ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the
learning of the students going to school? What are your conclusions?
- Nowadays, students will enroll themselves to a school which is very
known. This is because they see that the surrounding and
background of the school is good. Everything that surrounds a child
will give a big impact to their learning. That’s why the school campus
and the classroom should be conducive to learning. The materials.
Offices, and other facilities should be in well- maintained because
that can affect them.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent
development/ How does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating
learning?
- Everyday a child develops something, it could be through his
experience or being taught to him/her. Learning environment is when
teaching and learning can take place in the most effective manner. I
learned that as a teacher, we need to ensure the safetyness of the
student, create good learning environment that is conducive to
learning.

7. Think about what you got your attention. Why did it get your
attention?
- The bulletin board that really get my attention was the calendar
bulletin. Out of the school that I have been through, CCSA is only
the one who did like that. I like the way how they organized it, and
students can know the upcoming events of the school for the
whole year. It catches my attention because as I entered the
school, the first thing that I saw was the calendar bulletin.

first thing that I notice was the calendar bulletin because it is just beside
the cashier’s office. Also, bulletin can easily be seen around the school,
they are organized. I think they need to develop their creativity in
designing their bulletin board. Based on my observation, there are 3

1. Find out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender,
racial groups, religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
- The number of students in elementary is 11. 7 girls and 4 boys. They are in
grade 3 level, and most of them ages 8- 9. About their religion, the teacher said
that they are open for all religions that’s why in praying they don’t do sign of the
cross because they know that not all students are catholic.
During class:
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the
students interact with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups
that interact more with the teacher than others.
- With regards about their interaction inside the class, the students are all active
and smart in answering questions.
2. Observe the learner seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do
they behave and interact differently?
- Yes, which is opposite from what I observe in public schools. Students at the
back are so silent, like they just want to be alone, but the student in front
apparently wants to be noticed all the time.
3. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for
most help?
- There are 2 students who are so competitive in class. For instance, they are
asked to write and then one of them should be done first. Also, the girl in front
is competitive as well and actively participate in class. I cannot really see the
student who ask for most help because all of them as I observed are all active
and smart.
Outside class:
1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogenously,
by age? By gender? By racial or ethnic groups? By interests? Or are the
students in mixed social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
- In elementary and pre- school, they want to bond with each other no matter

OBSERVATION REPORT
Name of the School Observed: Davao Wisdom Academy
School Address: Torres Street, Poblacion, Davao City
Date of Visit: September 20,2022
The school is indeed conducive to learning as well as the classroom. The area of the
school is not big, but as I observe that students are given quality of education. I am
amazed by the students there and the vision, mission and goals of the school. I was
assigned in the elementary level. The first thing that I have observed is the activeness
of the student during their discussion. Also, the teacher is very hands on the student,
like she always observes what the student’s doing, if they’re still writing or listening. At
the very young age, elementary students knows how to use pencil correctly and can
able to identify objects, problem- solving.
I also observe that there are student who are introvert, they are sitting at the back. I
noticed it as they’re having their recess break. All of her classmates are talking and
playing each other, but she’s just sitting in her chair throughout the break. I also see
competitive students. During our observation, there are two students who are
competitive in elementary. For instance, when a teacher asks them about the lesson,
she must be the first person who’ll answer that question. There are also students that
is very competitive in writing.
After the observation, I realized that being a teacher needs to be flexible and know
the needs of our student. We need to know how we will engage them with our lesson,
we must be able to know their interest and capacities.

ANALYZE
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationship and interactions
in the classroom. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears
to be the leader, a mascot/joker, an attention seeker, a little teacher, a
doubter/pessimist?
- In elementary, I can say that most of the students are attention seeker, like they
really want to be entertained by their teacher from time to time. In high school,
there’s one student who is joker which makes the classroom fun and enjoy.
2. Is there anyone you observed who appear left out? Are students who
appear different? Why do they appear different? Are they accepted or
rejected y the others? How is this shown?
- Yes, there’s one student at the back appear different, in a fact that she just
wanted to be alone. When the teacher asks them to answer the question given
on the board, she’s just silent while her classmates are actively participating.
Although, she’s different from other student, yet she’s still accepted and not
rejected by others because I can see that her classmates still coming to her to
talk.
What does the teacher do to address issues like this?
- The teacher always monitor the student. Since they are just few, a teacher can
be able to look for all of them. Also, by giving them equal treatment, so that the
child will never feel that they’re different from others.
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the
individual differences of students?
- The teacher understands why there are student who appear different from the
class because the students are still adjusting from the normal classroom. Since
for the past 2 years, we are experiencing pandemic, its different from regular
class. The teacher’s strategy is to engage them with lesson that they can interact
with each other.
4. What strategies does the teacher use to minimize the benefits of diversity
in the classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?
- According to the teacher, when she was still having her training, she noticed the
students with special needs and the diversity of learners. First thing she do was
to talk to the parents regarding on their child on how he/she at home, what other
behavior they have. Through this, the teacher will understand how a student
behave in a class and what method/ activities will she do to get the attention of
the student.

1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness
or unity among the learners and between the teachers?
- Yes, there is unity among learner and teacher. Although there are students who
are left out, but others are so active specially during discussion, they always pay
attention. However, there are student appear left out, the teacher has also
strategy on this. As we begin observing the class, I really felt happy seeing those
students who actively and excited to the lesson.

45
OBSERVATION REPORT
We’re not able to visit a school for SPED, what I’m doing was to search on
YouTube. Teaching special education is really tough specially if the teacher is
not strong enough to teach and engage with student with different abilities. As I
have observed in the video, the strategy of the teacher is always repeat what
she’s just saying. The students are determined to learn despite of their
condition, they are eager to listen and participate to the discussion of the
teacher. We cannot deny the fact that there are student who are not performing
well in the class, the teacher’s strategy is to call them to answer the question to
get his/her attention.
If we compare the regular students and those with special needs, I think for me,
it’s easier to teach the student in regular because we just need to know what’s
lacking on them, how we can help them on their behavior and etc. But, in
students with special needs, we need to know them specially in their difficulties,
we may use differentiated instruction, so that we would know interest in learning,
how they can learn easily and most specially how we can handle them despite
their differences.

1. Recall the time when you were in elementary or high school. Recall the
high school and low achievers in your class. How did your teacher deal
with differences in abilities? Was your teacher effective?
- When I was in grade 5, I have a lot of classmates who cannot read yet. My
teacher did a remedial class for them. We are divided into groups who are good
in spelling and reading, so that we can help those students. It is very effective for
me, because aside from we are teaching spelling and reading, we are also
learning from them. The teacher always corrects us specially on the
pronunciation of the words.
2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to meet
the needs of the learners?
As a future teacher, these are the following dispositions and traits to response to
my learner’s needs:
Effective communication and active listener to the student.
Before I proceed to my discussion, I should have a goal at the end of my
class.
46
47
Give time and effort to student, and understand the diversity of learners.
OBSERVATION REPORT
The totality of student in that school is 242 in elementary, and 60 in high school. Since
we are still adjusting in pandemic, every classroom should have atleast 20 students
only. This is to follow the protocols of the government. Currently, they are still in the
process of developing the classroom as well as the surroundings. Although the
teachers are having a hard time on adjusting the students there, yet, they are
determined to teach those students despite the diversity of each learner. I am also
happy to see that the students are eager to learn, they are active listeners and very
attentive during discussion and activities.
The challenge in this curriculum is that I can really say that it is not yet conducive to
learning because there are lots of things that needs to improve specially on the
equipment and facilities. These are the things that can help indigenous students on
their needs.

50
What do you think can still be done to promote and uphold the indigenous
peoples knowledge systems and practices and rights in schools?
- I think to promote and uphold the indigenous people knowledge is to have their
own curriculum which helps them to enhance their culture and tradition. Also,
there should be teachers that can teach even though they’re living in the
mountain. Most of the indigenous people are living in a rural, and so a teacher
must be determined to teach them.
REFLECT
Reflect based on your actual visit or videos that you watched.
2. What did you appreciate most from your experiences in visiting the school
with indigenous learners? Why?
3. For indigenous learners, as a future teacher, I promise these three things:
3.1. Be open to and respect indigenous people by accepting who they are
and learn to love their cultures.
3.2. Uphold and celebrate their culture, beliefs and practices by making a
special event in the school that will help them realize that we value
their culture.
