INTRODUCTION

Teaching is a Noble profession and the path to become a teacher is paved with
anticipation, excitement, and a deep sense of purpose. As I stand on the cusp of this journey, I
find myself filled with a mix of eagerness and humility.

This portfolio is the representation of my journey and the result of my challenging yet
memorable experiences, learnings, and development as a future teacher. You will discover a
thorough examination of my instructional designs, classroom management techniques,
pedagogical approach, and reflections on my practicum experiences during my Field Study 1.

I was once a fan of my teachers and they are the ones who inspired me and the reason for
my desire to enter the world of education. Through my dedication and perseverance to become
one of them I’ve also drawn to the idea of guiding young minds, nurturing their curiosity, sharing
my knowledge and helping them discover their own potential.

My journey to this point has been marked as one of the challenging yet memorable field
study that I’m going encounter. By a passion for knowledge, a love for working with children,
and a commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of others I am eager to learn from
experienced educators, accepting corrections and lessons, to engage with diverse learners, and to
contribute to the vibrant tapestry of the educational landscape. This serves as one of my
aspirations, my commitment to the profession, and my readiness to embark on this new exciting
yet challenging journey.

BELIEFS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING (PRE AND POST)

It is crucial to understand and internalize the basic common beliefs in teaching and learning both
before and after stepping into the classroom. These beliefs serve as the foundation for effective teaching
practices and lifelong learning for students. By recognizing and embracing these beliefs, educators can
create a positive and conducive learning environment that fosters growth, development, and academic
success.

One of the fundamental beliefs in teaching and learning is that every student is unique and has
their own set of strengths, weaknesses, interests, and learning styles. It is essential for the teachers to
recognize and respect these differences in order to effectively cater their diverse needs. By
acknowledging their individuality, educators can tailor their teaching methods and strategies to ensure
that all of their students have the opportunity to learn and succeed. Additionally, it is widely believed in
the field of education that effective teaching involves not only imparting knowledge but also nurturing
critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity in students. Future teachers should strive to create
a dynamic and engaging learning environment that encourages students to think critically, analyze
information, and communicate their ideas effectively. By incorporating hands-on activities, group
projects, and real-world applications into their teaching, educators can cultivate a deeper understanding of
concepts and foster a sense of curiosity and exploration in students.

We all know that education is a lifelong process. As a future teacher, it is important to instill a
love for learning in students and encourage them to pursue knowledge and personal growth both inside
and outside of school. By promoting a growth mindset and a curiosity for learning, we educators can
empower students to become lifelong learners who continuously seek new opportunities for intellectual
and personal development. We should encourage and create lessons that are relevant, engaging, and
meaningful to students in order to spark their interest and encourage active participation in the learning
process. By incorporating multimedia, technology, and real-world examples into their lessons, educators
can make learning more interactive, enjoyable, and relevant to students' lives.

In conclusion, as a future teacher, it is important to embrace and embody the basic common
beliefs in teaching and learning in order to effectively educate and inspire students. By recognizing the
uniqueness of each student, promoting a love for lifelong learning, fostering critical thinking skills, and
creating engaging and meaningful learning experiences, educators can create a positive and enriching
learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential. By upholding these
fundamental beliefs, future teachers can make a lasting impact on the lives of their students and contribute
to the overall success and well-being of society as a whole.

LEARNING
FIELD STUDY 1 EPISODE

The School Environment

FS 1 1
SPARK Your Interest

This episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school
environment that promotes learning and development.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 At the end of this episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school
environment that is safe, secure, and is supportive of learning (PPST 2.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent practices that:
 Keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
 Maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
 Address the physical, social, and psychological needs of the students.

2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning


environment. They help in building and establishing the school culture. Those boards
become one way for everyone to learn about the vision-mission, goals, and values that the
school upholds.

3. As a basic part of the school’s visual environment, display boards have for general
purposes:

 Decorative- they offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social
and psychological atmosphere of the school.
 Motivational - they encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence.
An example would be the display of students’ outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners’ growth and
progress.
 Informational - they are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
 Instrumental - they move students to respond and participate through interactive
displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learning.

4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and
durability.

FS 1 2 Development Characteristics, Needs and Interest


Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 24

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to observe learners of different ages and


grade levels. It highlights the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future teacher, it
is important for me to determine my learners’ characteristics and needs so that I will be able to
plan and implement learning activities and assessment that are all developmentally appropriate.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 At the end of this Episode, I must be able to describe the characteristics, needs and
interests of learners from different developmental levels. (3.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode:


1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as, from the
head to the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards (proximodistal).
2. Development takes place gradually.
3. All domains of development and learning physical, social and emotional, and cognitive are
important, and they are closely interrelated, (NAEYC, 2009).
4. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or
representational capabilities, (NAEYC, 2009).

REFLECT

1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experiences when you were their
age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners you observed?
 While observing my learners I recall my experiences when I am with their age, I’m also
very active when it comes to discussion and I am very noisy just like them. I play when
there’s no teacher and I create noise even when the teacher is discussing. The difference
between me and them is that one word is enough for me to listen and I am very
competitive student.

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 teacher that I will never forget during that time is Ma’am Cruz she became my
inspiration during those days he become a teacher and a mother to us, she help me to
become a good student, she encourage me to strive hard and don’t let my emotion be the
hindrance to my success. She is very kind, lovable, very pretty and simple teacher during
those time.
3. Share your other insights here.
 Teaching is a noble profession where everyone can be challenge. It is all about sharing
and connecting with your students in order for them to grow and develop as a good
individual and as a good citizen of our nation.

Which is your favorite of development. How can this guide you as a future teacher? Clip some
readings about this theory and paste them here.
 My favorite development or theory is the classical conditioning of Ivan Pavlov in which it
involves associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned response. Over time, the neutral
stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that can evoke a conditioned response. By
incorporating classical conditioning into my teaching practice I can create positive and engaging
learning environment that supports students learning and behavior.

Indigenous Peoples

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 3 provides an opportunity to observe how differences and gender, racial, cultural
and religious backgrounds, including coming from indigenous groups influence learner behavior,
interaction, and performance in school. One will also analyze and reflect on practices that
teachers used in leveraging diversity in the classroom. It also provides an opportunity to observe
how differences in abilities affect interaction in school and learn about strategies that teachers
used in addressing the learners needs toward effective teaching and learning.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 describe the characteristics and needs of learners from diverse backgrounds:
 identify the needs of students with different levels of abilities in the classroom:
 identify best practices in differentiated teaching to suit the varying learner needs in a
diverse class (PPST 3.1.1): and
 demonstrate openness, understanding, and acceptance of the learners' diverse needs and
backgrounds

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are principles and concepts relevant to this episode:


1. Principles of Development
a. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as
uneven rates across different areas of the child's functioning. (NAEYC 2019)
b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to achieve
at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they have many
opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.
c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match the
learning content, activities and assessment to the different characteristics,
abilities, interests, and needs of the learners.

2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners:
a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences
b. Learners' linguistic cultural socioeconomic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents
d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation,
chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or
disasters, child abuse, and child labor.
Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors mentioned
affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They remember that the
learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers assure the students that their
gender identity, culture and religion are respected, their strengths are recognized, and their
needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that everyone has the chance to learn and
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 31

succeed. They create a learning community where everyone can work together and contribute
regardless of their abilities, capacities and circumstances.
Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:
 use strategies to build a caring community in the classroom
 model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions
 bring each of the student's home culture and language into the shared culture of
the school
 provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition

3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples


A young teacher's approach to indigenous peoples starts with a keen awareness of
one's own identity, including one's beliefs and cultural practices. Through serious
reflection one may realize that the self is a product of all the influences of key people in
one's life and the community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous groups
carry with them their beliefs, views and cultural practices. One's attitude needs to be that
of openness and respect. Come in not with the view that one's own culture is superior.
We approach with the sincere willingness and deep interest to know and understand the
indigenous peoples' culture. We aim to make teaching-learning facilitative rather than
imposing.
a. From your professional education subjects/courses, most likely you have discussed
indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country has about 110
ethno-linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao, some in Northern Luzon
and fewer in the Visayas. (UNDP Philippines, 2010). They represent about 10-20% of
our total population. There are two big indigenous peoples’ groups which have
several smaller ethnic groups within them, the non-muslim groups called the Lumads
in Mindanao, and the lgorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have the
Badjaos. Ati and Tumandok, Mangyans, and Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act, recognizes and
protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and indigenous peoples
(IP). Our country was admired by other nations for enacting this law. However, years
later, so much still has to be done to improve the lives of millions of people from
indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis, 2017)
c. Guided by RA8371, in 2015 Dead Issued DO 12. 2015, Adopting the Indigenous
Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework. Most useful for you as a
future teacher to remember in the 5 Key Elements of an Indigenous Peoples
Education Curriculum (DO 32, s.2015 enclosure. pp. 15-18)
1. Curriculum Design, Competences and Content. Interfacing the national curriculum
with Indigenous Knowledge are systems and practices (IKSPs) and Indigenous Learning
systems (ILS) the desire of a culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum has the
following features:
a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community's work
view, and its indigenous cultural institutions.
b. Includes and respects the community's expression of spirituality as part of the
curriculum context.
c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity,
d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengthens, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and indigence
languages.
e. Emphasizes competencies that are needed to support the development and
protection of the ancestral domain, the vitality of their culture, and the
advancement of indigenous peoples' rights and welfare.
f. Supports the community's efforts to discern new concepts that will contribute
to the community's cultural integrity while enabling meaningful relations with
the broader society.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 32

2. Teaching Methodologies and Strategies. A culturally appropriate and responsive


curriculum employs teaching methodologies and strategies that strengthen, enrich and
complement the community's indigenous teaching-learning process.

3. Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum


recognizes that the ancestral domain where IKSPs are experienced, lived and learned is
the primary learning environment and learning space of indigenous learners

4. Learning Resources. Instructional materials, and other learning resources shall be


developed and utilized in line with the described curriculum content and teaching
learning processes.

5. Classroom Assessment. Assessment shall be done utilizing tools appropriate to the


standards, competencies, skills, and concepts being covered. Their design and use shall
address the needs and concerns of the community and shall be developed with their
participation.

The learners' differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect the quality of
teaching and learning. This activity is about observing and gathering data to find out how student
diversity affects learning.
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps:
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (Beginning of the day, class time,
recess, etc.)
Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and social and
cultural diversity.
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that she uses in
dealing with diversity in the classroom.

OBSERVE

An Observation Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics

Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your observation
report on the space provided on the next page.

1. Find out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial groups
religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
During class:

1. How much interaction is there in the classroom! Describe how the students interact with
one another and with the teacher. Are there groups that interact more with the teacher
than others.
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they behave
and interact differently?
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with or compete
against each other?
4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most help?
5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher's question, do the classmates try
to help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher will call them instead?

Outside class:

1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogeneously, by age, by


gender? By racial or ethnic groups? By their interests? Or are the students in mixed social
groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected the
learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.

Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse students due
to the following factors

 Gender, including LGBT


 Language and cultural differences
 Differences in religion
 Socio-economic status

OBERVATION REPORT

The School Observed : Maria A. Montilla Memorial Elementary School

School Address: EJC MOntilla, Along the High way

Date of Visit: October 17, 2024

During class discussion the interaction in the classroom is very good they have different
perspectives, others are playing while others are busy communicating with each other. They have
respect when they are talking or interacting with their teachers or to their elders. Most of the
learners seating in front are much more focus and quiet than the learners at the seating at the back.
They behave differently since the learners who seated at the back can be confident that they will
not be notice by the teacher.

Everyone is participating in every discussion, they do not compete rather they helping each
other and they are very happy when they got a highest score or when they know that their score is
the same with others it could higher or lower.

Most of the students participate actively in every discussion some of the student in the
classroom needs to have a guidance and help from the teacher. They help one another and they are
willing to answer and help their classmates who didn’t know the answer to the question of their
teacher. When they are in the outside of their classroom they group themselves according to their
friends and by their interests. They care about their differences as long as they can cope up with
their games or they know how to mingle with others.

I’ve notice that some of the students are alone because they are not good in communicating,
ashamed to socialize with others, they often bow their head when they encounter or meet other
students in the hallway, or they are introvert person they want peace and quiet environment where
they can focus and be happy on their own.

Teachers are often faced with students who come from difficult circumstances that affect their ability to
learn and succeed in the classroom. The most common experiences teachers have with learners in difficult
circumstances is their behavior and the lack of access to basic needs. In order to help these learners cope,
teachers must first create a safe and supportive environment where students feel valued and respected. It is
important to build relationships with these students and show them that they are cared for. Teachers can
implement strategies such as differentiated instruction and flexible seating arrangements to accommodate
students who may be struggling academically or emotionally.

ANALYZE

1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and interactions in the classroom.
What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the leader, a mascot/joker, as
attention seeker, a little teacher, a double pessimist?
 Ceferino, Kenneth, Romar, Aldrin, King and Julie they are the students who leads the
classroom to be more active. Kenneth play as the joker/mascot in the classroom he is very
energetic and very funny. Julie appears as their president/ Teacher at the same time she
leads the whole class. Aldrin appear as the low-key person to their classroom active but
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 35

serious when it comes to his studies or to the discussion. Jomar, Ceferino and King sometimes
appear as an attention seeker and at the same time a joker to their group.
2. What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their behavior!
 Others assume these roles as a serious yet a joke for them. Sometimes they make fun with it
without knowing that it is not really funny or it can cause distraction and misbehavior that will
bring to commotion or for their teacher to become mad at them.

3. Is there anyone you observed who appear left out? Are students who appear “different?” Why do
they appear different? Are they accepted or rejected by the others? How is this shown?
 They appear different because some of them cannot easily catch up or understand the lesson
while others are gifted enough to easily understand but despite of their differences there’s no
student being left out and they are not rejected.

4. What does the teacher do to address issues like this?


 The teacher will give many examples in order for them to understand, she let her students to
answer in the board in order to practice and while answering she assisted it.

5. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual differences of the
students?
 The teacher influence the class interaction by using different kind of strategies it could be group
activities, she doesn’t discourage her students when they got a wrong answer, she gave praises
and rewards whenever they answer is correct. She also encourage fair learning environment.

6. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity in the classroom? How
does the teacher leverage diversity!
 Diversity in the classroom is a valuable resource that can bring a range of benefits for both
students and teachers. The Teacher must know the different needs of her students in order for her
to meet those needs. Teacher can use to maximize the diversity in the classroom by
implementing and creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where all students feel valued
and respected. Promote cultural awareness, celebrating diversity, and incorporating diverse
perspectives into the curriculum. Teachers can also ensure that all students have the opportunity
to share their experiences and perspectives with their classmates in order to foster a sense of
mutual understanding and respect.

REFLECT

1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity
among the learners and between the teacher and the learner?
 While observing in their classroom I feel comfortable and I am beyond happy because
despite of being noisy when I say quiet they listen and when it comes to discussion I
could feel their oneness or the unity among the students and the Teacher, they became
one, they participate actively and they help one another. When the teacher ask a question
without hesitation they answer it actively and confidently.

OBSERVATION REPORT

Name of the School Observed: Maria A. Montilla Memorial Elementary School

School Address: EJC Montilla, Tacurong City, Along the Highway

Date of Visited: October 18, 2024

Observing the behavior of both regular students and those with special needs can provide valuable
insights into the diverse ways in which individuals learn and interact in an educational setting. The needs
of the students depend on their behavior. Others may need guidance and support in order to grow. As I
observe, I can sense the big difference of every individual, the differences of their perspective, and most
especially their behavior. Others are very active when it comes to playing or during their discussions, and
some of them have different worlds where they enjoy laughing and playing with their cellphones and
sleeping; others are shy and like to be alone.

All of them are regular and normal students, so they can interact with each other and finish or
accomplish the task easily. They often display a higher level of motivation and engagement in classroom
activities. If I will compare them to the students who have special needs, they are really different when it
comes to thinking and behavior.
During their discussion, their teacher uses a variety of instructions, routines, and classroom rules in
order for her students to be productive. The teacher is very aware of the background and needs of her
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 37

learners in order to provide them with the best possible education and support. By making common
observations about our students, such as their socioeconomic status, cultural background, learning styles,
and social and emotional needs, we can better understand how to help them succeed. Through our
awareness and responsiveness to the needs of our students, we can create a more inclusive and supportive
learning environment for all.

ANALYZE

1. Did your observation match the information given by the teacher?


 Yes my observation match the information given by the teacher.

2. Describe the differences inability level of the students in the class? What practices or
strategies are done or should be done to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the
learners?
 The Teacher must know her students in order for her to understand them. She must be
sensitive, reasonable and knowledgeable enough about what appropriate strategies will
she used in order to meet the different needs of her learners.

3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in abilities.
How did the students respond to the teacher? Did the teacher use differentiate instruction? If
yes, describe how?
 The e of the teacher in handling student differences is very effective. Despite of being
diverse they are very active while participating in every discussion. Yes she uses different
instruction in which she knows that her students will be engaged and be motivated to
listen in her discussion. She treated her students fairly, she is very dedicated and the best
Teacher that the students will follow and be inspired.

REFLECT

1. Recall the time when you were in elementary or high school. Recall the high and low
achievers in your class. How did your teacher deal with differences in abilities? Was your
teacher effective?
 During my elementary and high school days my teacher used different variety of methods
in order for us to learn even though we have our differences. I can sense their passion and
dedication while teaching us during those days, they let tutor our classmates who don’t
know how to read and understand simple sentences or words, they gave us many
examples about our topics in order for us to understand and they never insult or degrade
us even though our level of intelligence is different from others.
2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to meet the needs of the
learners?
 In order to meet the needs of my learners I must have to know what are their needs and
their capabilities in order for me to understand and be connected with them. I must foster
equality, respect and dedication for them to become comfortable and learn without
pressure and hesitations.

Reflection

As I watch the video I able to learn the different cultures, beliefs and tradition of the Tboli tribe.
Tboli are the most well-known tribe in the Philippines and can be found in the mountains of
Southern Mindanao. Most of their population are found near lake Sebu of South Cotabato which
also is the site of the school of the living traditions (STL). The upper part of STL is where teaching
and learning occurs.

They preserve their traditional way of living that they adapt from their ancestors and past it
through the next generation. They focus more on the reality of living. They promote equality and
their differences is not a hindrance for them to quit school or to continue on improving. SLT offers
many programs and services for the students like, weaving, arts and craft, theatre and performing
arts. Mostly students are taught to play different kind of instruments, taught to do weaving and
dancing.

The people who manage the school are those experienced Tboli people. The interaction between
the teachers and students are bound by respect and disciplined. The students are very active,
obedient and they pay attention attentively to their teacher. The learning resources that they use are
uniquely their own or it was made by them bound to their culture and knowledge that they acquire to
their ancestors.

3. For indigenous learners, as a future teacher, I promise these three things:


3.1 Be open to and respect indigenous people by being mindful and respectful to my choice
of words and action inside and outside the classroom.

Uphold and celebrate their culture, beliefs, and practices by expressing and sharing their
own beliefs and experiences. Respecting and valuing their differences in order to create

Advocate for indigenous people’s education by accepting them equally, providing


inclusive and open learning environment and encourage group activities where everyone
is free from discrimination.

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts


Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 44

With the principle of individual differences in mind, what methods and strategies will
you member in the future to ensure that you will be able to meet the needs of both the high
and low achievers in your class? Make a collection of strategies on how to address the
students' difference ability levels.

Teaching Strategies

As a future teacher, I will remember to:

 Invest time in getting to know each of my students so that I will be able to know their
strengths, weaknesses, interests, and objectives in life for me to build rapport and respond
to their needs since they are all different from each other.
 Reduce pressure impose to them but rather make motivating and enjoying activities for
them to have fun while learning.
 Allow the use of Filipino and English language for recitations or question and to answer
inquiry so that all my students will be given an opportunity to share their ideas, learnings,
and opinions with less pressure.
 Vary the subject related activities and tasks into individual, group, and pair work so that
students have an opportunity to interact, communicate, forms relationship and learn from
their classmates for them to be able to relate with one another.
 Pay close attention to the low achievers in class and conduct a counseling to discover
their problems, difficulty and even hindrances to their focus in learning so as a teacher
one will be able to address it accordingly.
 Use different teaching methods and style such as direct instruction, flipped classroom,
kinesthetic learning, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, exploratory
learning, game-based learning, and students-center learning to match the multiple
intelligence of the students: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, intrapersonal,
interpersonal, and naturalistic.
 Use different learning resources such as:
 Written materials like textbooks, magazines, newspapers, journals, thesis, etc.
 Digital materials like pictures, videos, documentaries, gifts etc.
 Internet resources search engines like Google, Encarta, online websites,
articles, e-books etc.
 Actual experience such as visiting museums, other schools, science centrums,
gallery, work immersion, etc.
 Provide an inclusive learning environment for all the students to feel that they are belong
and cared despite of their individual differences.
 Make sure that there is no discrimination and to treat everyone with fairness and equality.

Environment

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 4 provides opportunities for you to have more in-depth look into the factors that affect
the development of a learner. Focus will be on the early experiences and characteristics of the leaner
as described by the family and other significant others. You will also focus how the teacher links
with the community to maximize the learning and development of students.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 Describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the students learning.
 seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parent’s guardians and the
wider community (6.2.1); and
 Identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the family.

REVISIT the learning Essentials


1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of layers of
relationship systems that make up the learner's environment. The layers are:
Microsystem Mesosystem Exosystem Macrosystem Chronosystem
includes the the connection the bigger Outmost layer the element of
structure such between the social system which includes time patterns of
one's family structures in the which includes cultural values stability and
school and microsystem the city customs and pacing of the
neighborhood government, the laws child's everyday
workplace, and life
the mass media

The model helps the teacher investigate every aspect in the learner's environment to understand
his behavior. The teacher's important role is not to replace what is missing at home (if any), but to
work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and nurtures families. The teacher
works to create work to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring out the best
in every learner.

2. Baumrind's Parenting Styles

Authoritarian. Parents are very firm with their child and expect unwavering and unquestioning
obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection,
physical punishment or threats.
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be warm and
caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged with children. Neither demanding nor responsive to
children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or guidance.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 50

Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have clear and reasonable
expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with respect and warmth. Make children
understand consequence of their behavior.

Children of:
Authoritarian Parents; are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile and aggressive.
They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are often impulsive,
aggressive luck self-control that they have low levels of independence and responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents; are found to be the least competent in their overall functioning and
adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater ability to show self-
control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.

REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you experience? How
did it affect you?
 I’ve experience being hurt by my parents because I’m bad and sometimes I didn’t listen to
them but despite of being hurt by them, I’ve realized that it is their way for us to be
disciplined and for us to follow and respect them, it could bad for others but for me I am very
thankful to their strictness because today I am safe and I’m not one of those individual who
get pregnant because they didn’t listen and follow their parents.

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, establishing good collaboration between home and school is essential for
the success of every students and it is also very crucial since not all parents are
understanding. As a future teacher, I would work towards building positive relationships with
parents through effective communication. I would strive to maintain open lines of
communication with parents through regular updates on their child's progress, behavior, and
any concerns that may arise. This can be done through emails, phone calls or even parent-
teacher conferences. By keeping parents informed and involved, they can feel more
connected to their child's education and be more supportive of their learning.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 plan on how to manage time, space, and resources; and
 provide a learning environment appropriate to the learners and conducive to learning.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


The classroom climate that is conducive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet business-
like. It is a classroom where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the following are observed:
 Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear
 Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
 Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures
 Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
 Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for such
are communicated
 Classroom processes are democratic

ANALYZE
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners' behavior?
 Classroom organization and routines play a crucial role in shaping learners' behavior.
When a classroom is well-organized and has consistent routines in place, students are
more likely to stay focused, engaged, and on task. Classroom organization and routines
can affect the behavior of every learners by improving their growth. It affects the
behavior of every learners for them to become productive and be responsible to their
actions. It also helps them to promote collaboration and communication to interact
positively with their peers.

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?
 When designing the classroom organization and routines, there are several important
factors that teachers should keep in mind in order to create a productive and effective
learning environment for their students. The teacher must know the background of her
students what appropriate routines and classroom organization would she implement in
order to achieve her goal, and to become beneficial for her students. She must establish
clear expectations for behavior and academic performance from the beginning. This
includes setting rules for classroom conduct, as well as establishing procedures for
completing assignments, asking questions, and seeking help when needed. Teacher
should consider the physical layout of the classroom, establish clear expectations for
behavior and academic performance, and incorporate principles of effective classroom
management. By creating a supportive and engaging learning environment that promotes
collaboration and inquiry, teachers can help to enhance student learning and achievement
in the classroom.

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? In
motivating students? Why were they effective?
 The behavior strategies that was effective in managing the behavior of the learners is
when the Teacher is authoritative in order for them to be disciplined. It will help them to
be more active and to participate in every discussion because they listen and follow their
teacher. It is very effective because it can foster self-improvement and be obedient.

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?
 I see myself teaching grade 5, similar to others, if it is applicable and beneficial for my
classroom setting, so I must apply it. I will apply the routine of my resource teacher
because I know that it is very effective, productive, and engaging, from starting the class

Identifying Personal and Physical Aspects of Classroom


Activity 7.1 Management

Resource Teacher: Rachelle D. Cruzada Teachers Signature: ___________


School: Maria A. Montilla Memorial Elementary School Grade/Year Level: Grade 6
Date: __October 28, 2024____________

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 time in class? /


1.5 Does the teacher exude a positive attitude towards in 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? /
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 78

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?


 The Teacher has a pleasant and moderate voice that can be easily heard and
understood by everyone. The way she delivered her message is loud and cleared. The
voice of the teacher will help the students to be attentive, to hear and understand what
she’s discussing and for them to become more active and engaging.

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


 Punctuality is a crucial aspect of a teacher’s professionalism and has a significant
impact on classroom discipline. When a Teacher is consistently late, it sets a negative
example for students and undermines their authority. Students may become unruly or
disruptive when they perceive that the teacher is not fully committed to their
education. The punctuality of the Teacher affect classroom discipline in a way that the
students can easily adapt to it and they will be motivated to attend class early just like
their teacher. Additionally, arriving late can disrupt the flow of the lesson and waste
valuable instructional time so it is very essential for teachers to be punctual in order to
maintain a positive learning environment and establish a culture of respect and
accountability within the classroom.

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


 It is needed to check the physical aspects of classroom management in order to be
organize, prevent behavioral issues and to help promote and improve the learnings of
every student. It is also needed to create a welcoming, safe and supportive learning
environment for the students to become comfortable and more focus.

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”.
 The phrase “No amount of good instruction will come out without effective classroom
management” emphasizes the importance of creating a positive and structured learning
environment for students. When teachers prioritize classroom management and establish clear
expectations for behavior, they set the stage for effective instruction and meaningful learning
experiences for their students. By focusing on both classroom management and instruction,
teachers can create a learning environment where students are able to thrive and reach their
full potential academically.

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


Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 79

 In my opinion, the routines of a teacher play a crucial role in ensuring discipline and order in
the class. As a future Teacher My plans in ensuring effective classroom management is that I
want to set clear expectations where every students are aware and be responsible with their
actions and behavior., consistently enforce consequences, and establish routines for daily
activities so that students can focus on their education. I also need to continuously evaluate
and adjust their routines in order to meet their individual needs and to ensure a productive and
orderly classroom environment.

FIELD STUDY 1 EPISODE
Understanding the School Curriculum

FS 1 8 Close Encounter with the School Curriculum

SPARK Your Interest

Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to design total learning
activities appropriate for each team in each grade level. Thus, schools have recommended
curriculum which is the enhanced K to 12 curricula. The recommended curriculum was translated
into written curriculum like books, modules, teachers' guides, and lesson plans which are the basis of
the taught curriculum. A teacher who implements the curricula needs support materials (support
curriculum) to enhance teaching and learning so that the written and the taught curricula can be
assessed (assessed curriculum) to determine if learning took placed (learned curriculum). However,
there are so many activities that happen in schools but are not deliberately planned. This refers to the
hidden curriculum.

A classroom teacher plans, implements, and evaluates school learning activities by preparing a
miniscule curriculum called a lesson plan or a learning plan. The teacher then puts life to lesson plan
by using it as a guide in the teaching-learning process where different strategies can be used to
achieve the learning objectives or outcomes. There are many styles of writing a less plan, but the
necessary parts or elements such as (a) Learning Outcomes (b) Subject Matter (c) Teaching --
Learning Strategies, and (d) Evaluation or Assessment should always be included.
All of these elements should be aligned so that at the end of the teaching-learning episode,
learning will be achieved with the classroom teacher is a guide.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to.


 identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 84

 describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning, implementing lessons
through different strategies and assessment of learning outcomes; and
 analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching strategies and
assessment

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

School Curriculum: What is this about?


From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school in this course limits such definition of total
learning outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called school. Schools are formal
institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are the learners and the teacher.
Basic education in the Philippines the Department of Education or DepEd and the
recommended curriculum is the K-12 Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic
education schools offering kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10,
Junior High School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.
What are the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It is a
curriculum that:

1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue,
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of contextualized lessons and addition
of issues like disaster preparedness, climate change and information and communication
technology (ICT) are included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and
values, attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject,
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main language in studying and
learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will become ready for higher level skills,
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a spiral progression
where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they study the complex ones in the
next grade level. The progression of topics matches with the developmental and cognitive
skills. This process strengthens the mastery and retention,
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education in Grade 12 will
be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of careers will be defined when they go
to Grade 11 and 12,
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduates the learner will be ready to
embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall that a school curriculum is of
many types for the kindergarten to Grade 12 in the country.

• The enhanced curriculum K to 12 curriculum is the Recommended Curriculum. It is to


be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.
• When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency standards of the
K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects the substance of RA
10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the teacher's class it is the lesson
plan. A lesson plan is a written curriculum in miniscule.
• What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life to the
written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The guidance of the
teacher is very crucial.
• A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects, gadgets,
laboratory, and many more that will help the teacher implement the curriculum. This is
referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
• To find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the lesson plan, an assessment
shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the lesson. The curriculum is now
called the Assessed Curriculum.
• The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned Curriculum.
Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates accomplishment of learning outcomes.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 85

• However, there are unplanned curriculums in schools. These are not written, nor
deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include peer influence, the media,
school environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and many more. This
curriculum is called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.

So, what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school
curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic education?
Teachers then should be multi-talented professionals who

• know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above.

• write the curriculum to be taught.

•plan the curriculum to be implemented.

•initiate the curriculum which is being introduced.

•innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated.

• implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and

• evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

ANALYZE

1. Which of the seven types of curriculums in the school setting is easy to find? Why?
 Among the seven types of curriculum in the school setting the easy to find is the
recommended curriculum since it is already recommended by scholars and other well-
known organizations and institutions, and the written curriculum where we can see and
touch because it is documents based on course of the study, module, books, instructional
guides and lesson plan.

2. Which is difficult to observe? Why?


 Among the seven types of curriculum in the school setting the difficult to observe is the
hidden curriculum since these are not written nor deliberately taught, it is an unplanned
curriculum that we cannot predict or we cannot foreseen.

3. Are these all found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to one another?
 Yes all of these are found in the school setting because they both benefit and
interconnected from each other. Without the presence of other curriculums we cannot
create a comprehensive and effective educational framework.

Draw a diagram to show the relationship of one curriculum to the other.


Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 87

REFLECT
Make a reflection on the diagram that you have drawn.
 The diagram shows the 7 different types of curriculum in which they have different usage
but all interconnected and interdependent with each other. Understanding the relationship
between these different types of curriculum is very essential for us to create a
comprehensive and effective educational framework.

1. How does the teacher whom you observed compare to the ideal characteristics or
competencies of global quality teachers?
 Observing a teacher in the classroom, it is essential to analyze and reflect on how their
teaching practices align with the ideal characteristics and competencies of global quality
teachers. In my observation I have identified several key qualities that set them apart and
showcase their effectiveness in the classroom. One of the most striking characteristics of
the Teacher that I have observed is their ability to create a positive and inclusive learning
environment for their students.

ANALYZE
Answer the following questions based on the diagram.

1.) Are the three components constructively aligned? Explain.


 Yes by presenting the learning outcomes followed by teaching methods in which you’ll
be discussing, explaining and elaborating the topic, creating group activities tailored to
the lesson and doing some assessment or evaluation to test or to check if the students
really understand and learn your lesson or to assess if the learning objectives was
achieved.

2.) Will the outcomes be achieved with the teaching methods used? Why?
 Yes the outcome has been achieved because the Teacher really give her best to do the
step by step discussion, by presenting pictures for visualization, by giving many
examples and scenarios, by asking questions connected to the lesson and elaborating the
topic in order for the students to understand and for the outcomes to be achieved.

3.) What component would tell if the outcomes have been achieved?
 The evaluation or assessment component would tell if the outcome have been achieved
because it will check or assess the students learning and understanding of the lesson if
they really understand the lesson or the outcome have been achieved because the students
get a passing score or above average.
REFLECT

What lessons have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?

 We all know that it is very crucial when we develop or write a lesson plan. We need to
align everything from planning to implementing and for evaluating. I have learned is the
importance of understanding the principles of instructional design. This involves
considering the learning objectives, determining the appropriate instructional strategies,
and selecting relevant assessment methods. By clearly outlining what I want my students
to learn and how I will assess their understanding, I am able to create a cohesive and
comprehensive lesson plan. I have also learned the significance of incorporating
technology into my lesson plans to enhance student learning and engagement. I have
learned the importance of incorporating real-world experiences and authentic assessments
into my lesson plans. By connecting classroom learning to the outside world, I can make
my lessons more relevant and meaningful for my students.

What value will it give to the teacher if the three components are aligned?
 Creating a well-organized and effective lesson plan is essential for teachers to provide
quality education to their students. When the three components of a lesson plan –
objectives, Teaching methods and assessment techniques are aligned it can help the
teacher achieve their teaching goals more efficiently and effectively. It enhance their
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 91

teaching practice and better support student learning in the classroom. Additionally it can
help them to easily evaluate student learning accurately and provide meaningful feedback
to guide their progress.

Thorndike’s Stimulus-Response Theory


Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 96

Who is Edward Thorndike? He is the father of modern educational psychology and


known for his trial-and-error theory of learning. His research focused on the connection
between stimulus and response, which is commonly known as the S-R theory of
psychology. This theory is based on the idea that learning is a gradual process that
occurs through trial and error. This iterative process allows for the refinement of skills
and knowledge over time. Learning through trial and error involves experimenting with
different actions to discover what works and what doesn’t. As individuals encounter
successes and failures, they gradually adjust their behavior based on the outcomes.

THREE MAJOR LAW OD THORNDIKE’S STIMULUS-RESPONSE THEORY

The law of readiness, also known as the “law of action tendency," It is the
primary law of learning. This law suggests that learning takes place when an action
tendency is aroused through preparatory adjustment, set, or attitude. For example, if a
person is not prepared to learn a guitar or to learn their lessons, it will be useless, the
person will not make any progress, and eventually the person will not learn to play the
guitar. For Thorndike, if one is not prepared to learn, then learning cannot be
automatically instilled in him. According to the law of exercise, learning occurs through
repetition and practice. Thorndike’s law of exercise is also referred to as the “Law of
Use and Disuse.” For example, in typing, if one is not able to type faster, then one
needs exercise and repetition—one needs to practice typing on a regular basis. Lastly,
the law of effect is based on the idea that learning is a gradual process that occurs
through trial and error. Responses that are followed by positive consequences are more
likely to be repeated, while responses that are followed by negative consequences are
less likely to be repeated, for example, awarding good grades, stars, and social
acceptance to students for acceptable schoolwork. When students receive praise at
home from their parents, acceptance from their peers, and rewards for stars earned,
they get positive reinforcement.

1. Application
 The learners will be group into three (3). Each group must create a real-life
scenario where they can apply the 3 major law of Thorndike’s Stimulus-
Response Theory. They will be given 5 minutes to present.
 Provide constructive feedback to learners based on their performance.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning


1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes,
2. Learning is an active process, "What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand."
3. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the
opportunity to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with real world
experiences and with their own lives.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.
A teaching method consist of systematic and orderly steps in teaching-learning process. It is the
practical realization or application of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified
either as deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

changing of their ideas for collaboration and


cooperation.

ANALYZE

1. What principles of learning were most applied?

Most Applied
 Effective learning begins with the setting of clear and high expectations of learning
outcomes and it is the principle that is widely recognized and most applied in educational
settings. Setting clear and high expectations of learning outcomes provides students with
a roadmap for success. When students know what is expected of them, they are more
likely to stay focused and motivated to achieve those goals. This not only helps students
to stay on track with their studies but also provides them with a sense of direction and
purpose in their academic pursuits.

Least Applied
 Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process. Learning is enhanced in an
atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration is least applied because in some cases,
competition and individualism may be prioritized over collaboration, leading to a more
competitive and isolated learning environment. Moreover, in some educational settings,
there may be limited opportunities for collaboration due to factors such as large class
sizes, tight schedules, and lack of resources. In these cases, students may be left to
navigate the learning process on their own, missing out on the benefits of working
together with their peers.

Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?


 During discussion and group activities students can collaborate, participate and engage
their self to their peers. Before the Teaching and learning process occurs where the
teacher set the classroom rules and Learning objectives for the students to become aware
of what will be achieved after the discussion and they will able to explore and think
critically if what is the answer to the question of their Teacher.

REFLECT

From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?
 One of the most important principles of learning that I believe is that the learning is an
active process. This means that learning is not a passive activity where students simply
receive information from a teacher and memorize it. As a future educator, I firmly believe
that learning is an active process is one of the most important principles of learning. By
encouraging students to engage actively in their own learning, educators can help
students develop the critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and creativity that
they need to succeed in today’s world. Active learning not only leads to better academic
outcomes but also prepares students to be lifelong learners who are able to adapt and
thrive in an ever-changing world.

ANALYZE

1. Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused?


Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio104

 SMART objectives are a popular tool used in education to help guide lesson planning and
ensure that teaching goals are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
By employing SMART objectives in lesson planning it can make the lesson more
focused, organized, and effective. It helps the teacher to clearly define their learning
objectives and it can provide students with a clear roadmap of what they need to
accomplish during the lesson. Additionally by setting specific, measurable, achievable,
relevant, and time-bound objectives, teachers can provide students with clear learning
goals, keep their lessons relevant to the curriculum, assess student progress, and create a
sense of urgency and accountability within the lesson.

REFLECT

Reflect on the

Lesson learned in determining SMART learning outcomes

 Determining SMART learning outcomes is essential for effective teaching and learning.
By setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals, we future
educators can guide our students towards success and ensure that their efforts are focused
on meaningful learning experiences. It will also helps them to understand exactly what is
expected of them and they can focus to their efforts on meeting those expectations. As a
future educator, I will continue to apply the principles of SMART goal setting in my
practice for me to continue support my students in reaching their full potential and
achieving their academic success.

g) Integrative- Lesson was multidisciplinary- e.g. In Science, Math concepts were taught
 Students analyze data and graphs using math concepts such as averages and
percentage.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio106

ANALYZE

1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the
test?
 If we focus solely on subject matter for mastery the consequences is that it may neglect
the development of important life skills such as communication, collaboration, and
critical thinking. Our student’s will not have the ability to work effectively in a team, to
communicate their ideas clearly, or think critically about complex issues. As a result,
students may graduate lacking the soft skills necessary to succeed in the workforce and
navigate the challenges of adulthood.

2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or
student-centered? Why?
 When reteaching the classes I observed, I would prefer to integrate both teacher-centered
and student-centered approaches for a balanced and engaging learning experience.
Reteaching the classes I observed using a combination of teacher-centered and student-
centered methods would cater to the diverse needs of students and promote a more
engaging and effective learning experience. As a college level student, I believe that this
blended approach would help to create a dynamic and interactive classroom environment
where students are actively participate in the discussion of their Teacher and fosters
academic growth and development. Furthermore, I aim to create a classroom that
balances structure and autonomy, guidance and exploration, and knowledge transmission
and application and this dual approach can ultimately enhance the academic performance,
critical thinking skills, and overall educational experience of every students.

REFLECT

Reflect on
Principles of teaching worth applying

 Principles of teaching are essential guidelines that educators follow in order to effectively
instruct and engage students in the learning process. I believe that they are still worth
applying and can have a significant impact on student learning outcomes. It can help
students to become motivated, feel valued, respected and more engaged in the learning
process. By incorporating these principles into teaching practice, we future educators can
help students reach their full potential and become successful lifelong learners.

EPISODE

FS 1 10
SPARK Your Interest
This Episode centers on the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
methods. It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and
teacher education curriculum are focused on outcomes, standards, and competencies. This means
that lessons must be delivered with focus on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode dwells on types of
questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of questions
that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and reacting to student responses have a
bearing on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories learned in the course,
Teaching Methods, and Strategies and in other professional subjects in Education.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to.
►identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
strategies
►determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with outcome-based
teaching and learning
►identify the Resource Teacher's questioning and reacting techniques
►outline a lesson in accordance with outcome-based teaching-learning

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods.
1. Learning is an active process
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students' everyday life.
7.An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of
information.

Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards and Competency-Based teaching with its K to
12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has
been ahead of DepEd and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of
Competency.

Standards-Based Teaching and Assessment. CHED requires all higher education


institutions in the country to go Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the CHED Memo 46, s.
2012. Outcome-Based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE applied in the teaching-learning
process. It is equivalent to competency-Based and Standards-Based teaching and learning in
the K to 12 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL, you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in
turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In other
words, is OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives). Then
you determine which teaching learning activities (TLAs) and also assessment tasks (ATs)
you would have to use to find out if you attained your ILO’s.
In lesson planning, the ILOs are our lesson objectives, the TLAs’ are the activities we use
to teach and the ATs are the evaluation part.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery learning
of Benjamin Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE and OBTL.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 111

Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have the mastery of the art of
questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instruction.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.

Types of questions that Teachers Ask


1. Factual/Convergent/Closed/Low Who, What, Where, When questions with
level one acceptable answer

2. Divergent/Open-ended/High Open-ended; has more than one acceptable


level/Higher order/Conceptual answer
Have you learned something from our

c. Comparison silence

d. Application Create a video of proper handwashing.

e. Problem-solving What can you do to be healthier?

3. Affective e.g., How do you feel?

These are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:

1. Providing acceptance feedback


2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/ expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as “okay”, “right”

ANALYZE

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


 When it comes to the best method of teaching, there is no one fits all answer. We
have different students and they have different learning styles, and what works
well for one student may not work for another.

REFLECT

Reflect on this question.

How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lesson?

 As future educators, one of the most important tasks we will face is selecting the
appropriate strategy for our lessons. There are several factors to consider when
choosing a teaching strategy, including the content being taught, the learning
styles of our students, and the goals we have for the lesson. For example, a lesson
on history may benefit from a more traditional lecture-style approach, while a
lesson on science may be better suited to hands-on experiments or group projects.
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio 113

We also select the appropriate strategy for our lesson by knowing and
understanding the individual needs of our learners, by exploring and analyzing
their different behavior, perspective and knowledge. We must take into account
the learning styles of our students since every student is unique, and they may
learn best through different methods. By being thoughtful and intentional in our
approach to teaching, we can create a positive and engaging learning environment
for our students and help them to reach their full potential.

Activity 10.2 Determining Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning

Resource Teacher: Rachelle D. Cruzada Teacher's Signature: _________


School:Maria A. Montilla Memorial Elementary School Grade/Year Level: Grade VI
Date: __ November 09, 2024_____

OBSERVE
Observe a class and answer the following questions.
1. Did the teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning outcomes (ILOs)
beginning of the class? Did he/she share them with the class? How?
 It is crucial for the teacher to clearly state the learning objectives or intended
learning outcomes (ILOs) at the beginning of each class. In the case of my
Resource Teacher before the class started she always present the learning
objectives in order for her students to have a roadmap for them to understand
what they are expected to learn and achieve by the end of the session. It also
provide students with a sense of direction and purpose. By clearly outlining
what is expected of them, students are able to focus their attention on the key
concepts and skills that they need to master. This enables students to prioritize
their learning efforts and stay on track throughout the course.

2. What teaching-learning activities (TLEs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs help
him/her attain his/her lesson objectives/ILOs? Explain your answer.
 My Resource Teacher uses different kind of activities tailored to the lesson
that she will implemented. As a future educator we are constantly exposed to
various teaching-learning activities (TLAs) that our professors implement in
order to help us attain our lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes
(ILOs). One of the most common TLAs that teachers implement is the
traditional lecture format. During lectures, Teacher deliver content to students
through verbal communication, visual aids, and sometimes multimedia
presentations. She also promote group discussions and hands-on activities in
order for the students to be engage and motivated to participate through these
teachers are able to cater to different learning styles and provide students with
a well-rounded educational experience.

3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/are these align to the lesson
objectives/ILOs?
 Throughout my college experience, I have encountered a variety of
assessment tasks employed by my professors to evaluate our understanding
and mastery of the lesson objectives and intended learning outcomes (ILOs).
The assessment tasks employed by teachers play a crucial role in evaluating
our progress and ensuring that we are meeting the intended learning outcomes
of the course. One common assessment task that teachers often use is quizzes
or tests and it is aligned to her lesson objectives. These assessments typically
consist of multiple-choice, short answer, or essay questions that require
students to demonstrate their knowledge of the material covered in class and
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio114

for her to assess, if her students really understand and learn some lessons
about her discussion.

ANALYZE

What are your thoughts about Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL)?
 OBTL or Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning focuses results. It is student-
centered in which it helps to improved and enhance the learning of every students.
The objectives should be measurable. Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning
(OBTL) is a teaching approach that focuses on defining clear, measurable
learning outcomes and aligning teaching methods and assessments to these
outcomes. It is very valuable approach that can enhance the learning experience
of every students. By clearly defining learning outcomes, promoting active
student engagement, and developing practical skills, OBTL can help students
achieve their academic goals and prepare them for their future growth and
success.

REFLECT

Reflect on the use of OBTL.


 As a future educator, the use of Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL)
is an essential aspect of my teaching philosophy. OBTL focuses on setting clear
learning outcomes and aligning teaching strategies and assessment methods to
ensure that students achieve these outcomes. Reflecting on my future role as an
educator, I believe that OBTL provides a structured and effective framework for
promoting student success and facilitating meaningful learning experiences in the
classroom. I aspire to incorporate OBTL principles into my teaching practices to
create a dynamic and student-centered learning environment. By setting clear and
challenging learning outcomes, using a variety of teaching strategies and
assessment methods, and providing constructive feedback to support student
learning. Lastly, I aim to empower my students to become independent and
lifelong learners.

ANALYZE

1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as question marks and leave school as
periods! “Does this have something to do with the type of questions that teachers ask
and the questioning and reacting techniques that they employ?
 Neil Postman’s quote, “Children go to school as question marks and leave school
as periods,” raises an important question about the education system and the
impact it has on students’ attitudes towards learning. As a college-level student, I
believe that this quote highlights the shift that occurs in students’ attitudes
towards questioning and curiosity as they progress through their education. When
students first enter school, they are full of curiosity and wonder. They are
constantly asking questions, eager to learn and explore the world around them.
However, as they progress through their education, something changes and this
have something to do with the type of question that the Teacher employ. They are
no longer encouraged to ask questions and seek answers, they are more on spoon
feeding, If teachers only ask closed-ended questions that have one correct answer,
students are not encouraged to think critically or creatively. They are simply
expected to provide the “right” answer and move on.

REFLECT

Reflect on
The importance of using various reacting techniques

 As a future educator, it is important to understand the significance of using


various reacting techniques in the classroom. Reacting techniques are essential
tools that help engage students, promote critical thinking skills, and create a
dynamic learning environment. By incorporating a variety of reacting techniques
Antonette U. Buenafe FS 401 Portfolio116

into our lesson plans, we educators can enhance the overall learning experience of
our students and encourage active participation in the classroom. It also create an
interactive and engaging learning environment where everyone can participate
actively and each of them are being valued.
