People

SPARK Your Interest


Episode 3 provides an opportunity to observe how differences in gender, racial, culture
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 learner’s needs toward effective teaching and learning.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Episode, I must be 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 learners’ diverse needs
and background.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


Here are principles and concepts relevant to this episode:
1. Principles of Development

a. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as at
uneven rates across different areas of the child’s functioning. (NAEYC 2019).
b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to achieve
at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they have many
opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.

c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match the


learning content, activities and assessment to the different characteristics, abilities,
interests, and needs of the learners.

2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners:

a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences


b. Learners’ linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents
d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation,
chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or
disasters, child abuse, child labor.

Learning Episode 3: Focus on Gender, Needs, Strengths, Interests, Experiences Language, Race,
Culture, Religion, Socio-economic Status, Difficult Circumstances, and Indigenous People
Field Study 1 (Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment)

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

Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:


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

3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples


A young teacher’s approach to indigenous peoples start with a keen awareness
of one’s own identity, including one’s belief and culture practices. Through serious
reflection one may realize that the self is a product of all the influences of key people in
one’s life and the community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous
group carry with them their beliefs, views and culture 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 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 like you have
discussed indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country
has about 110 ethno-linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao, some in
Northern Luzon and fewer in the Visayas, (UNDP Philippines, 2010). They
represent about 10-20% of our total population. There are two big indigenous
peoples group which have several smaller ethnic groups within them, the non-
muslim groups called the Lumads in Mindanao, and the Igorots in Northern
Luzon. Among others, we have the Badjaos, Ati and Tumandok, Mangyans, and
Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act, recognizes and
protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and indigenous
peoples (IP). Our country was admired by other nations for enacting this law.
However, years later, so much still has to be done to imrpve the lives of millions
of people from indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis, 2017)
c. Guided by RA 8371, in 2015 DepEd issued DO 32, s, 2015. Adopting the
Indigenous Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework. Most useful
for you as a future teacher to remember are the 5 Key Elements of an
Indigenous Peoples Education Curriculum (DO 32, s, 2015 enclosure, pp. 15-
18).

1. Curriculum Design, Competencies and Content. Interfacing the


national curriculum with Indigenous Knowledge systems and practices
(IKSPs) and Indigenous Learning systems(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 institutions.
b. Includes and respects the community’s expression of spirituality as
part of the curriculum context.

Field Study 1 (Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment)

d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengthens and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and


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

OBSERVATION REPORT

Name of the School Observed: Antique Integrated School


School Address: San Jose De Buena Vista, Antique
Date of Visit: September 9-10, 2024

This classroom observation reveals a dynamic primarily


focused on individual student engagement with assigned
activities, with limited interaction between students. While
the teacher interacts equally with all students, there is a
noticeable absence of peer collaboration or support. The
classroom environment is characterized by a lack of
consensus on environmental preferences, particularly
regarding lighting, creating potential for discomfort. A
contrast in behavior is observed between students seated at
the front and back of the classroom, with the former
exhibiting a range of disruptive behaviors and the latter
generally maintaining a quieter demeanor. Furthermore,
students who seek assistance from the teacher often exhibit
a reluctance to complete the assigned tasks, potentially due
to a lack of motivation or perceived difficulty. Outside the
classroom, student interaction is limited due to parental
supervision, restricting opportunities for social grouping
based on age, gender, or shared interests. Two students,
exhibiting solitary behaviors, demonstrate potential
communication challenges and sensitivity to physical
contact, requiring further attention and support.

Learning Episode 3: Focus on Gender, Needs, Strengths, Interests, Experiences Language, Race,
Culture, Religion, Socio-economic Status, Difficult Circumstances, and Indigenous People
Field Study 1 (Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment)

The observed classroom presented a traditional layout with desks arranged in neat rows facing the front,
a whiteboard for instruction, and a large smart TV used for both educational content and rewards. The
teacher's table, adorned with lesson plans, student work, and personal items, reflected a busy and
personalized learning environment. The teacher demonstrated a playful and engaging approach,
incorporating singing, dancing, and energizers into the learning process. However, the students
exhibited behaviors indicative of a lack of focus and classroom management challenges, including
shouting, inattention, and a short attention span. While the teacher's efforts to create a fun and
interactive environment were evident, the classroom dynamics suggested a need for clearer
expectations, consistent consequences for disruptive behavior, and more structured learning activities to
promote sustained engagement and academic progress. The student who covered her ears when she
heard a noise might have sensory sensitivities, highlighting the need for individual support and
classroom adjustments.

ANALYZE
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationship and interactions in the
classroom. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the
leader, a mascot/joker an attention seeker, a little, doubter/pessimist?
What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their behavior?
2. Is there anyone you observed who appear left out? Are students who appear
“different?” Why do they appear different? Are they accepted or rejected by the
others? How is this shown?
What does the teacher do to address issues like this?
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual
differences of the student?
4. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity in the
classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?

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 learner?

•Observing this classroom, I felt a mix of energy and unease. The teacher's enthusiasm and playful
approach were infectious, creating a lively atmosphere. It was clear they were trying to connect with the
students and make learning fun. However, the students' behavior, characterized by shouting,
inattention, and a short attention span, painted a different picture. While the teacher's efforts to create a
fun and interactive environment were evident, the lack of focus and classroom management challenges
made it difficult to perceive a sense of oneness or unity. The students' diverse behaviors and the
teacher's struggles to maintain control created a fragmented learning experience.

The student who covered her ears highlighted the need for individual support and adjustments. This
classroom, while filled with good intentions, needed a balance between fun and structure to create a
truly effective learning environment.I believe that a more structured approach, combined with clear
expectations and consistent consequences for disruptive behavior, could help foster a greater sense of
unity and focus among the students. This would allow the teacher's enthusiasm to shine through and
create a more productive learning experience for everyone.

OBSERVATION REPORT

Name of the School Observed:

School Address:

Date of Visit:

The classroom observation reveals a diverse range of abilities and


learning styles among the students. Some students demonstrate
independence and eagerness to engage, while others exhibit a
lack of focus and require additional support. The teacher's
insights confirm the diversity of needs within the classroom,
highlighting the need for individualized approaches to learning.
The teacher's playful and engaging methods, while encouraging,
seem to struggle to maintain focus and address the diverse
learning needs of the students. The observation will focus on the
special needs teacher's methods for addressing the individual
learning needs of students in their class, particularly in the context
of behavioral management. This will involve analyzing the
teacher's strategies for creating a positive and supportive learning
environment, implementing behavior management techniques, and
differentiating instruction to meet the diverse needs of students
with disabilities. The goal is to understand how the teacher
effectively addresses behavioral challenges while fostering a
sense of inclusion and promoting academic success for all
students.

Field Study 1 (Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment)

ANALYZE
1. Did your observation match the information given by the teacher?
•Yes, the observation largely aligns with the information provided by the teacher.

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.
•The classroom exhibits a range of ability levels, with some students demonstrating
independence and others requiring additional support. To effectively differentiate
instruction, the teacher should implement strategies such as tiered assignments,
small group instruction, and individualized learning plans to address the unique needs
of each learner.

3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in
abilities. How did the students respond to the teacher? Did the teacher use
differentiated instruction? If yes, describe how:
•The teacher employed a variety of methods to address the students' diverse abilities,
including playful engagement and encouragement. While most students responded
respectfully once called upon, their initial lack of attentiveness suggests a need for more
targeted strategies. The observation did not indicate that the teacher employed
differentiated instruction, highlighting a potential area for improvement in meeting the
individual learning needs of the students.

REFLECT
1. Recall the time when you were in elementary or high school. Recall the high and
low achievers in your class. How did your teacher deal with differences in
abilities? Was your teacher effective?

•Reflecting on my own school years, I experienced a significant shift in my academic


performance. While I excelled in elementary school, earning honors, I found myself
struggling in high school. This transition brought about a new perspective on how
teachers addressed differences in abilities. My elementary teachers, accustomed to a
more homogeneous group, primarily focused on providing enrichment opportunities
for high achievers while offering additional support to those who needed it. However,
in high school, the diverse range of abilities became more pronounced, and my
teachers often struggled to cater to everyone's needs effectively.

2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to meet the needs of
the learners?

•In God's perfect timing and if He wills it, I aspire to be an effective teacher. To achieve this, I believe I
will need a deep well of patience and understanding to meet the diverse needs of learners. Empathy
and compassion will be crucial for connecting with each student and fostering a sense of belonging in
the classroom. I will strive to be a lifelong learner, constantly seeking new knowledge and strategies to
enhance my teaching practice. I will rely on my faith to guide me, trusting that He provide the wisdom
and strength to make a positive impact on the lives of my students.
