School: Talave Elementary School Grade/Year Level: Grade 5
Subject Area: English & MAPEH Date: October 21, 2021
OBSERVE
Observe and use the observation sheet provided for you to document your
observations.
1. As you observed the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note
their ages.
As I have observed the grade 5 learners whose age ranges from 10-11,
their age do not vary in terms of their behavior and characteristics. I witnessed
that there are some students who are very participative and cooperative in the
class wherein they are willing and interested to learn. These students are the
one who contributed not only for the sake to have knowledge, but they are also
contributed for the progress of the school. However, there are also some
students who do not involve themselves in class discussion wherein they are
conversing with their seatmates.
2. How many boys are there? How many girls?
The total number of students in the class is 40 wherein the number of girls is
greater than the number of boys. There are 21 girls and 20 boys.
3. Focus on the behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
In terms of their behavior, some of them can handle it on their own by
showing total self-discipline especially when it comes to class discussion but
there are also students who like to wait for their teacher to remind them to stop
what they’re doing which could destruct the attention of their classmates.
4. Can the learners already work independently?
They can handle and finished the task independently if it is only self-clarifying
but some of them can no longer worked all by themselves when it comes to a serious
type of task which needs the guidance and helped of others.
5. Describe their span of attention.
On the other hand, the attention span of half of the class are wide enough just
as patience on working with their assignment as well as when the teacher is having
class discussion but those students who are seated at the back needs proper guidance
and attention in order to focus on their tasks and studies.
ANALYZE
Analyze and answer these questions on observed classroom management practices.
It is also good to ask the teacher for additional information, so you can validate your
observation. Write your notes below; and then organize your data in the Table that follows.
1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids,
books, students' belongings, supplies, etc.) Describe these areas. Will it make a
difference if these areas for specific purposes are not present?
Based on my observation, there are specific areas in the classroom for specific
purposes such as cabinets wherein it contains the different laboratory
apparatus for their science experiments. An example of their experiment is
bread that is placed inside a tupperware that they are waiting to be rotten.
There are also shelves containing their different educational activities such as
teaching aids and IM's which are placed on the teacher's table and is very
accessible whenever the teacher needs it for her discussion. Another one is the
books which are placed at the back corner of the classroom. They used to call it
as a mini library. It is used by the teacher and students as their reference
whenever they have something to search for information. All of the areas in the
classroom are needed to make the teaching and learning become effective,
concise and meaningful.
2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these rules
reinforce positive behavior?
There are rules and regulations that are properly posted in their classroom
such as no bullying, policy of honesty and a general rules guiding the students to
make the room clean and neat. These mentioned classroom rules and
procedures are reinforcing positive behavior.
3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If the Resource Teacher
is available, ask him/her to describe the process. What's the effect of students'
participation in rule-making on student's behavior?
In terms of following the rules, of course the students participated in making their
home room rules because they are the one involved with this practice in a way that
they follow all the rules and procedures that their teacher wants them to do. For
instance, if they enter the classroom, they must be neat and tidy as well as the
school I.D must properly wear all the time. The effect of student’s participation in
rule-making on their behavior is that they will become a responsible student.
4. What are the daily routines done by the teacher? (prayer, attendance, assignment of
monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?
The teacher has daily routines before they start the day. They start the
discussion with a prayer and then let the students to pick up the pieces of
garbage under their chairs. After that, they have warm-up activities to be able
to let their mind and body energized. The teacher then monitors the attendance
in the morning and also in the afternoon. The teacher also checks the
assignment first or submitted if there is.
5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this help
in managing the class?
The seating arrangement is in the basis of alternation process (boy and girl).
The reason for this arrangement is to let the students be able to socialize well to
their opposite sex. And at the same time, this kind of arrangement helps the
teacher to determine each of them whenever she wants their attention.
7. If a learner is not following instructions or is off-task, what does the teacher do?
Describe the behavior strategies.
If a learner does not follow instructions given to him or her, the teacher
provides a disciplinary action wherein the teacher will asks nicely why he or she
did not follow and will make the student realize that he or she should follow.
Positive discipline leaves good childhood memories with the learners as they
grow, rather than the negative connotations or psychological damage that can be left
on children’s minds if they are reprimanded harshly, especially in the case of
corporal punishment.
ACTIVITY 5.2
Identifying the Different Aspects of Classroom
Management
OBSERVE
2. What should the teacher have in mind when he/she designs the classroom
organization and routines? What theories and principles should you have in
mind?
The teacher should have in mind about the size of the classroom and the amount of
things they want to put in the classroom as there must be enough room to safely store
everything so that children are at a lower risk of hurting themselves as well as to have
favorable learning condition, smooth transition during class, and to easily locate the
materials needed.
The teacher should also consider how cluttered the classroom is as some studies have
shown that children cannot work properly in a cluttered room. And if there is
something happened, they should always stay alert in every situation and be able to
adjust or respond positively within the class. The routines should also be simple and
easy to follow and incase the class has a cover teacher, they should also leave suitable
amounts of time for each activity. In addition, the teacher must also prepare ice
breakers so that the students will not get bored in the discussion and will retain the
interest in studying.
I think the theory of Skinner S-R is capable effects of theory of behaviorism on students
when it comes to routine designing. When routines are designed to be a habit in class
then the law of exercise should be practiced combined with Pavlov's Higher-Order
Conditioning, where the teacher can use different kinds of neutral stimulus to become
the conditioned stimulus for the students. Added the positive reinforcement from the
findings of Skinner like feedbacks or verbal praises, then the teacher's routine design
will be a very effective one.
I want to consider the routines that emphasize the child’s behavior and build their
character in group works, socialization and activities. For me, motivation is
important before proceeding to the proper discussion because this will easily
catch their interest as they are slowly going to the subject matter in a way that
they will not feel drowsy but instead they will enjoy the lesson actively. I believe
that this kind of approach can help in promoting good working relations in
children and proper manners inside the class which can result for better learning.
2. Make a list of the rules are likely to implement in this level. Why would you
choose these rules?
These are the following rules that I would like to implement in my classroom as
soon as I become a Teacher:
I choose these set of rules so that the students will observe cleanliness and being
orderly within themselves. This will also help them to become aware about the
basic do's and don'ts that are common in a certain class and be able to be a
responsible of their own being. They must understand that all of this are serve as
a guiding principle that cleanliness, respect and acceptance is a major component
for an effective and friendly school environment. It is also vital to promote good
manners to the children because most of them have the capacity that they will
carry this kind of behavior for the rest of their lives and it will nurture them as a
good citizen of the school and community if they will continue this as they grow
which I hope they will.
A. “Those who were noisy today during seatwork will not be allowed to play
games in the computer later.”
B. “If it takes you longer to finish the seatworkn because time is wasted with
chatting, then we won’t have time to go to the playground anymore.”
C. “Those who are well-behaved in class will be given plus 5 points in the quiz.”
D. “If you get a grade of 95 or higher in the first two assignments, you will be
exempted from the 3rd assignment.”
