Learning Episode 4
Learner Diversity: The Community and Home Environment
Learning Essentials:
1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of
layers of relationship systems that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are:
Microsystem – includes the structure such as one’s family, school and neighborhood
Mesosystem -the connection between the structures in the microsystem Exosystem –
the bigger social system which includes the city government, the workplace and the mass media
Macrosystem – Outermost layer which includes cultural values, customs and laws
Chronosystem – the element of time, patterns of stability and pacing of the child’s
everyday life.
The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner’s environment to
understand his behavior. The teacher’s important role is not to replace what is missing at home
(if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and nurtures
families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring
out the best in every learner.
Authoritarian. Parents are very 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.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither demanding nor responsive
to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or guidance.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have clear and reasonable
expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with respect and warmth. Make children
understand consequence of their behavior.
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Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile and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.

Learning Episode 4
Activity 4.1
To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps:
OBSERVE
Use the activity form provided for you to 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, overweight) 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 assignments and requirements, etc.)
Health:
1. Mother’s health during pregnancy with the learner: The mother during pregnancy is physically fit,
mentally fit, but not capable of giving birth in Normal delivery.
2. Alignment or health problems of the learner as a child: He never have chicken pox, measles, until now,
when he eats sweet and cold foods, he suffers tonsillitis, fever, cough, and a cold.
3. Age of the learner when he started to walk/talk: He began walking when he was one year old. And when
he was a year and six months old, he started talking.
4. Food preferences of the learner as a child and at present: He enjoys meat, frozen foods, and rice, and he
eats a lot of meals.
: Both parents and grandmother look after the child; despite the fact that they are both working, they
manage to provide the child attention and care, but the child is mostly in the care of her grandmother.
: Yes, He must go back home before 6pm and must not go to somewhere that parents don’t know.
Emotional-Moral
: Put himself in school and finish it, have a strong relationship with us, with God, respect his parents and
other people, and always be responsible.
: Providing him with the needs of life, such as food on the table, clean and presentable clothing, and a
warm, supportive, and loving environment.
3. Does your child go to you when she/he feels down or has a problem? What do you do to meet his/her
emotional needs?
: Encourage him to keep going by telling him, "Perhaps it wasn't meant for you, but there's always another
chance."
: I punish him by giving him a "full lecture," in which I explain that he has done something wrong and
must not repeat it.
: Cleaning the house, doing the dishes, going to bed early, and not playing mobile games on weekdays are
just a few of the rules.
: " One long day of full lectures, no mobile phone, no hang outs with friends, and one week of cleaning
task" will be the penalty for disobeying the rules.
: Cooking and Esports are two activities that the child enjoys.
: In Filipino, he's having problems, because he used to speak English as his medium of communication/
Mother tongue
4. How do you monitor his/her performance in school? How do you motivate him/her?
: Checking his notebooks, keeping an eye on him when he's at home doing his homework and other
activities, and asking how his day went
5. Do you have rules at home to help him develop good study habits?
: Yes, he won't be able to use his phone until he accomplishes his housework and schoolwork.
: No mobile phone/playing game until finishing his task, this is strictly implemented because I confiscated
his phone while working on his responsibilities
After you have gathered all the necessary data, write the learner’s development profile
using the outline below. Type the profile on a separate sheet and attached it to this learning
episode.
THE LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT PROFILE (OUTLINE)
Number of Siblings: 2
Parents:
Mother: Chona A. Manganti
Physical Development
: The child is obese, he is not healthy, but he is mentally strong. He is not active in school, preferring to stay
at home watching television or sleeping rather than participating in extracurricular activities. He can work
independently and has a high level of competitiveness.
Social Development
: The learner has a gregarious and friendly demeanor. He knows how to interact with his classmates and
teachers both inside and outside of school. He's an ambivert who enjoys socializing with people he knows
and even strangers, yet he'd rather not socialize at all at moments.
Emotional-Moral Development
: The child grows up with self-assurance and the confidence that his family will always be there for him. He
receives love, respect, and comfort from his family.
Cognitive Development
: He learns quickly; the child is a visual and auditory learner, and his cognitive abilities continue to improve
while he attends school and studies.
Findings
: The child is ambivert; he socializes but prefers to stay alone; he is academically active but uninterested in
extracurricular activities; and he knows how to interact effectively with his family, friends, teacher, and
strangers in his age group or older. He enjoys playing mobile games and is passionate about cooking, since he
always tries to prepare dishes that he enjoys. The current circumstance encourages the student to be more
independent and practice things on his own.
Conclusions
: I conclude that both the school environment and the home environment have a significant influence on the
development of a learner's cognitive abilities and personality. As a fact, learning begins at home, where children
acquire positive attitudes, values, and discipline. However, the school plays an important part in molding
students, as the school's only objective is to develop students' physical, social, emotional-moral, and cognitive
aspects as learners. Because they are the most significant person in a learner's life who holds information and
values to share with the learner, the whole development of a kid is dependent on school, teacher, parents, and
peers.
Recommendations
: Teachers, who are responsible for the cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual development of children,
should be more open and observant to their pupils' changing behavior. Aside from that, they should utilize the
most out of the technology in the classroom because it improves students' learning.
Parents should be more open with their children, connect with them, ask how their day went, ask about their
studies and habits, and encourage them to focus and study hard in order to be successful in the future. Finally,
parents must take responsibility for guiding and disciplining their children.
ANALYZE
Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile will help you
answer the questions here.
1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of parenting experienced by
the learner? Explain your answer.
: There is a rule that must be obeyed at home, and this was the most efficient way of
parenthood for the pupil. They always remind the child that if he wants to play outside or
on his phone, he must first complete his module and other activities. In addition, the
guardian aids her child with the module, particularly if the module is too difficult for the
learners to complete. Everything was explained to the child in detail by the parent, which
helped the child comprehend her responsibilities.
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?
: Today's learning was too difficult for the student, educator, and parents to handle. Rather
than just presenting the module or having online classes, it is preferable to have a face-to-
face session. There is a good chance that students will learn more in school than at home.
There isn't enough time to explain everything in the online class. However, with the help
of both teachers and parents, students will be able to adapt to the new educational system.
Parents' continuous support in encouraging students to attend online classes and stay
active in participating even when they are at home is one factor that affects the students'
learning situation. Aside from that, teachers' innovative ways of delivering lessons
through online and modular formats, as well as their student monitoring methods, are also
factors that contribute to the students' development.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If yes,
what are these effects?
: Yes, it has a significant impact. During the online class session, parents can monitor
their child's activity from the comfort of their own home. Unlike in the past, students are
not hesitant to seek assistance from adults.
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 tap to
seek advice regarding the development and learning of students?
: The only person who may ask about their child's performance was the parent. A good
working relationship with the teacher is essential. It is for the advantage of the academic
performance of the student.
REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you
experience? How did it affect you?
: I don't recall much from my childhood, but I do recall that my parents never
taught me to read, write, or perform arithmetic; instead, they always stated, "You
are the one studying that; you must know it on your own." As a result, I tried my
best to be self-sufficient and never asked them about my studies. They constantly
remind me of my responsibilities as a student, that I must finish it and obtain a
degree, and perhaps that is the driving force behind my decision to enroll in this
course; I was looking for more knowledge, teaching, learning, and guidance.
1. Make an artistic, colorful and creative visual expression of your insights or feelings about
the influence of the home and school and community to the learner. Then write a few
statements on the space below about your visual art.
2. Make a reflection acrostic about the home, school and community link
