application of educational theories learned in content and pedagogy courses will be made. Observation on
learner’s behavior, motivation and teacher’s strategies of teaching, classroom management and assessment
in learning among others shall be given emphasis. A portfolio shall be required in the course
This course is designed to help the field study students verify the behavior of the student in the
actual learning environment. It will require them to recognize feasible approaches to facilitate learning
considering the learner’s different phases of development and social environment
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
