COURSE DESCRIPTION
Study 1 is an outcomes-based course designed to give students significant opportunities
to observe and analyze the characteristics and behaviors of learners in actual learning
environments. It is intended to develop the skills in identifying and understanding the
characteristics and needs of diverse learners. These skills will be vital in creating a conducive
environment, choosing and evaluating developmentally appropriate approaches in planning and
managing the environment, delivering content, facilitating learning activities, and assessing
learners.
COURSE OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, the FS student must be able to:
1. Describe the physical, motor, linguistic, cognitive, social and emotional development of
the learners as manifested in actual learning environments.
2. Reflect on how to address the learners needs and various factors that affect the teaching
and learning process.

Step 2
Record the data you gathered about the learner’s characteristics and needs
in this matrix. This will allow you to compare the characteristics and needs of
learners at different levels. The items under each domain are by no means
exhaustive. These are just sample indicators. You may add other aspects
which you may have observed.

My Reflections/Insights
1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own
experiences when you were their age? What similarities or
differences do you have with the learners you observed?
Yes. I noticed, however, that the students in the class are more
disciplined and well-behaved than my classmates in high school,
specifically the boys. The students in the class are focused on the
lesson, actively participate, and do not disrupt the class or behave in
a disorderly manner.
1. A 14-year-old felt ignored by her crush whom she believes is her one
true love. She is crying incessantly and refuses to listen and accept
sound advice that the teacher is offering. Her refusal to accept is
because
A. she thinks what she feels is too special and unique, that no one has felt like
this before.
B. the teenager’s favorite word is “no”, and she will simply reject everything the
teacher says.
C. 14-year-olds are not yet capable of perspective talking and cannot take the
teacher’s perspective.
D. teenagers never listen to adult advice.
