My Map
The learners’ individual differences and the type of interaction they bring surely
affect the quality of teaching and learning. This episode is about observing and gathering
data to find out how student diversity affects learning.
My Tools
Use the activity form provided for you to document your observations.
The section where I was assigned had 26 males and 21 females. Meanwhile, there
are 27 students who were in the bracket of 16-1 8years old; 16 students were in the
bracket of 19-20 and 3 were on their 20’s and up. The students were mostly
Catholics but there are some who belong to other religious sectors.
During class:
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how many students
interact with one another and with the teacher. Are they groups that interact more
with the teacher than others?
The classroom, since it is in the lower section, few were interacting with their
teachers. Base on my observation, the students who were sitting at the front were
mostly interacting with their teacher. Unlikely, the students sitting at the back
were busy talking with each other. The students at the back created disturbances
to the both teacher and interested learners.
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they
behave and interact differently?
The students sitting at the back were quietly talkative unlike to the students at the
front. The students at the front behave well but at the back, learners tend to talk
with their seatmates than to cooperate with their class activity.
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with or
compete against each other?
The learners had different groups when it comes to interaction. You cannot see
Cooperation with them, but there was some competitions just like when they
checked their papers during their examination.
4. Which students participate actively? Which students ask for most help?
FS 1 [THE LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT]
The students who participate actively are the students who were at the front seat.
While the students who ask help most are the students sitting at the back or
just beyond the corner.
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?
Yes, if the student who was someone called cannot answer the question, the
other students are raising their hands to reinforce the unanswered problem.
Outside class:
As the students went out from the room after the class , they group their selves
according to their gender. The boys went to the canteen while the girls were
just spend their time sitting at the hut just few meters from the room.
2. Describe how the learners interact with each other. What do they talk about?
The learners interact with each other with their own topic not related to the
discussion. Just like as what I have observed before there are some students who
tend to talk about their classmate who cannot answer the question that the
teacher had given.
FS 1 [THE LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT]
OBSERVATION REPORT
On gender, the girls will tend to group with girls and boys
will tend to group with boys. The interaction is being affected
with these kinds of aspects as all of us has differences on every
individual.

My Analysis
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationship and interactions 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 doubter/ pessimist?
The teacher stands as the moderator of the classroom, thus he is in-charge of all
the wrongful affairs involved within its extent. As the class begun when we
were on the classroom, there are a lot of phases that had catch my attention. At the
back, there are some attention seekers and the jokers. While some were in noise at
the back, there are also some who stand as leader as they led the group activity that
was given to them.
2. Are students coming from the minority group accepted or rejected by the others?
How is this shown?
Yes. Just like the weak girl that I have seen who I think has inadequate financial
support. She was ridiculed when she has no assignment to pass. That was the reason
why I was touched because she just kept herself calm and ignore all the teases.
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual
differences of the students?
The teacher can influence the class interaction considering the individual
differences by being aware to what she was saying not to hurt individuals social,
religious and personal inclination.
Because of similar stage of development, the learners tend to have the same social
inclination. If the students will choose to play computer games outside, surely the
other students who has the same age with them will also follow.

My Reflection
1. How did you feel being in the classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity
among the learners and between the teacher and the learners?
I saw the oneness of the individual; oneness when it comes in their groupings. There
is oneness if you can base it according to their groupings, but you base it to the
whole class, there is none.
2. In the future, how would you want the learners in your classroom to interact? How
will you make this happen?
I want the learners to interact according to what their lesson is all about. I want them
to be more reliant when it comes in discussing an idea. My encouragement will put
them to be a better person. Thus it is my duty to pursue them to be a good model
among their schoolmates.
My Portfolio
Post a collection of quotation for celebrating diversity in the classroom. Using these
quotations, explain how will encourage all learners, regardless of religious, ethic, or racial
background to interact and participate well.
