The document discusses the experiences and perspectives of a teacher regarding lesson introductions, advantages and disadvantages of modular learning, teaching strategies for modular classes, and relevant teaching approaches in the new normal education setup. Modular learning provides flexibility but is more rigorous for teachers, while students can learn at their own pace but find it difficult without support. A mix of student-centered and teacher-centered approaches are recommended for the new normal to address learning gaps while promoting independence.

GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM Name: MA. CONXEDES B. GUDES Course: MAED TSCI-I Subject: ELECT B: INTEGRATIVE TRAININGS AND SEMINAR 1. Based on your teaching experience, how do you introduce a lesson to the class? As a public teacher for more than one year, and teaching in face-to-face class for almost six months, I introduce my lesson to the class following what I have planned for that day or week written in weekly plan. Before I introduce the lesson, I provide preliminary activities to my class, such as pre-assessment or reviewing the prior knowledge of my students, and motivational activities to ignite their curiosity for the new lesson. Then, as I introduce the lesson, I ask guide or thought-provoking questions, and examples for the lesson, and sometimes I introduce it through a game and picture presentation. I also introduce the learning competency and objectives that they need to achieve. After that, I provide the learning activities of the lesson to the class.
3. For those of you having modular class;
3.1 What are its advantages and disadvantages? Based on my experience in teaching a modular class for one year and six months, modular learning modality have advantages and disadvantages to both teachers and students. It is advantage for teachers in the sense that it provides flexibility for us to do other paperwork, we don’t have to worry about students’ behavior since they are with their parents and guardian. It is also advantage for the students in the sense that they can learn in self- pace, they have the choice when and where to study and answer the module, they have all the resources for the correct answers of the assessment. However, it also disadvantage for the teachers in the sense that it is rigorous for us to make and reproduce the modules, especially if we have three preparations and full loads. We spend more time on checking the outputs of a hundred of students in every week. We also need to deliver the modules of those students who failed to get for their own, and most of them are far from the school in which we need to cross rivers. For the students’ side, it is also disadvantage for them. It is hard for them to learn on their own if their parents are not around or in work. They can’t easily grasp the lesson by just reading the modules, and it is also tiresome for them.
3.2 Are teaching strategies employed in modular class?
In modular class, we can’t easily apply the different teaching strategies since the students are just using their modules. However, there are still teaching strategies employed in the modules. For example in Science subject, there are lessons that need to have experiment to easily understand the concept. The experiment to be conducted is home- based, in which the students will utilize what is present in their house.
4. What teaching approaches are relevant in this new normal set-up?
For the new normal set-up, there are different teaching approaches can be applied for the delivery of instruction. The trends are blended learning in which you can opt to use modular or online synchronous/asynchronous or face-to-face. Moreover, in the new normal set-up of education, it is relevant to apply a mixed of student-centered and teacher-centered ST. MARY’S COLLEGE OF TAGUM, INC. Tagum City, Davao del Norte, Philippines GRADUATE EDUCATION PROGRAM approaches of teaching. Students nowadays have large learning gap due to the pandemic, in which for two years, they spent their learning activities at home. Most of them need to go back on the basics, and by this the teacher-centered approach is utilized. Meanwhile, it is also important to apply learning activities that are student-centered for them to be independent in problem-solving and enhance their engagement in learning.
