LESSON 10: LITERACY TRAINING PROGRAM

What is Literacy Training Service?

Literacy Training Service (LTS) - is designed to train the students to teach literacy and
numeracy skills to school children, out-of-school youth and other segments of society in need of
their services.

Define Literacy:
Literacy (noun) the ability to read and write. The word literate is from the Latin literatus, meaning
learned or lettered.
Alberta Education defines literacy as the ability, confidence and willingness to engage with
language to acquire, construct and communicate meaning in all aspects of daily living.
Language is explained as a socially and culturally constructed system of communication.

But why is literacy so important? Research shows that people with good literacy skills are more
likely to have greater self-esteem, improved health, better jobs and higher wages than those
with poor literacy skills. They are more able to take advantage of the opportunities that life may
offer them.

Literacy training services:

1. School-based tutorial learning program

2. The students provide assistance to public elementary pupils who have difficulties in
reading and arithmetic. The tutorial activities are conducted in the elementary schools.
3. Community-based/home-based tutorial learning program
4. The students provide assistance to children in the communities who have difficulties in
reading and arithmetic. Tutorial activities are conducted in barangay halls, covered
courts, multi-purpose halls or at the houses of these children.

What is the significance of Literacy Training Services in our country?

The Philippines shared a significant rate of low performers among all PISA-participating
countries and economies. That is, 80% of the Filipino students did not reach the minimum level
of proficiency in reading.

IMPACT:
1. Awareness into the surroundings.
2. Development of students in literacy.
3. Social bonds stronger.
4. Helps the educators towards their works.
5. Unleashes ignorance.
 Beneficiaries:
1. Students
2. Out-of-school youth
—The term ''out-of- school youth'' means— (A) an eligible youth who is a school
dropout; or (B) an eligible youth who has received a secondary school diploma or its
equivalent but is basic skills deficient, unemployed, or underemployed.
3. Educators
4. Students under NSTP-LTS subject.

What is Numeracy Training Services?

-Numeracy training service is designed to teach numeracy skills to children out-of-school
youth, and other segments of society in need of their services.
What is Numeracy skills?
--The ability to reason with numbers and other mathematical concepts.
-The ability to use, interpret and communicate mathematical information to solve real-
world problems.
-The ability to understand basic math like addition, subtraction, division and
multiplication.
Examples of Numeracy Skills

 Basic knowledge of numbers

 Solving number problems
 Counting
 Adding and Subtracting numbers
 Understanding the relationship between numbers
Importance of Numeracy Skills
Numeracy is one of the fundamental skills that a learner must develop. From kinder to
Grade 6 students are taught of the fundamental operations in solving problems and use it as a
life skill in everyday life. It is one of the main focus of the teachers along with the literacy since
these two are the emerging problems of the Department of Education in the Philippines. We use
numeracy every day in all areas of our lives. Our confidence and ability with numbers impacts
us financially, socially, and professionally.
PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING AND LEARNING

•There are three constants in life: change, choice, and principles. This couldn't be any
truer. The world is changing by the minute, and the only way to survive and succeed is
by adapting and making the right choices. Everything and anything around us is guided
by one principle or the other. What are principles? Principles are the basic guidelines or
foundations within which things must operate.

•Teaching is a complex profession, and it would be chaotic if it worked without taking into
account the major principles of teaching and learning. Having said that, more principles
are added every day because of the changes that happen around us. Holding on to a
particular set of principles of teaching might backfire. Hence, it is important to shake and
alter the list every now and then.

EFFECTIVE TEACHING & LEARNING PRINCIPLES

•CREATING AN ACTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

A classroom must never be monologed in nature. It should be a platform for dialogues

where the students and teachers are equal participants. In order to foster an active
learning environment.

•ESTABLISH A RAPPORT BETWEEN THE STUDENTS AND THE TEACHER

One of the most overlooked things when it comes to teaching and learning is the rapport
between the teacher and student.The students must feel at ease and they should feel
comfortable.

•INCLUSIVITY

Every kid is different. The type of learning, the pace at which they learn, their
understanding, everything varies from one person to the other. It was also found that the
previous learnings and understanding of the students affect their studies.

•HELPING STUDENTS TO MANAGE TIME

Assignments, tests, notes, homework, examinations, evaluations, attendance, there are

a lot of things that the students have to take care of, and not just for one subject. While
all this is for the betterment of the students, the teachers should understand that the day
is just 24 hours.

•ADAPTABILITY AND BETTERMENT

The education landscape is ever-changing and ever evolving.No matter how learned you
think you are, there are still things that you are unaware of. Be informed about the
changes that are happening in the field and employ what you can in your classroom.

•MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION

More often than not, students feel demotivated. They don't feel like studying or doing the
work. Teachers must reaffirm their faith and inspire them to do better. This is another
important principle of teaching. When it comes to principles of teaching, motivating and
inspiring students, makes it to the chart because one of the primary concerns of
teachers is to shape the future generation. Motivating the students even when they fail
and fall down must be the crux of the concern for teachers.

Theories of teaching and learning progress

Learning theories are framework that explain how people acquire and retain knowledge
they provide a systematic way to understand how individuals process and respond to
new information different theories focus on different theories on different aspects of
learning process such as cognitive behavioral and constructivist approaches.

Example: learning progress

One example of learning theory is behaviorism which focuses on observable occurs
through the reinforcement

There are have 5 primary education learning theories

* Behaviorism
*Cognitive learning theory
*Constructivist learning theory
*Humains learning theory
*Connectivism learning theory

Behaviorism - is the approach to understand the behavior of human

Cognitive learning theory -focus on the internal process surrounding information and
memory cognitive learning has application for teaching student as young as infants all
the way up to adult learning picking up new skills

Constructivist learning theory -learners construct knowledge rather than just passively
take information as people experience the word and reflect upon those experience

Humains learning theory -emphasize the freedom autonomy of learning

Connectivism learning theory -learning occurs when peers connected and share opinion
viewpoint and ideas through a collaboration process.
WHAT IS LESSON PLAN?
Lesson plan is essentially a road map for a particular lesson that includes what to
teach how to teach it and what learning outcomes you aim to achieve. A good plan will
help you stay organized and provide a structure for your instruction for a specific class or
topic.

WHAT SHOULD A LESSON PLAN INCLUDE?

With all that said, a basic lesson plan that you can use in the classroom outlines
the lesson and providers an overview of how you will teach the topic at hand.

HOW TO WRITE A LESSON PLAN MORE EASILY

• determine your objectives
• use lesson plan template
• work with your grade level team
• consider prior knowledge
• break things down by time
• think about how your students learn
• use teach created resources
• be agile

VISUAL AIDS ACTIVITY

presentation. It can also be used to maintain an audience attention , or make a
presentation more persuasive.

EXAMPLES OF VISUAL AIDS

• objects
• images
• diagrams
• data graphs
• charts (pie charts)
• videos

ADVANTAGES OF USING VISUAL AIDS

• makes processing of information easier
• makes learning interesting
• drive motivation
• aid better comprehension
• help store information longer

DISADVANTAGES OF USING VISUAL AIDS

• using visual aids can distract your audience from your speech as they pay more
attention on the visual aids.
• This is really time consuming and you may end up giving more time to this than to your
speech.
• costly
