3. My observation report here:
Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte
Date of visit: JULY 26, 2011
The school that I observed was Burauen North Central School in which the
classrooms, offices, and buildings are conducive for student learning. It develops
students’ social interactions. Conducive physical learning Environment is safe, clean,
and orderly. The school is found in place where the students can make their projects
like computer shops. The classrooms are appropriate to the number of students.
My impression on the offices was good. The school has different offices but one
that I like among the offices is the office of the Principal of this school because it was
very beautiful. I want in this school environment because the facilities, the classrooms
and the offices are conducive for the student learning. The school should be located at
the town. Beautification and cleanliness were undertaken of this school by tree planting
and proper waste disposal. As a future teacher, I will care the classroom
Your analysis
1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact on the learning of the
students going to school? What is your conclusion?
 Conductive classroom atmosphere contributes to the learning of the students.
Such classrooms have proper ventilation, well-lighted and free from noise. If the
school campus is conducive as well as the classroom, the attention of
the students will become focused on the lesson. They will learn easily and
comfortable. Physical condition of the classroom is not only to be considered as
conducive. Teacher strategies are also factor to be considered. If the
teacher uses novelty of instructional materials the pupils will become
attentive to listen and learn. If there is a mastery of subject matter the lesson
will have a sense of direction that leads to better learning of acquired
knowledge, skills and values.
2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/ how does
it 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 task as a teacher I should follow the methods and techniques that are
best for students to learn. If there will design my own methods and techniques for
better earning and see to it that it is effective.

4. Your reflections
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why?
 Yes, I like to teach in the school environment I have observed because
the students are motivated to learn although they are not exposed to new
technologies in teaching-learning process. They are intrinsically and
extrinsically motivated to study. Rain or shine they come to school.
Physical environment is also the factor I like, the place is peaceful, safe with
proper ventilation and free from distractions. Also, the school in my town.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
 If the school campus is very clean, well ventilated and lighted and if it is free from
the destruction like noise, pollution etc.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
The kinds of classroom that are conducive to learning are the following:
- A high performance school seeks and provides adequate space and opportunities
for students and teachers to spread out, reflect, interact, exchange information,
examine and test ideas.
- The appearance of the school is inviting. Students, teachers, and the local
community want it to be there.
- The school has adequate natural lighting that enhances productivity.
-The school strives for student-friendly conditions throughout the building.
- The school is inviting to good teachers and supports their retention.
- The school is clean and sanitary.
- The risk of an adverse health effect is very small
-The school is designed to reduce stress. It is comfortable, has a consistent temperature, and
manage noise.

Learner’s Characteristics and Needs
My observation report here:
Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen ,Leyte
Date of visit: AUG 02, 2011
The students that I was observed in this episode are the grade VI pupils. In terms
of physical domain, the students were move clumsy and smooth. Students are good in
writing and drawing. In terms of social domain, they have good interactions with their
teacher. They help each other to answer their exercises. They are concern to each
other. In terms of emotional, they are serious every time they have a class lesson. And
in terms of Cognitive domain, they comprehend easily by the help of their teacher.
I recall my own experiences when I was at this age, my teacher in math helps
me a lot to widen my knowledge. The students that I was observed are similar to our
batch when we are at this age because they are also disciplined by their teacher. My
favorite theory of development is Erickson’s Psychosocial because in this theory I
learned a lot like knowing who I really am; I know how to discipline myself. I learned
that life should be always positive. It helps me and guides me as a future teacher to
know the development of the students. I should be develop my students grow.

8. Your Reflections
1. While you were observing the learners, did recall your own experiences
when you were their age? What similarities or differences do you have
with the learners you observed?
 When I was observing the learners, I recall my own experiences when I was at
their age. Before, in my elementary years, I was so naughty yet very participative
in the class discussion. I lead some naughty friend of mine too.
Sometimes, we don’t enter classes. But during exams, I always got the higher
score than with my friends. I never study but still I learn in the discussion
because I listen and I was so behave before when the class is going on. And
this would be the difference of me from these pupils that I observed.
These grades III and IV that I observed, some of them cannot read well even at
their level of year in school
2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons.
How did she/he help or not help you with your need (physical,
emotional, social, and cognitive)? How did it affect you?
 During my elementary grades, there is one teacher that I idolized and I always
remember. She was Mrs Flor C. Pantin. She is quite strict but is a very good
teacher. She is a kind hearted and caring teacher. She shows a great concern
towards us. She developed us not only in cognitive domain but also in emotional domain.
This would be the kind of teacher I would like to be in the future.
3. Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this
guide you as a future teacher?
 My favorite theory of development is different children h
a v e d i f f e r e n t characteristics that lead to diverse needs. This could help me
as a teacher to become flexible in preparing varied learning strategies to
meet the needs of every pupil. This could also guide me to remember
always that every learner have multiple-intelligences so I will integrate it to my
lesson.

9. EPISODE 3 Classroom Management and Learning
My observation report here:
Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte
Date of visit: AUGUST 23, 2011
As I observed in the class, the characteristics of the learners were very active.
They are well-concentrated with their lesson. The classroom organization and routine
affect the learners’ behavior by following the rules and procedures of the classroom.
The teacher have in mind when she designs the classroom organizations and routines
should be the students become knowledgeable and skilled, organized a comfortable
and pleasant physical environment for ease in mobility and flow of learning activities.
The behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners are
following the routines, sensitive to positive and negative interactions in order to
maintain discipline and order.
The routines and procedures that I consider for this level to discipline them and
to maintain the cleanliness of the classroom are daily attendance, prayers, keeping
tables and chairs in order before leaving, cleaning blackboard to be ready for next topic
and cleaning stains or drops after the lesson.

10. Your analysis
1. How did the classroom organization and routines effect the learners
behavior?
 The classroom organization and routines serves as their guide inside the
classroom. The classroom organization will serve as a guide to organize the flow
of the classroom system. Routines will also develop their personality like the
spiritual aspect in prayer, physical aspect in exercise, 3 mental aspects in the
form of recitation and others.
2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classrooms
organization and routines? What theories should you have in mind?
 The teacher must be knowledgeable I the different multiple intelligences so that
the teacher knows the strength 3 weaknesses of the student. For example, some
are able to kinesthetic so the teacher must have a classroom routine that
develops the kinesthetic ability of the student or if the student is good in the
written ability, make quizzes, 3 essay writing a routine inside the classroom. If the
student is good in spatial ability, assigned them in classroom designs 3
organization and the same things like what are mentioned.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the
learners? In motivating students? Why were they effective?
 In managing the behavior of the students, the teacher should be knowledgeable
in psychological aspects of guiding behavior. The students are very happy
whenever they hear positive feedback from the teacher. The teacher must give
positive feedback to the learners. In handling misbehaviors, the teacher should
always communicate with that student to monitor his behavior.

11. EPISODE 4 Individual differences and Learners Interaction
My observation report here:
Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School address: Sta Ana. Burauen, Leyte
Date of visit: September 06, 2011
The students that I was observed are the groups that interact more with their
teacher than others. They behaved and interacted differently. All in the groups
participated actively. There are some students ask for most help. When the students
are called by their teacher, and cannot answer the teachers’ question, their classmates
try to help each other.
I am proud with their teacher because of her ability to make them disciplined. I
feel a sense of oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher and
learners because they are all cooperate. As a future teacher, I want the learners
interact in a good way. I will encourage all learners to interact and participate with my
class by calling their attention and making them as one.
Your reflection
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade
level do you see yourself? What routines would you consider for this level?
Why?
 As I imagine myself organizing my own classroom in the future, I would like to
teach in a grade IV or V or in the sixth level of the grade level
b e c a u s e i t i s m o r e appropriate for me and I’m capable of this level. It
is not so hard for me to discipline t h e s e p u p i l s a n d t e a c h
them. Such routines and procedures I will consider are
conducting prayers, action songs, checking of attendance, checking of
assignment, review of previous lesson, and open a new lesson. Such
routines also are exposing learners to music, hands-on activities, drill and etc
2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would
you choose these rules?
My rules to be implemented:
a. Late should not be accepted in the class. Instead, they will stay in the library
 This rule is to prevent tardiness inside the classroom procedures. So that later
on, they will not be late anymore.

12. b. They should always wear proper uniform.
 This is for the students to be well-groomed every time they enter the classroom. This
tends to increase their self-esteem and feeling of freshness. Through this, their
personality will also be determined.
c. Silence must be maintained every time and everywhere.
 They should always remain in silence to make the discussion comprehensive and will
not cause any disturbances to the other classroom nearby.
3. Should learners be involved in making in class rules? Why?
 The learners should be involved in planning and in making of the classroom procedure
so that they will be able to make adjustments and adapt to changes. Furthermore,
they will be able to express their thoughts and feelings regarding the planned
procedures. For an instance, if the students follow the seating arrangement
alphabetically, in which the shortest among the group is also the one whose seat is on
the last chair, if this is the case, it is unfair to the one who is the shortest in the class. To
solve this, the seating arrangement should be in an increasing height
manner. Thus, an agreement between the educator and the learners is significant to
have a competent class.
Your reflection
1. How did you feel being in what classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness
or unity among the learners and between the teacher and the learners?
 Being in the classroom I feel honored and glad for I am a part of a
family because learners become closed to me as well as the teacher.
2. In the future, how would you want learners in your classroom to interact?
How will you make this happen?
 In the future I would like the learners to interact in my classroom actively. I want
them to participate so that their cognitive, affective and psychomotor
skills will be developed. I will encourage them to cooperate in any
activities so that they will learn better and socialize with others as well as being
aware of the learning materials used.

13. 3. How will you encourage all learners, regardless of religious, ethnic or racial
background, to interact and participate?
 As future educator, I will encourage the learners to take part and participate in all
the school activities in and out of the classroom regardless of their varied
religious, ethnic and racial background. They should be treated equally. Nobody
should be discriminated and treated as inferiors and don’t ever call dull,
fool, damn or any bad words that may hurt the feelings of the learners.
As a teacher, one should always be patient and one should commit
himself to his profession because teaching is not just a profession but
it is a vocation. The teacher should give the very best he can give for his
pupils, a service without expecting any rewards from them. It is a service where
in the only reward is the successfulness of the learners you have taught. I should
also tell them not to discriminate their classmates especially those that
came from minority groups. Besides, they should treat them equally and give
them importance. I should also encourage them to love one another and to foster
friendship among them. They should respect one another to avoid discrimination and
most of all to avoid trouble between them
Your analysis
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in he relationships in the
classrooms. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to
be the leader? A mascot/joker, an attention seeker, a little teacher, a
double/pessimist?
 All Grade IV pupils play key role in the relations and
interactions in the classroom. There appears to be the leader, mascot/joker and a
little teacher.
2. Are students coming from the minority group accepted or rejected by the
others? How is this shown?
 Students coming from the minority group are accepted by others who belong to
elite family by welcoming and showing them as a friend as well as brothers and sisters
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering
differences of the students?
 The teacher influences the class interaction considering the
I n d i v i d u a l differences of the students by giving equal treatment to all the
pupils and encourage those pupils who are shy to interact and participate during the
discussion.
4. What factors influence the grouping of leaner’s outside the classroom?
 Factors influencing the grouping of learners outside the classroom are
the gender and their age.

14. EPISODE 5 Individual Differences and Learners Interaction
My observation report here:
Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte
Date of visit: September 13, 2011
The students who performed well in the class that I was observed are those who
are present in the class. Some of the students come from average family and above
average family in terms of socio- economic status.
The methods and strategies that I will remember in the future to ensure that I will
be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in my class are
encourage learners to share their personal history and experiences, communicate high
expectations to students from all sub-groups, adopt to the students’ diverse
backgrounds and learning styles by allowing them personal choice and decision
making opportunities concerning what they will learn and how they will learn it.
Your analysis
1. Did your observation match information given by the teacher? Were you
able to correctly identify who among the students performed well and
who did not? What helped you identify them? (Volunteering to answer,
responding to teachers directions, etc.)
 My observations match the given information given by the teacher
when the teacher told us the socio-economic status of the students and their
way of living which is one of the factors that that affect the learning of the
students. I was able to correctly identify also who among the students
performed well and who did not because of the way they behave and interact in the
class discussion. My observation was proven in their test results, the way they
present their ideas and respond to the teacher’s direction. Those active
learners aggressively participated in the discussion and raise their hand while
the slow learners are quietly seating at the back and looks at you with an empty
mind. Those that are eager to learn approached the teacher to ask if there’s
something that bothers them.
2. Describe the difference in ability levels of the students in the class. Is
there a wide gap between the students who are performing well and
those are not?
 Definitely, yes. There is a wide gap between the students who are performing
well and those that do not. This is because those students that are performing
well are really a keen observer and really behave well and participated in the class while the
slow learners do the opposite

15. 3. Describe the methods used by the teachers in handling the students
differences in abilities/ how did the students respond to the teacher?
 Teacher used collaborate approach in handling the students

speaking ability and self-confidence. The students respond the teacher by
participating in the activity
Your reflection
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?
 As I recall the time were I was in the elementary grades, there were really high
and low achievers in our class before. Some of my classmates
respond easily while others do not. There were slow learners. From my
grades 1-6, I have been with these learners. I knew them since we’re in
one class. Some of us are very naughty and in fact, I a m o n e o f t h e m . T h e
teacher handles us through discussions, review, and oral
participation. Sometimes, the teacher conducts groupings/ group activity .I found my
teacher before as an effective one because I was able to learn in the way she
teaches us. In detail, we always excel in math challenge competition with the
different school and always got the first place. However, they may not be that
effective for the slow learners or those that have lesser interest in their studies.
2. With the principle of individual differences in mind, what methods and
strategies will you remember in the future to ensure that will be able to
meet the needs of both the high and low achievers in your class?
 In a classroom setting, no learner is the same with the others. Every individual
is unique and has different ways to learn. It is advisable for
t h e t e a c h e r t o h a v e collaborative approach in order for the students to
learn with each other and they may come up with the best solution/ answer to a
particular problem given. Having a group work is the best way for them to share
ideas. Brain storming may lead to an idea which the teacher doesn’t expect that
his/her students may come up with that idea.

16. EPISODE 6 HOME-SCHOOL LINK
My observation report here:
Name of the school observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte
Date of visit: September 20, 2011
The student that I was interviewed in this episode was a grade V-sped, 10years
old, male, and has three siblings. The style of parenting experienced by the learner that
I was interviewed was authoritative, because his parent achieves a good blend. The
student is socially competent, self reliant and has greater ability to show self-control.
He has higher self-esteem and better adjusted.
The type of parenting that I was experienced is Permissive. My parents are not
firm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be warm and caring but appear to
be uninvolved and uninterested. It affects me to study hard for them to give me care
and importance. As a future teacher, I will make a meeting for the parents every
grading period of the school year. I will discuss the attitudes of their daughter/son and
telling the purpose of the meeting. I will help them by guiding their children and by
understanding and talking with them. They will help me by doing what the right thing to
do with their children.

17. Physical Development:
The child grows healthy. He can work independently without the assistance of others.
However, in terms of heavy works he can’t do it without the assistance of others
Social Development:
The learner is friendly and sociable. He interact his teacher, classmates and friends
outside the school. He learns to communicate with other respectfully. He knows how
to socialize other people in a good way
Emotional-Moral Development:
Since his mother is not home, he learns to live without her presence. He is
behaving in school and home. He knows how to respect others.
Cognitive Development:
His cognitive aspect continuously developed as he comes to school and study. He is
not the same as the other learner. He learns fast and participates actively during class
activities.
Findings:
Conclusion:
I conclude that the school and home contribute a great impact in developing the
cognitive, affective, psychomotor and so as to the total personality of the pupils.
Hence the learning of the child begins at home. At home the child learns values, works
and his cognitive 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 and cognitive aspect of the learner. As the child goes to study from pre-school
until college he spends much time in school rather than at home. So, the total
development of the child depends in school as well as the teacher which is the most
important person in school that bears knowledge and values to share with the learner
Recommendations:
I recommend that teacher must be diligent, resourceful and patience in handling the
learners. He/she must use varied strategies in order to catch the interest and attention
of the pupils to focus on the lesson. He/she must bear in mind the knowledge that the
learners get rather than the salary receive. For the parents, they are responsible in
guiding and disciplining their children. They must be open with their children. They
should ask them about their study and give encouragement to focus and study hard so
as to become successful in their life. The most important is the role of the learner, they
must be motivated to learn and participate since they are responsible of their own
learning.
Your analysis

18. 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 your answer.
 From my home visit and interview, parents used authoritative parenting style. If one of their
children commits mistakes they make children understand consequence of
their behavior. Have clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children
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?
 In relation to what I have learned from child development ,
s u c h f a m i l y f a c t o r s contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the
learner in school are parent factors if how they act in front of their children, how they
impose discipline among the members of the family and how they guide and
nurture their children. Broken family is also factor because child grows without a
father or mother who is responsible in taking care of him/her. He feels isolated
from others who have complete family. With this, he will develop a sense of
discrimination in the society. He could find difficulty in doing adjustments
at school.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on
the learner? If, yes what are these effects?
 Yes, the communications between the home-school has an effect on the learner.
Such effects are, parents become aware of the performance of his/her child.
With this, they could guide their child in performing better at school. Teachers
also, become aware of the learners behavior by asking the background of the chil
Your reflection
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did
you experience? How did it affect you?
 Authorization parenting style is used by my parents. They are very firm with us
and expect unwavering and unquestioning obedience. There are rules set by
them to be followed and our misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection,
physical punishment or threat.

19. 2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school
collaboration? How can you work well with the parents? How can you help
them? How can they help you?
 As a future teacher, I could establish good home-school collaboration
by conducting meeting once a month among the parents regarding the performance of
their child. I will make counseling to them together with their child. By
this, I will be able to inform them about the progress and failure of their child.

EXPERINCING THE TEACHING-LEARNING PROCESS
Looking Through the Meaningful Learning
EPISODE 1
Experiences
My observation report here:
Name of the School observed: BURAUEN NORTH CENTRAL SCHOOL
School Address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte
Course: BTHELE II
What principles in teaching-learning were commonly applied?
-The principles in teaching-learning were commonly applied were learning is an
active process begin with the end in mind, learning is meaningful when it is connected
to student’s everyday life and good teaching goes beyond recall of information. These
were the principles that the teachers applied in her teaching learning process.
What instructional materials were used in teaching?
- Such instructional materials were used in teaching are charts, pictures flashcards
books and visual aids.
Which of the principles in teaching facilitate the cognitive, Meta cognitive and
positive motivational process of learning?
-Aim at the development of critical and creative thinking is the principles that facilitate
the cognitive, Meta cognitive and positive motivational process of learning. Hence, this
principle includes questions of high-level, divergent and open-ended questions. This
serve as catalyst in the development of higher-order thinking skills or creative thinking
skills for this reason, the whole brain must be used for balanced learning not just the
left or critical thinking but also the right for creative thinking. This principle also, allows
you to think aloud and Meta cognate in order to create logical and creative ideas in
such problems.

21. Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience:
The teacher is responsible in aiming at the development of critical and creative thinking among
the learners. He must not only ask questions begin with what, who, where and when hence these are
low-level questions. If the teacher wants to develop the thinking skills of the learners he must exercise
questions of how and why in such a way their critical and creative thinking will be developed. The
teacher must employ teaching strategies and techniques that serve as a catalyst in the development
of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Open-ended questions must be included since learners are
allowed to think aloud and meta cognate their ideas in order to arrive into better ideas.

22. EPISODE 2 Learners’ Characteristics and Needs
My Journal
Name of the School observed: BNCS
School Address: Sta. Ana St. Burauen, Leyte
Grade level: V-Sped subject area:
Description of Teaching Strategies:
Classroom strategies using visual processing and mnemonic strategies
aroused by the teacher. Teacher used visual aids in her discussion as
powerful aids in retention as well as in understanding. She used visual aids for more
understanding and learning that pupils will acquire. She also used mnemonic strategies
that assist students in recalling important information. Since learners need to be taught
again to remember important information that is useful in everyday life
Description of Learning Activities:
Learning activities done by the teacher and students were successful. The learners
were able or participate and cooperate with each other. The actively participated even
though their answers were wrong.
The said learning activities gave impact to the personality of the pupils as well as their
cognitive and psychomotor skills. It helps them to think ideas by answering questions
given by the teacher during the activities. Their personality developed hence

Description of Learners Participation (proportion of learners who participated
and quality of participation):
Most of the pupils participate; only few of them are not. So, there was a high
percentage of participation. There is a good quality of participation since majority of the
class participate during activities. They learn to participate w/c is a sign of developing
communication skills and improving self-confidence.
Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience:
In relation to one of the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
strategies that learning is an active process. The teacher should actively engage the
learners in learning activities if he/she wants them to learn what he/she intend to teach.
For nobody can learn for us in the same way that nobody can eat for us, nor live for us,
nor die for us. So, teacher should give students opportunities to participate in
classroom activities. He/she have to give varied activities to the students for “hands-on-
minds-on” learning. Hence the most effective approaches according to the researchers
are learning by doing and learning by teaching others.
