FS 1 9
OBSERVE, ANALYZE AND REFLECT

OBSERVATION REPORT
. Observe a class with the use of the principles of learning given in Revisit the Learning
Essentials. I will identify evidence of applications/violations of the principles of learning. I
can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.
PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING WHAT DID THE RESOURCE TEACHER
DO TO APPLY THE PRINCIPLES OF
LEARNING
1. Effective learning begins with the setting of The teacher uses projector to show her planned
clear and high expectations of learning learning outcomes for the topics.
outcomes.
2. Learning is an active process. The teacher encouraged students to participate
fully in class discussions and educational
learning activities.
3. Learning is the discovery of personal The teacher allows students to think about and
meaning and relevance of ideas. express their thoughts on the topic, as well as
discuss it in front of the class.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative In a group work exercise, the teacher assigns
process. Learning is enhanced in an students to interpret the poetry by producing,
atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration. brainstorming ideas with their peer groups, and
debriefing their final thoughts. In order to
comprehend the readings, the students are
eager to ask questions, communicate with one
another,

ANALYZE

1. What principles of learning were most applied? Least applied?

. Most applied
- The most commonly used learning principle is "learning is a cooperative and
collaborative process," because the resource teacher always groups the class so
that students feel comfortable sharing their ideas. They will be exchanging ideas,
and they will now present their output with an answer.

Least Applied
- The least applied learning principle is "learning is the discovery of personal
meaning and relevance of concepts," because the teacher spent the majority of
the time explaining and sharing his/her ideas on the subject.
2. Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?
- The majority of the work in class was done by the teacher. In contrast, a teacher
primarily assists students in their learning, whereas students are the ones who
contribute ideas to a given topic.

REFLECT

Use this part for your learnings/ insights/ reflections.

From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most
important?
- I believe that the most important principle of learning is that learning is an active
process because this principle requires active participation in higher-order
cognitive tasks such as analysis, synthesis, and assessment. In this context,
active learning practices are recommended for instructional activities that involve
students doing things and thinking about what they are doing.

Activity 9.2 Identifying Learning Outcomes that are aligned with Learning
Competencies
OBSERVE
Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes were stated.
Determine if the learning outcome/s was/were achieved or not. Give evidence
1. Write the Learning outcomes stated in the lesson.

LEARNING SMART objectives ACHIEVED

OUTCOMES YES NO YES NO
 1. Discuss the / /
importance of
knowledge & skills
in basic
sketching,shading
and outlining.

2. Perform the right / /

way for basic
sketching, shading
and outlining.

3. Make own designs / /

in creating products
using materials
found in the
community.

2. Cite pieces of evidences that these learning outcomes were achieved

1. Pictures of students sketching, shading or outlining.
2. The learner’s ouput.

ANALYZE
ANALYZE
ANALYZE
1. Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused?
- Yes, because it is not only attainable but also attainable for the students. It is also applicable to
our daily lives.

REFLECT
Reflect on the Lessons learned in determining SMART learning outcomes. - When
determining SMART learning outcomes, it should be relevant to our lives,
achievable, and timely. Nothing makes sense if you only teach without
evaluating your work.

Activity 9.3 Distinguishing

Between Inductive and
Deductive Methods of Teaching
Activity 9.3 Distinguishing Between Inductive and Deductive Methods of
Teaching
OBSERVE
TEACHER-CENTERED
Did teacher lecture all the time?
Did teacher lecture all the time?
- No
Was the emphasis on the mastery of the lesson
on the lesson or on the test? Prove.
- It is because the teacher elaborated on
what the students must know through
an activity during the lesson.
Was class atmosphere competitive?Why?
- Yes, because they were actively
participating.
Did the teacher focus only on one
discipline/subject?
- No, the teacher integrated another
subject.
Was teaching –learning practice shows that the
teaching approach was:
a. Constructivist-connected to past
experiences of the learners; learners
constructed new lesson meanings
- Students were asked to relate a scene
STUDENT-CENTERED
Were students involved in the teaching-
learning process? How? Or were they mere
passive recipients of instruction?
- The students are very active in their
participation and are involved in all
activities.
Was the emphasis on the student’s application
of the lesson in real life?
- The teacher posed a question and
asked them to relate in a realistic
situation.
Was class atmosphere collaborative? Why?
- Yes, they work in groups and
participate in teams.
Did teacher connect lesson to other
disciplines/subjects?
- Yes.
 from their activity to a real-life
situation.
b. Inquiry-based
- I believed that the students were
sufficiently inquisitive.
c. Developmentally appropriate- learning
activities fit the developmental stage of
children
- The activities assigned by the teacher
reflect the children's developmental
stage.
d. Reflective
- The learners, as I’ve said, learn to
relate real life situation
e. Inclusive-no learner was excluded;
teacher taught everybody.
- The teacher assigns individual
assignments and checks them one by
one.
f. Collaborative-students work together.
- The students brainstorm to generate
ideas.
g. Integrative- lesson was multi-
disciplinary- e.g. in science, math
concepts were taught
- The students attempt to incorporate
their lesson/topic into other areas of
specialization.

ANALYZE
1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and
for thetest?
- Some students, particularly those at the top of the class, may find it interesting, but
others, particularly slow learners, may find it boring. Low achievers, I believe, enjoy a
twist to help them understand the lesson.
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or
student-centered? Why?
- Students should not be bored by their teachers nowadays. Otherwise, they will not listen
and, worse, will sleep, demonstrating that you are not worth teaching them. If I were to
re-teach the class, I would be student-centered in order to engage them, enhance their
learning, and develop their critical thinking skills.

REFLECT
Reflect on Principles of teaching worth applying
 - For me, if I am going to teach, I make sure that the classroom setting creates a
beautifulambiance. Why? It is because this is where they can get their attention. The
learners maybe able to give their full concentration and attention to teacher. Also, it is
giving an activity, Iwill make sure to give them positive reward/feedback.
