On module 7, the topic was all about the challenges
of multigrade teaching which was being delivered by our
virtual teacher, Ma’am Jeddah last October 11, 2022. In
this module, I was able to identify the different challenges
that a multigrade teacher might face once he/she will be
assigned to handle a multigrade class. I have seen here
that there are really lots of challenges that we might be
face, whether in regular or multigrade setting, we can’t
deny the fact that these challenges will occur.
It was such an amazing experience that I was able to
attend the virtual classes conducted by the assigned
virtual teacher for the week. Within those days, I was
able to gain knowledge and additional information about
multigrade teaching. I’ve been wondering about the idea
of facing challenges in multigrade teaching. Knowing the
fact that a teacher is assigned to a far-flung area, there is
really no control when it come to these challenges.
Even though I don’t have a personal experience when
it comes to being in a multigrade class, I still have
experienced the idea of being in a class having no enough
or insufficient number of materials for the teacher and the
pupils. I have felt the difficulty because we need to wait
for the first batch of pupils to finish answering and using
the said material before we can use it. With this kind of
set-up, I have seen that as the situation continues, there
are more challenges or issues that occur such as having
the teacher being stressed on how to handle the class.
gave you further insight on
this topic. Moreover, I am still proud that I was able to
experience that kind of situation in the past because now,
that I am going to be a teacher soon and now that I have
learned a lot about the challenges of multigrade teaching,
I am more motivated and willing to still pursue my first
dream, and that is to teach.

Reflection Being a teacher, it really requires a lot of efforts and

patience to the situation you are going in. It is truly a

realization/thoughts you had really challenges that we might face in the future, and
after the activity, and any that day, I was able to asked myself if I am ready to
additional personal insights conquer the field and overcome these challenges. But I
know that I can do all these things, and I am confident
that once I become a teacher, I will be equipped with
knowledge and skills and be able to face the tasks given
to me. And by that, I should possess the qualities and
characteristic in becoming an effective multigrade
teacher. As a future educator, I should reach my goal,
with all my best, and that is to serve and provide the
knowledge and skills that my pupils need to become
lifelong learners.

Lastly, I would like to share that the most important

thing that I have learned from this discussion or module is
that even though we are going to face challenges in
future, as a future educator, I believe that we should be
ready with those challenges and always keep in mind that
whatever challenge it is, we will not surrender on the idea
of giving quality education for the next generations.
 Action
Present a plan of action
(what will you do next?) for
your reflection after your
introspection and cognitive
understanding of the
experience (positive or
negative), explain your
answer and then suggest
what concrete steps of any
impact to change and
transform one’s self and/or
others.
From the module that we tackled this week, I really
learned a lot of things which I know that will help me in
becoming an effective teacher in the future. I felt so
happy being able to gain knowledge about the challenges
of multigrade teaching. Rest assured that all the things
that I have learned will be useful and applied in the near
future. And also, I will share these knowledge or learnings
to my fellow future educators because I believe that we
will surely benefit from it.
One concrete step that I will do is to focus on my
studies, as I am near to my dream profession, I need to
still do my best to gain more knowledge and skills to be
able to apply it in my future career. I will surely attend
seminars and trainings that would definitely help in
developing my knowledge and skills as a teacher or a
multigrade teacher. With this, I believe that I can
overcome the challenges that I might face.
