6. TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGIES AND ASSESSMENT METHODS

There are varieties of teaching strategies that will be utilized in this class to further improve
the students learning.

1. Activity- a general teaching method (e.g., problem solving, design challenge, field trips, role
playing) based on planned, purposeful involvement of students.

2. Cooperative learning- Learners are placed in groups of four to six. Sometimes the groups are as
diverse or heterogeneous as possible. In such cases, group members are often rewarded for the
group's overall success.

3. Demonstration- A teaching method based predominantly on the modeling of knowledge and

skills. A form of presentation whereby the teacher or learners show how something works or
operates, or how something is done.

Leading Innovations, Transforming Lives

Page 3 of 8
 4. Direct instruction- A term used to describe explicit, step-by-step instruction directed by the
teacher. The format or regimen advocated is demonstration, guided practice, and independent
practice.

5. Discussion- Discussions occur when a group assembles to communicate with one another
through speaking and listening about a topic or event of mutual interest. To illustrate, a group of
learners convenes to discuss what it has learned about global warming.

6. Drill and practice- A form of independent study whereby, after the teacher explains a task,
learners practice it. After Students are shown how to use Ohm's Law, they are asked to make
calculations of current, resistance and voltage.

7. Feedback- A semi-formal mode of communicating to students constructive criticism regarding

their performance during an activity.

8. Project- Students work through a series of activities and problems culminating in the completion
of something tangible (e.g., artifact, media, performance). A form of individualization whereby
learners choose and work on projects and activities that facilitate and support the development of
skills and knowledge. Often, learners not only choose topics but also the means of their conduct and
production.

9. Recitation- Students are given information to study independently. They then recite what they
have learned when questioned by the teacher.

10. Workshop - A type of interactive training where students carry out a number of activities rather
than passively listen to a lecture or presentation.

Assessment and Evaluation Methods

1. Tests and Examinations. Schools have traditionally used tests in assessment programming
to measure whether students have acquired a certain process- and content-related knowledge.
These tests focus on the missions, goals, and objectives and permit useful projections of student
behavior and learning. A well-constructed and carefully administered test that is graded by two
or more judges for the specific purpose of determining program strengths and weaknesses
remains one of the most popular instruments for assessing student performance.

2. Hands-On Strategy (e.g. use of computer lab). The Instructor will give the students an
activity to be done using the school’s computer laboratory where the students will apply the
lectures and discussion done beforehand. This will monitor the students in how well they are
able to apply the lectures and discussion given.

3. Rubric. Scoring tool that will explicitly represent the set of criteria in grading the Hands-on
Activities.

7. COURSE REQUIREMENTS

A. Major Examinations. As mandated by the university policy on giving of major

examinations, the course will provide major examinations (i.e., prelim, midterm, semi-final,
and final examinations) to measure the cognitive learning of the course. These examinations
will be taken on the scheduled examination dates. The papers will be checked, recorded, and
computed as major examinations. Examination papers will be returned to students the
soonest time possible within the respective grading period.

B. Homework / Seatwork. There will be homework, seatwork, and board work to be given in
class about some topics needing further understanding; thus, you are encouraged to do it. It
will be due at the beginning of the following lecture period unless otherwise specified. Late
assignments will not be accepted anymore.You are encouraged to work on the homework
with groups of your classmates. The purpose of the homework is to practice with the material
and to improve your understanding. I encourage you to learn from each other, and also to ask

Leading Innovations, Transforming Lives

Page 4 of 8
 me when you have questions. However, the homework that you will submit for grading must
be written individually. Keep in mind that most of your grade in this course is determined by
exams, which you will have to do by yourself alone.

C. Laboratory Experiments. The Instructor will give the students an activity to be done using
the school’s computer laboratory where the students will apply the lectures and discussion
done beforehand. This will monitor the students in how well they are able to apply the
lectures and discussion given.

D. Class Participation.Active participation through prescribed and guided

activities/requirements is an utmost goal in this course. The course will delve in laboratory
activities, group reports, discussions, special readings, and summary lectures of inclusive
topics for the course.

8. COURSE POLICIES

A. Refer to the University Student Handbook for the policies on Attendance, Dropping of
Subject, and on Scholastic Delinquency.

B. Academic Misconduct

Academic misconduct will be subject to disciplinary action. Any act of dishonesty in

academic work constitutes academic misconduct. This includes plagiarism, changing or
falsifying any academic documents or materials, cheating, and giving or receiving
unauthorized aid in tests, examinations, or other assigned school works. Punishment for
academic misconduct will vary according to the seriousness of the offense. Punishment for
such offenses includes expulsion, suspension, non-credit of examination and the like.

C. Regulations and Restrictions in the Classroom

The students should be completely aware of their behavior and attitude inside the class.
They must avoid interrupting or distracting the class on any level. The following must be
strictly observed during the class.
a. The orderliness and cleanliness of the classroom must be maintained before, during
and after the class.
b. Any material or gadget irrelevant to the subject must be turned off and kept.
c. Chatting or talking with the seatmates is prohibited unless required in the classroom
activity.
d. Going in and out of the room without permission from the instructor.
e. Being excused by friends or peers from the class for any reason is not allowed except
for emergency cases concerning family problems or administrative reasons.

D. Grading System

Final grades are computed as follows:

60% (Average grade in Preliminary, Midterm, Semi-final and Final Examinations)

30% (Laboratory Activities / Exercises)
10% (Class Standing – Assignment, Quizzes, Recitation, Seatwork)
100%
