Lesson 4 Tools of the trade
- 1. Field Study 3 - Technology in the Learning Environment Lesson 4 - Tools of the Trade ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reference: Field Study 3 Technology in the Learning Environment by Maria Rita D. Lucas, Ph.D. Activities and forms partially modified to best suit the pre-service teachers. My Reflection & Insights My chosen topic was all about Circles: Chords, Arcs and Central Angles. Discussing this topic, all materials should be ready first. The needed material are: Books, Projector, and Laptop or Cellphone, Blackboard/ Chalk, Board Compass and Protractor, Cartolina or Colored paper (to be cut out by students), and Scissor. Books will serve as reference of the students and teacher also in learning and teaching process about the given topic. Hence, they have different personality and learning styles. The Blackboard/Chalk, Projector and Laptop or Cellphone will take charge on visual material to catch the interests of the students especially to those visual-spatial learners. While Cartolina or colored paper and scissor, its uses for the application of what they have learned. Both group and individual learners had given an activity. The teacher must utilize a variety of teaching strategies, activities, and assignments to accommodate the needs of students with diverse learning styles, abilities, backgrounds, and experiences. The topic I have chosen was based on the K-12 Curriculum Guide in Mathematics. The topic selected was about Circles: Chords, Arcs and Central Angles. This topic was already taught from Elementary (Basic) to College (Comprehensive) especially where I am studying now. At present I am much confident to present or discussed it in my future learners. To enhance the delivery of this lesson I have to create a slide presentation that shows three dimensional (3D) objects to visualize all of its properties and function. Aside from this all learners shall make a cut out paper and assemble it according to the given activities. And also the students have an opportunity to show their technological skill or likewise I can teach them too. Having Technological Knowledge (TK) the teacher can easily discuss the lessons thru the help of computers (Projector, Laptop or Cellphone, and a slide presentation); using technology in a teaching-learning process you can save time, reduce frustration, access information efficiently, feel more confident and comfortable. It can also help students increase their understanding of complex concepts or encourage collaboration among peers. By Pedagogical Knowledge (PK), I can teach the lesson effectively because of the strategies or methods that will help to get the attention of the students and to help the student to understand the lesson easily. Lastly, having a mastery of the subject or selected topics the teaching-learning experience will be efficiently. You have a comprehensive skills and ability to tackle the subjects. In short, you have so called the Content Knowledge (CK). The combination of these three knowledge you will get the best results or should I say it will have an effective teaching.
