compare the student's grades to those of the other
students. As a teacher, I must tell students and teachers about the process of computing
students' grades in order to guarantee that the scoring, grading, and reporting of scores and

2. Which of these qualities do you have? Do you think you can fit as a good teacher
someday? ____________ Why? Describe yourself.
REFLECT
Good teachers are role models, whether in school, at home or in the community. From
the teachers that you had from elementary to college, did the personal qualities that they
possess, help you learn better as a student?
Identify one personal characteristic of your model teacher that has made a great impact
in your life as a learner. Reflect and describe how this quality influenced you.
When I was 3rd-year college, the teachers I had were the ones who influenced my
thinking and passion the most along with the special children whom I interacted with.
Their passion and positivity reached and influenced my personal qualities that I always
see the positive side of things and find that passion to teach the special children in my case.
They also teach us to help one another, because the only ones who can help us are the ones
we are with right now. And we sincerely thank them for that.

ANALYZE
Did you learn from your observation and interview on teacher's professional
competences? Now let us analyze the data.
- Yes, that the teacher exhibits the qualities expected of a teacher and that she is
prepared to go above and beyond what was required of her. Since the teacher
demonstrated all the aforementioned qualities, her competencies are regarded as
strong in her profession.
2. Did your answers to the survey form coincide with the answers of the co-teacher or
head of the teacher you observed?
Why?
Yes, as it is what we have found to be the teacher's most exceptional attribute,
and the responses from her fellow instructors are consistent with the traits we have
noted.
REFLECT
Complete the following sentences as your reflections from the results of Activity 2.
1. As a future teacher, the results imply that I should also possess good characteristics
and attitudes that a teacher must have. These characteristics display how you will
impact your students' lives and in the teaching field. Also, having a positive
attitude, passion, and professionalism in teaching will result in productive teaching
and can even produce competent students. As someone who will nurture students
or individuals who are the future of our country is the greatest responsibility of a
teacher. To teach students to be globally proactive in improving themselves, a
teacher must possess the same qualities as what they want their students to possess.
Teachers are role models of students who are still in the process of reaching their
dreams. And to have productive teaching that will produce competent students is
the best accomplishment for a teacher.
2. If all the teachers teaching today possess the professional characteristics and
competencies as the teacher/teachers observe then learners will be more globally
competent, skilled, and productive. Professional characteristics of teachers help
students to maximize and enhance their fullest potential not just in the aspect of
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 163
academics but as a whole. The qualities and characteristics of a teacher can influence
the teaching-learning process in the class. If the teacher has the qualities of a
globally competent teacher, the students will be motivated to have the same
qualities as the teacher. To teach the best, one must be taught by a more
knowledgeable person in the field/area. A teacher’s responsibility is to let the
students exhibit and enhance their fullest potentials.

Learning Essentials
A survey of the ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are
three majors FILIPINO GLOCAL TEACHER responsibilities of teachers. These are
While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world,
in our country, teaching in public schools requires six hours of actual teaching, that
includes administrative work such as management of learning per day. The two hours
of the working day is allotted to administrative work such as scoring and recording
learners outputs, making reports, filling forms, preparing for the next day's activity
and performing other administrative tasks. The previous Episode on the teacher,
reminded us of the qualities and competencies mentioned earlier. Teachers should be
multi-literate, multi-cultural, multi-talented, innovative and creative. The future
Filipino teacher like you shall act locally but think globally.
"Teach local, reach global” means that the teacher brings diverse experiences
in the classroom with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global society.
What teachers do in the local communities impacts the larger community. As global
citizens, the work begins, where the teachers are, thus a "glocal” teacher.
Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in the 21st
century education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2) Financial, economic,
business and entrepreneurial literacy, and (3) Civic and Health Literacy which require:
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 166
1. Learning and Innovative skills.
2. Information, Media and Technology Skills
3. Life and Career Skills
More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can demonstrate
exemplary mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions relative to the following
characteristics:
Majority of the current classrooms provide learning spaces that can hardly prepare the
21st century learners for the development of the 21st century skills.
Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator of
learning. Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work on interdisciplinary
projects that cover several subject areas. Learning is no longer for memorizing and recalling
of information but on learning how to learn. Thus classroom designs should respond to the
21s century learning. More so, quality teachers should be changing their roles from teaching
in isolation to co-teaching, team teaching and collaboration .with students and peers.
A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well as the
management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to address the new roles
of teachers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the six elements of
a new classroom:
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 167

under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher should use effective classroom
management strategies that will ensure productive learning.

Refer to the results of your observation to answer the questions that follow.
1. Which of the three responsibilities shows majority of the indicators being practiced?
A. Actual Teaching?
B. Management of Learning?
C. Administrative Work?
Based on the result of my observation, “management learning” shows the
majority of indicators being practiced. The teacher always gives
opportunities to students to participate in every class activity and discussion.
The use of instructional materials during class discussions is a must. The
teachers used visuals, tv screens and books that helped students to
understand the lessons better. Lastly, the seating arrangement is important
before class discussion. Through seating arrangement, she always organizes
the capacity and attitude of learners towards class discussion for better
learning.
2. Which demonstrated behavior, do you find in the teacher that is worthy of emulation
when you become a teacher? Describe.
3. Which of the major responsibilities does this teacher find difficult to comply with?
What are the reasons?
The administrative work is the major responsibility that the teacher finds to
comply with. This responsibility needs a longer time frame to comply,
especially those other tasks that the superior asks them to comply with. Such
lesson plans, attendance sheets, and formative and summative records must
be monitored consistently and should be reported to superiors within or
before due time.
4. From your perspective, would you consider this teacher as a quality teacher? Why?
Yes, I can consider her as a quality teacher. She may have imperfections in
the field of teaching however her passion and love for teaching is
overflowing. This passion and love for teaching gives her motivation to
perform and act her job as a teacher professionally. Moreover, she exhibits
the good qualities of a teacher which I can also apply in my own career of
teaching soon.

Now, that you have spent one school day observing this teacher, it would be good
for you to reflect on all your observations by answering reflective questions below.
1. Are you inspired to become a teacher after your observation? If yes, why? If No, why not?
Yes, these would be an eye opener for all of us, what is up and are about to encounter
when we become educators.
2. When you become a teacher in the future, how else would you do better as a professional
teacher?
As a future educator, the same techniques will be adopted. However, we should still
consider the individual differences of our students and create a more encouraging and
dynamic lesson for the learner.
3. What are some of the concerns that you foresee in the future as a quality teacher? Do you
think you will be ready to address these? Give at least 2 concerns.
Adaptability and Versatility. One harmonious classroom should have these qualities to
ensure that the teacher and learners have these kinds of relationships. It helps teachers
to impart knowledge to the learners for he/she are able to know what kind of
environment (classroom) they have.

I think the challenges that await me as a future teacher are how I will design my
own classroom environment and how I will impose classroom management itself on my
learners. Classrooms must foster freedom, comfort, belongingness, and security which are
vital to the learners. These qualities of the classroom are necessary for building a positive
PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 175
atmosphere and effective classroom learning. Moreover, imposing classroom management
can be also a challenging one. The teacher must reinforce such positive rules in the
classroom to be observed and followed by the learners in order to tolerate kindness,
respect, diversity, and belongingness within the learning environment.

conversation proceeded smoothly. Through thorough instruction, she demonstrates
mastery of the material. Given the enthusiasm their instructor had in class, the pupils
always looked forward to attending. Her instructional approach is successful since the kids
came close to getting the right response. She also makes sure that each of her assessment
assignments is in line with the necessary learning objectives. Lastly, she always solicited

PRED 2213 - Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching - Learning in Actual School Environment 183
Although essentialism stresses teacher-centered learning, this educational
theory is preferred since the curriculum gradually advances to increasingly difficult

PERSONAL REFLECTION ON THE PORTFOLIO
Learning is inevitable for us future educators and learning by doing is the most integral part of
education because it connects theories and knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world situations.
Giving students the opportunity to work in actual workplace settings and expand their existing
abilities, competencies, and positive attitudes, field study is a teaching method that makes learning more
active.
During the entirety of our field study, I am able to learn so many things, we needed to observe a
real class. I was assigned to Balsik National High School; the faculty was very accommodating and very
kind. They were able to provide us with a very fun and informative experience. For the observation, I
was able to participate in two classes, from 11 TVL -A and ABM 11. While I am reading the portions
of our episode that question us about actual classrooms, from back then makes me nervous because I
was afraid not to meet all the requirements but contrary to this, I am still able to pick up a lot of
knowledge from all the teachers and staffs in my cooperating school. The students there were chaotic,
but they always have the enthusiasm to learn, especially when the instructor understands how to get
them moving, and I learned how entertaining and humorous students can be in class by observing them
even more eager to become a teacher.
The answers to my episode weren't simple, but I am quite proud of them since they are all the
result of my efforts and what I have learned. The nicest part of it all was the amount of knowledge I
learned, so I suppose staying up late was worthwhile. Even though I skipped a few tasks and had a lot
of difficulties, my portfolio shows that I persisted and learned things during my field study one
observation.
