D. TEACHER’S SELF- REFLECTION ON THE SESSION

The training was conducted successfully according to the session plan. The trainees mentioned that they were
able to follow the activities using the CBLM although they said the learning materials are not sufficient. Out of
the 20 trainees, 3 did not pass the institutional assessment and were asked to go back to the last LO for
review. The rest moved on to the next module. The learning contents are given for each of the Learning
Outcome. The trainees are given instruction for their presentation, like reading of the information sheets, doing
the self-checks and comparing answers to answer key. They are also provided with the tools in undergoing
their sessions such as the CBLM, the tools, materials and equipment based on the training regulations and the
competency-based curriculum. This session plan shall be useful primarily to the Trainers and the Trainees. It
shall also be helpful to other future trainees and researchers on the same competency. Other teachers may use
this and may make improvements for the benefit of future users.
