Observation Sheet #2 - On Teacher’s Philosophy on Education

Observation Day: November 15, 2022 & November 17, 2022

Coordinating Teacher: Ma’am Shine Rabino
Mode: F2F

QUESTIONS ANSWERS
OBSERVE
Observe intently what and The teacher was able to based her teaching on six teaching philosophies: (1) Constructivist
how teacher teaches, then learning approach, (2) Higher-order thinking skills learning, (3) Authentic learning approach, (4)
identify the Problem-based teaching and learning approach, (5) Technology-based teaching and (6) Goal-
philosophy/philosophies directed learning approach
on which, what, and how
he/she teaches are based.
ANALYZE
Based on what you observed, which philosophies does the teacher adhere to?
Philosophy What/How Teacher Taught
1. Constructivist Approach At first, the teacher explained the process of solving the values under Parabola with the
- ”I do, we do, you do” vertex (h,k). The next thing she do is to ask students to help her with the solution of the next
method problem. After that, she let the students work on the given problems by their own.
2. Higher-order thinking skills The teacher practiced the students on how to solve the values under the Parabola, graph
learning them and apply their learning of parabola to a given word problem.
- The learning objectives
involves “solving”,
“graphing”, “applying” etc.
3. Authentic learning The teacher asked students to answer real-life problems involving the use of Parabola such
approach as creating an equation for the given parabolic arch and finding the height of the cable of

4. Problem-based teaching The teacher showed students lots of problems about parabola with different cases. She

6. Goal-directed learning The teacher encouraged students to review what they have learned on the class and asked

REFLECT
If you were asked to I would be more constructivist in teaching them this time. By now, it seems that the students
reteach the same lesson, already knew well about the lesson. They respond really well and know how to solve for the

to this question based?
This teaching approach is based from constructivism and personal model teaching style. The
student-centered learning approach is important to be developed in the class and it is found to
be the one of the most effective teaching approaches in the 21 st century. If the students take
part on the teaching and learning experiences, they can manage to learn both independently
and collaboratively.
