Unit 1 - Group 1 Multiage

The document discusses multigrade classrooms, which involve students of different ages and skill levels learning together with one teacher. This type of classroom is common in rural areas with limited resources. Effective multigrade teaching involves well-organized instruction, cooperative learning, and curriculum designed for students' varying abilities. Research shows multigrade classrooms can be as effective as single-grade classrooms when implemented properly.

Basic Theories
and Principles in
Teaching Multi-
Age Pupils
Reported by:
Sison, Amapola T.
Emnace, Rubelyn P.
1. Children are unique.

 students will each have


their own life
experiences and
feelings about
themselves; they will
have different likes and
dislikes
because children are unique, even
if there are common needs and
characteristics that children of a
particular age or stage of
development share, they must be
understood by their parents and
teachers in their uniqueness and
their individuality must be
respected
the teacher must be
able to get to know and
understand each of the
children and prepare
teaching or learning
activities that will
respond to and reflect
these individual needs of
children
2.Children learn best from
experience.
Children learn by doing, using
their senses, exploring their
environment of people, things,
places and events. They learn
from first hand and concrete
experiences as well as vicarious
forms of experiences
3. Children can and do
learn well from one
another.
there are many skills
and attitudes that
children can learn only
from one another and
that they can teach each
other more effectively
theycan learn to be a
leader as well as a
supportive follower or team
member
they can learn concretely as
they work in groups or in
pairs that different people
have different points of view
they are also sometimes
les comfortable with adults
especially adults who are
in positions of authority
(teacher/parent) so they
will probably be reluctant
to approach the adult to
ask questions for fear of
being scolded or seen as
slow to learn or to
understand
they can be more honest with one
another especially children from
ages 7 and above who are more
comfortable with peers
*in a multigrade classroom where
there are younger and older children
learning side by side at all times, this
is one very important asset that can
be maximized
*In turning to one another for help,
they will be learning one very
important value – that helping one
another is very important not just
in the learning process but also in
daily life. They are also learning
that inside their own classroom
there are many people who are
good “teachers”, not just the one
adult they officially recognize as
the teacher.
4. The role of the
teacher in a classroom
involves setting-up and
managing a learning
environment that will be
conducive to learning
and teaching.
The teacher is a
facilitator who must
make learning possible
by:
Making the plans for
each day, week, month
of a school year;
Arranging the
classroom and adding
materials that are
needed;
Assigning groups to
which the children will
belong bas they work
together each day;
Planning the use of time
and preparing a schedule
that will enable the class
to work productively.
5. The implementation
of the school
curriculum must take
into consideration the
varied abilities, levels
and interests with in a
particular group.
6. The value of any
educational program will
be judged according to
how well it is able to
achieve the goals of the
program-whether the
children actually learn
what they are expected
to learn and how well
they have learned.
7. Inter-aging or the
combination of
children of different
ages is more
respectful of individual
needs of learners and
reflects real-life.
Combining children of
different ages in one
classroom is based on the
basic belief that every
child is unique in terms of
personality, interests,
pace of growth and
development.
Itrecognizes the interaction
between and interrelatedness
of all aspects of growth and
development: physical, social,
emotional and cognitive.
It is important to
emphasize that children
mature and develop across
these aspects of growth
and development in
different ways and at
different paces.
