Student Survey

This survey is the instrument we use to gather valuable information regarding our students. Th

importance of this information is that with the data we collect, we can make decisions in the wa

we are going to facilitate learning in our students. As a teacher, we need to know all relevant

information regarding our students, such as: the name, gender; medical condition and others.

The demographic data that we collect from the survey includes the name, gender, address, name

of the mother, name of the father, with whom the student live. This information allows to the

teacher to have a clear view of each student in the classroom. The student interest are also

important for the teacher because gather the most powerful information in my opinion. Theteacher, when doing the lesson planning, should have in mind the students interests so they find

it interesting, pay attention and participate in class. In the survey, I target these area asking them

about their favorite T.V. shows, favorite sport, among others. All this questions are essential fo

a teacher to ask to the students because let you have an overall look to your new students and

these reflect in your planning and delivering the class. As Ausebel state with the meaningful

learning only when a person sees the importance of something they learn it. If you approach

your students with something they like, consider important most likely they will be engage and

learning will take place.

II. Graph of Survey Results

The group profile is a valuable instrument for the teacher. This instrument let me as a teacher t

know my students. Knowing my students I will take the most effective ways to reach my

students when planning my class.

Table # 1 Gender

The Kindergarten group at the CDPRE is divided into 6 female students and 14 male students.

The educational impact of this fact is that when I planning my class I have to have this in mind,

that I have more boys and girls, when choosing a story or a game. I have to target the majority o

my students so they are motivated to learn. This not means that I will forget the female

population. Also when decorating the room you have to take this information in mind so my

students feel comfortable.

Table # 2 Age

The age is another key factor in the preparation of the lesson plans. According to the age they

are at the moment will be their attitudes, teachers should remember in what developmental stag

they are in order of not expect more they are capable off. Also according of the age will be the

attention period, a student of kindergarten the periods are 30 minutes because that the longest

they can pay attention at this with difficulty.

Another important issue is that according the age you have to be more physical active in order o

have their attention. The activities have to be active, exciting, using lots of song, games and

knowing about the cartoons they like the most.

In this case in particularly I have to keep in mind that an 80 % of my students are in the range o

5 years old and I have a 20 % in the range of 4 years old. The implication of this is that my

students that are already in the range of 5 years old will have achieve to develop some skills

better than the ones in the 4 years range. Its important to me to be able of find a balance.

Table # 3 Year of Birth

The importance of know the date of birth of my student is that will aloud me as a teacher to

know exactly in which part of the development my student will be. Let think for a second that

notice that I have a student that according with their age should be presenting some skills and

strength and that in that case are missing. I will start an observation and use the group profile i

specific this question to see in which year the student was born, from there go and found in

which stage of the development the student should be. After that decide if the case is severe

refer the student with the social worker and see how we can help the student.

Table #4 Residence

As a teacher we need to know our students that include where did they lived. You need to know

how far the student live, whit whom does the student lived. The educational implication of kno

where the student live is that if you are having students that lives in places susceptible to

flooding, you know that he/she will be absent every time that the weather is bad.

Knowing the resident of the student you will know if the students came from a residential or

from urbanization, this is not for discrimination, but an important information that help you to

understand possible attitudes that the students possibly show. This information helps the teache

have general information regarding the incomes that the family of the students possesses. This

important because depending of this will be the parents participation in activities that you plan

Table #7 Country where the Student where Born

This information will help the teacher when presenting new topics is able to use material or idethat the student can rely on it. The importance of this is that you can target diversity in the

classroom. Students will be able to learn about other countries, their cultures and compare with

their own.

This information can help you beforehand you know in what countries some of you students

have been. You include that places in your class so those students can share their experiences i

that country and the ones that never left the island will gain knowledge and also impart what th

know about P.R. to the others.

Table # 8 Have you lived outside of Puerto Rico?

This is an important question to make in a questionnaire because in education, it will help the

teacher to make good decisions in the classroom. When they see other cultures, their view of th

world changes and they no longer consider themselves the center of the earth. You can learn

about differences and gain knowledge. The teacher can use those students that have had the

chance of traveled outside of Puerto Rico, to share experiences with the peers.

Table # 11 Favorites T.V. Shows

When you know what your students watch help you to make a connection with them. The

students will be more receptive to new material if they feel that you understand him or her.

When the teacher makes connection with the student, the student is completely fertile for new

knowledge. In my personal case I didnt know anything regarding these T.V. shows, with the

exception of few. For me is real important to start looking at this shows so Im able to connect

with the little ones.

language. In my personal experience, I was recently forced to use in class a cartoon I never lik

it before, Barney but it is no longer about me . The important thing is that my students like it an

learned the skills they need to master at their level.

Analysis of Results

Introduction

As part of my practice teaching I need to coduct a group profile for this purpose I have to

administer a questionnaire to my students. In my case because they are in kindergarten I send

the form to the parents. Only one student didnt turn the questionnaire back and a second stude

that we just received yesterday. For this reason I dont have the information of these two

students. Also from the students that returned the questionnaire, they didnt answer some

questions. This is the reason that, in some questions, the percentage is different. In my

kindergarten group the parents are very supportive they answer the questions. My students areversatile, actives and full of energy. The process of gathering the information was easy.

Analysis

The gender: The majority of my students are boys this implicates that when planning my class I

have to take this in consideration. The preferences of the boys and girls are different which

means that I will spend more time in boys stories than girls.

My students are between 4 and 5 years old. The majority of them are 5 years old. This will

reflect how mature the students are. That gave me an idea how my students will act in the

classroom.

P a g e | 23


24/27

The towns from where my students came are important to know because in a weather situatio

such as floods, you need to act quickly. If you have students that live in area susceptible t

flood, you need to send them home quickly. Or in case it starts raining and you are waiting f

the parent they may be late because they are far and could face flooding.

The parents educational preparation is real important because you know as a teacher if you w

count with the parents support. Most likely when one or both parents are professionals their ki

tend to be more successful at school. In my kindergarten group the groups of father have th

follow preparation:

High School (7)

Associate Degree (2) BA (2) MD (1) Technical Course (1) Collage (2)

In my kindergarten group of mother have the follow preparation:

High School (2) Associate Degree (4) BA (9) MD (1) Technical Course (1) Collage (2)

P a g e | 24


25/27

From this information we can deduct that women today have more academic preparation tha

men do.

In kindergarten, all the parents helped my students with their homework this is important t

know because they are committed to the education of their kids. Parents like these are the on

that will support you in their home, practicing the material at home.

P a g e | 25


26/27

I. Reflection

The data I collect from the questionnaire had a huge impact in my effort of

facilitate learning to my students. In first instance starting with the gender. Having

this in mind when choosing books to read, or activities, even decorating the room

this is vital to know. In my kindergarten we have more boys than girls, because o

this when selecting a book should be about cars, sports, and action. That does no

mean I will forget the girls, I will also target their needs. Also knowing the favorit

cartoon lets me use it during the class so my students are more motivated to

participate in class.Knowing with whom my students lived, if they lived with both parents or with only

one parents have a huge impact in my classroom. That can explain why the studen

acts in the classroom the way they do. If they are going through a rough time, suc

as a divorce, can affect the way the act and perform in classroom. Also this

information provide with the information of both parents in case they are divorced

Knowing this information you can make decisions in how to help your students.

P a g e | 26


27/27

Also knowing the profession of the parents will let the teacher know if the student

will receive help and good input from the parents. Also this will show how the

economic situations are in our students home. When a teacher is realizing a

lesson plan this is important because we have to have in mind if all our students can

afford buy the materials for the project. If the answer is no, we need to modify th

activities so all the students can participate.

Other information that helps the teacher is to know how the students get to school

If they dont have a car or the car is old you have to have that in consideration i

you have on mind for homework or special project them to go to Ponce thisinformation is vital because those students will not be able to go to Ponce. The

teacher will need to make changes so all the students are able to realize the

homework. Without this questionnaire, the teacher would not be able to make tha

analysis and some students will be left out. This is very important for the teacher

because we need to include all students.

The majority of students like to watch Discovery Kids and Atencin, Atencin

and Hi 5 and Lazy Town knowing this will help the teacher to use characters or

songs that the students already know.

The majority of my student likes baseball, basketball and soccer. This information

will help the teacher to integrate this in the class. By doing this, the students wil

really be able to identify with the subject.
