The document describes observations from a field study visit where the student observed two teachers' lessons. For the English lesson, the teacher used various active learning strategies like having students read a selection and dramatize situations to apply what they learned. For the math lesson, the teacher used deductive instruction as well as having students formulate their own examples, and connected lessons to real-life situations. In reflection, the student notes there is no single best teaching method and that teachers should use diverse strategies to cater to different student needs, learning styles, and intelligences.

Bayson Course : BSED- English Year and Section: II Resource Teachers : Mrs. Levi Pacalioga Signature: ______________ Mr. Arlie Duco Signature: ______________ Cooperating School : JH Cerilles State College Date of Visit : January 20, 2014 FS #2- Episode 4 : Teaching Strategies and Methods OBSERVATION SHEET Guiding Principles in the Selection and Use of Strategies Teaching Behavior of the Resource Teacher that Applies the Principle 1. Learning is an active process. The teacher lets the students read the selection and threw various questions afterwards. She lets the students dramatize a situation showing good deeds and bravery because it is related to the subject matter. 2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning. The teacher only catered the sense of sight, since the activity only involves reading the selection. But I think the students learned a lot and have internalized the topic since she lets the students do dramatization in which it altered the point of view of the students about having supernatural power. 3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning. The teacher dealt the students by starting the lesson with a smile and soft and calm voice. If certain couldn’t answer the question, she has thrown, she would likely change the mood of questioning into an easy one or else she would let someone answer it without discriminating the other student. The teacher also respects any answers and is willing to accept questions and doubts coming from the students. 4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning. Emotion is well-catered since the lesson is about literature. The teacher sees to it that they could really feel the emotion of the main character because she’s certain that the students could really relate on it and eventually could retain all their learning in the future.
- 2. 5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information. The teacher integrates the importance of realizing what has learned. She emphasized that it is not how well they memorized and recall information but its how they can apply it in their daily lives. 6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life. The students dramatized the given situations by the teacher. The situations are usually being observed in students’ everyday life. Like helping an old woman crossing a highway, returning a lost and found bag with money in it to the owner or in the police station, and practicing proper waste management. 7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information. There are teachable moments occurred in the class discussion. The teacher integrates lessons which are essential to the betterment of her students. She does not focus only to one and isolated bits of information.
- 3. OBSERVATION SHEET Guiding Principles in the Selection and Use of Strategies Teaching Behavior of the Resource Teacher that Applies the Principle 1. Learning is an active process. The teacher used deductive method yet there are instances that he lets the students formulate their own if-then statements and answer Math problems related to functional. 2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning. The sense of sight was the only sense catered since it is Math subject. It is not necessary to involve all the senses. 3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning. The teacher always wear smile all throughout the discussion. He accepts errors and questions. He has a long patient making the atmosphere a non- threatening. 4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning. The teacher made his discussion an enjoyable one that promotes fun while learning. I can see that learners had really retained learning. 5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information. The teacher asked various questions in which the students could really answer his questions no matter what he asked. This proves that he teaches well. 6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life. The teacher asked the students situations that usually happen in reality following the if-then statements. 7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information. There are teachable moments occurred in the class discussion. The teacher integrates lessons which are essential to the betterment of her students.
- 4. Name of FS Student : Ian Jim A. Bayson Course : BSED- English Year and Section: II Cooperating School : JH Cerilles State College Date of Visit : January 20, 2014 My Analysis For me, the principles are in accordance with the brain-based teaching and learning. The diverse students are well-entertained or well-catered since various methods are used and employed in obtaining the specific aims of the teacher to the learners. Learners are totally engaged and can develop their learning needs. Cognitive, Psychomotor and the Affective domains are really developed. Learners’ learning now cannot be snatched by others since they have internalized the learned lessons.
- 5. Name of FS Student : Ian Jim A. Bayson Course : BSED- English Year and Section: II Cooperating School : JH Cerilles State College Date of Visit : January 20, 2014 My Reflections There is no best method of teaching. I believe that those individuals who have formulated the methods and strategies also believe that there is no such best method in teaching. Teachers used varied methods in order to cater all the needs of the learners. Possibly, one method could only just cater about 4-5 multiple intelligences therefore there is a need for the teachers to use and employ varied techniques to their diversified students. Experienced teachers usually use deductive method for group of students who are slightly mentally challenged. Sometimes, inductive method is employed by teachers to those groups of learners who are mentally inclined. No best method since there is no best individual who could think of a method that would genuinely fit and cater all the needs, interest, and learning styles of the learners. Therefore, teachers must employ various methods to make sure the learners are well-catered. Furthermore, each method has disadvantages which possibly could deteriorate learners’ intellect.
