Sharing Observation Experience

Write your observation experiences and share with your Field Study teacher
and classmates. Focus on the following questions.
A. How did the teachers manage the instructional time?
A1. Lower Grade
The time for instruction was managed by the teacher through
making sure that all of the students are involved in the lesson. I have observed
that the teacher lets the students to have a board work and also activity in their
notebook to make them participate and cooperate in class. Moreover, the
teacher maintained group focus wherein her focus is to let the students achieve
the learning objective which is to demonstrate their skill in solving a particular
problem. Also, the students were engaged, busy, and productive. I have
observed that the teacher used multiple teaching methodologies that caught
the attention and interest of the students. In that way, the students were
motivated and encouraged to learn. These teaching methodologies used by the
teacher are based on the learning styles of the students. Indeed, the teacher
was flexible in terms of adjusting the teaching strategies to the students’
capabilities. Because of that, the students were able to effectively learn.
The teacher was able to manage the instructional time through avoiding
jumping from topic to topic. She makes sure that whatever will be discussed in
the classroom are relevant to the lesson and learning targets. When one of the
students started to be off-topic and say something that is not relevant to the
lesson, she asks questions about the topic and make a way to bring back the
discussion to the lesson. Also, the teacher made sure that all students are
involved in the lesson. She usually calls her students to recite for them to be
able to share their insights and to actively participate in the teaching and
learning process. Because of that, the teacher maintained group focus wherein
it’s like having a business atmosphere in the classroom and the teacher is the
investor and what she invested was her knowledge and her skill in facilitating
learning, in order to make a profit which is the learning of the students. In other
words, the focus of the teacher is for the students to achieve the learning targets
at the end of the lesson. Additionally, the teacher kept the students engaged,
busy, and productive through giving learning activities for them to work on.
Lastly, the teacher adjusted the teaching styles to students’ abilities in a way
that I have observed that the teaching strategy used by the teacher is
appropriate and suitable to the capabilities of the students.
The teacher in the upper grade was also able to establish a good
relationship with the students. We have observed that she respects what the
students can do. For instance, when a student answers a question, the teacher
respects the student’s ideas and opinions, and the role of the teacher is to affirm
if it’s right or wrong. Also, the teacher has established an emotionally
wholesome climate wherein the teaching and learning process is warm and
pleasing for the students. Because of that, they were encouraged and inspired
to participate in the class discussion. We have also observed that the teacher
established a wholesome and constructive conversations with the students to
make them be part of the discussion, and to make the class more interactive
and collaborative.
The teacher was able to establish routine in the teaching and learning
process by facilitating reasonable routines. These are the routines/activities
which are reasonable or essential in learning. Also, the teacher provides
announcements for students’ guidance. For instance, the teacher announced
that they will be having a quiz the following day. Most importantly, the teacher
provided purposeful guidelines to set direction in a way that the students are
goal-oriented, and they are already guided on what to do in order to achieve
their goals.
