LEARNERS DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT

 

                             SCHOOL AS A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Date of visit: JULY 26,2011 The school that I observed was Burauen North Central School in which the classrooms, offices, and buildings are conducive for student learning. It develops students’ social interactions. Conducive physical learning Environment is safe, clean, and orderly. The school is found in place where the students can make their projects like computer shops. The classrooms are appropriate to the number of students. My impression on the offices was good. The school has different offices but one that I like among the offices is the office of the Principal of this school because it was very beautiful. I want in this school environment because the facilities, the classrooms and the offices are conducive for the student learning. The school should be located at the town. Beautification and cleanliness were undertaken of this school by tree planting and proper waste disposal. As a future teacher, I will care the classroom.

                      Learner’s Characteristics and Needs

Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Date of visit: AUG 02, 2011 The students that I was observed in this episode are the grade VI pupils. In terms of physical domain, the students were move clumsy and smooth. Students are good in writing and drawing. In terms of social domain, they have good interactions with their teacher. They help each other to answer their exercises. They are concern to each other. In terms of emotional, they are serious every time they have a class lesson. And in terms of Cognitive domain, they comprehend easily by the help of their teacher.             I recall my own experiences when I was at this age, my teacher in math helps me a lot to widen my knowledge. The students that I was observed are similar to our batch when we are at this age because they are also disciplined by their teacher. My favorite theory of development is Erickson’s Psychosocial because in this theory I learned a lot like knowing who I really am; I know how to discipline myself. I learned that life should be always positive. It helps me and guides me as a future teacher to know the development of the students. I should be develop my students grow.

                Classroom Management and Learning          

My observation report here:

Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Date of visit: AUGUST 23, 2011 As I observed in the class, the characteristics of the learners were very active. They are well-concentrated with their lesson. The classroom organization and routine affect the learners’ behavior by following the rules and procedures of the classroom. The teacher have in mind when she designs the classroom organizations and routines should be the students become knowledgeable and skilled, organized a comfortable and pleasant physical environment for ease in mobility and flow of learning activities. The behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners are following the routines, sensitive to positive and negative interactions in order to maintain discipline and order.             The routines and procedures that I consider for this level to discipline them and to maintain the cleanliness of the classroom are daily attendance, prayers, keeping tables and chairs in order before leaving, cleaning blackboard to be ready for next topic and cleaning stains or drops after the lesson.

                                                                                                                                                                       Individual differences and Learners Interaction

My observation report here:

Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Date of visit: September 06, 2011 The students that I was observed are the groups that interact more with their teacher than others. They behaved and interacted differently. All in the groups participated actively. There are some students ask for most help. When the students are called by their teacher, and cannot answer the teachers’ question, their classmates try  to help each other. I am proud with their teacher because of her ability to make them disciplined. I feel a sense of oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher and learners because they are all cooperate. As a future teacher, I want the learners interact in a good way. I will encourage all learners to interact and participate with my class by calling their attention and making them as one.

 

                                                                                                                                     

1.     Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade level do you see yourself? What routines would you consider for this level? Why?  

2.     Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these rules?

3.     Should learners be involve in making in class rules? Why?

                                     

1.      How did you feel being in what classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher and the learners?   

2.     In the future, how would you want learners in your classroom to interact? How will you make this happen?

3.     How will you encourage all learners, regardless of religious, ethnic or racial background, to interact and participate?

                         

1.      Identify the persons who play key roles in he relationships 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 double/pessimist?

2.     Are students coming from the minority group accepted or rejected by the others? How is this shown?

3.     How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering differences of the students?

4.     What factors influence the grouping of leaner’s outside the classroom?

                                    Individual Differences and Learners Interaction

                        My observation report here:

		Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Date of visit: September 13, 2011 The students who performed well in the class that I was observed are those who are present in the class. Some of the students come from average family and above average family in terms of socio- economic status. The methods and strategies that I will remember in the future to ensure that I will be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in my class are encourage learners to share their personal history and experiences, communicate high expectations to students from all sub-groups, adopt to the students’ diverse backgrounds and learning styles by allowing them personal choice and decision making opportunities concerning what they will learn and how they will learn it.

 

1.      Did your observation match information given by the teacher? Were you able to correctly identify who among the students performed well and who did not? What helped you identify them? (Volunteering to answer, responding to teachers directions, etc.)

2.     Describe the difference in ability levels of the students in the class. Is there a wide gap between the students who are performing well and those are not?

3.     Describe the methods used by the teachers in handling the students differences in abilities/ how did the students respond to the teacher?

 

1.      Recall the time when you were in the 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?

2.     With the principle of individual differences in mind, what methods and strategies will you remember in the future to ensure that will be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in your class?

 

                                HOME-SCHOOL LINK

My observation report here:

Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL School address: Date of visit: September 20, 2011             The student that I was interviewed in this episode was a grade V-sped, 10years old, male, and hasthre siblings. The style of parenting experienced by the learner that I was interviewed was authoritative, because his parent achieves a good blend. The student is socially competent, self reliant and has greater ability to show self-control. He has higher self-esteem and better adjusted.             The type of parenting that I was experienced is Permissive. My parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested. It affects me to study hard for them to give me care and importance. As a future teacher, I will make a meeting for the parents every grading period of the school year. I will discuss the attitudes of their daughter/son and telling the purpose of the meeting. I will help them by guiding their children and by understanding and talking with them. They will help me by doing what the right thing to do with their children.

EXPERINCING THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS

 

                                             Looking Through the Meaningful Learning                                                                                                   Experiences 

My observation report here:

Name of the School observed: Burauen north Central School Address:                                                                   date of Visit: Grade level: grade V-sped                                      Subject area: Math The class that I was observed has a teacher-centered principle in teaching-learning. The teacher explained what formulas were used in the equation, then discussed her lesson and give examples. The instructional materials used in teaching were chalkboard and books. They have charts that they may use in their lesson.             I feel comfortable in the class that I was observed because of the lesson that teacher discussed. I see myself in front of the class and ask myself will my future students will listen to me someday, will my future students will behave in my class someday or will my future students will reflect with my lesson? I feel nervous but I feel the excitement to experience teaching. Mixture of feelings I experienced during my observations in this class.

 

        Learners’ Characteristics and Needs

The topic of the lesson I observed was nouns. The teacher explained her lesson by asking her students and giving more exercises. She cleared if there is anyone who doesn’t understand the lesson. The learning activities that she used in his lesson were the students answered the exercises on the board, participated on the lesson, wrote the lesson on their notebooks and listened well.

The students were participated well in the class. The successful learner, instructional guidance, can create meaningful, coherent representations of knowledge. The learner can link new information with existing knowledge in meaningful ways. Students have different characteristics and needs. Knowledge widens and deepens as students continue to build links between new information and experiences and their existing knowledge base. Learners used strategic thinking in their approach to learning problem-solving and concept learning.

                                                                                                   

                                       Assisting Teacher with a “Teachers’ Toolbox”     

              The topic of the lesson that I was observed in this episode was fraction.The learners participate in the learning activities by answering the exercises given by their teacher. The instructional materials employed were chalk and board and textbooks. The teacher considered her students’ style and students’ intelligences.

             We have to actively engage the learners in learning activities if we want them to learn what we intend to teach. We have to give our students opportunities to participate in classroom activities. We have to give varied activities to our students for “hands-on-minds-on” learning.
