I will observe one Resource Teacher with the use of Classroom Observation Checklist for greater focus. I will
analyze my observation with help of the statements in the checklist then reflect on my observation and analysis.
SYNCHRONOUS CLASSROOM OBSERVATION CHECKLIST
During my observation to a class, I observe that the instruction is teacher-centered that did
not require the students to participate in the discussion thus the teacher gives chances to the class
to share their insights but no one from them responds. The students become the listeners to the
teacher and may let them take notes about the lessons delivered. Yes, they are merely passive
recipients of the instruction.
How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
They give responses using chats and other common responses like
agreeing to the teacher’s statement.
Which of the following is/are your analyses of online learning environment? Check one or
more.
If you abide by the pedagogical approaches that the K to 12 law states, will you be
more teacher-centered or student-centered in approach? Explain your answer.
- The K to 12 curricula aims to give a high standard curriculum for the students
that may allow them to be more independent in their learning progress. The role
of the teachers as stated in the K to 12 curriculum guide is now the Facilitator of
learning which will be guiding students as they learn on their own.
As a future teacher I feel that the online learning environment can be safe if I
become the model to my students on proper utilization of online platforms
especially the Google Features. It will start with me since I believe that my
students will also reflect on me like doing what I used to do in the class.
I think that teaching in a virtual learning environment is good in some ways. It
gives the students a flexible learning in which they can learn anywhere they are
and whatever they are doing but the reality of the students that are suppose to
be going to school, interacting and studying practically are continuously losing.
Everyone needs to adjust.
Between teacher-centered and student-centered approach, the latter must be
more pedagogically sound because even R.A. 10533, the Enhanced Basic
Education Act of 2013 mandates it for K to 12. Write reflections about it. Or is it
better to use both approaches?
People's perceptions of classroom management have been based on
behavioral theories of teaching and learning for many years. The employment of
tactics that bring students' conduct under stimuli control is the primary emphasis
for classroom management in a behavioral model (Brophy, 1999). These behavioral
techniques to classroom management are in line with a "traditional" or
transmission method of teaching. However, perceptions of good education have
evolved in the previous decade. Educators are increasingly being urged to use
constructivist learning methods in their classrooms (Brophy, 1999; Dollard and
Christensen, 1996).
The structuring of the physical environment, the establishment of norms
and procedures, the building of productive relationships, and the prevention and
response to misconduct are all part of classroom management. The students
clearly and passionately conveyed that personalized learning has empowered them
to take ownership of their education. They don’t feel that they need to get
permission from the teacher for every move they make in the classroom, and are
more frequently turning to their own problem-solving or the aid of peers as a first
resort.
Today, my stand is that advanced student-centered instruction must be
implemented more in virtual context. It is accomplished by assisting students in
discovering their own potential with the assistance of facilitators, who are
teachers. The acknowledgement of authority comes from the teacher in both
teacher-centered and student-centered education; the distinction is that students
are the builders of their own learning.
Other asynchronous tasks:
Task 1. Find at least one sample (whether through a lesson plan video or a description) of each of these
approaches:
1. Demonstration - A teaching demonstration is a process that teaches learners how to compete a task
using actual materials. The audience level and size can impact the effectiveness of the demonstration
(Smith, Wenderoth, & Tyler 2013).
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHvp09yge3M)
2. Simulation - are instructional scenarios where the learner is placed in a "world" defined by the teacher.
They represent a reality within which students interact. The teacher controls the parameters of this
"world" and uses it to achieve the desired instructional results. Students experience the reality of the
scenario and gather meaning from it.

3. Games - are interactive unlike books or movies that involve more passive consumption they may also
encourage students to explore new topics and approaches to learning that they otherwise would not
consider.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaAga2PWlnI
5. Developmentally appropriate - The idea is that the program should fit the child; the child shouldn't
have to fit the program.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO3dFOJvubM
6. Constructivist - based on the belief that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of
meaning and knowledge construction rather than passively receiving information. Learners are the makers
of meaning and knowledge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCOYWVonxfQ
7. Inquiry-based - This form of learning enhances comprehension rather than memorizing facts and taking
notes, students are now encouraged to discuss ideas among their peers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFV2CekiUy0
9. Inclusive - ensures that students with significant cognitive disabilities are presented accessible and
engaging instructional activities
https://tiescenter.org/inclusive-instruction/overview
10. Reflective - a process through which teachers analyze their instructional practices. Through reflective
teaching, teachers are able to understand what areas might be improved or changed for better learning
outcomes.

Task 2. Watch this video:
https://www.ted.com/talks/brian_oshiro_encourage_critical_thinking_with_3_questions
Task 3.
1. As adults (or teachers) how can we prompt children to think about how their perspective may
differ from other people’s?
2. What are the interventions that we need to foster this type of thinking skill?
3. Do some questions have more than one correct answer?
4. What are some questions that have more than one correct answer?
5. What is the most threatening cause of forest endangerment?
6. What practical ways can a person do to minimize environmental problems?
7. How do we respond or follow up when students explain their stand on certain things?
8. What type of questions would make the learners conscious of their schemas?
Task 4. Write three questions that encourage critical thinking following the three steps
mentioned:
1. What is the implication of using musical pieces in chorale groups?
2. Why is it important to learn how to read musical notations?
3. How can you determine the key and pitch of a certain music?
