About the cover

21st century learners and the skills, knowledge and


understandings they require. Yet we appear to talk less
about the qualities of the teachers. Should teachers
have 21st century mindsets, be lifelong learners,
adventurous, innovative and imaginative. It does seem
that the focus has shifted to the student and the teacher
has become a little forgotten

About the Author

Hi, I
am
Mylin D.
Isidro, I am
taking up

Bachelor of Secondary Education majoring in TLE (Technology and Livelihood education) and at
Third Year level of this academic year 2019-2020 in Capiz State University.

There a lot of things that I learned in conducting my Field Study and it is really memorable and
worth it because it helps me and teach me a lesson that I can use when I become a Teacher. As a
teacher we need a patience, perseverance, and dedication so that we can achieve our goals to teach
students and allow them to learn in school and also grow in a good manner.

Becoming a teacher is not easy because some teacher takes risks and dangers in way to school.
Some teacher climbs on the mountains in order to bring learning in the school and let the
children/pupils learned.

These things that I learned in conducting my field study would help me to develop and achieve
my goals that will guide me to become a successful teacher someday.

About the Portfolio

Page | 4 of Isidro Mylin’s Field Study 6 Guide


In my field study, I have learned so many things that can help to achieve my goals. I have
learned that becoming a teacher is not easy because you need patience to teach the students properly.
As I observed in conducting my field study, I learned that high school life is the best time to grow and
developed our capabilities like talents and skills.

I learned how spend my time properly because in my field study 3 travels 10 minutes in order to
reach my cooperating school and conduct my field study properly. I learned how to spend my money
properly, each time I went to my cooperating school I spend money so that we need to budget our
money in order

for me to conduct my field study 6.

I learned how to observe the students and my cooperating teacher. As I observed, my


cooperating is calm and she handled her students with dedication and effort that she can teach her
students well and let the children grow as life goes on. These things will help me and guide me to
achieve my dreams.
