application of your assigned theory to learning that will prove or disprove the discussion presented
in your assigned topic). Make sure that your individually chosen journal studies should be different
from each one. Compare notes so that you will avoid having similar journal studies.

This is where you report the summary of the two journals you submitted. Summarize the
important points of the journal and how the findings of these studies support the relevance or
contradict ideas of the theory’s application to learning. Make proper citations in making your
summary (ex. Dela Zerna (2020) suggested that … or According to Dela Zerna (2020), the
practice of …. ). Do not put any of your opinion here. State only the FACTS as indicated in the

(general statements) by highlighting its principles, proponents, purpose, importance and the
reason why you should consider these in planning learning activities for your future students.
Summarize the important points of your assigned topic by highlighting on its application to
learning.

Significant Findings
This is where your group report consolidates the summary of all journals (10 overall for groups
of 5, 12 for the groups of 6) your group members submitted. Summarize similar and different
important points of the journal together and how the findings of studies (in the journals) support
the relevance or contradict ideas in their application to learning. Make proper citations in making
your summary (ex. Dela Zerna (2020) suggested that … or According to Dela Zerna (2020), the
practice …. ). Do not put any of your opinion here. State only the FACTS as indicated in the
studies that appeared in the journals.

Conclusion
Here, you consolidate the individual conclusions on the basis of the findings indicated in the
journal to appear as one common group thought. Indicate what each one learned (or
collectively) from the studies in the journal that help you understand the assigned topic better
and your insights (how relevant it is to you as a future teacher) and learning theories that can
fully support students’ learning and performance. Consolidate also on how each one (or
