This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school
environment that promotes learning and development.
1. A physical environment conductive for learning is one that has consistent practices
that:
Keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
Maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
Address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students.
3. As a basic part of the school’s visual environment, display boards have four general
purposes:
Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set
the social and psychological atmosphere of the school.
Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater
confidence. An example would be the display of students’ outputs that show
that each output is recognized and valued. The bulletin board help celebrates
the learners’ growth and progress.
Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through
interactive displays. They get students to think about and communicate their
learnings.
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness,
and durability.

Subject Area: TLE-7 Date: OCTOBER 17, 2023
1. Look at the walls of the classroom. What are posted on the walls? What
heroes, religious figures, lessons, visual aids, announcement, do you see
posted?
In some rooms, the walls have bulletin boards, school announcements, and
infographics about health and safety protocols. You can also find their school
vision and mission posted in every classroom.
2. Examine how the pieces of furniture are arranged. Where is the teacher’s
table located? How are the tables and chairs/ desks arranged?
Teacher’s table is located in front of the classroom. Adjacent to the door and in
front of the students’ desk.
Chalkboard in front of the classroom.
Students’ desks are placed at the center.
In my own observation of the classroom, the facilities in the classroom are really
helpful in encouraging students to learn, in my opinion. The classroom is not
particularly warm or comfy for studying. The room's surroundings and atmosphere
are not particularly appealing, although it is well-ventilated. There are a few
educational and informational displays but no wall displays. 30 to 40 students can
be comfortably seated in each room while maintaining personal space. Some of
the student armchairs don't seem well perhaps because they are beautiful
ancient. The outdoors trees and vegetation could be seen from inside the room
through the window. The school is conductive to learning-which matters the most.
ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the
students going to school? What are your conclusions?
Students' classrooms are the school grounds and the classroom. As an outcome,
what makes up these two may have an immediate impact on how well children learn.
Students will begin to consider skipping school if the setting is poor in the classroom
and school. For instance, there are schools nowadays that are particularly cost-
conscious, where the ratio of students to chairs is insufficient, causing some kids to
sit on the floor. I therefore draw the following conclusion from this example: If a
student is not at ease or content with a certain school, he or she will become lazy
and skip class, but if the student is at ease or satisfied with the amenities of a school,
he/she will be more eager to attend school.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/ How does tips
this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
As future educator, by these instances I will know that there are many factors that
can affect the student to attend and not to attend school. And by knowing such
factors, I can adjust to what my students will need.
REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? and why
not?
Maybe yes. Although the surroundings not being overly calm but being covered in
beautiful pastures that brighten the day and provide a cool and cozy environment, the
educational environment is quite approachable.
2. What kind of school campus is conductive to learning?
A classroom that is conducive to learning is a classroom with proper chairs,
functioning electric fans for the ease of students, all other facilities that will greatly
contribute for the attainment of knowledge of the students and most especially an
expert teacher by profession and by heart.
3. What kind of classroom is conductive to learning?
Warm and well lit, well ventilated, desk is organized and functional, surroundings is
clean and bring positivity among students.
4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?
To accomplish a classroom that is conductive to learning, I will make sure that the
room is clean through encouraging the students to take a part in cleaning the room.
Through this, I am also helping the students to be aware of their duties and
responsibilities and helping them develop discipline and cooperation in working in
their classmates.
The display board, or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is one of the most
readily available learning resources
To achieve the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps;
1. Examine for bulletin board display. Includes the samples of those found at the
entrance, lobby, hallway and classroom
2. Pick one and evaluate the display
Check the column that indicates your rating. Write comments to back up your
ratings.

ANALYZE
Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display board. Use the
form below.
My Proposed Board Display
Rationale:
(Purpose)
To Inform the students about their moral character, with the board display,
making an announcement effectively is easier. Convenience, effectiveness and
engagement are what board display can offer. It also guarantees that every information
will be conveyed to a large number of audiences. The enhanced board display of the good
character aims to improve the behavior/character of the students and it gives information
that is beneficial to the students and the campus community.
Objectives:
To be able to create and design an enhance version of the board display
which is more attractive, clear and well-arranged and secured.
Best features of my proposed bulletin enhancement:
The best feature of my proposed bulletin enhancement is the use of glass as
its cover. In this way, the postings on the bulletin board are protected from any form of
damage and vandalism.
Content Resources (Name each needed resource and give each a brief description):
- Cartolina – the background of the whole board
- Colored papers- as the background of the labels
- Printed labels – these will classify the information/materials posted
- Pictures- for enhancement
- Glue and tape- to attach the materials
Materials for aesthetic enhancement:
New bulletin board with glass cover
ANALYZE
1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with
effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
Creative - A teacher should be creative to be able to design an attractive display
board
Resourceful- A teacher should be resourceful so that he/she could use
raw materials in designing.
Critical Thinking skills- A teacher must analyze, evaluate and reflect on the
concept about the information to be posted.
Excellent grammar skills- A teacher should always proof read everything that need to be
posted to avoid grammatical errors that might lead to misinformation.
Organizational skills- A teacher should know how to contrast, group and arrange
information or content in a meaningful way.
2. Which of the skills you named in #1 do you already have? Recall your past
experience in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?
Among the abilities listed on number 1 that I already possess are creativity,
resourcefulness, critical thinking, and organizational skills. As I think back to my
previous experience in creating board displays, I can see that I have been
imaginative in designing because I studied making paper crafts that we used for the
borders; I am quite resourceful because I used old boxes to glue into the paper for
elevation to make emphasis; I can also analyses and evaluate information to be
posted so that the design be relative to it; and lastly, I have the organizational skill to
group and arrange information in the most possible and meaningful way.
3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how
you can improve on or acquire these skills?
I need to work on improving my grammar so that I can evaluate anything that needs
to be posted and feel comfortable using the English language in public. When
speaking, I occasionally lose confidence because I run out of English words and
believe my grammar is incorrect. I'm watching English films and listening to
audiobooks to learn these skills.

ANALYZE
Write the most salient developmental characteristics of the learners you observed. Based on
these characteristics think of implications for the teacher.
REFLECT
1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experiences when
you were their age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners
you observed?
As I watched these students’ study, I could see the young myself. Like a typical pre-
school, I was animated and cheerful in class. I enjoy grabbing everyone's attention.
However, I prefer to play alone most of the time and never wish to play with others.
As I get better grades, I begin to love conversing with others, discussing my
preferences and telling them about most of my fantasies. In elementary school, I
didn't have many friends who could cheer me up while I was being harassed or
bullied. I was a total sap at the moment. I couldn't take being let down. I was hard to
talk to. Like all teenagers, I experienced mood swings frequently in high school.
However, with my parents' and instructors' assistance, some of the close friends I
had, I was able to manage my emotions well especially when being mad.
2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did she/he
help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive)?
How did it affect you?
As I have mentioned above, I only had few friends. And this what bothers my Grade
6 teacher, because I am not the friendly type. She often tells me to start making
friends and being nice with others. I am not mean, but I was really unapproachable
that time. My teacher told my brother about it and he really helped me to at least feel
comfortable with others. And because of her, I started to make new friends and to
feel comfortable with others.

differences are factors that influence learner’s performance. A teacher must be able
to respond with their needs no matter how diverse they are. Teachers need to
modify every strategy or approaches they use these when dealing with different
group of learners. But the most important thing is that the teacher must accept these
differences and influence other students to feel confident with themselves because
they are unique.

2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners:
a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and
experiences
b. Learners’ linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents
d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic
isolation, chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban
resettlement or disaster, child abuse and child labor.
Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors
mentioned affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They
remember that the learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers assure the
students that their gender identity, culture and religion are respected, their strengths
are recognized, and their needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that everyone
has the chance to learn and succeed. They create a learning community where everyone
can work together and contribute regardless of their abilities, capacities and circumstances.
Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:
OBSERVE
Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your
observation report on the space provided on the next page.
1. Find out the number of students. Gender data as their ages, gender, racial groups,
religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
During class:
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students
interact with one another and with the teachers. Are there groups that interact
more with the teacher than others.
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they
behave and interact differently?
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Does the learner’s cooperative with
or compete against each other?
4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most
help?
5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the
classmates try to help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher will
call them instead?
Outside class:
1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogeneously, by age?
By gender? By racial or ethnic groups? By their interests? Or are the students in
mixed social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected the
learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.
Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse students due
to following factors:
Gender, including LGBT
Language and cultural differences
Differences in religion
Socio-economic status

OBSERVATION REPORT

School Address: Daet, Camarines Norte
Date of Visit: September 6, 2021
There are a total of 42 students in the class, 19 boys and 23 girls with age ranges from 16
to 19. 80% of the class are Roman Catholic while the rest have different Christian religion.
Their height goes from 4’11 to 6’3 and about 10% are bi-racial.
During Class:
The class is very noisy and competitive, the smart students compete which answer is the
most valid and correct answer. While the others just wait until they are done. But debating
is the class’s most favorite activity.
Some of the students answer, but some don’t, but they just raise up and the teacher help
them answer. The teacher obviously calls out the students behind because she knows
that these kids are not paying attention.
The quiet students or the ones who are quiet in general do their normal students’ stuff,
some listened to music, some stayed back played games on their phone, while others
watch anime and read their books.
Outside Class:
The students group themselves based on their interests, some are interested in K-POP
and Foreign Pop Culture, others are grouped because they came from the same
section/school previously and some are in the groups with same gender.
A student who’s not interacting with anyone is the transferee from other school. The
student is still waiting for someone to approach him first, and still trying to learn his new
environment.
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?
There was a joker in the class who’s always kidding and joking. He hangs around
with every classmate, asks for food because he’s lazy. There was also a top student
who also serves as the leader of the class always try to tell the class to keep quiet
although not all listen to her. There was also a student who acts as the secretary of
class even though she’s really not. The teacher always asks her to write the
assignments on the board, collect printing fees and the one who write the names of
the naughty students.
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.
3. What does the teacher do to address issues like this?
The teacher influences the students to be supportive of each other and to respect
each other’s’ differences by being mindful and careful of their words, and to be
available for each other as friends who are willing to help and be their emotional
support. In addition, the teacher encourages the students accept and appreciate
each other’s opinion and belief about a certain matter, as well as their interest,
hobbies and preferences.
4. What the teacher influences the class interaction considering the individual
differences of the students?
The teacher makes sure that she is aware of students’ individual differences through
understanding their backgrounds, learning styles, hobbies and interest. The teacher
establishes friendly relationship with her students and encouraging them to be open
for communication while fostering respect in the classroom by letting them to talk
about their cultural backgrounds. The teacher also tries to integrate celebration of
cultural differences in every lesson in any way activities that allow the student
activities that allow the students learn about each other’s culture such as sharing,
role playing etc.
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.

SPED Class with intellectual disabilities
The class is composed of students with intellectual disabilities. There is a student who’s
not paying attention to the teacher, he was sitting at the back and talking with his
seatmate. When the teacher was presenting a video, everybody became excited and
started clapping their hands. They were a bit noisy. One student is very energetic as she
keeps on clapping her hands and stomping her feet while he is watching the video. While
some are watching the video, others were just looking at their classmates and doing their
own stuff like playing with their pens. When the teacher was asking a question, one
student raised her hand to answer and the rest of the class raised their hands too. When
the student answered correctly the question, she was extremely happy and giggled for her
small achievement. Even though there is only one student who’s participative of the class,
the teacher tries to encourage others to at least share their answer or let them read. The
students interact well with their teacher and classmates during the discussion. According
to the teacher, her students experience
difficulty in understanding new information, have slow cognitive processing time and have
difficulty in comprehending abstract concepts. To respond to the learners’ needs, the
teacher uses clear and simple language, uses visual aids and employ various teaching
strategies.
As I observe the class, there are 5 students with low vision. 3 girls who are wearing
glasses are far-sighted while 1 boy have astigmatism and the other boy is near sighted.
Although they have minimal problems with their vision, they are still participative of the
class. In fact, 2 of them were top students of the class. There were no special treatment or
biasness in the class but the teacher ensures that the needs of the students we’re
provided. For example, the teacher created an effective seat plan considering the
students’ needs. As much as possible, the teacher encourages the class to be confident
and to be the leaders of their own. She gives everybody an opportunity to lead in every
class activity and celebrate oneness in the class.
ANALYZE
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?
As a future teacher, I will be needing the following dispositions and traits to respond
to my learners’ needs:
Expectation that I will be handling a classroom with students with wider-
ability levels.
Additional time and effort to meet the needs of the learners.
Continuous innovation and brainstorming of effective strategies and
approaches in handling students with different levels of abilities.
Effective communication to establish good relationship with students while
being a good listener for them.
Focus on collaboration along with the belief that this is more effective than
letting the students’ liabilities
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.

“We want to learn so we cannot be deceived by other people.” – This is the main goal of
IP students in Capas, Tarlac on why they want to pursue learning.
Flora Primary School in Maruglu, Capas, Tarlac is a school exclusively for Aeta-Magantsi
students or commonly known as Negritos. There are more or less 50 students in the
school with only 3 teachers. With the travel conditions, the students contact hours with the
teachers are 4 days.
Each classroom has mixed of different grade level students. One classroom is composed
of Grade 4 and Grade 5 students due to the lack of teachers and the facility. However, the
class are very interactive as they participate in every class discussion. They are very
determined to learn amidst the inadequacy learning materials such as books. One student
said that they are using a Grade 4 textbooks instead of Grade 5 textbooks because the
rainy season hinders the delivery of the books to their school. Teachers are also
resourceful and creative with their instructional materials. Even though they find it hard to
teach using chalk and board only, they still find ways on how to teach the lesson
effectively. For example, one teacher shared his idea that he used pebbles from the river
to teach addition or multiplication. Furthermore, they are adhering to the indigenized
curriculum. One teacher shared his challenge in teaching alphabets based on the words
that we commonly associate with the letter. Instead of teaching letter “A” using apple, he
uses those words that are more familiar to the students.
The challenge in the curriculum is also a factor that affects the progress of the students’
learning. Indigenous Peoples Education Curriculum Framework is not utilized in this
school because it is not yet distributed to them. So, they resort to the Old Curriculum
Framework. But the time frame in this curriculum is not applicable with the IP students’
ability level. Sometimes, one topic covers 3 days.
No matter how eager and effective a teacher is, the problem with the lack of food affects
the students’ performance in the school which makes it hard for teachers to achieve their
objectives which is to help the IP students to learn better.

What do you think can still be done to promote and uphold the indigenous people knowledge
systems and practices and rights in schools?
Based on what I have gathered from the video of Aeta students in Tarlac, the
following are my suggestions regarding the knowledge systems and practices and
rights of indigenous peoples in the Flora Primary School:
1. The DepEd Division of Tarlac must ensure that the IPED curriculum is distributed
in the mountain schools including those schools that are exclusively for IP students.
2. The DepEd Division of Tarlac must arrange effective strategies for teachers who
are struggle travelling from their houses to the mountain schools without sacrificing
the contact hours of students with their teachers.
3. The DepEd Division of Tarlac should hire more teachers to teach in indigenous
people and provide them appropriate compensation.
4. The DepEd Division of Tarlac must provide modern instructional materials for the
teachers to use and learners’ materials such as textbooks.
5. The curriculum for indigenous framework should emphasize valuing of culture and
tradition of the indigenous peoples through integrating real-life concepts in each
lesson

indigenous learners? Why?
I admire the teachers in teaching in Oas Polytechnic School in terms of their
determination to teach the students no matter how difficult the situation is. I
appreciate their effort to travel 5-6 hours just to teach the students, and most
importantly they never give up on helping these students achieve their dreams. For
them, teachers are the only heroes that will help the students claim they’re to
education.

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.
1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of
layers of relationship systems that make up the learner’s environment. The layers
are:
The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner’s environment to
understand his behavior. The teacher’s important role is not to replace what is missing at
home (if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and
nurtures families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the family and the
community to bring out the best in every learner.
2. Baumrind’s Parenting Styles
Authoritarian Parents are very firm with their children and except unwavering
and unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met with
withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats.
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations.
Maybe warm and caring but appear to be involved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither
demanding nor responsive to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or
guidance.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have
clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with
respect and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their behavior.
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile,
and aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are
often impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of
independence and responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be least competent in their over-all
functioning and adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater
ability to show self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.

Environment
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:
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.
2. How many boys are there? How many girls?
3. Focus on their behavior. Are they able to manage their own behavior?
4. Can the learners already work independently?
5. Describe their span of attention.
The class is composed of Grade 7 students with varied characteristics. From how I
observe them, they are very participative in the class, they always share their ideas
and they are competitive. Their age ranges from 13-15 years old. There are 10 boys
and 20 girls. Although, they are a bit of noisy, their attitudes toward learning are
commendable. They are also respectful when approaching their teachers and
classmates. They are also eager to learn and try their best to give an in-depth answer
in oral activities. Their behavior shows how they are still young and still need guidance
from their teacher and parents. About 50% of the class are not paying attention, but
the rest of the class are focused, and jotting down notes from their teachers’
discussion. When working on their activities, they can accomplish it independently but
mostly prefer to work with their peers.
ANALYZE
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?
To start the class, the teacher greets the students and ask a representative
from the class to lead the prayer. Then, she asks everybody how they are
doing. Usually, students say they are doing good. She let them be seated
that starts to prepare her presentation (chalk, and visual aid). She also
records the attendance through calling the students’ last name. After that,
she proceeds with the lesson by a motivational activity.
5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this
help in managing the class?
In a high school classroom, noise level is quite high as students like to talk
a lot with their seatmates. During the discussion, all students are very
participative and everyone want to share their answers. However, the
teacher remains calm in telling them to lower their voices. She tells them
that that are also other classes that they can disturb with their loud noises.
REFLECT
2. Classroom Rules The classroom rules are The rules help them to
well established and become responsible and
effective. well-mannered.
ANALYZE
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learner’s behavior?
It makes the student more alert with their actions. They tend to be organized also,
they’ll be able to prioritize the things that they have to do in order or them to follow
the schedule and be mindful with the things that they will do.
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?
She should consider first the things that will help the students be more organized and
also considering the time that she will have for her students to talks, ask and
question about how they are. Also, take time to seek for the misbehavior in class in
order for them to think that each move they are taking with are being monitored
despite the freedom that you as a teacher gave to them.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners?
In motivating students? Why were they effective?
For me, the positive one because, this will give the student te courage to pursue the
things that you have said to the students because you are able to talk to them in way
that they will never ever felt like they are being mistreated too much. This will give
them a big effect in regards to their performance.
REFLECT
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade level do you
see yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider for this level why?
In the near future, I see myself teaching junior high school students in my English
class. I will start my class through a prayer, which for me is very important. To be
followed by asking them about how they are doing, are they happy, what do they feel
about our subject, etc. These questions will help me determine the current status of
students regarding learning my classes. I can also find out easily the strategies that I
need to carry out to address their needs if they ever shared to me what do they feel
about learning my subject. Then of course, the usual procedures like attendance,
motivational activity and actual discussion with constant posing of questions to check
their comprehension.
2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you
choose these rules?
The rules that I would most-likely to implement in this group of students are the
following:
1. Be on time. – To help them realize the value of punctuality.
2. Be respectful. – A common rule that everyone should learn.
3. Follow Directions. – To remind them that through following directions, thing will
work well.
4. Keep Quiet. Raise your hand if you want to speak. – To minimize loud noises.
5. No foods/gums/drinks while in class discussion. – It is disrespectful for teachers if
the students are eating while they are discussing.
6. Ask questions. – To normalize raising queries if the concepts are not clear for
them. And also, to avoid them from making wrong outputs.
3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
Students need to be involved in the making of classroom rules to help them develop
their leadership skills as well as make them understand the value of being
responsible in their own action and behavior. It also allows for collaboration between
students and teachers in agreeing on the rules that they need to establish. But,
making the rules should be guided by the teachers as they are the one who knows
the guidelines and how to facilitate well in discussing the rules to include.
Direction: Read the items given below and encircle the correct answer.
1. Focusing on natural consequences of students’ behavior develops more self-
regulation in the students. Which of the following teacher statements demonstrates
focusing on natural consequences?
A. “Those who were noisy today during seatwork will not be allowed to play
games in the computer later”
B. “If it takes you longer to finish the seatwork because time is wasted with
chatting, then we won’t have time to go to the playground anymore”
C. “Those who are well-behaved in class will be given plus 5 points in the
quiz”
D. If you get grade of 95mor higher in the first two assignment, you will be
exempted from the third assignment.
2. Learners are more likely to internalize and follow classroom rules when______.
A. The teacher clearly explains the rules she prepared
B. The learners know the punishments for not following the rules
C. The learners participate in the rule-making process
D. The teacher gives additional points for those who follow the rules

Curriculum
SPARK Your Interest
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 curriculums. 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 needs 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.
So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school
curriculum, especially in the K to 12 or enhanced curriculum for the basic education?
Teachers then should be multi-talented professionals who:

Which of the seven types of curriculums in the school setting is easy to find? Why?
Among the seven types of curriculums in the school the following are easy to be
found, Recommended Curriculum (K to 12 Guidelines) Basic Education (DEPED), Higher
Education (CHED) and Vocational Education (TESDA). Written curriculum (Teacher’s Lesson
Plan) Syllabus, Module, Books and Lesson plans. Course of study Taught Curriculum
(Teaching Learning Process) Teachers always deliver their lesson. Supported Curriculum
(Subject Textbook) ICT Laboratory, Science Laboratory Etc. Assessed Curriculum
(Assessment Process) Standardized test, State test and Teacher-made test. And Learned

teaching method used by the Resource Teacher whether (inductive or inductive) which is the
practical realization or application of an approach. This episode dovetails with the course on
Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.
A teaching method consist of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-learning process.
It is the practical realization of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified either
deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).
DEDUCTIVE INDUCTIVE
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
Most Applied
As what I have observed the most applied principles of learning are the, “Learning is
the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of ideas” and “Learning in an
active process” it is where the students have a chance to participate and cooperate
with the discussion with their teacher.
Least Applied
The least applied principles of learning are the, “Effective learning begins with the
setting of clear and high expectations of learning outcomes” sometimes the teacher
is not well prepared with their visual aids so the students did not catch their
attentions.
Give instances where this/these principles /s could have been applied?
- Learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of ideas and Learning
in an active process.
Example: before the teacher start the discussion, she will ask a few questions which
is related to the topic and let the students give their ideas and thoughts so the
teacher will start the discussion with the given thoughts and idea of the students and
the active learning process will be applied.
- Effective learning begins with the setting of clear and high expectations of learning
outcomes.
Example: the preparation of the teacher for her visual materials.
- Learning is cooperative and collaborative process. Learning is enhanced in an
atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration.
- Example: the students will work together to finish and accomplish a certain task
given by their teacher
REFLECT
From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?
Principles of learning are the guidelines for the ways for the teacher achieve his/her
learning outcomes. For me the most important principle among the principles of
learning is the “Learning is an Active Process” because the learnings of the students
will always depend on how their teacher will discuss and elaborate the topic, if the
teacher did not explain the topic very well the students will not learn from her but if
the teacher is well prepared and knows.

The possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the
test is that the students will not extend their knowledge regarding the particular topic
because the teacher limit their concept of learnings.
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or
student-centered? Why?
If I were to reteach a class, I would still use the students-centered approach because

FS 1 10
Cycle
This Episode centers on the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods.
It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and teacher
education curriculum are focused on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode dwells on types of
questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of
questions that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and reacting to student
responses have a bearing on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories
learned in the course, Teaching Methods and Strength and in other professional subjects in
Education.
These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more sense that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhance learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of
information.
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its K to
12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has
been ahead of DepED and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of
Competency Standards-Based teaching and Assessment. CHED requires all higher
education institution in the country to go outcome-based education (OBE) in its memo 46, s.
2012. Outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE applied in the teaching-learning
process. It is equivalent to competency-based and standards-based teaching and learning in
the Kto12 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in
turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In other
words, in OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives).
Then you determine which teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and also the assessment tasks
(ATs) you will have to use to find out if you attained your ILOs.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery
learning of teach and the ATs are the evaluation part.
Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the art
of questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instructions.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.
Types of Questions that Teachers Ask
a) Evaluation
b) Inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked
it up, she was all smiles. What can you
infer about Liz.
c) Comparison
d) Application
e) Problem-solving
3. Affective e.g. How do you feel?
These are also some of the reading techniques that teachers use:
1. Providing acceptance feedback
2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow-up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as “okay”, “right”

queries that the students don’t understand in their discussion so the teacher will
know if she explains and discuss the topic.

conduct a quick interview through chat about their thoughts of "outcomes - based teaching
and learning". I find out that they have the same thought about the OBTL, in which its focused
is not on the teacher intends to teach but on what is the outcome from the learner intended to
be. Also, they said that it is important that the activities or assessment we gave to the learners
are aligned to the learning outcome.

With the lightning speed by which technology is involving, and now with 4.0, technology
continues to be an ever-significant part of the learning environment. This episode provides an
opportunity for students to examine a Learning Resources Center or Multi-Media Center and learn
about its collection, service, equipment, observe how a teacher utilizes technology for instruction, and
explore resources in the virtual learning environment. Students will analyze and reflect on how
technology, including artificial intelligence, supports the teaching-learning process.
Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide
teachers as they develop their ICT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level 2, Knowledge
Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Communication on Higher Education Teacher
Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most likely you have tackled this in
your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes.
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this episode.
The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect about the competencies
discussed in the framework.
The Learning Resource Center
1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the teaching-learning process.
Over the years the name of this center has evolved. Some of the names are Audiovisual Center, Media
and Technology Resource Center, Teaching-Learning Technology Department, Or Simply Learning
Resource Center.
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcomes was the ever-expanding interface between the
traditional library and ICT both in term of hardware and software system and application.
3. School may have different set-up when it comes to a Learning Resource Center (LRC). Some have
replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a separate library, LRC, and Audio Visual or Media
Center. Some only have the LRC both for teachers and students. Still some have combined their
learning resource center with maker space.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio visual and ICT resources to
support the teaching-learning process.
5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use of audiovisual and ICT
resources, working with teachers and administrators in producing instructional materials, making
available useful resources to the students, teachers, and the school community.
6. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must fulfill the following function:
center of resources, laboratory of learning, and agent of teaching, service agency, coordinating agency,
recreational reading center, and a link to other community resources.
Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for you to define and
evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you in the process of achieving effective
teaching with technology. The teacher’s integration of technology in instruction can be described as progressing
in 5 levels: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and enables quality
technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the learning environment are being active,
collaborate, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed.
The technology integration matrix connects the levels of technology integration and the characteristics
of the learning environment. Examine the matrix below. To make you understand how integration is done in each
of the levels and environment, explore the TIM website and learn from the many interesting videos showing

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented speed at which
technology is involving has disrupted many vital processes that involve how we run production, businesses and
consequently how we teach and learn. The following Technology trends have huge potential to transform
the ways teach and learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resource (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for teaching and learning
that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is an abundance of OERs in the form of
textbooks course materials, curriculum maps, streaming videos, multimedia apps, and many others.
They can have a significant impact on education as they are made available and easily accessible in the
internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this episode.
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact, learn about things and
share information. Sites and apps such us Facebook , twitter, Instagram provide a virtual venue for
teacher and learners to work together interact among themselves and with other classrooms locally and
globally.
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also one who send the
greatest number of text message per day. This indicates the high number of mobile device users. These
devices can also be used as a learning tool by allowing teachers and students more opportunities to
learn inside and even outside the classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. Lot is a system of computing mechanism that built-in into many everyday
things, that allow sending and receiving data through the internet. A lot of things have turned “smart”.
We have smart cars that can navigate on its own. Smart houses that monitor temperature and light.
Smart TVs that interface with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our doctor. All of this
development can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when computers or machine
simulate thinking and behavior of humans such as talking, learning and solving problems. Virtual
assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google assistant are near samples of AI. Among others, uses
of AI in Education can be in the areas of gamification and adaptive instruction for learners with special
needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by a computer program
that allows a person to visit and experience the environment virtually. In AR, images form computer
programs interlay with the actual views of the real-word, resulting in an extended, expanded, or altered
view of a real-world environment. In education, among others, VR and AR programs and apps allow
more exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that add to the motivation and engagement of
learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transaction are done electronically, and through the
internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and sorted. The challenge is how sense of this data,
through analytics and research pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning most
effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites. Today, there are
learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as kindergarten. Robotics programs in the
elementary and secondary programs introduce and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps
learners develop novel ways of exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with the problem or
project-based learning approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly technology is changing
and impacting our lives. Through all this, It is crucial to ensure that human values and principles govern
or guide our use of technology. Ethical practices that protect the rights of every person need to be
upheld.

response?
YES, the teacher said that three times, after asking her student “did you understand?” if
her student’s response negative, she will explain again a certain part of the lesson to
clarify it.
3. Did the students make the teacher feel or sense they did not understand the lesson
or a part of the lesson? How?
Students somehow make their teacher feel that they did not understand some part of
the lesson by keep on asking the teacher give more examples.
5. Were the students given the opportunity to ask questions for clarification? How was
this done?
Yes, their teacher is always asking them if there is “any questions and clarifications
please raise your hand.”
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.
______ Peer tutoring (Tutor were assigned by teacher to teach one or two classmates
______ Each-one-teach-one (Students paired with one another)
______ Teacher gave a Module for more exercises for lesson mastery

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 formulates new strategy and method to re-teach the lesson in an easiest
and clearest ways for the students to understand the lesson.
8. While re-teaching by himself/herself and / or with other students-turned tutors, did
teacher check on students’ progress? If yes, how?
The teacher will check the progress and development by giving the students an
assessment to measure if they already learned the lesson.
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?
In order for the teachers to determine that the strategies and methods they use and
applies are effective or not. It is not better to do a once-and-for-all assessment because
students’ ability and knowledge only depends if the lesson was clearly discussed that is
why is it better to give them an assessment after the discussion.
2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask “Did you understand, class? “When he/she
intends to check on learners’ progress?
It is because there is a chance and possibility that the students did not clearly
understand the lesson.
3. Should teacher record results for formative assessment for grading purposes? Why or
why not?
Giving an activity or task before and after the discussion is the effective way to
determine if the students understand the lesson.
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?
The students can speak their own ideas and thoughts easily with their classmates.
They are not shy and afraid on getting some correction from their classmates and stay
focus and cooperative with them.
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, because when a teacher successfully applied the formative assessment, failure to
achieve learning and its objectives at the end of term can be avoided. Because as soon
as possible you’ll be able to reteach and fix that the learners will fully understand what
are being taught.
REFLECT
Formative assessment is tasting the soup while cooking. Reflect on this and
write your reflections.
Formative assessment is an assessment conducted for monitoring learners progress
throughout the lesson. It is like tasting the soup while cooking, because you are
adding spices and ingredients to achieved desired tastes, just like when teaching
formative assessment allows you to prepare the learners on achieving the learning
goals.

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?
I agree because the goal of the teacher is to let students learned and developed their
skills and knowledge so all the assessment must support to their learning for them to
be able to relate to the assessment.
2. Does assessment as learning have the same ultimate purpose as assessment for
learning?
Assessment of learning is a way to see if the students understand and can do while
assessment for learning is a way to see what a teacher can do in response.
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?
Yes, based on my experiences of assessment in school we are given opportunities
to assess ourselves based on our records and ask what grade we deserve. Self-
assessment helps me to determine what are the things that I need to practice and

2. What are possible consequences if teacher’s assessment tasks are not aligned to learning
outcome/s Does this affect assessment results? How?
It may cause confusion and misunderstanding to the side of the students and it may
cause for not achieving what was the learning outcomes.
Reflect on past assessments you have been through. Were they aligned with what your
teacher taught (with learning outcomes?
In my experiences, all the assessments that I have encountered was anchored and
align to the learning outcomes. As a learner it is helpful because I have an idea on
what things do I need to focus. And I realize that the proper construction of learning
outcomes is really important to make the students aware on they are going to
achieve at the end of the discussion.
How did this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you learn from
this past experience and from this observation?
It affects my performance in terms of making myself ready for the discussion and I

REVISIT the Learning Essentials
There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools.
Authentic/ non-traditional /alternative assessment tools measure learning outcome like
performance and product.
These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric.
A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student’s work that includes descriptions of levels of
performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013)
The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.
There are two types of rubrics – analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each
criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole.
For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.
A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is rated,
the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance.
ANALYZE
1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you think that type
pf rubric was used more?
Holistic rubric, it is not easy to use by just giving marks to the learner’s performance.
2. Based on your answers in # 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made and used
by the Resource Teachers?
The resource teacher uses a holistic rubric. It was clear and be easily to understand
by the students.
3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product or
performance without scoring rubrics? Explain.
It may be possible to not assess the students’ performances because it can hard for
the teacher to give them grades fairly.
4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how?
It may be really difficult for me to improve a scoring rubric but for me I want to
improve the creativity and the grammar because it will help the students to become
better.
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?
Yes, a rubric contributes to assessment because it will serve as a guide on giving
grades.
7. Does the Scoring Rubric in this FS Book I help you come up with better output?
Yes, because I’ am able to suit my performance based on the standards given by the
teachers
REFLECT
Are authentic assessment tools and task new? Reflect on your experiences of tests for all
the years as a student.
Authentic assessment is not a new task because when I start studying authentic
assessment is used by our teacher to grade our activities and essays fair and equal.

Students’ Reflection
The activities or words that are appropriate for the objectives and the objectives
should meet on those activities that are included in the portfolio to assess if the
students learned what they were supposed to learn are the foundation for the
selection of pieces of evidence to demonstrate that the students learned what they
were supposed to learn.
2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio, based on the parts, under which type of portfolio
does this fall?
This portfolio can be classified as a development or growth portfolio based on the
characteristics listed above.
3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolios?
First is the development/growth which is used by teachers to determine whether or
not their children are changing and developing. The showcase/display portfolio is the
next step, in which students demonstrate their abilities in a certain area. It’s a typical
product or service task. The other is the assessment evaluation portfolio, which is
when the teacher reviews or evaluates the students prior learning and then gives
them the same activity to see if their objectives are reached.
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?
The portfolio evaluation facilities the learning assessment process since it allows you
to see if your pupils are making progress and developing through various types of
portfolio, Yes, the effort put into portfolio assessment is commensurate with the
improvement in learning and development of learners metacognitive processes that
come as a result of the students’ progress and development, particularly the

With the implementation of the Enhanced Basic Education Program of 2013, more
popularly known as K-12 Curriculum, came a new grading system of the Department
of Education. Refer to Appendix A for more details.
The latest grading system in basic education includes students’ performance in
written tests and performance tasks, which emphasis on the latter. The quarterly
exam may be a combination of written tests and performance task.
OBSERVE
C. Interview of 5 Students
2. Do you have problems with the new grading system, if there is, what?
They actually don’t have problems with the new grading system.
3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your performance? Why
or why not?
The students preferred the new grading system, because it is no longer zero based.
Because of that there is no chance they get a failing grade as long as they will study.
All grades will be based on the weighted raw scores of the learners “summative
assessments, The minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning area is 60,
which is transmuted to 75 in the report card, The lowest mark that can appear on the
report card is 60 for quarterly grades and final grades.
2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1 to 10 and Grades 11 to 12?
Give an example.
In a grading period, there is one quarterly assessment but there should be instances
for students to produce written work and to demonstrate what they know and can do
through performance tasks. But these must be spread out over the quarter and used
to assess learners’ skills after each unit has been taught.
According to my resource teacher she will sum up the quarterly grades of her
students from first to fourth grading to compute the final grades of every student in
different subject.
4. What descriptors and grading scale are used in reporting progress of learners?
The learners report card
5. What are the bases for learners’ promotion and retention at the end of the school
year?
The bases for learners’ promotion are when the students get a higher grade after
computing the overall of her grades from first to last quarter but if she got a below 75
grades the she not going to promote.
6. What is the report on learners’ observed values?
The report on learners observed values will depend on the behavior of every student
inside or outside of the classroom.
ANALYZE
1. Do teachers and students like new grading system? Why or why not?
Yes, teachers and students like the new grading system. For teachers, they believed
that it will put an end to unhealthy competitive behavior among top achievers. It will
alleviate cultural pressures and give the students more freedom. For students, they
said: it is no longer zero based, Because of that there is no chance they get a failing
grade as long as they will study.
2. What are the good points of the new grading system according to teachers? According to
students?
For teachers, the good points of the new grading system are that they no longer have
to give failing grades to the students who do not excel too much in performances but
excelled when it comes to written outputs and quarterly assessments. The same with
the student sentiments.
3. What are the teachers challenged to do by this new grading system?
The teachers are challenged on how they would be able to give a not failing grades
to the students who do not excel in written and performances but passing in the
quarterly assessment.

Demonstrates a natural This teacher volunteers’ tasks for others, always willing to
action to work together with share, extends help willingly, accepts responsibility, tolerant
others 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 level or high school level. You should also earn license
to teach by passing a licensure examination for teachers. While studying in college you are
learning the ropes of becoming a professional teacher. You learn the content courses
including the major or specialization and the professional courses including the pedagogy
courses. Your professional courses include experimental learning courses that include Field
Study 1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship. These are Important in your preparation to
become professional teachers.
So, what are the professional competencies that every teacher should have? You will
find these in the matrix that follow.
So, it is not easy to become a professional teacher. The demand is great. A qualified
professional teacher then is like a HERO.
Now you are ready to identify if the enumerated characteristics are found among the

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.

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.
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 the standards and the outcomes of
education towards which all curricular activities and teaching-learning should be directed

ANALYZE
1. Based on your findings and observations in Activity 16.1 and Activity 16.2, which
philosophies of education are dominant in Philippine basic schools? Why do you say so?
According to the findings, Filipino preservice teachers adhered to a high level of
progressivism educational philosophy and a high level of existentialist and
reconstructionism orientation. They also demonstrate strong commitment to the
ideologies of postmodernism and existentialism.
2. If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more attention to, what
should that be and why?
I think if there is one philosophy that a school should give more attention is the
constructivism philosophy in education, because the learners must be able to
construct their own knowledge and develop their own skill, constructing is also a way
of learning, through this, they will be able to gain a lasting and meaningful knowledge
in life, Schools should not rely on books and to what is being told to them only. They
should help students to widen their learnings.
REFLECT
What is your philosophy of teaching? This describes what you believed you should
teach, how you should teach and how you should relate to others in school- with the
learners, your colleagues, your superiors and all other stakeholders. Write them down. This
is your title, “My Philosophy of Teaching”
My Philosophy of Teaching
A good teacher has a powerful trust in the future. I know I may not see the rewards of
my hard work as teacher, just like a tree seed that I planted I will never see the tress in
all its beauty. A competent teacher must be a knowledgeable about her subject
matters and must be creative to teach their students in using different types of
methods and strategies. As a future teacher I will be more passionate about what
profession I have chosen.
