Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : The School Environment
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. determine the characteristics of a school environment that is safe, secure
and is supportive of learning
Introduction :

This module provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school
environment that promotes learning and development.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent practices that:
 keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
 maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
 address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students.
2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning environment.
They help in building and establishing the school culture. These boards become one way for
everyone to learn about the vision-mission, goals, and values that the school upholds.
3. As a basic part of the school's visual environment, display boards have four general purposes:
 Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social
and psychological atmosphere of the school.
 Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence.
An example would be the display of students' outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners' growth and
progress.
 Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
 Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through interactive
displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learning.
 The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and
durability.

LEARNING MODULE No. 2

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Learner Diversity: Characteristics, Needs and Interests
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. describe the characteristics, needs and interests of learners from
different developmental levels.

Introduction :
This module provides an opportunity to observe learners of different ages and grade levels. It
highlights the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future teacher, it is important to
determine the learners' characteristics and needs to be able to plan and implement learning activities
and assessment that are all developmentally appropriate.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are major principles of development relevant to this Module:

1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as from the head to
the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards (proximodistal)

2. Development takes place gradually

3. All domains of development and learning-physical, social and emotional, and cognitive are important,
and they are closely interrelated. (NAEYC, 2009)

4. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or representational

capabilities. (NAEYC, 2009)

and performance in school. One will also analyze and reflect on practices that teachers use in
leveraging diversity in the classroom. It also provides an opportunity to observe how differences in
abilities affect interaction in school and learn about strategies that teachers use in addressing the
learners’ needs toward effective teaching and learning.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are principles and concepts relevant to this episode:

1. Principles of Development
a. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as at uneven
rates across different areas of the child’s functioning. (NAEYC 2019)
b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to achieve at a
level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they have many opportunities
to practice newly acquired skills.
c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match the learning
content, activities and assessment to the different characteristics, abilities, interests, and
needs of the learners.

2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners:
a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences
b. Learners’ linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents
d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation, chronic
illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or disasters, child abuse and
child labor.

Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors mentioned affect
learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They remember that the learners
respond and perform at different levels. The teachers assure the students that their gender identity,
culture and religion are respected, their strengths are recognized, and their needs will be met.
These teachers declare to all that everyone has the chance to learn and succeed. They create a
learning community where everyone can work together and contribute regardless of their abilities,
capacities and circumstances.

Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:

 use strategies to build a caring community in the classroom
 model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions
 bring each of the student’s home culture and language into the shared culture of the
school
 provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition

3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples

A young teacher’s approach to indigenous peoples starts with a keen awareness of
one’s own identity, including one’s beliefs and cultural practices. Through serious reflection one
may realize that the self is a product of all the influences of key people in one’s life and the
community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous groups carry with them their
beliefs, views and cultural practices. One’s attitude needs to be that of openness and respect.
Come in not with the view that one’s own culture is superior, we approach with the sincere
willingness and deep interest to know and understand the indigenous peoples’ culture. We aim
to make teaching-learning facilitative rather than imposing.
a. From your professional education subjects/courses, most likely you have discussed
indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country has about 110 ethno-
linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao, some in Northern Luzon and fewer in
the Visayas. (UNDP Philippines, 2010). They represent about 10-20% of our total
population. There are two big indigenous peoples groups which have several smaller ethnic
groups within them, the non-muslim groups called the Lumads in Mindanao, and the
Igorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have the Badjaos, Ati and Tumandok,
Mangyans, and Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act, recognizes and protects
the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and indigenous peoples (IP). Our country
was admired by other nations for enacting this law. However, years later, so much still has
to be done to improve the lives of millions of people from indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina
and Asis, 2017)
c. Guided by RA 8371, in 2015 DepEd issued DO 32, s. 2015, Adopting the Indigenous
Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework. Most useful for you as a future
teacher to remember are the 5 Key Elements of an Indigenous Peoples Education
Curriculum (DO 32, d. 215 enclosure, pp..15-18):
1. Curriculum Design, Competencies and Content. Interfacing the national curriculum
with Indigenous Knowledge systems and practices (IKSPs) and Inigenous Learning
systems (ILS) the design of a culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum has the
following features:

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

33
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community’s world view,
and its indigenous cultural institutions.
b. Includes and respects the community’s expression of spirituality as part of the
curriculum context.
c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity.
d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengthens, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and indigenous
languages.
e. Emphasizes, competencies that are needed to support the development and
protection of the ancestral domain, the vitality of their culture, and the advancement
of indigenous peoples’ rights and welfare.
f. Supports the community’s efforts to discern new concepts that will contribute to the
community’s cultural integrity while enabling meaningful relations with the broader
society.
2. Teaching Methodologies and Strategies. A culturally appropriate and responsive
curriculum employs teaching methodologies and strategies that strengthen, enrich, and
complement the community’s indigenous teaching-learning process.
3. Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum
recognizes that the ancestral domain where IKSPs are experienced, lived, and learned
is the primary learning environment and learning space of indigenous learners.
4. Learning Resources. Instructional materials and other learning resources shall be
developed and utilized in line with the described curriculum content and teaching-
learning processes.
5. Classroom Assessment. Assessment shall be done utilizing tools appropriate to the
standards, competencies, skills, and concepts being covered. Their design and use shall
address the needs and concerns of the community and shall be developed with their
participation.

LEARNING MODULE No. 4

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Learner Diversity: The Community and Home Environment
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect
the students’ learning;
b. seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with
parents/guardians and the wider community (6.2.1); and
c. identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with
the family.

Introduction :
This module provides opportunities for you to have a more in-depth look into the factors that
affect the development of a learner. Focus will be on the early experiences and characteristics of the
learner as described by the family and other significant others. You will also focus how the teacher links
with the community to maximize the learning and development of students.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of layers of
relationship systems that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are:

Microsystem – Mesosystem – Exosystem – the Macrosystem – Chronosystem –

includes the the connection bigger social Outermost layer the element of
structure such as between the system which which includes time patterns of
one’s family, structures in the includes the city cultural values, stability and
school and microsystem government, the customs and laws pacing of the
neighborhood workplace and child’s everyday
the mass media life.

The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner’s environment to understand
his behavior. The teacher’s important role is not to replace what is missing at home (if any), but to work
so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and nurtures families. The teacher works
to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring out the best in every learner.

2. Baumrind’s Parenting Styles

Authoritarian. Parents are very firm with their children and expect unwavering and unquestioning
obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection,
physical punishment or threats.
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be warm and
caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither demanding nor responsive
to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or guidance.

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

55
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have clear and reasonable
expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with respect and warmth. Make children
understand consequence of their behavior.

Children of:

Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile and aggressive.
They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are often impulsive,
aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of independence and responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be the least competent in their over-all functioning
and adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater ability to show self-
control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Creating an Appropriate Learning Environment
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. plan on how to manage time, space, and resources; and
b. provide a learning environment appropriate to the learners and

Introduction :

This module provides an opportunity to examine how classrooms are structured or designed to
allow everyone’s maximum participation for effective learning. This Module enhances the application
of the theories learned in the following professional subject such as Facilitating Learner-Centered
Teaching and the Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

The classroom climate that is conducive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet business-
like. It is a classroom where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the following are observed.

 Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear.

 Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
 Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures.
 Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
 Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for such are
communicated.
 Classroom processes are democratic.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers use to
keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive on tasks and academically productive in class.

Ref: edglossary.org
Importance of effective Classroom Management
 increases chance of student success
 paves the way for the teacher to engage students in learning
 helps create an organized classroom environment
 increases instructional time
 creates consistency in the employment of rules and regulations
 aligns management strategies with school wide standards
 decreases misbehavior in the classroom
 gives student boundaries as well as consequences

Ref: http://www.ehow.com
Two aspects of Classroom Management
1. Personal Classroom Management consists of managing your own self to ensure order and
discipline in your class. It includes:
1.1 voice
1.2 personal grooming
1.3 attendance

LEARNING MODULE No. 8

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Close Encounter with the School Curriculum
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting;
b. describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by
planning, implementing lessons through different strategies and
assessment of learning outcomes; and
c. analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to
teaching strategies and assessment.
Introduction :
Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to design total learning
activities appropriate for each learner in each grade level. Thus schools have recommended curriculum
which is the enhanced K to 12 curriculums. The recommended curriculum was stated into written
curriculum like books, modules, teachers’ guides and lesson plans which are the basis of the taught
curriculum. A teacher who implements the curricula needs support materials (support curriculum) to
enhance teaching and learning so that the written and the taught curricula can be assessed (assessed
curriculum) in orders to determine if learning took place (learned curriculum). However, there are so
many activities that happen in schools but are not deliberately planned. This refers to the hidden
curriculum.

A classroom teacher plans, implements and evaluates school learning activities by preparing a
miniscule curriculum called a lesson plan or a learning plan. The teacher then puts life to a lesson plan
by using it as a guide in the teaching-learning process where different strategies can be used to achieve
the learning objectives or outcomes. There are many styles of writing a lesson plan, but the necessary
parts or elements such as (a) Learning Outcomes (b) Subject Matter (c) Teaching – Learning
Strategies, and (d) Evaluation or Assessment should always be included.

All of these elements should be aligned so that at the end of the teaching-learning module,
learning will be achieved with the classroom teacher as a guide.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

School Curriculum: what is this about?

From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and outcomes as
in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such definition of total learning
outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called school. Schools are formal institutions of
learning where the two major stakeholders are the learners and the teachers.

Basic education in the Philippines is under the Department of Education or DepEd and the
recommended curriculum is the K-12 or Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic
education schools offering kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10,
Junior High School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.

What are the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It is a curriculum
that:

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

93
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of contextualized lessons and addition
of issues like disaster preparedness, climate change and information and communication
technology (ICT) are included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and values,
attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject.
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main language in studying and
learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will become ready for higher level skills.
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a spiral progression
where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they study the complex ones in the next
grade level. The progression of topics matches with the developmental and cognitive skills. This
process strengthens the mastery and retention.
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education in Grade 12 will be
ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of careers will be defined when they go to
Grade 11 and 12.
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduates the learner will be ready to
embark on different career paths for a lifetime.

You will recall that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in the
country.
 The enhanced curriculum K to 12 curriculum is the Recommendation Curriculum. It is to
be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.
 When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency standards of the K
to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects the substance of RA 10533 or
the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the teacher’s class it is the lesson plan. A
lesson plan is a written curriculum in miniscule.
 What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life to the written
curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The guidance of the teacher is
very crucial.
 A curriculum that has planned, and taught needs materials, objects, gadgets, laboratory and
many more that will help the teacher implement the curriculum. This is referred to as the
Supported Curriculum.
 In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the lesson plan, an
assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the lesson. The curriculum
is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
 The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned Curriculum. Learned
curriculum whether small or big indicates accomplishment of learning outcomes.
 However, there are unplanned curriculums in schools. These are not written, nor deliberately
taught but they influence learning. These include peer influence, the media, school
environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and many more. This curriculum is
called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.

So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school curriculum,
specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic education?

Teachers then should be multi-talented professionals who:

 know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
 write the curriculum to be taught;
 plan the curriculum to be implemented;
 initiate the curriculum which is being introduced;
 innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;
 implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
 evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

LEARNING MODULE No. 9

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Preparing for Teaching and Learning
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the
principles of teaching learning;
b. determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning
outcomes applied in instruction;
c. judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;
d. determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are
achieved at the end of the lesson;
e. observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher; and
f. differentiate the different methods of teaching.

Introduction :
This module gives emphasis on the principles of learning which must be applied to ensure
quality instruction. It also focuses on the intended learning outcomes which set the direction of the
lesson. They must be (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound and
formulated in accordance with time-tested principles. It also determines the teaching method used by
the Resource Teacher whether (inductive or deductive) which is the practical realization or application
of an approach. This module dovetails with the course on Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning:

1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes.
2. Learning is an active process. “What I hear, I forgot; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand.”
3. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the opportunity
to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with real world experiences and with
their own lives.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.

A teaching method consists of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-learning process. Ot is
the practical realization or application of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified either
as deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

DEDUCTIVE INDUCTIVE

LEARNING MODULE No. 10

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : The Instructional Cycle
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and
use of teaching strategies.
b. determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance
with outcome-based teaching and learning.
c. identify the Resource Teacher’s questioning and reacting techniques.
d. outline a lesson in accordance with outcome based teaching-
learning.

Introduction :

This module centers on the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods. It
will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and teacher education
curriculum are focused on outcomes, standards and competencies. This means that lessons must be
delivered with focus on outcomes. Likewise, this Module dwells on types of questions, questioning and
reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of questions that teachers ask and their
manner of questioning and reacting to student responses has a bearing on class interaction. This
Module strengthens the theories learned in the course, Teaching Methods and Strategies and in other
professional subjects in Education.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective that teaching isolated bits of information.

Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the Department of
Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its K to 12 Curriculum Guide.
The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has been ahead of DepEd and the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of Competency Standards-Based teaching
and Assessment. CHED requires all higher education institutions in the country to go outcome-based
education (OBE) in its CHED Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE
applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to competency-based and standards-based
teaching and learning in the Kto12 Curriculum.

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

115
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

When you apply OBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in turn the
Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In order words, in OBTL
you first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives). Then you determine which
teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and also the assessment tasks (ATs) you will have to use to find out
if you attained your ILO’s.

In lesson planning, the ILOs are our lesson objectives, the TLA’s are the activities we use to teach
and the AT’s are the evaluation part.

OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly mew. With mastery learning of Benjamin
Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE

Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the art of questioning
and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instruction.

These are the types of questions that teachers ask.

Types of Questions that Teacher Ask

1. Factual /Convergent/Closed /Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions With one
acceptable answer.
2. Divergent /Open-ended/High-level /Higher- Open-ended; has more than one acceptable
order /Conceptual answer.
a. evaluation
b. inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked it up,
she was all smiles. What can you infer about
Liz?
c. comparison
d. application
e. problem-solving
3. Affective e.g. How do you feel?

These are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:

1. Providing acceptance feedback

2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer / expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers Version 3 (ICT CFT V3, 2018)

The Information and Communications Technology Competency Framework for Teachers (ICT
CFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers’ development on the effective and
appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should know and do clustered in six
aspects, namely; 1. Understanding ICT in Education, 2. Curriculum and Assessment, 3. Pedagogy, 4.
Application of Digital Skills, 5. Organization and administration, and 6. Teacher Professional Learning.

Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide teachers
as they develop their ICT skills from level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level 2, Knowledge Deepening,
and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission on Higher Education Teacher Education Curricula
(2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most likely you have tackled this is your Technology for
Teaching and Learning classes.

It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this module. The
activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect about the competencies discussed in

The Learning Resource Center

1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the teaching-learning
process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved. Some of the names are
Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource Center, Teaching-Learning Technology
Department, or Simply Learning Resource Center.
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcome was the ever-expanding interface
between the traditional library and ICT both in terms of hardware and software systems and
applications.
3. Schools may have different set-ups when it comes to a Learning Resource Center (LRC). Some
have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a separate library, LRC, and Audio Visual
or Media Center. Some only have the LRC both for teachers and students. Still some have
combined their learning resource centers with maker spaces.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio-visual and ICT resources
to support the teaching-learning process.
5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use of audiovisual
and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in producing instructional
materials, making available useful resources to the students, teachers, and the school
community.
6. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must fulfill the following
functions: center of resources, laboratory of learning, agent of teaching, service agency,
coordinating agency, recreational reading center, and a link to other community resources.

Technology Integration

The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for you to define
and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you in the process of
achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher’s integration of technology in institution can
be described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adaptation, infusion and finally transformation.

The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and enables quality
technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the learning environment are being active,
collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed.

The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Levels of Technology Integration and the
Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To make you understand how
integration is done in each of the levels and environment, explore the TIM website and learn from the
many interesting videos showing technology integration. Go to http://fcit.usf.edu/matrix/matrix.php

Evaluation of ICT Resources

The World Wide Web is like an endless network of information, ever-expanding and
almost limitless. Electronic resources come in different forms like websites, webquests, blogs,
social network sites, on-line courses, a wide range of tools, and so many forms of apps.

As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be most useful for you is the ability not only
to search for information but to make decisions, as to which ones you will take and use and
which ones you will put aside. Aim to develop your skills in evaluating internet resources. You
will be able to choose the best resources that will help you attain your teaching-learning
objectives.

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

Below is a set of criteria which you can use to evaluate resources:

1. Accuracy. The resource material comes from a reliable source and is accurate, free from error
and is up-to-date.
2. Appropriateness. The resource is grade/level-appropriate. The content matches what is
needed by the teacher.
3. Clarity. The resource clearly addresses the instructional goals in mind.
4. Completeness. The content is complete. It has all the information needed to be able to use
them.
5. Motivation. The resource is engaging and rewarding to learners. It will encourage the active
participation of the learners.
6. Organization. The resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which steps should be
taken. The procedures or processed flow smoothly.

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented speed at which
technology is evolving has disrupted many vital processes that involve how we run production,
businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The following Technology trends have huge
potential to transform the ways we teach and learn (UNESCO, 2018):

1. Open Educational Resources (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for teaching and
learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is an abundance of
OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps, streaming videos, multimedia
apps, podcasts, and many others. They can have a significant impact on education as they are
made available and easily accessible in the internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work
on this module.
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact, learn about things
and share information. Sites and apps such as Facebook, twitter, Instagram provide a virtual
venue for teachers and learners to work together interact among themselves and with other
classrooms locally and globally.
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also one who
sends the most number of text messages per day. This indicates the high number of mobile
device users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool by allowing teachers and
students more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. IoT is a system of computing mechanisms that become built-in into
many everyday things that allow sending and receiving data through the internet. A lot of things
have turned “smart.” We have smart cars that can navigate on its own. Smart houses that
monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface with the internet. Watches that send our
vital signs to our doctors. All of these developments can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when computers or
machine simulate thinking and behaviors of humans such as talking, learning and solving
problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google assistant are near samples

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

126
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

of AI. Among others, uses of AI in education can be in the areas of gamification and adaptive
instruction for learners with special needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by a computer
program that allows a person to visit and experience the environment virtually. In AR, images
from computer programs interlay with the actual views of the real-word, resulting in an extended,
expanded, or altered view of a real-world environment. In education, among others, VR and AR
programs and apps allow more exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that add to the
motivation and engagement of learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transactions are done electronically, and
through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and stored. The challenge is
how to make sense of this data. Through analytics and research, possibly answer pertinent
questions about how to make teaching and learning most effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites. Today,
there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as kindergarten. Robotics
programs in the elementary and secondary programs introduce and hone the skills of young
learners. Coding helps learners develop novel ways of exploring and trying out ideas, especially
when done with problem or project-based learning approaches.
9. Ethics and private protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly technology is
changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, it is crucial to ensure that human values and
principles govern or guide our use of technology. Ethical practices that protect the rights of every
person need to be upheld.

LEARNING MODULE No. 12

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Assessment FOR Learning and Assessment AS Learning (Formative
Assessment)
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of formative
assessment; and
b. explain the importance of formative assessment..

Introduction :

Assessment is an essential part of the instructional cycle. The instructional cycle consists of: 1)
setting the intended learning outcome/s, 2) selecting a teacher methodology, strategy and activity that
are aligned to the learning outcome and topic which are developmentally-appropriate to the learners
and 3) assessment itself. Assessment is the part of the instructional cycle that determines whether or
not the intended learning outcome has been attained and so necessarily, the assessment task must be
aligned to the intended learning outcome.

In a lesson on assessment, we can speak of assessment for learning, assessment of learning

and assessment as learning.

This module will dwell on assessment for learning and assessment as learning. Assessment for
learning is referred to as formative assessment while assessment as learning is referred to as self-
assessment.

DISCOVER the Learning Essentials

 In Outcome-based Teaching-Learning/ Competency-based Teaching/Teaching by

Objective, we ensure that the intended outcome/competency/objective is attained at the end
of the lesson and so while we are still in the process of teaching we do check learner’s
understanding and progress.
 If we find out that learners failed to understand prerequisite knowledge and skills, we reteach
until learners’ master them. This is called FORMATIVE assessment, assessment while the
learners are being formed or taught. It is assessment in the midst of instruction.
 Formative assessment is also referred to as assessment for learning. Assessment for
learning simply means we do assessment to ensure learning.
 We do not wait for the end of the lesson to find out if learners understood the lesson or not
because if it is only at the end of the lesson that we discover that the learners did not
understand the lesson, we have wasted so much time and energy teaching presuming that
everything was clear, only to find out at the end of the lesson that the learners did not
understand the lesson at all. This means that we have to reteach from the very beginning,
something that we could have saved ourselves from doing had we given time to find out if
the lesson was understood while still teaching.
 Assessment for learning encourages peer assessment.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Module, student must be able to:

 demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of self-assessment; and
 explain the importance of self-assessment.

REVISIT The Learning Essentials

 Assessment as learning means assessment is a way of learning.

 It is the use of an ongoing self-assessment by the learners in order to monitor their own
learning.
 This is manifested when learners reflect on their own learning and make necessary
adjustments so that they achieve deeper understanding.
 Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning.
 It requires students to ask questions about their learning.
 It provides ways for students to use formal and informal feedback and self-assessment to
help them understand the next steps in learning.
 It encourages self-assessment and reflection.

OBSERVE

Observe a class and find out practices that reflect assessment as learning. Record your
observations.

Teacher My Observation
1. Did teacher provide opportunities for the
learners to monitor and reflect on their own
learning?

2. What are proofs that students were engaged

in self-reflection, self-monitoring and self-
adjustment?

3. Did students record and report their own

learning?

Introduction :

Module no. 12 dwelt on Assessment for Learning (formative assessment) and Assessment as
Learning (self-assessment). These refer to assessment that teachers do while still teaching and
students’ assessing their own learning. Module no. 13 will be focused on Assessment of Learning.
When teachers have done everything they can to help learners attain the intended learning outcome/s,
teachers subject their students to assessment for grading purposes. This is referred to as assessment
of learning which also known as summative assessment is.

Module no. 13 will be focused on 1) assessment of learning in the cognitive, psychomotor and
affective domains with the use of traditional and non-traditional assessment tasks and tools, 2)
assessment of learning outcomes in the different levels of cognitive taxonomy; 3) construction of
assessment items with content validity; 4) Table of Specifications; 5) Portfolio, 6) Scoring Rubrics, 6)
The K to 12 Grading System and 7) Reporting Students’ Performance.

Activity 13.2 Observing the Use of Traditional Assessment Tools

Resource Teacher: Teacher's Signature:

School: Grade/Year Level:
Subject Area: Date:

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 Critique traditional assessment tools and tasks for learning in the context of established
guidelines on test construction

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

 Traditional assessment tools are also called paper-and-pencil tests.

 Traditional assessment tools usually measure learning in the cognitive domain.
 Traditional or paper-and-pencil tests can be classified either as selected-response tests or
constructed-response/supply type of tests.
 Common examples of selected –response type of tests are alternate response test (True-False,
yes-no), multiple choice and matching type of test.
 Common examples of constructed-response type of test are short answer, problem solving and
essay.

OBSERVE

 Observe classes and pay particular attention to the assessment tool used by the teacher.
 With teacher’s permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.

Direction: put a check () on the test which teacher used. From your teacher’s test items, give an

Resource Teacher: Teacher's Signature:

School: Grade/Year Level:
Subject Area: Date:

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 Evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

 There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools.
 Authentic/non-traditional / alternative assessment tools measure learning outcomes like
performance and product.
 These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric.
 A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student’s work that includes descriptions of levels of
performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013)
 The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.
 There are two types of rubrics – analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each
criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole.
 For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
 For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.
 A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is rated,
the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance.

OBSERVE

 Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the assessment
tool used by the teacher.
 With teacher’s permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.
 Study the assessment tool then accomplish Observation Sheet.
 Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?
 Which type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use – analytic or holistic?

Activity 13.4 Scrutinizing the Types and Parts of a Portfolio

Resource Teacher: Teacher's Signature:

School: Grade/Year Level:
Subject Area: Date:

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

 Evaluate a sample portfolio

 Distinguish among the 3 types of portfolio

DISCOVER the Learning Essentials

 A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work

accompanied by clear criteria for performance which prove student effort, progress or
achievement in a given area or course.
 A portfolio of student’s work is a direct evidence of learning. But it is not a mere collection of
student’s work. The student’s reflection must accompany each output or work.
 A portfolio is different from a work folder, which is simply a receptacle for all work, with no
purpose to the collection. A portfolio is an intentional collection of work guided by learning
objectives.
 Effective portfolio systems are characterized by a clear picture of the student skills to be
addressed, student involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio, use of criteria to define
quality performance as a basis for communication, and self-reflection through which students
share what they think and feel about their work, their learning and about themselves.
 There are several types of portfolio depending on purpose. They are: 1) development or growth
portfolio, 2) best work or showcase or display portfolio, and 3) assessment / evaluation portfolio.

OBSERVE

1. Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio, if any. If there are, select one best portfolio
from what you examined.\
2. If none, research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts.
3. Based on the sample portfolio given by your Resource Teacher/researched by you, accomplish
Observation Sheet #.
4. Put a check in the right column.

Introduction :

What is really like to be a TEACHER? Why is being a TEACHER considered as one of the most
respected professionals in the Philippines? What makes a teacher differently better than any other
profession? What characterize a teacher as a person and as a professional?

This module will provide you a chance to observe teachers in their workplace at school in order
to answer the questions asked.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Essentials

At the end of this Module, students must be able to:

 describe the personal qualities and competences of effective classroom teachers; and
 enumerate the professional characteristics of practicing teachers observed as based on the
professional standards and code of ethics for the profession.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

“My Teacher, My Hero” was a banner during the World Teachers’ Day celebration in the Philippines
in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real heroes? What do you think? Why?

May answer is YES! Here are my reasons.

Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers

To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve the country just
like any other hero. To be a teacher requires a lot of personal and professional qualities. These qualities
make an excellent Filipino teacher an exceptional professional.

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

190
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

First, the teacher must have innate qualities or attributes that are exemplary and are fitted to be
teachers. These are natural tendencies of a person. Here are some of the qualities and attributes that
distinctly characterize a teacher.

Personal Qualities of Teachers and the Descriptors

Personal Qualities What the teacher IS and Does.

 Lives with dignity that  This teacher is honest, has integrity, self-respect and
exemplifies self-respect, integrity self-discipline. Likewise, respected by students, peers
and self-discipline and the community.
 Takes care of one’s physical,  This teacher is physically, emotionally and mentally
emotional and mental well-being healthy. Clean and neat, dresses appropriately and
pleasant in words and in action.
 Lives a life inspired by spiritual  This teacher behaves according to the personal spiritual
principles and beliefs beliefs that are not contrary to the norms, mores and
tradition of the community.
 Exhibits deep knowledge and  This teacher is mentally alert, makes correct decision,
understanding across disciplines intelligent to be able to acquire new knowledge, skills
and values needed in order to teach. She/he has the
ability to learn new things, re-learn old knowledge in
new ways, and un-learn knowledge, skills and values
that are no longer applicable to the current times.
 Recognizes own strength with  This teacher sets high goals for himself/herself, but
humility remains humble and willing to share success. He/she is
confident of doing task but does not consider self to be
better than others all the time.
 Perseveres in challenging  This teacher is calm in the midst of chaos, remains
situation steadfast under pressure, does not easily give up and
adjusts to different situations.
 Demonstrates a natural action to  This teacher volunteers tasks for others, always willing
work together with others to share, extends help willingly, accepts responsibility,
tolerant of other people, and gives up time for the group.
Not everyone has these qualities; hence not everyone can be a good teacher. As the old saying
goes: “Teachers are born but good teachers are both born and made.”

Professional Competences of Filipino Teachers

Going to teacher training institutions and earning a teaching degree mean developing a
professional teacher like you. You can only become a professional teacher if you earn a degree to
teach in either elementary level or high school level. You should also earn a license to teach by passing
a licensure examination for teachers. While studying in college you are learning the ropes of becoming
a professional teacher. You learn the content courses including the major or specialization and the
professional courses including the pedagogy courses. Your professional courses include experiential
learning courses that include Field Study 1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship. These are important
in your preparation to become professional teachers.

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

191
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

So what are the professional competencies that every teacher should have? You will find these
in the matrix that follow.

Professional Competencies of Filipino Teachers

So, it is not easy to become a professional teacher. The demand is great. A qualified
professional teacher then is like a HERO.

Now you are ready to identify if the enumerated characteristics are found among the teachers
you are going to observe.

There are two observation activities in this Module. Activity 1 will identify the Personal

LEARNING MODULE No. 15

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : Towards Teacher Quality: Developing a Global Teacher of the 21st Century
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. describe the personal qualities and competencies of a global
classroom teachers of the 21st century; and
b. design a learner-centered classroom for the 21st century learners with
learning spaces that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT.

Introduction :

Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A Global Teacher of the 21st Century!

In 2013, a Global Status Index was determined by Varkey GEMS Foundation and revealed
significant findings. There were 21 countries surveyed which represented the major continents of the
world. In most countries that participated, it was found out that like the Philippines, teaching is the most
sought profession. It was comparable to being a social worker, librarians, nursing and even doctors.
Majority of the parents asked, answered that they encourage their children to become teachers. To
them, teaching is one of the most respected and trusted professions.

However, with the change in global landscape, the 21st century teachers must have the
competence to address the new learning environment, the new learning contents, the processes of
learning and how these are facilitated and the new types of learners.

Hence, we need the new type of teachers, a global 21st century Filipino teacher.
(Global Teacher Index p. 123 Teaching Profession)

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

FILIPINO GLOBAL TEACHER

A survey of the ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are three major
responsibilities of teachers. These are (1) Actual Teaching. (2) Management of Learning and (3)
Administrative Work.

While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world, in our country,
teaching in the public schools requires sic hours of actual teaching that includes administrative work
such as management of learning per day. The two hours of the working day is allotted to administrative
work such as scoring and recording learner’s outputs, making reports, filling forms, preparing for the
next day’s activity and performing other administrative tasks. The previous module on the teacher,
reminded us of the qualities and competencies mentioned earlier. Teachers should be multi-literate,
multi-cultural, multi-talented, innovative and creative. The future Filipino teacher like you shall act locally
but think globally.

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

201
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

“Teach local, reach global” means that the teacher brings diverse experiences in the classroom
with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global society. What teachers do in the local
communities’ impacts the larger community. As global citizens, the work begins, where the teachers
are, thus a “global” teacher.

Towards Quality Global Teachers

Quality teachers are characterized; by different attributes and skills needed in the 21st century
education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2) Financial, economic, business and
entrepreneurial literacy, and (4) Civic and Health Literacy which require:

1. Learning and Innovative skills.

2. Information, Media and Technology Skills
3. Life and Career Skills

More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can demonstrate exemplary
mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions relative to the following characteristics:

1. Understands one’s own cultural identity and rootedness

2. Knows and integrates global dimensions in the subject area
3. Engages learners in the learning processes
4. Uses real life local and global examples
5. Values the inputs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners
6. Models social responsibilities in local and global content
7. Encourages learners to find appropriate actions to improve local and global the conditions, and
8. Creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations.

The Challenges of the Quality Global Teachers for the 21st Century

One of the major challenges of quality teachers is to “create a learning environment that
encourages creativity and innovation among learners.” With it, comes the management of learning in
such environment. These are required skills for a global teacher.

Majority of the current classrooms provide learning spaces that can hardly prepare the 21st
century learners for the development of the 21st century skills.

Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator of learning.
Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work on interdisciplinary projects that cover
several subject areas. Learning is no longer for memorizing and recalling of information but on learning
how to learn. Thus classroom designs should respond to the 21st century learning. More so, quality
teachers should be changing their roles from teaching in isolation to co-teaching, team teaching and
collaboration with students and peers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the six elements of a new
classroom:

FS 1 – Obsevations of Teaching – Learning in Actual School Environment

202
 LEARNING MODULE SURIGAO STATE COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

1. Flexibility of furniture and space

2. Collaborative learning
3. Facilitation of movement
4. Foster creativity
5. Use of technology
6. Provision of light and bright colors

With the classrooms structure, a quality teacher should be able to manage learning under a very
conducive learning environment. Teacher should use effective classroom management strategies that
will ensure productive learning.

Quality teachers should manage learning in an enhanced classroom by seeing it to it that learners
are:

 organized,
 orderly,
 focused,
 attentive,
 on task, and
 are learning.

This will take much of your skill, experience and patience. The two important factors that may affect
learning management are the use of technology and the diversity of learners.

LEARNING MODULE No. 16

Course Title : Observations of Teaching – Learning In Actual School Environment

Topic : On Teacher’s Philosophy of Education
Time Frame : 1 hour
Objectives : At the end of the class, the students are able to:
a. determine prevailing philosophies of education based on DepEd
Vision and Mission statements, core values and mandate, the K to 12
Curriculum Framework and Guide and RA 10533;
b. cite teacher’s teaching behaviors and the philosophies of education
on which these behaviors are founded; and
c. articulate my philosophy of teaching.

Introduction :

One thing asked of teacher applicants in the Department of Education is to write their philosophy
of education. This means that they have to write their concept of the nature of the learner, how that
learner learns and how that learner ought to live in order to live life meaningfully. Based on these
philosophical concepts, the teacher applicants describe how they ought to relate to the learner, what to
teach and how to teach so that the learner learns and lives life happily and meaningfully.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

We are beneficiaries of a rich philosophical heritage passed on to us by great thinkers of the

past and of the present. The way teachers relate to learners and they teach are anchored on
philosophies of education.

Basic documents such as the vision and mission statements, core values and mandate of the
Department of Education and the features of the K to 12 Curriculum as contained in Section 3 of RA
10533 and the K to 12 Curriculum Guide are manifestations or expressions of the philosophies of
education of the country. They state the standards and the outcomes of education towards which all
curricular activities and teaching-learning should be directed.

schooling is preparing
students for the social
changes; teaching is
involving the students in
discussion of moral

5. Existentialism – Teachers Any proof of existentialism?
teach learners to make a
choice, to make decisions
and not merely to follow the
crowd; one who does not
make a choice and so
simply follow others do not
leave meaningful life.
6. Pragmatism – That which is Any proof of pragmatism?
useful, that which is practical
and that which works is what
is good; that which is
efficient and effective is that
which is good. E.g. showing
a video clip on mitosis is

effective and therefore more
practical than teacher

is that which is most useful
(that which brings
happiness) to the greatest
number of peoples;
9. Empiricism – source of Any proof of empiricism?
knowledge is through the
senses; teacher must
involve the senses in

10. Behaviorism – behavior is Any proof of behaviorism?
shaped deliberately by
forces in the environment
and that the type of person
and actions desired can be
the product of design;

behavior is determined by
others, rather than by
person’s own free will;
teacher must carefully
shape desirable behavior;
drills are commonly used to
enhance learning, rewards
reinforce learning.
11. Constructivism – learners Any proof of constructivism?
are capable of constructing
knowledge and meaning;
teaching – learning
therefore is constructing
knowledge and meaning;
teacher does not just “tell” or
dictate but asks learners for
knowledge they construct
and meaning of lesson.
