LEARNING EPISODE 1
THE SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENT
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school
environment that is safe, secure and is supportive learning.
1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent Practices that:
o keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction,
o maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
o address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students
3. As a basic part of the school's visual environment, display boards have. four general
purposes:
Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social
and psychological atmosphere of the school.
Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence.
An example would be the display of students' outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners' growth and
progress.
Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication.
Attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility,
correctness, and durability.
ACTIVITY 1.1 Exploring the School Campus
To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, work my way through these steps:
1. Visit a school. Look into facilities and support learning areas in the campus, then
in the classroom.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
4. Reflect on the characteristics of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good school environment through any of these
As you move around the campus, observations forms are provided for you to
document your observations. It is advised that you read the entire worksheet before
proceeding to the school site. A good understanding of the activities and tasks to be
accomplished in the activity sheets will yield better learning results
Familiarized yourself with the different areas and facilities of the school. Check the
column to their availability. Give a brief description of those that are available, and say
how each will contribute to the students' learning and development.

ACTIVITY 1.2
Observing bulletin board displays
The display board, or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is one
of the most readily available and versatile learning resources.
To achieve the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps:
1. Examine for bulletin board displays. Include samples of those found at the
entrance, lobby, hallways and classrooms
2. Pick one and evaluate the display.
3. Propose enhancements to make the display more effective
As you look around and examine board displays, use the observation guide and
forms provided for you to document your observations.
1. Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board display you see'?
2. Where are the display boards found? Are they in places where target viewers can see them?
3. What are the displays about? What key messages do they convey? What images and colors
do you see? How are the pieces of information and images arranged?
4. What materials were used in making the displays? Are borders used?
5. Do you notice some errors? (Misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies and the like)
6. Are the messages clear and easily understood?
7. Think about what got your attention. Why did it get your attention?
8. Take a photos of the display boards (if allowed ).

LEARNRES DIVERSITY:
DEVELOPMENTAL,
CHARACTERISTICS, NEEDS AND
INTEREST
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to describe the characteristics needs, interest
of learner from different development.
1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as, from the
head to the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards
2. Development takes place gradually.
3. All domains of development and learning physical, social and emotional, and cognitive- are
important, and they are closely interrelated. (NAEYC, 2009)
4. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or
representational capabilities. (NAEYC, 2009)
observe
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work your way through these steps:
Step 1 Observe 3 groups of learners from different levels (preschool, elem., and high school).
Step 2 Describe each of the learners based on my observations.
Step 3 Validate my observation by interviewing the learners.
Step 4 Compare them in terms of their interests and needs.
Use the observation guide and matrices provided for you to document your
observations.
Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation report on the
provided space. Your teacher may also recommend another observation checklist if a more
detailed observation is preferred.
Physical
1. Observe their gross motor skills how they carry themselves, how they move, walk,
and run, go up the stairs, etc.
2. Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth?
3. How about their fine motors skills? Writing, drawing, etc.
Social
1. Describe how they interact with teachers and other adults.
2. Note how they also interact with peers. What do they talk about? What are their
concerns?
Emotional
1. Describe the emotional disposition or temperament of the learners. (happy, sad,
easily cries, mood-shifts
Cognitive
1. Describe their ability to use words to communicate their ideas. Note their language
proficiency.

INTEREST, EXPERIENCES LANGUAGE, RACE,
CULTURE, RELIGION, SOCIO-ECONOMIC
STATUS, DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
2 The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of
learners:
a. Differences in learners' gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences
b. Learners' linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities. giftedness, and talents
d Leaners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation,
chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or
disasters, child abuse, and child labor.
Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors
mentioned affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They
remember that the learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers
assure the students that their gender identity culture and religion are respected, their
strengths are recognized, and their needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that
everyone has the chance to learn and succeed. They create a learning community
where everyone can work together and contribute regardless of their abilities, capacities
and circumstances.
Igorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have the Badjaos, Ati and
Tumandok, Mangyans, and Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act, recognizes
and protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and
indigenous peoples (IP). Our country was admired by other nations for
enacting this law. However, years later, so much still has to be done prove
the lives of millions of people from indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis,
2017)
c. Guided by RA 8371, in 2015 DepEd issued DO 32, s.2015, Adopting the
Indigenous Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework, Most useful for
you as a future teacher to remember are the 5 Key Elements of an
Indigenous Peoples Education Curriculum (DO 32, s.2015
enclosure.pp.15-18):
a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community's world
view, and its indigenous cultural institutions.
b. Includes and respects. The community's expression of spirituality as part of
the curriculum context.
c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity.

by gender? by racial or ethnic groups? By their interests? Or are the students in
mixed social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
Circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected
the learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.

LEARNER DIVERSITY: THE COMMUNITY
AND HOME ENVIRONMENT
1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s biological model presents the learner within the context of
layer of relationship system that make up the learner’s environment. The layers
are:
The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner's environment
to understand his behavior. The teacher's important role is not to replace what is
missing at home (if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that
welcomes and nurtures families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the
family and the community to bring out the best in every learner.
Authoritarian. Parents- are very firm with their children and expect unwavering
and unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met
with withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations.
May be warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have
clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children
with respect and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their
behavior.
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited,
hostile and aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are
often impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of
independence and responsibility.

LEARNING EPISODE 8
CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH THE SCHOOL
CURRICULUM
From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such
definition of total learning outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called
school. Schools are formal institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are
the learners and the teachers. Basic education in the Philippines is under the
Department of Education or DepEd and the recommended curriculum is the K-12 or
Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic education schools offering
kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10, Junior High
School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.
Field Study 1 Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment
70
What are the salient features of the K to12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It
is a curriculum that:
1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of
contextualized lessons and addition of issues like disaster preparedness,
climate change and information and of communication technology (ICT) are
included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and values,
attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject.
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main
language in studying and learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will
become ready for higher level skills.
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a
spiral progression where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they
study the complex ones in the next grade level. The progression of topics
matches with the developmental and cognitive skills. This process strengthens
the mastery and retention.
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education
in Grade 12 will be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of
careers will be defined when they go to Grade 11 and 12.
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner
will be ready to embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall
that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in
the country.
A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects,
gadgets, laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement
the curriculum. This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the
lesson plan, an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or
end of the lesson. The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with
the school curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic
education? Teachers then should be multi talented professionals who:
know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
write the curriculum to be taught
plan the curriculum to be implemented;
initiate the curriculum which is being introduced;
innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;
implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students' everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated
bits of information.
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its
K to 12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) has been ahead of DepEd and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in
the practice of Competency Standards-Based teaching and Assessment. CHED requires

UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers Version 3 (ICT CFT v3, 2018)
The Information and Communications Technology Competency Framework for Teachers
(ICT
CFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers' development on the
effective and appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should
know and do clustered in six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in Education, 2.
Curriculum and Assessment, 3. Pedagogy, 4. Application of Digital Skills, 5. Organization
and administration, and 6. Teacher Professional Learning.
Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which
guide teachers as they develop their 1CT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to
Level 2, Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission on
Higher Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so

1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the
teaching-learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved.
Some of the names are Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource
Center, Teaching-Learning Technology Department, or Simply Learning
Resource Center
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcome was the ever-
expanding interface between the traditional library and ICT both in terms of
hardware and software systems and applications.
3. Schools may have different set-ups when it comes to a Learning Resource
Center (LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a
separate library, LRC, and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some only have the
LRC both for teachers and students. Still some have combined their learning
resource centers with maker spaces.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio-visual and
ICT resources to support the teaching-learning process
5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use
of audiovisual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in
producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the
students, teachers, and the school community.

Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for
you to define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and
guide you in the process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher's
integration of technology in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels:
entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and
enables quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the
learning environment are being active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-
directed.
The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Levels of Technology Integration
and the Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To
make you understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment,

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented
speed at which technology is evolving has disrupted many vital processes that involve
how we run production, businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The
following Technology trends have huge potential to transform the ways we teach and
learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resources (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for
teaching and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is
an abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps,
streaming videos, multimedia apps, podcasts, and many others. They can have a
significant impact on education as they are made available and easily accessible in the
internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this episode
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the' way we interact, learn
about things and share information. Sites and apps such as facebook, twitter,
Instagram provide a virtual venue for teachers and learners to work together interact
among themselves and with other classrooms locally and globally
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also
one who sends the most number of text messages per day. This indicates the high
number of mobile device users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool by
allowing teachers and students more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the
classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. loT is a system of computing mechanisms that become
built-in into many everyday things, that allow sending and receiving data through the
internet. A lot of things have turned "smart." We have smart cars that can navigate on
its own. Smart houses that monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface
with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our doctors. All of these
development can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when
computers or machine simulate thinking and behaviors of humans such as talking,
learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google
assistant are near samples of Al. Among others, uses of Al in education can be in the
areas of gamificationand adaptive instruction for learners with special needs.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transactions are done
electronically, and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and
stored. The challenge is how to make sense of this data, through analytics and
research, possibly answer pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning
most effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites.
Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as
kindergarten. Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary programs introduce
and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps learners develop novel ways of
exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with problem or project-based
learning approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly
technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, It is crucial to ensure
that human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology. Ethical
practices that protect the rights of every person need to be upheld.

her teaching.
- Accomplish this Observation Sheet.
Here are philosophies of education. Find out which philosophies were manifested in
class by observing what and how teacher teaches and relates to learners.
1. Essentialism - teach mastery of the basics; In what way was teacher essentialist?
curriculum is prescribed; subject matter-centered e.g. He/she saw to it that the students mastered
there are universal, objective values; inculcate basic concepts and skills
values; subject
he/she inculcated values
2. Perennialism- teach those that last, the
classics; there are universal values; inculcate
these universal, objective values
3. Progressivism very child-centered; teach
those that interest the child; one learns by
experience; learners learn by doing so teacher
teacher's teaching is experiential; values are
Subjective; no inculcation of values since they
are subjective; instead teachers help students
clarify their values
4. Reconstructionism - school is agent of
change; schooling is preparing students for
the social changes; teaching is involving the
students in discussions of moral dilemmas

make a choice, to make decisions and not
merely to follow the crowd; one who does not
make a choice and so simply follow others do
not leave meaningful life
