Observations:

Student-to-Student Interaction Patterns:

Student to student interaction are the simplest interaction, they have their
own way of thinking and usually students are noisy when they interact inside or
outside the classroom. Sometimes they talk nonsense topics to make them laugh.
Student to student interactions are the interactions takes long period of time when
they see each other.

Student-to-Teacher Interaction Patterns:

Student to teacher interactions can be observed during and after the
discussions or after giving quizzes for clarifications etc. The grade 10 students
interact with their teacher in a polite manner. They raised their hands in response
to every questions asked by the teacher. They also express their thoughts and
opinions about the topic during the discussion. Student to teacher interactions are
vital because it is helpful to retain the knowledge or information given by the
teachers to their students. It makes learning more meaningful and interesting too.
Teacher-to-Student Interaction Patterns:
Teacher considered as the second parent to their students; Ms. Lanoso
teach their students by heart with an intense desire for their students to learn. She
just doesn’t impart knowledge but also shape the learner’s attitude. Her primary
concerned are the needs of the students. She is a very friendly and approachable
teacher to her students. And she treated everyone with respect.

Student-to-Non-Teaching Personnel Interaction Patterns:

Student to non-teaching interactions are happened to the other person in
our learning environment, these are the janitors, canteen personnel, security
guard and vendors found in school. Most of the students inside the school
campus were very respectful to non-teaching personnel. They greeted when they
meet them and gives some excuse when needed.

Teacher-to-Teacher Interaction Patterns:

Teacher to teacher interactions are the professional type of interactions
because of their profession. We observed a friendly interactions of a
teacher to their fellow teachers with lots of smiles on their faces. This
interaction can be seen during break time or where the teachers regularly
gathered. They respect and help each other, share ideas and information to
one another, and they have a harmonious relationship with one another.
Enriching Activities
Create a scenario where any of the above interactions occur in the school. Make a
script of their dialogue, bearing in mind that this partnership is built on
developing a climate of respect, harmony and cooperation.

Our Analysis
Why is a classroom a miniature of a greater society?
Inside the classroom there are different individuals in terms of
characters, interest and dreams or goals in life. A classroom is a miniature of a
greater society because it is where the basic and formal learning and the proper
acquisition of knowledge takes place. As a miniature of a greater society, a
classroom comprises a lot of factors that influenced the student’s life. Teachers
were there and considered as the second parent of the students. In the classroom
setting, we can see a portrait of a good society too because it depicts a scenario
where rules and regulations were being obeyed. Aside from nurturing knowledge,
potentials and natural skills of the learners were being developed. Teachers
imparted good values and attitudes to the students so that they will become good
and functional citizens in the society. The Classroom is a part of the society that
engages in promoting learnings and preparing the learners for more and broader
task. So that the students become more responsible and productive in the society.

What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can
be observed in society?
We can find different personalities inside the classroom so as in a
society. There are different kinds of personalities exist and interact with each
other, helping one another to achieve their goals. However, there are students
were working hard and diligent in their studies while others play hard and are
not interested at all. Some did both and some neither do anything. We also
observed the different economic status in life inside the classroom in which
some students belong to a high class level, some in the middle and there are
students belongs to the lower class level too. Like a society, there are rules and
regulations were implemented in the classroom by the teachers to be followed
by the students too. Lastly, we observed the different interactions inside the
classroom which are visible in the society as well.
