Preparing for Teaching and Learning

Observe a class with the use of the principles of learning given in Revisit the
Learning

cooperate happily to their task.
Essentials. I will identify evidence of applications/violations of the principles
of learning. I can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.

1. What principles of learning were most applied? Least applied?


- As what I have observed the most applied principles of learning
are the, “Learning is the discovery of personal meaning and
relevance of ideas” and “Learning in an active process” it is
where the students have a chance to participate and cooperate
with the discussion with their teacher.

Least Applied
- The least applied principles of learning are the, “Effective
learning begins with the setting of clear and high expectations
of learning outcomes” sometimes the teacher is not well
prepared with their visual aids so the students did not catch
their attentions.
2. Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?

• Learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of ideas


and Learning in an active process.
Example: before the teacher start the discussion, she will ask a few
question which is related to the topic and let the students give their
ideas and thoughts so the teacher will start the discussion with the
given thoughts and idea of the students and the active learning
process will be applied.
• Effective learning begins with the setting of clear and high
expectations of learning outcomes.
Example: the preparation of the teacher for her visual materials.
• Learning is cooperative and collaborative process. Learning is
enhanced in an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration.
Example: the students will work together to finish and accomplish a
certain task given by their teacher.

REFLECT
From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most
important?
Principles of learning are the guidelines for the ways for the teacher
achieve his/her learning outcomes. For me the most important principle
among the principles of learning is the “Learning is an Active Process”
because the learnings of the students will always depend on how their
teacher will discuss and elaborate the topic, if the teacher did not explain
the topic very well the students will not learn from her but if the teacher is
well prepared and knows very the topic the students will learn.
ANALYZE

Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused?


For me, SMART objectives help the lesson become more focused to its
goals because the teacher will set objectives with specific, measurable,
achievable, realistic and timely. With these the teacher will be aware and
guided on what are the desirable outcomes.
REFLECT
Reflect on the Lesson learned in determining SMART learning outcomes.
- I have learned from the lesson in determining SMART learning
outcomes is that, making a learning outcome it should follow the SMART
(specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely) because it will really
help us to stay focus on we desire to achieve and it will also help the
students to develop their learning process. And it makes the learning
outcomes clear and organized.

OBSERVE

I will observe one Resource Teacher with the use of this observation sheet. Using
the guide questions, I shall reflect on my observations and analysis.

hour.

What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:


a) Constructivist – connected to past experiences of learners; learners constructed
new lesson meanings.
- During the class discussion, the teacher let her students think about their past
experiences related to the topic.

b) Inquiry-based
- The teacher posed questions to the students about the topic to encourage her
students to think independently and the question was subjective.

c) Developmentally appropriate – learning activities fit the developmental stage of


children
- The teacher’s nurture the child’s development.

d) Reflective
- Reflective teaching includes thinking about, remembering and evaluating a
teaching experience.

e) Inclusive – No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.


- The teacher will let her students learn and no one will be excluded. All students
have the opportunity to learn.

f) Collaborative – Students work together.


- The teacher will let her students to work together as a groupmates.
g) Integrative – Lesson was multidisciplinary – e.g. In Science, Math concepts were
taught.
- The teacher integrates other subjects that are related to the topic.

ANALAYZE

1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and
for the test?
- The possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery
and for the test is that the students will not extend their knowledge regarding the
particular topic because the teacher limit their concept of learnings.

2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or
student-centered? Why?
- If I were to reteach a class, I would still use the students-centered
approach because as a teacher I’m here for them to facilitate and correct them if
they commit mistakes.

REFLECT
Reflect on Principles of Teaching worth applying.
- As a future teacher, the principles of teaching are worth applying because it is
really important to us to improve ourselves and the process of learning on our
students. These principles promote us to excellence in terms in teaching and learning
the students. It also enhanced the students’ engagement through effective teaching.
