ANALYZE

How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning
of the students going to school? What are your classrooms?
 The good design of infrastructure, field and landscape inside the school
campus has an effect to the learning of students because it is so attractive
and promotes calmness upon seeing it. The size of classroom, equipment’s,
materials, books, modules and bulletin boards are a big help to boost the
learning eagerness of every student. Of course, it also answers the demand
of the learners during performance task because of enough learning
materials needed. Our classroom is well managed and clean.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development?
How does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
 It links to my understanding of child and adolescent development, which
has made me aware of the individuality and differences of each learner,
which we must consider as future teachers. It's important for me to
remember that children learn at different rates. In order to facilitate learning,
I must first understand each child's behavior and personality before deciding
which tactics will best suit them and implementing them. It has been
suggested that a child's surroundings have a significant impact on his
growth. When it comes to this stage, it is the most significant point at which
the child's experiences can become a source of boredom in his life. What he
encounters in his environment may be managed within his existence.

REFLECT

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment of child and


adolescent development? How does this relate to your knowledge of
facilitating learning?

 Yes, I believe I can discuss how to be more productive,


competitive, and innovative, despite the fact that I come from that
atmosphere. Innovation can happen at any time, and I'm willing to
participate. The school has excellent facilities. It connects to my
understanding of child and adolescent development, which has
made me aware of each learner's individuality and differences,
which we must consider as future instructors. It's critical for me to
keep in mind that children develop at different rates. To make
learning easier, I need to first understand each child's behavior and
personality before selecting which strategies will work best for
them and putting them into practice.

2. What kind of school campus of conducive to learning?

 A school that has all of the necessary facilities and equipment for
teaching is one that is favorable to learning. School must be
updated in any type of learning now that we are technologically
advanced. The clean and well managed school campus will help
students learning be better. A child friendly environment of school
campus that promotes comfortability and calmness for students is a
big help to their learning.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?


 A classroom that full equipped with learning materials such as;
books, module and materials for performance task. This kind of
classroom will promote learning to the highest level due to the
availability of materials needed.

4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?

 Willingness to help students is one of the attitudes that help me to


accomplish what needs in learning. Making decision without
planning might not be good. So, I want first to plan and sacrifice
my time and some money to buy materials and equipment so that
student has materials to use during practicum and discussion.

5. Write your additional learnings and insights here.


 The learning environment encompasses not just the physical
setting, but also how you interact with your pupils in various
situations and scenarios. They argue that what students see is what
they will do. As a result, as a future teacher, I'll be more sensitive to
any approaches or materials that are presented to them. It is
possible to be motivated to learn. As a result, the school campus
environment plays a vital role in inspiring kids to learn.

REFLECT

1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own
experiences when you were their age? What similarities do you have
with the learners you observed?

 I remembered my own experiences when I was their age, during


discussion I was sleepy and sometimes I don’t pay attention to my
teacher and doing things that is not necessary like making a drawing
to my note and others. I only interested in actual performance led by
my teacher and I was happy that I excel in that kind of situation.

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?

 The late Sir. Preza is one of the teachers I will never forget. I looked
up to him because he was nice, humble, and had a good sense of
humor. He was quite skilled, and he inspires me to showcase my
skill, knowledge and leadership abilities in doing electrical wiring
installation. His lessons and principles are ingrained in my hearts
and I was happy to become his student.
3. Share your insights here.
 Teaching is both a vocation and a mission. Responding to God's
call is not easy, and it becomes even more difficult when you
have the mission of being a catalyst for change. Touching
someone's life is precious and molding them into the best
version of themselves is the most difficult, yet gratifying task.
The noblest occupation and the best career a person may have
been that of a teacher.
 Teaching is an extremely difficult profession, and our country
requires a large number of teachers to serve it, especially now
that our educational environment has been transformed.
 Teaching is not only focusing on improving your students'
abilities, talents, and intellectual capacity, but also being
adaptable and alert in assessing one's own limitations and
strengths.

b. Concrete operational stage
c. Pre-operational stage
d. Between concrete and pre-operational stage

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts


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.

 Learners could be developed from their real zone of


development to the zone of proximal development through
scaffolding, according to my favorite hypothesis. This truly
motivates me since I believe that a teacher's job is extremely
gratifying because they are instrumental in helping a youngster
realize his or her greatest potential.
 Scaffolding is a process in which teachers provide students with
a specific type of support while they learn and develop a new
concept or ability. A teacher may impart new information or
demonstrate how to address a problem using the scaffolding
paradigm. After that, the teacher takes a step back and allows
the kids practice on their own. Structured support, such as
group practice, is put in place before the pupils become entirely
independent. Students could form small groups to assist one
another. This educational procedure is also known as "I do."
We do, and you do as well.” To put it another way, the teacher
demonstrates how to do something, then the class practices
together, and lastly, students work independently.

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 the leader, a mascot/joker, an attention
seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/pessimist?
The teacher and the learners are different individuals who plays their
own roles in classroom interactions. The role of the teacher is
facilitator, while the student takes on the role of learner. In a
classroom, the students have differed on their skills, natural gifts,
capacities and knowledge. During my observation there are students
who always want to be a leader on their class, some students have a
great sense of humor who makes all of his classmates laugh, and an
attention seeker who enjoys talking with his seatmates. There is also a
small teacher who always made himself available to teach and help his
classmates on their activity.

What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect they
behavior?
The factors that affect they behavior may include; the class and
Curriculum Structure, Teacher Behavior and Personality, Teaching
Methods, Parental Habits and Involvement, Family Issues and
Instability, Peer relationships, Learning Environment, and Assessment.

2. Is there anyone 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?
None of the learners appear to be left out. The difference in cultures
student’s environment is a big factor that affect their behaviors. But
that does not mean they are not accepted in school nor the school
promotes fairness so all students who wants to learn is accepted. But
sometimes students want to have fun and play together because,
despite their differences in attitudes, skills, socioeconomic standing,
and abilities, they appreciate each other. By making the classroom a
perfect place to be, the teacher also indicates that they are accepted and
belong in the class.

What does the teacher do to address issues in life?


The teacher will play a critical role in this situation because he/she
needs to consider all of students before giving advice. So, during
discussions the teacher will always observe the learners on what
learning styles that needs to apply to make learning fruitful.
Demonstrating a genuine interest in learning about each learner and
their culture will help you gain their trust and develop a bond with
them, making them feel appreciated.
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the
individual differences of the students?
By encouraging students to share their personal experiences with the
class or in groups, the instructor promotes class interaction. Students
are taught to recognize that they have something in common with the
rest of the class, despite their differences. Another option to
accommodate student diversity is to use a variety of educational styles.
By demonstrating fair ideals inside the classroom, the teacher can
influence class interaction while taking into account the different
variations of the students. When her students react with a bad answer
to the inquiry, the instructor does not discourage them. When the
pupils are in the classroom, the teacher does not reveal biases based
on their performance and routine.

4. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of


diversity in the classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?
While maintaining an open discourse among students is crucial, you
must also ensure that you are attentive to everyone's culture, beliefs,
and language problems. Take the time to learn about each student's
cultural quirks, from learning styles to the language they speak, and
include this information into your lesson ideas. Provide appropriate
and relevant resources to English language learners, for example, to
help them enhance their English comprehension abilities. Create
learning experiences that are more interactive and demand
participation rather than teaching in a typical lecture approach. These
considerations will assist guarantee that every student feels included,
has the opportunity to study in their own way, and succeeds.

REFLECT

1. How did you feel being in the classroom? Did you feel a sense of
oneness or unity among the learners and between the teachers and
the learners?
I'm happy and at ease in that classroom since the teacher acknowledges our
presence and the pupils are kind to us. I got the impression that the teacher is
well-liked by her students because they pay attention and participate in
conversations. I can sense the unity among the students and the teacher in this
way
While I'm sitting in the back of the classroom, observing and watching the
students, I get the impression that I'm already teaching them. Within my
thoughts, I sensed a sense of oneness and unity among the students and the
teacher because the students interacted positively with their teacher and
responded without hesitation and qualm when their teacher asked a question.
This is demonstrated by a pupil who has complete self-assurance and trust in
himself.

1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting


did you experience? How did it affect you?
The authoritative parenting style, in my experience, is the most effective.
They have clear and legitimate expectations of us, as well as constraints.
For example, my grandmother would allow me to play and hang out with
my friends outside, but only if we were close enough for her to see us and
ensure our safety. She also encourages us to join in any school activities
that we are interested in, depending on our abilities and interests. She
often told us the old adage, "Do not do unto others what you would not
want done to you." She always reminds us to set our priorities in life and
focus on it. To put God first in all our endeavors and never forget our
roots, to be kind and humble always.

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? As a future teacher, I plan to have a
positive working connection with parents. Their involvement would be
extremely beneficial to the home-school connection. I'll make certain that
they do their part in meeting their children's requirements. I can work
well with parents by consulting their child's conduct in their home. I can
assist them by reporting on the child's academic progress and
performance.

Resource Teacher: ______________ Teacher’s Signature: ___________


School: __________

____________

OBSERVE

Observe and use the observation sheet provided for you to document your
observations.
1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note their
ages.
The learners of Grade 9 ad Grade 10 Aquino were active during the lesson proper.
They
always follow the imposed classroom rules virtually. Their ages revolve around 13-16.

2. How many boys are there? How many girls?

3. Focus on their behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
Focusing on the behavior of the learners of the two-grade level I am observing they
can
already handle their own behavior with little assistance from their adviser.

4. Can the learners already work independently? Yes, the learners can already wok
independently.

5. Describe their span of attention.


Since it is impossible to determine the exact span of the learners attention, I think that
base on the prescribe hours of virtual learning their can attention can last to at least one
hour.

ANALYZE

Analyze and answer these questions on observed classroom


management practices. It is also good to ask the teacher for additional
information, so you can validate your observation. Write your notes below;
and then organize your data in the Table that follows.
1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids,
books, students' belongings, supplies, etc.)? Describe these areas. Will it make a
difference if these areas for specific purposes are not present?

2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these
rules reinforce positive behavior?

3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If the Resource
Teacher is available, ask him/her to describe the process. What's the effect of
students' participation in rule-making on student's behavior?
Yes, the students were part of the formation of the classroom rules. They talk about the
Do’s and Don’ts during the virtual discussion. It then made the learners to abide to the
imposed classroom rules such as using the reaction if they want to participate, and they
always mute their microphone to avoid unnecessary noise.

4. What are the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher? (prayer, attendance,
assignment of monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?
Before the resource teacher starts to discuss, she always check the attendance of the
students to know who attend on or before the time and those who entered the virtual
discussion late. After that she shows her screen to show who submitted their assignments and
those who were not.

5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this
help in managing the class?

6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this managed?


There are little noise in the virtual classroom for the microphone of the learners are
always muted. This is because these were one of the imposed classroom rules.

7. If a learner is not following instruction or is off-task, what does the Resource


Teacher do? Describe the behavior strategies used.
The Resource Teacher always remind her students to do not forget to pass their
assignments and that if they actively participate in the learning process they can extra points
and she always shows that she is taking notes of those who are reciting.

8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (Behavior


strategies)
She always say thank you after the learners recited and appreciate their effort to attend
the discussion
REFLECT

Reflection as a future teacher.


1. Why do you need to enforce positive discipline?
Positive discipline teaches and reinforces positive habits while
removing negative ones; negative behaviors are weaned out without
damaging the child verbally or physically. Children are taught to
maintain self-control, accept responsibility, and consider the
consequences of their actions on themselves and others. Children are
taught to be responsible and respected members of their communities
through positive discipline.

ANALYZE

1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners'
behavior?
This, I feel, is why everyday routines must be incorporated into the
lives of students. As humans, our memories are brief; we are prone to
this, and in order to apply what we learn, we must train our bodies
and minds to master it. In terms of this so-called classroom
organization, it was set up for students to learn how to organize a
small group so that they would be prepared for a larger application in
which they could apply it to organizing a specific group when the time
came. Your pupils will know what their obligations are and what you
expect of them if you manage your classroom correctly. It also helps
students manage their learning by providing a planned daily pattern
for your class (e.g., beginning class with a warm-up session and then
transitioning to lecturing).

2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the
classroom organization and routines? What theories and principles
should you have in mind?
Teacher should consider appropriate classroom organization and
procedures that are also compatible with her or his pupils' preferences
in general. S/he should primarily involve students in deciding this
issue so that they can learn how to manage themselves and their
routines, but with teacher aid. As a teacher I should always remember
the Theory of Howard Gardner that each learners has a specific
intelligent means they learn different from one another that is why it is
important to arrange the classroom that caters all kinds of learners.

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of


the learners?
motivating students? Why were they effective?
A teacher's attitude has a big impact on how well she or he manages
her or his students' behavior. Teachers that exuded enthusiasm and a
cheerful demeanor in the manner they instructed their students
appeared to be considerably more effective. Students listen attentively
and are driven by the relaxed mood created by that particular teacher.
We humans have the ability to feel other people's moods and can
easily vibrate in them.

REFLECT

Reflect on the following and write your insights.

1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what


grade year level do you see yourself? What routines and procedures
would you consider for this level Why? If I were to imagine myself in
a classroom, I would strongly suggest that I teach a firstyear high
school class. Why? Because I'd like to work with students who will be
in their first year of high school. I'd like to tap into their fresh
perspective and higher level of inquiry. The first year of high school is
crucial since it is the first time a student encounters something new
and their urge to learn new things is strongest. In terms of their daily
habits, I'd like to incorporate a prayer before our courses begin.
Following that, I'd like to begin my conversation and live greetings for
the students, and I anticipate receiving feedback from them as well.
Third, I'd probably ask a specific student to summarize our lesson
during the previews meeting before moving on to my lessons. I would
conclude my lecture by having my pupils give a quote that will help
them motivate themselves and others, followed by a prayer.

2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why
would you choose these rules?
The following guidelines are something I'd like to put in place.
• When they are in virtual meeting, I would prefer them to wear
their proper uniform and identification or any decent clothes
• When the class is in session, keep muted because they will be
given plenty of time to complete tasks such as reporting, oral
recitation, or answering questions when they return.
• When they leave the classroom, they should make excuses.
• They should apply and treat their classmates with respect.
• When they are present, they should greet their teachers and
visitors politely.
• I'd like to see a higher level of participation from the pupils.
These rules will reduce the disturbance as virtual discussion takes
place and will make the discussion a participative one

3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?


Yes, learners should be involved in making the class rules. In today's
society, children are more than just students in a classroom; they are also
decision-makers. We are also in a progressive curriculum mode, which means
that most of the activities were assisted by the teacher, and it is highly
recommended that students participate in the majority of the activities. The
students should participate in the creation of class rules in order to exercise
their rights to express their opinions and ideas, and to ensure that these rules
are part of the process.

ANALYZE

Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following
questions.
1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class?
Why? Why not?
Yes, the routinary activities in the classroom ensures discipline and order in
the class. According to the Theory of Edward Thorndike The exercise or
practice of the proper response leads to strengthening the connection between
the stimulus and the matching response, according to the exercise law.
Practice strengthens connections, but discontinuing practice weakens them,
as the saying “use it or lose it” suggests. To understand and remember what
has been learnt, the learner must put what has been learned into practice.
Disuse diminishes the learning connection; practice increases it. When a skill
is mastered in the context of a real-world application, exercise becomes more
meaningful and effective.

2. Which of those routines were 'systematic and consistently implemented?


Explain your answer. Checking of tardiness, absenteeism, asking questions
during discussions, and checking of assignments. These routines were
always done by our resource every virtual learning. I think she do it asking
question in the middle of the discussion to check whether the students are
still listening specially that it is difficult to see them since it is virtual
learning. She always shows who submits their assignments to show that
passing assignment is daily checked by our resource speaker. The
attendance of the students is always check before and after the virtual
discussion to ensure that students attend the virtual discussion.

REFLECT

Reflect on the various routines observed.


1. Which of the routines will you most likely apply in your class? Why?
Why not?
Checking of tardiness, absenteeism, asking questions during
discussions, and checking of assignments. These routinary activities
enables learners to attend the virtual discussion. They will be
motivated to do and turn in their assignments. Asking questions as the
discussions continues will make the learners listen and grasp the
lesson I am delivering. This would lessen the learners to do
unnecessary actions during the discussion since they are anticipating
that there is chance that they can be called so they will listen carefully,
and they will focus on what I am teaching them.

ACTIVITY 6.2 Listing Down


Classroom Rules

OBSERVE

Observe a class and list down the classroom rules formulated by the
Resource Teacher. Cite the importance of these rules.
Classroom rules are imperative and must be reinforced for learners'
safety and security. Rules also teach discipline and self-control. Rules
eliminate stress and will provide a more pleasant, secured and non-threatening
environment. Rules ensure the students' engagement and focus in their
classroom activities.
Classroom Rules Importance
1. E.g. Read directions well. - Ensures less error in answering the activity.
2. Use the reaction button in the MS teams- this would enable the teacher to determine
who among the students are participating
3. Enter the virtual room 10-15 minutes - both the teacher as well as the learners could
before the time practice punctuality
4. Always mute the microphone - ensures that the virtual classroom avoids
unnecessary noise
5. Submit assignment on or before the due - ensures that learners are punctual in
date submitting their assignments
6.
ANALYZE

1. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation of


the rule?
Those rules were formed because of the abrupt shifting of educational
landscape due to covid – 19 pandemic wherein Online platform with
the use MS TEASMS is the official learning management of the UCV
thus these rules were necessary to ensure that students will still receive
the quality education that they deserve. Those rules are formulated to
ensure that students can still actively participate in the class
discussion with lesser noise and disruptions.

2. Are classroom rules really important?


Classroom rules are established to teach students how to act in an
appropriate and safe manner in the classroom, hence boosting student
learning. In school, every minute counts. Everything will be in
disarray if the pupils do not have any rules to follow. This could lead
to students inflicting physical and mental harm on one another.
Furthermore, students will not be taught how to behave correctly in
society as they get older. Another factor to consider is that the
student's disruptive behavior will obstruct the learning chances of
other students.

REFLECT

Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher.


Will you have the same rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ?
Explain your answer.
Yes, definitely I will impose the same classroom rules for these
classroom rules are applicable in our online learning. These rules I believe
will help the learners to grasp the lesson and teacher could deliver the
learning objectives smoothly though it is expected that during online some
disturbances and technical errors may pop or rise.

7 Aspects of Classroom
Management
ACTIVITY 7.1 Identifying Personal and Physical Aspects of Classroom Management

Resource Teacher: ______________ Teacher’s Signature: ___________


School: __________
Grade/Year Level: ______________ Subject Area: _________________ Date:
____________

OBSERVE

Observe a class and interview the Resource Teacher. Ask how the
personal and physical aspects of classroom management ensure proper
classroom management and discipline.
Check if these aspects were observed in the classroom.
Aspects of Classroom Management YES NO
1. Personal Classroom Management
1.1 Is the teacher well-groomed that he/she demands respect from the
learners?
1.2 Is the teacher’s voice modulated and can be heard by the entire
class?
1.3 Was the teacher present in class?

1.4 Did the teacher arrive on class in time?

1.5 Does the teacher exude a positive attitude towards teaching?

2. Physical Classroom Management


2.1 Is the classroom well-ventilated?
2.2 Is the lighting good enough?
2.3 Is the classroom free from noise
2.4 Does the seating arrangement provide better interaction
2.5 Is the design/structure of the room inviting to classroom
activities?
2.6 Is the physical space/learning station clear from obstruction?

ANALYZE

Analyze the different elements of personal/physical classroom


management and answer the following questions.

1. How does the voice of the teacher affect classroom instruction?


If the voice of the Resource Teacher is well modulated the learners will
not be sleepy in the middle of the discussion. This will ensure that the
learners will focus while discussion is ongoing. If the voice is well
modulated the learner can focus and can extend their attention span.
The tone of the teacher's voice is a strong tool. In terms of
engagement, behavior, and connection with students, it sets the tone
and climate for the entire classroom. For a teacher, his or her voice is
a valuable asset. When used effectively, the voice can captivate the
attention of students and encourage them to engage with the teacher
and the subject matter. A monotone voice will only boring the pupils
and make them lose interest in paying attention and participating.
Students might also be encouraged to make effective use of their
voices. Instead of telling kids to be quiet, etc., use this method.
Students can be taught how to utilize their voices appropriately, such
as when to be loud and when to be soft, as well as the physiology of
speech.

2. How does the punctuality of the teacher affect classroom discipline?


“Children are great imitators. So, give them something great to
imitate” someone has said. Teachers are the role model in the
classroom. So if learners observe that teachers attend the online class
on or before time, definitely they will do the same thing.

3. Why do we need to check on the physical aspects of classroom


management?
We have to check the physical aspect of the classroom management so
that we ensure that the learning environment for the learners is
conducive. Learners can learn more if they feel comfortable. They can
grasp the lesson if there are limited distraction.

REFLECT

Reflect on the aspects of personal and classroom management.


1. What does this statement mean to you as a future teacher? Explain.
“No amount of good instruction will come out without effective
classroom management.” No matter how ideal your lesson plan is, how
engaging your motivations are or no matter how deep the content of
your lesson is, if the learners don’t feel comfortable while learning
process takes place, there will be no learning at all. Objectives cannot
be achieved. The right classroom management produces an optimum
learning environment. This is critical for the safety, happiness, and
productivity of both teachers and students. A good classroom
management system will help teachers avoid burnout by reducing the
need for yelling, scolding, and other stressful disciplining methods that
generate teacher-student conflict. This type of setting promotes both
academic and social/emotional growth.

2. What are your plans in ensuring effective classroom management?


Since leaners are not in the physical classroom due to pandemic,
to ensure that there is still classroom management, We will create
a classroom rules that fits the online learning wherein every
students can be benefited.

ANALYZE

Analyze the checklist you have accomplished and answer the given questions:
1. How many strategies were employed by the Resource Teacher? Did
these contribute to better classroom management? Explain your
answer.
There are 7 strategies that were employed by the Resource Teacher.
Yes it contribute to better classroom management because learners are
enjoying and actively participating in the classroom discussion. They
share their ideas while strictly following the imposed classroom rules.
Lesson proper is more engaging and per as to my observation learners
can follow grasp the discussion.

2. What were not used by the Resource Teacher? Were these important?
What should have been used instead? Explain.
Check list 1,2,3,7,8,11,12, 15 were not use by the resource teacher.
This were important if there is a face to face learning. We don’t have
the opportunity to witness all these since whether we accept it or not
during virtual learning there are limitations, these were one of the
limitations.

REFLECT

As a future teacher, reflect on the observations then answer the given


question.
1. What classroom management strategies do I need to employ to respond
to diverse types of learners.
Appreciate and accommodate the similarities and differences among the
students' cultures. Effective teachers of culturally diverse students
acknowledge both individual and cultural differences enthusiastically and
identify these differences in a positive manner. This positive identification
creates a basis for the development of effective communication and
instructional strategies. Social skills such as respect and cross-cultural
understanding can be modeled, taught, prompted, and reinforced by the
teacher.
I have to bear in mind that according to Howard Gardner Theory of Multiple
Intelligences said that different intelligences may be independent abilities- a
person can be low in one domain area but high in another. All of us possess
the intelligences but in varying degrees of strength that’s is why we need to
prepare our lesson plan that could cater all kinds of learners. Activities
should also be fit to all learners.

evidence per principle of learning.

Principles of Learning What did the Resource Teacher do to


apply the principles of learning
1. Effective learning begins with the setting The resource teacher states the objectives of
of clear and high expectations of learning the discussion before she starts discussing
outcomes.
2. Learning is an active process The resource teacher asks questions and let
her students answer it
3. Learning is the discovery of personal Before she introduces the lesson, she asked
meaning and relevance of idea. first the opinion or ideas of her students
4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative The Resource Teacher gives/provides group
process. Learning is enhanced in an activities that let her students work with their
atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration. peers

ANALYZE

1. What principles of learning were most applied? Least applied?

The most applied principle of learning is the “Learning is an


Most applied active process”.

Least applied The least applied principle of learning is the “Learning is a


cooperative and collaborative process. Learning is enhanced
in an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration”.
Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?
Setting of clear and high expectations of learning outcomes on the first day of
class as part of the orientation will enable students to know what things are
expected to them. During asynchronous session, teachers should check
whether the learners did their part or not. The teacher should not always
provide everything during class discussion. Teacher should let learners to
discovery of personal meaning and relevance of idea in the topic. The teacher
should try not only once to include in the lesson proper the collaborative
learning even if the set up of education is virtual.

REFLECT

From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most
important?
In our educational landscape today wherein, the teachers are considered to
be only the facilitator and the students are builders of their own learning, the
most important principle of learning is that “Learning is the discovery of
personal meaning and relevance of idea.” As a future full pledge teacher we
should disregard the thought that leaners are like empty vessels or jar that
needs to fill in. Learners of todays generation are already full of rich ideas
stored in their minds. Our role as teacher is to help these learners to discover
in their own the things they want to learn. We are just here for them to guide
them, assist them and facilitate them as they learn from their own pace. We
should always remember that there is more retention of learnings if learners
are learning on their own.

SMART in the learning objectives will guide the teachers with regards in
achieving the desired learning outcomes and will clearly what the teacher
expects from the students, thus the students can prepare their own selves.
It gives them direction towards the learning progression and
comprehension of the students

REFLECT

Reflect on the

Lessons learned in determining SMART learning outcomes

Goals are part of every aspect of life specially education because it


provide a sense of direction, motivation, a clear focus, and clarify
importance. By setting goals, you are providing yourself with a target
to aim for. A SMART goal is used to help guide goal setting. SMART is
an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable,
Realistic, and Timely. Therefore, a SMART goal incorporates all of
these criteria to help focus your efforts and increase the chances of
achieving your goal. Through SMART intended learning outcomes can
be achieve without encountering major problems that could hinder the
delivery of the lesson. SMATR will serve as conceptual framework for
teachers to follow to fully organized their lesson plan.

ACTIVITY 9.3 Distinguishing Between Inductive and Deductive Methods of


Teaching

OBSERVE

I will observe one Resource Teacher with the use of this observation
sheet. Using the guide questions, I shall reflect on my observations and
analysis.

Teacher-centered Student-centered

teachinglearning process? How? Or were they
mere passive recipients of instruction?

Was the emphasis on the mastery of the Was the emphasis on the students’ application
lesson or on the test? Prove. of the lesson in real life? Give proofs.

Was class atmosphere competitive? Why? Was class atmosphere collaborative?

Did teacher focus only on one Did teacher connect lesson to other
discipline/subject? disciplines/subjects?
What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:
a) Constructivist - connected to the past experiences of learners; learners constructed new
lesson meanings

b) Inquiry-based

c) Developmentally appropriate – learning activities fit the developmental stage of children

d) Reflective

e) Inclusive – No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody

f) Collaborative – Students worked together

g) INTEGRATIVE – Lesson was multidisciplinary – e.g. In Science, Math concepts were


taught

ANALYZE

1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely/subject matter for


mastery ad for the test?
If teaching purely/subject matter for mastery and for the test
the possible consequence is that the eagerness of the students to learn
can be reduced. The learners will become dependent, and they will not
put effort to their studies thinking that everything is provided for them.
teaching purely/subject matter for mastery will hinder the development
of other skills such as critical thinking, reading and synthesizing the
information presented to them. Remember that in today’s generation
its not about what to teach but how to learn. Teaching learners how to
learn will help them become competitive even if the content of the
curriculum changes overtime.
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-
centered or student-centered? Why?
It would be student-centered. Remember that learners are not
empty vessel that you have to fill in. Learners should not be viewed as
empty receptacles waiting to be filled but rather be perceived as partners
in the education process. Classroom is considered to be a community with
a great member and if we want them to be responsible let us give them the
responsibility. To learn by doing is the real score of experiential learning.
REFLECT

Reflect on Principles of Teaching worth applying

Learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of


idea. This principle best describes that learner are not empty vessels
or receptacles that should be filled in by the teacher. Learners have
rich ideas stored in their minds. Minds of learners are like a faucet
that once you open it, rich ideas will flow from them. This is the reason
why in the 21st century, teachers are called facilitator of learning. They
are the one who will guide the leaners how to learn but they will not
spoon feed the learners. They should let children discover by
themselves how to learn. Remember that the content of the curriculum
changes overtime and if we guide learners how to learn, no matter how
many times content change it will not affect the learning process since
learners knows how to cope and how to learn. Learners should not be
viewed as empty receptacles waiting to be filled but rather be
perceived as partners in the education process. Classroom is
considered to be a community with a great member and if we want
them to be responsible let us give them the responsibility. To learn by
doing is the real score of experiential learning.

What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing?


I must state that there is no single optimal teaching approach because
our children do not all learn in the same way. There are different students
who respond differently to different ways, as well as different people. Yes,
some pupils learn well with manipulatives, while others learn best through
traditional techniques (actually reading the texts and taking notes). There is
no such thing as the "optimal teaching approach"; just because one method
worked well in one class does not guarantee it would work similarly well in
another. Teachers should avoid relying on a particular teaching method
excessively. A creative teacher should continue to experiment with teaching
styles that are most appropriate for the kind of students, lessons, and learning
environments in which he and his pupils find themselves. Only when the
students learn does the teacher succeed.

REFLECT

Reflect on this question?


How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lessons?

Choosing the right tactics for your teaching objectives and students is the key
to effective teaching. Because kids learn in different ways, it's often beneficial
to use a number of methodologies in a single class, as well as a variety of
different learning activities and projects. In a classroom, there is a diversity
of learners. Learners differ from each other. That is the reason why we should
know the art of teaching and learning where it should be flexible and will
cater all kinds of learners. Again, selecting the appropriate teaching strategy
should be based on the theory of Howard Gardner. The theory of Multiple
Intelligence where he believes that learners may have a high intelligence on
one domain and may have low in another domain. Teaching strategy should
be based on the Learning/thinking styles and to their multiple intelligence.

ACTIVITY 10.2 Determining Outcome-Based Teaching and


Learning

OBSERVE

Observe a class and answer the following questions.

1. Did the Teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning


outcomes? (ILOs) at the beginning of the class? Dis he/she share them
with the class? How?
Yes, the resource teacher often states the intended leaning outcomes
before the class discussion. Yes, she shares it with class. She does it by telling
them that in this discussion these were the things expected to them.
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 teacher uses the Question-and-Answer. Yes, since through asking
questions and based on the answers of the students she can already assess the
extent of the learning of the learners. Since some activities are not really
applicable during the virtual, thus is the reason may be why the teacher uses
the question-and-activity to assess whether the learners meet the ILOs or not.

3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/are aligned with


objectives to the lesson objectives? ILOs?
She uses pen and paper assessment. Yes the questions were based on the
books they are utilizing and will really assessed whether the ILO are meet or
not.

ANALYZE

1. What are your thoughts about Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning


(OBTL)?
Simply said, OBTL is a student-centered approach to learning and
teaching that has gained widespread acceptance in universities throughout the
world. OBE is used at the institutional level, while OBTL is used in the
classroom. The core of OBE is OBTL. OBE is the overarching concept, while
OBTL elaborates on it.
REFLECT

Reflect on the use of OBTL.


Outcome-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) is a student-centered
education strategy in which the program's targeted learning outcomes for
students are explicitly established. After that, teaching and learning activities
are carefully planned to help pupils attain these goals. The evidence of
OBTL's success is based on evaluation outcomes and student learning
experiences. It means that everything a teacher does should be focused on
what they want pupils to know, understand, and be able to do. To put it
another way, teachers should focus on assisting students in developing the
knowledge, abilities, and personalities that will enable them to attain the
clearly specified planned outcomes. When creating an OBE syllabus, we
commonly use a procedure called "constructive alignment." Which refers to
the process of creating a learning environment that encourages students to
engage in learning activities that lead to the intended learning outcomes. The
term 'constructive' relates to how a learner uses relevant learning activities to
generate meaning. The teacher's actions are referred to as "alignment." The
components of the teaching system, particularly the teaching techniques
employed and the assessment tasks, must be linked to the learning activities
assumed in the intended results.

ACTIVITY 10.3 Applying Effective Questioning Techniques

OBSERVE

Resource Teacher asks during the classroom discussion. Write the questions
raised and identify the level of questioning.

ANALYZE

1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as a question mark and


leave school as periods1” does this something to do with the type of
question that teachers ask and the questioning and reacting techniques
that they employ?
This quotation has something to do with a successful questioning of a
teacher inside the classroom. that one important but critical component of the
teaching and learning process is the knowledge and abilities employed in
asking various types of questions in the classroom. Questions are significant
variables in the teaching and learning process because children's
accomplishment and level of involvement are influenced by the types of
questions teachers create and utilize in the classroom. As a result, teachers
must be cautious while designing/formulating questions in order to pique
students' interest, elicit ideas, clarify concepts, and challenge preconceptions.
When students are asked the correct questions, they improve their listening
and thinking skills. As a result, teachers must evaluate their current
questioning strategies.

Based on the Technology Integration Matrix on p. 123, the level of
technology integration of the resource teacher I observed operated was under
the Transformation level. This because the teacher has created a rich learning
environment in which the learners are regularly and actively engage in
activities that would have been impossible to achieve without technology
specially that there is a no face-to-face class due to pandemic.
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.
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, the characteristic of the
learning environment in the class that I observed, it is Constructive. With the
aid of the technology, learners were able to use technology to construct or
build their own understanding rather than simply receiving information from
the teacher. The technology serves as tool for the learners to discover and
create their own ideas and understanding. It aids them in the whole teaching
and learning process.

Overall, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give

ANALYZE

1. Why should a teacher find out if students understand the lesson


while teaching is in progress? It is not better to do a once-and for-
all assessment at the completion of the entire lesson?
The teacher should assess whether the learners understood the
topic while teaching is in progress so that she can able to augment
remediation if she found out that learners have difficulty in
understanding the topic.

2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask “Did you understand,


class?” when he/she intends to check on learners’ progress?
There is a possibility, some learners are embarrass to tell that they
don’t understood the lesson specially when majority of the class
said yes.

3. Should teacher record results of formative assessment for grading


purposes? Why or why not?
Formative assessment should not be recorded for grading
purposes. Formative assessment is used to assess the prior
knowledge of the learners, what best teaching strategy works for
them all, their weaknesses, and strengths.

4. Based on your observations, what formative assessment practice


worked? The best Formative assessment works for students is the
pre-test examination. This will enable you as a teacher to measure
the prior knowledge of the learners and how you will introduce
the topic.

5. For formative assessment, why is peer tutoring in class sometimes


seen to be more effective that teacher himself/herself doing the re-
teaching or tutoring?
Sometimes Peer Tutoring is most effective since learners
sometimes have the same length of understanding. Learners will
not afraid to ask questions to their peers and peers who
understood the lesson can explain it in a simple way.

6. Could an unreasonable number of failures at the end of the


term/grading period attributed to the non-application of formative
assessment? Why or why not?
Yes, unreasonable number of failures at the end of the
term/grading period attributed to the non-application of formative
assessment. Formative Assessment is used to assess or determine
the needs of each individual learner in the classroom. To assess
what are the future problems that may occur as you proceed to the
learning process and provide tangible solutions for these
problems. To determine the teaching strategies to be utilized to
cater the needs of all types of learners. If, it happened thereof that
teacher did not apply formative assessment, then consequent
failures is attributed to it.

REFLECT

• Formative assessment is tasting the soup while cooking. Reflect on this


and write your reflections.
Formative Assessment is like tasting what needs to do as you go on to
the learning process. By tasting a soup you can determine if it salty or
not, does the soup tase better or not, in like manner Formative
assessment will tell you what lacks of what is abundant in the learners
knowledge. It will tell ahead of time the problems you may encounter
thus letting you to prepare ahead of time a tangible solution to these.

• Should you record results of formative assessment? Why or why not?


Yes, you may record the result of the formative assessment not as a
grading your learners but as a reference for you to look back what is
the problem and how you will you go about the problem.

ANALYZE

1. If the students are at the heart of all assessment, then all assessment
should support students learning. Do you agree? Why or why not?
Yes, assessment should support students learning. Through assessment
you can already determine whether the learners have understood the
lesson or not. You an already determine what went wrong and what is
the best strategy that is applicable to all of them. Thus, assessment will
guide you to help your learners in the learning process.
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, point-in-time exams.
Assessment FOR Learning integrates assessment techniques into the
teaching and learning process to ensure that instructional strategy is
constantly adjusted. 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

The primary purpose of assessment is not to measure but to further


learning. Reflect on your personal experiences of assessment in school. Were
you given opportunities for self-assessment? If yes, what was its impact on
your learning?
Yes, we were given the opportunities to assess our own self. This helps me a
lot to determine what kind of learner I am. I discovered my strength and
weaknesses. I discovered my learning styles and meditated. Through self-
assessment, I was able to know the thing the I need to focus more and

ANALYZE

1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why
do you think that type of rubric was used more?
HOLISTIC, it emphasizes on what the learner is able to demonstrate,
rather than what s/he cannot do
Based on your answer in #1, what can you say about the scoring
rubrics made and used by the Resource Teachers?
HOLISTIC, single criteria rubrics (one-dimensional) used to assess
participants' overall achievement on an activity or item based on
predefined achievement levels; performance descriptions are written
in paragraphs and usually in full sentences.

2. Will it make difference in assessment of students work if teacher


would rate the product or performance without scoring rubrics?
Explain.
Yes, the teacher will not have a basis on assessing the student works
and it will create a notion that the teacher is bias or unfair in grading
each student works.

3. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and
how?
It would be students engagement and collaboration. In a rubrics,
students engagement and how they collaborate with their peer must
also be recorded. Include in the rubrics the collaboration and instill
that their collaboration is recorded and given a points.

4. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is written paper-


and-pencil test, be considered and authentic form of assessment?
Explain your answer.
Yes, they can be still considered as an authentic form of assessment.
The forced-choice measures of multiple-choice examinations, fill-in-
the-blanks, true-false, matching, and the like that have been and
remain so ubiquitous in education are referred to as "traditional
assessment" (TA). To complete the evaluation, students usually choose
an answer or recollect material. These tests could be standardized or
devised by the teacher.
5. Can rubrics help make students to become self-directed or independent
learners? Do rubrics contribute to assessment AS learning (self-
assessment?) What if there were no rubrics in assessment?
Yes, rubrics will direct learners to what they need to do. Yes, rubrics
contribute to assessment as learning. If there is no rubrics, students
will not know what skills they need to master in a certain activity, the
teacher will not have a basis on grading the learners which will look
like a bias.
Does the Scoring Rubric is this FS BOOK 1 help you come up with
better output? Yes, the Scoring Rubric is this FS BOOK 1 help me
come up with better output.

REFLECT

Are authentic assessment tools and tasks new? Reflect on your experiences of
tests for all the years as student.
Yes, authentic assessment tools and tasks new because we are having our
online class due to covid19 pandemic. Some assessment don’t really measure
the extent of the learnings of the learners since answers can already found in
the internet. Its hard to determine whether learners learned or because of
internet they were able to answer all kinds of assessments.

As a future teacher, reflect on how will you contribute to the development of


learner’s HOTS?
Creating a HOTS question will enable students to vent out all their rich ideas,
the readings they made in the topic presented and all the things they acquire
as teaching and learning took place. I would create assessments that will
measure the skills intended on that certain topic.

ACTIVITY 13.7 Computing Student’s Grades based on DepEd
Grading System

OBSERVE

A. SAMPLE STUDENTS REPORT CARD

1. Secure a sample of a Student’s Report Card from your Resource


Teacher.
2. Study a sample of an unused Student’s Record Card. Observe in
contents.
3. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for an interview with
him/her and with a group student regarding the new grading
system.

B. INTERVIEW OF RESOURCE TEACHER

1. What are the new features of the latest grading system? What
things are you required to do with this grading system which you
were not asked before?
The Department of Education, or DepEd, will use a new
competency-based grading system for the K-12 Basic Education
Program beginning in the 2015-2016 school year per D.O. No. 8,
s.2015. The new grading system will use fewer grading system
components and a new transmutation table than the previous
Knowledge, Process, Understanding, and Performances (KPUP)
grading system.

Students' summative assessment results will be based on all of their


Written Works,
Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment (WW-PT-QA)
scores from Grades 1 to 12. These three have different percentage
weights depending on the type of learning area.

From kindergarten to senior high school, all public schools must


comply. Although private schools are not obligated to follow the
same rules, the Department of Education strongly encourages
them to do so. Non-DepEd schools, on the other hand, can change
their policies to fit their mission and vision, but only with DepEd
Regional Office approval.

2. Which do you prefer- the old or the new grading system? Why? The
new grading system. Since you don’t have to manually compute the
grades of the learners. Just encode all the necessary information
on the give e-class record then it will automatically compute for
the learner’s grade. There are fewer things to consider on the new
grading system at the same it lessens the work load of the teacher
in computing grades.

C. INTERVIEW OF 5 STUDENTS
1. What do you like in the new grading system?
There are three categories which we can get our grade. If I get
lower in one aspect, I can make good in another aspect

2. Do you have problems with the new grading system? If there is,
what? No, the learners have no problems with the new grading
system.

3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your
performance? Why or why not?
Yes, we can see where we did not perform well and where we
performed well. From that we can assess our own whole
performance during the quarter.

4. Which do you prefer- the old or the new grading system? Why?
We, prefer the new grading system. We can There are fewer things
to consider on the new grading system and we will know where
and what to focus.

D. REVIEW OF DEPED ORDER #8, s. 2015

Read DepED Order #8 s. 2015. You may refer to Appendix A.


Based on DepED Order 8, s. 2015, answer the following:
1. What are the bases for grading?
Written Work (WW) – makes sure students can express skills and
contents in written form
Performance Tasks (PT) – lets learners show what they know and can
do in diverse ways Quarterly Assessment (QA) – measures student
learning at the end of the quarter

2. How do you compute grades per quarter for grades 1 to 10 and grades
11 to 12. Give an example.
To calculate your final grades, follow the instructions below.
Add up all of the component's total scores.
Convert each component's total to a percentage score. Multiply the
quotient by 100 percent after dividing the entire raw score by the
greatest possible score.
Calculate the weighted average of the percentage scores. Multiply the
PS by the component's weight as given in Table 1.
Sum up the weighted scores of each component to get the initial grade.
Transmute the initial grade to get the quarterly grade using the new
transmutation table.

3. How do you compute grades at the end of the school year?


The average of the Quarterly Grades (QG) produces the Final Grade.
Final Grade by Learning Area
The General Average is computed by dividing the sum of all final
grades by the total number of learning areas. Each learning area has
equal weight.

The Final Grade in each learning area and the General Average are
reported as whole numbers.

4. What descriptions and grading scale are used in reporting progress of


learners?

5. What are the bases for learners’ promotion and retention at the end of
the school year? For Grades 1 to 3 Learners Promotion and Retention
Requirements Decision

E. GRADE COMPUTATION
Show sample computations of a grade:
• In a subject of your choice from grade 1 to 6 (if you are a future
elementary teacher)
• In your specialization if you are a high school teacher)
• Show the percentage contributions of written work, performance tasks
and quarterly assessment. Then give the descriptor. Refer to DepEd
Order # 8, s. 2015.

ANALYZE

Analyze data and information gathered from the interview and from your
review of an unused Student’s Report Card and the DepEd grading system.

1. Do teachers and students like the new grading system? Why or why
not?
Yes, both like the new grading system. For teachers, it is easy to use,
and it has fewer components. For students the grading system is not
bias and fair.

2. What are the good points of the new grading system according to
teachers? According to students?
The teachers don’t need manually compute for the grades of their
learners. They just have to input everything and by the use of the e-
class record grades of learners are automatically computed and
transmuted. According to learners the new grading system is good
since their grade will be transmuted and they will nor worry if they do
not meet the 75 grade for average learners.
3. What are teachers challenged to do by this new grading system?
The challenged is how will those old teachers utilized the e-class
record. They are not technologically literate. They do not know how to
use excel.

4. Do you favor the distribution of percentages of written work,


performance tasks and quarterly assessment?
Yes, it is unbiased and fair for every learners.

5. Did you like the experience of computing grades? Why or why not?
Yes, I like it very much. It is an edge for me in my future endeavors. It
will not new anymore for me to compute the grades of learners when I
am already in the teaching profession.

REFLECT

In an era where the emphasis is self-directed learning and demonstration of


competenciesknowledge, skills and values learned (outcomes-based
education)-do grades really matter?
In my own perception, in this era, grades do not really matter. Grades will
just show your performance in school. In this harsh world, even if you have
the highest grade if you are not skilled enough, you will never have the life
you dream of. In today’s era, what counts is your skills. Pride cannot pay your
bills. Even if you have a high grade and the only work open for you is waiter,
then take the job. It shows therefore, that grades do not really matter. What
matters is the life skills you learn in the four corners of the room.
The values you acquire, skills and attitude is what matters in this real world.
ACTIVITY 13.8
Reporting Students’ Performance

OBSERVE

Proceedings in a Card Distribution Day


1. Observe how cards are distributed on Card Distribution Day. Describe
how cards are distributed.
Way back when there is still a face-to-face learning, the distribution of
cards is every PTA meeting at the end of every quarter.

2. Describe how the Resource Teachers communicated learners’


assessment results and grades to present.
Based on my observation when there is still a face-to-face learning, the
adviser talks privately to the parents of learners who need extra
attention or those learners who have low grades.

3. Did parents raise questions or concerns? If yes, what were their


questions/ concerns? Yes, parents did ask questions concerns like how
they will be able to determine the awardees, the behavior of their child
and some matters like requirements.

4. How did the Resource Teacher handle their questions and concerns?
What answers did he/she give?
Going back when there is still a face-to-face, the teacher handles the
question by answering it one by one. She answered it base on the
memorandum given to her not her merely opinion. She shows some
evidences like her journal and class record to support her answers and
o provided a satisfactory answer to the parents.

Interview with Resource Teacher


1. How do you give feedback to your students regarding their
performance? When do you give feedback?
The teacher gives feedback during Homeroom PTA Meeting. She
usually does it at the ed of the grading period. Sometimes individual
feedback is written on the card of each learner.

2. How do you report student’s performance to parents? Does the school


have a regular way of reporting grades to parents?
Through conducting a homeroom PTA meeting. Yes, the school have
and it usually done every after the grading period.

3. What problems on grade reporting did you encounter with parents?


How did you address it/them?
Some parents do not attend the Homeroom PTA Meeting. Some just
attend exactly when card is being distributed. A teacher sends a
private message to the parents who did not attended the meeting or
sometimes she calls the parents through phones.

Interview with Students


1. Do you see the meaning of your grades in the School Report Card?
Yes, I can see the meaning of my grades in my School Report Card.

2. Does knowing your grade motivate you to work harder?


Yes. Knowing my grades motivates me to work harder and spend more
time in studying.

Interview with Parents

1. Does your child’s Report Card give you a clear picture of your child is
performing? Yes, through my child’s report card I can see whether he
study well or not.

2. If you were asked what else should be found in the Report Card, which
one? Why? Everything that needed to be found in the School Report
Card have it all. There is nothing to needed to put there. I can see the
feedback of his adviser, his grades, his values and her absents in class.

3. Do you find the Card Distribution Day important? Why or why not?
Yes, the Card Distribution Day is very important. This where I can get
personally ask questions to the adviser of my child and personally ask
the problems she encountered while teaching my child.

4. Any suggestion on how to make Card Distribution more meaningful?


There should be at least short presentation like allow parents to
perform dance and sing with their child.

ANALYZE

1. What were the most common issues raised on students’ performance?


The common issues raised on student’s performance is their attitude
and absenteeism in the class.

2. Based on your observations and findings, what practices must be


a) Maintained and Is the quarterly reporting on
student’s performance

b) Improved to make grades and reporting


meaningful?
Have some activity that requires the participation of parents and
the child during the reporting
REFLECT

1. Grades are often a source of misunderstanding. How should I do


reporting so that it will result to effective learning?

Before reporting, a teacher should first discuss the memorandum


on how the grades of each learner are being computed. Show all
the output of the learners that will serve as an artifact or evidence
on how each learner individually perform.

Tell also first the good ones that the learners have shown during
the quarter. If the learners have negative attitude, never tell it to
the whole class rather tell it to the concerned parents privately.

Then thank the parents for attending the reporting and listening to
how the grades of their child are being computed.

You may change your sample Teacher in Activity 1 with another
teacher or you can still observe the same teacher. In case you will not
change your teacher to be observed the same teacher will be your
sample for both Activity 1 and Activity 2. Aside from direct
observation, you will also do a Survey in Activity 2.

ANALYZE

Did you learn from your observation of the teacher? Now let us analyze
the information that you have gathered.

Answer the following Questions.


1. In Activity 1, what do you consider as the 3 most outstanding
significant personal qualities of the teacher you chose as your case?
Why do you consider these as outstanding?
a) Empathy. Empathy is a valuable trait to have in a teacher.
Children and adolescents have strong emotions and are often
coping with issues that we are unaware of outside of the
classroom. It's critical for a teacher to be able to connect with
their feelings, even if it doesn't seem significant. Children and
adolescents require validation of their feelings in order to fully
comprehend and process them. This is critical in assisting
children in reaching emotional maturity. Teachers who lack
empathy are unable to assist students in overcoming actual
obstacles, whether little or major. It's critical for a teacher to
be able to put themselves in a student's shoes and make them
feel understood. It's critical to be compassionate and
considerate when teaching to ensure that students feel
protected.
b) Patience. Every kid will face their own set of challenges. Some
people will have trouble reading. Math will be difficult for
others. Others find it difficult to sit still during the school day!
Patience on the part of the teacher is crucial in assisting
students in overcoming their difficulties. Patience is a
necessary for a successful teacher in large classrooms with
numerous kids who are all different. And, as a teacher,
displaying patience is an excellent approach to set an example
for children. Patience is a crucial quality for effective
instructors, both in practice and as a role model.

c) Adaptable. Certain expectations may not always be met when


dealing with others, whether pupils or other teachers. Your
teaching approaches may not be appropriate for a particular
class, timetables may change, and changes may be required
with little or no notice. A great teacher can adapt their
teaching methods and expectations in order to continue to be
successful. They are always willing to assess what is working
for their kids and make adjustments as needed. This quality is
critical for teachers who wish to ensure that each student
succeeds in their classroom. When it comes to teaching, it's
critical to always move your courses around in a way that
promotes the most effective learning.

REFLECT

Good teachers are the 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 characteristics of your model teacher that has
made a great impact in your life as a learner. Reflect and describe how
this quality influenced you.
“A good teacher can give you a lot of facts that you will remember for
a day, but a great teacher can help you find knowledge that you will
remember for the rest of your life.”
Way back during my Senior High School life, it was never easy for me.
My classmate who helped me a lot during my Junior High School went to
another school. My classmate whom I depended on so much transferred to
private schools. Its hard for me to adjust but I cannot forget the 2 teachers on
my Senior High School one had challenged my capabilities, my knowledge
and skills upon knowing that I came from a Science Curriculum. This teacher
uttered a sentence which until now is inculcated in my heart and mind. “Is this
the project of a Senior High School Student which came from a Science
Curriculum?” from thereon, I always challenged myself to have an output
expected to me. Those questions helped me surpassed the limitations I myself
have set. That I can go beyond what I knew my limitations is. That I can
always surpass what is expected to me. This teacher boost my confidence. This
teacher taught me that I just have to discover my innate abilities and skills
and that I can surpass my limitations. I am grateful for this teacher for
indirectly telling me that “I just depend too much on my friends and now that
we part ways it is my time to stand on my own and create my own image. The
second one is a teacher who sees my potential. She encourages me to take the
major what my Heart dictates. She told me that she believes in me. Even
though I told her that I cannot pursue it because I am not good at numbers or
even formulas, she told me I can that’s why I made it until now.
Indeed, those 2 teachers do not just provides me a lot of facts that I
could remember just for a day but they help me seek knowledge that I could
remember for the rest of my life. The way how they can relate to their students
and how they can relate to me personally, it shows on thing. You can never be
a great teacher no matter how you mastered your topics or no matter how
good your teaching strategies are because a great teacher is someone who
can touch hearts and transformed lives.

ANALYZE

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?
Management of learning shows majority of the indicators being practiced
2. Which demonstrated behavior, do you find in the teacher that is
worthy of emulation when you become a teacher? Describe
For me as I observe the class of our Resource Speaker, being
approachable and shows empathy to her learners is worthy to be
emulated when I become teacher. As a teacher we must always wear
the shoes of our learners. Let us try to understand why they are like
this, why they committed this and why they behave like that. From that
we can approach them and empathetically teach them the things they
need to learn. This is the reason why her learners are comfortable with
each other and there is smooth teaching and learning process.

3. Which of the major responsibilities does this teacher find difficult to


comply with? What are the reasons?
For me the major responsibilities does our resource speaker find
difficult to comply with is acts as facilitator of learning. In this virtual
learning, there is a need for the resource teacher to provide all the
necessary information since there is no assurance that the learners are
really learning at their own pace. If she will just let learners learned
by themselves then there is possibility that not all learners will learn.

4. From your perspective, would you consider this teacher as quality


teacher? Why?
From my own perspective, I would consider our Resource Speaker as a
quality teacher. Despite the challenges brought by online learning, she
still delivers the topic and achieving the desired Intended Learning
Outcomes. She makes sures that her learners accomplish the posted
assignment and they actively participate during the online discussion.
She does not only teach what is found in the book but teaches from the
heart. Indeed, this teacher can touch heart and transformed lives.

REFLECT

Now, that you have spent one school day to observe 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?

After my observation, I was inspired to become a teacher. Indeed, teaching is the noblest
profession one may ever have but it not easy as what others think. After the things I saw
during my observation, the smiles and the sense of satisfaction of the learners and my
resource teacher I was motivated to pursue this profession.

2. When you become a teacher in the future, how else would you do better as a
professional teacher?

I would develop my sense of empathy and adaptable to change. Being


empathetic to my learners will help me to establish a good relationship and
communication to my learners. Learners can freely tell what their problem is and
what’s bothering them and from that I can offer help to them.

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.

Culture shock when face-to-face


learning returns and Learner’s
engagement during virtual class
For me I would still be ready to address just give us trainings and enough
time to adapt
4. In what aspects of the teacher’s day, would you like to congratulate the
teacher you observed? Can you show your appreciation to this teacher by
sending a Thankyou card?
(Include this in your artifact)
I would like to congratulate my resource teacher for being approachable
to her learners including to us. Her example made me realize that its not
what you taught that the learners will remember but how you taught them.

Activity 16.2
Articulating My Personal Philosophy of Teaching
OBSERVE

• Observe how a teacher relates to every learner and he/she proceeds


with her teaching.
• Accomplish this Observation Sheet.

Here are philosophies of education. Find out which philosophies were


manifested in class by observing what and how teacher teaches and relates
to learners.

Philosophies of Education Teaching Behavior (State what the


teacher said, taught or did)
1. Essentialism – each mastery of the basics; In what way was teacher essentialist?
curriculum is prescribed;
Subject matter – centered there are universal, e.g. He/She saw to it that the students

He/She inculcated values.


2. Perennialism – teach those that last, the classics; The teacher reminds the learners the

4. Reconstructionism – school is agent of change; Allowing the learners to have a peer-

teaching is involving the students in discussion of Providing learners how to adapt and
moral dilemmas how to learn
5. Existentialism – teachers teach learners to make a The teacher and school provides time

6. Pragmatism – That which is useful, that which is The teacher instead of discussing how
practical and that which works is what good; that does plate boundaries move she shows
which is efficient and effective is that which is animated video clips to catch the
good, e.g. showing a video clip on mitosis is more attention of the learners

practical than teacher coming up a visual aid by The teacher shows pictures to farther
drawing mitosis on a cartolina or illustration board proves what she is discussing and
presenting concrete evidence.

7. Rationalism – emphasizes the development of the The teacher creates a question that
learners’ reasoning powers; knowledge come learners need to answer based on facts
through reason; teacher must develop the reasoning and base on what is being discussed
power of the learner during the discussion
8. Utilitarianism – what is good is that which is The teacher uses teaching strategies

9. Empiricism – source of knowledge is through the The teacher let the students perform

.10. Behaviorism – behavior is shaped deliberately The teacher provides additional points
by forces in the environment and that the type of to those learners who actively engage
person and action desired can be the product of themselves during class discussion like
design; behavior is determined by others, rather answering the question or sharing their
than by persons own free will; teacher must ideas
carefully shape desirable behavior; drills are
commonly used to enhance learning. Rewards
reinforce learning.

11. Constructivism – learners are capable of The teacher posted an activity that let
constructing knowledge ang meaning; learners inquire for them to answer.
teachinglearning therefore is constructing Through inquiry, learners have learn to
knowledge and meaning; teacher does not just “tell” construct their own knowledge or idea
or dictate but asks learners for knowledge they
construct and meaning of lesson.

12. Other philosophies

ANALYZE

1. Based on your findings and observations in your Activity 16.1 and


Activity 16.2, which philosophies of education are dominant in
Philippine basic schools? Why do you say so?
Based on my findings and observations in Activity 16.1 and Activity
16.2, philosophies of education that are dominant in Philippine basic
schools’ teachers adhered to a high level of progressivism educational
philosophy and a high level of existentialist and reconstructionism
orientation.
2. If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more
attention to, what should that be and why?
If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more
attention to, that should be Pragmatism. We all know that curriculum
is dynamic. It means it can change overtime and if we teach learners
them practical ways how to learn then definitely no matter how any
times curriculum it will not affect the learning of the learners since
they already knew how to learn.
