Step 2: Observe, the cognitive, metacognitive and
motivational processes in the classroom.

Your Tools

Year Level: ___Grade 7____________________________ Subject Area: __Mathematics_____________

1. What principles in teaching-learning were commonly used?

___I noticed that the teacher I observed was explaining the topic clearly and exactly. She gives_ more examples so that
the students understand the topic better. After giving examples and before to proceed in Quiz or Seatwork, she let the
students to ask her if they have dont understand in the topic. This approach was very effective because it helps the
students to enhance their__________ communication skill, and their social interaction to their teacher. And in
questioning, it helps the_ mental skills of the students to improve. And by checking their assignments, it helps the
student_ to understand their past topic because the teacher was asking the student one by one. And this___ approach
was very effective to her students.___________________________________________

2. What instructional materials were used in teaching?

The commonly used by the teacher are chalk, eraser and blackboard. Sometimes they used charts and flashcards to
make the lesson clearly. ____________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________

3. Which of the principles in teaching facilitate the cognitive, metacognitive, and positive motivational
processes of learning?
In the cognitive aspect, the teacher will provide some material to make the lesson easier._______ Sometimes she will
help the student to understand the topic of course. And she changes the way of______ teaching from lower section to another or
from the higher section to another. She always asking the____ student if they understand the topic. In the metacognitive
aspect, She work to guide her students to_____ become more strategic thinkers by helping them to understand the way they are
processing information._ She asked, in the positive motivational process of learning, she doesnt have any motivation to
motivate_ her students on her class. Thats why many of her students was feeling sleepy, became noisy and_______ sometimes
became weird.________________________________________________________________

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your

observation experience.
On my observation, I felt something different from my past. Because when I was a high
school student we are independent on our teacher. We do our part as a student to help our teacher.
But now a day, the students become sluggish. They didnt help their teacher to make their lesson
easier. I thought that they not serious on their studies. They more like to play than to study.
And also I observed the different strategies and approach the teachers are using to suit the
different needs of the students. And in my own opinion it helps the teacher to improve the quality of
the students learning. It helps her to deal with the students. Also providing the materials for the topic
will enhance the students knowledge and also it will make them interested on what she was
teaching.
But I also observed that the teacher dont have any motivation. Thats why the student didnt
participating on her class. And also I saw in her eyes that she cant do really dont know how to
handle or how to manage her class, some of the student was being wild, some of them was being
noisy, and some of them was sleeping. And sometimes they are weird. But on her teaching
strategies it is ok. She delivered the topic clearly, well and prepared. And also she did the part that
was given to her.

Your Target
At the end of this activity, the students will be able to identify and describe the teachers activity and
the behaviour of the learners in these activities.

Your Ways
After observing the principles of teaching and learning in the classroom setting, you will now start to
journey through the methods, strategies and approaches of teaching and learning by first observing actual
classroom teaching.
To hit your target, work your way through these steps:
Step 4: Reflect on your experience.
Step 3: Confer with the teacher regarding
observable and significant events.
Step 2: Record and highlight observable significant
event(s) in such teaching-learning activities and

MY JOURNAL

Step 1: Make a journal about the tasks performed by the

teachers as they their lesson noting patterns and variety.

Description of Teaching Strategies:

Based on what I observed, the commonly strategy used in classroom is
Deductive Method. Where the teacher is the one who motivated her students than
the students itself.

Description of Learning Activities:

Before the discussion, they recall their past topic. They conduct a
recitation during the class. And after the discussion, they have a maybe activities,
quiz, or groupings.

Description of Learners Participation (proportion of learners who participated and

quality participation)
Some of the students are much more willing to participate on their class
discussion and some of them are not. Many of the students are very talkative thats
why some of their classmates cant focus on their class discussion.

Based on what I observed, the commonly method used inside the classroom is
deductive Method where the teacher is the one whos moving inside the classroom. I
mean she is the one who make the discussion lively.

During the discussion, some of the students are willing to listen and participate
on the discussion. And some of them are not. Maybe because of the modern age, as
Grade 7 students, where they like to play more than to study. So that, I conclude that if
the teacher has any motivation, maybe she will get the attention of her students.
Because I observed that she doesnt have any motivation before, during or after the
discussion. Thats why the students became sluggish during her class.

Your Target
At the end of this activity, the students are able to identify the lesson objectives, learning objectives,
instructional materials and assessment tools used by the teacher and to draw insights from the teacher as to
the reasons of their use in such learning activities.

Your Ways
Now work your way towards a closer look at the methods, strategies, and approaches of teaching and
learning, as well as the instructional materials and assessment tools used.
To hit your target, work your way through these steps:
Step 3: Reflect on the reasons given by the
teacher interviewed.
Step 2: Interview the teacher on the reason behind
the use of observed learning activities and
Step 1: Observe a class and identify the lesson
objectives, learning activities, instructional materials and
assessment tools used by the teacher.

After going through the process of observation, thinking and reflection of your experience, you
surely have drawn some insights and new understanding of teaching and learning processes. Please express
your thoughts, feelings, insights or new understanding through creative visual representation here. Then
share your reflection with your FS Teacher.

After my observation in Malinta National High School, particularly to Mrs. Cerino classes. I observe
that not all the time the students are willing to participate in the discussion; they are willing to talk to their
seatmates than to listen to their teacher.
On my observation, I understand that being a teacher is not easy, many tasks and responsibilities that
you must do in time.
