My Reflection:

Based on the gathered data from the respondent, he is familiar with the current

educational system because he is a government employee of DepEd, Division of Laoag City.

Hence, to his idea of the system, the curriculum should really focus on the students need for

leaning.

And with this, not only those who are expertise in this field are familiar with it but also

those who did not go through this field, however, have a good perception of it.

My Insights:

all these information, on my observation, the teacher knows how to handle her class well. If it

needs adjustment, then the teacher can get to it.
