OBSERVE

Observe and use the observation sheet provided for you to document your observations.

1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note their ages.
While the teacher is discussing the subject, some kids are making noise, but
the majority of the pupils are paying attention. They’re between the ages of
fourteen and fifteen.

2. How many boys are there? How many girls?

There are 28 boys and 20 girls

3. Focus on their behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
Most of the pupils can handle their behavior but some of them are unable to
control their noise

4. Can the learners already work independently?

The majority of students continue to rely on their seatmates for their answers.

5. Describe their span of attention.

When their teacher is discussing their lesson, the pupils show more patience.
 Analyze and answer these questions on observed classroom management practices. It is also good
to ask the teacher for additional information, so you can validate your observation. Write your notes below;
and then organize your data in the Table that follows

1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids, books,
students’ belongings, supplies, etc.)? Describe these areas. Will it make a difference if these
areas for specific purposes are not present?
Some books are found in the back and are appropriately organized. They also have a
chalk box beside the table in the front. It will make a difference if its not present in the
classroom because it supports students knowledge and growth if the school don’t provide it then
there will be lacking of objectives that should be in the classroom.
2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these rules reinforce
positive behavior?
Although there are no written rules or processes in the room, the teacher constantly
reminds the students of the rules and procedures in the classroom. Because students are aware
of the regulations, some are not obstinate.
 Maintain a positive outlook.
 Positive language should be used.
 Line up in a clean and quiet manner.
 Stay seated and listen with your ears and eyes.
 Participate in discussions.
 Respect the opinions of others.
 Follow the directions given by the teacher the first time they are delivered.
 Work together with your classmates.
 Be inventive.
 Be truthful and use technology wisely.
 Take pride in your work.
3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If the Resource Teacher is
available, ask him/her to describe the process. What's the effect of students’ participation in
rule-making on student's behavior?
I can tell that the pupils are actively involved in the creation of the classroom rules
because they pay attention to what their teacher says. Only a few pupils do not always
obey the guidelines, but I believe they can be managed.
4. What are the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher? (Prayer, attendance, assignment of
monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?
When the teacher enters, everyone will rise and someone will lead the prayer, followed by
the good morning greeting, assignment checking, and sometimes some warm-up activities before
the teacher delivers the new subject.

5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this help in
managing the class?

When it comes in seating arrangements, students were arranged according to their surname.
It helps the class especially to the teachers to remember the students name easily.

6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this managed?

The noise level in the classroom can sometimes become unmanageable, but when the
teacher begins to shift her tone (to an angry tone), the kids’ attention is drawn immediately to her.
The teacher sometimes cautions the rowdy students by giving them a minus so that they will
follow her, but most of the time, the pupils, especially those in the back, are quite boisterous.

7. If a learner is not following instruction or is off-task, what does the Resource Teacher do?
Describe the behavior strategies used.

When a student is off task, the teacher informs him or her that they are not following
instructions. When the learner continues to disobey, the teacher will issue a warning to the pupil
about his behavior and take appropriate measures.

8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (behavior strategies)

When a pupil exhibits appropriate behavior, the teacher rewards him or her with
positive reinforcement. Those who actively participate earn extra points from the teacher. The
teacher will often make positive comments such as “very good” to encourage students to
participate in class. Boys in the back are sometimes noisy, and they don’t always clean the room
before 7:00 a.m. Students are easily distracted by noise. The attention span of students is
extremely limited. Some kids are unable to work independently.
REFLECTION
Reflection as a future teacher.
1. Why do you need to enforce positive discipline?
To be a great teacher, I need to implement good discipline, not just because I need to educate
the kids, but because I want to love, care for, organize, and prepare myself for the learners I need
to teach. Also, by giving effective strategies and encouraging them to appreciate the necessity of
following standards and discipline, they would be able to develop their abilities and knowledge.
As a consequence, they may benefit from it, and regardless of where they go or what job they
pursue, they will at least carry what I taught them, which is a joy for me as their instructor.

ANALYZE

1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners' behavior?
 The learners' conduct is influenced by classroom organization and routines, since if the
classroom and routines are well-organized, students will be more motivated to learn. It will
create a positive learning environment for pupils since they will know that everything is well-
organized and will go smoothly. Students that are productive are those who have a well-
organized classroom and follow a routine.tra energetic activities to avoid boredom inside the
classroom and every day routine. Students that are productive are those who have a well-
organized classroom and follow a well-established schedule.
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?
The teacher should consider what the effect of his or her planned organization and
routines will be. It must have a positive and beneficial impact on pupils’ learning. To ensure that
everything runs smoothly, the instructor must have experience organizing and implementing
processes. The teacher must employ all of the teaching principles he or she has acquired, as well
as all of the tactics, methods, strategies, approaches, and theories that he or she is familiar with,
in order to facilitate learning. If all of this is fulfilled, the children will have a good and
successful classroom.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners?
In motivating students? Why were they effective?
Giving positive incentives to students who are doing well in class is an excellent
behavior approach for regulating their conduct. Learners will be inspired to participate in class
and will repeat their positive behaviors in this manner. One of the key reasons why pupils are
motivated is because they are given encouraging remarks such as “very good” or awards.

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?
If I ever had to reorganize my classroom, I’ll go with the secondary level, specifically the
fourth year. I chose fourth year since they are about to graduate and I want to provide them with
some information and morals before they enter college. I’ll create certain routines and
procedures that I know will help them be more organized and learn more effectively in the
classroom. I will establish a desirable environment by using a range of instructional resources in
a permissive and stimulating environment to catch the learners’ attention and encourage them to
ask questions.

2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these
rules?
If I must make rules, they will be as follows: students must wear their proper uniforms,
follow proper etiquette, speak kindly and respectfully to one another, care for the classroom
equipment, latecomers will not be tolerated, everyone must pay attention if someone is speaking
at the front, and so on. These rules were chosen because they are not widely observed and
obeyed by students anymore, and I want to bring them back and train them to be disciplined
3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
Yes, in my opinion, because it is one means for students to express their opinions or
points of view regarding classroom rules. This is possible because the classroom is democratic
and everyone is free to discuss and speak their minds; nevertheless, students should be aware of
their limitations because professors are still superior to them. It is up to the teacher to decide
whether or not to involve his or her pupils in the creation of class rules, or if the instructor will
set the rules on his or her own because the classroom must be autocratic for him or her.
