School Address: MATACON POLANGUI ALBAY
Date of Visit: October 11, 2023
The Grade 7 students, whose ages vary from 11 – 12 , were engaged in tasks such as seat works when
I observed them. I noticed that they have a variety of personalities: some are extremely quiet and
focused on their work, some are talking with their classmates while working, and a few are fond of
roaming around the classroom. The overall number of students in the class is 30, with 14 boys and 16
girls. As I studied the various traits they exhibit, The students are capable of working independently and
do not require the support of their homeroom teacher unless they have certain questions that they do not
understand. Students’ attention spans are sufficient, as is their patience when working on their
assignments. On their ability to concentrate, I noticed that they are mature enough to follow the
instructions given to them. On their listening skills, I noticed that they are mature enough to follow the
instructions given to them. On their ability to destruct to some ideas such as playing and having their
own discussion with their peer group, they can still finish their assigned task.
ANALYZE
.
1. Identify the person who plays key roles in the relationships and interactions in the classrooms. What
roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the leader, a mascot/joker, an attention
seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/pessimist?
The teacher and the students both play essential roles in classroom interactions. The teacher serves as
a facilitator, while the students serve as learners. Some students are attention seekers, attempting to
attract the attention of both their teacher and their classmates. There are students that look to be the
leader and the little teacher; they are the ones who teach their peers who are new to the topic. To break
up the boredom of the classroom, the teacher cracks jokes.
What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their behavior?
What influences them to assume these roles are their peers, their belief that they would be better to be
this way, people’s reaction that somehow satisfy them and their teachers’ meaningful feedback.
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?
There was no student who I’ve observe being left out or different. The students celebrate differences
and create bond with each other.
4. What does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual differences of the
students?
One of the factors, as far as I can tell, is their academic level. Students who are focused on their
studies are gathered together in one group, while boys who are a little bit naughty are also grouped
together.
REFLECT
1. How did you feel being in the classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity among the
learners and between the teacher and the learner?
As I was observing the classroom, although the students are individually different from each
other, their unity regarding acceptance and appreciation of each other had made me feel
comfortable. How the teacher manages diversity in the classroom is a sign that she is very effective
in developing teaching strategies that promotes awareness and creating connection with diverse
cultures. Evidently, the students are empathetic and open-minded about diverse backgrounds
which helped them understand each other well. Students demonstrating confidence and
independence in the class is also a sign that the teacher is effective in fostering cultural sensitivity
in the classroom. The way they care for each other and how openly they communicate with their
.
teacher and how they become united in collaboration activities made me feel a sense of oneness in
the classroom.

As I’ve noted, there are individual disparities among the students, not only in terms of physical characteristics but
also in terms of their skills. Some students have the potential to be good leaders and active learners who participate
in class, while others are passive learners and absentees. The difference between high and low achievers is that the
high achiever is active and involved in discussions and group activities, whereas the low achiever simply sits in his
chair and does not participate. The teacher employs diversified learning activities so that slow learners may
participate and high achievers don’t become bored with things that they think are simple. She also gives them
exercises that are challenging.
ANALYZE
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 class is composed of diverse students with different levels of abilities. These abilities vary in terms
of their current knowledge and skills, Some lower-ability students are struggling to understand the
lesson while others who can independently learn by themselves are considered as higher-ability
students. Having these kinds of students in the class need effective strategies to respond to their
varying needs. For example, the teacher may use a differentiated instruction through structuring his/her
lesson plan in various phases such as review phase, inquiry phase, comprehension phase and
application phase.
3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in abilities. How did the
student respond to the teacher? Did the teacher use differentiate instruction? If yes, describe how.
As I have observed, the teacher uses multiple means of presenting the topic. She utilizes various tools
and materials to aid her discussion such as video, textbooks and multimedia. She also provides
different ways for students to express their learning such as writing, art or presentation. In addition, she
allows them to work with their peers for an effective way of learning and employs performance-based
activities and authentic assessment.
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?
During elementary in Grade 6, I remember some of my classmates were still struggling how to
read fluently in English language. What my teacher did was, she assigned a study buddy for each
student who’s having hard time to read and let their study buddy help them. As one of the study
buddies, I helped my classmate in reading a book every recess or lunch time. My teacher constantly
monitors us, and the progress that my classmates are making. For me, it is very effective. She helps
the low achiever students improve their weakness while letting the high achievers share their
knowledge and skills through assisting their classmates.
2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to meet the needs of the learners?
Focus on collaboration along with the belief that this is more effective than letting the students
learn alone. Flexibility and Adaptability in changing and evolving environment. Empathetic teacher who
understands what her students backgrounds, needs and interest. Lifelong learners who continuously
seeks for what is best for students.
.
I have done my observation virtually by watching documentaries about the education of the Indigenous
people since I don’t think there are Indigenous group of people that’s close to our area. I have watched
a video in YouTube entitled “Pangarap Koy Dinggin”, it is a documentary video of the Indigenous
People or the Aetas that’s located in Tarlac. The Aetas in Sitio Flora, Maruglu, Capas in Tarlac are
comprised of Kulots, or pure Aetas of a Mag- Antsi ancestry. The teacher there said that he would start
to travel and walk at 6AM every morning to go to the school that is situated in the mountains. The Aetas
in the place are left with no choice also but to walk for five hours and 6 hours when riding a makeshift
cart pulled by a carabao as a means of transportation.
I have seen that the class are very interactive and participative in every classroom lessons. I can see
that they are very determined to learn despite of inadequacy of learning materials and aids. I also
noticed that the teachers are resourceful, they are doing the best that they can in order to provide a
quality education to their students. They are following the indigenized curriculum. The main goal of the
IP students in Tarlac on why they pursue learning is for them to not be deceived by other people. By
watching the video I have learned that no matter how eager and effective a teacher is, the problem of
not being able to provide their basic needs like food influences their performance and ability to
understand and comprehend during classroom discussions.

What do you think can still be done to promote and uphold the indigenous people knowledge systems and
practices and rights in schools?
Working closely with indigenous communities, mainstream education systems and institutions can
create more inclusive, culturally rich, and effective educational experiences that empower indigenous
students while preserving their heritage and knowledge. This not only benefits indigenous peoples but
also contributes to a more diverse and enriched society as a whole.
Promoting and upholding indigenous peoples' knowledge systems, practices, and rights in schools is
crucial for cultural preservation, diversity, and equitable education. Here are some additional actions
that can be taken to further support these objectives:
Culturally Relevant Curriculum: Develop and implement a curriculum that respects and includes
indigenous knowledge, history, and perspectives. This should go beyond tokenism and ensure that
indigenous cultures are integrated into various subjects.
Indigenous Language Programs: Support the preservation and revitalization of indigenous languages
by offering language programs and bilingual education in indigenous languages. This helps in
transmitting linguistic and cultural knowledge.
Teacher Training: Provide comprehensive training for teachers on how to integrate indigenous
knowledge and practices into their teaching. Teachers should understand and respect the diverse
cultural backgrounds of their students.
.
Collaboration with Indigenous Elders and Community Leaders: Establish partnerships with indigenous
elders and community leaders to facilitate knowledge sharing and cultural exchange within schools.
Indigenous Teachers: Recruit and retain more indigenous teachers who can serve as role models for
students and bring cultural insights into the classroom.
Cultural Centers: Establish cultural centers or spaces within schools where indigenous art, history, and
traditions can be showcased and celebrated.
Community Involvement: Encourage active involvement of indigenous communities in school decision-
making processes, including curriculum development and school policies.
Traditional Knowledge Transmission: Support traditional methods of knowledge transmission, such as
storytelling, oral history, and cultural practices, both in and outside the classroom.
Access to Resources: Ensure that indigenous schools and students have access to the necessary
resources, including books, technology, and educational materials.
Legislation and Policy Advocacy: Advocate for policies and legislation that protect and promote the
rights of indigenous peoples in education, including the right to maintain and develop their own
educational systems.
Intercultural Education: Promote intercultural education, where indigenous and non-indigenous
students learn about each other's cultures, fostering mutual respect and understanding.
Monitoring and Evaluation: Continuously assess the impact of initiatives aimed at promoting indigenous
knowledge systems and practices in schools to make data-driven improvements.
Awareness Campaigns: Raise awareness among the broader population about the importance of
indigenous knowledge and the need for its preservation and integration into education.
Respect for Sacred Sites: Show respect for indigenous sacred sites and incorporate this into
educational practices, teaching students about the cultural and spiritual significance of these places.
Conflict Resolution: Implement conflict resolution and anti-discrimination programs to address any
cultural misunderstandings or conflicts that may arise within the school environment.

2. What did you appreciate most from your experiences in visiting the school with indigenous learners?
Why?
I admire the dedication of the three teachers that is assigned in the Flora Primary School. I have seen
their struggles and challenges that they’ve encountered as they travel to the school which is situated in
the mountains. The way they do their best and utilize at the outmost possible way the resources that
.
are available in the school to still provide the education IP learners deserve. I also appreciate the
students’ effort to pursue education and still learn despite the hindrances in life that they are facing.
With the principles of individual differences in mid, what methods and strategies will you remember in the future
to ensure that you will be able to meet the need of both the high and low achievers in your class? Make a
collection of strategies in how to address the student’s different ability levels.
Use a variety of teaching methods and styles, such as direct instruction, flipped classroom, kina
esthetic learning, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, exploratory learning, game-based
learning, and students-centered learning, to match the students’ multiple intelligences: verbal-linguistic,
logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, auditory, bodily kina esthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and
naturalistic intelligences.
Make use of a variety of learning tools, such as textbooks, magazines, newspapers, journals, research
papers, and other written materials; photographs, videos, documentaries, gifs, and other digital
materials; internet resources include search engines such as Google and Encarta, as well as online
websites, articles, and e-books; actual experience includes visits to museums, other schools, science
centers, galleries, and work immersion, among other activities.
Provide an inclusive learning atmosphere in which all students, regardless of their individual
differences, feel welcome and cared for.
Allows for the use of both Filipino and English in recitations and question-and-answer discussions so
that all students have an opportunity to contribute their thoughts, learning, and opinions.
Individual, group, and pair-work activities and tasks for subject-related activities and tasks so that
students can engage, communicate, build relationships, and learn from their classmates.
Pay great attention in class to the poor achievers and perform counseling to understand their concerns,
difficulties, and even hindrances to their learning focus so that you may handle it as a teacher.

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 teacher links with the community to
maximize the learning and development of students.
OBSERVE
Read the following carefully before you begin to observe/interview. Then write your observation
report on the space provided.
The learner
1. Make the general observation of the learner. Describe him/her in each of the domains of
development:
Physical-body built and height (thin, chubby, underweight, overweight), level of
physical activity (fast, slow, lethargic, active etc.)
.
Social-interaction with teachers and classmates (loner, shy, sociable, friendly, gets
into fights, liked by others etc.)
Emotional moods temperament, cries easily, loses temper, happy, shows enthusiasm,
excited, indifferent, etc.)
Cognitive (appears to understand lessons, copes with the lesson, excels, lags behind,
shows reasoning skills, turns in assignments and requirements, etc)
After you have gathered all necessary data. Write the learner’s development profile using the outline below.

.
Physical Development
The child is in excellent health and does not have any significant health issues. His height is perfectly
typical for his age.
Social Development
He is friendly enough because he plays with his friends and mingles to his mother and siblings.
Emotional-Moral Development
He can’t express his emotions and he can’t control his emotions but he is not afraid to what’s on his mind.
Cognitive Development
He performs well in class but sometimes he is having a small chitchat with his classmates that distracts his
attention from the lesson.
Findings
In my findings into the child, I found out that he is properly cared for, despite the fact that his parents are
strict.
Conclusions
In conclusion, it is evident that a strong family background and upbringing are fundamental in developing
outstanding qualities in individuals, encompassing physical, emotional, moral, and cognitive aspects. Families
provide the foundational support, values, and guidance that contribute to a person's holistic development. The
nurturing environment within families plays a pivotal role in shaping individuals into well-rounded and exceptional
human beings.
Recommendations
To support learners' development effectively, it's important to provide a well-rounded and supportive
educational environment. Encourage the development of cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills.
Promote a well-rounded education that goes beyond academics to include character education, emotional
intelligence, and physical well-being. Respect and appreciate the cultural diversity of your learners. Incorporate
diverse perspectives and materials in your teaching to create a more inclusive and culturally aware classroom.
Be attuned to learners' emotional well-being. Recognize the signs of stress, anxiety, or other mental health
issues and provide appropriate support or referrals.
ANALLYZE
Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile will help you answer the questions
here.
1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of parenting experienced by
the learner? Explain your answer.
.
I believe the learner is exposed to authoritative parenting. My observations indicate that the
parents establish clear and realistic expectations for their child. Additionally, I've noticed they
are nurturing parents who prioritize their children's well-being. Despite their employment, they
make an effort to stay involved in their children's education. They grant their child the liberty to
explore and learn from their mistakes.
2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family factors do you
think contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the learner in school?
I think that the family factor that contributes to the development and over-all adjustment of the
learner in school is the gentleness of the environment around the learner. I think because of it
the learner had always the time to be able to connect with others. Although sometimes he had
struggles on coping up with other learners who are reactive he was still able to socialize with
them in a way he was taught.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If yes, what
are these effects?
Indeed, the learner is impacted by the home-school interaction's communication. Knowing this
since our parents serve as our first educators, the lessons they impart to us will truly affect our
worldview and relationships with other people. It's important for the teacher when it comes to
issues that the learner is concerned about, teachers and parents should work together to devise
methods that will support the student both intellectually and emotionally personal.
4. How can the teacher partner with the community to contribute to the development and learning
of the student? Who are the people or which institutions can the teacher tap to seek advice
regarding the development and learning of students.
Extensive research and a wealth of empirical evidence affirm the critical role that
teachers play as the backbone of any society. They hold a pivotal position in shaping the
present and future generations, not merely as conveyors of knowledge, but as profound
influencers and role models. This essay will delve into the multifaceted importance of teachers
in our society, emphasizing their role as guides, dedicated mentors, and architects of
education, which ultimately catalyze both social and economic development. Teacher stand as
unwavering role models for the youth, exemplifying the values, behaviors, and principles that
we aspire to instill in our upcoming generations. They embody the dedication, commitment, and
passion for learning that we wish to see in our children. When teachers lead by example, they
inspire their students to follow suit, thereby nurturing a culture of hard work, integrity, and
lifelong learning. Moreover, teachers are more than just purveyors of facts and knowledge; they
are indispensable sources of guidance and support for young individuals. As students navigate
the often complex journey of personal and academic development, teachers serve as beacons
of wisdom, offering advice, encouragement, and a listening ear. They provide a safe space for
students to express their concerns, seek clarification, and discover their true potential. The true
power of teachers, however, lies in their capacity to impart the gift of education. By equipping
students with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in an ever-evolving world, they not only
empower individuals but also contribute to the socio-economic development of nations. Well-
educated citizens are better equipped to make informed decisions, participate in the workforce,
and drive innovation and progress. Consequently, teachers become the architects of a
society's intellectual and economic advancement. Furthermore, teachers are instrumental in
fostering a love for learning. By making education engaging and relevant, they inspire a thirst
for knowledge in their students. This curiosity, when nurtured, becomes the driving force behind
.
REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you experience? How did it
affect you?
Throughout my life, from childhood to the present day, I've noticed that the parenting style I've
experienced is primarily authoritarian. My parents' goal has always been to raise me into a responsible
and contributing member of society as I grow up. It has been a challenging task for them to determine
the most effective parenting approach to help me achieve this goal. Their strictness has led me to
identify their approach as 'authoritarian parenting.' They have established a multitude of rules and
respond to rule violations with forms of discipline that involve raising their voices, assigning blame, or
instilling fear. I've come to understand that these methods were employed with the intention of molding
me into a strong and morally sound individual, which has ultimately contributed to my personal growth
and the development of a better version of myself.
2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How can you work well
with the parents? How can you help them? How can they help you?
As a future educator, I want to promote a child's involvement in both the social and academic aspects
of school life in order to strengthen the bond between the home and the school. In order to effectively
interact with parents, I will extend an invitation to parent-only events or seminars and stress that it is our
shared responsibility to support the educational endeavors of their children. I'll help them deal with
complaints and grievances, as well as recognize and handle student concerns, so they can provide
their child with clear guidelines. In this approach, they can assist me in understanding their
perspectives on people as educators and parents. The success of a child's education is a shared
responsibility between teachers and parents. Establishing effective home-school collaboration creates a
holistic support system that benefits the child's academic, social, and emotional growth. As a future
teacher, I am committed to fostering a collaborative and open relationship with parents, recognizing the
value they bring to the educational journey. By working together, we can provide the best possible
foundation for the child's future success.

Learning
FS 1 Environment
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.
The classroom climate that is conducive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet business-like. It is a
classroom where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the following are observed:
Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear.
Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures.
Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for such are
communicated.
Classroom processes are democratic
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.
12 to 14 years old
3. Focus on their behavior. Are they able to manage their own behavior?
Most students can’t manage their own behavior. But, there are also some students who
act responsibly and can manage their own behavior.
ANALYZE
Analyze and answer these questions on observed classroom management practices. It is also good to ask the
teacher for additional information, so you can validate your observation. Write your notes below; 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?
The classroom is set up in the traditional Philippine high-school style, with a blackboard in front of
the room and a table in the front center. The row of seats takes up the entire room, leaving barely a
few inches for other tasks. At the back of the room, there is mini book shelf where students can store
their stuff. On the left side of the classroom, near the window, there is a little cabinet. It’s where you’ll
find some of the previous students’ old projects and work. The majority of the wall displays are gone
because of the new order from DepEd. Despite the fact that it does not support an active learning
environment, the way it is organized encourages good learning among students.
2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these rules reinforce
positive behavior?
Raise your hand if you want to speak.
No talking during classes.
Come to class early.
The success of a student’s learning is reflected in the establishment of classroom norms. Students
take responsibility for their behaviors, which leads to a clear understanding of their tasks.
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?
The teacher claimed that with the help of the classroom president and a voting procedure, the kids
participated in creating the rules for the classroom. Participating in the process of creating rules
increases the likelihood that students will follow them positively and develop into disciplined,
responsible adults.
.
4. What are the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher? (Prayer, Attendance, Assignment of
monitors, Warm-Up Activities, etc.) How are they done?
As the class begins, the teacher extends a warm welcome to everyone and asks the student
representative pray the opening prayer. Next, she asks how everyone is doing. Students usually
claim that they are doing well. After settling everybody in, she started getting ready for her
presentation (laptop, projector). By calling the students by last name, she also maintains track of
their attendance. She continues the lecture with an inspiring exercise after that.
5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this help in managing
the class?
The seating arrangements are based on the learners collaborative group that helps them to do a
task collaboratively.
7. If a learner is not following instruction or is off-task, what does the Resource Teacher do? Describe
the behavior strategy used.
Some students ignore directions, especially when working on their assignments. The teacher still
accepts their work, but she warns them to follow the directions since she won't accept it if they
repeat the same mistake. Students are encouraged to learn from their mistakes and follow the
teacher's instructions as a result.
8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (behavior strategies)
Resolve issues in a nice manner. She doesn’t reprimand them; instead, she speaks gently to
them. Resolving issues in a gentle and constructive manner is a commendable approach.
Instead of reprimanding, a more compassionate and effective way to address concerns is by
speaking gently. This approach not only promotes understanding and cooperation but also
maintains a positive and respectful atmosphere. It allows for open communication and a space
where issues can be resolved collaboratively, focusing on finding solutions rather than assigning
blame.
Providing incentives or rewards to encourage learners to work better is an effective motivation
strategy that can lead to improved performance and increased engagement.

Enforcing positive discipline in the classroom is essential for effective classroom management. Even
when students generally exhibit good behavior, unexpected situations can test a teacher's patience and
disrupt the learning environment. Positive discipline is a valuable tool for addressing challenges in a
way that maintains a positive and supportive atmosphere for learners. positive discipline is a valuable
approach to classroom management that benefits both teachers and students. It creates an
environment where students feel valued, develop positive self-esteem, and are more likely to exhibit
desirable behaviors. It also empowers them to become responsible, critical thinkers who make informed
and thoughtful decisions. By focusing on positive discipline, teachers can create a nurturing and
conducive learning environment where students thrive academically and socially.
ANALYZE
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learner’s behavior?
Classroom organization and established routines play a significant role in shaping students' behavior
and overall learning experience. They have several positive effects on students' development, which
include:
In conclusion, classroom organization and routines have a wide range of favorable impacts on
students. They promote responsibility, efficient learning management, self-esteem, behavior regulation,
positive relationships, self-control, and academic success. By providing structure and predictability in
the classroom, teachers create an environment where students can thrive academically and develop
valuable life skills.
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?
When designing classroom organization and routines, teachers should consider various theories and
principles to create an effective and conducive learning environment. Here are some key
considerations:
Developmental Theories: Understand the developmental stages of your students. Apply theories such
as Piaget's stages of cognitive development or Erikson's psychosocial stages to tailor your classroom
organization and routines to their age-appropriate needs and abilities.
Social and Emotional Learning (SEL): Incorporate principles from SEL frameworks, which emphasize
the importance of emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills in students'
development. Design routines that promote self-awareness, social awareness, responsible decision-
making, relationship skills, and self-management.
Cognitive Load Theory: Consider cognitive load theory, which focuses on the mental effort required for
learning. Design routines that minimize extraneous cognitive load and maximize germane load to
facilitate learning
Multiple Intelligences: Acknowledge Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, recognizing that
students have diverse strengths and learning preferences. Create an inclusive classroom organization
that allows for various ways of demonstrating understanding and participating in activities.
Constructivism: Embrace the principles of constructivism, where students actively construct knowledge
through their experiences. Design a classroom organization that encourages hands-on, inquiry-based
learning and allows for student autonomy and exploration.
Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD): Keep in mind Vygotsky's ZPD theory. Design routines that
support students' learning in their ZPD, providing appropriate scaffolding and guidance when needed
while gradually promoting independence.
Classroom Management Theories: Familiarize yourself with classroom management theories, such as
Canter's Assertive Discipline or Wong's The First Days of School. These theories provide insights into
creating a structured, respectful, and well-managed classroom environment.
.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? In motivating
students? Why were they effective?
Providing positive reinforcement, such as praise, rewards, or recognition, for desired behaviors has
been effective in managing behavior and motivating students. This strategy works because it
reinforces the connection between positive behavior and positive outcomes.
Clear Expectations: Establishing clear and consistent expectations for behavior in the classroom
helps manage behavior by providing students with guidelines for appropriate conduct. When
students know what is expected of them, they are more likely to meet those expectations.
Classroom Rules and Consequences: Setting up a structured system of rules and consequences
helps manage behavior. When students understand the consequences of their actions, they are
more inclined to make responsible choices.
Engaging Lessons: Designing lessons that are interactive, interesting, and relevant to students'
lives can motivate them to participate and engage in learning. When lessons are enjoyable and
meaningful, students are more likely to be motivated.
Intrinsic Motivation: Fostering intrinsic motivation by connecting learning to students' interests and
personal goals can be highly effective. When students see the value and relevance of what they
are learning, they are motivated to actively participate and excel.
Student Choice and Autonomy: Allowing students some degree of choice and autonomy in their
learning can increase motivation. When students have a say in what and how they learn, they feel
a sense of ownership and are more likely to be engaged.
Building Positive Relationships: Establishing positive teacher-student relationships is crucial. When
students feel valued, respected, and supported by their teacher, they are more motivated to behave
well and engage in learning.
Peer Collaboration: Encouraging collaboration and group work can motivate students. When they
work together with peers, they can experience a sense of community and shared learning, which
boosts motivation.
.
Goal Setting: Helping students set and track their academic and personal goals can be motivating.
When students have a clear vision of what they are working toward, they are more likely to stay
focused and engaged.
Differentiation: Tailoring instruction to meet the diverse needs and abilities of students can be
effective in motivating and managing behavior. When instruction is adapted to each student's level,
they are more likely to be engaged and on task.
The effectiveness of these strategies can be attributed to various factors, such as the alignment with
students' needs and motivations, the clear communication of expectations, and the establishment of a
positive and respectful learning environment. Successful strategies often cater to the individual and
collective needs of the students while promoting a sense of autonomy, responsibility, and self-efficacy.

In a few years from now, I see myself teaching junior high school pupils in my Araling Panlipunan class.
I will start my lesson with prayer because I find it to be very significant. I'll then ask them about their
happiness, general well-being, thoughts on our topic, and so forth. I can assess the current level of my
students' learning in my classes with the use of these questions. If they ever told me how they felt about
studying my subject, I could see what tactics I should use to suit their requirements very quickly. Then
there are the customary practices, like attendance, engaging in motivational activities, and having
sincere conversations interspersed with inquiries to verify understanding.
2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these rules?
Follow the directions - to remind them that things will go smoothly if they follow the directions.

Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following questions.
1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class? Why? Why not?
Yes, doing this would serve to remind students of their responsibilities during regular class time. It
also helps students maintain order and discipline in their study habits, even in the event of
occasional slip-ups.
2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented? Explain your answer.
Routines that were observed or applied in a systematic and consistent way included changing
between tasks, turning in assignments, submitting materials, asking for assistance, and taking part
in class activities. For these routines to be properly executed, the teacher must provide a great deal
of guidance.
REFLECT
In fact, it's noteworthy that nearly all of the established routines in our classroom are diligently followed
by our students. However, one particular aspect that stands out as more prevalent and valued is the
practice of working in pairs. This trend is unsurprising as college life places a heightened emphasis on
the pursuit of a deep and comprehensive understanding of subjects, which, in turn, demands
continuous collaboration and support from peers to navigate this critical phase of education
successfully. Moreover, there is another significant facet to consider – the absence of some students
during our scheduled class hours. This phenomenon has piqued my curiosity and led me to
contemplate the underlying reasons. While the specific causes may vary, it's safe to assume that
financial constraints and learning difficulties play a substantial role in this equation.
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
ANALYZE
1. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation of the rule?
.
More often than not, students who lack proper guidance or appear to be operating without clear
directives tend to display a higher degree of irresponsibility and are prone to making frequent mistakes.
It is in recognition of this reality that rules and guidelines are painstakingly crafted and enforced for the
student body. These rules are not merely a set of restrictions, but rather a blueprint for fostering a
brighter future by promoting discipline, accountability, and a sense of responsibility among students.
They serve as the compass guiding students toward a path of personal and academic growth, ensuring
that they navigate their educational journey with integrity and a greater likelihood of success.
REFLECT
Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher. Will you have the same rules? If
not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your answer.
Throughout my entire educational journey, I've encountered a consistent set of rules, a common thread that
connects my experience with those of my teachers and mentors. The true distinction lies not in the rules
themselves but in the manner in which they are put into practice. The effectiveness of regulations hinges on
their implementation, and this principle holds true universally. When rules are thoughtfully and rigorously
enforced, they elicit a high degree of compliance and contribute to a harmonious learning environment.
Conversely, when rules are haphazardly applied or disregarded, they often result in a lack of order and
discipline. It underscores the pivotal role that responsible implementation plays in ensuring that the regulations
are not just words on paper but practical guidelines that shape the educational experience.

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.
.
The resource teacher used a variety of strategies, and these strategies helped to improve classroom
management. Because, according to our resource teacher, if you, as a teacher, act as a role model for your
students and treat them with respect and authority, you will be able to successfully use these classroom
management strategies. The resource teacher's role in improving classroom management is invaluable, as they
bring a wealth of strategies and insights to the educational setting. These strategies, when applied effectively,
have the potential to transform the classroom environment for the better. As our resource teacher emphasized,
one of the fundamental principles in implementing these strategies is to act as a role model for students. By
demonstrating respect and authority in their interactions with students, teachers can set the tone for a well-
managed classroom. When students witness their teacher treating them with respect, they are more likely to
reciprocate with respectful behavior. This reciprocal dynamic forms the cornerstone of successful classroom
management, as it fosters a sense of trust, cooperation, and discipline. The resource teacher's guidance
underscores the significance of the teacher's demeanor and behavior in creating a positive classroom
atmosphere. When educators embody these qualities, they not only serve as effective role models but also lay
the foundation for the successful utilization of classroom management strategies, ultimately promoting a
conducive and productive learning environment."
2. What were not used by the Resource Teacher? Were these important? What should have been used
instead? Explain.
During our interview with our resource teacher, she stated that this classroom management is similar to what
she established in her own class, and that all of them are vital and useful, and that they have all been used.
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?
In order to effectively address the needs of a diverse range of learners, it is imperative that we employ a variety
of classroom management strategies. This approach entails a multifaceted effort to accommodate and support
individual differences among students. One crucial strategy involves ongoing evaluation to assess each
student's unique requirements, enabling educators to tailor their teaching methods and support accordingly.
Furthermore, creating opportunities for students to work in groups serves as a powerful tool for fostering
awareness of their individual distinctions. Collaborative learning encourages peer interaction and an
understanding of diverse perspectives, which can be instrumental in promoting an inclusive and supportive
classroom environment. Incorporating peer teaching and recognizing group achievements are additional
strategies that can have a positive impact on classroom dynamics. By empowering students to teach and learn
from each other, we not only enrich their learning experiences but also promote a sense of responsibility and
mutual respect. It is important to acknowledge that the realm of classroom management is dynamic, and as
such, it offers room for innovation and adaptation. As the educational landscape evolves, we must continuously
explore new strategies and approaches to enhance our classroom management techniques, ensuring that our
learning environments remain inclusive and conducive to the diverse needs of our students.

FS 1 Close Encounter
.
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 nee
ds 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 where different strategies can be used to achieved the learning
objectives or outcomes. There are many styles of writing a lesson plan, but the necessary parts of elements
such as (a) Learning Outcomes (b) Subject Matter (c) Teaching-Learning Strategies, and (d) Evaluation of
Assessment should always be included.
All of these elements should be aligned so that at the end of the teaching-learning episode,
learning will be achieved with the classroom teacher as a guide.
It’s time to look around. Discover what curriculum is operating in the school setting. Recall the types of
curriculum mentioned earlier. Can you spot where these are found? Lets do a hunting game!
1. What are the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum that you observed in the school?
It is a Student Centered approachwhere curriculum can be delivered through various modes, It
provides career guidance and readiness programs to help students make informed decisions about
their future educational and career paths.
3. What are the roles and responsibilities of the teachers that you observed in relation with the school
curriculum?
Their responsibilities is to ensure that students achieve the intended learning outcomes. Teachers
design assessments to measure student understanding and progress. They evaluate students'
work and provide feedback to help them improve. Teachers communicate regularly with students
and their parents or guardians about progress, challenges, and areas for improvement. They

on Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.
OBSERVE
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.
ANALYZE
Active learning is the learning principle that is applied most frequently. The instructor calls on every student to
pay attention and engage in class discussion. She advised students to enquire in order to learn more about the
subject. She also creates engaging and active learning activities for her students.
Least Applied
Collaborative work is the principle of learning that is used the least. It is not necessary for them to collaborate in
every activity that the teacher assigns. It’s also positive that they’ll work on their task individually. Everything in
the learning process should be adjusted so that each learner may work independently and collaboratively.
REFLECT
From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?
In my view, the paramount element of a student's education is active learning. Embracing a student-centered
approach that prioritizes engagement and encourages exploration is crucial. Unlike traditional learning, which
relies on a singular lecture format, active learning activities are indispensable. They prove to be more effective
in propelling the learning progress of all students.
OBSERVE
Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes were stated. Determine if the learning
outcome/s was/were achieved or not. Give evidence.
Write the learning outcomes stated in the lesson.
ANALYZE
Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused?
Certainly, establishing clear objectives that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound
(SMART) is instrumental in directing the lesson. These objectives ensure a focused and purposeful learning
process, engaging students across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Adhering to the SMART
pattern not only provides a clear direction in teaching but also aids in the effective organization and attainment

According to this theory, students actively create knowledge rather than merely absorbing it.
When students actively participate in the learning process, learning effectiveness is increased.
b) Inquiry-based
It’s a learning technique that stresses the learner’s role in the process rather than the teacher
telling students what they need to know. They are encouraged to explore and ask.
c) Developmentally appropriate – learning activities fit the developmental stage of children
It is a teaching approach in early childhood education in which teachers encourage the
development of their students.
d) Reflective
Similar to teaching, reflection is a cycle that needs to be repeated: evaluate how your own lessons
have affected students' learning, look into innovative teaching methods, put new concepts to the
test in the real world, and repeat.
e) Inclusive – No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.
Every student have access to a multitude of learning opportunities and can accomplish their
academic objectives in a welcoming environment.
f) Collaborative – Students work together.
It's an approach to teaching where students work in groups to enhance their learning through
mutual assistance. This approach will also help students work independently and cooperatively at
the same time.
g) Integrative – Lesson was multidisciplinary – e.g. In Science, Math concepts were taught.
This method of instruction involves the student applying prior knowledge and experiences to
impart new information.
ANALYZE
1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the test?
Relying solely on educating for mastery and testing may have potential drawbacks as it might not foster the
development of higher-order thinking skills. If students merely memorize information without attaining a
comprehensive understanding of the subject matter, their knowledge base may be weak. Higher-order thinking
skills, which involve more than basic data observation and memorization, could be neglected. Emphasizing a
more holistic approach that considers each learner's progress can contribute to the enhancement of critical
thinking skills.
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or student-centered?
Why?
If I were to teach again, I would opt for student-centered learning. This approach involves the careful
consideration of each learner's abilities and needs throughout the planning, teaching, and assessment
processes. It transforms students from passive recipients of information into active participants in their own
discovery process. Emphasizing the creative and effective use of technology, this method aims to achieve
learning objectives. It also underscores the importance of utilizing a teacher's skills in diverse ways to
encourage the participation of all students in the class.

ANALYZE
Are the learning resource/materials arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics?
Certainly, the resources and materials were well organized, including books. It is crucial to impart to students
the importance of proper management of all learning resources in the learning resource center.
Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers? Why? Why not?
Regarding the utilization of resources such as microphones, speakers, and projectors, close monitoring is in
place. Teachers wishing to borrow these materials sign a borrower's slip, indicating the expected return date.
This protocol is essential to prevent the loss of valuable educational materials.
What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?
.
The learning resource center's primary strength, attributed to the dedication of the teachers, lies in its appeal to
students. Numerous photos adorn the walls, functioning as independent learning materials for the students.
Additionally, the ICT resources are well-maintained, contributing to an enriched learning environment.
What are its weaknesses?
Due to the overcrowded nature of the space, there is limited room for movement. Students were not granted
additional time in the computer room to access the computer lab for extended study or to explore various
computer applications.
What suggestion can you make?
A more spacious room would facilitate the display of additional specimens or equipment crucial to the learning
process, enabling students to engage in various activities within the learning resource center. To cater to the
entire class, the computer center should feature additional computer units. Students should be encouraged to
explore and navigate the various functions of the computers, and they should have the flexibility to access the
computer area whenever they have assignments or tasks to complete.
REFLECT
1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center caught you interest the most? Why?
A Smart TV has been installed in the learning resource center with a sufficiently large screen visible to
students and connectable to a computer. From my perspective, these Smart TVs prove highly beneficial for
teachers. They can minimize the need for creating additional visual aids as supplementary clips are readily
available online.
To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps: Observe a class
for three meetings. Video-tape, if allowed. Step 2. Describe how technology was integrated in the lesson and
how the students were involved. Step 3. Reflect on what you have learned.
OBSERVE
As you observe the class, use the observation sheets provided for you to document your observation.

Use the Technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer to the Technology Integration
Matrix on p. 123, in which level of technology integration do you think the teacher you observed operated?
Why?
The teacher lacks a specific and consistent approach to technology integration. Occasionally, she employs an
adaptation level strategy, facilitating students' independent exploration of technology tools. Other times, she
offers the learning context and allows students to choose the technology tools themselves.
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristic of the learning environment in the class
that you observed? Point your observations that justify you answer.
To the best of my observation, utilizing instructional materials is not challenging. The incorporation of visual aids
seems to capture the students' attention, fostering motivation and interest.
Over-all, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give your suggestions.
A conducive learning environment is established in the class due to the teacher's approachability and flexibility
in providing assistance tailored to the students' individual needs related to the subject matter.

REFLECT
1. Describe your experience in surfing the internet for appropriate electronic for the class? What made it easy?
Difficult?
Before delving into internet searches for relevant electronic resources for the class, I make it a point to read
the outline of materials available on Google. This step helps me assess their relevance to my topic. While it
presents a challenge, the abundance of websites makes the process relatively straightforward.
2. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What did you consider? Explain. Which of
the new trends in Education 4.0 would you like to explore more for your work as a teacher? Why?
Selecting an electronic resource involves considering multiple factors. The primary factor is credibility,
opting for resources with established reliability. The second consideration is appropriateness, as a Google
search often yields unrelated items that should be disregarded. Additionally, ensuring accessibility is
crucial, favoring resources that are readily available.
.
3. Reflect on your technology skills. What skills do you already have, and what skills would you continue to
work on to be better at utilizing education 4.0 resources?
This approach is highly beneficial, and I consider it a valuable tool for teachers to achieve the intended
lesson objectives. Being adaptable to students and understanding their individual needs, particularly in
relation to their comprehension levels, is essential for reaching the desired outcomes.

aspects of daily life.
REFLECT
1. How can MOOCs help you in your future career as a professional teacher and as a lifelong learner?
Because MOOCs allow individuals to learn on a limited budget, they will be beneficial to me in my future
work as a professional teacher and lifelong learner. In addition, it will help me learn about emerging
technologies, build connections outside boundaries, and acquire some teaching ideas.
2. What did you learn from the way the providers use technology to teach in the MOOCs?
Even though technology is constantly changing, learning is a nice and fulfilling process. A few advantages,
in my opinion, set aside different MOOC providers: discussion participation is an important benefit for
individuals looking to connect with others in a more social manner. Tens of thousands of students are
taking-action, which not only makes learning more fun but also helps to increase involvement and
completion of courses.
.
3. How will you prepare yourself for MOOCs, as a learner, and as a teacher who may someday teach
MOOCs?
MOOCs provide educators with an opportunity to observe their peers' activities. I have always believed that
observing other teachers provides important pedagogical insights. If their strategies work, one should try to
duplicate them; on the other hand, if their tactics don't work, one must stay clear of making the same
mistakes twice. As a future teacher, this was the main reason I participated in MOOCs. In addition to giving
me the chance to watch skilled teachers prepare and present material, these classes also give me the
chance to learn from the responses and experiences of other students.

Assessment FOR
Learning and
Assessment AS
FS 1 12 Learning (Formative
Assessment)
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.
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
Ano kaya ang ______ ? II 2
2. Did the teacher ask the class “Did you understand”? If she did, what was the class’ response?
.
Yes, the teacher would keep checking with the class to see if they had understood the discussion. The
students’ reactions will be determined by whether or not the topic being discussed is simple to
comprehend. The teacher regularly checks in with the class to gauge their understanding of the
discussion. The students' reactions are likely influenced by the complexity of the topic; simplicity often
leads to better comprehension, while more challenging concepts may elicit varied responses.
Continuous monitoring and adapting teaching strategies accordingly are key aspects of effective
communication in the classroom.
3. Did the students make the teacher feel or sense they did not understand the lesson or a part of the
lesson? How?
Yes, the teacher's ability to observe students' reactions, such as furrowed brows indicating confusion or
difficulty, is a valuable skill. Recognizing these cues allows the teacher to adjust the teaching approach,
provide additional explanations, or offer support to ensure better comprehension when the lesson is
challenging or confusing. This proactive engagement contributes to a more effective learning
experience for the students.
5. Were the students given the opportunity to ask questions for clarification? How was this done?
Yes. If there is any confusion, the teacher proactively addresses it by posing additional questions to the
class. Encouraging students to seek clarification or express when they don't understand fosters an
open and communicative learning environment.
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.

7. If she engaged himself/herself in re-teaching, how did she do it? Did he/she use the same teaching
strategy? Describe.
The teacher concentrated on offering an additional example and scenario to facilitate the students'
comprehension. This approach aims to reinforce previously taught knowledge, keeping students
engaged and significantly enhancing their understanding of skills, concepts, and content.
.
8. While re-teaching by himself/herself and / or with other students-turned tutors, did teacher check on
students’ progress? If yes, how?
Yes, she kept track of her students’ progress while re-teaching. It's commendable that the teacher
monitored the progress of her students during the re-teaching process. Tracking progress allows the
teacher to gauge the effectiveness of the additional instruction and make further adjustments if
necessary, ensuring that students are on the path to improved understanding. This is achieved by
prompting students with questions about what they have grasped regarding the topic. This approach
encourages communication and the exchange of ideas among students, fostering a collaborative
environment based on genuine understanding.
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?
To evaluate students' understanding of the lesson, the teacher periodically poses questions or assigns
assignments with specific deadlines. Conducting a single, comprehensive assessment is not advisable as it
hinders the ability to address diverse student needs. Continuous assessment allows teachers to respond
effectively to individual requirements, promotes ongoing learning, and facilitates successful peer
collaboration.
2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask “Did you understand, class? “When he/she intends to check on
learners’ progress?
The teacher faces the challenge of assessing students' comprehension, as they may be unable to respond
due to confusion, hold a mistaken belief in their understanding, or feel too embarrassed to admit their lack
of comprehension publicly. Nevertheless, by employing follow-up questions or engaging activities and
delivering lessons effectively with an appropriate teaching style, the teacher can significantly enhance
students' understanding of the material.
3. Should teacher record results for formative assessment for grading purposes? Why or Why not?
In my view, the answer is both yes and no. While recording is a valuable aspect of the learning process,
serving as a means to monitor and test learners' knowledge, it is not the sole necessity. There are
alternative formative evaluations that should also be conducted. However, recording becomes beneficial
when aiming to foster a more profound engagement with the lecture material. It has the potential to
motivate students to take the content more seriously, encouraging active participation and a deeper
involvement in the teaching-learning process.
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?
.
Peer tutoring within the classroom is often deemed more effective than instruction from the educator alone,
partly because this approach is less intimidating for students. The process is inherently less daunting,
making it easier for students to construct their understanding. Once a personal connection is established
with their peers, students find it more comfortable to engage, pose questions, share ideas, and learn with
confidence. Peer tutoring brings about mutual understanding among students, fostering the generation of
new ideas and mutual assistance in overcoming challenges. Consequently, students become more
engaged and take increased responsibility for their group's learning.
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?
Yes, a high number of failures at the end of the term or grading period might be linked to a deficiency in
formative assessment. Formative assessment is crucial for ongoing monitoring of students' progress, and
its absence suggests less meticulous monitoring throughout the teaching-learning process. In essence, it
implies that the teacher has not consistently assessed and addressed students' learning progress,
potentially contributing to a disproportionate number of failures at the end of the period. Simply put, skipping
the steps of assessing students' learning progress along the way could lead to inadequate preparation for
the final evaluation.
REFLECT
Formative assessment is tasting the soup while cooking. Reflect on this and write your reflections.
Formative assessment is a tool used to analyze and track student progress in real-time during the
teaching-learning process. This is why we compare it to tasting the soup while it's cooking. A
teacher may ask questions or give assignments with deadlines to determine how well a lesson or
instruction is understood by the class. Through this participatory method, teachers can respond to
students' questions with more clarification, creating a lively learning atmosphere. Thus, formative
assessment is a method that helps educators identify areas that need to be adjusted. It turns into
a tool that allows teachers to modify their methods in response to real-time input, guaranteeing
that the learning process is precisely tailored to the requirements of the pupils.
OBSERVE

Teacher My Observation
1. Did teacher provide opportunities for the Yes, the teacher fosters a reflective learning
learners to monitor and reflect on their environment through various methods such as
own learning? inviting questions, maintaining notebooks,
assigning reflective essays, and curating portfolios.
By actively asking if students have any questions,
the teacher prompts them to engage in thoughtful
consideration of the material, encouraging a
deeper understanding. The practice of keeping
notebooks enables students to document their
thoughts, questions, and insights, facilitating
ongoing reflection on their learning journey.
Additionally, writing reflective essays provides a
structured opportunity for students to articulate and
ponder their experiences and understandings. The
collection of a portfolio further reinforces the habit
of introspection, as it compiles tangible evidence of
progress and achievements over time. Through
these strategies, the teacher not only imparts
knowledge but also instills a habit of self-reflection,
promoting a more meaningful and enduring
learning experience for the students.
2. What are proofs that students were The fruits of students' self-reflection are often
engaged in self-reflection, self-monitoring evident to a significant extent in their notebooks
and self-adjustment? and portfolios. These repositories serve as tangible
records of the students' thoughts, insights, and
progress over time, offering a window into their
evolving understanding and learning journey. The
notebooks, where students jot down questions,
observations, and reflections, provide a real-time
glimpse into their thought processes during the
learning process. Portfolios, on the other hand,
compile a more comprehensive collection of their
work, showcasing their growth, achievements, and
the development of critical skills.
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?
The primary purpose of evaluation in education is to foster learning rather than solely assess it. When
teachers allocate significant instructional time to the administration and scoring of tests, it often serves
as a means to actively support and enhance the learning process. Assessments, when strategically
designed, become integral tools that contribute to ongoing improvement in both teaching
methodologies and student outcomes. The value of assessments lies not only in gauging what students
have learned but, more importantly, in informing educators about how best to facilitate learning. The
results gleaned from assessments should be substantial enough to warrant the time and effort invested.
This perspective underscores the notion that assessments should be purposeful and yield meaningful
data that can be leveraged to refine instructional strategies. Teachers are not merely concerned with
the act of evaluation for its own sake; rather, they are deeply invested in the potential insights that
assessment data can provide. Their focus extends to how this data can be utilized to advance
education and contribute to the holistic development of students. This data-centric approach involves a
thoughtful analysis of student performance, enabling educators to identify areas of strength and
weakness, tailor instruction to individual learning needs, and ultimately foster a more effective and
student-centric learning environment. In essence, the agreement with the idea that assessment is a tool
for promoting learning underscores a commitment to the thoughtful and purposeful integration of
evaluation practices into the broader educational landscape, with the ultimate goal of continuous
improvement and the holistic advancement of both teaching and student development.
2. Does assessment as learning have the same ultimate purpose as assessment for learning?
The inclusion of the word "for" in the phrase "assessment FOR learning" signifies a purpose aimed at
improvement and the assurance of ongoing learning. This concept is encapsulated in the term
"formative assessment," which refers to assessments conducted while the teacher guides students
through the learning process, ensuring that learning is actively taking place during instruction. The
essence of formative assessment is that it goes beyond evaluating what students have learned; it
serves as a real-time tool for shaping and enhancing the learning experience as it unfolds. The
connection between assessment and self-assessment within the learning context is notable.
Assessment, in this sense, becomes a form of learning for students. It goes beyond traditional
evaluation; it becomes a mechanism through which students gain insights into themselves as learners,
.
whether it's as paragraph writers or in any other capacity. Through self-assessment and peer
assessment using tools like scoring rubrics, students actively engage in the evaluation of their own
work or that of their peers. In doing so, they not only evaluate the quality of a paragraph or other tasks
but also learn about the criteria that define excellence in those areas. The process of self-assessment
and peer assessment becomes a powerful learning experience. It propels students to understand what
constitutes a well-crafted paragraph, for example, as they critically evaluate their own work or that of
their peers. It transforms assessment from a mere measure of knowledge acquisition to a dynamic and
participatory learning process, where students actively contribute to their own educational journey.
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?
During my educational journey, I've formed the viewpoint that the human mind is inherently wired to engage in
comparisons with others as a fundamental aspect of knowledge acquisition. This inclination is woven into the
very fabric of our learning processes. It's a phenomenon that becomes evident right from the moment we come
into the world, and it permeates our educational experiences on various scales. From birth, we embark on a
journey of learning that involves imitation, repetition, and assessment. Babies, for instance, begin to acquire
language skills through the natural instinct of imitating the sounds and words they hear from those around them.
This early form of learning through observation and mimicry sets the stage for a lifelong process of comparing
and contrasting oneself with others. As we progress through formal education, this inclination to compare
becomes more explicit. The educational environment introduces various forms of assessments, competitions,
and collaborative activities where individuals inevitably measure themselves against their peers. This
comparative process serves as a crucial mechanism for understanding one's own abilities, knowledge, and
skills in relation to others. Moreover, the feedback derived from these comparisons plays a pivotal role in
shaping our learning trajectories. Assessments, whether formal or informal, offer insights into areas of strength
and areas that may require improvement. This continuous cycle of comparison and assessment contributes to
the refinement of learning strategies and the cultivation of a deeper understanding of the subject matter. In
summary, the notion that the human mind instinctively compares itself to others is not just an observation from
school but a pervasive aspect of our cognitive architecture. It underscores the profound role that comparison
plays in the intricate process of knowledge acquisition, from the earliest stages of life through the entirety of our
educational endeavors.

2. What are possible consequences if teacher’s assessment tasks are not aligned to learning outcome/s Does this
affect assessment results? How?
When assessment activities lack a direct connection to specific topics, several factors may impact
students' learning outcomes. The practical application of classroom learning through tasks and
activities allows students to demonstrate their acquired knowledge. This approach ensures that the
assessment accurately evaluates the relevant skills using appropriate procedures.
REFLECT
Reflect on past assessments you have been through. Were they aligned with what your teacher taught (with
learning outcomes?
Taking part in this task brings back memories of examinations I had taken in high school and while
entering this college. It reminded me of the two types of teachers: those who are genuinely passionate
about their work and always give it their all in the classroom, and those who are not. There's also a
certain class of teachers that don't spend much time with their students. When it comes to
assessments, teachers who are committed to teaching every day frequently use simple techniques that
are directly related to the learning objectives. However, instructors who don't teach often could use
tests that have nothing to do with the learning objectives. This analysis of prior experiences highlights
the variety of methods teachers use for both instruction and evaluation.
How did this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you learn from this past experience
and from this observation?

get better. The tasks also provide me a great chance to reflect on myself and pinpoint particular areas
that still require improvement. As I work toward my goal of becoming a teacher, I've learned how
important it is to match evaluations with learning objectives. Because it directs students' attention to the
course topic and creates a clear relationship between the activities and the overall class objectives, this
alignment has a substantial impact on students' intrinsic motivation. This knowledge highlights the
significance of purposeful assessment design for both assessing performance and encouraging a more
in-depth discussion of the subject.

ANALYZE
1. Which assessment tools/tasks were most commonly used by teacher? Which one were rarely used? Why were
they rarely used?
The multiple-choice and short-answer formats are frequently employed in assessments due to their widespread
use and effectiveness. These formats have become standard tools because they offer students a common and
efficient means of demonstrating their understanding and comprehension of a given topic. The structured nature
of multiple-choice questions and the concise responses required in short-answer formats provide educators with
reliable methods for assessing students' knowledge, critical thinking skills, and overall grasp of the subject
matter. This popularity is attributed to their practicality and effectiveness in facilitating a comprehensive
evaluation of students' comprehension of the material.
2. Based on your answers found in the Tables above in which type of assessment tools and tasks were the
Resource Teachers most skilled in test construction? least skilled?
Short-answer and multiple-choice questions hold significant importance in the assessment process. Multiple-
choice questions offer a structured approach, allowing teachers to gather factual knowledge about a topic while
providing students with a set of options for potential responses. On the other hand, essay-type questions enable
teachers to tap into students' perspectives on specific issues, promoting a more comprehensive understanding
of their thoughts and insights.The combination of these assessment types serves a dual purpose. Multiple-
choice questions efficiently assess foundational knowledge, while essay-type questions encourage students to
engage critically with the material, fostering a deeper level of understanding. The process of formulating
detailed responses in essays requires students to not only recall information but also apply critical thinking skills
to analyze, synthesize, and articulate their viewpoints. This balanced approach to assessment, incorporating
both multiple-choice and essay-type questions, contributes to a well-rounded evaluation of students' knowledge
and skills. It encourages a deeper engagement with the subject matter and enhances the development of
critical thinking abilities, ensuring that students can not only retain information but also apply and analyze it in
meaningful ways.
3. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper-and-pencil test, be considered an
authentic form of assessment? Explain your answer.
Yes, essays and other written tasks play a crucial role in allowing students to articulate their experiences and
outline how they intend to apply their knowledge in real-life situations. These written assignments provide a
.
platform for students to not only demonstrate their understanding of the subject matter but also reflect on how
the acquired knowledge can be practically employed. The assumption that students can translate what they've
learned into meaningful applications in the community or their personal lives is inherent in this approach. By
encouraging students to articulate their plans and intentions through essays, educators are fostering a deeper
level of engagement and application of knowledge. This process goes beyond rote memorization and promotes
a more profound understanding that students can actively carry into their real-world experiences. In essence,
essays and written tasks serve as a bridge between theoretical learning and practical application, reinforcing
the idea that education is not just about acquiring information but also about empowering students to use that
knowledge meaningfully in their communities and personal lives.

How good are you at constructing traditional assessment tools? Which do you find most difficult to construct?
Any lesson/s learned?
In comparing myself to teachers, particularly concerning traditional assessment methods, I recognize
that I might not possess the same level of skill. From my experience with Assessment of Learning I and II, I find
constructing multiple-choice exams to be particularly challenging. This type of assessment demands careful
consideration of various factors, and a single mistake in the stem or choices can invalidate the entire item.
There are additional intricacies, restrictions, and limitations to navigate, adding to the complexity of the task.
Additionally, the process of developing a multiple-choice test requires a substantial investment of time and
effort. The challenge is compounded by the fact that students exhibit varying completion times, with some
finishing swiftly and others requiring more time or making educated guesses. I've come to realize that creating a
table of specifications can be immensely helpful in guiding the construction of this type of exam. In
acknowledging these difficulties, I am also aware of the importance of precision and meticulous planning when
engaging in traditional assessment methods, particularly with multiple-choice exams. The learning curve has
highlighted the need for a nuanced understanding of the intricacies involved in creating assessments that are
both fair and effective in evaluating students' understanding and knowledge.
Here is the learning outcome of this Activity: Critique traditional tools and tasks for learning in the context of
established guidelines on test construction.

ANALYZE
1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you think that type pf rubric was used
more?
Based on my observations, it appears that holistic rubrics are more frequently utilized compared to analytic
rubrics. This preference may stem from the perceived ease of construction and the simplicity they bring to the
evaluation process. Holistic rubrics offer a comprehensive analysis of the output as a unified whole, which can
streamline the assessment process. This broader approach allows for a more straightforward and holistic
.
evaluation, potentially contributing to efficiency in grading and providing a quick overall view of the performance
without delving into detailed criteria.
2. Based on your answers in # 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made and used by the Resource
Teachers?
The scoring rubrics employed were well-suited for evaluating the specific product or performance in question.
The appropriateness of the rubrics contributed to a fair and accurate assessment, ensuring that the evaluation
criteria aligned effectively with the nature of the task at hand. This alignment is crucial for providing a
comprehensive and just evaluation of the product or performance, reinforcing the reliability and fairness of the
assessment process.
3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product or performance without
scoring rubrics? Explain.
Yes, Indeed, the use of criteria or rubrics is essential when evaluating a product or performance. Their absence
can raise concerns about the credibility and reliability of the grades or scores assigned. Without clearly defined
criteria, there's a risk of subjective judgment and potential bias in the grading process. Students deserve a
transparent understanding of the basis for their evaluation, and criteria or rubrics provide the necessary
framework to ensure fairness, consistency, and reliability in assessments. They serve as a guide for both
educators and students, fostering a shared understanding of the expectations and standards against which
performance is measured.
4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how?
If I’m going to improve one of the rubrics, it would be poster rubrics, I've identified the poster rubrics as a
specific area for improvement. My intention is to introduce modifications to the format, aiming for a structure that
is not only more suitable but also enhances the clarity and comprehensibility of the assessment tool. By refining
the format, I aspire to create a rubric that not only aligns more precisely with the evaluation criteria but also
ensures a more user-friendly experience for both assessors and students. This strategic adjustment in format is
a proactive step toward optimizing the assessment process and ultimately fostering a more accurate and
meaningful evaluation of poster-based performances.
5. Can you essay or other written requirements, even if it is paper-and-pencil test, be considered an authentic form
of assessment? Explain your answer.
Yes, an essay can be considered an authentic assessment, even though it involves the traditional paper-and-
pencil format, as its authenticity lies in the nature of the task itself. In contrast to assessments that involve
selecting responses from a predetermined list of options, an essay demands that students generate, construct,
and organize concepts. It prompts them to apply what they have learned to real-world problems, showcasing a
higher level of cognitive engagement and critical thinking. The authenticity of the essay as an assessment tool
stems from its capacity to evaluate not only the recall of information but also the ability to synthesize, analyze,
and articulate ideas coherently. It mirrors the cognitive processes required in real-world scenarios, where
individuals are often tasked with formulating comprehensive responses rather than choosing from predefined
answers. Therefore, despite its traditional medium, an essay remains a powerful means of authentically
assessing students' understanding, application, and integration of knowledge.
6. Can rubrics help make students to become self-directed or independent learners? Do rubrics contribute to
assessment? AS learning (self-assessment) What if there were no rubrics in assessment?
Rubrics play a crucial role in promoting self-directed learning among students as they provide a structured
framework for self-evaluation. By examining the specified criteria, students can assess their own work, fostering
a sense of autonomy and responsibility for their learning. This self-directed approach not only facilitates the
evaluation of their work but also serves as a valuable tool for learning itself. Engaging in self-evaluation using
rubrics encourages students to reflect on their outputs and the associated learning experiences. This reflective
.
process enables them to discern whether they have genuinely achieved the desired outcomes. In essence, the
use of rubrics contributes to the concept of evaluation as learning, where students actively participate in
assessing their progress, identifying areas for improvement, and gaining a deeper understanding of the learning
objectives. Incorporating rubrics into the evaluation process not only aids in providing clear expectations but
also empowers students to take an active role in their own educational journey, promoting a culture of self-
directed learning and continuous improvement.
Does the Scoring Rubric in this FS Book I help you come up with better output?
The scoring rubric for FS Book 1 has proven to be valuable tool for me, significantly contributing to the
enhancement of my work. It serves as a guiding framework, facilitating a systematic evaluation of my output
and aiding in the decision-making process regarding whether improvements are necessary, adjustments are
warranted, or if the work is satisfactory as is. The rubric provides a structured set of criteria that illuminates key
aspects to consider, offering me a comprehensive and well-defined roadmap for creating a high-quality output.
This strategic use of the rubric not only streamlines the assessment process but also serves as a supportive
mechanism for continuous improvement and the attainment of desired standards.
REFLECT
Are authentic assessment tools and task new? Reflect on your experiences of tests for all the years as a
student.
Reflecting on my high school experience, I recall encountering assessment tools that were commonplace at the
time. However, I'm curious whether ongoing innovations are in progress, potentially introducing novel methods
to enhance learning for a broader spectrum of students. Assessment, being a crucial component of the learning
process, has undergone a transformation from traditional approaches to the adoption of authentic assessment
methods. While not entirely novel, authentic assessment has gained prominence in recent years, finding its way
into classrooms as a means of evaluating students' understanding and application of knowledge. This shift is
not entirely revolutionary; authentic assessment practices have been in use for years. Performance tasks, for
instance, have become regular features in classrooms, providing students with opportunities to demonstrate
their practical understanding of the material. Throughout my educational journey, authentic assessments have
been integral to my learning path. Engaging in activities such as creating authentic outputs, collaborating on
group projects, and tackling diverse performance assignments has been both interesting and demanding.
These assessments go beyond traditional evaluations by encouraging the application of acquired knowledge in
real-life situations, fostering a deeper and more practical understanding of the subject matter. As education
continues to evolve, it raises the question of what new innovations may be on the horizon, poised to further
enrich the learning experiences of students. The integration of authentic assessments, with their emphasis on
real-world application, exemplifies a dynamic approach that aligns with the evolving nature of education in the
modern era.

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.

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?
Students’ Reflection In the context of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), I advocate for the utilization of
students' actions and outputs as primary indicators for selecting evidence that demonstrates their learning. This
evidence, showcasing what students have genuinely absorbed from their educational experiences, should be
thoughtfully incorporated into a portfolio. The portfolio becomes a dynamic tool for the teacher to assess the
ongoing progress of students within a specific class period. In this approach, the portfolio serves as a
comprehensive repository of students' achievements, reflecting not only their actions but also any written or
creative responses derived from their learning experiences. By including these diverse elements, the teacher
gains a multifaceted view of the students' understanding and application of the intended learning outcomes. The
portfolio, thus, becomes a living document that captures the essence of students' learning journeys, offering a
more holistic and nuanced perspective on their educational development. This methodology aligns with the
principles of OBE, emphasizing the importance of observable and measurable outcomes. By anchoring the
evidence of learning in students' actions, outputs, and reflective responses, the assessment process becomes
more authentic and reflective of the intended educational goals. This approach not only provides a richer
.
understanding of students' progress but also empowers them to take an active role in curating and presenting
evidence of their own learning.
2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio, based on the parts, under which type of portfolio does this fall?
1. Cover Letter: The inclusion of a cover letter titled "About the Author" and "What My Portfolio Shows About
My Progress as a Learner" provides a personalized introduction. It sets the tone for the portfolio by offering
insights into the student's identity and outlining the purpose of the portfolio in showcasing their
developmental journey.
2. Table of Contents: A well-organized table of contents with numbered pages is a hallmark of a
developmental/growth portfolio. It enhances accessibility and allows for easy navigation, enabling the
audience, including teachers and peers, to locate specific entries and track the progression of the student's
work.
3. Entries: The portfolio includes both core (required items) and optional items chosen by the students. This
comprehensive approach ensures that key elements, as well as items of personal significance to the
student's learning journey, are represented. This inclusion of optional items allows for a more individualized
and reflective portrayal of growth.
4. Dates on Entries: Dating all entries is an essential feature for a developmental/growth portfolio. It facilitates
the proof of growth over time, allowing the audience to discern the chronological progression of the
student's work and development.
5. Drafts and Revisions: Including drafts of aural/oral and written products, along with revised versions,
exemplifies a developmental/growth focus. It showcases the iterative nature of the student's work,
emphasizing the process of improvement and refinement over time.
6. Student’s Reflections: Integrating reflections from the student adds a crucial dimension to the portfolio.
These reflections provide valuable insights into the student's learning experiences, goals, and self-
awareness. The reflective component is integral to demonstrating growth and development.

3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?
Teachers seeking insights into students' growth and development over time, aiming to foster essential process
skills such as self-evaluation and goal-setting, identify strengths and weaknesses, and monitor the evolution of
additional products or performances, should consider implementing the development or growth portfolio. This
type of portfolio serves as a dynamic tool for capturing the ongoing journey of each student, emphasizing the
learning process and continuous improvement. On the other hand, Showcase Portfolios serve distinct purposes,
particularly when the intention is to highlight notable end-of-year or end-of-semester achievements. These
portfolios are instrumental in curating a sample of a student's best work for applications to colleges or careers.
They also provide a platform for students to showcase their assessments of their favorite, best, or most
significant pieces of work. Additionally, Showcase Portfolios serve as effective tools for communicating a
student's current aptitudes to potential teachers, presenting a comprehensive overview of their academic
strengths and accomplishments. When a teacher's focus is on keeping meticulous track of a student's progress
toward specific standards, maintaining a record of achievements for grading purposes, and accurately placing
students within appropriate academic levels, the use of assessment portfolios becomes imperative. Assessment
portfolios facilitate the systematic evaluation of a student's performance against predefined criteria, ensuring
that the grading process is informed and reflective of the student's attainment of learning objectives. In essence,
by strategically employing both development/growth portfolios and showcase portfolios, teachers can gain a
multifaceted understanding of students' academic journeys. This comprehensive approach allows educators to
not only track progress and achievements but also support students in developing crucial skills and presenting
their best work for future educational or career endeavors. Using a combination of portfolio types can offer a
well-rounded and comprehensive view of a student's academic journey. Each portfolio type serves a unique
purpose, and integrating them strategically allows teachers to capture various aspects of student learning and
growth.
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?
In my perspective, the portfolio did not add complexity to the process of learning assessment; instead, it
streamlined it. The use of a single type of portfolio allowed for an immediate assessment of a student's
progress. Moreover, the portfolio served as a repository of evidence showcasing the student's learning in each
lesson, providing a comprehensive overview of their educational journey. The time invested in evaluating
portfolios was proportional to the enhancement observed in learners' metacognitive processes through the
utilization of portfolios. This approach not only assessed academic progress but also contributed to the
development of students' self-awareness and reflective thinking. A noteworthy aspect of the portfolio
implementation was the opportunity it afforded students to engage in self-evaluation and provide feedback. This
process not only empowered students to actively participate in their learning journey but also facilitated the
refinement of their learning strategies. By encouraging students to critically assess their work and offer insights
into their understanding of the subject matter, the portfolio became a valuable tool for fostering a deeper
comprehension of the topics covered. In essence, the use of portfolios not only simplified the assessment
process but also acted as a catalyst for the improvement of students' metacognitive skills. It transformed
assessment into a reflective and participatory exercise, allowing students to play an active role in shaping their
learning strategies and gaining a more profound understanding of the subject matter.

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

Towards Teacher
Quality: Developing
a Global Teacher of
Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A global teacher of the 21st century!
In 2013, a Global Status Index was determined by Varkey GEMS Foundation and revealed significant
findings. There were 21 countries surveyed which represented the major continents of the world. In most
countries that participated, it was found out that like the Philippines, teaching is the most sought profession. It
was comparable to being a social worker, librarians, nursing and even doctors. Majority of the parents asked,
answered that they encourage their children to become teachers. To them, teaching is one of the most
respected and trusted 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.
.
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
.
The Challenges of the Quality Glocal Teachers for the 21st 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 21 st century
learners for the development of the 21st century skills.
Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator of learning.
Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work on interdisciplinary projects that cover several
subject areas. Learning is no longer for memorizing and recalling of information but on learning how to learn.
Thus classroom designs should respond to the 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.

FIELD STUDY 1 Episode On Teacher’s
Philosophy of
FS 1 16 Education
One thing asked of teacher applicants in the Department of Education is to write their philosophy of
education. This means that they have to write their concept of the nature of the learner, how that learner learns
and how that learner ought to live life meaningfully. Based on these philosophical concepts, the teacher
applicants describe how they ought to relate to the learner, what to teach and how to teach so that the learner
learns and lives life happily and meaningfully.
We’ are beneficiaries of a rich philosophical heritage passed on to us by great thinkers of the past and
of the present. The way teachers relate to learners and the way they teach are anchored on philosophies of
education.
Basic documents such as the vision and mission statements, core values and mandate of the Department of
Education and the features of the K to 12 Curriculum as contained in Section 3 of RA 1053 and the K to 12
Curriculum Guide are manifestations or expressions of the philosophies of education of the country. They state
