3. My observation report here: Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte Date of visit: JULY 26, 2011 The school that I observed was Burauen North Central School in which the classrooms, offices, and buildings are conducive for student learning. It develops students’ social interactions. Conducive physical learning Environment is safe, clean, and orderly. The school is found in place where the students can make their projects like computer shops. The classrooms are appropriate to the number of students. My impression on the offices was good. The school has different offices but one that I like among the offices is the office of the Principal of this school because it was very beautiful. I want in this school environment because the facilities, the classrooms and the offices are conducive for the student learning. The school should be located at the town. Beautification and cleanliness were undertaken of this school by tree planting and proper waste disposal. As a future teacher, I will care the classroomYour analysis 1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact on the learning of the students going to school? What is your conclusion? Conductive classroom atmosphere contributes to the learning of the students. Such classrooms have proper ventilation, well-lighted and free from noise. If the school campus is conducive as well as the classroom, the attention of the students will become focused on the lesson. They will learn easily and comfortable. Physical condition of the classroom is not only to be considered as conducive. Teacher strategies are also factor to be considered. If the teacher uses novelty of instructional materials the pupils will become attentive to listen and learn. If there is a mastery of subject matter the lesson will have a sense of direction

that leads to better learning of acquired knowledge, skills and values. 2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/ how does it relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning? In relation to my previous knowledge of child and adolescent development, pupils learn easily if they were exposed to a friendly atmosphere, free from distractions and noises. They could easily learn if every meeting teacher uses variety and novelty of learning materials and motivate them always. In connection to my previous subject facilitating learning that in doing our task as a teacher I should follow the methods and techniques that are best for students to learn. If there will design my own methods and techniques for better earning and see to it that it is effective.

4. Your reflections 1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Yes, I like to teach in the school environment I have observed because the students are motivated to learn although they are not exposed to new technologies in teaching-learning process. They are intrinsically and extrinsically motivated to study. Rain or shine they come to school. Physical environment is also the factor I like, the place is peaceful, safe with proper ventilation and free from distractions. Also, the school in my town. 2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning? If the school campus is very clean, well ventilated and lighted and if it is free from the destruction like noise, pollution etc. 3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning? The kinds of classroom that are conducive to learning are the following: - A high performance school seeks and provides adequate space and opportunities for students and teachers to spread out, reflect, interact, exchange information, examine and test ideas. - The appearance of the school is inviting. Students, teachers, and the local community want it to be there. - The school has adequate natural lighting that enhances productivity. -The school strives for student-friendly conditions throughout the building. - The school is inviting to good teachers and supports their retention. - The school is clean and sanitary. - The risk of an adverse health effect is very small -The school is designed to reduce stress. It is comfortable, has a consistent temperature, and manage noise.

5. EPISODE 2 Learner’s Characteristics and Needs My observation report here:Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOLSchool address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen ,LeyteDate of visit: AUG 02, 2011 The students that I was observed in this episode are the grade VI pupils. In termsof physical domain, the students were move clumsy and smooth. Students are good inwriting and drawing. In terms of social domain, they have good interactions with theirteacher. They help each other to answer their exercises. They are concern to eachother. In terms of emotional, they are serious every time they have a class lesson. Andin terms of Cognitive domain, they comprehend easily by the help of their teacher. I recall my own experiences when I was at this age, my teacher in math helpsme a lot to widen my knowledge. The students that I was observed are similar to ourbatch when we are at this age because they are also disciplined by their teacher. Myfavorite theory of development is Erickson’s Psychosocial because in this theory Ilearned a lot like knowing who I really am; I know how to discipline myself. I learnedthat life should be always positive. It helps me and guides me as a future teacher toknow the development of the students. I should be develop my students grow.

8. Your Reflections 1. While you were observing the learners, did recall your own experiences when you were their age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners you observed? When I was observing the learners, I recall my own experiences when I was at their age. Before, in my elementary years, I was so naughty

yet very participative in the class discussion. I lead some naughty friend of mine too. Sometimes, we don’t enter classes. But during exams, I always got the higher score than with my friends. I never study but still I learn in the discussion because I listen and I was so behave before when the class is going on. And this would be the difference of me from these pupils that I observed. These grades III and IV that I observed, some of them cannot read well even at their level of year in school 2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did she/he help or not help you with your need (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive)? How did it affect you? During my elementary grades, there is one teacher that I idolized and I always remember. She was Mrs Flor C. Pantin. She is quite strict but is a very good teacher. She is a kind hearted and caring teacher. She shows a great concern towards us. She developed us not only in cognitive domain but also in emotional domain. This would be the kind of teacher I would like to be in the future. 3. Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this guide you as a future teacher? My favorite theory of development is different children h a v e d i f f e r e n t characteristics that lead to diverse needs. This could help me as a teacher to become flexible in preparing varied learning strategies to meet the needs of every pupil. This could also guide me to remember always that every learner have multiple-intelligences so I will integrate it to my lesson.

9. EPISODE 3 Classroom Management and Learning My observation report here: Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte Date of visit: AUGUST 23, 2011 As I observed in the class, the characteristics of the learners were very active. They are well-concentrated with their lesson. The classroom organization and routine affect the learners’ behavior by following the rules and procedures of the classroom. The teacher have in mind when she designs the classroom organizations and routines should be the students become knowledgeable and skilled, organized a comfortable and pleasant physical environment for ease in mobility and flow of learning activities. The behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners are following the routines, sensitive to positive and negative interactions in order to maintain discipline and order. The routines and procedures that I consider for this level to discipline them and to maintain the cleanliness of the classroom are daily attendance, prayers, keeping tables and chairs in order before leaving, cleaning blackboard to be ready for next topic and cleaning stains or drops after the lesson. Classroom Management Matrix Aspect of classroom Description Effect on the learners Management 1.

10. Your analysis1. How did the classroom organization and routines effect the learners The classroombehavior? organization and routines serves as their guide inside the classroom. The classroom organization will serve as a guide to organize the flow of the classroom system. Routines will also develop their personality like the spiritual aspect in prayer, physical aspect in exercise, 3 mental aspects in the form of recitation and others.2.

What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classrooms organization The teacher mustand routines? What theories should you have in mind? be knowledgeable I the different multiple intelligences so that the teacher knows the strength 3 weaknesses of the student. For example, some are able to kinesthetic so the teacher must have a classroom routine that develops the kinesthetic ability of the student or if the student is good in the written ability, make quizzes, 3 essay writing a routine inside the classroom. If the student is good in spatial ability, assigned them in classroom designs 3 organization and the same things like what are mentioned.3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? In motivating In managing the behavior of thestudents? Why were they effective? students, the teacher should be knowledgeable in psychological aspects of guiding behavior. The students are very happy whenever they hear positive feedback from the teacher. The teacher must give positive feedback to the learners. In handling misbehaviors, the teacher should always communicate with that student to monitor his behavior.

11. EPISODE 4 Individual differences and Learners Interaction My observation report here:Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOLSchool address: Sta Ana. Burauen, LeyteDate of visit: September 06, 2011 The students that I was observed are the groups that interact more with theirteacher than others. They behaved and interacted differently. All in the groupsparticipated actively. There are some students ask for most help. When the studentsare called by their teacher, and cannot answer the teachers’ question, their classmatestry to help each other. I am proud with their teacher because of her ability to make them disciplined. Ifeel a sense of oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher andlearners because they are all cooperate. As a future teacher, I want the learnersinteract in a good way. I will encourage all learners to interact and participate with myclass by calling their attention and making them as one.Your reflection 1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade level do you see yourself? What routines would you consider for this level? Why? As I imagine myself organizing my own classroom in the future, I would like to teach in a grade IV or V or in the sixth level of the grade level b e c a u s e i t i s m o r e appropriate for me and I’m capable of this level. It is not so hard for me to discipline t h e s e p u p i l s a n d t e a c h them. Such routines and procedures I will consider are conducting prayers, action songs, checking of attendance, checking of assignment, review of previous lesson, and open a new lesson. Such routines also are exposing learners to music, hands-on activities, drill and etc 2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these rules? My rules to be implemented: a. Late should not be accepted in the class. Instead, they will stay in the library This rule is to prevent tardiness inside the classroom procedures. So that later on, they will not be late anymore.

12. b. They should always wear proper uniform. This is for the students to be well-groomed every time they enter the classroom. This tends to increase their self-esteem and feeling of freshness. Through this, their personality will also be determined. They shouldc. Silence must be maintained every time and everywhere. always remain in silence to make the discussion comprehensive and will not cause any disturbances to the other classroom nearby.3. Should The learners shouldlearners be involved in making in class rules? Why? be involved in planning and in making of the classroom procedure so that they will be able to make adjustments and adapt to changes. Furthermore, they will

be able to express their thoughts and feelings regarding the planned procedures. For an instance, if the students follow the seating arrangement alphabetically, in which the shortest among the group is also the one whose seat is on the last chair, if this is the case, it is unfair to the one who is the shortest in the class. To solve this, the seating arrangement should be in an increasing height manner. Thus, an agreement between the educator and the learners is significant to have a competent class. Your reflection1. How did you feel being in what classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher Being in the classroom I feel honored and glad for Iand the learners? am a part of a family because learners become closed to me as well as the teacher.2. In the future, how would you want learners in your classroom to interact? In the future IHow will you make this happen? would like the learners to interact in my classroom actively. I want them to participate so that their cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills will be developed. I will encourage them to cooperate in any activities so that they will learn better and socialize with others as well as being aware of the learning materials used.

13. 3. How will you encourage all learners, regardless of religious, ethnic or racial As future educator, Ibackground, to interact and participate? will encourage the learners to take part and participate in all the school activities in and out of the classroom regardless of their varied religious, ethnic and racial background. They should be treated equally. Nobody should be discriminated and treated as inferiors and don’t ever call dull, fool, damn or any bad words that may hurt the feelings of the learners. As a teacher, one should always be patient and one should commit himself to his profession because teaching is not just a profession but it is a vocation. The teacher should give the very best he can give for his pupils, a service without expecting any rewards from them. It is a service where in the only reward is the successfulness of the learners you have taught. I should also tell them not to discriminate their classmates especially those that came from minority groups. Besides, they should treat them equally and give them importance. I should also encourage them to love one another and to foster friendship among them. They should respect one another to avoid discrimination and most of all to avoid trouble between them Your analysis1. Identify the persons who play key roles in he relationships in the classrooms. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the leader? A mascot/joker, an attention seeker, a little teacher, a All Grade IV pupils play key roledouble/pessimist? in the relations and interactions in the classroom. There appears to be the leader, mascot/joker and a little teacher.2. Are students coming from the minority group accepted or rejected by the Students coming from theothers? How is this shown? minority group are accepted by others who belong to elite family by welcoming and showing them as a friend as well as brothers and sisters3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering The teacher influences the classdifferences of the students? interaction considering the I n d i v i d u a l differences of the students by giving equal treatment to all the pupils and encourage those pupils who are shy to interact and participate during the discussion.4. What factors influence the grouping of leaner’s outside Factors influencing the grouping of learners outsidethe classroom? the classroom are the gender and their age.

14. EPISODE 5 Individual Differences and Learners Interaction My observation report here:Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOLSchool address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, LeyteDate of visit: September 13, 2011 The students who

performed well in the class that I was observed are those whoare present in the class. Some of the students come from average family and aboveaverage family in terms of socio- economic status. The methods and strategies that I will remember in the future to ensure that I willbe able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in my class areencourage learners to share their personal history and experiences, communicate highexpectations to students from all sub-groups, adopt to the students’ diversebackgrounds and learning styles by allowing them personal choice and decisionmaking opportunities concerning what they will learn and how they will learn it. Your analysis 1. Did your observation match information given by the teacher? Were you able to correctly identify who among the students performed well and who did not? What helped you identify them? (Volunteering to answer, responding to teachers directions, etc.) My observations match the given information given by the teacher when the teacher told us the socio-economic status of the students and their way of living which is one of the factors that that affect the learning of the students. I was able to correctly identify also who among the students performed well and who did not because of the way they behave and interact in the class discussion. My observation was proven in their test results, the way they present their ideas and respond to the teacher’s direction. Those active learners aggressively participated in the discussion and raise their hand while the slow learners are quietly seating at the back and looks at you with an empty mind. Those that are eager to learn approached the teacher to ask if there’s something that bothers them. 2. Describe the difference in ability levels of the students in the class. Is there a wide gap between the students who are performing well and those are not? Definitely, yes. There is a wide gap between the students who are performing well and those that do not. This is because those students that are performing well are really a keen observer and really behave well and participated in the class while the slow learners do the opposite

15. 3. Describe the methods used by the teachers in handling the students differences in abilities/ how did the students respond to the teacher? Teacher used collaborate approach in handling the students differences ina b i l i t i e s . S h e u s e d i t f o r t h e p u p i l s h a v e t h e c h a n c e t o s h a r e i d e a s w i t h t h e o t h e r classmates to improve their speaking ability and self-confidence. The students respond the teacher by participating in the activityYour reflection 1. Recall the time when you were in the 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? As I recall the time were I was in the elementary grades, there were really high and low achievers in our class before. Some of my classmates respond easily while others do not. There were slow learners. From my grades 1-6, I have been with these learners. I knew them since we’re in one class. Some of us are very naughty and in fact, I a m o n e o f t h e m . T h e teacher handles us through discussions, review, and oral participation. Sometimes, the teacher conducts groupings/ group activity .I found my teacher before as an effective one because I was able to learn in the way she teaches us. In detail, we always excel in math challenge competition with the different school and always got the first place. However, they may not be that effective for the slow learners or those that have lesser interest in their studies. 2. With the principle of individual differences in mind, what methods and strategies will you remember in the future to ensure that will be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in your class? In a classroom setting, no learner is the

same with the others. Every individual is unique and has different ways to learn. It is advisable for t h e t e a c h e r t o h a v e collaborative approach in order for the students to learn with each other and they may come up with the best solution/ answer to a particular problem given. Having a group work is the best way for them to share ideas. Brain storming may lead to an idea which the teacher doesn’t expect that his/her students may come up with that idea.

16. EPISODE 6 HOME-SCHOOL LINK My observation report here:Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOLSchool address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, LeyteDate of visit: September 20, 2011 The student that I was interviewed in this episode was a grade V-sped, 10yearsold, male, and has three siblings. The style of parenting experienced by the learner thatI was interviewed was authoritative, because his parent achieves a good blend. Thestudent is socially competent, self reliant and has greater ability to show self-control.He has higher self-esteem and better adjusted. The type of parenting that I was experienced is Permissive. My parents are notfirm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be warm and caring but appear tobe uninvolved and uninterested. It affects me to study hard for them to give me careand importance. As a future teacher, I will make a meeting for the parents everygrading period of the school year. I will discuss the attitudes of their daughter/son andtelling the purpose of the meeting. I will help them by guiding their children and byunderstanding and talking with them. They will help me by doing what the right thing todo with their children. The learners Development Profile (outline)Name of the Learner: Seth Yancy Y.

17. Physical Development: The child grows healthy. He can work independently without the assistance of others. However, in terms of heavy works he can’t do it without the assistance of others Social Development: The learner is friendly and sociable. He interact his teacher, classmates and friends outside the school. He learns to communicate with other respectfully. He knows how to socialize other people in a good way Emotional-Moral Development: Since his mother is not home, he learns to live without her presence. He is behaving in school and home. He knows how to respect others. Cognitive Development: His cognitive aspect continuously developed as he comes to school and study. He is not the same as the other learner. He learns fast and participates actively during class activities. Findings: Conclusion: I conclude that the school and home contribute a great impact in developing the cognitive, affective, psychomotor and so as to the total personality of the pupils. Hence the learning of the child begins at home. At home the child learns values, works and his cognitive slowly developed. However, school plays a vital role in molding the child. Since school is made for the purpose of developing physical, social, emotional- moral and cognitive aspect of the learner. As the child goes to study from pre-school until college he spends much time in school rather than at home. So, the total development of the child depends in school as well as the teacher which is the most important person in school that bears knowledge and values to share with the learner Recommendations: I recommend that teacher must be diligent, resourceful and

patience in handling the learners. He/she must use varied strategies in order to catch the interest and attention of the pupils to focus on the lesson. He/she must bear in mind the knowledge that the learners get rather than the salary receive. For the parents, they are responsible in guiding and disciplining their children. They must be open with their children. They should ask them about their study and give encouragement to focus and study hard so as to become successful in their life. The most important is the role of the learner, they must be motivated to learn and participate since they are responsible of their own learning.Your analysis

18. Your findings and recommendations in the learner development profile will help you answer the question here. 1. From your home-visit and interview, what do you think is the style of parenting experienced by the learner? Explain your answer. From my home visit and interview, parents used authoritative parenting style. If one of their children commits mistakes they make children understand consequence of their behavior. Have clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children 2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family factors do you think contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the learner in school? In relation to what I have learned from child development , s u c h f a m i l y f a c t o r s contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the learner in school are parent factors if how they act in front of their children, how they impose discipline among the members of the family and how they guide and nurture their children. Broken family is also factor because child grows without a father or mother who is responsible in taking care of him/her. He feels isolated from others who have complete family. With this, he will develop a sense of discrimination in the society. He could find difficulty in doing adjustments at school. 3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If, yes what are these effects? Yes, the communications between the home-school has an effect on the learner. Such effects are, parents become aware of the performance of his/her child. With this, they could guide their child in performing better at school. Teachers also, become aware of the learners behavior by asking the background of the chilYour reflection 1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you experience? How did it affect you? Authorization parenting style is used by my parents. They are very firm with us and expect unwavering and unquestioning obedience. There are rules set by them to be followed and our misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threat.

19. 2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How can you work well with the parents? How can you help them? How can they help you? As a future teacher, I could establish good home-school collaboration by conducting meeting once a month among the parents regarding the performance of their child. I will make counseling to them together with their child. By this, I will be able to inform them about the progress and failure of their child. In return, they could help me by encouraging their child to study at home and discipline their child to behave in school.Optional Reflection Activities: 1.

20. FIELD STUDY 2 EXPERINCING THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS Looking Through the Meaningful Learning EPISODE 1 Experiences My observation

report here:Name of the School observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOLSchool Address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, LeyteCourse: BTHELE IIWhat principles in teaching-learning were commonly applied? -The principles in teaching-learning were commonly applied were learning is anactive process begin with the end in mind, learning is meaningful when it is connectedto student’s everyday life and good teaching goes beyond recall of information. Thesewere the principles that the teachers applied in her teaching learning process.What instructional materials were used in teaching?- Such instructional materials were used in teaching are charts, pictures flashcardsbooks and visual aids.Which of the principles in teaching facilitate the cognitive, Meta cognitive andpositive motivational process of learning?-Aim at the development of critical and creative thinking is the principles that facilitatethe cognitive, Meta cognitive and positive motivational process of learning. Hence, thisprinciple includes questions of high-level, divergent and open-ended questions. Thisserve as catalyst in the development of higher-order thinking skills or creative thinkingskills for this reason, the whole brain must be used for balanced learning not just theleft or critical thinking but also the right for creative thinking. This principle also, allowsyou to think aloud and Meta cognate in order to create logical and creative ideas insuch problems.

21. Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience: The teacher is responsible in aiming at the development of critical and creative thinking amongthe learners. He must not only ask questions begin with what, who, where and when hence these arelow-level questions. If the teacher wants to develop the thinking skills of the learners he must exercisequestions of how and why in such a way their critical and creative thinking will be developed. Theteacher must employ teaching strategies and techniques that serve as a catalyst in the developmentof higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Open-ended questions must be included since learners areallowed to think aloud and meta cognate their ideas in order to arrive into better ideas.

22. EPISODE 2 Learners’ Characteristics and Needs My JournalName of the School observed: BNCSSchool Address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, LeyteGrade level: V-Sped subject area:Description of Teaching Strategies:Classroom strategies using visual processing and mnemonic strategiesaroused by the teacher. Teacher used visual aids in her discussion aspowerful aids in retention as well as in understanding. She used visual aids for moreunderstanding and learning that pupils will acquire. She also used mnemonic strategiesthat assist students in recalling important information. Since learners need to be taughtagain to remember important information that is useful in everyday lifeDescription of Learning Activities:Learning activities done by the teacher and students were successful. The learnerswere able or participate and cooperate with each other. The actively participated eventhough their answers were wrong.The said learning activities gave impact to the personality of the pupils as well as theircognitive and psychomotor skills.

A n d t h e i r s k i l l s i n w r i t i ng w e r e a l s o developed through the given written exam by the teacherDescription of Learners Participation (proportion of learners who participatedand quality of participation):Most of the pupils participate; only few of them are not. So, there was a highpercentage of participation. There is a good quality of participation since majority of theclass participate during activities. They learn to participate w/c is a sign of

developingcommunication skills and improving self-confidence.Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience: In relation to one of the guiding principles in the selection and use of teachingstrategies that learning is an active process. The teacher should actively engage thelearners in learning activities if he/she wants them to learn what he/she intend to teach.For nobody can learn for us in the same way that nobody can eat for us, nor live for us,nor die for us. So, teacher should give students opportunities to participate inclassroom activities. He/she have to give varied activities to the students for “hands-on-minds-on” learning. Hence the most effective approaches according to the researchersare learning by doing and learning by teaching others.

23. EPISODE 3 Assisting Teacher with a “Teachers’ Toolbox” An Observation Guide for Assisting Teacher 1. What are the objectives of the lessons? Uses of adjective to describe an object. Write a sentence to describe objects. Draw an object. 2. How do the learners participate in the learning activities? The learners did not participate actively because they find the lesson quite difficult. They try to think what the lesson all about is by listening attentively to the teacher. They ask questions that are difficult for them. They try to participate even though their answers their answers are wrong so that the teacher will correct it. 3. What instructional materials are employed? Word flashcards, charts, drawing materials and real objects are instructional materials used by the teacher. 4. How does the teacher assess the learning of the lessons? Is she assessing the process or the product? The teacher assessed both the process and product. During the process which was the discussion, the teacher asked some questions to the learners this was her way in assessing the process. After the discussion the teacher gave exam to the learners which were the product. 5. What reasons does the teacher give in having such learning activities? The teacher given such learning activities because she wants to improve and develop the cognitive, affective, psychomotor skills as well as the personality of the learners.

In progressive curriculum, there is a quality of education – the teachers are competitive and ready to compete to our globally competitive world. The students in progressive curriculum, and eager to learn unlike in traditional curriculum.

5. My Enriching Activities If you are to design a curriculum for your own school, what are the things you need to consider?Accomplish the graphic organizer below. Strategies/ Methods to be used Best The support of instructional my personnel, materials for teachers and Things I Need to other staff of my teaching institution Do to Consider in Preparing My School’s Curriculum The learner’s The school’s needs and Vision, Mission interest and Core Values My Analysis 1. Why do we need to consider the traditional and progressive points of view of curriculum? So that we should transfer the traditional one to progressive. Nowadays, there is really a need to have a progressive curriculum because today’s generation is far different from that of the past. We must need to suit the needs of the time. Everything is changing yet it has a good outcome for everyone.

6. 2. How do the different educational philosophies relate to the curriculum in theschools you visited? Cite examples/situations. Educational philosophies are related to the school I’ve beenobserved for they have a quality education. They are PAASCUaccredited. Aside

from engaging to activities that enhance thelearning of the students, the teachers also mold them to be goodcitizens through Vincentian formation.3. Why is there a need to revise the curriculum from time to time? There is a need to revise the curriculum from time to time forus to suit the needs of time. We should go on with the flow of lifeand we should revise the it now because curriculum in the past is notanymore very effective or suited for today’s generation. My Reflections/ My Insights Language is dynamic as well as the curriculum. We have differentcurriculum in the past and in the present. We are now in a globallycompetitive world. A world that also needs competitive teachers andstudents. So, how will you become competitive if your curriculum istraditional? And if it doesn’t aware of the new learnings of today? Students now are fond of using computers. They will probablychoose going to the computer shop than going to school. As a teacher,what will you do? Don’t be a boring teacher! An effective way of solvingthis kind of phenomena is that the teachers must use technology inteaching. Make it as your partner in delivering a lesson so that thestudents will not get bored. Make a teaching-learning process lively andmeaningful.

10. My Map For this concept, go through the following steps. 2. Interview a school1. Visit a school and find out administrator/faculty abouthow they attain the aims of how they concretize their elementary, secondary and schools vision and goals into tertiary education. the curriculum. 3. Record the different 4. Interview one or two methods/startegies that theystudents and ask them their employed to attain their schools vision/mission. schools objectives.

11. My Tools For this Episode, visit a school/university or get a copy of the school brochure. Copy theschool/university’s vision, mission and goals on this page. V I •The St. Louise de Marrillac College of Sorsogon of the St. Louise de S Marrilac Educational System of the Daughters of Charity is an audacious Christ-centered ministry commited to empowering I communitiesto learners into inner-directed Vincentian leaders and advocates of persons who are poor.

O •Compassionate Service. A •Co-responsibility. •Solidarity. L •Commitment to Excellence. S •Social Commitment. •Simplicity

12. My Analysis1. How important is the school’s vision, mission and goals in designing the curriculum? It is important in designing the curriculum because it will serve as trademark ofthe school. These are what the school needs to accomplish. They have vision, missionand goals so that the school will be able to maintain their objectives and standards inschool.2. What methods and strategies were employed by the school community to realize these goals? The methods and strategies were employed is through activities that suited tothe vision, mission and goals of the school. The school community does their best justto make sure that the curriculum of their school should be effective to the students.And to achieve this, they will serve first as the model to the students. They are theone who will first apply the vision, mission and goals of the school in their day-to-daylives.3. How did the students manifest that they have internalized their vision, mission and goals? Through engaging themselves in the different activities that the school hasimplemented. If they follow the rules and regulations of the school that even thoughthey are outside of the school, or they are already graduated, still they did not forgetthe vision, mission and goals that they previous school had. And if the students stillapply these thing in real-life situation, not only inside the classroom or campus. My Reflections/ My Insights The school should have its vision, mission and goals so that the

students have a rule to be followed. This helps the students to be morally upright. In this institution, there are lots of things that I’ve learned. This is the type of school that has a quality of education. As a student, there are lots of Do’s and Don’ts to be followed. And this made me become a better person.

15. My MapIn order to reach my target I should do the following steps using the given pyramid. 3. Write your insights on teaching and learning. 2. Observe a class. 1. Write your ideas on teaching and learning.

16. My Tools For this episode, I will use the activity from given below.Interview a teacher. Ask if they perform these series of actions in the teaching process. • Includes decisions about: P •the needs of the learners L •the aschievable goals and objectives to meet the needs •the selection of the content to be taught A •the motivation to carry out the

goals N •the strategies that are suited to carry out the goals/objectives •the evaluation process to measure learning outcomes. I M P L •requires the teacher to implement what has been planned. based on E the objectives, implementation means to put into action the different activities in order to achieve the goals through the subject M matter. E N T E V A •a match of the objectives with the learning outcomes will be made. L the kind of information should be determined so that the type of U evaluation should be chosen to fit the purpose. • it will answer the question if the plans and implementation has been A succesfully achieved. T E

17. Observe a class, record the situations where these behavioral learning theories are applied in realclassroom work. Behavioral Learning Theories – emphasize observable behavior such as new skills, knowledge or attitudes which can be demonstrated. When the teacher gives activity such as research work, experimentations, demonstration of a certain thing and the like. This will help the teacher to examine the learner’s behavior for the certain activity. Cognitive Learning Theories – unobservable mental processes are used to learn and remember new information or acquire skills. This is seen during recitation, quizzes, exams, projects, etc. wherein, the teacher could be able to measure the learning capacity of an individual.

18. Discovery Learning – individuallearns from his discovery of theenvironment. Learning by Doing. This is seen during the experimentation, thesis, research and the like. Wherein the students are able to explore and could get ideas out of what they saw in their surroundings/environment. Reception Learning – learners are actively involved in their own learning. We could say that it will be seen during performances like drama, role plays, poem, reciting, singing, etc. The learners are actively participating and learn a lot through mingling with others. If the activities are on their needs or their capacity to do such thing. And if it is based on their skills and abilities.

19. My Analysis1. Explain why teaching and learning give life and meaning to the curriculum. Teaching and learning give life and meaning to the curriculum because this isthe process wherein the teacher and the students interact with each otherinterchangeably or vice versa. If there is an effective teaching-learning process, it’sreally a big help to the curriculum. It’s a big honor because each complements andsupplements each other. The value placed in teaching will reap the same value inlearning. Thus, a good curriculum can be judged by the kind if teaching and the qualityof learning derived from it.2. Discuss why the deluge of information poses a great challenge to both teaching and learning. The curriculum seems to be overloaded since it has too many subjects to cover,too many topics to be discuss. Sometimes, the curriculum is fragmented or is simplybowed. Unfortunately, the learner’s life is not compartmentalized. My Reflections/ My Insights I LIKE TEACHING BECAUSE... For me this is a very challenging and exiting profession of all. Teaching is the noblest of all profession. I like teaching because It molds the hearts, minds and hands of students. If you are really an effective and efficient teacher, you could touch your student’s lives. You will be their inspiration and they will never forget you for the rest of their lives.

22. My MapTo reach my target, I should do these steps. Observe a class. 1 Identify the curriculum 2 design used by schools. Reflect and write my 3 insights/learning gained from the activities.

23. My Analysis1. Examine the Basic Education Curriculum. What aspects do you want to modify. Why? I want t modify the English subject in Secondary Education Curriculum. Thiswas said that in English, this addresses the communicative needs of students byadopting a communicative, interactive, collaborative approach to learning as well asreflection and introspection with the aim in view of developing autonomous languagelearners aware of and able to cope with global trends.2. What curriculum models do you prefer? Why? I will choose Learner-Centered Design because among the progressiveeducational psychologists, the learner is the center of the educative process. Thisemphasis is very strong in the elementary level, however, more concern has been placedon the secondary and even the tertiary levels.

24. My Reflections/ My Insights Subject – Centered Problem-Center Design Model Design Model This model focuses on the content of Draws on social problems, needs,the curriculum. interests, and abilities of the learners. Various problems are Correspondents

27. Identify the Give some dimensions situationExamine a of the samples ofcurriculum curriculum each design dimension My Tools Vertical repetition and recurring approaches of the content provideContinuity continuity.

28. Examples of topics in a subject area where content is organized in a spiral fashion increasing in breadthand depth. For example in English, the topic is part of speech. So, to

discuss all the partsof speech, you should organize fist the first part of speech to be discussed. Example,here are the sequence, discuss first the noun, followed by pronoun, next is verb,followed by adjective and so forth. My Analysis1. Why is there a need to articulate the lessons from grade school to high school? There is a need to articulate the lessons from grade school to high school thatthere is a connection between the lower level and the next level. So that if thestudents are entering high school, they will not be surprised because the lessons s stillrelated when they are in elementary. As a teacher, you should discuss the lesson fromstep by step, the lesson should be organized. The teacher must not jump into anothertopic without finishing the previous one.

29. My Reflections/ My InsightsAs a teacher, I need to understand fully well the dimensions ofcurriculum design because… This is really needed when you are in the teachingprofession. This must be followed to avoid confusion in thepart of the students. The teacher should be aware of thesethings so that whenever/whatever schools she will beassigned, she had already had the knowledge about thedimensions of curriculum design. And in order for her toalso understand the curriculum she belongs, for her torespect the curriculum of the school that she presentlyteaching.

32. My MapTo get on task, I should know the answers to these questions. teaches? do teachers teach? do teachers teach? do teachers teach? much of the teachers? lessons were learned? do we teach?

33. My ToolsInterview a teacher in the school you visited and inquire how they have utilized their parents as schoolpartners in education. I interviewed Mrs. Lea Gabad a teacher from Matnog National High School which I conducted an actual examination in her class as part of our requirements in Assessment of Learning 1 under Mr. Ruel Frago. According to her, parents are really important as one of the partners of the school in education because parents play a big part in education. At the beginning of the school year, during the Brigada Eskwela, parents are the person invited to help the school by means of cleaning in the entire school. All of the parents are helping each other for the good of the school and for the good of their children. They want to help the school because this is the second home of their children having teachers as a second parents.

34. My Analysis1. As a future teacher, I need to know and understand the six (6) features of the curriculum because... These are really important for me to become an effective and efficient teacher someday. For me, to be able to know the things I should do for the good of my students, and to my curriculum as well. My Reflections/ My Insights Be a well-developed teacher! As a future teacher, this is a big challenge to me. Could I become an effective and efficient teacher someday? Could I effectively use my head, hearts and hands in helping my students to be better? According to Dr. Koo the teacher should use the 3H’s in teaching the students. Head—teaching lots of ideas to learning, by molding them academically; Hearts—helps them if they have a problem/s, be a compassionate teacher; and Hands—be helpful, be approachable, we should not help the students through financial aspects but we could help them through giving advices and support.

1.1 . DepEd Vision

We are people organization committed to a culture of excellence in public service. Believing that the most important resource of our country is its people, we make the task of educating the Filipino child our singular mission.

We assist the Filipino child to discover his/her full potential in a child-centered and value-driven teaching-learning environment and thereby, enable him/her to create his/her own destiny in global community. We prepare him/her to become a responsible citizen and an enlightened leader who loves his/her country and is proud to be a Filipino.

We provide a school system… Where teachers and principals achieve the desired learning outcome not only because they are empowered, competent and accountable, but because they care;

Where administrator exercise visionary leadership responsive to emerging learning needs of the nation; ensure adequate resources; promote appropriate technology; create and sustain a conducive climate to enhance learning; and

Where the family, the community and other institutions actively support our efforts. We affirm the right of every Filipino child especially the less advantaged to benefit from such a system.

This is our vision. With God’s help, we dedicate all our talents and energies to its realization.

Promote a oneness with the education family and a deep sense of Loyalty that enhance personal and professional well-being.

1.5. Curriculum Description

The Field Study Course are intended to provide students with practical learning experiences in which they can observe, verify, reflect on and actually experience different components of teaching learning process in actual school settings. The experiences will begin with field observation and gradually intensify until the students undertake practice teaching

Field Study 2Experiencing the Teaching-Learning Process

Field Study 5Learning Assessment Strategies

Field Study 3Technology in the Learning Environment

Field Study 6On Becoming a Teacher

1.6. Legal Foundations

CHED Memo Order no. 30 (CMO 30) was promulgated on September 13,2004 for the purpose of rationalizing the undergraduate teacher education in the country to keep pace with the demands of global competitiveness. It is in accordance with the pertinent provisions of Republic Act No 7722, The Higher Education Act of 1994. CMO 30 embodies the policies and standards for the undergraduate teacher education curriculum.

Article V. Sec 13. Of CHED Memorandum Order 30 states that , “field study courses are intended to provide students with practical learning experiences in which they observe, verify, reflect on, in actual school settings. The experiences will begin with field observation and gradually intensify until students undertake practice teaching.

The field study courses are composed of six field study subjects and practice teaching

1.7 Theoretical Foundations

The FS 1 Course uses the principle of Vygotskian principle of Social Dimension of knowledge example meaningful learning and construction of knowledge will occur if learner work hands-on in relevant settings and with the proper guidance. Complementary to Vygotsky’s theory is Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory. .He asserted that learning takes place not only through imitation but also through observation.

Situated Learning Theory as mentioned by Vygotsky and Bandura. They emphasize that knowledge needs to be presented in authentic context like settings and applications wthat would normally involve that knowledge and that learning requires social interaction and collaboration.

Reflective Education. John Dewey stressed the vital role that reflection played in the growth and development of teachers. Reflection allows the learner to explore his/her experience s in order to arrive at new undesrstanding or insights. It may be done individually or through sharing and discussion with others.

Ramasamy (2002) stresses that Reflective Practices highlighted Kolb (1984) on his model of experiential learning cycle regards the process of reflecting upon experience as crucial stage because experience without reflections does not lead on learning.

1.8. Approach to Field Study

OBSERVATIONS (Bandura & Vygotsky) actual setting is used to train students senses to really focus on important details of the learning situation and perceive them with clarity and objectivity. It entails that students learn to differentiate making an observation and interpreting the observations

ANALYSIS (Bruner) involves the use of critical thinking to break down the components of what was observed, orchestrated or organized. It will also involve the ability to synthesize or organize into a coherent pattern some of the salient points of what one has analyzed and learned

REFLECTION (Dewey) involves the past, the present and future of FS student. Student should reflect on relevant experiences that might have affected their beliefs, values and attitudes about learning. This allows the integration of the future teacher as first and foremost a person with beliefs, values and attitudes.

1.9. Suggested Guidelines for Field Study Students. These set of guidelines will help pre-service students in the successful conduct of their field studies.

1. FS students are required to accomplish successfully activities in at least 17 hours every semester in every FS courses.

2. FS activities should be under the supervision of the FS Faculty of TEI in collaboration with the FS Cooperating Schools

3. FS student shall secure appropriate FS permits and undergo orientation/briefing before he/she is deployed in cooperating school.

4. Each FS shall secure a FS Notebook for each course

5. FS student shall wear official school/ university uniform during the SC in cooperating schools.

6. FS student shall demonstrate proper behavior in the presence of the learners, teachers, school personnel, administration and parents.

7. FS student shall request the signature of the resource teacher or person or the field study faculty immediately after the activity has been done

8. FS student is required to prepare a PORTFOLIO for every field study course. The FS Teacher is encouraged to prepare his/her rubric for authentic assessment of the portfolios. This rubric can be discussed with the students as art of the orientation so they would know what criteria will be used and how their portfolio will be assessed.

1.10. Classroom observation etiquette for student teachers1. Be sure to be on time. School principals, Department / Curriculum Heads and teachers have a lot to do, and we don't

want to abuse their hospitality by creating extra work. At least for the first week that each group (A,B,C,D) goes to a new school, wait until most or all of your colleagues are present and go in together.

2. When you enter a school building always go directly to the office and sign-in in the logbook and the bundy clock, reflect this to your form 48.  Typically this will include you wearing an identification badge before you go to your classroom.  (Not all schools have a badge type system).  Don't forget to sign out when you leave the school as well.

3. Remember, you will be observing in groups with a members of three or four at each site.  You will visit each sites; General Santos City High School, Fatima High School, Lagao National High School and MSU-CETD High School. Your observation period will be a half-day, beginning at the start of your teacher’s day and ending when the students leave for lunch or you can have it in the afternoon.  You will need to take the time at the end of your observation to complete your reflections in your journal.Do not sit next to fellow MIT students in the classroom. If you are able, sit in different parts of the room with different views of the classroom. If it ever seems possible, try to sit at the front of the room sometimes so that you can see students’ faces.

4. In order to explain your presence in the classroom, ask the teacher to introduce you to the students in the class. Let them know that you are also students who are learning about teaching. Also, let the teacher know what kinds of things you will be observing each day.

5. Do not initiate conversation with the children nor interfere as they do their work. If the children engage you, be polite but not engaging. If you avoid most individual eye contact, scan the room as you observe and take notes, the students probably will ignore you after they get used to your being there. Remember, this semester your task is to focus on observing and taking notes.

6. You may see things in the classroom that you don't agree with. These observations will give you your first chance to control your body language -- your non-verbal responses. If you see something you are uncomfortable with, describe it in your journal and don't discuss it with anyone but the faculty. Remember you are a guest, not a classroom parent nor a paid evaluator.

7. You’ll notice in the weekly guidelines, questions to ask the teacher. Check in with the teacher for a convenient time to pose these questions and talk for about 5 minutes.

8. At the end of each observation session, plan to meet with your observation partners for 20 to 30 minutes. Go out of the school and find a spot to debrief what you each saw and what questions you may have. Note alternate interpretations your partners bring to the same situation. For example, maybe I thought the teacher was angry and aggressive in giving directions, my observation partner may have interpreted that same interaction as the teacher being clear and direct. After each observation and reflection, write down a question or two about teaching, learning, and schooling that arises from your observation. We will share these on Friday afternoons (see syllabus).

9. At the end of your observation, be sure to let the teacher know how much you appreciated the opportunity to observe. A note or card is always appropriate. If you can think of one or two things that you learned or thought were particularly good, let the teacher know.

10. It is important to appreciate that these teachers are being generous to let us come in and observe. It is easy for outsiders and people new to the profession to be highly critical of what is going on in the classroom. While we want you to reflect deeply on the relationship between teaching, learning, and schooling, it is not appropriate to be negatively critical of the teachers we visit. We don’t know their circumstances, and teaching is a very complex profession.

11. You are bound by confidentiality and must not discuss anything you hear or see in the classroom with people outside the program. Do not have conversations with your peers in public places where you may be overheard. You never know if the teacher’s best friend or the parent of a child is sitting near you. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET!!!

Here's to a great experience!1.11. Strategies used in Field Observations:

1. Noting Classroom Organization, Procedures and Common Student Characteristics – This type observation yields an overall perspective of classroom functioning and is often a good format for someone new to the setting.  The observer uses a four-column sheet to list characteristics of  (a) the physical arrangement, (b) the daily procedures and routines, (c) the transitions, and (d) the students assigned to the classroom/program.

2. Scripting Lesson – The observer keeps a running record of everything that happens during the instructional period to get an overview of the lesson.  The idea is to write down everything that happens without making judgments.  Afterward the teacher and observer can discuss and analyze the data.

3. Completing a Lesson Plan – Using a formal lesson plan format, the observer completes the categories to get an understanding of how the lesson was organized.  Objectives, materials, methods and procedures, individual student adaptations, homework assignments, and student evaluation should all be noted.

4. Identifying Problems & Solutions – This type of observation gives insight into the teacher’s ability to solve problems as they arise in the classroom.  The observer records problem situations and how the teacher resolved each problem.  As a good teacher often “prompts” appropriate behavior to avoid problems, the observer may also record the “prompts” used to prevent problems.

5. Tallying Reinforcement & Correction – The observer uses a tally sheet to develop an understanding of how the teacher keeps the students focused during a lesson.  On a two-column (reinforcement – correction) sheet the observer records the words or actions used by the teacher to reinforce appropriate behavior and redirect inappropriate behavior.

6. Recording Events Related to Specific Student – To develop a better understanding of one student, the observer concentrates solely on that student.  He/She records all events and behaviors related to that student.  Afterward the teacher and observer can discuss and analyze the information.

7. Time Analysis – The observer notes the time that the teacher started each “piece” of the lesson to examine the “pace” of the lesson and how the teacher manages to fit the structure of the lesson into the allotted time period.  Time spent introducing the lesson, passing out materials, reviewing past learning, teaching a new concept, practicing new learning, assigning homework, cleaning up, etc. can all be documented.

8. Teacher & Student Movement – A seating chart and arrows are used to document movement throughout the lesson.  Notes can be made on the chart to record conversations and activity at various locations throughout the classroom.   Using a different color arrow for teacher movement will give a better idea of how the teacher circulated among the students.

9. Directions/Response Record – A two-column (teacher directions – student response) sheet is used to record the teacher’s directions and the associated pupil response.  This can be used to emphasize he importance of providing clear, concise direction to the class.

10. Question/Answer Record – A two-column (teacher question – student answer) sheet is used to record all the questions that a teacher asks and the corresponding student responses.  Data from this observation will give insight into the type of questioning used to elicit higher level thought from the student.

11. Discussion Analysis – The observer uses a seating chart to document the interactions that the teacher has with individual students.  It can be used as a tool to identify how many students are involved in classroom discussion.  If the class is broken into smaller groups, the observer may record the discussion interaction in one of the groups.
