    The document summarizes a field study activity where the student observed learners from preschool, elementary, and high school levels to understand differences in their characteristics and needs. Key observations included: - Preschoolers were energetic but had less developed motor skills - Elementary students interacted well with peers and teachers but sometimes used bad language - High school students were quiet during class and reluctant to answer questions for fear of being called on The student reflected on implications for teaching, such as incorporating movement for preschoolers and not expecting raised hands from high school students. Overall, the activity helped the student analyze learner characteristics to inform future teaching practices.

    Your Target
    At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in differentiating the
    characteristics and needs of learners from different developmental levels.

    Your Map
    To reach your target, do the following tasks:

    Step 1
    Observe 3 groups of learners
    from different levels
    (preschool, elementary, and
    high school)
    Step 2
    Describe each of the learners
    based on your observations

    Step 3
    Validate your observation
    by interviewing the
    learners.
    Step 4
    Compare them in terms of
    their interests and needs.

    Your
    Tools

    Use the activity form provided for you to document your observations.

    An Observation Guide for the CLASSROOM VISIT

    checklist if a more detailed observation is preferred.
    Physical

    walk, run, go up the stairs, etc.?
    2. Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth?
    3. How about their fine motor skills? Writing, drawing, etc.
    Social

    Cognitive
    1. Describe their ability to use words to communicate their ideas. Note: their
    language proficiency.
    2. Describe how they figure out things. Do they comprehend easily? Look for
    evidence of their thinking skills.
    3. Where there opportunities for problem solving? Describe how did they show
    problem solving abilities

    Learners Development Matrix


    Record the data you gathered about the learners characteristics and needs in this
    matrix. This will allow you to compare the characteristics and needs of learners at

    different levels. The items under each domain are by no means exhaustive. These are just
    sample indicators. You may add other aspects which you may have observed.

    They listen to their

    They talk to their
    classmates in a nice way
    but somehow they say
    bad words and it is not a
    good habit.
    They let the teacher on
    what he/she say and for
    them it is correct.

    Your Analysis

    Some students are


    actively participating in
    the class.
    They can think of an
    answer on what their
    teacher is asking but
    they have difficulties on
    how they deliver their
    ideas.

    Write the most salient developmental characteristics of the learners you observed.
    Based on these child characteristics, think of implications for the teacher.
    Example:

    Level

    Salient Characteristics
    Observed

    Preschool
    Age Range of Learners observed
    3-4

    Preschoolers like to move


    around a lot.

    Implications to the
    Teaching-Learning
    Process

    Level
    Preschool
    Age Range of Learners
    observed _____

    Elementary
    Age Range of Learners
    observed _____

    Salient Characteristics
    Observed

    Therefore, the teacher


    should remember to use
    music and movement
    activities not just in PE but
    in all subject areas.
    Therefore, teachers should
    not expect pre-schoolers to
    stay seated for a long period
    of time.

    Implications to the TeachingLearning Process

    High School
    Age Range of Learners
    observed 14-15

    They are not noisy when it


    comes to recitation because
    they are afraid to be called by
    the teacher to answer some
    questions.

    Therefore, teachers should not expect that


    his/her students will raise their hands to
    answer his/her question.

    Your Reflections
    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?
    Yes, I recall my past experience when I was in high school. I imagine myself
    quietly listening to my teacher while he/she discussing our lesson. And when it
    comes to recitation most of the time I raise my hands to answer but somehow I
    quietly listen to my classmates on what they are saying.
    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?
    My former adviser when I was Grade 5 student, she builds my confidence because
    back when I grade 5, Im afraid of doing some things because my instinct my
    work is not okay and it will fail. She helps me to improve myself, my language
    proficiency, my skills, etc. She didnt leave me when I need a family to lean on,
    she support me in every competitions that I join. And here I am taking a BSEDMathematics to prove that I can do more things in life.
    3. Which is your favourite theory of development? How can this guide you as a
    future
    teacher?
    Social Influences on Learning because it is more effective to use in your students
    to have a interaction with you as a teacher and they have interaction with their
    classmates and sharing their thoughts and have a good relationship in your
    classroom.
    4. Share
    your
    other
    insights
    here.
    As a teacher, I need to be approachable and available in all times inside or outside
    the school campus. Be aware of what your students problems and help them to
    resolve it. Available to lean on to cheer up your students.
