ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the
students going to school? What are your conclusions?
 Seating, light, noise, and even color can all have an impact on learning ability.
Students who study in a positive learning environment are more motivated,
engaged, and have greater overall learning ability.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/ how
does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
 In the subject child and adolescent development and facilitating learning, we
learned that the environment is the place where teaching and learning can take
place in the most effective and productive manner. With this, we have learned
that being a teacher, we must how to create a good learning environment that
is conducive for learning.
REFLECTIONS
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why?
 It would be great for me to teach in a school like ARJES it has good facilities,
nice classroom and nice teachers.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
 The learning environment does not end inside the classroom alone. It extends
even to the walls of the school. A clean, quiet, well ventilated and well lighted,
spacious and free from harm.
3. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
 A quiet and clean classroom, a non-threatening classroom atmosphere where
students feel they are respected and accepted for who they are and what they
say or do is a conducive learning environment.
4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer to number 3?
 I’ll try to remember with all my heart the lessons I have learned in facilitating
learning subject and field study course. With these, it would help me create an
ideal learning environment.
5. Write you additional learning and insights here.
 The teacher must know how to set the atmosphere inside the classroom. A
harmful and threatening atmosphere isn’t good for the students. They will
suppress their true selves and this will only build a wall between them and the
teacher. The teacher must know how to balance being friendly and as an image
of authority inside the class.

 While I’m observing the learners, I remembered those days when I was at their
age. There’s a lot of similarities and differences I remembered. The similarities
are playing with my classmates, running inside the classrooms, fought with
classmates, etc. The difference is when I was a child when I got warned by the

Which is your favorite theory of development. How can this guide you as a future
teacher?
Clip some readings about this theory and paste them here.
My favorite theory of development

I choose Erikson’s theory because it is indeed true that personality is


determined by experiences during childhood and adulthood. Development has a
series or stages where it is determined by crisis. As a person grows up, she/he will
acquire and construct knowledge and different characteristics that fit on his/her age
depending on the stage he/she belongs.

OBSERVATION REPORT

Name of the School Observed: Area J. Elementary School


School Address: Area J. Lumbreras General Mariano Alvarez Cavite
Date of Visit: December 2, 2021

There are a total of 42 students in the class, 19 boys and 23 girls with age ranges
from 16 to 19. 80% of the class are Roman Catholic while the rest have different
Christian religion. Their height goes from 4’11 to 6’3 and about 10% are bi-racial.

During Class:

The class is very noisy and competitive, the smart students compete which answer
is the most valid and correct answer. While the others just wait until they are done.
But debating is the class’s most favorite activity.

Some of the students answer, but some don’t, but they just raise up and the teacher
help them answer. The teacher obviously calls out the students behind because she
knows that these kids are not paying attention.

The quiet students or the ones who are quiet in general do their normal students’
stuff, some listened to music, some stayed back played games on their phone, while
others watch anime and read their books.

Outside Class:

The students group themselves based on their interests, some are interested in K-
POP and Foreign Pop Culture, others are grouped because they came from the
same section/school previously and some are in the groups with same gender.

A student who’s not interacting with anyone is the transferee from other school. The
student is still waiting for someone to approach him first, and still trying to learn his
new environment.

ANALYZE
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in their relationships and
interactions 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 doubter/pessimist?
There was a joker in the class who’s always kidding and joking. He hangs around with
every classmate, asks for food because he’s lazy. There was also a top student who
also serves as the leader of the class always try to tell the class to keep quiet although
not all listen to her. There was also a student who acts as the secretary of class even
though she’s really not. The teacher always asks her to write the assignments on the
board, collect printing fees and the one who write the names of the naughty
students.
What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their
behavior?
What influences them to assume these roles are their peers, their belief that they would
be better to be this way, people’s reaction that somehow satisfy them and their
teachers’ meaningful feedback.
2. Is there anyone you observe who appear left out? Are you students who
appear “different”? Why do they appear different? Are they accepted or
rejected by the others? How is this shown?
There was no student who I’ve observe being left out or different. The students
celebrate differences and create bond with each other.
3. How does the teacher influenced the class interaction, considering
the individual differences of the students?
The teacher influences the students to be supportive of each other and to respect each
other’s’ differences by being mindful and careful of their words, and to be available for
each other as friends who are willing to help and be their emotional support. In addition,
the teacher encourages the students accept and appreciate each other’s opinion and
belief about a certain matter, as well as their interest, hobbies and preferences.
4. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity
in the classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?
The teacher makes sure that she is aware of students’ individual differences
through understanding their backgrounds, learning styles, hobbies and interest.
The teacher establishes friendly relationship with her students and encouraging
them to be open for communication while fostering respect in the classroom by letting
them to talk about their cultural backgrounds. The teacher also tries to integrate
celebration of cultural differences in every lesson in any way she can, for instance
employing activities that allow the students learn about each other’s culture such as
sharing, role playing etc.
REFLECT
1. How do you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness?
Or unity among the learners and between the teacher and the learner?
As I was observing the classroom, although the students are individually different from
each other, their unity regarding acceptance and appreciation of each other had made
me feel comfortable. How the teacher manages diversity in the classroom is a sign
that she is very effective in developing teaching strategies that promotes
awareness and creating connection with diverse cultures. Evidently, the students are
empathetic and open-minded about diverse backgrounds which helped them
understand each other well. Students demonstrating confidence and independence
in the class is also a sign that the teacher is effective in fostering cultural sensitivity in
the classroom. The way they care for each other and how openly they communicate
with their teacher and how they become united in collaboration activities made me feel
a sense of oneness in the classroom.
ANALYZE
1. Did your observation match the information given by the teacher?
Based on the teacher’s given information, the observations I had and jotted down
matched what she had given, in terms of the students’ needs, performance and how
she handles their needs and how she tries to develop activities that would suit the
needs of her students.
2. Describe the differences in ability levels of the students in the class?
What practices or strategies are done or should be done to differentiate
instruction to meet the needs of the learners?
Evidently, the class is composed of diverse students with different levels of abilities.
These abilities vary in terms of their current knowledge and skills, independence level
and etc. Some lower-ability students are struggling to understand the lesson while
others who can independently learn by themselves are considered as higher-ability
students. Having these kinds of students in the class need effective strategies to
respond to their varying needs. For example, the teacher may use a differentiated
instruction through structuring his/her lesson plan in various phases such as review
phase, inquiry phase, comprehension phase and application phase. Other
instructional strategies are peer interaction groups, collaboration activities etc.
3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’
differences in abilities. How did the students respond to the teacher? Did
the teacher use differentiated instruction? If yes, describe how.
As I have observed, the teacher uses multiple means of presenting the topic. She
utilizes various tools and materials to aid her discussion such as video, textbooks and
multimedia. She also provides different ways for students to express their learning
such as writing, art or presentation. In addition, she allows them to work with their
peers for an effective way of learning and employs performance-based activities and
authentic assessment.
REFLECT
1. Recall the time when you were in 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?
During elementary in Grade 6, I remember some of my classmates were still struggling
how to read fluently in English language. What my teacher did was, she assigned a
study buddy for each student who’s having hard time to read and let their study buddy
help them. As one of the study buddies, I helped my classmate in reading a book every
recess or lunch time. My teacher constantly monitors us, and the progress that my
classmates are making. For me, it is very effective. She helps the low achiever
students improve their weakness while letting the high achievers share their
knowledge and skills through assisting their classmates.
2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to
meet the needs of the learners?
As a future teacher, I will be needing the following dispositions and traits to respond
to my learners’ needs:
• Expectation that I will be handling a classroom with students with wider-ability levels.
• Additional time and effort to meet the needs of the learners.
• Continuous innovation and brainstorming of effective strategies and approaches in
handling students with different levels of abilities.
• Effective communication to establish good relationship with students while being a
good listener for them.
• Focus on collaboration along with the belief that this is more effective than
letting the students learn alone.
• Flexibility and Adaptability in changing and evolving environment.
• Empathetic teacher who understands what her student’s backgrounds, needs and
interest.
• Lifelong learners who continuously seeks for what is best for students.

The learner has a healthy body, and she likes to dance in Tiktok.

The learner is a shy type of girl. But she can be friendly to the people she knows
well like, her family, niece, friends, etc. She can hang out with her friends but, she
has rules and curfew to follow.
Emotional-Moral Development
The learner is not expressive in her emotions and feelings in other people but, she
is expressive when it comes to her family, niece, and friends.

The learner has a bodily-kinesthetic intelligence, and she finds difficulty in


Mathematics subjects.

The learner is a shy type and has low self-confidence in interacting with other people
and expressing herself.
nclusions
Home and school play an essential role in child development in terms of physical,
social, intellectual, and spiritual. That's why it is indeed important, that we should be
careful what we instill in the child because it will mark to them for the long run in their
life. Helping the child to explore their talents and abilities are a great factor to build
their self-confidence and excel in what they love to do.
The learner needs to expose herself to other activities and other people to boost
herself-esteem and social skills.

ANALYZE
Your findings and recommendations in the Learners Development Profile will help you
answer the questions here.
1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of parenting
experienced by the learner? Explain your answer.
The parenting style of the learner is authoritarian. Wherein, the parents are firm to their
children they can let their children go with their friends but, there is a limitation that the
learner should follow like going home before 6 pm and don't go faraway places. The
learner is respectful to the people she can interact it.
2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family
factors do you think contribute to the development and over-all adjustments of
the learner in school?
I think it is a result of parental style, as well as the family's and environment's effect.
These have a significant impact on a child's growth as well as the learner's overall
adaptations. At all costs, the parenting style aids the student in becoming disciplined
and responsible. Her family and environment encourage her to do new things that will
help her grow physically, socially, intellectually, and spiritually.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the
learner? If yes, what are these effects?
Yes, the communication between the home and school can help and guide the learner
for her betterment. Like if something wrong happens to the learner teacher can
approach the parents for a deepened understanding of the learners going through and
vice versa. So that, they easily understand the learner and they can give more
attention and give the needs she needed.
4. How can the teacher partner with the community to contribute to the
development and learning of the students? Who are the people or which
institutions can the teacher tap to seek advice regarding the development and
learning of students?
The teacher can partner with the parents, school administrators, municipal and
barangay officials, health workers, LGU, and neighborhoods that support and are
interested in the well-being of the students. They will provide what the students need
in terms of development and learning, based on their expertise. That's why, the school
community is necessary for helping students grow, develop, and attain more
comprehensive academic standards.
REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you
experience? How did it affect you?
Growing up in a complete family is being lucky. I have parents that guide and support
me in all steps of the way in which I pass through. They always remind us that we
should study hard in our academics. They were both constantly supported us in our
academics and extracurricular activities in school. However, we lack financial
sometimes still find a way to fulfill our needs to compete in a different school for
extracurricular activities that we participated in. Furthermore, my brother taught and
reminded us that we should organize our things and in our house. Every day we have
routines to do like sweeping the floor, washing dishes, and organizing our things, etc.
Because of the cycles inside our home, we learn to be responsible for the household
chores we should execute.
2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration?
How can you work well with the parent? How can you help them? How can they
help you?
As a 21st century educator, having good communication and connection to both
parents and students will produce a healthy collaboration. Teaching, guiding, and
helping their child grow physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Furthermore, guiding and monitoring the students if they have difficulties in their
academics, behavior, and emotions. Informing the parents if there is a good and bad
thing happened so that, we’re going to resolve it. These good communications and
connections will be the foundation for having a successful relationship for the students,
students, and parents in order to guide and teach the students.

1. Make an artistic, colorful, and creative visual expression of your insights or
feelings about the influence of the home and school and community to the
learner.

Home, school, and community links play an essential role in the student's learning and
life. Their growth will depend on what kind of environment they have and how they
mold their parents. Having a good environment will help the students to grow fruitfully
and holistic.
2. Make a reflection acrostic about the home, school and community link.

1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners’ behavior?
Classroom organization and routine affect the learner’s behavior positively through
making them responsible and helps manage their learning better. It also increases
their confidence, regulates their behavior and builds good relationship in the classroom.
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?
Designing a classroom organization and routine the teacher must consider the ff.
theories and principles.
 Behaviorist theory which focusing on the behaviors of the student including the
positive and negative ones.
 Humanist theory that emphasizes the human capabilities, what the students’
goals, their learning style and preferences.
 Democratic theory in which the students are given the opportunities to
participate in the decision-making regarding learning as well as the equal
chances to choose their own educational path.
 Psychoanalytic theory in which the teacher must consider individuals thoughts,
feelings, and experiences consciously or subconsciously.
 Cognitive theory should also be considered to give attention to the learner’s
mental processes and their construction of knowledge.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the
learners? In motivating students? Why were they effective?
 Organize the classroom set-up in a new learner-centered classroom space
where the students can be more independent and self-reliant.
 Utilize wide variety of learning tools, materials, approaches and strategies in
teaching to support the different types of learners.
 Create a classroom expectations or simply classroom rules that are achievable
by students.
 Reinforce teaching routines and procedures effectively.
 Acknowledge good behavior and reward them for doing well.
REFLECT
Reflect on the following and write your insights.
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade year
level do you see yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider
for this level, why?
In the near future, I see myself teaching junior high school students in my TVL class.
I will start my class with prayer, to be followed by asking if they happy and ready to
learn something new. Then of course checking of attendance, motivational activity and
actual discussion with constant posing a questions to check their comprehension.

2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would
you choose these rules?
The rules that I would most-likely to implement in this group of students are the ff:
 Be Punctual
 Be Respectful
 Follow the rules and direction
 Keep quiet, raise hand if you want permission to speak
 No foods and drinks while in class discussion
 Ask questions the students can raise queries if the concepts are not clear for
them.
3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
Students need to be involved in the making of classroom rules to help them develop
their leadership skills as well as make them understand the value of being responsible
in their own action and behavior. It also allows for collaboration between students and
teachers in agreeing on the rules that they need to establish.

ANALYZE:
1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class? Why?
Why not?
- As a Future Teacher I believe that Classroom routines facilitate teaching and learning
in a sense that it save valuable classroom time. Routines in the classroom can boost
student confidence and comfort levels because students know what is expected of
them in various situations. Routines are especially useful when working with young
learners and teens who require additional assistance in regulating their behavior.
2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented?
Explain your Answer.
- Asking question during lesson is the most systematic and consistent routines that the
teacher must do. For as the teacher to assess the knowledge of her students and to
ensure that they are listening to her discussion.
REFLECT:
1. Which of the routines will you most likely apply in your class? Why? Why not?
- For me As a Future Teacher I love to apply the asking question during lesson routine.
In order to ensure that students understand the material and remain engaged with the
task at hand, it is necessary to ask questions. So that it can reveal what that child
doesn't understand, allowing us to fill in the gaps and possibly improve understanding
for other students as well. Great questions reveal understanding and a broad
understanding of significance in ways that answers cannot.

Classroom Rules Importance

children are able to treat each other
respectfully, they respond to direction
and instruction in a positive way. In
effect, they are more likely to succeed in
academics. Distractions and behavioral
disruptions are lessened.

5. Be on time Being on time on the classroom or in the
Google meet can reduced any
interruption and distraction.
ANALYZE
1. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation of the
rule?
- As a Future Teacher I believe that they need to formulate a rules inside the campus
or in the rooms so that the learner can experience a well and organized and conducive
learning environment. Because If the students have no rules to follow, everything will
be in a chaotic situation. This could result in students physically and/or mentally
injuring one another. Furthermore, students will not learn how to behave appropriately
in society as they grow older.
2. Are classroom rules really important?
- Absolutely Yes, Like what I have said on the number one question. If there is no rules
and regulation in a classroom, everything will be in a chaotic situation.

REFLECT
Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the resource teacher. Will you
have the same rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your
answer.
- Justifications for Classroom Rules It is critical that the students follow these rules
because it will result in a more effective classroom as the students spend their time in
school. I think we have the same rules of Mr. Rejuso Rules number 1, Use appropriate
language and be respectful, this rules teach the student to become more aware on
what they have saying, second Be quiet when the teacher is talking, It helps the
teacher to lessen the distraction and help the student to become more respectful, third
mute yourself except when you have the floor, this rules help the class to avoid
unnecessary sound that might disturb in the class, Fourth raise your hand or asked
permission to speak, it help the classroom to become more organized and lastly is Be
on time on the class, this rules can lessen the interruption on the class. Creating
classroom rules and procedures assists teachers in maintaining class routines and
student expectations for classwork and behavior. Clearly defined and posted
classroom rules and procedures help students understand what is appropriate and
what is not, as well as the consequences for rule violations.
SHOW YOUR LEARNING ARTIFACTS
Take some snapshots of the classroom routine employed by the resource teacher
which are worth emulating. Tell something about the picture.

This Picture shows the Rules number 3 of the teacher, which is Mute yourself except
when you have the floor. During the discussion they kept organize their class because
of this Rules in their class.
