School: Jaguimit Elementary Schoool
Date of Home Visit: October 10, 2021
Date of Birth: January 22, 2012 Age: 9 Years old
Grade/Year Level: Grade 4 Gender: Female
Family Profile
Number of Siblings: 2 Birth Order: 1st
Parents’ Information
Mother’s Name: Ma. Guadalupe E. Largo Age: 39
Occupation: Housewife Educational Attainment: Highschool Level
Father’s Name: Giovannie L.Largo Age: 41
Occupation: Quality Control Educational Attainment: College Graduate
Physical Development
(In paragraph form, describe the physical development of the learner. Combine the parents’
responses and your own observations.)
The child is physically normal, healthy and without deficiency. The learner’s mother is healthy
during pregnancy. The child did not encountered any health problems, sickness, or ailment. She
started to walk at the age of 9 months and started to talk at the age of one. She is slow in
performing physical activities at home but she is able to accomplish the tasks or chores.
Social Development
(In paragraph form, describe the social development of the learner. Combine the parents’
responses and your own observations.)
The child seems to be shy to people whom she didn’t like but as for my observation she gets
along with children whom she feel accepted and appreciated. There are times that she isolates
herself to children her age. She played alone and at some point, she gets along with chosen
children or friends. She is allowed to go out with friends but reminded to not engage into
fighting. The child chooses friends to be with and to play with, if she is comfortable getting
along with the type of playmates that she likes, she would surely be playing with them.
Emotional-Moral Development
(In paragraph form, describe the emotional-moral development of the learner. Combine the
parents’ responses and your own observations.)
The child seems to be mean to children that are also mean to her. She is a type of child that is
very straightforward and is very observant. She speaks her mind, though she needs to have a
changed behavior. The child is not fond of saying problems to her parents, but the mother tries
to assess the situation and find solutions to it. The mother gives freedom to her child to grow as
a person, she considered failure as normal and she lets didn’t force the child to do something
that is not based on the interest of the child. The child is well-disciplined and practices self-
reliance. She can manage herself well guided with the established rules of her parents.
Cognitive Development
(In paragraph form, describe the cognitive development of the learner. Combine the parents’
responses and your own observations.)
When it comes to the cognitive aspect of the child, the child is into drawing but with proper
guidance, she may hone some unleashed skills within her. The child excels in class, she has good
grades and she enjoys reading stories in Filipino. Though she has difficulties in Math and
English, still she manages to be on top of her class. Her parent’s motivation and value in
studying well helps the child a lot in her cognitive development. The child is not pressured
when it comes to academics, she has freedom but well-reminded to not be too complacent
with her studies.
Findings
(Write here your salient findings about the learner.)
The learner is intelligent and is responsible in her own studies and actions. She just needs
balance between her cognitive and character development. The learner’s performance and
excellence in school may be rooted to the training at home and guidance of the parents. The
learner is socially capable but is tactful in choosing her circle, at a young age she already
practiced keenness and observation of people’s attitude. When it comes to emotional and
moral development, the child is well-disciplined and was brought up in a good manner, her
behavior is just a reflection of how others treated her.
Conclusions
(Write your conclusions after you have analyzed the impact of the school and the home on the
learner’s development. The questions in the YOUR ANALYSIS portion of this learning episode
can help you.)
Therefore, the school and home has something to do with the contribution and impact of the
child’s cognitive, affective, psychomotor and other domains of the child’s development. Both
home and school situations have great significance to the total attribution of a person. What is
learned positively by the child at home can be a potential catalyst of positive outcome in
school, and vice versa. What is acquired by the child in school also affects his totality as person
outside the school. Home and school goes hand in hand in molding the holistic development of
the child.
Recommendations (Write your recommendations.)
I do recommend that parents should not be too complacent when it comes to discipline. They
must be responsible enough in guiding their children; they should keep in touch with their
children’s whereabouts and situations but not to the extent of choking them with rules and
pressures, making them too rebellious. Parents should give constant encouragement for their
children to be better, intellectually and morally. Since children spent bigger amount of time
being in school, teachers should make sure that the time of the children is worthwhile. As much
as possible, know the learners and assess home situations, show them compassion and be
considerate. Teachers should make a good balance in molding the character and intellect of
their students.
Task 2. Your recommendations in the Learner Development Profile will help you answer the
questions here.
1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of parenting
experienced by the learner? Explain your answer.
The learner is experiencing an authoritative type of parenting style. The child’s mother
creates positive relationship, enforce rules and give consequences but also take the
feelings of the child into consideration. Based from the home visit and interview, the
learner has freedom of exploration but guided with the rules of the parents. Verbal
discipline in terms of disobedience is imposed. Corporal punishment may also be done
for extreme disobedience to established rules. The child’s mother knows what are the
interest of the child and is supported and open to nurturing other interests as well. The
child’s choice is approved by the parents as long as it is in accordance to the rules.

2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family factors
do you think contribute in the development and overall adjustment of the learner in
school?
Relating my data with what I learned from child development, home situation and
family factors contribute in the development of the child such as the positive attitude of
the parents towards education, parents who encourage academic success are more
likely to develop their own aspirations for higher education. Parent education is a good
predictor of a child’s academic success. Another factor is healthy family relationship,
when a child has close and involving relationships with their parents; she is more likely
to be less influenced with her peers. An authoritative parenting is of great help for a
child to be responsible and self-reliant. Overall, a good parenting style positively molds
all the domains of the child’s development which leads to holistic development.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If
yes, what are these effects?
Both parents and teachers should always keep the lines of communication open to
ensure the best outcomes for each student. Parents must be active in the process by
keeping teachers informed as well as seeking information about their child’s progress in
the classroom. Informing the teacher about the child’s difficulties may be a good step to
find the effective strategy for a child to learn. Becoming an active participant in the
student’s education is helpful in the child’s improvement. Parents should work in
partnership with the teacher for positive outcome. Adopting this good and collaborative
problem-solving style is way more helpful in bridging learning gaps. A good
 communication between the teacher and the student promotes progress, higher
achievement and increased completion of homework and better attendance.
Assessment:
 Make an artistic, colorful, and creative visual expression of your insights or feelings
about the influence of the home and school to the learner. Then write a few statements
on the space below about your visual art.

As they say, good education starts at home. You can’t blame the school for not
putting into your child what you don’t put into him. The child’s performance is a
 reflection of what she has learned at home. Basically, that reflects the parenting style
and motivation of the parents. Teachers as well play a crucial role in nurturing the
domains of the learner, they find solutions to learning gaps and provide strategies for
students to learn effectively. When both teachers and parents work hand in hand, the
child’s educational success as well as the overall development is an assurance. A well-
established parent and teacher collaboration improves the child’s academic
achievement, social competencies and emotional well-being.

 The individual output will be shared to the group.

 Group leader/ representative from the group will present their unified output to the
class virtually.
 To rate the output of this task, rubrics is provided (same rubric with Episode 1).
