The document outlines 9 principles of learning and provides examples of how a teacher demonstrated each principle in their classroom. The principles include learning occurring through experience, discovery of personal meaning, collaboration, being an evolutionary process, sometimes involving pain, and being unique to each individual. The teacher ensured students took an active role in learning, engaged in relevant and experiential activities, collaborated in groups, and were given opportunities to share ideas and learn at their own pace and in ways that suited their abilities and styles. This adherence to the principles helped create an effective teaching-learning environment where students could attain knowledge and skills in a smooth and meaningful way.

1. Principles of Learning
Teacher Behavior of the Teacher/Learning
Behavior of the Learner as a Proof of the
Application of the Principles of Learning
1. Learning is an experience which
occurs inside the learner and is
activated by the learner.
1. Teacher lets the learners do the learning
activity. e.g. – Pupils writes letter A instead
of Teacher writing for them.
2. Learning is the discovery of the
personal meaning and relevance
of ideas.
2. Relevant and need-based curriculum
was integrated in the discussion through
that way it had aroused the interest and
attention of the students. The essentiality of
the topic was being perceived by the
students by explaining the values being
incorporated in the lesson. e.g. –The
students realized that the values being
integrated in the lesson is that they should
give importance even to the tiniest thing
like atoms for it has value and without it
nothing will be formed.
3. Learning is a consequence of
experience.
3. Assimilating different activities made the
discussion experiential. The teacher
integrated pictures for the students to
have their own knowledge and
assessment in the particular topic elements
and compounds. e.g. – The students
visualize the forms of different elements
and compounds in a molecular level by
looking at the pictures provided by the
teacher.
4. Learning is a cooperative and
collaborative process.
4. The teacher provides group activities for
the students. The teacher created an
avenue in which students are able to learn
by having the chance to share their own
ideas and work together with groups. e.g.
– The students in each group have their
chance to share their knowledge, insights
and skills to their classmates in order to
accomplish the different task given to
them.

2. 5. Learning is an evolutionary process.
5. Learning, especially if this means a
change in behavior, does not happen in
an instant. The teacher required the
students to recite a certain speech and
perform it with appropriate intonations,
gestures and with a proper posture,
Teachers delivered the lesson in different
ways and she gave patience and
diligence in dealing with the levels of
learners’ abilities and skills. e.g.– Students
were bound to present a speech but then
not all of them performed well but there
was a promising sign that the students are
really learning
6. Learning is sometimes a painful
process.
6. For the students to be able to learn, the
teacher devotedly gave her time to
prepare the materials needed even the
preparation was the day before the
delivery of lesson. The teacher gave
activities which made the students felt that
to be able to learn, hard works should be
experienced first. e.g.– Students really
faced difficulty in answering the problems
given by the teacher some students
defended their answers but later the
students realized that their answers are
wrong and was somehow disappointed
with their selves.
7. One of the richest resources for the
learning is the learner himself.
7. The teacher let the discussion centered
with the students’ ideas and experiences
rather than her thought only. The students
were given chances to share their learning
through the proper used of art of
questioning. e.g. – the teachers asked the
students about their insight about the topic
and somehow generalized the lesson by
answering the provided questions.
8. The process of learning is emotional
as well as intellectual.
8. Emotional stability of the learners was
first observed by the teacher. The teacher
shared an anecdote and later asked
students what they learned from it and
what events that had occurred in their life
they can relate to the anecdote. e.g. –
Students were able to share events in their
life that are significant and they also

3. shared what lifelong learning they had
acquired through that event.
9. The process of problem solving and
learning is highly unique and
individual.
9. Multiple intelligences were being
considered by the teacher. Vicarious
activities and materials are being provided
and utilized to cope with learning styles of
different individual. e.g. – The teacher
provided group activities such as
completing the puzzle, drawing the cycle
and sequencing the processes of the
cycle. She also used both traditional and
modern instructional materials needed to
discuss the lesson.
MY ANALYSIS

4. 1. What is the impact of the Resource Teacher’s observance of these principles on
the teaching – learning process and on the learners?
The teacher adheres to the principles of learning and it makes the
presentation of lesson be purposeful in thoughts as well as in action. The
knowledge and skills needed by the students to attain was almost been learned
by how the teacher adopted the principles. The teaching itself was so smooth
and the learners found very minimal hardship in acquiring learning. An active
classroom environment was being created making it conducive to learning and
the learners realize the lessons importance in their lives. By adhering to the
Principles of Learning the teacher was effortlessly enriching the cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor domains of the learners.
2. Which learning principle was applied most?
As I observed, the learning principle applied the most is the process of
problem solving and learning is highly unique and individual. As I stated in my
previous explanation, vicarious activities were being utilized by the teacher to
have an effective teaching and learning process. The teacher integrated
Multiple Intelligence activities to cater the various needs of the students and to
solve the problems in their preferred learning style.
3. Which learning principle was applied least or not all applied?
The learning principle that is least applied is the “Learning is sometimes a
painful process”, because the teacher doesn’t discourage a certain student if
he/she answered wrong, thus she still appreciate it and say “at least you try” but
not all times, so the child doesn’t really get hurt. After it, the teacher then
corrects the wrong answer of the student.
4. Do you agree with these principles of learning? Or have you discovered that
they are not always correct?
Yes, I agree on those principles of learning because as I’ve observed different
teachers at different grade levels of students, applications of the principles were
always been functional.
MY REFLECTIONS

5. My reflections on my observation of my Resource Teacher’s observance of these
principles. Did my Resource Teachers adhere to these principles?
The teacher adherence of learning principles was so effective. Somehow,
even in a short period of time, the principles were being integrated efficiently.
Based on my judgment on the teacher’s way of delivering the lesson, principles
of learning used directed the class into actual and real learning. Considering the
nature of the students, the teacher then created a well-balanced classroom
environment and made the students motivated and interested in the discussion.
Aside from that, the assessment of the presentation of lesson was good and
awesome.
The teacher applied the learning principles in the presentation of lesson;
the teacher had given the students chances to feel their essence in learning
process. She developed the learners’ ability to determine the significance of their
thoughts and meanings. For she was able to let it happen, teacher provided
experiential experiences through conducting group tasks, completing the puzzle
of the illustration .The students were given the opportunity to share their thoughts
to their classmates. The strengths and weaknesses of every individual were
considered through accepting their own individual differences and multiple
intelligences.
5. Lessons I have learned from my observations on the classroom application of the
principles of learning.
For the students, to be able to learn, teacher must first consider their
individual differences and multiple intelligences. Of course, they should have
their direct-purposeful experiences and reflect on their physiological,
psychological and emotional needs. Their interest should always be considered
and teachers should enrich their knowledge by creating an avenue to the
learners to learn by themselves and let them use their learnings to variety of
situations.
MY PORTFOLIO

6. Principles of Learning in My Own Words
1. Learning should be the product of learning experience and it should be
thoroughly practiced by the students.
2. Learning is reflecting, understanding and applying the essence of ideas and
meanings in their lives.
3. Learning should be experiential as much as possible.
4. Learning is socializing and sharing ideas with others.
5. Learning is a step-by-step process which requires time and diligence.
6. Learning is attained when the learner sacrifices and overcome hardship to be
successful.
7. Learning is also constituted by the learner himself
8. Learners’ physiological, psychological and emotional stability should be
measured in acquiring learning.
9. Individual differences, different learning styles and, multiple intelligences should
be considered in integrating the method and materials needed in the
presentation of lesson.
