the teacher to facilitate learning.
Step 2: observe the cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational
processes in the classroom.

Grade/Year level: Grade IV

Subject Area: Mathematics

1. What principles in teaching-learning were commonly

applied?
Principles in teaching-learning that is commonly
applied is Practice make perfect. Based on my
observation, the teacher gave various exercises inorder
to master the lesson presented to them. And also the
principle learning depends upon the childs ability,
one time, I observed the teacher adjust to ability of her
pupils. She started again from explaining from the
beginning for those other can cope up.
2. What instructional materials were used in teaching?
The teacher used chart, sticked with a play money
and coin. On the next day, she uses a concrete sample
of money and it was distributed to the pupils for their
games.
3. Which of the principles in teaching facilitate the cognitive,
metacognitive and positive motivational processes of
learning?

The principles in teaching facilitate the cognitive,

metacognitive and positive motivational processes of
learning is relating new lessons to what is already
known: this is connecting the prior knowledge to the
new lesson and new knowledge is form on the bases on
what has been understood and believed.

Most parents know that reading to your child for fifteen minutes every
day is one of the most important activities you can do with your preschooler to help her succeed in school. But what you may not know are
some of the secrets teachers use during storytime to teach important
early literacy skills to their kids

Left to Right This may sound simple, but running your fingers
under the words as you read has many valuable lessons for
young readers. The left to right and top to bottom orientation in
the English language is not natural to young children.

Working With Words If your child is inquisitive, she may

naturally ask the meaning of words she doesn't recognize.
Reading is a wonderful opportunity to expand your childs
vocabulary as most picture books contain some words that your
child may not know

Point Out Punctuation Although it's not necessary for her to

know what an explanation point, question mark or period is
before she starts to read, being familiar with these common
punctuation marks will help her feel more comfortable in the
world of print.

Letter Hunt For a fun alternative to just reading a book, give

your child a specific letter to hunt for on each page. Give her a
magnifying glass and tell her she's a letter detective! Begin with
the letters in her name to pique her interest in the activity

Sight Word Search If your child's a little older, you can begin
to help her recognize some simple sight words found in most
books. The ten most common used words in the English
language (ranked by frequency) are: the, of, and, a, to, in, is,
you, that, it. Give your little one a head start at reading by
helping her recognize these words in print. Write one word on
several mini self stick notes and have her stick one on each page
where she finds the word

Make a Prediction Before you read a new book together, look

Scribble as brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your

observation experience.

My insights from my observation, as teachers we

should be able to get the attention of our pupils, there are
various ways in getting their attention like for example;
you enhance your instructional materials not just purely
writing on the board, you can present a picture, or you
conduct an active activity, so the pupil will not feel the
boredom and to stop them roaming around.
It is also important that you have a clear and audible
voice so the pupils will listen attentively. Other ways to
motivate student is by asking question that is already
familiar to them, with that they can participate and be
able to tied-up to the new lesson.

Peace Concept on Focus:

CRITICAL FRIENDS
The observations made on the principles of
teaching and learning are shared with a fellow FS
student to share insights and draw common
conclusion as to applicability and effectiveness
according to given context and type of learners.
This sharing is meant to critique the observations
in a friendly mode.

Your Map

After the principles of teaching and learning in the classroom

setting, you will now start to journey through the methods,
strategies, and approaches of teaching and learning by first
observing actual classroom teaching.
To hit your target, work your way through these steps:
Step 4: Reflect on your experience.
Step 3: Confer with the teacher regarding observable
and significant events.

as they teach their lesson noting patterns and variety.

MY JOURNAL
Name of the School Observed: Andres Soriano College
School Address: Mangagoy, Bislig City
Grade/ Year level: Grade IV
Description of Teaching Strategies:
The teaching strategies used by the teacher by the time that I observed were the
cooperative learning. The pupil has given the chance their knowledge and ideas and
the other may learn something from ones experience. It also helps the teacher to
determine on where to start her lesson based on the prior knowledge of the child.

Description of learning activities:

The learning activities I observed were group activities. Since they are only few, they
were divided into 2 groups and they will act as if they were buying something using
the play money produced by the teacher.

Description of learners participation (proportion of learners who participated and

quality of participation)
So far, the teacher managed her students to participate in learning activities. Maybe
she already have the prior knowledge about the value of money that is why the
pupils are not having a hard time in doing such activities. At the same time, the
teacher seems very strict for those student who will not participate.

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation
experience.

I learned that to become an effective teacher, it is

not enough that you master only your lesson; you have
to be equipped with strategies and techniques on how
you will present your lesson to make it rich,
meaningful and permanent. Motivation is very
essential in learning activities. You have to make sure
that almost 100% of the pupils will participate and

attentive in any discussion and whatever activities

you will have.
As teacher you will also have to show to your
pupils that you are also interested in your subject
matter. Because once you are dull they will get bored.
Theres one big thing that I would like to comment
about the teachers behavior. I know that it is part of
the teacher to correct student but not to the extent to
use the words Mura kag abnormal bulok man diay
ka; youre intention is not to motivate pupil rather
youre insulting them.
Peace Concept on Focus:
Collaboration/Participation/Cooperation
Students should be able to provide opportunities
to the learners to participate and collaborate with
others in classroom activities through strategies
that allow more learners engagement and
cooperation.
