ACTIVITY 1Review a cooperating teachers plan or book.Document the levels of cognitive, affective and psychomotor objectives utilized.Write your observation below.CognitiveAffectivepsychomotor

In the cognitive aspect, wherein the intellectual operation from the lower level of simple recall of information to more complex one and the high- level of thinking process. It includes the students ability to recognize and recall the information taught; understand the meaning of the information; how to use the information; to generate new ideas and knowing the worth of the idea.In this aspect, using the writing about the story or their emotional aspect. Their English teacher teach them how to write a letter that can touch or relate the readers. I observe that the teacher has different technique.In the psychomotor aspect, where they have a activity that used their critical thinking and creativeness. They are making some activity using the actions or their skills.

Your analysis:

Do you feel that the materials are appropriate for the pupils being taught?In my observation in New Society National High School the materials are appropriate for the pupils because the students can understand. Their teacher in T.L.E made use as instructional materials such as books. He also used puppets so the students can get used to moving the hands in coordinated motion with the words they speak out. This is good for the psychomotor skills to develop. The props they will create will also make use of their creative side.Their teacher in Filipino used posters because she believes that 75% of what students learn is acquired thru vision. She said soliciting prior knowledge is very good way to start the class. She also believes that sometimes the questions asked are more important than the answers.People learn in different ways. Some people are auditory learners and some are visual learners. Others absorb and retain a great deal of information that theyve read while others need visual stimulants to make learning easier.Are the books up to date??Yes,

What decisions has the teacher made in deciding what materials to be used?The teacher decide to have a materials for teaching that the students understand carefully about the topic using the auditory and visual materials. Instructional materials are an excellent aid for students to have the best possible way of getting the attention of the students would be easier, the class would be more realistic, and it gives an opinion on the topic. When the instructional materials are well prepared and organized, a successful teaching-learning can be achieved.The teacher adhere the principles of learning and it makes the presentation of lesson be purposeful in thoughts as well as in action. The knowledge and skills needed by the students to attain was almost been learned by how she adopted the principles. The teaching itself was so smooth and the learners found very minimal hardship in acquiring learning. An active classroom environment was being created and the learners realize its importance in their lives.

ACTIVITY 2

Review the curriculum used by the teacher.Read the materials thoroughly. Find out what are the questions that can be asked. Obtain answers to these questions by asking some teachers or school authorities. Write a narrative that describes your questions and how you sought clarifications.QuestionsClarifications

1. What are the different between the curriculum in k-12 to the past curriculum?

2. What are the effective technique for the students to learn easily?

3. How can motivate the students by their teacher?

The different is the k-12 curriculum it added 2 years in high school and it has there specialization in their skills. We trying that the student grow in emotionally and all aspect.

Every individual has a different ways to learn there are somebody learn in visual and others in auditory materials. We are not depending on the instructional materials but also in how we teach the student, what could be the good effect to them. We are teaching based on what we know that can help to them to learn.

As I observe the teacher motivate the students by teaching respectfully and as being a role model. By using the different strategies and techniques.

ACTIVITY 3

Observe a series of lessons and document the teacher principles, methods and strategies for teaching used.Prepare a daily log on your observation. Write a narrative about your insights.

DAILY LOG:

Day 1: It was first introduced to New Society National High School to observe, I was assigned to 4th yr section Galilie. It was their Mathematics subject and the teacher is Ms.Polantos and their topic for the day is about measurements particularly the area of squares. I noticed that the teacher practice the principle of providing opportunities for learners. First, the teacher explains the topic itself, and then gives more examples so that the students will understand it better. After giving sample problems, the students are asked to participate. They are called randomly to answer the problem written on the blackboard. This type of approach is very effective because the students will also enhance their social interaction with his or her other classmates aside from their mental skills to solve the given problem, the reason why is that after answering the question, the students are asked to explain on how and what did they do to answer the questions.

Day 2:In my second day, their subject is Science and their teacher is Maam Che. By that time, they were checking their assignment, and the process of checking was good. They review each question one by one and recall their previous discussion. It is very effective, so that the teacher will know if the topic discussed was retained on the students mind and if the students really understand the subject topic that was discussed. After checking the assignment, Maam Che proceeds to introduce a new topic. As a sort of review, the teacher asked briefly what they discussed last meeting. And then going to the new topic, the principle of teaching-learning that was commonly applied was the wise use of resources. Maam Che presented a chart of the different kinds and layers of soil. The wise use of materials really caught the attention of students that made them retain their interest on the topic.

Day 3:On the 3rd day . Maam May Ann is their teacher and the subject was English. The teaching-learning that was applied is sharing of experiences of the teacher and the students. They are particularly discussing about Proper and Common Nouns and the students are asked to make their own constructed sentences out of the given proper and common nouns. The strategy used by the teacher is very effective because the students will be able to relate their experiences and all the other things that they know in constructing a sentence.

Day 4: This is the last day of my observation, their teacher in Economics using a projector and his lesson is using a power point the students is listening carefully to their teacher because the teacher can teach them with his attention because he is not going to write in the board. I observe that the students are interested in their lesson if the teacher is strict. They are very quit in that class because if someone is noisy they will stand until the class dismiss.

INSIGHTS:

Day 1:The teacher in mathematics try to teach her students in math to make them easy to understand because some of the students think that mathematics is difficult subject. She allowed the students to answer in the board. It is her technique that the students understand easily her topic. She is giving another point to those students who participate in the class discussion.

Day 2:The teacher in science is recalling the topic what they have been discussed in the past day. She is making an illustration so that the student can understand what she had discussed. By recalling the topic and giving some question she can measure what could be the part where the student has a difficulty.Day 3:As I observe in this day I learn more on different technique of the teacher where their English teacher after the discussion she pick some students to share their experiences using the words what theyve discuss. It so nice to hear to share the students where they are learning.Day 4:The teacher in Economics trying to do some techniques that the students can learn how to respect every individual. He want his student listen him carefully as a respect and teaching them with useful. Using his power point many examples and the students explore on his topic.

ACTIVITY 4Writing Various Techniques in Teaching a Subject AreaThis will assess various practices of teaching techniques in teaching a subject area.It will identify the significance of these practices in preparing prospective teachers in engaging their own design and pathway studies appropriate to the task of a professional teacher.It introduces prospective teachers as active researchers to the classroom context.1. Observe the school learning experiences the teachers demonstrate using varied techniques of teaching. What are the strengths or the development needs would be worth focusing on in this observation?

As I observe the teachers are using different strategies and techniques that can help to the students to learn about the subject. The way they demonstrate to the students or discipline by their self. Even the classroom is so noisy the teacher can manage it in the way of respect. For me I think it needs a little of interaction between the students and teacher because some of the students are shy to answer even they know it. The teacher need to think a strategies that the students can show their ability.

2. Analyze the techniqueThe technique they are using is good enough for the student to learn, by the using of the different technique of the teacher the experience in learning of the student is capable to their skills. The teacher see the students as unique individual. In my observation I learn more new technique that I can use in the near future.

3. Incorporate more enhanced or sophisticated technique that can be worked out.

As an observer in New Society National High school many different Techniques are using by the teacher that can help to the student to think critically and enhanced their ability. Showing to their student the importance of education is the basis for their good teaching

4. Indicate key features of the technique affected by the experiences and willingness to make changes on classroom instruction.

5. Reflect on and pan for continuous improvement of various teaching techniques using productive pedagogy.Write a summary record or development plan.

6. Write a learning journal indicating each of the above tasks as learning experience 1,2 and so on.

ACTIVITY 7The Competency Model in Basic Education requires the following approaches, namely:Flexible Approach Meaning you can work on your own and you are self-motivated. You can become an active member of a team and have experience in both capacities. You can take leadership role when this is required.Communication Skill You can demonstrate the acquisition of communication skills in reading analytically, writing fluently, speaking articulately and listening diligently. You can prepare a presentation using any tool.Communication You are willing to perform all tasks required of you to do. You have the thought of completing the tasks and willing to work outside classroom time. Skill 1. Predicting OutcomeWrite in the space below something good that will happen to education if all education graduates can develop what is suggested in the competency model.My Prediction

If all something good that will happen to education graduates can develop maybe the students are not difficult to teach and many strategies or technique can develop of the teachers. The students will cooperate to their teacher for the better. Many students can learn more effectively and they can share their knowledge to their classmate. There are many good effect to the students even to the teachers. I think many students will be interested in school and being a rule model many good attitudes can apply of the students. Education is more effective and the students can easy to understand the lessons. The teaching make easy and the interaction is in the four side of the classroom. As I observed while we are doing our task, I realized that the teacher must be creative in a way that she can be able to assess the students in their performances. The teacher can also use the various types of assessment techniques, to evaluate the level of the student learning capability. Because the assessment involves the gathering data or information, established type of product performance or recording sheet must be generated so that the students will be equip with skills and knowledge. The teacher also requires the students to bring portfolios. The portfolio is a systematic and purposeful way to collect and store the outputs of the students about their work. It provides documentation of students learning, knowledge and skill that they obtain from their teacher. If all this happen the goal of the individual is achieved.

My learning with the Different instructional tools

TEACHING PORTFOLIOSA teaching portfolio (sometimes referred to as portfolio) is a personal record of achievement and professional development as a teacher. It is a carefully selected and structured collection of materials that may demonstrate a level of attainment, a range of skills and activity, and/or progression.Portfolio can be assembled for different purposes for different purposes generally: for use in summative assessment as part of a qualification or program of study, and/or to demonstrate achievement for purposes such as passing through probation promotion and continuing professional development. The distinction between these two types of portfolios can sometimes be blurred, but it is a helpful aid to discussion of construction and related issues.A teaching portfolio requires the inclusion of authentic piece of evidence about the teaching and support for learning of practitioners. This evidence is not created just for the portfolio, but is a part of everyday practice. It is useful to put the evidence into context for the reader, for example by mentioning the courses, modules and units taught. Types of materials which might comprise the evidence include the following, in no particular order:

Self-authored documents such as studying guides or program specifications; Module descriptions including aims and objectives/outcomes; Session plants or planning notes; Records of supervised activities; Web-based learning resources; Problem-based learning triggers; AD (audio disk) materials, e.g. handouts from PowerPoint presentation; Students handouts or workbooks; Documentation to support practice teaching; Instruments for assessment of student learning; Summary of examination results; Examples of students work; Video, audio, DVD and photographic material; Self-authored C and IT (computer and information technology) materials; Self-created learning resources such as models; Printouts of electronic communications; Written evidence of observed teaching sessions; Details of courses and workshops attended on teaching and learning; Educational publication; List of recent professional development activities undertaken.

Activity 22

Interrogating PracticeAs a start towards getting into a reflective frame, think about the last piece of learning activities you did. List the aspects that seemed to go well; the things that didnt seem to work quite as well as expected and how you might change the latter and why.
