PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING OF LEARNING PROGRAMS

1. To what extent are your learning outcomes achieved? How do you know?
What are the indicators?

Learning outcomes are being achieved when the learners absorbed the learning
process which is involved to your target in teaching, so that they will learn to
understand what you want to imply at the end of your discussion.

2. How do you ensure that you’re learning activities are relevant to the topic?
What factors do you consider? Do you implement these effectively? How?

I can assure that my learning activities are relevant to my topic in way of making
first criteria that must be fair to all and must be suited to my topic and I consider it
in order to test their learning style in dealing others with their own, specifically to
develop self-discipline.

3. Do your lesson plans contain all essential elements? What do you do to consider
the learner’s need and capacity, available resources and your teaching skills?

We as a human are not perfectly made that is why we sometimes commit mistake,
but by the help of our experience we made good things in our own learning. As I
make a lesson plan I always apply those things which are suited to the learning’s of
the learners, especially to know their strength and weaknesses in terms of learning.

4. What verbal and non-verbal communication skills do you apply to make your
teaching affective? What evidences will show that you are effective in what
you do?
 Only my patient and commitment on teaching is my weapon to teach properly
though sometimes I made a mistake but I do part as a temporary teacher in front
of too many people.

5. To what extent do you participate in and/ or cooperate with your cooperate

teacher in the planning and implementing of the classroom activities that contribute
to the development of your learner?

I observe first what my mentor did while she teaches and after observing I will
ask her some strategies in teaching and aside from that I always observe other
teacher.

6. How often do you make sure of available instructional materials in teaching? What
evidence would you show that these materials contribute to the attainment of your
lessons objective?

I always ask some suggestions to my mentor and look other strategies to see
some improvement in teaching.

everything.

there a need to use them in those instances?

materials for them also too see clearly the content of our topic visualize
their learning and for you to deliver your lesson properly.

interest of the learners? What evidences would show that you have been

they have the interest to listen.

materials?
By the use of Instructional Material it makes my work easier, especially

ACTUAL TEACHING

1. Describe two measures you took to make your test item clear.

Before I let them answer their quizzes or exercises, first, I always ask
them if they really understand my discussion and ask some question
which is connected to our topic and give them the proper direction in
answering the question. always make sure that the test items or the
questions that are to answer are given and are discussed during the
class.

2. Explain how you overcome two of the problems you encountered during test
preparation.

Preparing tests is not as easy as recording their scores. I realized, it

was so hard for you have to make table of specification. In making my
questions, I always consider the learning, if the question has been
discussed. The second thing is I am asking my mentor if my test items
are apparent and that are suited.

3. What did you do to cater for the testing of slow learners and of the advanced
learners?
To know their strength and to enhance their weaknesses.

TEST PREPARATION

1. What measures have you taken to measure yourself that your test items were
clear and simple?

For me is the level of capacity on how a certain child can comprehend the
topic or we may their level of learning.
.

2. What problems have you encountered? How can you respond to them?

The problem I encountered during test preparation is only one. Making

table of specification, but I overcome it with the help of my mentor.

3. Do your test items provide for a wide range of differences in ability? Describe
how this has been catered for?

I think, there are times that it doesn’t provide for a wide range of
differences in ability. Therefore, I realized that I need to improve my
skills in making test questions. But sometimes, their differences are not
only shown in evaluating their result in the test questions made but
basin in their performance; how they respond to my questions and also
their behaviour.

CHECKING, MAKING AND INTERPRETATION OF TEST RESULTS

1. What types of information about your pupils’ / students’ progresses have you
obtained? How have you recycled this?

By the result of their performance during discussion/school activities I

obtained.

2. If there were learners who did not poorly in one subject area, what did you do
to address this?

During class discussion I always call them and give those rewards or
appreciation for them to be inspired.

3. What have you learned about assessing learners?

In assessing the learners, I’ve learned that if you put difficult things in
your mind you really can’t understand the things, so it must be
important that you must do your part than complaining.

SELF-EVALUATION

1. What major problems did you encounter during your practice teaching?

The major problem that I’ve encountered during my practicum was too
waked up early and has time management but by the help of our
almighty God at last I learn on how to remove these lazy attitudes at
all.

2. What immediate actions or solutions did you make to solve these problems?
I make some actions like using alarm clock and sometimes sleep early.

3. What risk did you take during your teaching? Why? What happened?

During my final demonstration, I thought that I cannot finish my

instructional materials that is why I cried but I’m thankful because still
there are angels who help me to finish my instructional materials.

4. What questions have arisen and major issues and/or concerns have you
encountered? How did you resolve these matters?

When my students answer me with no respect and I cried in front of

them and then they cried also because they saw me crying. That is the
time that I told to myself, it is not really easy to be a teacher. But still I
believe in Gods well and to myself that I can do it and I can stand in
front of many people and I can be teacher someday.
5. Did you consult with and/ or ask advice from your cooperative teacher, TEI
practicum supervisor and other practicum mentors? What did you ask? How
did they respond?

Yes, I asked and told them my problem. Yes they give some advice
especially Ma’am Ruth Ramos I treat her as my second mother she
made me strong and practice me to be an effective teacher in the near
future.

6. What is the most important learning insight did you have about teaching that
will surely inspire you in your chosen profession?

The most important learning that inspired me to the profession that I’ve
chosen is that, love the person surround you even if they not love you
back instead of throwing bad things to other it is better to pray them
than to put doubtful thing from them and do good things without asking
any condition.
