Episode 3.1: Learner’s Gender, Needs, Strengths, Interests, and Experiences

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities. This lesson will guide you in understanding your
students’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences.

Objectives:

1. Observe how stakeholders can promote a gender – sensitive school/classroom.

2. Discuss the steps in creating a student – centered classroom.
3. Determine the strengths and weaknesses of your students.

Education Theory
Anikee Ezekiel once quoted that the ability to recognize and respect individual differences is
the beginning of a successful relationship. Student – teacher relationship is very important to
promote a more effective instruction. However, this will be impossible without knowing the
uniqueness and differences of your students – the heart and center of teaching and learning.

To promote gender – sensitive classrooms, the DepEd Order 32, series of 2017. This policy
ensures a gender – responsive physical and social environment that promotes respect for all people
and has a zero tolerance for all forms of discrimination, violence, and abuse. It also promotes the
institutionalization of gender – responsive teaching – learning plans, guides, processes, activities,
mechanisms, and measures. With this policy, we can assure that gender stereotyping which ignores
individual differences in basic education will be prevented.

To ensure that classroom learning is fun and enjoyable, the needs and interests of the students
should be the priority of every school. RA 10533 adheres to this principle by making the curriculum
learner – centered, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate. Moreover, this policy makes
education learner – oriented and responsive to the needs, cognitive and cultural capacity, as well as
the circumstances and diversity of learners, school, and communities.

Through these policies, schools can follow a learner – centered curriculum that is anchored in
the learners’ needs and interests. Barnes (2103) outlines five steps to create a progressive, student –
centered classroom:

1. Create ongoing projects

2. Integrate technology

3. Replace homework with engaging in – class activities

4. Eliminate rules and consequences

5. Involve students in evaluation
