Andres Soriano Avenue, Mangagoy, Bislig City Date of Visit: July 09,2013 The school is located in front of
the Catholic Church. It is surrounded with houses and establishments. The neighborhood is noisy
because of the motor vehicles plying along the streets, but the outside environment of the school is
clean and not polluted. The school campus is wide and the buildings are quiet old. I can see different
colors inside the school but most of it is blue since it is the color motif of the school. Some of the
classrooms are already fixed and painted with cool colors.

5. Whenever I passed by the offices, I always have the impressions that people in the office are always
busy. It is well- equipped and well-ventilated. Personnels are approachable too. The Library is full of
books, quiet, clean and well-arranged. The halls are clean too, so with the canteen which is always full of
nutritious foods. The school provided free wifi zone so that the students and teachers can access the

7. Write your observation here. ANALYSIS Name of School: ANDRES SORIANO COLLEGES OF BISLIG
School Address: Andres Soriano Avenue, Mangagoy, Bislig City Date of Visit: July 09, 2013 It was July 09,
2013 when we started our first actual observation in accordance to our FS 1 subject. I was so excited on
that day that I came to school very early. Each one of us were assigned to a certain classroom and
observed everything that is related to the student’s learning process. Our teacher told us to fill in
everything that corresponds to our target and goal. The target is to be competent in determining a
school environment that provides social, psychological and physical environment supportive of learning.
I strolled around the campus together with my classmates and I jotted down the observation in my
notebook. I was impressed by the different offices and rooms since it is my alma mater, I could say that
the school has a lot of improvement as the years goes by. I observed everything that the school have.
The faculty room in which the teacher’s stay is neat and clean. Most of the rooms are already using
projectors and computers during their classes. We went back on another days and continued our
observation. I accomplished the school facilities matrix and was able to answer the questions which are
asked in my data.

8. 1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact on the learning of the students
going to school? What are your conclusions? I conclude that the school has a great impact in learning, in
the sense that they have a lot of students in school and that only shows how great is the impact of the
school to particular learning process. The classrooms are filled with thoughts, and learning that a
student/pupil can get. 2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development?
How does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning? In relation to my previous knowledge of
child and adolescent development, pupils learn easily if they were exposed to a friendly atmosphere,
free from distractions and noises. They could easily learn if every meeting teacher uses variety and
novelty of learning materials and motivate them always. In connection to my previous subject
facilitating learning that in doing our tasks as a teacher I should follow the methods and techniques that
are best for students to learn and see to it that it is effective. REFLECTIONS 1. Would you like to teach in
the school environment you just observed? Why? Yes, I would like to teach in the school that I have
observed in the sense that the environment of the school is good. The building is situated in a good
place which provides proper ventilation and better environment. And since this is my beloved Alma
mater, I would really love to teach here. 2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning? In my
own views and opinion, a certain school can be considered conducive to learning if it has complete
facilities such as standard size classrooms, shops and laboratories and library. The surroundings is clean,
well- maintained and free from any pollutions. 3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

9. A classroom can be considered conducive to learning if it is clean, well- ventilated and with proper
lightning. It should also have the complete facilities and equipments necessary to facilitate the teaching
learning process. Lastly, it should not be too crowded to prevent classroom management problems and
to maximize learning. 4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer to number 3? If I am blessed
by God and granted my aspirations in life that is to become a teacher someday, I’ll be resourceful and
creative when I structure my classroom. I make sure that my classroom is well- organized. 5. Write your
additional learning and insights here. This subject helps me to learn everything necessary for the
students to become future educators. The ability to observe classroom conditions will help me to
become aware about how to achieve good and effective school environment and on how to provide the
learners a classroom that is conducive to learning.

10. MY PERSONAL ILLUSTRATION OF AN EFFECTIVE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT An effective school

environment is one that provides to students the opportunity to achieve high standards that they can
use in their future. A school where student feel safe and happy; an environment that will promote those
values that will help pupils to become good and responsible citizens, enable them to become involved in
their community and become good family members. Each one of us is facing the difficulties and agonies
over studies but why we are still conscious in choosing our school to study with even in our primary,
secondary and the tertiary which is the college level. Even me, I do the same act. Simply because, we
want to achieve the quality education that we are seeking for. Quality education that someday will help
us to produce and economically free citizens. Students today are very lucky unlike of the past
generations. They do not even have their proper education nor have the well- ventilated classroom. I
tried to ask myself on how lucky I am because today, everything is equipped with modern technology.

Episode 2: Learner’s Characteristics and Need Name of FS Student: MRS. MA. NIÑA GAZELLE AMOR L.

___________________ Cooperating School: ANDRES SORIANO COLLEGES OF BISLIG Your Target: At the
end of this activity, you will gain competence in differentiating the characteristics and needs of learners
from different developmental levels. Your Map: To reach your target, do the following tasks: Field Study
12. Your TOOLS Use the activity form provided for you to document your observations. An Observation
Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics Read the following statements carefully. Then write your
observation report on the provided space. Your teacher may also recommend another observation
checklist if a more detailed observation is preferred. Physical 1. Observe their gross motor skills. How
they carry themselves. How they move, walk, run, go up the stairs, etc. 2. Are gross movements clumsy
or deliberate/smooth? 3. How about their fine motor skills? Writing, drawing, etc. Social 1. Describe how

13. Record the data you gathered about the learners’ characteristics and needs in this matrix. This will
allow you to compare the characteristics and needs of learners at different levels. The items under each
domain are by no means exhaustive. These are just sample indicators. You may add other aspects which
you may have observed. Development Domain Preschooler Indicate age range of children observed:5 to
6 yrs.old Elementary Indicate age range of children observed: 6 to11 yrs.old High School Indicate age

they are not fluent on speaking. -They are not be able to figure out things alone. -It is hard for them to
solve problems. -Can communicate with their teacher either in vernacular or English. -They can figure
out small things. -They can solve easy and some difficult problems. YOUR ANALYSIS Write the most
salient developmental characteristics of the learners you observed. Based on these characteristics, think
of implications for the teacher. Example: Level Salient Characteristics Observed Implications to the
Teaching-Learning Process Preschool Age range of Learners observed: 3-4 Preschoolers like to move
around a lot. Therefore, the teacher should remember to use music and movement activities not just in
PE but in all subject areas. Therefore, teachers should not expect preschoolers to stay seated for a long
period of time.
15. Level Salient Characteristics Observed Implications to the Teaching-Learning Process Preschool Age
range of learners observed: 5-6 yrs.old -They like to move a lot and play. -They like to draw. -They like to
sing and dance. -Like to talk about the things they like. -Therefore, teachers should not expect
preschoolers to stay seated for a long period of time. -Teachers should let the pupils to draw and assist
them. -Their teacher should find ways on how to develop their talents. He should allow them to show it
and encourage them in participating in different activities where they can show their talents. Elementary
Age range of learners observed: 7-8 yrs.old -Elementary pupils have different learning abilities such as
dancing, singing, drawing and are hungry for learning. -They are keen observers. -Therefore, the teacher
should provide different activities for them. He/she should also have different kind of approach for the
diverse learning abilities of the pupils. -Therefore, the teacher should be aware of what he is teaching
and be careful of the way he/she present things. The teacher should always master his subject matter
before conducting his class next day. High School Age range of learners observed:
16. Your Reflections 1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experiences
when you were their age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners you observed?
During the days of my observation, I immediately recall those time during my preschool years. I
remembered how enjoyable it is. My teacher taught me how to draw and color it with crayons. I loved
those times when our teacher read us some short stories. She also let me sing the alphabet song in front
of the class. I noticed some similarities or differences with the learners that I have observed. Like
connecting the sound of a letter to a picture. The difference is that, nowadays, teachers are using more
vivid pictures and it is now well printed by the computer. 2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for
positive or negative reasons. How did she/he help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional,
social, cognitive)? How did it affect you? Mrs. Aurora Diez is one of the few teachers I cannot forget. She
is a very kind-hearted person. She teaches very well in the class. She was actually my favorite teacher
.She helped me gain self-confidence. And helped me a lot with my emotional and social development.
She gave me some advices whenever I needed it, most especially on how to improve my self-esteem.
She have reminded me the importance of having a goal in life. She used to acknowledge my effort every
time I earned or achieved something. When it comes to my physical and cognitive development, she was
the one who helped me improving my skills and talent. I was always part of a dialogue or any drama
contest in school, a member of a dance troupe and a very active SBO senator during my high-school
years. Thanks to my teachers who believed on my capabilities as a student and for giving me so much
confidence. 3. Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this guide you as a future
teacher? Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is my favorite theory. It can help me guide in the
future as a teacher. Because this theory explains that an individual has its own level of learning
according to their age. So with this theory you will be guided and
17. understand that each level has its own level of understanding and development when it comes to
their physical and cognitive aspects. This theory also explains the development of a child as early as
conception until they will become mature, and each level has different level of development in terms of
their physical and cognitive aspects. 4. Share your other insights here. After carefully observing and
really paying attention to all of the pupils in preschool, the differences in their abilities becomes very
noticeable. I was able to pinpoint the level of performances of the target students to be observed. Some
were active participants and some were shy and too quiet. One of the active and smart pupil that I have
observed was a boy named Amador Masancay. As a fast learner, he is very confident and never fails to
raise his hand every time the teacher asks a question. He can read the alphabet very well, and good in
writing too. A 5 year old boy and I think he is the top on their class. Next was a 6 year old boy named
Abe Christopher Fabria. Always neat but a very naughty boy. He loves moving around and all the time he
likes talking to hi seatmate. He can read alphabets too, but sometimes with the assistance of his
teacher. He can answer the question of the teacher even if it is wrong. And for that I considered him as
an average learner. Lastly, I have this boy who got my attention. His name is Ace Espinido from Requina
Village. A 6 years old boy and a silent type of pupil. He seems to have his own world because he is aloof
to his classmates. He doesn’t participate in the class and is not listening to the teacher most of the time.
He can’t read and write well too. He cannot follow teacher’s instruction easily. But then, with the
attention that the teacher has provided for him, I think he will improve himself.

managing time, space and resources to provide an environment which is appropriate to the learners and
conducive to learning. Your Map To reach your target, do the following tasks: Field Study Episode 3:
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND LEARNING Observe a class. Using a checklist, find out the evident
classroom components. Describe how the classroom is structured/ designed to allow everyone to
participate in the learning activities. Relate the data in your checklist to the learners’ behavior. Reflect
on how classroom management affects learning.
19. Your TOOLS Use the activity form provided for you to document your observation. An Observation
Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics Read the following statements carefully. Then write your
observation report on the provided space. 1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of
the learners. Note their ages. 2. How many boys are there? How many girls? 3. Focus on their behavior.
Are they already able to manage their own behavior? 4. Can the learners already work independently?
5. Describe their span of attention. 6. Look into their listening skills and ability to concentrate. An
Observation Guide for the CLASSROOM VISIT Name School: Andres Soriano Avenue, Mangagoy, Bislig
City of the school Observed: Andres Soriano Colleges of Bislig Location of the Date of Visit: July 09, 2013
As I have observed, the age of the learners do not vary talking about their behavior and characteristics
for the reason that I witnessed there are some pupils who are very cooperative in the class and there
are some who do not involved themselves in class discussion. In the classroom that I have observed,
specifically the kindergarten, there are 14 pupils and most of them are boys only 3 are girls. There are
only few students or pupils who can manage their own behavior by behaving well in the class, while
most of them like to wait for teacher to remind them to stop doing things which could destruct the class.
Since they are very young, only few can work independently. Most of them need help of the teacher.
The span of attention is very short, since they always want to catch the attention of a teacher, or even to
their classmates. Most of the pupils pay attention to their teacher; they lend their senses everytime the
teacher is conducting a lesson. Though some of them are not, but then, they are still confident to
answer the teacher whenever she calls their attention.
20. An Observation Guide for the CLASSROOM VISIT Be guided by these questions as you do your
observation of the classroom management. It is also good to ask the teacher for additional information
so you can verify your observation. Write your notes below; and then organize your data in the table
that follows. 1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids, books,
students’ belongings, supplies, etc.) 2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room. 3. Did the
students participate in making the classroom rules? 4. What are the daily routines done by the teacher?
(prayer, attendance, assignment of monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done? 5. Is there a
seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? 6. Observe the noise level in the
classroom. How is this managed? 7. If a learner is not following instructions or is off-task, what does the
teacher do? (behavior strategies). 8. What does the teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors?
(behavior strategies) Observation Notes: Yes, there are areas in the classroom for specific purposes like
a cabinet for teaching aids, a table for student belongings and a book shelves for books. Yes, there are
rules posted in the wall, rules in making the classroom clean all the time. The pupils are behaving in the
manner they should. The teacher starts the class with a warm-up activities. By letting the pupils greet
good morning to everyone, and after that they will pray then sing an action song. The seating
arrangement is arranged by groups. The class is noisy but manageable by the teacher. Whenever the
learner is not following instructions, the teacher will repeat the instruction and reconstruct it to make it
more understandable. The teacher reinforced the learner for showing positive behavior by saying “ Ok,
very good answer.”
21. Classroom Management Matrix Aspect of Classroom Management Description Effect on the Learners
Specific Areas of the Classroom In front of the class is the teacher’s table. The left corner of the room is
where the cleaning materials are and on the opposite side is where other teaching materials are kept.
Desks have a section for student belongings. helps the learners gain easy access to teaching materials;
provides freedom to move easily within the class; maximizes the students’ interaction with their teacher
and classmates; gives a sense of familiarity; Classroom Rules The classroom policy is posted in the wall.
This will help the pupils to be reminded when they do a certain kind of mistake. Classroom Procedures
The teacher prefers to start the class with a simple song and activities as energizers By this, the pupils
would not feel sluggish and tired in starting the class. Daily Routines Prayers are done first as a daily
routines, followed by checking of attendance and then proceed to the lesson to be discussed. A good
start for the learners because they will be trained and helps to improve themselves from the daily
routines. Seating Arrangement Their seating arrangement is arranged by tables and each tables
composed of 4 chairs and 4 pupils. It is easy for the pupils to move around and it is quite organized for
the teacher. Handling Misbehaviors/off- task behavior The teacher gives disciplinary action according to
the mistake done by the teacher. The students will behave as a response according to their teachers
disciplinary action. Reinforcement of Positive Behavior The learner gives compliment and honor to the
learner for showing positive behavior in the class Because of this, the student will strive hard in order to
be admire by his/her teacher and classmates. Others
22. YOUR ANALYSIS 1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners’ behavior?
The classroom organization and routines affects the behavior of the learners in improving their senses
by way of cooperating to the teachers rules or classroom rules and by being attentive in every activities
or class discussion. The physical environment of the classroom is one way to improve the learning
environment and to prevent problem behaviors before they occur. 2. What should the teacher have in
mind when she/he designs the classroom organization and routines? What theories and principles
should you have in mind? The teacher should have in mind time management, furniture and teaching
materials, and most importantly the students. I’ve learned that a place must have favorable learning
conditions, smooth transitions during class, and excellent management skills. If a teacher fails to manage
his/her class then he/she fails to get the students involved during class. This is where the Principles in
Classroom Management come in. As I’ve said before, a superb classroom organization helps the learners
and teacher to gain effortless contact to teaching materials, provides freedom to move easily within the
class and make the most of the students’ interaction with their teacher and classmates. I’ve done a bit of
research and I’ve seen the effects of the theories of behaviorism on students when it comes to routine
designing. This is applicable with the combination of the Law of Exercise from Thorndike’s
Connectionism Theory, Pavlov’s Higher-Order Conditioning, and B.F. Skinner’s S-R theory. When routines
are designed to be a habit in class then the Law of Exercise should be practiced combined with Pavlov’s
Higher Order Conditioning, where the teacher can use different kinds of neutral stimulus to become the
conditioned stimulus for the students. Added the positive reinforcement, such as feedback or verbal
praises, from the findings of Skinner then the routine the teacher designs will be a very effective one.
23. 3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the students? In motivating
them? Why were they effective? In the class I observed, the teacher used positive reinforcement in
conditioning the class for their new lesson and expected a test in the next period. When it comes to
their daily routine, the class already turned it into a habit. The teacher made use of positive
reinforcement in forms of verbal praises and encouragement to the pupils to do better next time. She
also showed them honestly that she is proud of what they have accomplished. I think that the teacher’s
strategies are very effective because the pupils are all actively participating and focused in class. If a
teacher is doing well in letting the student engage in learning then it means she was successful in
motivating them. Pupils want to be acknowledged for their hard work because this boosts their
confidence in being consistent in getting high grades or being encouraged to get better grades. It was
effective because of the fact that pupils/students want to be accepted and treated fairly, receive their
deserved appreciation from their teacher and the right amount of concern from them. Your Reflections
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what year/grade level do you see
yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider at this level? Why? I can see myself in the
future as a teacher in grade one. I will make my classroom very presentable and cool in the eyes of my
pupils in order to provide them a good environment and a knowledgeable one. I will make sure that they
will learn a lot from me. As my future daily routine, I will start in with prayers, then a quick energizer like
a children song and followed by activities like drawing. And also, I will make a classroom that should
present a cheerful, inviting, motivating and purposeful setting for learning. 2. List the rules you are likely
to implement in this level? Why would you choose these rules? My rules for this grade level are
obedience and cooperation. I will also implement orderliness and cleanliness inside and outside the
classroom. I choose this rule because at
24. their age, I have to be patient enough to teach them and instill in their mind the good attitude and
an organized personality or behavior. And lastly I will give grade incentives to those students who have
perfect attendance in the whole school year. This is to motivate the students to come to class every day.
3. Should learners be involved in making these rules? Why? Yes, for me learners should be involved in
making the class rules for them to be aware of what the rules are. They must always be reminded of
those rules so that they will avoid to make mistakes that is against the rules.
25. Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom. Step 4. Interview
your resource teacher about the principles and practices that she uses in dealing with diversity in the
classroom. Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on the learners’ interaction. Name of FS

COLLEGES OF BISLIG Your Target At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in determining
teaching approaches and techniques considering the individual differences of the learners. Your Map
The learners’ individual differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect the quality of
teaching and learning. This episode is about observing and gathering data to find out how student
diversity affects learning. To reach your target, do the following tasks: Field Study Episode 4: INDIVIDUAL
DIFFERENCES AND LEARNER’S INTERACTION (focusing on differences in gender,racial,religious
background) Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (beginning of the day, class time,
recess, etc.) Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and social and
cultural diversity.
26. Your TOOLS Use the activity form provided for you to document your observations. An Observation
Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics Read the following statements carefully before you begin to
observe. Then write your observation report on the space provided on the next page. 1. Find out the
number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial Groups, religious and ethnic
backgrounds. During class: 1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the
students Interact with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups that inter- act more with the
teacher than the others. 2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do
they behave and interact differently? 3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners
cooperate with or compete against each other? 4. Which students participate actively? Which students
ask for most help? 5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the
classmates try to help him? Or do they raise their hands so that the teacher will call them instead?
Outside class: 1. How do the students group themselves outside class?Homogenously, by age? By
gender? By racial or ethnic groups? Or are the students in mixed social groupings? If so, describe the
groupings. 2. Describe how the learners interact with each other. What do they talk about?
27. Name of the School Observed: ANDRES SORIANO COLLEGES OF BISLIG School Address: Andres
Soriano Avenue, Mangagoy, Bislig City Date of Visit: July 09,2013 As I am observing the class, I observed
that there are like 14 pupils in the class. Their ages vary from 5 to 6 years old. Most of these pupils are
Roman Catholic in religion; there are few who are Born Again Christian. During class: The interactions
between each other including the teacher are present. The pupils interact with their classmates when
they have activities, by sharing their ideas regarding the activities they had. They also interact with each
other when they have their own business aside from the lesson discussion with the teacher. The
interaction of the pupils to their teacher is when they have something to ask or for clarification from the
teacher during discussion of the lesson, to make the discussion alive. There are group of pupils who
interact more to the teacher, I think this group of pupils are those who are really participating in the
discussion compare to the other pupils. Yes, the pupils who are seating in front and at the back they
interact differently, those who are seating in front are the pupils who are more participative compare to
those who are at the back, maybe because, the teacher’s attention are more focus to those who are in
front. The learners usually compete with each other. However, there was also an instance that they
cooperate with one another. The pupils who are seated in front are those group of pupils who
participate actively. While those who are seating at the back but want to participate in the discussion
they are the pupils who ask most help. There is an instance that the teacher asked one pupil to answer a
question, then the pupil were not able to answer the question, then the pupil seating beside him tries to
help him answering the question, and then somebody from the other side, raise her hand to answer the
question. Outside class: As I have observed them outside the classroom, they group themselves I think
based on their locality at home. I mean based on how far is their home in each other. Or maybe they
already have this group of friends. But I also observe a member of pupils they are group because they
are classmates and they have common interest like toys. They interact each other by bullying somebody,
mostly boys are playing and roaming around, while girls are sitting with their friends and chatting.

30. Name of the School Observed: ANDRES SORIANO COLLEGES OF BISLIG School Address: Andres
Soriano Avenue, Mangagoy, Bislig City Date of Visit: July 09,2013 As I have observed the kindergarten, I
noticed their differnces in abilities. There are pupils who were smart or the high achievers in their class
and there are also slow learners or the low achievers in the class. I have noticed or recognized a group of
pupils whom I prefer to be the smart one. They compose of 3 boys and 1 girl. They are the one who
always raised their hands every time the teacher asked a question. And they can answer it correctly
most of the time. They perform very well in the class. On the other side, there are also group of students
who were low achievers. They are mostly confident in raising their hands even though their answers
were wrong. Luckily, those high achievers always tried to help them with the correct answer. As I asked
the teacher about the background of these students, I learned that those high achievers pupils came
from a well earned family while the low learners or achievers their family, most of them are less-
fortunate and their parents are not fully supportive in terms of giving attention. The high achieving
learners usually are the one who finish first during the class activities. They have good interactions with
their teachers. They can answer the question easily. While the low learners they always doubted their
answers for they are afraid of getting wrong. The teacher knows on how to encourage the student on
how to answer the given questions that needs further clarification. OBSERVATION REPORT
31. YOUR ANALYSIS 1. Did your observation match the information given by the teacher? Were you able
to correctly identify who among the students performed well and who did not? What behavior helped
you identify them? (volunteering to answer, responding to teacher’s directions, etc.) Yes, my
observation matched with the information given by the teacher, and yes I was able to correctly identify
the learner who is performing well and the students who are less performing. Volunteering to answer
and always responding to the teacher is the behaviors that help me identify them. 2. Describe the
differences in ability levels of the students in the class. Is there a wide gap between the students who
are performing well and those that are not. Yes, there is a wide gap between the students who are
performing well and those who are not. Those who perform well in class has the ability to easily
understand the lesson during the discussion, but those who are low performing pupils they cannot
relate much during the discussion. Students who are not performing well will gain a low average in their
grades. 3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in abilities.
How did the students respond to the teacher? In handling the student’s differences in abilities, the
teacher that I have observed treat them in different ways. She usually give instant attention to those
pupils who are smart and after that she will call the attention of those slow learner students, and talk to
them in a nice way that a child could easily understand. Teacher is very flexible in handling her pupils.
Pupils who were slow learners will listen attentively to what the teacher will say and could easily get the
teacher’s point.
32. Your Reflections: 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? When I was in Grade 2, my teachers used rows as a label. Row 1 pupils are the fast
learners; row 2 pupils are the average learners, row 3 pupils are the slow learners. We were usually
grouped by how well our reading skills are. The teacher gives the fast learners one paragraph to read
while the slow learners where given 2 or 3 sentences to read. My teachers in Elementary were very
strict and I remember corporal punishment was still practiced back then. I do not remember clearly the
other styles that my teachers used to deal with the differences. Back in my high school days, each
section was grouped homogeneously based on the result of our entrance test. So I didn’t see a big gap
among us in our section. Most of our teachers used discussion, lecture, reporting and role playing
procedures. All of us took the same activities together. Maybe one of the main characteristics of
meeting every type of learner’s needs is the fact that the learners do not notice that they are differently
treated by their teacher because everyone wants to be treated fairly. Yes, I could say that our teacher is
effective because he can make us more attentive during classes and cooperative in times of discussion.
He always knows how to understand us and he has his own way of showing it. 2. With the principle of
individual differences in mind, what methods and strategies will you remember in the future to ensure
that you will be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in your class? As a future
educator, I must get to know my students well. I can determine the correct method to use depending on
the characteristics and abilities of my students.
33. I will make sure to organize a teaching procedure that can adapt to all learning styles and make use
of activities that will fit the needs of my students. I will also take a good idea and make it great for
effective teaching. Aside from that I will make the activities they engage in inconspicuously fit their level
of ability without being obvious that they are the weak ones in class so they won’t lose their confidence
and enthusiasm during class activities. I also plan to utilize different types of motivational techniques
because this is one of the main parts of my procedures in teaching. If I am successful in motivating my
students then I am successful in letting them engage in learning.

portion of this learning episode can help you. Recommendations Write your recommendations.
40. Physical Development The child is physically normal. Her mother was healthy during her pregnancy.
She learned to walk at the age of 1 year. She is active and alert not only in their home, but also in the
school. She moves deliberately smooth and shows care and accuracy in her every tasks or chores to
accomplish. Social Development The learner is friendly, extrovert and outgoing. She is allowed to play
outside their house with her cousins and neighbors. At the age of 5 she was allowed to play outside, but
was told to tell everything that happened to her while she is outside. Emotional-Moral development The
learner is well-disciplined. She is responsible in her studies. She was brought up with the right values by
her loving and responsible parents. Cognitive Development When it comes to her cognitive aspect, it is
continuously developing as she comes to school and study. She performs well in the school. She learns
fast and participates actively during class activities. She shows intellectual activeness when it comes to
reasoning and thinking skills. Her parent’s concern and values towards education helps her a lot in her
cognitive development. Findings Jaireh is intelligent and responsible at her young age. Her training at
home is carried to school as displayed by her good performance and positive attitudes towards learning.
Being a firm yet loving parents to her, it helps a lot in developing the child’s personality. They have a
great ability to show self- control. Most importantly, the God-fearing beliefs and respect that her
parents demonstrate towards her also develops her good social interaction to other and to her
nurturing environment.
41. Conclusion I therefore conclude that the school and home contribute a great impact in developing
the cognitive, affective, psychomotor and other domains of human development, and so as to the total
personality of the learners. Hence, the learning of the child begins at home. At home the child learns
values, works and her cognition slowly developed. However, school plays a vital role in molding the
child. Since school is made for the purpose of developing physical, social, emotional, moral,
psychological, spiritual and cognitive aspects of the learner. The child spends more time in school rather
than at home. So, the total development of a child depends in school as well as the teachers, which are
the most important agents in school that impart knowledge and values to the learners.
Recommendation I do recommend that each teacher must be more diligent, resourceful and patient in
handling the learners. He/she must use varied strategies in order to catch the interest and attention of
the students to focus on the lesson. For the parents, they must be responsible in guiding and disciplining
their children, they must be open with them. They should monitor the studies of their children and give
them encouragement to focus and study hard to achieve their ambition to become successful. The most
important is the role of the learners; they may be always compliant and dutiful. They must ensure to
themselves that they are motivated to learn and participate since they are responsible of their own
learning.
42. Your Analysis Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile will help you
answer the question here. 1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of
parenting experienced by the learner? Explain you answer. The parents of Jaireh Renn are not so strict
at all time. I found out that they only have few rules when it comes to studying, one rule was to “Study
first before going to bed.” Both parents are involved in their child’s school life. Mrs. Sabelino claimed
that she sometimes scolded Jaireh when she breaks the rule, but most of the time she will just talk to
Jaireh regarding her mistakes. I agree in the kind of parenting that they applied to their kids. Being strict
and lenient is helpful in raising a child nowadays. 2. Relating your data with what you learned from child
development, what family factors do you think contribute to the development and over-all adjustment
of the learner in school? As what I have learned in Child and Adolescent Development, the factors that I
am going to contribute to the development and over-all adjustments of the learner in school are: first, it
contributes how the learners are nurtured by his parents, their financial setting, and cultural background
of the family unit. 3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner?
If yes, what are these effects? Yes, I do believe that communication between the home-school have an
effect t consider the home-school link. What he did in school reflects how he is nurtured reared by the
parents at home. One of these effects for instance, if the learner act and possessed misconduct in the
classroom, surely her parents are expected to visit the school and consult for the performance of his
child to his adviser or teacher.
43. Your Reflections 1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did your
experience? How did it affect you? When I was a child until this present, I observed that the style of
parenting I have is Authoritative, wherein my parents are loving despite of being firm. They treat us with
respect and warmth. They always remind us about the consequences of our behavior. They give us clear
and reasonable expectations. And I am so blessed for having a parents like them, because they molded
me into a better person. I inherited the attitude of my mother which is being understanding and loving. I
could still manage any circumstances that come into my life for I always had patience in making or doing
things. 2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How can you
work well with parents? How can you help them? How can they help you? As a future teacher, I could
establish good home-school collaboration by observing the behavior of the learner in my class. I would
be responsible enough on their attitude for instance, if ever there is a trouble behind that creates a
conflict, problems in my students immediately I will call the parents of the learners and I will also inform
the parents about the performance of their child in my class. Through this parent-teacher
communication, I can say there is a good relationship between home-school links.
