ANALYZE

1. Are the learning resources/material arranged properly according to their functions and
characteristics?
Yes, the learning materials are categorized and organized according to their
respective functions. This way, the students can access it easily, depending on their
learning needs.

2. Do the guideline and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers?
Why? Why not?
Yes, these guidelines definitely contribute easier access for teachers to employ
efficient facilitation of such learning materials. There were printed guidelines/rules
in the learning resource center, allowing the teachers to act accordingly and
demonstrate appropriate behavior in the LRC.

3. What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?

The learning resource center has almost complete learning materials needed
by the students. Besides these learning resources were organized according to its
corresponding functions. These were categorized into printed, auditory, non-
electronic, and ICT resources.

4. What are its weaknesses?

Since we are in the time of pandemic, and these centers were not occupied by
students for so long, the materials were a bit dusty. The materials were not properly
maintained in its places.

5. What Suggestions can you make?

I think it is better to have a general cleaning once in a while to maintain the
quality of these learning materials available at the school. It is better to store them
in a clean and nice environment to prolong its shelf life.
REFLECT

1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center caught your interest most? Why?
The learning material that caught my attention were the numerous
computers organized in a room as big as two regular classrooms. The computer sets
were aligned well. Besides, upon seeing it, it can definitely accommodate a large
number of students.

2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?

I am confident in using the learning material “computer”, as I have been
using it since my Junior High School years. We were taught basic ICT functions,
platforms and purposes. Thus, I am confident that I can properly use this specific
learning material in my future teaching career.

3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

I think I need to learn more about utilizing Non-Electronic Resources, in a way that
I can do other teaching activities aside from its main purpose–probably in a more creative
and interactive way, to make the teaching and learning process inclusive and efficient.

Date of Observation: November 11, 2021

Subject Matter: Implications of Media and Information

Brief Description of teaching approach Used by the Teacher:

The teacher began with addressing concerns of the students, then she proceeded with
an interactive priming activity to indulge the students on the topic to be introduced.
Afterward, she proceeded with the lesson-proper. Ma’am Masa uses the traditional teaching
method of being the sole source of information. She expounds the lecture through a creative
powerpoint presentation and videos from Youtube.

Use the technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer to the Technology
Integration Matrix on p. 123, In which level of technology integration do you think the teacher
you observed operated? Why?

According to the Technology Integration Matrix, it falls in the middle of levels

“Adoption” and “Infusion”. It is a combination of both levels as the teacher encourages the
students to use some online educational platforms in their activities/tasks regarding the
lesson. Furthermore, since the class is in the “online learning setup,” they are engaged in
the ICT platform “Google Meet” throughout the duration of class. Besides, this platforms
allow various functions that is similar to the face to face class setup.

Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristic of the learning
environment in the class that you observed? Point your observations that justify your answer.
Based on my observations, the learning environment of the class has at least one cell
description from the five categories in the matrix. First, in the “Active” category, the
teacher allows the students to create, select, and access online learning tools they can use to
understand the topics better. Second, the learners can use various educational platforms in
creating both their individual and group tasks. Third, “Constructive-Entry Level”, since
the teacher uses PowerPoint Presentation in discussing, the learning is passive.
Consequently, it is both “Authentic and Goal-Directed,” as it involves attainment of
learning outcomes and application into real-world settings and situations.

Over-all, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give you suggestions.
The learning resources were equally effective, yet can be modified for better results
of teaching and learning process. The teacher may have included interactive slides in
between discussions to promote active learning. Another option is integrating online
platforms for priming activities or formative assessments.

REFLECT
1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you
do differently if you would teach the same lesson to the same group of students. Why?

I would probably integrate the same methods, mainly the use of PowerPoint
Presentations and Youtube. However, I would include more slides that promote
interaction among students and the teacher. This way, students will be able to share
their ideas and insights regarding the lesson being talked about. Additionally, they
may use the platform to ask questions if they cannot grasp the information that is
being discussed. Then, other students may provide the explanation, or it may come
from the teacher. I am for an inclusive and interactive class, thus, it is better that the
platform is accessible for all–to promote learning on both ends.

Activity 11.3: exploring Education 4.0

5. Reflect on your FS experience.

OBSERVE

Class Observation Guide

Read the following statements carefully before you observe.

1. What is the lesson about? What are the teacher’s objectives?

The lesson was all about “Text and Visual Dimensions of Media”. There are
four main points in this lecture, the different types and characteristics of text and
how it affects presenting media; design and principles; types of visual media and
principles in visual design.

Consequently, the teacher set learning objectives such as;

1. Explain the principles in designing text and visual elements;

2. Evaluate the impact of text and visual content and forms;
3. Design a personal brand or logo using appropriate text and visuals; and
4. Spread positive and affirming information through visual media.

2. Note the important concepts that the teacher is emphasizing.

The concepts that the teacher was emphasizing were the differences among type
fonts, visual elements, and how the design influences the content of media
information.

3. Note the skills that the teacher is developing in the learners.

In this class, the teacher was developing the ability of the students to create their
own brand or media content. Moreover, it provides the opportunity for learners to
enhance their skills in spreading positive media content. Lastly, it allows them to
use their critical thinking in assessing various forms of media content.

REFLECT

1. Describe your experience in surfing the internet for appropriate electronic resources for
the class? What makes it easy? Difficult?

Surfing on the internet is easy, it has become part of my routine, as a student.

Online resources have been our main source of information, thus making us familiar
on various sites and platforms. However, results in these kinds of topics do not often
contain lots of options. For instance, in this specific topic, only four results came out.

2. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What did you consider?
Explain. Which of the new trends in Education 4.0 would you like to explore more for
your work as a teacher? Why?

I included both Open Educational Resources and Social Networks as

resources for this lesson. I considered the factor of what is more convenient and
what am I familiar with. Nevertheless, I want to explore more about Virtual Reality
and Augmented Reality since these are hard to experience. Although, I think this
will be beneficial, especially in this type of online learning setup.

3. Reflect on your technology skills. What skills do you already have, and what skills would
you continue to work on to be better at utilizing education 4.0 resources?

Based on the Fundamental Digital Skills for 21st Century Teachers, I can
already record and edit audio clips, create infographics , create engaging
presentations, create digital portfolios, and digital quizzes. Hence, I would like to be
better in creating video content and blogs to make the teaching and learning
process efficient and interactive.
