INTRODUCTION

“To be teacher, in the right sense is to be a learner. Instruction begins when
you, the teacher, learn from the learners”, one of the very nice saying and insights
we’ve learned from our FS instructress. And this quotation means, that as a future
teacher, we must practice to put ourselves in their places so that we may understand what
they understand and the way the students understand it.

Last February 4,5, and 6 (Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday), we had our
observation in Sta. Maria High School (SMHS), as our cooperating school, with all the
sophomores taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd), as a part of the
requirements in our subject Field Study (FS) 2.The classes of II-Prudence and III-
Generosity was both assigned to us.

Our main concerns on that observation are all about:

a) Principles of Learning
b) Lesson Objectives as My Guiding Star
c) Organizing Content for Meaningful Learning

Within our report, we identified the significance of the study of the various
learning principles which can truly helps on how will you deal and interact with
student’s diversity. It includes also the essence and impact of objectives in
implementing the teaching process and the different factors to be considered in
selecting meaningful and useful learning materials or contents, as manifested in the
actual classroom setting. We observed and reflected on the different approaches
employed by the teachers in dealing with the learners in the different stages of
development. And also, we analyzed how the teaching and learning process should be
conducted.

And now it’s your turn to be a part of our report, as a reader and also as a judge.
We hope that after you read and understand the essence of our work, you will acquire,
you will gain and learn something. Thank you!

3. Learning is a consequence of  This no. 3 principle has something

is an experience which occurs inside
the learner and is activated by the

observation because Mrs. Dizon let
the learners to apply what they
have learned. Like for example,
they conducted an activity which
involve describing, through that
experience they’ve learned
something.

Our Analysis
Based on our observation, learning is the discovery of the personal
meaning and relevance of ideas was the principle applied most. This is
because before a teacher conducts another lesson he/she first makes a
recall about their past lessons. And then, after that he/she didn’t directly
give or explain what seems to be their topic on a particular day. Instead
he/she might give either activity or a short poem which involves in a given
topic. In that way, the learners found out that the learning is the
discovery of personal meaning and relevance of ideas.

Our Reflection
The lesson we have learned from our observation on the classroom
application of the principles of learning is that for a teacher to be
effective, one first thing to do is to get the learners attention in order to
have a better interaction between the learner and the teacher. Other
than that, make the students feel that learning is a must most especially
on the part of the learners. Always motivate them to learn and pursue
their studies and never easily give-up until they reach whatever their
goals in life.

Guiding Principles in Determining and Teaching Behavior/s which Prove/s
Formulating Learning Objectives Observance of the Guiding Principle

1. Begin with the end of mind.  Based on our observation, Ms. Jillian
Gonzales, a third year English
teacher ensures that her lesson
objectives are SMART. Based in our
interview with her, she shared her
technique in planning objectives.
She said that excellent lesson
objectives must be Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Result
Oriented and Time-Bound.


2. Share lesson objective with  For this second guiding principle in
students. determining and formulating
learning objectives, I noticed that
Ms. Gonzales imparts her lesson
objectives including plans and
purpose of lesson for her students.

3. Lesson objectives must be in the 2  Based on the totality of the lesson
or 3 domains – cognitive, skill and discussed, the lesson is holistic and
affective or cognitive and affective complete because it dwells on

lesson for that day of Ms. Gonzales
was about a poem entitled “when I
was one and twenty”, throughout
the lesson, they showed their skills
in reading, as they read each stanza
of the poem with correct
pronunciation considering their
accents and pausing. After reading
literary piece. Questions are
followed to check the student’s
comprehension and understanding
about the poem and lastly, with the
concern in the affective domain,
there is also a question that tested
their reasoning skills in which
afterwards they interpret the true
meaning and essence of the poem
that leads for the development to
their values.

4. Work on significant and relevant  Ms. Gonzales present a poem

twenty”. She asked her students on
what they understand in the title
and to the stanzas of the poem. And
there is a line that comes from the
poem where in Ms. Gonzales asked
her students on what is their point
of view about it. Some students
raised their hands and gave their
own thoughts, ideas, and comments
and after that, she raised again a
question and she asked her students

if they already fall in love. Some of
them were too ashamed to answer.

5. Lesson objectives must lead to the  Based on what I observed, Mrs.

asked her students to observe their
school campus and list down the
words that may described about it.

1. After observing your Resource Teacher teaches, write down what you think
was/were her lesson objective.

To appreciate the meaning of a poem.

2. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for you to copy her lesson objective
for the day’s lesson. Copy it here then compare it with your answer in # 2. Are
they same? Different?

“To deduce and appreciate the meaning of a poem”
Yes ! They are the same.

Our Analysis
1. Why did you find it easy/difficult to write down the Resource Teacher’s lesson
objeve for the day? Did she mention it in the beginning of his/her lesson?

We found it easy to write the objective of our Resource
Teacher’s lesson for the day. Because she mentioned it at the
beginning of her lesson and this lesson objective when shared and
possessed by our students will become their personal target. When
our students set their own personal target, we are certain that they
will become self- motivated.

2. Did you find the lesson objective SMART? Why or why not?

Yes, the objectives of the teacher are excellently SMART (Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Result-oriented, and Time-bounded).
Because it is quite easy to find out the end of a lesson of you
attained your objectives. And there is a big chance to match our
instruction and assessment.

Our Reflection
1. Any lessons learned or insights gained from your observation focused on
lesson objectives? Write them down here. Are lesson objectives truly the
guiding star in the development of a lesson? Or are lesson objectives
sometimes forgotten as the lesson develops?

Learning objectives are of key importance when creating
lesson plans. They provide students with information about what
they are going to be learning while giving them an indication of how
their learning will be measured. There are a few rules to writing
excellent learning objectives that should be followed.
Unfortunately, many teachers do not spend the time to create
effective, measurable lesson objectives before they write their
lesson plans. We know that once you started making the objectives
specific and measurable you will found that you were able to use
them like a blueprint to keep you on task as you teach your lessons
in class.

Organizing content for

OBSERVATION SHEET


School Address: Sta. Maria, Macabebe, Pampanga Date: February 6, 2013_____________


A.) FOR THE COGNITIVE LESSON
1. What is the lesson about?

Class I: Adjectives
Class II: Poem “When I was one and twenty”

2. What are the examples of facts mentioned in the lesson?

Class I: There were picture presented and the students are asked to describe
this picture.
Class II: The students were asked on how they handle the advices of their
guardian or other elder people.


3. Did the lesson end with facts? Or did these facts lead to understanding of
concepts? Prove your answers.

Class I: In the First lesson the students have learned the use of adjective.

Class II: The students understand the importance of listening to their parents’
advice.

4. Write down instances of treating the topic in depth (giving examples, examining
cause – effect relationships, relating ideas or concepts to one another)

Class I: The teacher presented pictures where in, in describing these pictures
they gained their examples of adjectives.

Class II: The students were asked about the advices they were given by their
parents and on how they act upon this advices.

5. Cite an instance/s when students were encouraged to ask questions, to talk
about and reflect on what they learned.

Class I: The students were curious about the uses and significance of adjectives
that’s why they raise a lot of questions.

Class II: The students were aware of the fact that parents have greater
experience that’s why there were only few questions raised.

B.) FOR THE SKILL LESSON
1. What was the skill lesson about? Which skill/s was/were target? Manipulative
skill or thinking skill?

The lesson more focused on the thinking skills of the student where
in they can think fluent, they can construct ideas relevant to the certain
topic and they can response easily because of their own insights and own
experiences by reminiscing their past.
Ex. Love… places…


2. Write evidence of teacher’s encouragement of divergent thinking by the
students.
So, when we say divergent thinking, it includes fluent thinking,
flexible thinking, original thinking and collaborative thinking.

The teacher encouragement of divergent thinking by the students is
that they can think fluent related to that particular lesson. The English
lesson that we’ve observed was all about the poem “When I was one and
twenty” where in the teacher relate her students to explain it because it’s
all about love, we all know that students nowadays are teenagers who
are very aware when the topic all about is LOVE. So, the teacher let them
to relate their experiences to this poem. They construct ideas through
their experiences.

3. Which are proofs that the Resource Teacher promoted convergent thinking?
When we say convergent thinking, it is narrowing down from many
possible thoughts to end up on a single best thought or an answer to a
problem.

The other English lesson we’ve observed was promoting adjectives.
The teacher motivation was she presented a picture of different tourist
spots or different beautiful places in the Philippines. The teacher let the
students to recognize these pictures. So, students were willing to answer
and answer. Say for instance, “The Luneta Park.” A student answered “It
placed in Manila.” The other student answered “Where Jose Rizal Died”
by answering possible thoughts; the teacher can modify a thing or
describe particular things using adjectives.

4. If there was problem solving in the lesson, were the pupils taught to solve the
problem using algorithm or heuristic strategy?

Yes! Just by letting the students to reminisce their past so that they
can construct a lesson by their experiences.


5. What are the proofs that the students were encouraged to do critical thinking?
When we say critical thinking, it involves evaluating information or
arguments in terms of their accuracy and worth. Students use their
critical thinking ability through their activities not only in the common
interaction in the class but also analyzing their observation. Isn’t they had
an observation outside? So, discover approach takes place by the teacher
without guiding them; the teacher let the students to find adjectives or
modifier through observing outside and describing the surroundings.
After that, their observation leads them to group competition where in
the group who construct more sentences will won the activity.

C.) Value/ Affective Lesson

1. What was the value lesson about?

The values lesson was all about “Following and Obeying Instructions and
Advices of Elders.”

2. Was the value taught alone or was it integrated with a cognitive or skill lesson?

The value was taught integrated with a cognitive and skill lesson.

3. How was the value lesson developed?

The value lesson developed in this way: first, the teacher tested the
reading skills of the students by reading the said poem considering correct
pronunciation of words and correct accents and stresses. Next, they analyzed
the facts and concepts within the literary work from the cognitive follow-up
questions. And lastly, there are also questions that tested their affective
domains, including giving their insights about the poem and the moral lesson
which can be deduces from the poem.


Our Analysis

A. For the Cognitive Lesson
The teacher delivered the lesson which is adjectives in way where
students will relate their experiences in giving examples. For example in giving
their example they were asked to describe the beautiful places they have
already visited.

B. For the Skill Lesson
In the lesson the thinking skill is what the teacher gave focus it is taught
by giving examples by describing pictures. While in the manipulative skill the
students were ask to list all of the things that they have observed in their
school in the blackboard.

C. For the Affective Lesson
The value lesson is taught or delivered without giving emphasis on it for
example in the second class big where they have discussed about the poem the
value lesson is not given attention or is not a big deal the poem “When I was
One and Twenty” is the one that has been mostly given attention. That is why
the value lesson is delivered within the skill and cognitive lessons.

Our Reflection
Someone said: “There are dull teachers, dull textbooks, dull films, but no
dull subjects”. Do you agree? Write you’re your reflections here.

I agree with this statement because the subjects which we are taking are
all interesting the only thing that is making it dull is the way they are delivered
to us. The dullness of subjects are because of teachers who don’t know how to
deliver their lessons in an interesting way. Dull films also are the reason why
some subjects become uninteresting. So in sum I can say that there are no dull
subjects in fact it is the way that these subjects are delivered that will show or
become that reason whether the subject is delivered interestingly or
uninteresting.
