Activity 2: Through symbolism, present the development and social factors and individual
differences of learning creativity. In a short paragraph, explain the implications of the symbolism
presented.
Diversity
The symbol that I choose is a symbol of Diversity because I believed that Development, social
factors and individual differences promotes diversity in learning to develop creativity among
students. Diversity fosters innovation. It motivates people to seek out new information and
viewpoints, which leads to better decision-making and problem-solving. Students and teachers
can benefit from diversity, which can lead to unrestricted discoveries and breakthrough ideas.
Simply being exposed to a wide range of viewpoints might alter your perspective.

1. Interview and seasoned teacher in your school. List his or her practices in terms of
implementing the learner-centered principles of learning. Which among his or her
practices, do you believe, is the best or is most effective?
- I interviewed Mrs. Divina T. Donsig, my former science teacher during high school
and our school registrar at San Herminigildo Agro-Industrial School (SHAIS). She’s
a 30 years loyal teacher of SHAIS. According to her, her practices in terms of
implementing the learner-centered principles of learning is to adjust and never forget
the traditional way of teaching before and let students learn through different physical
activities like experimenting. So for me, the best or most effective practice is when
she adjusted to our modern world educational system to be effective in teaching her
students in all aspects even if she’s old already. As I experienced being her student
before, I know how she teach, she has both sides of practices of teaching when she
discuss she does it in a way traditional but she also utilize technology and physical
activities to which the student is more suitable of learning.
2. Search for and download an article or study on teachers’ best practices along with
conducting an assessment to a diversity of learners. Which among these practices do you
believe is very effective?
- The articles that I downloaded are “Best Teaching Practices for Diverse Learners:
How Substitutes Can Positively Impact Classroom Culture” by Phil Engle and
“Teachers’ assessment practices for classroom diversity” by International Association
for Educational Assessment (IAEA). For me, I believe that these articles are both
effective because the first article is about Teachers are motivated to fulfill the
different requirements of a classroom of diverse learners by a love for educating
young people. It's difficult job that necessitates getting to know students well enough
to assess and comprehend their needs and quirks. It can be difficult enough for
normal classroom instructors, but for substitutes who are only with pupils for a brief
period, it can be practically impossible. However, even in the short duration of a
teacher's absence, fundamental methods that can be implemented in a number of
classroom settings and topic areas may be used to satisfy students' learning
requirements. While the second article says that Assessment tools may be used by
teachers to detect distinct learning requirements and enhance teaching and learning.
This leads to a discussion of two crucial concerns, the first of which is how
instructors can credibly recognize classroom diversity, and the second of which is
how beneficial are the evaluation procedures they employ to address the detected
variety. So for me, they are both effective and has the best practices along with
conducting an assessment to a diversity of learners.
