Experiencing the Teaching- Learning Process _____________________________________________________________________________________ PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING Name of FS Student: Ruschelle L. Cossid Course: BSED – ENGLISH Year & Section: 2nd Year Resource Teacher: Mrs. Rowena Magdayao Date: July 8, 2014 Cooperating School Digos City National High School My Target While I observethree different classes, I will be able to identify applications of the principles of learning in the teaching-learning process. FS2 22 2S 2 2 Episode 1
My Tool As I observer a class, I will use the Observation Sheet for a more focused observation. Principles of Learning Teaching Behaviour of the Teacher/ Learning Behaviour of the Learner as Proof of the Application of Learning 1. Learning is an experience which occurs inside the learner and is activated by the learner. Sample 1. Teacher letsthelearners do thelearning activity E.g. Pupil writes letter A instead of Teacher writing for them. 2. Learning is thediscovery of thepersonal meaning and relevance of ideas. 2. The teacher give some sentences or topic then she told the students to write their own ideas or thoughts about the topic. The students wrote their personal understanding about the topic and what they wrote must be relevant to the idea that they mean to express.

3. Learning is a consequence of experience. 3. As I observed the classroom, the teacher let her students wrote their own understanding of their chosen line in the song. They wrote how they feel about the line and what are their experiences that they can relate to the line and after that, they can relate to the line and after that, they wrote their learning/lessons of the said experiences. 4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative process. 4. The teacher grouped them into 6 groups and after that the teacher gave them their topic that they were going to discuss and after that the students now share their own ideas about their topic. The learners are very cooperative in their discussing, they asked, they share, and they suggest ideas that you can see in their faces that they’re really paying attention to their tasks and with that learning happens.
5. Learning is an evolutionary process. 5. Learning is like a step-by-step process. A learner doesn’t directly learn abstract ideas if he/she doesn’t have a foundation of all his/her learning. A learner must first know those concrete things/learning before proceeding to the abstract. As I observed the classroom, the learners are first taught what are the things that they think or what comes to their mind if the teacher will say “Brochure”, then after that the teacher discusses what a brochure means thengivesdifferent types of brochures then after learning what a brochure is all about, thelearners are now assigned to make their own brochure. 6. Learning is sometimes a painful process. 6. As I observed the classroom, the teacher asks some questions. The teacher called someone to answer and the boy the answer the question confidently but his answer is wrong. All of his classmates are laughing at him and they even say negative about the boy. Hearing those from his classmates, the boy sit down and I can see in his face that he was hurt but he just hide it with his big smile pretending that heis okay. When theteacher noticed that the class is getting noisy, she ordered the students to quiet and stop bashing
their classmate because everyone is not perfect. Everyone commits mistakes. 7. One of the richest resources for the learning is the learner himself. 7. Theteacher asked theclass about what can they say about poetry. One student raised his hand and answered the question that he almost consumes 6 minutes just answering one question. Who can blame him? I thinkhe is just smart and also in the other hand, she doesn’t interrupt the boy’s long answer because she know that the boy was trying to express all his ideas about poetry, he thought of all his prior knowledge about the topic and the boy expressed it all on his own words so the student is getting all he answered from himself, his prior knowledge about the topic. 8. The process of learning is emotional as well as intellectual. 8. When the teacher asked question to one of her students about something to do with her life, the students about something to do with her life, the student got emotional when sharing her sad past experiences and while she is talking, all attention is on her so everybody is really listening. Hearing those words from the student, the teacher asked everyone what learning they get from the student’s sharing, then after that most of the students raised their hands to share what
they’ve learn. In this case, learning is not only emotional but also intellectual. 9. The processes of problem solving and learning are highly unique and individual. 9. The teacher gave them a topic and withthat topic,studentsneedto construct a paragraph about it. It will be the learners’ choice of how will he/she wrote a descriptive, narrative, persuasive, informative,expository, etc. paragraph?It depends on the learner how he/she will writeor what styles will he/she use tomake his/her output impressive and good. My Analysis 1. What is the impact of the Resource Teacher’s observance of these principles on the teaching- learning process and on the learner? The impact of the Resource teacher’s observance of the principles of teaching-learning process is the learners are more engage in classroom activities and it develops their capabilities not just cognitive but also affective and psychomotor. It makesthelearners learn effectively by applying all thesedifferent principles of teaching. 2. Which learning principle was applied most? 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 and ideas and then after the discussion, they will now come up an answer in case they will present their output. 3. Which learning principles was applied least or not at all 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. After it, the teacher then corrects the wrong answer of the student. 4. Do you agree with these principles of learning? Or have you discovered that they are not always correct? I agree with all the principles of learning because as what I had observed, the principles that are applied by the teacher in her teaching are effective and I can see that the students are learning as well as they’re involvement in the classroom increased. I can see that they are motivated and interested of their lesson and that is because of thestrategyand technique applied by the teacherin using the different kinds of principles of learning. My Reflection My reflections on my observations of my Resource Teacher’s observance of these principles. Did my Resource Teachers adhere to these principles? Based on what I had observed, the Resource teacher really adheres to the different learning principles. Even though some principles are not clearly shown on the way she teach, still I can see that her teaching is effective because of the principles of learning that she applied together with the strategies and methods she used. She grouped the students, she let her students do tasks individually and after that present it to the class, she let the students answer her questions based on theirprior knowledge, experiences and theirown meaning/words and also she just not teach the students intellectually but also emotionally. Seeing how these things are applied, I can say that the Resource teacher definitely shown to me what a real and true teacher is and with that I can see that the learners are learning effectively and productively in the class. 5. Lessons I have learned from my observations on the classroom application of the principles of learning. I have learned that applying these principles of learning is really important in making the classroom or the teaching-learning process to be effective and productive. I learned that students learned when they are engaged in a collaborative task, if they answered based on their past experiences and also if they are taught not just intellectually but emotionally. All of these learning principles are really a great help to improve and increase the learning of the students.
My Portfolio Principles of Learning in My Own Words 1. Learning is gradual.It is a step-by-step process. 2. No two individuals learn in the same way. 3. Learning is not only thinking but also feeling. 4. Learning is a lifelong process. 5. Learning is sometimes a complicated process. 6. Learning involves interactions. 7. Learning is a product of a good teaching. 8. Learning involvesrewards and punishments. 9. Learning has different styles.
