Episode 4
Episode 4
Episode 4 provides an opportunity for you to have a more in –depth look into the
factors that affect the development of a learner. Focus will be on the early experiences and
characteristics of the learner as described by the family and other significant others. You will
also focus how the teacher links with the community to maximize the learning and
development of students.
describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the students’
learning:
seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parents/guardians and
the wider community (6.2.1); and
identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the family.
1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of
layers of relationship systms that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are:
Authoritarian. Parents are very fun firm with their children and expect unwavering and
unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met with
withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats.
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. May be
warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile and
aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are often
impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of independence
and responsibility.
Rejecting- Neglecting Parents: are found to be the least competent in their over-all
functioning and adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater ability to
show self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.
Activity 4.1
Observing the learner’s community and home environment
To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps:
1. Selecta learner from the class which you have previously observed.
2. Interview the teacher about the learner’s characteristics and the community.
3. Conduct a home to visit to your selected learner’s residence.
4. Interview the parents about
a. the rules they implemented at home concerning their child’s schooling.
b. the learner’s activities and behavior while at home.
5. Write the Learner’s Profile.
6. Analyze your observation and interview data.
7. Reflect on your observation experience.
OBSERVE
Use the activity form provided for you document your observations.
Read the following carefully before you begin to observe/interview. Then write your
observation report on the space provided.
The Learner
1. Make a general observation of the learner. Describe him/her in each of the domains of
development:
physical-body built and height (thin, chubby, underweight, over weight), level
of physical activity (fast, slow, lethargic, active, etc.)
social-interaction with teachers and classmates (loner, shy, sociable, friendly,
gets into fights, liked by others, etc.)
emotional moods, temperament, cries easily, loses temper, happy, shows
enthusiasm, excited, indifferent, etc.)
cognitive (appears to understand lessons, copes with the lessons, excels, lags
behind, shows reasoning skills, turns in assignment and requirements, etc.)
2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family
factors do you think contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the learner in
school?
The learner has proper guidance of her mother and the support of his siblings. One of the
factors that I think contributes to the development of the learner in school is that the strong
family-oriented life style because they feed their children with the value of respect and
freedom and they do not intend to let their children be isolated to other people. Although,
there is a restriction but still it is considered a good reason for having that.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If
yes, what are these effects?
Of course, it has. As we know our parents are our first teachers that are why if they taught
us very well, we will be able to cope up to the outside world we will be dealing with.
Because if we are not taught properly at home, we will not be able to understand the
essence of everything
4. How can the teacher partner with the community to contribute to the development
and learning of the students? Who are the people or which institutions can the teacher to
seek advice regarding the development and learning of students?
The teacher can have an agreement to the community sector such as public library and
museum to utilize the education by having the application exploration into these different
sectors of the community, so the learner is not limited to the theories and ideology of
learning but with application.
The teacher can tap the local government that concerns with education of the learners to
seek sponsorship for the tools and equipment regarding the development and learning of
the students.
REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you
experience?
How did it affect you? The kind of parenting that I had experience during my
elementary to high school is the same with my cousin. I have the freedom to explore
and learn things, but the difference is that I have to do it my own capability. My
auntie taught me once and after that I did it all by myself. Because of those
experiences, I learned things by my own ability and strength and it turned out to be
positive because I do not depend on them and I learned to be independent when it
comes to studying.
2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How
can you work well with the parents? How can you help them? How can they help
you? I would like to establish a good home-school collaboration by first getting to
know the background of the learner to their parents by having an interview. Through
interview, I will negotiate to have an agreement of sharing information about the
learner with both sides. In this way, we can help each other by giving them an update
about the status of their learner and they can help me by do not giving strict policy on
the child so we could have a clear connection.
