 INTRODUCTION

Being an educator in a short period of time was a wonderful experience. Every pre-

service teacher will be motivated to move forward to continue the path they are taking.

Seeing the students enjoy and learn from you will always be the best feeling that a teacher

can perceive. Appreciating you in all means is more than enough inspiration to continue

the determination in teaching.

This portfolio contains the documentation of all the activities that happened during

my student teaching period in Dalig National High School, Antipolo City. This includes a

brief background and description of the school and the Cooperating Teacher, Philosophy

of Teaching, Professional Readings and a roadmap to become LPT.

Important documents like sample Lesson Exemplar, 4 A’s Lesson Plan and sample

of School Forms were also included.

This also contains reflections on the classroom observations, local and final demo,

and other significant experiences during the student teaching period.

 THE COOPERATING SCHOOL

In the year 2010, the population of San Jose National High School increased to

6772. Out of this big number of students who were enrolled, 28.61 of it came from

Barangay Dalig. There is really a need to establish a secondary school in Barangay Dalig.

In the year 2011, Dalig Extension was established as the extension school of San Jose

National High School. It is situated in the national road of Barangay Dalig with an initial

enrolment of 320 students who stayed first in SJNHS for 5 months while Dalig Extension

is preparing for its occupancy and operation on the third quarter of SY 2011- 2012.

Mr. Rodolfo M. Gonzales became the school’s teacher-in-charge in November

2011 with 7 pioneer teachers. For its second year of operation, the population was tripled

to 930 with 17 teachers. In 2013-2014, the school is offering technical-vocational

education. The implementation was approved in April 2013. The school is hoping for its

independency this year 2015. At present we have 48 teaching personnels and 5 non-

teaching personnels. And the school have 1500 students. During the administration of the

school head, DEPED Building and Technical Vocational buildings were constructed. The

implementation of technical-vocational education was approved in April 2013. The school

is hoping for its independence and it was in 2015.

 For this school year 2016-2017, the population is 1994 including the senior high

school students under administration of the new school head Dr. Arnel T. Buena. With his

initiative, hard work and determination, Dalig National High School continuous to progress

and develop scientifically its facilities and physical environment.

Dr. Arnel Buena served as school head of Dalig NHS from 2016 to August 2017,

Mr. Rizalvy S. Pineda became the office-in-charge of Dalig NHS from August 2017 to July

2018. Mr. Pineda lead the school giving emphasis on values formation and character

development of students and all employees of the institution.

In July 5, 2018, Mrs. Maricel A. Cruz was designated as the new OIC of Dalig NHS.

She was a fresh passer of the principals’ test in 2017. Through a greenhorn in the field of

school management and administration, she in definitely a competent and efficient leader

for she is a department coordinator in Mathematics for 16 years. The school is looking

forward to work with a female leader, considering that she is the first female school head

of DNHS for about 7 years.

Dalig National High School is always ready for new leadership and management.

In August 2019, another leader was destined to be a part of DNHS Family. Mr. Henry M.

Lico was a former school head of secondary schools in Division of Rizal and San Roque

National High School from DepEd Antipolo. He is a musician, kind-hearted and people

will see in him a father-figure. With power, authority and strength, one can identify his

kind, generous and compassionate heart. He creates boundaries, consider the best

interest of teachers and instills the sense of character development among teachers. With

92 teaching personnel, indeed, Dalig NHS has father figure role to respect and love in the

workplace.

 PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING
Education has a big significance in building an individual. The learning and

development of the students should be the main focus of an educator which will result in

a finer acquisition of the necessary skills that they will utilize to achieve their goals.

Education is an inevitable demand to have a better life, world, and dreams, so it must

have been achieved properly.

In order to achieve this, I should encourage mastery, competency, critical thinking,

and, transformational and life-long learning inside the classroom. The values and beliefs

should also be realized in classroom activities for them to have guidance not just only

academically, but also in their attitudes.

Teachers must also pay attention to their students equally. We should learn how

to divide our attention to the whole class without imparting biases.

It is indeed that education has an impact on a person’s individuality, thus, it also

includes the process of teaching. How a teacher teaches using his own strategies and

methodologies affects the quality of education they are giving.

 REFLECTION ON THE CLASS OBSERVATIONS

The art of questioning. The first thing I noticed about the two classroom

observations I had. This is very important for utilizing higher-order questioning without the

confusion and difficulties for the students. Every teacher must know that the motivation

for the students to learn will never be sustained by asking a simple question all the time.

A teacher must know how to craft a question that will lead to the direct learning of the

students, and know how to make it easier for them to analyze and understand the

questions give.

This also taught me strategies and techniques in teaching that you must apply to

have an interactive and informative discussion, especially during online classroom set-

up. Students will be more engage if there are visual and auditory instructional materials.

My cooperating teacher, Mr. Andal used a PowerPoint Presentation, online videos and

visual presentations during the observations.

 REFLECTION ON THE LOCAL DEMONSTRATION

Group activities promotes cooperative learning skills, which is very important

especially in real-life situations. It allows a student to learn how to socialize, share, and

recognize the opinions of other people. One of the challenges on the online class modality

is to how you conduct an effective and time-bounded online group activities. The first time

I tried this takes a lot of time to accomplish the activity. I made some modifications in the

activity especially on the template, so that it will be easier for the students to answer the

activity.

It is also very important to enjoy the process of the teaching. The students will feel

if a teacher is really compassionate and willingly teaches the students.

 REFLECTION ON THE FINAL DEMONSTRATION

Having the chance to teach using the online modality is a great chance to enhance

the capability of a teacher to utilize the devices into the maximum extent. During my class,

I had experienced a technical difficulty on the early part of my discussion. The audio was

delayed resulting to the confusion in my students, but with the help of my Cooperating

Teacher, Science Department Chairperson, and one science teacher, we managed to

solve the problem immediately. I learned that having multiple plans on how you conduct

and deliver the lesson ahead of time before teaching is very essential. An educator should

not let the difficulties disrupt the composure in teaching.

The connection between a teacher and the students is also very important. An

effective teacher should know how to create a positive and genuine classroom

environment to a more conducive learning.

REFLECTION ON THE OVERALL EXPERIENCES IN STUDENT TEACHING JOURNEY

It is indeed that online classes are prone to technical issues. I proved that on the

very first day of my teaching experience as a student-teacher. I had a technical issue right

after I let my students watch a video from an online platform. After almost half an hour,

my laptop’s still not responding right. I really felt down and disappointed that time. All my

excitement and nervousness disappeared. Looking on the positive side, I learned that

having multiple plans on the instructional materials are very important, especially in an

online modality where technical difficulties may always happen. A teacher must always

be ready if one or two of his/her strategies are not working, it is needed to have other sets

of the plan so that the discussion will continue if ever a problem occurs.

Every time I teach in the class, the number of students who attend is always few.

After you have prepared your instructional materials and plans, you will only just teach

them to a few students. It’s quite discouraging in the first place, honestly. But, when you

also appreciate the effort of those students who attended, you will also find your

determination and strength to teach. After the second day, I realized that it was a mistake

to think that way. A teacher should always be one of the sources of the motivation and

willingness of the students to learn and participate, so it must come first to the teacher. A

teacher should always be willing and motivated to teach regardless of the attitude and

number of the students in the class.

 PROFESSIONAL READINGS

ONLINE DISTANCE LEARNING

Are learners really ready for the “new normal?” The advent of the COVID-19

pandemic has changed our educational landscape, forcing schools to abruptly shift to

online classes in lieu of face-to-face classroom set up. In the Philippines, the Covid-19

crisis has affected about 27 million learners, 1 million teachers and non-teaching staff, as

well as the families of learners (Obana, J. 2020). As the world continues to grapple with

the effects of this infectious and deadly disease – destabilizing economy and claiming

many lives – transitioning to distance learning is the most viable alternative so far (Alipio,

2020; Baticulon, Alberto, Baron, Mabulay, Rizada, Sy, Tiu, Clarion & Reyes, 2020). The

current situation poses great challenges to educational institutions not only in the

Philippines, but throughout the world. The restrictions and community quarantine imposed

on many areas particularly in the country have left students with little choice but to attend

online classes. In order for learners to continue education, the Department of Education

(DepEd) and other institutions have implemented online distance learning. Online

Distance Learning features the teacher as a facilitator, engaging learner’s active

participation through the use of various technologies accessed through the internet while

they are geographically remote from each other during instruction (Llego, 2020). Before

the implementation, DepEd has been bombarded with criticisms, with some throwing back

the question on whether DepEd and other educational institutions are really prepared for

the current situation. Despite all the criticisms, these institutions were confident that

Online Distance Learning will work in the Philippines. According to an education official,
 about 93 percent of public schools nationwide already have devices that will be used in

the online learning modality for the school year 2020-20121 (Hernando-Malipot,2020).

VIRTUAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

The emergence of virtual classrooms brought challenges and opportunities for

students and faculty. Previously, the teaching and learning process was carried out by

holding meetings directly with the classroom as a platform. With virtual classrooms,

physical classes that were previously a place for teaching and learning are transformed

into online classes that bring together teachers and students. Teachers will certainly

experience difficulties in carrying out the teaching and learning process. The virtual class

itself has its advantages and disadvantages. The use of virtual classrooms is very useful

in a pandemic nowadays where virtual classes of students and lecturers no longer have

to gather in a room that has a greater risk of spreading the virus. Meanwhile, virtual

classrooms also have a tremendous impact on the learning-teaching process, for

example, many students feel that the teaching and learning process carried out in virtual

classes are quite difficult to understand, especially when you want to clarify a material,

many combined voices result in students find it is difficult to concentrate and capture the

material presented by the lecturer. Reviewing the existing problems, it can be said that

during the COVID 19 pandemic, virtual classes have indeed become a matter that

deserves attention in the teaching, and the learning process itself. Because all of this can
affect the perspective of how to learn and how the material can be conveyed. That is why

good virtual classroom management is needed so that classrooms can be well and

systematically implemented. One option that can be done to compensate for this situation

is to paying attention to applied class management. Class management itself takes a very

important role in the ongoing teaching and learning process. Good classroom behavior is

one of the most important characteristics, and a vital aspect of effective classroom

management (Kelly., 2006). One of the biggest challenges for lecturers is the challenge

of running the class. Especially in a pandemic situation, where lecturers must run virtual

classes. The lecturers' preparation of appropriate subjects, effective use of time, and the

amount of time required by students are directly related to virtual management classes.

When it comes to virtual management classes, some skills are also difficult to teach.

namely, speaking skills. That’s because there are differences between the concern in

teaching speaking and the abilities of the student. Based on that, there are some students

who need support. Fun and interactive classroom environment must be fulfilled while still

maintaining discipline in the class are the challenges.

Comments/Suggestions:
In less than a month, I can say that the student-teacher has acquired and developed sufficient
knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are adaptable to the teaching and learning process in this
type of learning setup. Mastery of the subject matter and integration of the lesson across
curriculum areas were very evident. In fact, she has a gift that can establish meaningful
connections with her students despite the technical limitations encountered. She is also very
open to accepting comments and suggestions which you can be able to observe that she follows
and executes the next day. It is a clear indication that she is flexible and at the same time
adaptive to this type of learning modality and with that mindset I can say that she can do it also
in a Face-to-face set-up. Ma’am Syrille, you are now ready to face the real world of teaching.
Congratulations! Keep it up!

Comments/Suggestions:
The student-teacher demonstrated excellence in teaching the lesson despite having
some audio problems. She also showed off positive strategies that sustained students to focus
and develop a healthy learning culture on their online class. From the start to finish, all students
are actively participating. She influenced students to study lessons all the time in any form or
modalities that we have right now.
Lastly, she is a leader, which I define as someone who can work successfully with
different kinds of people or students in various capacities. She possesses leadership traits that
come from a desire to improve her own competence and character, which she also passes on
to the people with whom she interacts daily. She is also ready to accept any challenge that can
boost her abilities and capabilities as a millennial teacher. Based on my observations of her
performance, I believe that she has the potential to be a dedicated and effective teacher in the
near future. Ma'am SYRILLE MAE D. LOZANO, I am pretty sure that you will succeed on the
path that you have chosen.
Congratulations for a job well done! Looking forward for another success in your future
endeavors. Padayon!

Comments/Suggestions:
In the classroom, the student-teacher demonstrated confidence and leadership. She
developed a great rapport with the students and provided them with a variety of engaging
learning opportunities, even in this kind of situation. It provides a well-organized learning
environment. She also taught students a desire to study and had a favorable impact on their
academic performance. Her interaction with students, in which she made learning more
enjoyable and explained everything, was just outstanding. I believe that she has the potential
to be a committed and competent teacher in the near future. Ma'am SYRILLE MAE D. LOZANO,
I am pretty sure that you will succeed on the path that you have chosen.
Congratulations for a job well done! Looking forward for another success in your future
endeavors. God Bless!

II. ABSTRACT

The goal of this action research is to improve the participation in Grade 10 science

online class of Angono National High School by the use of an alternative learning platform.

From the selected 30 students of Grade 10 in the section Alexandrite, Amber, Amethyst,

the study revealed that all of them (100%) are experiencing problems such as internet

connection of the teacher (23.33%), their internet connection (53.33%), some errands

they need to do in their house (10%), lagging (10%) and no gadgets or devices (3.33%).

56.67% of them are not also complying on the online activities completely due to these

problems. This also revealed that 100% of the students can access the Padlet application,

and 90% of them who used the Padlet application helps them with the class discussion,

exercises and to access the resource links conveniently. By this, the researchers

proposed the use of the Padlet application as an alternative learning platform for students

with slow internet connection to help the students to cope up with the online discussion,

exercises and resource links used in the lesson.

III. CONTEXT AND RATIONALE

The introduction of the new normal brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has

resulted in the massive alterations in the instructional processes of the educational sector.

It has been two years since we had the face-to-face learning modality. One of the most

possible ways to pursue quality education is through online learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected education, and teacher education in

particular, in various ways. As a result of the closure of universities and schools, teachers

and students had to rapidly adapt to remote teaching. Teacher education is no exception.

The need to create learning environments for student teachers doing their teacher

education preparation implied decisions, choices and adaptations in order to meet not

only the expectations of students but also the requirements of teacher education as well

as the conditions in which both universities and schools had to operate (Flores and Gago

2020).

The pandemic has provoked changes in the educational process and has affected

the communicative interaction of students and teachers, students and teachers; as a

result, educational institutions secure their activities through the Internet (Sobaih,

Hasanein, Abu Elnasr, 2020).

As stipulated in DepEd Order no. 31 s. 2020, teachers and parents must adapt to

the alternative learning modalities to ensure that students will achieve the most essential

learning competencies, and content standards. This will require creative and innovative

approaches in designing teaching strategies and assessing learning progress to achieve

the learning outcomes effectively under these situations.

 Kapasia et al. (2020) investigated how lockdown impacts students’ learning

performance. Their findings revealed that the lockdown made significant disruptions in

students’ learning experience. The students also reported some challenges that they

faced during their online classes. These include anxiety, depression, poor Internet

service, and unfavorable home learning environments, which are aggravated when

students are marginalized and from remote areas.

The study formulated different notions for online education in developing countries.

It includes maintaining a slow voice and practicing vocal functions by teachers.

Furthermore, sharing resources before the class will help in creating interactive online

classes. These strategies play a fundamental role in enhancing student learning. The

study suggested that the Higher Education Commission should make collaborations with

telecommunication industries. This will help in overcoming Internet-related issues

(McMurtry, 2016).

The Open educational resources (OER), pre-recorded lectures, podcasts, and

"online-first" textbooks are presented as appropriate and cost-conscious content options.

(Mcgrath and Navarro, 2021).

The researchers agreed upon the focusing of the study in the Grade 10 students

of Angono National High School. The Project O.R.D.E.R. will help the students who

struggle with the online modality with limited internet connectivity to (catch up) on the

online discussion every class.

IV. ACTION RESEARCH QUESTIONS

This action research sought to document the use of the Padlet application as an

alternative learning platform for students with slow internet connection in Angono National

High School in teaching Science for selected Grade 10 sections.

Specifically, this study sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of participation of the students in the online classes?

2. Does the alternative learning platform for students with slow internet connection

help the students with regards to the discussion and activities?

3. Based on the findings of the research, what action plan can be formulated to

improve Science performance?

V. PROPOSED INNOVATION INTERVENTION, AND STRATEGY

PROJECT O.R.D.E.R

This educational creative online compilation application such as “Padlet” as

illustrated in Figure 1 that helps the students to ensure that they are caught up with the

lessons. Students who are struggling with the synchronous classes will be given a link

after the class to access the compilation material application.

PROJECT O.R.D.E.R. is the name of this material since it consists of five

acronyms; O is for Objectives, R is for Review, D is for Discussion, E is for Exercise and
Figure 1: Creative Online Compilation (Padlet) (https://padlet.com/lozanosyrillemaed/d2gc50ubwjp2atm9)

R is for Resource Links that students can access. This compilation can serve as a lesson

guide even if they are struggling with synchronous sessions because of various means.

The link was provided by the teacher and forward it to the students so that they can

interact with the application.

Padlet (www.padlet.com) is a free multimedia wall that allows real-time interaction

both among students and between the students and the teacher and that facilitates whole-

class participation (Fuchs, 2014). An increasing number of teachers during recent years

have recognized that Padlet is a useful tool to improve collaborative learning. Some of its

advantages are: a) easy to use, b) instant collaboration (any student can see when

anyone else is uploading something in the wall), c) multimedia (almost everything can be

placed on the Padlet) and d) mobile (it can work on many different devices) (Zhi and Su,

2015).
VI. ACTION RESEARCH METHODS

a. Participants and/or other Sources of Data

The researchers used the purposive sampling design where 30 students

from the sections Amethyst, Alexandrite and Amber of Grade 10 students of

Angono National High School were selected.

Table 1
The Participants of the Research

Grade and Section No. of Participants

Grade 10 Alexandrite 10

Grade 10 Amber 10

Grade 10 Amethyst 10

This research employed a quantitative - descriptive method since the aim

of the researchers is to determine the effectiveness of the Padlet application on

the students' level of participation.

b. Data Gathering Methods

The study centers on the difference between the level of participation with

and without the use of the Padlet application in an online class. A quasi-

experimental method of investigation was used in this study. It is to explore

whether the Padlet application in teaching Science contributes to the improvement

of the level of participation in science class.

VII. DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

This part includes the discussion of results and reflection of the study. The data

presented in this part follows the arrangement of the problems as set in the Action
