FS 1
LEARNING EPISODE

THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

1 SPARK YOUR INTEREST


This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and
reflect on a school environment that promotes learning and development.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics


of a school environment that is safe, secure, and is supportive of learning (PPST
2.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

1. A physical environment conductive 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 uploads.

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 board 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 learnings.

4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility,
correctness, and durability.

When I go around the school campus, I noticed that every classroom


has a board display and even the principal’s office has a board display. Upon
location many of the board displays are located at the back portion of the
classroom. Where in the target viewers can easily see and read the messages
that are pasted in the board display. On the classroom I’ve find the board
display it is about the data bank. Where in message convey by the board
display is about the students update and information. The materials used are
printing materials, and cut out letters. Boarders are used in constructing the
board display and aside from that it has many designs that catches the
attention of the target viewers and readers. There is no error in constructing
the messages because the messages are clearly and readable in a nearest sight.

Learner Diversity: Developmental
FS Characteristics, Needs and Interest

1 SPARK YOUR INTEREST


Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to observe learners of
different ages and grade levels. It highlights the difference in their characteristics
and needs. As a future teacher, it is important for me to determine my learner’s
characteristics and needs so that I will be to plan and implement learning
activities and assessment that are all developmentally appropriate.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics,


needs and interest of learners from different developmental levels. (3.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode:


1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional
parents 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).

REFLECT

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?
 When I was just the same with their age, I remembered my
experiences, I`m also playing, running and talking with my
friends, seatmates and sometimes scolded by the teacher
because of not paying attention, but I different from them
because I focus on my studies and I can show my talents to
them. Sometimes when there`s a rain I keep on playing to the
rain with my friends.

2) Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reason. How
did she/ he help or not help you with needs (physical, emotional, social,
and cognitive)? How did it affect you?

 The teacher that I could not forget is teacher Welen, because


she is very kind, have sense of humor, very patience, and
helpful. She is very talented and motivates me to show my
talents in drawing. Her lessons and values are always in our
hearts and she always wearing beautiful smiles even she have
a problems.

3) Share your other insights here.


 Teaching is not easy, always remember never stop learning
because life never stop teaching.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE

3
Focus on Gender, Needs, Strengths, Interest, Experience

FS Language, Race, Culture, Religion, Socio- economic Status,


Difficult Circumstances, and Indigenous Peoples

1 SPARK YOUR INTEREST


Episode 3 provides an opportunity to observe how difference in gender,
racial, cultural and religious backgrounds, including coming from indigenous
groups influence learner behavior, interaction, 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.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must able to:


 Describe the characteristics and needs of learners from diverse
backgrounds;
 Identify the needs of students with different levels of abilities in
the classroom;
 Identify best practices in differentiated teaching to suit the varying
learner needs in a diverse class (PPST 3.1.1); and
 Demonstrate openness, understanding, and acceptance of the
learner’s diverse needs and backgrounds.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are the principles and concepts relevant to this episode:


1. Principles of Development
a) Development and learning proceed of varying rates from child to
child, as well as at uneven rate across different areas of the child’s
functioning. (NAYC 2019)
b) Development and learning are maximized when learners are
challenged to achieve at a level just above their current level of
mastery, 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 a 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 the Indigenous Peoples


A young teacher’s approach to indigenous peoples starts with a
keen awareness of one’s own identity, including one’s belief 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. Similarity, 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 ethnolinguistic 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 people’s 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 8372 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples’ Right Act,
recognized 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 will still have 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 32, s.2015. adopting the
Indigenous Peoples Educations (IPED) Curriculum Framework.
Most useful for you as a future teacher to remember are the 5 Key
Elements of an Indigenous Peoples Education Curriculum (DI
32, s.2015 enclosure, pp.15-18)
d) Curriculum Design, Competences and Content. Interfacing the
national curriculum with Indigenous Knowledge system and
practices (IKSPs) and Indigenous Learning system (ILS) the design
of a culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum has the
following features:
a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community’s
world view, and its indigenous cultural institution.
b. Includes and respect the community’s expression of spiritually as part
of the curriculum context.
c. Affirm and strengths indigenous cultural identity.
d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengths, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and
indigenous language.
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’ right 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 broader society.
e) 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.
f) Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and
responsive curriculum recognize that the ancestral domain where
IKSPs are experienced, lived, and learned is the primary learning
environment and learning space of indigenous learner.
g) Learning Resource. Instructional materials, and other learning
resource shall be developed and utilized in line with the described
curriculum content and teaching-learning process.
h) 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

The learners’’ differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect
the quality of teaching and learning. This activity is about observing and
gathering data to find out how student diversity affects learning.
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these
steps:
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (beginning of the day,
class time, recess, etc.)
Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and
social and cultural diversity.
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom.
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that
she uses in dealing with diversity in the classroom.
Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners’ interactions
The observation form is provided for me to document my observation.

An Observation Guide for the learners’ Characteristics


Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your
observation report on the space provided on the next page.
1. Find out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial
groups, religious, and ethnic backgrounds.

During Class:
1) How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students
interact with one another and with the teacher. Are these groups that interact
more with the teacher than other.

2) Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do
they behave and interact differently?

3) Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the earners cooperate with
or compete against other?

4) Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most
help?
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?
Outside class:
1. How do the student group themselves outside class? Homogenously, by age? By
gender? by racial interest? Or are the students in mixed social groupings? If so,
described the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.

Interview the teacher and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected
the learner. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.

Ask the teacher about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse students
due to the following factors:
 Gender, including LGBT
 Language and cultural difference
 Difference in religion
 Socio-economic status

ANALYZE

1) Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and
interaction in the classroom. What roles do they play? Is these somebody
who appears to be the leader, a mascot/joker, an attention seeker, a little
teacher, a doubter/pessimist?
 The person who play an important roles in the classroom interactions are
the teacher and the pupils. The teacher acts as facilitator and the pupils
act as the leaners. In each types of classroom interaction the teachers has
different roles. The teacher acts as the controller, resource and the tutor in
the learnercontent interaction. While the learners instructor, the teacher
acts as propmter, resource, and tutor. Students needs to interact with
others so as to learn the simple rules of the socitey and be socially
acceptable. Social interactio teaches students and teachers their right as
well as the wrong things with regards to the society in which they interact.
Yes, somebdy can be a leader thats why everybody play different roles.

What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their
behavior?
 The family, peers, school and the wider community impact on
student`s behavior. The way we behave is also influenced by
personal characteristics such as gender, age, personality,
religion, mental and physical health.

2) Is there anyone you observed who appear left out? Are students who
appear “different?” Why do they appear different? Are they accepted by
the others? How is this shown?
 Yes there are, some students, they appear different from
others because sometimes they didn`t finish answering the
activities in the modules, while other students answering the
modules completely.
What does the teacher do to address issues like this?
 The teachers will the attention of the students together with their
parents, then teacher give some advices and guiding the student`s
and the teachers told the parents that the activities it the modules
should do by the students completely.
3) How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the
individual difference of the students?
 The teacher`s influences the class interaction by encouraging
learners to share their personal experiences through sharing
to the class or by groups, students will be made to realize that
they have something in common with the rest though they
possess some differences. Another way is using varied
instructional methods to accommodate student`s diversity.
4) What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity
in the classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?
 The strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits
of diversity in the classroom, the teacher should treat the
students equally.

REFLECT

1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense
of oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher and the
learner?
 While I`m observing in the classroom I feel optimistic that as if
I am already a teacher of them, I could sense the oneness and
unity among the learners and the teacher because the
learners intermingled positively to their teacher, when the
teacher ask a questions they respond it instantly without
hesitation to themselves, the students have a full confidence
and trust in their self.

1) Did your observation match the information given by the teacher?


 Yes, the information given by the teacher matched on my
observation. I could identify the students who performed well
since they are the one who answered on their modules and
they are the one who do and answered on their summative
test then the teacher will based on the scores and points that
the students will get that’s why we can now know who will be
the one who performed well and get the highest grades.

2) Describe the differences in ability levels of the students in the class? What
practices or strategies are done or should be done to differentiate
instruction to meet the needs of the learners?
 Upon the observation the different abilities have by the grade
6 pupils. There are fast and slow learners in class, to meet the
needs of the class the strategies or technique that should do is

LERANER DIVERSITY: THE COMMUNITY AND

FS HOME ENVIRONMENT

1 SPARK YOUR INTEREST


Episode 4 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 teachers links with the
community to maximize the learning and development of students.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 Describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the
students’ learning;
 Seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with
parents/guardians and the wider community (62.1); and
 Identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the
family.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

1. Presents the learner within the context of layers of relationship systems


that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are:
Microsystem Mesosyste Exosystem Macrosyste Chronosyste
– includes the m – the – the bigger m– m – the
structure connection social outermost elements of
such as one’s between the system layer which the patterns of
family, school structures which includes stability and

t, the laws.
workplace
and the
mass
media.

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. Braumrid’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.
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 od 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.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE

FS 1 5 Creating an Appropriate Learning


Environment

SPARK YOUR INTEREST

This learning Episode provides an opportunity to examine how


classrooms are structured or designed to allow everyone’s maximum
participation for effective learning. You should be able to examine how
classroom management practices affect learning. This Episode 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.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Plan how to manage time, space, and resources; and
 Provide a learning environment appropriate to the learners and
conducive to learning.

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 forget; what I see, I
remember; what I do, I understand”
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
established and negative consequences for such are communicated.
 Classroom practices are democratic.

Managing Time, Space and Learning Resources


Activity 5.1

Resource Teacher: _______________ Teacher’s Signature: ____________ School: _________


Grade/Year Level: ______________ Subject Area: ____________________ Date: _____________

OBSERVE

Observe and use the observation sheet provided for you to document
tour observations.

1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note their
ages.

2. How many boys are there? How many girls?

3. Focus on their behavior. Are they able to manage their own behavior?

4. Can the learners already work independently?

5. Describe their span of attention.

ANALYZE
Analyze the 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; then organize your data in
the Table that follows.

1. Are the areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching
aids, books, students’ belongings, supplies, etc.) describe the areas. Will it
make a difference if these areas for specific purposes are not present?

2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do
these rules reinforce 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 students’ behavior?

4. What are the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher? (Prayer,
Attendance, Assignment of monitors, Warm-Up Activities, etc.) How are
they done?

5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement?


Does this help in managing the class?

6. Observe the noise level in the Classroom. How is this managed?

7. If a learner is not following instruction or is off-task, what does the


Resource Teacher do? Describe the behavior strategy used.

8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors?


(behavior strategies)

REFLECT

Reflection as a future Teacher.


1. Why do you need to enforce positive discipline?
 It really needs to enforce positive discipline, because Positive
discipline guides children away from danger, demonstrates
self-control, and teaches them how to make appropriate
choices. It also develops positive relationships between children
and caregivers helps build confidence and self-esteem.

ANALYZE

1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learner’s
behavior?
 The organization of classroom materials allows students to retrieve
them quickly, which helps to decrease unwanted behavior. Proper
room arrangement provides predictably, which is essential for
students because students thrive when they are in a comfortable
learning environment. When you organize your classroom
effectively, your students know what their responsibilities are and what
you expect of them. It also gives students a structured daily routine for
your class starting class with a warm-up period and then transition to
lecturing and helps them manage their learning better.
2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the
classroom organization and routines? What theories and principles
should you have in mind?

 They should have in mind 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 hurtimg themselves.They should also
consider how cluttered the classroom is as some studies have
shown that children cannot work properly in a cluttered
room.The routines should be simple and easy to follow, incase
the class ever has a cover teacher; they should also leave
suitable amounts of time for each activity. I think the should bear
in his/her that daily organization and routines depend on the age
the learner because there are students have different action,
attitude, characteristics, and behavior when it comes in daily
routines.

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the


learners? In motivating students? Why were they effective?
 By allowing the entire class to participate in setting behavior
expectations, students feel greater ownership over the set of rules
they live under. Students are also more likely to hold one another
accountable. This method can be particularly effective with older
students, especially high schoolers. These students already have an
inclination to dismiss what they see as arbitrary authority, but
have a desire to gain control over their day-to-day responsibilities.
While motivating students can be a difficult task, the rewards are more
than worth it. Motivated students are more excited to learn and
participate. Simply put: Teaching a class full of motivated students is
enjoyable for teachers and students alike. Some students are self-
motivated, with a natural love of learning.
REFLECT

Reflect on the following and write your insights.


1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade
level do you see yourself? What routines and procedures would you
consider for this level why?

2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why
would you choose these rules?

3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?


 Yes, the learners should involve it is helpful because it fosters
student ownership in the classroom and responsibility among the
students for their behaviors. When used appropriately, rules provide a
sense of predictability and consistency for children, thereby promoting
physical and emotional safety. Rules help guide actions toward
desired results.

LINK THEORY TO PRACTICE

Direction: Read the items given below and encircle the correct answer.
1. Focusing on natural consequences of students’ behavior develops more
self-regulation in the students. Which of the following teacher statements
demonstrates focusing on natural consequences?
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 seatwork 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 grade of 95mor higher in the first two assignment,
you will be exempted from the third assignment.
2. Learners are more likely to internalize and follow classroom rules
when______.
A. The teacher clearly explains the rules she prepared
B. The learners know the punishments for not following the rules
C. The learners participate in the rule-making process
D. The teacher gives additional points for those who follow the
rules
3. For a teacher to establish and maintain consistent standards of learners’
behavior, they should do all EXCEPT ____________________________.
A. Give immediate feedback to reinforce appropriate behavior of
learners

Grade/Year Level: ____________________ Subject Area: ___________________ Date: _________

OBSERVE

Observe a class and list down rules formulated by the Resource


Teacher. Cite the importance of these rules.
Classroom rules are imperative and must be reinforced for learners’
safety and security. Rules also teach discipline and self-control. Rules eliminate
stress and will provide a more pleasant, secured and non-threatening
environment. Rules ensure the students’ engagement and focus on their
classroom activities.
Classroom Rules Importance

by the teachers
4. Having good attitude Respect others
5. Be proud of your work Developing of your works
6.

ANALYZE

1. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation of the
rule?
 The primary reason for setting classroom rules is to eliminate and
avoid all distractions and possible misconduct that interferes with
learning. The aim is to create a positive and conducive atmosphere for
learning, and to do so classroom management is essential.
2. Are classroom rules really important?
 Yes, Classroom rules are set to teach student a proper and safe way
to act within the classroom and thus, improving the student
learning. Every minute in school is important. Another important thing
is that the student's disruptive behaviors will hinder another student's
learning opportunities. Classroom rules are the foundation for a
functional and successful classroom in any setting. Rules vary from
procedures as they determine what the classroom looks like, what
type of behavior is acceptable and encouraged, and help students
work towards a common goal. In other words, they set the tone.

Physical and Personal Aspects of

FS 1 7 Classroom Management

SPARK YOUR
INTEREST
This Episode tackles classroom management and discipline. It focuses on
the personal and physical aspects of classroom management which are central to
teaching and therefore must be consistently implemented.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Identify the two (2) aspects of classroom management; and
 Determine the classroom management strategies that the Resources
Teacher employed in his/her class.

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 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
 Decrease3 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 consist of managing your own self to
ensure order and discipline in your class. Includes:
1.1 Voice
1.2 Personal grooming
1.3 Attendance
1.4 Punctuality
1.5 Personal graciousness

Managing yourself as a teacher contributes to the order and well-being of your


class.
2. Physical Classroom Management consists of managing the learning
environment.
Attending to these physical elements of the learning environment ensures the
safety, security and order in the class. It includes:
3.1 Ventilation

Identifying Personal and Physical Aspects of Classroom Management


Activity 7.1

Resource Teacher: _____________ Teacher’s Signature: __________ School: ___________


Grade/Year Level: _____________ Subject Area: ___________________ Date: _____________
Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners’ interactions.
The observation form is provided for me to document my observation.

OBSERVE

Observe a class and interview the Resource Teacher. Ask how the
personal and physical aspects of classroom management ensur4e proper
classroom management and discipline.
Check if these aspects were observed in the classroom.

Aspects of Classroom Management YES NO


1. Personal Classroom Management

1.1 Is the teacher well-groomed that he/she demands respect from


the learners?
1.2 Is the teacher’s voice modulated and can be heard by the entire class?

1.3 Was the teacher present in class?

1.4 Did the teacher arrive on time in class?


1.5 Does the teacher exude a positive attitude towards teaching?

2. Physical Classroom Management

2.1 Is the classroom well-ventilated?

2.2 Is the lighting good enough?

2.3 Is the classroom free from noise?

2.4 Does the seating arrangement provide better interaction?

2.5 Is the design/structure of the room inviting to classroom activities?

2.6 Is the physical space / learning station clear from obstruction?

ANALYZE

Analyze the different elements of personal/physical classroom


management and answer the following questions?

1. How does the voice of the teacher affect classroom instruction?


 The teacher's tone of voice is a powerful instrument. It sets the tone
and environment for the entire classroom in terms of engagement,
behavior, and rapport with students. It contains some valuable insights
from teachers who have experimented with how their tone of voice
affects the functionality of their classrooms. Teachers think a lot about
tone; they know that children take what they hear as a model for the
way they use own voices. .Teachers evolve powerful ways of talking
with children that may not be immediately clear to those coming into
the classroom.

2. How does the punctuality of the teacher affect classroom discipline?


 Being punctual and on time eliminates stress from your life and
removes the anxiety of being late and helps you in being calm and
organized. There are no forgotten items. Punctuality improves others'
Perception of you and people start seeing you as a matured, serious
and devoted individual.
 It is the teacher's job then to structure "the environment to facilitate
students control over their own behavior. When misbehavior occurs
the teacher helps students see the problem and guides them in
making an appropriate decision to resolve the problem" instead of
punishing, controlling and intimidating.

3. Why do we need to check on the physical aspects of classroom


management?
 The physical atmosphere of the classroom can help prevent behavior
issues as well as promote and improve learning. The physical
arrangement of the classroom can affect both student and teacher
behavior, and a well-structured classroom management plan of design
has the ability to improve learning and behavior. The physical
environment is crucial to classroom management because it
influences teacher and student behaviors. This intricate and
detailed planning makes some behaviors possible and
eliminates others.

REFLECT

Reflect on the aspects of personal and classroom management.

1. What does this statement mean to you as a future teacher? Explain. “No
amount of good instruction will come out without effective classroom
management.”
 If a teacher in a certain classroom doesn't know how to effectively
manage a classroom, then he/she will also not be able to formulate
and give any good instruction that sometimes leads to the failure of
the students to learn.

2. What are your plans in ensuring effective classroom management?


 My plans in ensuring effective classroom management, let one
another speak uninterrupted, raise concerns about one another`s
statements in respectful manners. Let students helps establish by
encouraging all students to help you build classroom expectations
and rules. Don’t let your mutually-respected guidelines go
forgotten, similar to handling out of syllabus, print and distribute
the list of rules that the class discussion generated. Avoid
punishing the class, address isolated discipline problems
individually, Instead of punishing an entire class, as the latter can
hurt your relationship with students who are on task and thereby
jeopardize other classroom management efforts. Encourage
initiative, promote growth mindset and inject variety into your
lessons, by allowing students to work ahead and deliver short
presentation. Offer praise, praise students for job well done, as
doing so improves academic and behavioral performance, inspire
the class, improve a student`s self -esteem, reinforce rules and
values you want to see. Use non-verbal communication,
complement words with action and visual aids to improve content
delivery, helping student`s focus and process lesson`s. Reward
specific student`s at the end of each lesson, in front of the class, as
another motivational and behavioral reinforcement technique.

ANALYZE

Analyze the checklist you have accomplished and answer the given
questions:
1. How many strategies were employed by the Resource Teacher? Did these
contribute to better classroom management? Explain your answer.
 There are many strategies employed by the resource teacher and
these strategies indeed contributed to better classroom
management, because according to our resource teacher if yourself
as a teacher plays as the role model to your students and you show
respect and authority to the class eventually you will achieve the
effective implementation of these classroom management
strategies.
2. What were not used by the Resource Teacher? Were these important?
What should have been used instead? Explain.

REFLECT

As a future teacher, reflect on the observations then answer the given


question.
1. What classroom management strategies do I need to employ to respond
to diverse types of learners?
 Communicate your vision and goals for the school to your teachers.
Encourage them to come to you with any questions or concerns, and
work with them to promote diversity in the classroom. Show some
school spirit. Participate in school events and visit different clubs or
after-school activities. Ensuring that cultural awareness is promoted in
the classroom starts with the teacher understanding each individual
student. Aside from getting to know your students, teachers
should also continue to maintain ongoing communication
throughout the semester or school year. Scheduling 1-on-1
meetings with students to “check in” every so often will allow you
to consistently improve how accessible the classroom is to
everyone. Students can talk about whether they felt included in
the classroom culture. This can help identify issues or ways to
improve the overall experience.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Understanding the School Curriculum

FS 1 8 Close Encounter with the School


Curriculum

SPARK YOUR
INTEREST
Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to
resign total learning activities appropriate for each learner in each grade level.
Thus schools have recommended curriculum which is the enhanced K to 12
curriculum. The recommended curriculum was translated into written
curriculum like books, modules, teachers’ guides and lesson places 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
order to determine if learning took place (learned curriculum). However, there
are so many activities that happen in school 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 were

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this episode. I must be able to:
 Identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting;
 Describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning,
implementing lesson through different strategies and assessment of
learning outcomes; and
 Analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching
strategies and assessment.

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 com fine to a specific
learning space called school. School 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 in 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 11to 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:
1. Strengthen the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. Makes the curriculum relevant to the leaners. The use of contextualized
lessons and addition of issue 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 1Grade 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 development and cognitive skills. This process
strengthens the mastery and retention.
5. Gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finished 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 to 12.
6. Nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate 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 curriculums is the
Recommended 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
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 teachers is very crucial.
 A curriculum that has been 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 been 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, these are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are
not written, nor deliberately taught but they influence learning.
These includes peer influence, the media, school environment, the
culture and tradition, natural calamities and may 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, especially in the K to 12 or enhanced curriculum for the
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;

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Understanding the School Curriculum


FS 1 9 Preparing for Teaching and
Learning

SPARK YOUR
INTEREST
This episode 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, Attainment, Realistic, and Time-bound) formulated in accordance
with time-tested principles. It also determines the teaching method used by the
Resource Teacher whether (inductive or inductive) which is the practical
realization or application of an approach. This episode dovetails with the course
on Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this episode, I must be able to:
 Identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the
principles of teaching learning;
 Determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes
applied in instruction;
 Judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;
 Determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are achieved
at the end of the lesson.
 Observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher; and
 Differentiate the different methods of teaching.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning


3. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning
outcomes.
4. Learning is an active process. “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I
remember; what I do, I understand”
5. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are
given the opportunity to connect what they learn with the other concepts
learned, with real world experiences and with their own lives.
6. Learning is cooperative and a collaborative process.
A teaching method consist of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-
learning process. It is the practical realization of an approach. All methods of
teaching can be classified either deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

Observe a class with the use of the principles of learning given in Revisit
the Learning Essentials. I will identify evidence of applications/violations of the
principles of learning. I can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.

Principles of Learning What did the Resources Teachers do

4. Learning is cooperative and Interactive resource and courses


collaborative process. Learning is
enhanced in an atmosphere of
cooperation and collaboration.
ANALYZE

1. What principles of learning were most applied? Least applied?


Most Applied

 The learning principle that is applied most is the “learning is


cooperative and collaborative process”, because the teacher
always grouped the class for the students to feel free to share their
ideas and with that they will discuss the topic that was given to
them and afterwards, there will be a exchanging of thoughts.

Least Applied

 The learning principle that is least applied is the “Learning is


sometimes a painful process”, because the teacher doesn’t
discourage a certain student if he/she answered wrong, thus she
still appreciate it and say “at least you try” but not all times, so the
child doesn’t really get hurt.  Most of the time the teacher used up
by explaining and sharing thoughts regarding the topic. Mostly of
the class was being done by the teacher herself. This situations
somehow contrast to a teacher who mostly facilitates with the
learning for the students and they, the students, are the one who
gives some ideas about a certain topic.
 

Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?


 The applications are generally defined as any instructional method
that engages students in the learning process. In short, it requires
students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what
they are doing. While this definition could include traditional
activities such as homework, in practice, active learning refers to
activities that are introduced into the classroom. The core
elements of these learning principles are student activity and
engagement in the learning process. Active learning is often
contrasted to the traditional lecture where students passively
receive information from the instructor. Interacting with content
through active learning has some compelling advantages over
‘delivery mode’ lectures. It helps to maintain student concentration
and deepens learning towards the higher-level skills like critical
thinking. It also helps to engage students who might otherwise
struggle. This does not mean doing away with spoken lectures,
rather it means integrating different ways of engaging with the
material at regular intervals throughout the lecture.

ANALYZE

Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused?


 In my own perspective, SMART objectives really help the lesson
become more focused because with the utilization of such SMART
learning objectives, teachers are guided with regards to achieving
the intended learning outcomes or what they are expecting from
the students. SMART is an effective tool that provides the clarity,
focus and motivation you need to achieve your goals. It can also
improve your ability to reach them by encouraging you to define
your objectives and set a completion date.

What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:


a) Constructivist – connected to past experiences of learners; learners constructed
new lesson meanings

b) Inquiry-based

c) Developmentally appropriate – learning activities fit the developmental stage of


children

d) Reflective

e) Inclusive – No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.

f) Collaborative – Students work together.

g) Integrative – Lesson was multidisciplinary – e.g. In Science, Math concepts were


taught.
ANALYZE

1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for


mastery and for the test?
 The possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter
for mastery and for the test, would most likely be the loss of
your teaching license, coaching of your students to be able to
pass the test will be punished. The student-teachers mastery
of the subject matters influences the learners understanding
of the subjects they learn, performance and eventual
attainment of national goals.

2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-
centered or student-centered? Why?
 If I were reteach the classes I observed I should teach the
lesson wherein it should be students-centered because it also
help the learners to have an attention to cooperate during the
class discussion, and they can easily learn and catch up the
lesson if I involve the learners. And the class will have and
collaboration by sharing ideas and have self confidence in
participating then as a teacher I should guide the learners to
do the task successfully and I reteach the lesson properly so
that the learners will have a better outcomes and gain more
knowledge.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE


The Instructional Cycle
FS 1 10
SPARK YOUR INTEREST
V
This Episode 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.
Likewise, this Episode 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 have a
bearing on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories learned in the
course, Teaching Methods and Strength and in other professional subjects in
Education.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use
of teaching strategies.
 Determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with
outcomes-based teaching and learning.
 Identify the Resource Teacher’s questioning and reacting techniques.
 Outline a lesson in accordance with outcome teaching-learning.

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 sense that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhance 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 than 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 Commisssion
on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of Competency Standards-Based
teaching and Assessment. CHED requires all higher education institution in the
country to go outcome-based education (OBE) in its 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.
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 other 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 ILOs.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With
mastery learning of teach and the AT’s are the evaluation part.
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 instructions.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.
Types of Questions that Teachers Ask
1. Factual/Convergent/Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions?
With one acceptable answer

2. Divergent/Open-ended/High- Open-ended; has more than one


level/Higher-order/Conceptual acceptable 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 reading 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
13. Overusing expressions such as “okay”, “right”

learners, so that the learners will learn
and listen during class discussion.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of The learners will always remember
information. what they learned in class, it will serve
as a guide and memories to them
because they applying the learnings
that they learned from their teacher.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is When the learners applying in their life
connected to students’ everyday life. the learnings that they gain and shared
it to the others so that they have a
connection because the learnings that
they get during their class they will
applied it in their everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is You can see the actual learning aside
far more effective that teaching from that, the teachers teach the
isolated bits of information. importance and explained well. Than
isolated teaching they will not know if
the statements they are reading is true
or not.

ANALYZE
What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing?
 The best method teaching is the integrated approach because it
will helps the learners to develop their skills and abilities and to
fulfill their knowledges and the teacher will be the one who guide
to the students.

REFLECT

Reflect on this question.

How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lesson?

 Start with the objectives, before selecting appropriate teaching


strategies, then determine the learning objectives for the lesson
 Align your teaching strategies to the objectives it should be related
 Know your students background
 Having Visualization
 Cooperative learning
 Using technology In the classroom
 It should be related to the lesson that you`ll teach
 Professional development to teach properly
 Having appropriate materials
 Make modifications to the teaching strategies and assessment`s as
you get to know your students.

Activity 10.2 Determining Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning


Resource Teacher: ______________ Teacher’s Signature: ____________ School: __________
Grade/Year Level: ____________ Subject Area: __________________ Date: __________________

OBSERVE
Observe a class and answer the following questions.
1. Did the teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning
outcomes (ILOs) at the beginning of the class? Did he/she share them
with the class?how?
 Yes, because it will serve as a guide in teaching the lessons, and it
will help to share to the class during his/her discussion and to see
what is the outcome of the lesson.
2. What teaching-learning activities (TLAs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs
help him/her attain his/her lesson objectives/ILOs? Explain your answer.
 By using the techniques like giving an activities for example group
activities, by this activities the learners will having a brainstorming
and collaboration to accomplish the given task to them by the
teacher.
3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/her these aligned to the
Lesson objectives/ILOs?
 By giving an activities that related to the subjects matters and to
the lesson or giving a board work task to see the outcomes and the
performances of the learners.

ANALYZE

1. What are your thoughts about Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning


(OBTL)?
 For me, the outcomes based learning was really important to the
learners, it will the learnings of the students if they gain and
understand the lessons that was tackled, and it is also important to
the teachers because they will be the one who make the lesson plan
and the teachers is the one who teach the lesson.

REFLECT

Reflect on the use of OBTL.


 By using the OBTL the teachers will know if the students have
knowledge from the lesson by giving a assessment task so that it will
know if the learners have learnings form the lessons and it help the
teacher to recognize the weaknesses of the learners and because of
this the teacher will help the learners to develop or improve the
skills of the students.

OBSERVEObserve a class activity. You shall focus on the questions that the
Resource Teacher asks during the classroom discussion. Write the
questions raised and identify the level of questions.
Types of Question Examples of Questions that the Resource Teacher
Asked

1. Factual/convergent Are the lesson is understand?


Closed/low level

2. Divergent/ higher- What part of the lessons didn`t understand?

a. Evaluation Did you get and understands the lessons?

b. Inference What can you say about the lesson that I discussed?

c. Comparison What are the differences of our lessons today and last
meeting topic?
d. Application Oral recitation

e. Problem solving What are the lessons all about?


3. Effective It may related to your life?
Or it might happened in real life?

ANALYZE

1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as question marks and


leave school as periods!” Does this have something to do with the type of
questions that teachers ask and the questioning and reacting techniques
that they employ?
 I thinks it means that the children go to school have lack of
knowledge then when they leave the school they gain more ideas
and fulfill their knowledge because they learned somethings new in
the school.

REFLECT

Reflect on
The importance of using various reacting techniques
 Importance of using various react it helps the teacher to encourage
the learners to listen and be attentive during the class discussion,
and also the students will not be bored during the class hour
because teachers used various react or expression to express well
the lesson and to have a collaboration and cooperation of the
learners and they will enjoy. The students also will have a self-
confidence to participate in class because the teacher get attention of
class by using different react.

Resource and ICT

SPARK YOUR INTEREST


V
With the lightning speed by which technology is involving, and now with 4.0,
technology continues to be an ever significant part of the learning environment.
This episode provides an opportunity for students to examine a Learning
Resources Center or Multi-Media Center and learn about its collection, service,
equipment, observe how a teacher utilizes technology for instruction, and
explore resources in the virtual learning environment. Students will analyze and
reflect on how technology, including artificial intelligence, supports the teaching-
learning process.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 Identify and classify learning resource materials in the multi-media
center;
 Show skills in the positive use of ICT to facilitate the teaching-learning
process (PPST 1.3.1);
 Show skills in the evaluation, selection, development, and use of a variety
learning resources, including ICT to address learning goals (PPST 4.5.1);
 Analyze the level of technology integration in the classroom; and
 Demonstrate motivation to utilize ICT for professional development goals
based on the PPST (PPST 7.5.1)

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


The Information and Communication Technology Competency
Framework for Teachers (ICTCFT) 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, 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 Communication on Higher Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017)
includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most likely you have tackled this in your
Technology for Teaching and Learning classes.
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work
in this episode. The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and
reflect about the competencies discussed in the framework.
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 outcomes was the ever-
expanding interface between the traditional library and ICT both in term
of hardware and software system and application.
3. School may have different set-up 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 center with maker space.
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 function: center of resources, laboratory of
learning, and 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 instruction can be
described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adoption, 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, collaborate,
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.

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, web quests, 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 internet resources. You will be able to choose the best resources
that will help you attain you teaching-learning objectives.

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


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 the 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 processes flow
smoothly.
(Based on the work of Fitzgerald, Mary Ann, Lovin, Vicki, and Branch, Robert
Maribe (2003). A gateway to Educational Materials: An Evolution of an Online
Resource for Teachers and an Exploration of User Behaviors. Journal of
Technology and Teacher Education. 11 (1), 21-51).
Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The
unprecedented speed at which technology is involving 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 teach and learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resource (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,
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 episode.
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we
interact, learn about things and share information. Sites and apps such us
facebook , twitter, Instagram provide a virtual venue for teacher 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 send the most number of text message 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. Lot is a system of computing mechanism that
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 doctor. All of these development can influence the
way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated
when computers or machine simulate thinking and behavior of humans
such as talking, learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as
Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google assistant are near samples 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 form 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 interaction and transaction are done
electronically, and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is
generated and sorted. The challenge is how sense of this data, through
analytics and research 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 the problem or project-based learning
approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy 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.
Massive Open On-line Courses
Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCs) are online courses open to a big
group of people. Below are the basic information about MOOCS. Let us focus on
each word:
Massive
 MOOCs are on-line courses designed for large number of participants,
usually larger than the number of students that can fit a regular
classroom. There can be hundreds or even be a thousand or more.
Open
 There is mostly freedom of place, pace and time.
 Courses can be accessed by anyone anywhere as long as they have
internet connection.
 Courses are open to everyone without entry qualifications.
 Some courses are for free.
Online
All aspects of the courses are delivered online.
Course
The MOOC of offers a full course experience including:
 Educational content. May include video, audio, text, games, simulations,
social media and animation
 Facilitation interaction among peers. Builds a learning community
through opportunities to internet
 Some interaction with the teacher or academic stuff
 Activities/tasks, tests, including feedback. Participants are provided with
some feedback mechanism. Can be automatically generated like quizzes,
feedback from peers or the teacher
 Some kind of (non-formal) recognition options. It includes some kind of
recognition like badges or certificate of completion. A formal certificate is
optional and the most likely has to be paid for.
 A study guide/syllabus. This includes instructions as to how you may
learn from the materials and interactions presented.

Assessment FOR Learning and


FS 1 12 Assessment AS Learning
(Formative Assessment)

SPARK YOUR
INTEREST
Assessment in an essential part of the instructional cycle. The instruction
cycle consists of: 1. setting the intendent learning outcome/s, 2. Selecting a
teaching 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 episode 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.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this episode. I must be able to:
 Demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of formative assessment;
and
 Explain the importance of formative 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 learners’
understanding and progress.
 If we found out that the 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 that 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.

OBSERVE

1. Observe what Teacher does or listen to what Teacher says to find


out if the students understood the lesson while teaching-learning is in
progress.
What Teacher Said Tally Total

What Teacher Did Tally Total

2. Did the teacher ask the class “Did you understand”? If she did, what was
the class’ response?
 Some students said yes
3. Did the students make the teacher feel or sense they did not understand
the lesson or a part of the lesson? How?
 By asking questions/ the students remain silence
4. If they did, how did the teacher respond?
 They will repeat the lesson that they don’t get and understand.
5. Were the students given the opportunity to ask questions for
clarification? How was this done?
 When the teachers ask the students a questions of what they
don’t understand or some questions that can be related to the
subject matters.
6. If she found out that her/his lesson was not clearly understood, what did
teacher do? Did you observe any of these activities? Please check.
 The teachers repeat it again and give an activities that related
to the topic so that the learners will get it now and after they do
it the teachers will explain it again
______ Peer tutoring (Tutor were assigned by teacher to teach one or two
classmates
______ Each-one-teach-one (Students paired with one another)
______ Teacher gave a Module for more exercises for lesson mastery
______ Teacher did re-teaching

Others, please specify

7. If she engaged himself/herself in re-teaching, how did she do it? Did


he/she use the same teaching strategy? Describe.
 It will change the strategy and make it short to clarify what they
really want to know by the students.
8. While re-teaching by himself/herself and / or with other students-turned
tutors, did teacher check on students’ progress? If yes, how?
 Yes, because before teachers started to teach the students they
all know that the students background so that they adjust to
make their students learned in the process that they needed.

ANALYZE
1. Why should a teacher find out if students understand the lesson while
teaching is in progress? It is not better to do a once-and-for-all assessment at
the completion of the entire lesson?
 The teacher should find out if students understand the lesson
by giving an assessment to the students after the discussion and
while the teaching is in progress, teachers should ask a
question to the learners so that they can know if the students
understand and catch up the lesson.
2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask “Did you understand, class? “When
he/she intends to check on learners’ progress?
 Because some students when the teachers ask if they
understand the lesson the students are not telling the truth,
because some students afraid and shy to ask their teacher for
clarification of the discussion.
3. Should teacher record results for formative assessment for grading
purposes? Why or Why not?

 Yes, because this is important and to know the weaknesses of


the students that need to develop.
4. Based on your observations, what formative assessment practice worked?
 Base from my observation, the formative assessment practiced
worked, because of this teachers know if the students
understand the lesson.
5. For formative assessment, why is peer tutoring in class sometimes seen to be
more effective than teacher himself/herself doing the re-teaching or
tutoring?
 Because it helps the students to develop their skills and
abilities, and they have an interest to study so that when they
had an assessment they can answer it properly.
6. Could an unreasonable number of failures at the end of the term/grading
period be attributed to the non-application of formative assessment? Why or
why not?
 I think no, because there is another way to fulfill their failure
and to develop by making projects or taking again of the exam.
REFLECT

 Formative assessment is tasting the soup while cooking. Reflect on this and
write your reflections.
 When we say formative assessment is also referred to as
assessment for learning, assessment for learning simply
means we do assessment to ensure learning, and it will
needed to be recorded to add their grade result when they
are failed,.
 Should you record results of formative assessment? Why or why not?
 Yes, because it is important,, to know if the students get high
grades or low grades.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, 1 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 adjustment so that they achieve deeper understanding.
 Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their
own learning.
 It requires students to ask question 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.

own learning?
2. What are proofs that students When they are sharing their ideas
were engaged in self-reflection, about the subject matters.
self-monitoring and self-
adjustment?
3. Did students record and report Yes, because the teacher asked
their own learning? them after the discussion.
4. Did teacher create criteria with Yes, to know if the students
the students for tasks to be accomplish the given task, and to
completed or skill to learned? know if the students have failures.

ANALYZE

1. If the student is at the heart of all assessment, then all assessment should
support students learning. Do you agree? Why or why not?
 Yes, I agree because assessment is a part of learning of the
students that they know if the students have knowledge that
gain from the lesson.
2. Does assessment as learning have the same ultimate purpose as
assessment for learning?
 Yes, because we all know that assessment is a part of
learning because it is based on the student`s grades. And it is
the summary of the performance of the students.

uii8

REFLECT
The primary purpose of assessment is not to measure but to further
learning. Reflect on your personal experiences of assessment in school. Were
you given opportunities for self-assessment? If yes, what was its impact on your
learning?
 The primary purpose of assessment is to measure the
learning of the students because it will depends for each
score the total of possible grade of the students, when I was
a child sometimes I got half score and sometimes I got high
scores, but the important is to have a knowledge and to
passed the subjects. It is really help for us to develop our
skills and abilities, by this assessment, we can also know our
weaknesses that we need to develop or to improve.

 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 test 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.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED 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
outcome 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?
 What type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use – analytic or holistic?

Scrutinizing the Type and Parts of a Portfolio


Activity 13.4
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
 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 with 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 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 international collection
of work guided by learning objectives.
 Effective portfolio systems are characterized by clear picture of the student skills
to be addressed, student’s involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio,
use of criteria to define quality performance as basis for communication, and
self-reflection through which students share 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.

What a Portfolio Includes


Elements of a Portfolio Present? Missing?
1. Clear objectives – The
objectives of the
lesson/unit/course are clear
which serve as a bases for
selection

2. Explicit guidelines for selection


– what, when, where, how are
products/documented
performances selected?

3. Comprehensible criteria – the


criteria against which the
portfolio is graded must be
understood by the learners.

4. Selective significant pieces –


The portfolio includes only the
selected significant materials.

5. Student’s reflection – There is


evidence that students
reflected on their learning.

6. Evidence of student
participation in selection of
content of portfolio – There is
proof that students took apart
in the selection of the content
of the portfolio.

ANALYZE

1. With OBE in mind, which should be the basis for the selection of pieces of
evidence to show that what the student was supposed to learn was learned?
2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio, based on the parts, under which type of
portfolio does this fall?

Elements of a _____________________ Portfolio (Which type of portfolio?)

1. Cover Letter- “About the Author” and “What My Portfolio Shows About My Progress
as a Learner”

2. Table of Contents with numbered pages

3. Entries-both core (required items) and optional items (chosen by students).

4. Dates on all entries to facilitate proof of growth over time.

5. Drafts of aural/oral and written products and revised revisions, i.e. (first drafts and
corrected/revised versions.)

6. Student’s Reflections

3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?
REFLECT

Have portfolios made the learning assessment process more inconvenient?


Is the effort exerted on portfolio assessment commensurate to the improvement
of learning and development of learner’s metacognitive process that result from
the use of portfolio?

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

 Sample/s of Improved Written Tests, both selected-response type and supply

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING Knowing the Quality teacher
EPISODE

FS 1 14
The Teacher as a
PERSON and as a
PROFESSIONAL

SPARK YOUR INTEREST

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
a teacher as a person and as a professional?
This Episode will provide you a chance to observe teachers in their own
workplace at school in order to answer the questions asked.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this Episode, I 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 Teacher’s Day
celebration in the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real
heroes? What do you think? Why?
My 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.
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 characterized 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- self-discipline. Likewise, respected by students, peers
respect, integrity and and the community.
self-discipline
 Takes care of one’s  This teacher is physically, emotionally and mentally
physical, emotional healthy. Clean and neat, dresses appropriately and
and mental well-being pleasant in words and in action.
 Lives a life inspired by This teacher behaves according to the personal
spiritual principles spiritual beliefs that are not contrary to the norms,
and beliefs mores and tradition of the community.
 Exhibits deep This teacher is mentally alert, makes correct decision,
knowledge and intelligent to be able to acquire new knowledge, skills
understanding across and values needed in order to teach. She/he has the
disciplines 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  This teacher sets high goals for himself/herself, but
strength with 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 This teacher is calm in the midst of chaos, remains
challenging situation steadfast under pressure, does not easily give up and
adjust to different situations.
 Demonstrates 
a This teacher volunteers tasks for others, always
natural action to work willing to share, extends help willingly, accepts
together with others 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 competence 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 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 experimental learning courses that include Field
Study 1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship. These are Important in your
preparation to become professional teachers.
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


Professional Competencies What the Teacher DOES
 Abides by the code of ethics for the  This teacher practices the rules and
profession conduct of professional teachers.
 Masters the subject matter to be  This teacher masters and updates

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 Episode. Activity 1 will
identify the Personal Characteristics of the Teacher and Activity 2 will identify
the Professional Competencies of the Teacher.

Aside from direct observation, you will also do a survey in Activity 2.

ANALYZE

Did you learn from your observation of the teacher? Now let us analyze
the information that you have gathered.
Answer the following questions.
1. In Activity 1, what do you consider as the 3 most outstanding significant personal
qualities of the teacher you chose as your case? Why do you consider these as
outstanding?
a) Determined– because we all know that teachers always had a planned or

duty as a teacher.

everyone’s needs and she listens to the idea of each of them regardless of
their physical appearance or personality.

someday? Why? Describe yourself.
 I think the qualities that I already had is spiritual, determine and
humble and I know that it is enough so I must study hard for me to
be an effective teacher that is qualified to the standard of a good and
effective teacher.

REFLECT

Good teachers are role models, whether in school, at home or in the


community. From the teachers that you had from elementary to college, did the
personal qualities that they possess help you learn better as a student?
Identify one personal characteristics of your model teacher that has made a
great impact in your life as a learner. Reflect and describe how this quality
influenced you.

My model teacher is a good teacher, and one of the qualities I admire the
most in her is her optimism. She always tells us that if we have a dream that we
want to achieve, we must trust ourselves and believe that we can achieve it. I
admire her for always inspiring her students; as a result, she is my favorite
teacher; she is good at teaching, and I have learned a lot from her, which is why
she continues to inspire me to this day.

competences? Now let us analyze the data.
Answer the following questions.
1. In activity 2, do you consider the Teacher as a Professional Teacher? In what
competencies is the teacher Strong? ___________Doubtful? __________ Why?
 Because she can apply all competencies, the teacher has a high level
of competence. These skills will enable her to be a more effective
teacher, able to meet all of the pupils' requirements. We all know
that the teacher plays an important part in students' learning; they
act as a guide for pupils on how to deal with the various challenges
that they may face.

2. Did your answers to the survey form coincide with the answers of the co-teacher
or head of the teacher you observed?
Why?

REFLECT

enhance my talents. I must be prepared to deal with a variety of
pupils and be able to meet their requirements as a student. Teaching
is difficult; thus, it will take more time and effort to achieve your
aim. Students look up to us as role models, therefore it's critical that
all of our actions and words teach them valuable lessons and instill
positive attitudes and values.

2. If all the teachers teaching today possess the professional characteristics and
competencies as the teacher/teachers observed, then learners will be

EVALUATE Performance Task

Ma'am Rechelle Suarez, the teacher I observed, she handled Filipino, E.S.P, Math,
Araling Panlipunan. As far as I can tell, she is a highly capable instructor, owing
to her knowledge and mastery of the subject, which allows her to be more
effective in the classroom. She uses a variety of tactics and ideas to meet the
needs of her students. She also has strong communication skills, allowing her to
effectively give courses to her students. She had a method of teaching that was
both organized and planned; she produced a lesson plan and facilitated the class
until the topic was completed effectively. She patiently answered all of the
students' questions and always led them through each exercise. She gives clear
directions in all of the exercises and assigns grades based on the criteria she
devised.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Towards Teacher Quality:

FS1 15
Developing a Global
Teacher of the 21ST Century

SPARK Your Interest


Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A global teacher of the 21 st
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 profession.
However, with the change in global landscape, the 21 st 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 type of teachers, a glocal 21st century Filipino teacher.
(Global Teacher Status Index p. 123 Teaching Profession)

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the personal qualities and competencies of a glocal classroom teachers
of the 21st century; and
 Design a learner-centered classroom for the 21 st century learners with learning
spaces that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


FILIPINO GLOCAL TEACHER
A survey of 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 six hours of actual
teaching, That includes administrative work such as management of learning per
da. The two hours of the working day is allotted to administrative work such as
scoring and recording learners’ outputs, making reports, filling forms, preparing
for the next day’s activity and performing other administrative tasks. The
previous episode 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.
“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 Glocal 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. Understand 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. Encourage 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 Glocal Teachers for the 21 st Century


One of the major challenges of quality teachers is to “create a learning
environment that encourages creativity and innovations 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 provides learning spaces that can
hardly prepare the 21st century learners for the development of the 21 st 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 21 st 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.
A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well
as the management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to
address the new roles of teachers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the sex
elements of a new classroom:
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
7.
With the classroom structure, a quality teacher should be able to manage
learner under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher should use
effective classroom management strategies that will ensure productive learning.
Quality teacher 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 skills, experience and patience. The two
important factors that may affects learning management are the use of
technology and the diversity of learners.

clarify their values. the problem-solving-method. Other
hands-on-minds-on-hearts-on teaching
methods used are field trips during
which students interact with nature or
society.
4. Reconstructionism- school is agent of
change; schooling is preparing students for the
social changes; teaching is involving the
students’ in discussions of moral dilemmas
5. Existentialism- Teachers teach learners to Existentialist methods focus on the
make a choice, to make decisions and not individual. Learning is self-paced, self-
merely to follow the crowd; one who does not directed. It includes a great deal of
make a choice and so simply follow others do individual contact with the teacher, who
relates to each student openly and
not leave meaningful life
honestly. To help students know
themselves and their place in society,
teachers employ values clarification
strategy. In the use of such strategy,
teachers remain non-judgmental and take
care not to impose their values on their
students since values are personal.
6. Pragmatism- That which is 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 more efficient and
more effective and therefore more practical
than teacher coming up with a visual aid by
drawing mistosis on a cartolina or illustration
board
7. Rationalism- Emphasizes the development
of the learners’ reasoning powers; knowledge
comes though reason; teacher must develop
the reasoning power of the learner
8. Utilitarianism- what is good is that which is
most useful (that which brings happiness) to
the greatest number of peoples;
9. Empiricism- source of knowledge is through
the senses;; teacher must involve the senses in
teaching- learning
10. Behaviorism- behavior is shaped Behaviorist teachers ought to arrange
deliberately by forces in the environment and environmental conditions so that
that the type of person and actions desired can students can make the responses to
be the product of design; behavior is stimuli. Physical variables like light,
determined by others, rather than by person’s temperature, arrangement of furniture,
own free will; teacher must carefully shape size and quantity of visual aids have
desirable behavior; drills are commonly used controlled to get the desired responses
to enhance learning, rewards reinforce from the learners. Teachers ought to
learning. make stimuli clear and interesting to
captured and hold the learners
attentions, they could, ought to provide
appropriate incentives to reinforce
positive responses and weaken or
eliminate negative ones.
11. Constructivism- Learners are capable of The teachers role is to facilitate this
constructing knowledge and meaning; process, knowledge isn`t a thing that
teaching –learning therefore is constructing can simply deposited by the teachers
knowledge and meaning; teacher does not just into the empty minds of the learners,
“tell” or dictate but asks learners for rather knowledge is constructed by
knowledge they construct and meaning of learners through an active, mental
lesson process of development, learners are
the builders and creators of meaning
and knowledge. Their minds are not
empty instead their minds are full of
ideas waiting to be midwife by the
teachers with their skillful facilitating
skills. Teachers provides students with
data or experiences that allow them to
hypothesize, predict , manipulate
objects, pose questions, research,
investigate, imagine and invent. The
constructivist classroom is interactive.
It promotes dialogical exchange of ideas
among learners and between teacher
and learners.

ANALYZE

1. Based on your findings and observations in Activity 16.1 and Activity 16.2,
which philosophies of education are dominant in Philippine basic schools? Why
do you say so?
 Filipino Pre-service Teachers, according to the data had a high level
of progressivism educational philosophy as well as a high level of
existentialist and reconstructionism. They also show a strong
dedication to postmodernism and existentialism as ideologies
2. If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more attention
to, what should that be and why?
 I believe in progressivism because a competent teacher knows and
understands children, their development, and how they learn. I'm
aware that children actively acquire and change their own
knowledge depending on previous experiences and learning. I
recognize that not all pupils study in the same manner or at the
same pace. I believe it is my responsibility as a teacher to accurately
diagnose pupils' interests, aptitude, and past knowledge. Then I have
to come up with learning activities that will both challenge and allow
each student to think and improve.
