 Statement of Purpose

 My Teaching Philosophy

                           To educate is to become a better educated.  It is circular


process that improves with time; I believe the responsibility of educators is to provide
students with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in academic, business
and personal arenas. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is
a solution to many social problems. Education provides the tools to make informed
decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life.
Therefore pursuing knowledge and working to improve my skills as an educator are
among my highest priorities.  

                          As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in my


students and my self. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant
to current issues and events. Students learn and retain more information if the
material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive. For this
reason, I believe that using a variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the
internet, is an effective way to complement traditional course lectures remains the
foundation of the educational experience. I feel that I can encourage students to seek
new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an enthusiastic presentation of both
what is. And what is not known about subjects. When appropriate, the classroom
setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What better way to
make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing how
organisms interact with their environment?

                          In my interaction with students, I will strive always to be


respectful, especially when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product
of scientific thinking. I want my student to learn to think critically, not merely to
accept my ideas and opinions; my drive to pursue higher education was due in part to
several teachers who inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams.

An Observation Guide for a LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER

Learning resource center was a facility within a school which was operated by a
specialist and containing several information sources. It must be developed and
benefitted to educate all people and provide quality education. It must have current
resources for it is an avenue for learning.          

            As I visit and observe the different learning resource center, the learning
resources that were available or present were computers, textbooks, magazines,
newspapers, television, articles, DVD player, tapes and etc… All materials were
properly arranged according to their types and functions. It seems that all materials
have a proper maintenance because they were free any dust.           

            Every learning resource center has its own guidelines or procedures and
also rules. Those guidelines or procedure and rules do not involve great exertion or
discomfort on the part of the users because they were just easy to adhere or practice.

Impression:
Learning resources are the materials used by teachers to enhance the skills of
students, help to discover the different aptitudes and it provides learning experiences
to the students. All learning resources must be contemporary and the person in-
charge must know how to efficiently utilize it because learning resources support
curriculum.

Name and Signature of Observer:   JAY AR B. ASPERO

 Analysis

1. 1.      Were the learning resource/materials arranged properly according to


their functions and characteristics?

All learning resources or materials were arranged properly according their functions
and characteristics. The books inside the library were properly arranged as to their
types and functions. The proper arrangement of learning resources help the teachers
and students to locate it and it brings convenience to both teachers and students.

1. 2.      Do the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy access to the materials
by the teachers? Why? Why not?

The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials in such a way
that the guidelines and procedures do not involve great exertion or discomfort on the
part of the teachers or any users of it.

1. 3.      What are the strengths of this learning resource center?

Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted to educate all people and
provide quality education. It will become strong when the person in-charge knows
how to efficiently utilize it and the resources must be sufficient and must be
contemporary that will suit to the latest trends in the society.

1. 4.      What are its weaknesses?

A learning resource center was only good as the resources they have and the person
running it so if a learning resource center has insufficient or outdated resources it
will be weak. If they have current resources but no one knows how to efficiently utilize
them so it will be also weak. 

1. 5.      What suggestions can you make?


I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned and properly managed
so that it can function and give significant contribution to developing learning society
and establishing educated society. Learning resource center must be designed
according to the interest of students so that their attention will be caught and it must
be an information provider to reinforce student’s learning.

 Reflection

1. 1.      Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest


the most? Why?

It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly arranged
according to their types and functions. It seems that there was a proper maintenance
because most of the books were free from dust.

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

The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to multimedia
presentation were the gadgets or materials that give me a strong belief in my own
ability to use or operate it.

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

I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It is important
for me to be familiar and understand clearly its appropriateness and effectiveness in
delivering a topic.

An Observation Guide for Board Displays

Name of School Observed:     Sagay National High School 

Date of Visit:     August 16, 2012

As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found out that every
classroom has its own board display. Some classrooms have a bulletin board for
birthdays of students, classroom cleaners, classroom officers, classroom activities
and announcement and the most common was the board display that contains the
topics to be discussed in a certain grading period.

            I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it was more than
that if I will examine the whole campus. Board displays were located in front of the
canteen, near the faculty room and also near the entrance gate. Most of it was
announcements, activities or events in school and etc… The announcements were
written in a formal way that everyone can quickly and clearly understand , the
information were arranged past to latest and the materials used have a high quality
that can last for a longer time. Board display near the entrance of the gate was
covered by a class, so as to give protection to the content and materials used.

            Messages were clear enough as I read it and it can be easily understood
because there were no misspelled words or any inconsistencies in grammar.

Topic of the board displays: Buwan ng Wika and Science Month

Location of the board displays in school:  Near the entrance gate

1. Analysis
2. 1.      Did the board display design reflect the likes or interest of its target
audience? Why? or Why not?

Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the title and the
theme seem to be a student made. Since it is made by certain students, so I can say
that everything being posted are being reflected on the likes or interest of its target
audience because the main target audience are also the students but it is not the
totality because every student has its own style. It simply means that one student is
different from another student in terms of their likes or interest.

1. 2.      Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Or Why not?

Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read by the
target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly seen. The words
used were appropriate to the level of the students where in the students who will read
it can understand its thought.

1. 3.      What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it
effective? Why? Or  Why not?

In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey information to the
students such as information about the content of the subjects, proper hygiene, values
information and latest trends in the society. It also serves as motivation tool for the
students to do their best and as I look in it, it really works for it s purpose. By it
designs it holds attention, the contents were appropriate that provide learning
information, and the boards were not merely filled with written words but also
pictures that facilitates easy understanding.

1. 4.      What suggestions can you make?

I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought of the
sentence. The content must have something new that gives opportunity to the student
to participate or interact and it is important also to update the content. It would be
also nice to add more contents which will invite the participation of the students aside
from information that it conveys.

Theme:   

ACTIVITY BOARD
Board title: 

YOU ARE WANTED! PLEASE DO WHAT IS ASKED…


Rationale:

(purpose)

To enhance students’ participation in learning by using board display and the ability of students in

Cut Out Letters                                          Pasting Materials

Pictures                                                      Coloring Material

Boarders

1. Reflection
2. 1.      Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come
up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

Creative– the teacher can create ideas in a limitless way

Informative– the board display must have varied yet appropriate information

Idealistic– the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display would look
like and              how it will work for the learning of the target audience

Artistic- the teacher must have a sense of art in order to make an attractive board
display

Resourceful– resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the enhancement of the


board

1. 2.      Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences
in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative, informative


and artistic. It was high school days when I started making a board display. The
content was the whole topic that covers our third grading period. I learn how to make
boarders and design a letter specifically the Old Text English Style because that was
my favorite font text. It was my first time to make a board display, thus I still need to
improve and practice those skills for future.

I practice those skills every time I do artworks such as making portfolios and
scrapbooks.

1. 3.      Which skills do you need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve
on or acquire these skills?

I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board display I must
know how to combine colors, make designs appropriate to the theme and purposed of
the board display, and to make it attractive. To have an artistic skills, I must practice
it while still a student, thus I must apply it every time I’m doing an artworks such as
portfolios and scrapbooks. There is also a need for me to accept criticism from others
towards my work in order for me to develop or improve my work.

I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and magazines,


searching through internet, and most of all to be updated about the events or
happenings in this world.

Date of Observation:     August 16, 2012

School:     Sagay National High School

Subject:     English

Grade/Year Level:     Third Year

As I observe the class, the topic was about idiomatic expression using participle.
Through the use of visual aids, the teacher delivers her lesson effectively. The topics
were written in a manila paper and there was legibility in the content because it can
be quickly and clearly understood by students sitting at the back. There was
experiential learning that happens inside the classroom and one of the reasons was
that, students interact on the learning materials that the teacher provides. The teacher
let her students read every detail in the visual aids, actually what was written on the
visual aid were questions for the students to be answered.

            Many of them were raising their hands to answer questions and it simply
indicates the student’s attentiveness, eagerness and understanding. As I closely
observed the student’s simple gestures, it was inevitable for me to conclude that they
were interested on the lesson. The focus of their sight was merely on the teacher and
the learning resources, and some of them were frowning maybe it’s because they were
very doubtful or dissented about the answer of their classmate. Those simple gestures
of students were the indication of attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.

Year Level of Class Observed:    Third Year

Date Of Observed:     August 16, 2012

Subject Matter:     Idiomatic Expression Using Participle

Brief Description of Teaching Approach Used By the Teacher:

The inquiry approach was used as a teaching approach. Inquiry is a recursive, ever

1. Analysis
2. 1.      What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the
materials/learning resources that she/ he used?

In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be attentive and
participative in their lesson, and also let her students utilize their analytical skills.
The instructional materials used were the perfect fit because the purpose was
accomplished. It really catches the attention of the students and it aids the teacher’
intention. The instructional materials serves as a clear representation that was
capable of giving clear information, through this, ht students were actively engaged
in the discussion and the teacher was trying to use her creativeness and
resourcefulness to facilitate the learning.

1. 2.      What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be
managed?

As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher experienced. The class
was well managed and the teacher did not find it hard to convince her students to
participate in the discussion and activity. There was an interaction between the
students and the teacher, and the teacher makes sure that her students stay on task as
observed.

1. 3.      Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively?


Why? Why not?

Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering the questions
written in the visual aid and some of them were able to answer what was asked. The
teacher gives appreciation to those students who answer the questions correctly and
to those who were not able to give their correct answer; the teacher gives feedback to
improve learning. Through the score of students on their quiz that shows a positive
result, I can conclude that learning material was used effectively.
Reflection

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

If I will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will also provide
activities in order for students to have an opportunity to practice and apply their
learning after learning a particular knowledge, skills and attitudes. I will also use the
same teaching approach which is the inquiry approach.

If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept of computer
literacy for students has been redefined (creating web pages, digitizing multimedia
and the use of social networking sites) thus I have to be aware of this trends, as my
own teaching effectiveness will depend on my understanding of these recent
technological trends. With this reason, I will create a game through the use of
projector in a way that has relation to the tropic. I will also present a power point
presentation that contains my topic for that day. Through this, the students will be
attentive and participative in the lesson and it brings convenience to my part. If the
resources are not available, I will use the chalkboard and I will provide them an
interactive activity by dividing them into groups to be followed by a short discussion,
this is to facilitate the visual, auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners. After I
implement the instruction, I will evaluate students by providing an assessment method
that is suited to the needs and interest of the students in order for me to measure the
retention of  students if they have achieved mastery, and to know if I’m going to
proceed or revise the instruction.

Date of Visit: August 16, 2012 

Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my chosen topic
which was the parts and functions of microscope. As I parts and functions of
microscope as my topic I also choose several learning resources such as chalkboard,
books, power point presentation, mock ups, realia, photocopies, pictures and visual
aids. I choose those several learning resources because for my topic because I believe
that it can help me achieve my lesson objectives and to maximize learning inside the
classroom. Since my topic is about parts and functions of microscope, so I can say
that available materials are appropriate for my target year level which is the second
year.

Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make flash cards, cut
out letters, and as much as possible learning resources that are made from
indigenous or recyclable materials.

I can gain competence in preparing instructional materials that are
appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives and learning styles of
my students.
2. 2.                 Doing survey can help me realize what other learning
materials that I need to make or avail in order to enhance learning in my class.
Doing surveys provide several options as well as bases for me to choose so that
I can produce an appropriate and effective materials that should be based on
students characteristics or learning styles and to my lesson objectives. It is also
necessary that the materials must be applicable to the subject matter.
3. 3.                 Doing survey may also help me evaluate the materials I will be
making is beneficial or relevant to my lesson. The information that I have
gathered during the survey will serve as my bases or guide on how I am going
to evaluate my materials. It is important for me to evaluate the materials that I
will be making so that I can produce an improved and developed materials
based from the evaluation I have made, with this reason I can gain competence
in making instructional materials that are appropriate to the learning content,
learning objectives, and learning styles of my students.

 Reflection

1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?

I like making power point presentations because it’s easy for me to put different
graphic designs, effects and transitions. I can also insert pictures, video clips and
even sounds. My purpose of selecting power point presentation among other
instructional materials is to make a clear representation and while presenting a topic,
it is necessary for me to monitor and facilitate to make sure that students stay on task.
I believe that making power point presentations aids in enhancing creativity.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How
did you overcome them?

I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the power point
program has a guide on how to use it. Making a presentation using power point
program is just an easy task for me. The only thing which I consider a problem for me
is on how I’m going to deliver the content in my presentation.

3. What tips can you give teachers regarding presentation of teaching?


The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her students. She/he
must see to it that his/her materials will fit to the learning styles of the students and
must be applicable for his/her subject matter for the materials to be effective. The
chosen materials must be appropriate and can contribute to the achievement of
learning objectives. In today’s generation, it is important for a teacher to meet the
changing needs and interest of students, thus several factors must consider such as
practicality, availability, cost effectiveness and appropriateness that is based on
student’s characteristics or learning styles and lesson objectives. The teacher may
also do surveys to the available materials or can search through the internet.

My Target

            At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in preparing
instructional materials (hand –out) that are appropriate to the learning content.

Subject Matter:  Types of Chemical Reactions

Grade/Year Level:  3rd year

Outline:

Combination reactions– in this type of reaction two or more substances maybe


element     or compound react to form a single product.

The combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide is an example of a


synthesis reaction:
8 Fe + S8 → 8 FeS

Decomposition reactions– this type of reaction occurs when a compound breaks up


into its component parts. It can be two or more substances out of a compound

The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas is an example of a


decomposition reaction:
2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2
Replacement reactions– this type of reaction occurs when an element is set free from
its compound producing a new element and new compound.

An example of a substitution reaction occurs when zinc combines with hydrochloric


acid. The zinc replaces the hydrogen:
Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Double replacement reactions- a type of reaction in which two compounds


combined to form two new compounds by exchanging their radicals.

An example of a double displacement reaction occurs between sodium chloride and


silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

 Analysis

1. 1.     After working on your handout, answer the following questions:

What are the good features of a handout? 

A good handout must be concise and can be understood by the readers. There must be
subtitles that make it easier to read and the key words must be in bold type in order to
have an emphasis. To shorten it, the use of bullet point format may contribute as well
as the use of diagrams, flowcharts and etc… Make sure that all the important pints of
the presentation are on the hand out and do not include too much information,
otherwise it can become cluttered. The content must be easily recognized and it must
be sequence properly to avoid confusion. The content must have legibility.

1. 2.     Which of these features are present in the hand out I made?


Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise and
comprehensive. The key concepts were emphasized because they are in bold type. I
also use bullets, concept map. I contained all the important points of the presentation
and I sequenced the details properly to avoid misconceptions.

The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of chemical
reactions.

1. 3.     Which features are not present in the handout I made?

Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My penmanship was
not good enough to make my handout very attractive to the eyes of the readers, yet
there is a chance to enhance its legibility by using one of the applications of a
computer specifically the Microsoft word office.

I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not necessary to use
subtitles for that subject matter.

Reflection

1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter been making the handouts?
How did you overcome them?

To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable source or


references and assistance from a computer. The only thing that took time and needed
brain storming is the conceptualization of the flow of the handout and the concept
map that I included. So first I did was to make an outline of the content of my handout
then I read several references and searching through the internet just to form my
concept map.

I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions. So what I did
was to read and understand the details in every chemical reaction so that I can give
correct examples.

2. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts?

The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making the handout.
Then he/she must conceptualize the flow and the content of the handout by making an
outline. The teacher must also read several references so that the handout will be an
informative tool for the students learning.
In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in order for the
students to read it easily and the keywords must be in bold type in order to have an
emphasis. Bullet point format and concept map must be use to summarize the content.
The teacher must put all the important points in the handout and he/she must not
include too much information to avoid cluttering. The teacher must know how to
sequence the content in order to avoid confusions

My Target

            At the end of this activity, I will gain competence in developing and utilizing
materials (slide presentations) which involve students in meaningful learning.

                     

 Analysis

1. 1.      What are the good features of a slide presentation?

                       A good slide should include transitions or effects to put emphasis


on some points of the lesson, but not too many. It must have also one design or theme
for whole slides to avoid confusion or any misconception. The slides must not too
long, nor too short to avoid cluttering in the slides. A pictures speaks thousands
words, hence photos must be included in the slides to let students know what I am
talking about. The contents of the slides are important points of the lesson and must
not include the whole words that I have to say for the whole discussion.

1. 2.      Which of these features are present in the slide presentation you


made?
                     The features that are present in my slide presentation that I have
made are the transitions, effects, only one theme or design for the whole slide and
also pictures that help students visualize their thoughts or ideas.

                        My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I give
emphasis on the contents because they are the important points of my lesson.

1. 3.      Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made?

                         All those good features of a slide presentation that I have cited


are present in my slide presentation. I did not mention the sound effects and music,
for me it is not essential to use all the time because it brings distraction to my
discussion. There are times that music and sound effects are highly needed especially
in presenting a video presentation

Reflection

1. 1.      What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide


presentation? How did you overcome them?

Making power point presentation is very interesting to me because I can do most that
I wanted to do to make my slides a clear representation and as a tool of information
sources. So far, there were no difficulties that I have encountered because the
program has guides on how to use its features. If there is a certain feature which I
don’t know how to use, then I just simply click help or go to a website specifically the
Google to find the answer if there is an internet access.

Evaluation of the website
Strengths Weaknesses
           It allows the students to interact with real life
situation without danger, expense or difficulty often       It will be only weak if there is no
associated with real situations. The website has an internet access and if the content of that
easy access tool for learning. website cannot provide the needs and
interest of the students.
          It provides the needs and interest of students.

Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students, I must ensure first that
those topic and activities are consistent in my learning objectives. I must also give
proper instruction to the students before they search such websites by explaining to
them the learning goals to be achieved before searching any websites so that the
students will stay focused during the activity. When students get confused, I must
provide guidance and directions, guide questions and activities or scenarios. It is also
important to have a follow up discussions to make some generalizations for that topic.
            Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective. Upon
surfing on the internet, I saw many websites that have programs to make learning fun
and effective. Some of the websites have games and other has tutorial programs but
aside from those benefits, internet access may also be dangerous to the learners.
From the websites I visited, some of the learning is incorporated with violence games
and pornographic photos and videos which are not good influence to the students.
Using internet as an information tool is good and effective but proper supervision of
the teacher is highly needed and before giving the topic or any activity to be
searched, I must check first the websites and choose those that are safe for the
students.

Over All  Reflection

                               As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in my mind


that learners are rich in learning capabilities. The process of learning are highly
unique and individual, this means that in a classroom there are individual differences
that I must consider. I need to assist my future students to define and to make explicit
to themselves the approaches they ordinarily use so that they can become more
effective in problem solving and learning. I learned that one of the riches resources
for learning is the learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation of experiences,
ideas, feelings and attitude which comprise a rich vein of material for problem
solving and learning. I consider learners as the richest resources for learning
because they have their own aptitude  which are their innate talent or gift , interest
which express deep feelings for objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and
enjoyable, they also have their own ability which pictates the prospect of success in
any purposeful activity, attitude which is the learners perspective and disposition and
last their family or cultural background which is their socio-economic background.

                            I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal meaning


and relevance of ideas. As a future teacher, I will only facilitate my learners and they
are the one who will give the meaning of a concept. Just like for example, my topic is
all about the leaf of a plant. I will let them have field trip outside the classroom to
observe the leaf of a plant. I will guide them and I will demonstrate first and give
some information about the leaf and its parts after that, they will give their own
meaning or understanding about the leaf and its parts. Learning is gradual it’s
because it is by stages or levels so as a future teacher someday I must extend my
patience. 

                To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my work and
to my students, I must have also humor in a way that has connection to the topic, also
values and attitude, fairness, sincerity and honesty, and professionalism.
