INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my portfolio. I am Hanna Marie L. Payba, a student from Sultan Kudarat


State University under the program of Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English.
Education is the key to unlocking the potential of every individual. As Nelson Mandela once
said, 'Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. This
portfolio is a reflection of my journey, observations, and learnings as a pre-service teacher at San
Pablo National High School, where I have had the privilege of being mentored by dedicated
educators and interacting with aspiring young minds.

My journey in the field of education has driven by a profound belief in the transformative
power of knowledge. Education is not merely about the transmission of facts; it is a dynamic
process that fosters critical thinking, nurtures creativity, and empowers individuals to envision
and create a better world. As an aspiring educator, I am dedicated to instilling this sense of
possibility in my students. My time as a pre-service teacher at San Pablo National High School
has provided me with invaluable insights into the challenges and rewards of teaching. It has
reinforced my belief that a teacher's role extends far beyond the classroom. We are not just
instructors; we are mentors, motivators, and role models for the next generation. I have had the
privilege of witnessing the spark of curiosity ignite in the eyes of my students, and it is a feeling
like no other. The importance of education in shaping the future cannot be overstated. It equips
individuals with the tools to solve problems, engage in meaningful dialogue, and contribute
positively to society. It is a bridge that connects people from diverse backgrounds and
perspectives, fostering understanding and empathy. Education transcends boundaries and
empowers us to be global citizens.

In conclusion, as a student educator my experiences has affirmed my unwavering


commitment to the field of education. I believe that education is not just a means to an end but a
lifelong pursuit of knowledge and personal growth. It is a continuous process of self-discovery
and enlightenment that enriches our lives and the lives of those we touch. As I move forward on
this path, I carry with me the profound words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most
powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." I am determined to be a part of this
change, to inspire, to nurture, and to empower the next generation. My portfolio stands as a
testament to my dedication to the art of teaching and my belief that education is the cornerstone
of a brighter and more equitable future.

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

My name is Hanna Marie L. Payba, I am currently studying at Sultan Kudarat State


Universiy under the course of Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English and I was born
into a loving family with my mother, Nancy L. Payba, and my father, Filbert V. Payba, who have
been my pillars of strength and unwavering support. I hail from a small town where the sense of
community and the value of hard work are deeply ingrained in our way of life.

Growing up, I developed a deep appreciation for the power of education, thanks to my
parents' encouragement and the nurturing environment they provided. Their dedication to my
academic journey and their belief in my potential have been instrumental in shaping my dreams.

One thing you should know about me is that my favorite color is black, a shade that
represents the depth and endless possibilities I associate with learning and personal growth. A
color inspires me to explore the uncharted territories of knowledge and to always strive for
excellence.

What truly inspires me is the selfless dedication of my parents, who have worked
tirelessly to provide for our family and ensure that my siblings and I have the best opportunities
in life. Their sacrifices and love inspire me daily to pursue a career in teaching, as I dream of
becoming a LET (Licensure Examination for Teachers) passer, not only for myself but to give
back to my parents and make them proud. The dream of providing for them and easing their
burdens is a driving force in my life.

My aspiration to become a teacher is deeply rooted in my desire to make a meaningful


impact on the lives of students, just as my own teachers have influenced mine. The role of an
educator in shaping the future of individuals and society as a whole is a responsibility I
wholeheartedly embrace. I believe that education is the key to unlocking human potential and
fostering positive change, and I am eager to be a part of this transformative journey.

BELIEFS IN TEACHING AND LEARNING (PRE AND POST)

Before embarking on my journey as a student educator, I often contemplated what it


meant to be a teacher. I realized that teaching goes beyond delivering lessons; it is about building
connections, fostering a nurturing learning environment, and inspiring students to reach their full
potential. I believe in the power of empathy, patience, and adaptability as essential qualities for
an effective educator.

During my field study and pre-service teaching at San Pablo National High School, I
have had the privilege of witnessing the transformation that occurs when a teacher genuinely
cares about their students' success. This experience has reinforced my belief in the profound
impact teachers can have on their students' lives. It is not just about imparting knowledge but
also about igniting the flame of curiosity and guiding students on their educational journey.

In the pre-service phase, I immersed myself in the art of teaching, learning that it requires
not only academic knowledge but also an understanding of the individual needs and potentials of
each student. Every student is a unique book waiting to be opened, and as educators, we hold the
key to unlocking their stories and empowering them to write their own chapters. I believe in the
importance of fostering an inclusive, student-centered classroom that values diversity and
supports students in their pursuit of knowledge.

My journey as a pre-service teacher has reinforced my conviction that teaching is not just
a job; it is a vocation, a calling to make a positive difference in the lives of young learners. It is
about being a mentor, a guide, and a source of inspiration. It is about instilling the love of
learning and providing the tools for students to navigate the complexities of the world. Every
moment in the classroom is an opportunity to ignite the passion for knowledge and help students
discover their unique strengths and abilities.

In conclusion, my pre-service teaching experiences have deepened my understanding of


the profound impact teachers can have on the lives of their students. I am more committed than
ever to the belief that teaching is a noble endeavor, a journey of continuous learning, and an
opportunity to shape the future. My journey has reinforced my belief in the power of education
to change lives, and I am dedicated to being an educator who makes a positive impact on the
next generation. I look forward to continuing to learn and grow as an educator, guided by the
core values of empathy, patience, adaptability, and a passionate commitment to fostering the love
of learning in my students. As I venture into my future as a teacher, I am excited to be a part of
the transformative process that empowers individuals to unlock their potential and create a better
world.

LEARNING
FIELD STUDY 1 EPISODE

The School Environment

FS 1 1
SPARK Your Interest

This episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school
environment that promotes learning and development.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 At the end of this episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school
environment that is safe, secure, and is supportive of learning (PPST 2.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent practices that:
 Keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
 Maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
 Address the physical, social, and psychological needs of the students.

2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning


environment. They help in building and establishing the school culture. Those boards
become one way for everyone to learn about the vision-mission, goals, and values that the
school upholds.

3. As a basic part of the school’s visual environment, display boards have for general
purposes:

 Decorative- they offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social
and psychological atmosphere of the school.
 Motivational - they encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence.
An example would be the display of students’ outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners’ growth and
progress.
 Informational - they are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
 Instrumental - they move students to respond and participate through interactive
displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learning.
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness,
and durability.

To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, work my way through these steps:
1. Visit a school, look into facilities and support learning areas in the campus, then in the
classroom.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
4. Reflect on the characteristics of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good school environment through any of these:
a) Descriptive paragraph b) Photo essay
c) Sketch or drawing d) Poem, song or rap

OBSERVE

As you move around the campus, observations forms are provided for you to document
your observations. It is advised that you read the entire worksheet before proceeding to the

ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the students
going to school? What are your conclusions?
Based on what I observed, the school and classrooms can really affect how students learn.
When there no enough facilities and things such as buildings and technology, it would makes it
harder for students to learn and grow. For example, not having a place like an auditorium, a lab
for science, a room for technology, or a place with lots of learning materials can hinder and limit
what students can learn and do. Also, having just one restroom for both boys and girls can be
tough for students, especially when they're growing up and if the school's buildings are not in
good shape, it can even be unsafe and distract students from learning.

How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development?
Having a good school with enough things for learning, like buildings and learning
materials, can make a big difference in how students learn and grow. It can be related to the topic
of the Impact of a Safe School Environment and Access to Complete Learning Materials on
Child and Adolescent Development. A secure school environment and ensuring students have
access to adequate learning material. From what I know about child and adolescent development,
they need a place that is safe and caring to develop their skills and grow and I believe that a
school with the right facilities can help students a lot.

How does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?


As a future teacher, I need to understand how the school affects students and make sure it
helps them learn and grow. I should make sure the school is a good place for students, with
things, they need to learn, and that I teach in a way that helps them succeed. That is how I can
really help them grow and learn.

REFLECT

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed?
Why? Why not?
Certainly, even though the school's condition has not improved yet, I am still
eager to teach the students. As a future educator, one of my core principles is to give my
best when teaching children, whether using modern teaching methods or traditional ones.
The lack of materials should not hinder a teacher's ability to educate. Moreover,
considering we are in an era of advanced technology, I believe that someday this school
will also enhance its facilities and receive government funding to provide a quality
education for all its students.

2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?


A conducive school campus creates an inviting atmosphere making learning
enjoyable. It has thoughtfully designed to provide study areas that are not messy. Inside
the classroom, there are gadgets that make learning enjoyable and have access to Wi Fi
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 13

for watching educational videos or for conducting research. Additionally there are areas
students can enjoy and run around and library to read books or relax in spaces. When
hunger strikes students and teachers have a variety of nutritious food options to choose
from the canteen. Safety is paramount; therefore, friendly guards are present along with a
security plan. In essence, an ideal school campus will serve as your sanctuary, for
learning and personal growth.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?


A conducive classroom is one that is comfortable organized and well equipped. It
feels like a haven where you are treated with respect and can focus on your studies. The
classroom provides a number of seats, desks and supplies to cater to activities. There is a
chalkboard or whiteboard along, with bulletin boards. Communication in the classroom is
clear between the teacher and students. Naturally, the classroom should always maintain
cleanliness and tidiness in order to have an effective learning and personal development
for students.

4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?


To accomplish an ideal and conducive classroom based on my answer stated above, as a
teacher it is crucial to regularly maintain and upgrade the design or look of the classroom and
learning equipment. Additionally, I will foster clear communication and mutual respect
between my students and teachers since it is one of the key to have a conducive learning for
students. Finally, I will place importance in cleanliness and organization greatly because i
believe it also contributes to a conducive learning environment.

5. Write your additional learning and insights here.


I do not have that much learning insights to add but I believe that fostering
communication will make learning easier and can create a great classroom and school
campus. Moreover, it's better if the school is clean and organized because it can make us
focus better. In addition, being respectful helps everyone feel happy and ready to learn. In
addition, we can all achieve this ideal learning environment if we as a teacher took our
profession with passion and commitment.

The classroom board is plays a role in facilitating teaching and learning within the
classroom. There are total of six-board display I have notice that are intentionally design to
enhance teaching and learning. The board is printed on tarpaulin and it is place in an area
where the target viewers can see them. The display contains information about floods,
landslides and comprehensive sexuality education. They also have transparency board, which
contains information about MODE, PTA, Donations, Canteen, Donated resources and IGP.

The board also has colors but the combination of color does not hurt the eye of the
viewers. It is also adorn with range of ideas and valuable information. It also has image and
illustration that contributes to the visual appeal of the topic. As I further observed, there are no
errors with regard to the spellings, grammars and no inconsistencies. The message is clearly
understandable and it caught my attention because it was also big and the information about it
can be stated clearly and can be easily grasp. It proves beneficial in facilitating teaching and

ANALYZE

What do you think was the purpose of the board display?


I believe the purpose of the board display here at San Pablo National High School is to
inform us about important topics and to support teachings, meetings, and sharing interesting
information. Throughout the hallways, I have seen board display that provides information about
various topics such as proper garbage disposal, trash segregation, as well as guidelines for
preparedness in natural disasters like tropical storms, landslides, and floods. It also displays how
to be secure and handle yourself during these calamities. In the clinic area, there are board
displays that cover comprehensive sexuality education and information on maintaining healthy
adolescents, details about HIV/AIDS prevention and more. Outside the principal's office, I found
a board display with important information about school related matters including the parent-
teacher association or PTA, the school donations and available resources. The board displays I
believe have a way to serve and share information and capture the people's attention.

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interest of its target audience? Why? Why not?
Yes, I believe the board display appears to reflect the interests of its target audience,
including students, visitors, and teachers because it provides relevant information on topics like
garbage disposal disaster, preparedness and comprehensive sexuality education. It also addresses
practical concern and educational needs making it in engaging and useful for those it aims to
reach.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why not?
Yes, I believe the language that is use in board display appears to be clear and simple for
the target audience. The descriptions in the provided text are straightforward and it convey
information in a concise manner. This simplicity help ensure that a broad audience can easily
understand the messages and information presented on the board display, making them effective
for communication and education.

Did the board display effective? Why? Why not?


Based on my observation, the board displays are likely effective because the language
that is used is clear and simple making the information easily understandable for the target
audience. Additionally, the board display cover a range of important topics that can be valuable
for awareness in environment or the learning progress and development of the students. The
placement of board display like in hallways and clinic shows that people are likely to see and
benefit from the information. However, I also believe that the effectiveness of the board display
are also influence by how often they are change or updated and whether they make people want
to do something or get involve.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 19

What suggestions can you make?


For suggestions, I believe in order to enhance the effectiveness of the board display; they
should also consider putting artistic and unique designs to make it more lively and eye-catching.
In addition, they should consider updating the board display regularly and add topics that are
more valuable. Moreover, add another board display displaying every clubs and activities of the
school to make it more interactive and engaging with audience better.

REFLECT

1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board
displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
I believed teacher’s need to have creativity skills because being with imaginative and
unique ways not just in teaching but also inside the classroom to make it look more
interesting. Second is being organized, having an organizational teacher arrange things over
the content on the board neatly. They also need to be good in terms of communication
because it is essential for conveying information concisely and clearly. Next be attention to
detail, having this skill for a teacher can prevent any errors in spelling, grammar and design.
Lastly, time management skill, having this still is crucial for teacher especially in terms of
planning and updating board displays regularly.

2. Which of the skills you named in # 1 do you already have? Recall your past experiences
in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

it and making it look eye-catching. Next in having good organizational skills to which 2 have
applied in arranging its content.

3. Which skills do you need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how you can
improve on or acquire these skills?
I believe I still need to work on improving my creativity and communication skills for
designing visually. I should plan to attend workshops in graphic designing appealing and
informative displays and to be able to do this, a collaborative projects with people who these
type of areas of skills because practice and learning from others will be my concrete step to
acquire these skills.

FS 1 2 Development Characteristics, Needs and Interest

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to observe learners of different ages and


grade levels. It highlights the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future teacher, it
is important for me to determine my learners’ characteristics and needs so that I will be able to
plan and implement learning activities and assessment that are all developmentally appropriate.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

 At the end of this Episode, I must be able to describe the characteristics, needs and
interests of learners from different developmental levels. (3.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode:

1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as, from the
head to the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards (proximodistal).
2. Development takes place gradually.
3. All domains of development and learning physical, social and emotional, and cognitive are
important, and they are closely interrelated, (NAEYC, 2009).
4. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or
representational capabilities, (NAEYC, 2009).

Fine motor skills They can write gracefully but a lot of them still need to learn how to read
and pronounce words correctly and also need more practice in terms of
spelling.

They know how to support and encourage each other. For instance, when
one cannot answer the given question by the teacher, the student would
say "ma'am gusto ko siya tulongan sa pag answer". They are also
respectful when it comes to religions of one another.

Emotional

Moods and temperament, They are happy, active, and sensitive or can easily cry. However, there is
expression of feelings also one student I noticed that is very temperament when he gets teased
by his classmates over small things.

Emotional independence They know how to make decisions about the emotions and actions and
likely have their own beliefs and personal identity. They feel happy
when they play with their classmates and they express their emotions
when crying.

Others They are always positive and can share their feelings with others.

Cognitive

Communication Skills They enjoy talking a lot and some students are diverse there are
Christians Muslims, Ilonggos and Tagalog. Students can speak Tagalog
very well and they use it when they are asked by their teacher during
class. For Muslim students they speak Islam when talking with their
likes. However, they are still having problems when it comes to
pronouncing words in English.

They can critically think and are often creative when they start to talk

REFLECT

1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experiences when you were their
age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners you observed?

While observing the learners, I recall my own experience. At their age, I recall how
enjoyable it was to be carefree, young and learn new things just like them. Watching them made
me realize how much I have grown physically, mentally and emotionally. I also noticed some
similarities between the learners and myself. Like me, they also love to be curious about things
they do not understand and are quite creative. However, I also notice differences. For instance,
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 30

the students exude confidence I did not have back when I was in grade seven. They confidently
participate and answer the teachers question even when they do not know the answer. They are
eager to try and are open with their teacher. Another difference is that, although there were
advanced technologies like android phones and computers when I was their age, I did not spend
much time using them during break time. I preferred playing bonding and talking with my
friends. Nowadays, students seem to spend a lot of their break time in technology like playing
games on their phones rather than playing outside or bonding with their friends. This experience
was an opening for me and made me realize how much I have I changed and grown.

2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did she/he help or not
help you with your needs (physical, emotional, social and cognitive)? How did it affect you?

I cannot forget my grade seven teacher Mrs. Annaliza Ambrosio for a reason. she was an
excellent teacher who truly cared about her students. Mrs. Ambrosio was always ready to help
when students need it, and she was a great listener who offered guidance and support. She was not
bias in terms of her student’s capabilities and she really understood as very well. A teacher like
her motivated us to give our best efforts. Not only did he teaches important academic lessons but
she also imparted valuable life lessons to us. Mrs. Ambrosio had a significant impact on my life
as a student. Without her, I would not have learned something so valuable and useful which have
helped me get to where I am today.

3. Share your other insights here.

I watch the seventh grade students and remembered how I felt at their age. They seem
confident and use technology more than I did back then. I also remembered my Great grade
seven teacher who cared a lot about us and thought as important life lesson. Some of the students
I observed are lively and participative, while there are others that are shy and mischievous. Jonah
Mae Custodio and Princess Nicole Serbito were standout students. One being optimistic the other
smart and active in a class, but there were also naughty boys who didn't pay attention and made
jokes during class discussions. I believe this challenging students can be better when given
attention and proper guidance. Moreover, these observation remind me of important role teachers
play in shaping students’ lives and a potential for growth in every student to matter their
behaviors.

As a future teacher, my favorite aspect of development is cognitive development.


Understanding how students' thinking processes evolve and adapt over time enables me to tailor my
teaching methods to their cognitive abilities and needs. By recognizing and accommodating their
cognitive growth, I can create more effective and engaging lessons, helping students reach their full
potential. Additionally, acknowledging the interplay between cognitive and social development equips
me to foster a supportive classroom environment where students can both learn and develop socially,
ultimately enhancing their overall educational experience.

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 3 provides an opportunity to observe how differences and gender, racial, cultural
and religious backgrounds, including coming from indigenous groups influence learner behavior,
interaction, and performance in school. One will also analyze and reflect on practices that
teachers used in leveraging diversity in the classroom. It also provides an opportunity to observe
how differences in abilities affect interaction in school and learn about strategies that teachers
used in addressing the learners needs toward effective teaching and learning.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 describe the characteristics and needs of learners from diverse backgrounds:


 identify the needs of students with different levels of abilities in the classroom:
 identify best practices in differentiated teaching to suit the varying learner needs in a
diverse class (PPST 3.1.1): and
 demonstrate openness, understanding, and acceptance of the learners' diverse needs and
backgrounds

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Here are principles and concepts relevant to this episode:


1. Principles of Development
a. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well as
uneven rates across different areas of the child's functioning. (NAEYC 2019)
b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to achieve
at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they have many
opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.
c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match the
learning content, activities and assessment to the different characteristics,
abilities, interests, and needs of the learners.

2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners:
a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences
b. Learners' linguistic cultural socioeconomic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents
d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation,
chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or
disasters, child abuse, and child labor.
Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors mentioned
affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They remember that the
learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers assure the students that their
gender identity, culture and religion are respected, their strengths are recognized, and their
needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that everyone has the chance to learn and
succeed. They create a learning community where everyone can work together and contribute
regardless of their abilities, capacities and circumstances.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 35

Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:

 use strategies to build a caring community in the classroom


 model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions
 bring each of the student's home culture and language into the shared culture of
the school
 provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition

3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples


A young teacher's approach to indigenous peoples starts with a keen awareness of
one's own identity, including one's beliefs and cultural practices. Through serious
reflection one may realize that the self is a product of all the influences of key people in
one's life and the community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous groups
carry with them their beliefs, views and cultural practices. One's attitude needs to be that
of openness and respect. Come in not with the view that one's own culture is superior.
We approach with the sincere willingness and deep interest to know and understand the
indigenous peoples' culture. We aim to make teaching-learning facilitative rather than
imposing.
a. From your professional education subjects/courses, most likely you have discussed
indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country has about 110
ethno-linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao, some in Northern Luzon
and fewer in the Visayas. (UNDP Philippines, 2010). They represent about 10-20% of
our total population. There are two big indigenous peoples’ groups which have
several smaller ethnic groups within them, the non-muslim groups called the Lumads
in Mindanao, and the lgorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have the
Badjaos. Ati and Tumandok, Mangyans, and Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act, recognizes and
protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and indigenous peoples
(IP). Our country was admired by other nations for enacting this law. However, years
later, so much still has to be done to improve the lives of millions of people from
indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis, 2017)
c. Guided by RA8371, in 2015 Dead Issued DO 12. 2015, Adopting the Indigenous
Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework. Most useful for you as a
future teacher to remember in the 5 Key Elements of an Indigenous Peoples
Education Curriculum (DO 32, s.2015 enclosure. pp. 15-18)
1. Curriculum Design, Competences and Content. Interfacing the national
curriculum with Indigenous Knowledge are systems and practices (IKSPs) and
Indigenous Learning systems (ILS) the desire of a culturally appropriate and
responsive curriculum has the following features:
a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community's work
view, and its indigenous cultural institutions.
b. Includes and respects the community's expression of spirituality as part of the
curriculum context.
c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity,
d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengthens, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and indigence
languages.
e. Emphasizes competencies that are needed to support the development and
protection of the ancestral domain, the vitality of their culture, and the
advancement of indigenous peoples' rights and welfare.
f. Supports the community's efforts to discern new concepts that will contribute
to the community's cultural integrity while enabling meaningful relations with
the broader society.

2. Teaching Methodologies and Strategies. A culturally appropriate and


responsive curriculum employs teaching methodologies and strategies that
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 36

strengthen, enrich and complement the community's indigenous teaching-learning


process.

3. Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and responsive


curriculum recognizes that the ancestral domain where IKSPs are experienced,
lived and learned is the primary learning environment and learning space of
indigenous learners

4. Learning Resources. Instructional materials, and other learning resources shall


be developed and utilized in line with the described curriculum content and
teaching learning processes.

5. Classroom Assessment. Assessment shall be done utilizing tools appropriate to


the standards, competencies, skills, and concepts being covered. Their design and
use shall address the needs and concerns of the community and shall be developed
with their participation.

OBERVATION REPORT

The School Observed: San Pablo National High School

School Address: Prk. San Jose, San Pablo, Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat

Date of Visit: October 2, 2023

The teachers and grade seven students of San Pablo National High School have shown an
impressive level of bond and engagement in the classroom. Upon observation, I have noticed that
the number of students is around sixty-four, with thirty-six males and twenty-five females, range
of ages from 13 and up. Students are also divided in two religions, which is Catholics, and Islam
The students were seen to interact with each other and with the teacher quite actively during class
time. The connection between students is very strong, with those in the front of the class tending to
join the conversation more often and participate while those at the back tended to do their own
business and some do not listen to the teacher. I also noticed that the students actively cooperate
with each other and display a team spirit when working on tasks together. Although as teacher, you
need to repeat what you say or else they will be disorganized, because there are some students who
do not listen.

I was also pleased to see that during class, participation was high among the students with all
members taking part in class activities or answering questions. I also noticed that when a student
was unable to answer the teacher’s question, the classmates were supportive and eager to help. The
teacher was also very patient and ensured that the student felt comfortable and able to participate
without fear of judgement. In addition, I also noticed that the students typically gather in
heterogeneous groups outside the classroom during breaks. They are usually seen in groups of two
to four that are mixed by gender and interests. There were also times when students were alone,
seemingly deep in thought or detached from the environment. I noticed some students who did not
interact with the other students, but this was only observed in few cases.

I talked to the teachers while I was there and asked them how they deal with students who come
from tough economic backgrounds. They told me that these students often show different
behaviors like feeling lonely or insecurity and in order to address these they make students feel
accepted and promotes equality in the classroom. The teachers said they use different methods
depending on each student's situation. They have specific approaches for boys and girls, students
who speak different languages, like the Muslims who speaks Islam, as well as those who have
different family incomes. Especially with student who are consider gay and are subjects of
bullying sometimes. In addition, it is a good thing that there are rare or no cases of discrimination
among these students. Their goal is to help these students feel at ease and get along well with
others at school.

Overall, my observation of San Pablo National High school yielded positive results. The
students appear to have a friendly and supportive environment that encourages diversity and
inclusiveness.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 39

ANALYZE
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and in and interactions in the
classroom. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be the leader, a
mascot/joker, as attention seeker, a little teacher, a double pessimist?
What makes the learners assume these roles? What factors affect their behavior!
Based on what I have noticed among the 64 students, they all have their own unique
personalities and roles. In the class, a leader serves as the classroom president. Sometimes, she
may not fully meet her leadership role, but she always tries her best and maintains good
relationships with her classmates. I could not pinpoint one specific student as the class joker, but
it seems like many of them have a great sense of humor. There are also a few students who seek
attention, but this is not necessarily a negative trait. They are smart kids, and it is natural for
them to want some attention. After all, they are still young, and that is understandable.
Additionally, a student acts like a little teacher. She is entertaining and fun to be around.
Surprisingly, I could not find a pessimistic student among them. Based on my interactions with
them, they generally have a positive outlook on things, which I find quite likable. I believed that
the students take on the roles because of who they are and what they like and this can be shaped
by how they were raised, whom they hang out with, and their personal qualities.

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 by the others? How is this
shown?
What does the teacher do to address issues like this?
How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual differences of the
students?
While I appreciate the students' positive outlook on life, it is also important to note that some
students seem to be left out or appear different. This is not because they have disabilities, but it's
noticeable based on their poor attitude and poor intellectual capacity as well as their poor
hygiene. Perhaps this is because their parents neglect them or facing issues in home or outside of
school. Thankfully, the majority of students are friendly and kind, and they do not behave rudely
towards these students. They do not reject or isolate them. I believed that teacher can helps
address issues like this by making sure the class is a friendly and inclusive place and by talking
with the students about being kind and understanding to everyone, no matter how different they
may seem. The teacher also gives extra help to these students who need it, especially in a way of
discipline and teaching them properly so everyone feels like they belong. This way, the teacher
will be set as a good example and makes sure the class is nice to each other and understands that
everyone is different.

3. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity in the classroom?
How does the teacher leverage diversity!
In my experience during observation, it seems that the teacher makes the most of the
different students in the class by telling them to be nice and understanding, helping when
someone needs it, and showing them how to be accepting. In addition, this makes the classroom
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 40

a happy and welcoming place where everyone's differences are appreciated, making learning
more interesting for everyone.

REFLECT

1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or unity
among the learners and between the teacher and the learner?

In that classroom, I genuinely felt a strong sense of unity among both the learners and the
teacher. It was evident that the classroom was more than just a physical space; it was a
community of individuals working together towards a common goal. The learners shared a
sense of camaraderie, supporting one another in their academic endeavors, and there was a
palpable bond of trust and respect between the teacher and the students. This unity created a
positive and inclusive atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable, respected, and motivated
to actively participate in the learning process. It was clear that the teacher had fostered an
environment that encouraged collaboration and a sense of belonging, ultimately contributing
to the overall success of the classroom.

Name of the School Observed: San Pablo National High School

School Address: Purok San Jose, Brgy. San Pablo, Tacurong City

Date of Visited: October 4, 2023

When I visited San Pablo National High School and observe the students, I
noticed that some are better at learning than others are. We also interview the teacher to learn
more about the students backgrounds and needs, and according to her there are students that
learn well and other are some student who needs proper guidance and attention. However,
there are no student with special needs among the grade 7 class that I have observed.

I also observed how regular students and those who struggle to behave in
class. They have different attitudes, and work and learn at different speeds, they interact
differently with the teachers and with each other. Although there are really times that students
do not get along with each other and often leads into fighting. The teacher would intervene,
separate them and address the conflict calmly. Thus, the teacher is able to maintain a
harmonious environment inside the classroom.

I also watch how teacher help individual student in the class. She
communicates well with them and gives them personalized feedback and guidance. the teacher
also provide strategies to help students overcome any difficulties the experience during class
discussion.

Overall, my experience at san pablo national high school was positive. I learn
about the students different abilities and how the teachers meet their needs.

OBSERVATION REPORT

ANALYZE

1. Did your observation match the information given by the teacher?

Yes, I believe my observation is aligned with the information shared by the teacher. I also
noticed varying ability levels among students, and teachers’ effort to address their diverse
needs were consistent with her description.

2. Describe the differences inability level of the students in the class? What practices or
strategies are done or should be done to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of the
learners?

The students have different skills and abilities in the class. Some were really good
and others found it harder to keep up with others. To help them cope up teachers use
strategies or different ways of teaching them. Like before discussing the lesson teachers will
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 43

get their attention. Teachers also use inductive and deductive method for teaching to make
learning for students interactive. Therefore, serum is it makes the class lessons motivating to
learn for students. Moreover teachers also make the class fun and educational putting them in
groups giving them different assignments or daily plants to maintain the daily homework and
activities they are about to do and helping or give attention to those who struggle so they
won't feel like they are neglected or left out in the class.

3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in abilities.
How did the students respond to the teacher? Did the teacher use differentiate instruction? If
yes, describe how?

The teachers at the school I have observed did a good job with the student who have
different styles and levels of learning. They can be easily adaptable and open student respond
to them with respect. Although, there are student who was not listening well, teachers are
able to keep them focus by creating an interactive class. They are nice to all of them and
made sure everyone is engage in class. In terms of instructions, they employ different
methods like by repeating it, or after discussing the lesson, they provide questions to ask
them if they have learned something. Students would raise their hand and respond to them
with confidence. They also give personal advice, changing their way of teaching when
students can catch up and helping someone who struggle to understand the lesson in class.
The students like this and may learn better this way.

REFLECT

1. Recall the time when you were in elementary or high school. Recall the high and low
achievers in your class. How did your teacher deal with differences in abilities? Was your
teacher effective?
When I was in elementary and high school, I noticed that some teachers tended to
favor the high-achieving students while neglecting those who were struggling. This bias
and favoritism among teachers should allow because as future educators, they should
treat all students fairly. I remember this issue well because based on my experience I also
know what it feels like to struggle in school and get out of my comfort zone. I consider
myself an average student, not exceptionally smart, active or participative in class,
mainly due to my social anxiety. However, I am grateful that some teachers noticed this
and encouraged students like me to be brave. They often said it is better to try to make
mistakes than regret not trying because nobody is perfect. Therefore, based on my
experience this is how teachers’ deal students and that is by encouraging students with
different abilities and by motivating us to try, learn from mistakes, and not fear
imperfection. I found this approach effective in building confidence for students who are
struggling and promoting a positive learning environment.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 44

2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to meet the needs of the
learners?

I believe to be a good teacher, I need to be patient and understand that each


student learns differently. I also have to be flexible and change how I teach to help all
students. It is important to care about my students and listen to them. Being excited about
what I am teaching can make students interested too. In addition, by planning fun and
useful lessons not just about academics but also to relate it in real life situations to make
it more engaging and prepares them for the challenges and opportunities that they will
encounter their future careers and personal lives. In addition, I must always work on
getting better and keeping up with new ways or engaging methods of teaching to help my
students learn well and make their learning progress effective and valuable.

indigenous people education.

School Address: Davao, Mindanao

Date of Visit: October 6, 2023

After watching an inspiring video about Pamulaan indigenous university I am deeply


intrigued by the profound impact it has on be serving the indigenous cultures and fostering
education, I learned that the school being a home for education for various indigenous people
around the Philippines. From the video, I also remembered and learn about the customs and
how they greet each other respectfully. Furthermore, I noticed that the school was set up with
different areas for different groups of students, which made them feel united.

Inside the school the students were doing many activities related to their culture like
talking, listening to stories, play indigenous games, and singing songs, the teachers and
principal were also very involved in teaching. The school and educational technologies where
they create instructional materials, they have to books, worksheets and other materials that can
be useful to and help with learning and teaching.

In addition, since I have not talked to the principal in our school but thankfully from the
video that I watch where various speakers include the teachers, students, and indigenous elders
of the university are sharing about their school history and the programs it offers to learner to
foster and provide a quality learning for them. Moreover, it was revealed that the curriculum is
focus on teaching the indigenous people’s language, traditions and culture. Additionally, their
curriculum aims to provide insights on sustainable learning practices aligning with indigenous
values.

To conclude, I saw that the Pamulaan university cares a lot about teaching indigenous
cultures. They use good methods and materials to help students learn and be proud of their
heritage. This is also in line with the law in the philippines that supports indigenous education.

What do you think can still be done to promote and uphold the indigenous people’s
knowledge system and practices and rights in schools?

I believe that in order to promote and uphold the indigenous peoples knowledge system,
practices, and rights in school, it is important to have diversity of teachers who bring a variety of
cultural and have experience to the work. It is also important to work towards realistic programs
and successful outcomes for all students regardless of their background and culture. This could
include hiring, funding, and training for indigenous teachers to educate about their topics.
Additionally, it is important to make places where indigenous students feel safe to celebrate their
cultures and beliefs. This can include letting them where the traditional clothing, and offering
classes or clubs where they can learn in their native language.

REFLECT

Reflect based on your actual visit or videos that you watched.

1. What new things did you learn about indigenous peoples?

What I learn about indigenous people is the rich cultural diversity, red connection to the
land, an importance of preserving their traditions and knowledge for future generations.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 49

2. What did you appreciate most from your experience in visiting the school with indigenous
learners? Why?
What I appreciate most from visiting the school with indigenous learners was very strong
sense of community and the way they incorporate their cultural heritage into their education.
It was inspiring to see how their culture was not just respected but celebrated in the learning
environment, making it more meaningful experience for the students.

3. For indigenous learners, as a future teacher, I promise these three things:


3.1 Be open to and respect indigenous people Cultures, their perspective, fostering a
welcoming and inclusive classroom.

Uphold and celebrate their culture, beliefs, and practices by integrating them into curriculum and
creating opportunities for students to share their culture.

Advocate for indigenous people’s education by Supporting and promote equitable access to

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

With the principle of individual differences in mind, what methods and strategies will
you member in the future to ensure that you will be able to meet the needs of both the high
and low achievers in your class? Make a collection of strategies on how to address the
students' difference ability levels.

Teaching Strategies

As a future teacher, I will remember to:

 Invest time in getting to know each of my students so that I will be able to know their
strengths, weaknesses, interests, and objectives in life for me to build rapport and respond
to their needs since they are all different from each other.
 Reduce pressure impose to them but rather make motivating and enjoying activities for
them to have fun while learning.
 Allow the use of Filipino and English language for recitations or question and to answer
inquiry so that all my students will be given an opportunity to share their ideas, learnings,
and opinions with less pressure.
 Vary the subject related activities and tasks into individual, group, and pair work so that
students have an opportunity to interact, communicate, forms relationship and learn from
their classmates for them to be able to relate with one another.
 Pay close attention to the low achievers in class and conduct a counseling to discover
their problems, difficulty and even hindrances to their focus in learning so as a teacher
one will be able to address it accordingly.
 Use different teaching methods and style such as direct instruction, flipped classroom,
kinesthetic learning, differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, exploratory
learning, game-based learning, and students-center learning to match the multiple
intelligence of the students: verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, intrapersonal,
interpersonal, and naturalistic.
 Use different learning resources such as:
 Written materials like textbooks, magazines, newspapers, journals, thesis, etc.
 Digital materials like pictures, videos, documentaries, gifts etc.
 Internet resources search engines like Google, Encarta, online websites,
articles, e-books etc.
 Actual experience such as visiting museums, other schools, science centrums,
gallery, work immersion, etc.
 Provide an inclusive learning environment for all the students to feel that they are belong
and cared despite of their individual differences.
 Make sure that there is no discrimination and to treat everyone with fairness and equality.

Learner Diversity: The Community and Home

FS 1 4
Environment

SPARK Your Interest

Episode 4 provides opportunities for you to have more in-depth look into the factors that affect
the development of a learner. Focus will be on the early experiences and characteristics of the leaner
as described by the family and other significant others. You will also focus how the teacher links
with the community to maximize the learning and development of students.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the students learning.
 seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parent’s guardians and the
wider community (6.2.1); and
 identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the family.

REVISIT the 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 Mesosystem Exosystem Macrosystem Chronosystem
includes the the connection the bigger Outmost layer the element of
structure such between the social system which includes time patterns of
one's family structures in the which includes cultural values stability and
school and microsystem the city customs and pacing of the
neighborhood government, the laws child's everyday
workplace, and life
the mass media

The model helps the teacher investigate 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 work to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring out the best
in every learner.

2. Baumrind's Parenting Styles

Authoritarian. Parents are very firm with their child 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.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 56

Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged with 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 luck self-control that they have low levels of independence and responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents; are found to be the least competent in their overall 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.

Physical Development

The learner's physical aspect is quite promising. Firstly, the mother has a good health
during pregnancy, which contributed to the child's well-being. The child did not experience
any health problems during their early years, indicating a strong physical condition. They
began walking and talking at the age of one year and six months, showing normal
development. As a child and even now, the learner has a fondness for durian, a unique food
preference. During their early years, the child received care from both their parents and their
grandmother, ensuring a nurturing and supportive environment.

Social Development

In terms of the learner's social aspect, she comes across as quite friendly, enjoying
interactions with others. Her playmates include her friends, cousins, and her sister, which has
likely contributed to her sociable nature. During her childhood, she is allowed to play outside
on occasion. As she has grown older, there are times when she has permit to go out with
friends, but there are also rules she must follow. These rules include coming home on time, not
staying out late, and not venturing anywhere without permission from her parents. These rules
help ensure her safety and well-being when spending time with friends and exploring the
world outside.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 60

Emotional-Moral Development

When it comes to how the child feels and what is right and wrong, the mother has
certain expectations. She wants her child to do well in school, finish their studies, and get a
good job in the future. To make sure the child feels safe and cared for; the family keeps their
home peaceful, does chores, and follows the rules. If the child ever feels sad or has a problem,
they can talk to their mother. The mother gives them advice, saying that it is okay to make
mistakes, and there are always more chances to do better next time. It is normal to feel down
sometimes, and that is okay. If the child does not do well at something, the mother tells them
that it has all right to fail sometimes because they can learn from it and try again to do it better.
This way, the child learns to see mistakes as opportunities to get better.

Moreover, the mother’s approach in disciplining her child focuses on encouraging


them to do things correctly and resolving conflicts between them in a positive manner. In their
household, they have rules that help maintain order and harmony. These rules include limits on
cellphone usage, encouraging them to help each other with chores, and allocating time for
studying. To ensure that these rules are followed, she regularly remind her children about
them. This gentle and consistent reminder helps them understand the importance of following
the rules and encourages a sense of responsibility. In case the rules are not followed, there are
consequences. For instance, if the rule about cellphone usage is violated, the cellphone may be
temporarily taken away. Additionally, if they become lazy and neglect their responsibilities,
they may receive a scolding as a reminder to be more diligent.

Cognitive Development

When it comes to the learner's cognitive development, her interests revolve around
completing her education and finding a better job to help lift her family out of poverty. In
school, she excels by actively participating, answering questions, and expressing her opinions
in class, displaying her strong academic engagement. However, she occasionally faces
challenges in English, particularly depending on the topic. To monitor her performance, her
mother, whenever she returns home, inquires about her day at school. This consistent support
and praise for her efforts serve as a motivating factor, reinforcing her belief in her abilities. At
home, there are rules in place to foster good study habits. These rules include limiting
cellphone use and providing assistance with homework, projects, or assignments, particularly
when she encounters difficulty. This approach helps the learner stay focused and perform well
academically, aligning with her aspirations for a brighter future.

Findings

The findings show that the child is doing well in different aspects of their life.
Physically, they are healthy and developing normally. Socially, they are friendly and follow
rules when they play with friends. Emotionally and morally, their mother wants them to do
well in school and learn from their mistakes. Finally, in terms of learning, the child is
interested in education and gets help from their family with their schoolwork. This means they
have a well-rounded and supportive environment for their growth.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 61

Conclusions

In conclusion, the child is doing well in different areas of their growth. They are
physically healthy and meeting their developmental milestones. She is friendly, play well with
others, and follow the rules, which is good for their social development. Their emotions and
morals are also developing nicely because of their supportive family, willingness to learn from
mistakes, and encouragement to keep trying. Lastly, when it comes to learning, they show a
strong interest in school, participate actively in class, and have family rules that help them do
well academically.

Recommendations

Recommendations for further improvement include continued support for the learner's
academic pursuits, especially in areas of difficulty like English, to boost their confidence and
performance. Encouraging open communication within the family about emotions and
problems can further enhance emotional development. In terms of social development, the
family should maintain the positive rules that ensure safety while encouraging age-appropriate
independence and social skills. Overall, maintaining the current nurturing environment while
addressing specific areas of need will contribute to the learner's continued growth and success.

- I believe that Teachers can partner with the community by
engaging with parents and educational institutions to support
students' development and learning. In addition, seeking advice
from school counselors, community leaders, and educational
experts can provide valuable insights into addressing students'
needs and enhancing their educational experience.

REFLECT
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you experience? How
did it affect you?

Looking back at my own childhood, I can see how my parents followed traditional
parenting values. They had strict rules, and if I did not follow them, I would face punishment and
this kind of upbringing had both good and bad effects on me. On the positive side, it taught me
discipline and respect for authority. However, I could not freely express question or myself my
parents' decisions and this limited my creative and analytical development during my teenage
years. I did not get many chances to think outside the box or be innovative. In the end, traditional
parenting gave me a strong foundation for life, but as an adult, I had to work on developing new
skills to be successful.

2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How can you
work well with the parents? How can you help them? How can they help you?

As a future teacher, I plan to create a strong partnership between home and school and I
will do this by building a friendly and open relationship with parents. I will stay in touch with
them regularly, so they know how their child is doing in school both academically and socially.
Then I will explain why it is important for them to be involved in their child's education and
offer any help they might need. I will also include parents in decisions about their child's
education and be open to their suggestions and ideas. In addition, of course, lastly it is important
to express my gratitude for their support and acknowledge their role in their child is learning

EPISODE

FS 1 5
SPARK Your Interest
This learning Episode provides an opportunity to mine how classrooms are structured or
designed to allow everyone's maximum participation for effective learning. You should be able to
examine how classroom management practices affect learning. This Episode enhances the
application of the theories learned in the following professional subject such as Facilitating learner
Centered-Teaching and The Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles
.
TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 plan on how to manage time, space, and resources; and
 provide a learning environment appropriate to the learners and conducive to learning.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


The classroom climate that is conducive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet business-
like. It is a classroom where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the following are observed:
 Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear
 Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
 Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures
 Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
 Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for such
are communicated
 Classroom processes are democratic

Activity 5.1 Managing Time, Space and Learning Resources

Resource Teacher: Sir Jaderey Lasaga Teacher's Signature:_________


School: San Pablo National High School Grade/Year Level: VII
Date: October 11, 2023

OBSERVE
Observe and use the observation sheet provided for you to document your observations

1. As you observe the class, investigate the characteristics of the learners. Note their ages.

2.How many boys are there? How many girls?

3.Focus on their behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?

4.Can the learners already work independently?

5.Describe their span of attention.

During the observation of the classroom, it is note that the learners varied in age, with
36 boys and 25 girls. While some students demonstrated the ability to manage their own
behavior and work independently, the majority appeared to lack independence, often
exhibiting naughty and loud behavior, indicating the need for consistent guidance and
discipline. Moreover, their attention span was limited, as they easily became distracted,
frequently engaging in unrelated activities, walking around, and conversing with peers during
class discussions. These findings suggest a need for improved behavior management and
attention span enhancement strategies to create a more conducive learning environment in the
classroom.

ANALYZE
Analyze and answer these questions on observed classroom management practices. It is also
good to ask the teacher for additional information, so you can validate your observation. Write
your notes below; and then organize your data in the Table that follows.

1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage age of teaching aids, books,
students' belongings, supplies, etc.). Describe these areas. Will it make a difference is
these areas for specific purposes are not present?

- In the classroom I observed, there are areas for different things. There are cabinets where
they keep books, a first aid kit, and teaching stuff. They also have a divan where they
store cleaning tools and a trash can for throwing away garbage. These areas help keep the
classroom tidy and make it easier to learn. Without these areas, the classroom might get
messy and make it hard to find things when you need them. Therefore, these areas are
important to keep the classroom organized and make learning better.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 69

2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these rules
reinforce positive behavior?

- In the classroom, even though there are no signs with rules, which has been post, the
teacher helps students behave well by reminding them about some important things. These
things include being polite to others, raising their hand when they want to talk, following
the class schedule, paying attention when the teacher or classmates speak, doing their
homework on time, and keeping the classroom clean. When students follow these rules
and guidelines, the teacher says positive things to encourage them to keep doing the right
thing. The teacher also sets a good example by following these rules too

3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If the Resource Teacher is
available, ask him/her to describe the process. What's the effect of student’s participation
in rulemaking on student's behavior?

- No, since they are still grade seven and are quite young to be able to make rules and
decisions, so the teacher is the one who mostly made all the rules but they also have small
contributions in making it by sharing their concerns with the teacher. This made a good
impact on how they behaved in class because they felt responsible for following the rules
and being more involved. Therefore, including the students in making the rules helped
them behave better and be more engaged in class.

4. What are the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher? (Prayer, attendance,
assignment of monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?

- Each day, the Teacher begins with a morning prayer and checks who is in class. The
teacher choose students to be in charge of tasks like collecting assignments and organizing
things. To get everyone ready for learning, there are warm-up activities, like quick
exercises or talking about a topic. These routines make sure the class is well organized
and everyone is ready for the lessons.

5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this help in
managing the class?

- In the classroom, students have assigned seats, and these seats are arrange in a way that
helps the teacher keep the class running smoothly. The teacher can see all the students
well the seats also have names of the students in it, the arrangement is designed to reduce
distractions and make it easier for everyone to concentrate on learning. This seating plan
helps the teacher manage the class effectively by making it easier to communicate with
students, maintain order, and prevent disruptions, which creates a better learning
environment.

6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this managed?

- The classroom can sometimes get noisy, but the teacher has ways to handle it. The
teacher keeps an eye on the noise and tells students when it is time to be quiet. They might
talk to the class about when it is okay to talk at a regular volume and when they need to be
quiet for focused work. If the noise gets too loud, the teacher can say good things about
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 70

students who are quiet or use consequences if the noise keeps interrupting learning.
Therefore, the teacher uses different methods to make sure the class stays in control and
good for learning.

7. If a learner is not following instruction or is off task, what does the Resource Teacher do?
Describe the behavior strategies used.

- When a student does not listen to the teacher or gets distracted, the Teacher uses
different ways to help. For example, if the class gets too noisy, the teacher might ask a
student to write down the names of noisy students as a reminder to be quieter. During
class discussions, if a student is not paying attention or makes noise, the teacher might
have them raise their hand. If they continue to be noisy or not follow instructions, the
teacher keeps their hand up until they behave properly. These are just some of the
methods the teacher uses to keep the class focused and well behaved, but there are other
strategies too. The goal is to create a good learning environment while dealing with
behavior issues.

8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (Behavior strategies)

- The Teacher does several things to make students behave well. She say nice things
when students do something good to encourage them. Sometimes, she offer rewards or
treats to students who keep being good. She also use charts or tokens to show how well
students are doing, which makes students feel proud of their good behavior. This helps
create a friendly and encouraging classroom that motivates students to keep being good.

REFLECT
Reflection as a future teacher

1. Why do you need to enforce positive discipline?

Positive discipline is important to help students behave well, be responsible, and have
good relationships with their parents as well as their teachers. It means setting clear rules and
having consequences if students do not follow them. When use positive discipline, it teaches
students to take responsibility for their actions and can fix any problems in the teacher - student
relationship caused by bad behavior. Positive discipline also helps students learn to understand
and control their feelings better. It is a way for parents to show they care a lot about their
students. Positive discipline involves using kind words, praising good behavior, and being
supportive and understanding. It also helps students learn to be considerate and respectful of
others, making the school and community a nicer place to be.

learning environment.

ANALYZE
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners' behavior?

Setting up the classroom neatly and having regular routines can really help students
behave well. When the classroom is organized, students can easily understand how things work
and what is expected of them. This keeps them on track and reduces distractions. It also makes it
easier for teachers to manage the class. Having routines helps students switch between different
activities smoothly, making it easier to learn. It creates a safe and good learning atmosphere
where students feel secure and are more likely to cooperate. When teachers organize the
classroom this way, it can have a long-lasting effect on how students behave.

2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classroom organization and
routines? What theories and principles should you have in mind?

I believe that a teacher needs to have a well-thought-out plan for how the classroom runs
and how things are organized. As a teacher, we should also think about important ideas like
making sure students behave well, teaching in a way that involves the students, and creating a
supportive place for learning. There’s a theory that I can think of that would be useful is the
Social Learning theory of Albert Bandura, if a teacher demonstrates and enforces classroom rules
in a consistent and fair manner, students are likely to follow those rules because they observe the
teacher as a role model for behavior. This theory underscores the importance of teachers being
consistent and setting a positive example in the classroom to encourage students to obey the rules
and maintain a well-organized learning environment.

It is important for the teacher to consider how all of this will make learning a good
experience for everyone. This means having fun activities and using different ways of teaching
in the classroom. They should also have clear and fair rules so that all students know how they
should behave.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? In
motivating students? Why were they effective?

To make sure students behave well, a teacher should use a few effective strategies. Like
for instance, giving reward for student who have a good behavior with things like praise or small
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 73

prizes, this will make students want to keep being good. Then, explain why good behavior is
important, how it helps everyone, and how it affects students themselves. Lastly, make sure to
tell students exactly what behavior they expect from them so that students know what to do.
These strategies help create a well-behaved and organized classroom.

REFLECT
Reflect on the following and write your insights.

1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade year level do you see
yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider for this level. Why?

If I were a teacher, I would want to start the school year by setting up some clear routines
and rules. These would include things like keeping track of whose present, making sure class
transitions are smooth, and having a well-organized plan for teaching. I would also want to
create a list of expectations for both my students and myself. These expectations would cover
things like being respectful and polite to each other. I would emphasize how important it is for
everyone to feel safe and happy in our class. I would focus on teaching in a way that involves the
students and I would make sure to keep parents in the loop about how things are going in class. I
would also have a fair way to grade students' work.

Overall, I believe I can make our classroom a place where learning is exciting and where
students know I care about their success. My goal is to inspire a love for learning and create a
classroom where everyone respects, understands, and accepts each other.

2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these
rules?

1. Be Kind and Respectful


2. Join in and Share Your Thoughts
3. Listen When Others Talk or listen when a teacher is having a class discussion
4. Follow Instructions
5. Be On Time
6. Do Your Homework and Hand in Assignments
7. Raise Your Hand when you want to speak
8. Solve Problems Nicely

I believe that these rules are chosen to make sure our classroom is a great place for learning
and where everyone feels respected and safe. They help keep things organized and positive so
students can enjoy learning.

3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?

I believe that getting students involved in making classroom rules is important. It makes
them feel like they also belong in the classroom and relevant and aligned to their needs, it helps
create rules that actually make sense for the class, and teaches them about how rules work and
how to learn successfully together.

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

Paste pieces of evidence of classroom rules that work in class. You may also put pictures to the
physical space and learning stations which contribute to the effective implementation of classroom
management.

In this picture, we can see ow the classroom rules are effectively implement during the
flag ceremony for the grade seven students. It is a great example of students following
instructions by lining up neatly and attentively listening to the proceedings. This demonstrates
their discipline and respect for the rules not only in the classroom but also during important
events like the flag ceremony. It reflects the school’s commitment to instilling values and
orderliness in students from a young age, which can positively affect their overall behavior and
development.

In this picture, we see how the classroom rules affect the grade seven students. The
teachers’ rule is simple if students are too loud; they have to stand with their hands up. It teaches
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 76

students to be quite and attentive during class discussions. His rule also helps the students to
learn about responsibility and respect, making the classroom a better place for everyone.

In this picture, we can see how classroom rules positively affects students’ behavior
during class discussion. The rule implemented here is simple; if student participates well they
receive rewards this encourage students to be more attentive in class. It shows that when rules
include positive reinforcement, students become more engage and motivated to learn. This can
lead to better understanding and retention of lessons creating a more vibrant and interactive
learning environment.

ANALYZE

Analyze the routines set by the Resource Teacher by answering the following questions.

1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class? Why? Why not?

Absolutely, routines can help make sure a class is well behaved and organized but
whether they work or not can be different. Routines work well because they make things
organized and predictable, which help student know what is expected and feel at ease in a class.
But if routines aren't used well or or aren't right for the class and students, they might not work.
If routines are consistent or are too strict they might not be good at keeping the class in order.

2. Which of those routines where systematic and consistently implemented? Explain your
answer.

I believe that both routines of checking the attendance and keeping the classroom clean
where systematic and consistently implemented. For attendance, the teacher follow a set of
procedure every day. At the beginning of each class, a teacher would call out the names of the
student and mark their attendance. This systematic approach ensures that attendance was
consistently monitored without any lapses. Similarly, for keeping the classroom clean, there was
a systematic schedule in place the teacher and student had daily, where the designated specific
task to maintain cleanliness such as assigning different students to clean the board, floor, and
empty the trash, arrange chairs and clean the hallways. This routine is consistently followed
that's why the classroom is consistently clean.

REFLECT

Reflect on the various routine observe.

1. Which of the routine will you most likely apply in your class? Why? Why not?

In my class, there are two important routines that I will use these are taking attendance
and maintaining a tidy classroom. Checking attendance helps; we keep track of how students are
doing, ensures their safety, and let us communicate with parents or guardians when needed.
Keeping the classroom clean is also essential for creating a good learning environment that help
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 81

students focus and feel comfortable. I believe that these routines can teach responsibilities and
discipline while making the classroom organized and inviting for learning. I would also like to
add a morning meeting routine into my class because it does not only promotes academic growth
but also nurture the well-being of my students

Activity 6.2 Listing Down Classroom Rules

Resource Teacher: Hanna Marie L. Payba Signature: ___________


School: San Pablo National High School Grade/Year Level: Grade 7
Date: October 11, 2023

OBSERVE

Observe a class and list down the classroom rules formulated by the Resource Teacher.
Cite the importance of these rules.

Classroom rules are imperative and must be reinforced for learners' safety and security.
Rules also teach discipline and self-control. Rules eliminate stress and will provide a more
pleasant, secured and non-threatening environment. Rules in sure the students' engagement and
focus in their classroom activities.

Classroom Rules Importance

Be honest and avoid cheating trustworthiness and a strong sense of what's
right. Cheating is a problem because it's top
students from really learning and using they
are supposed to learn

ANALYZE
1. Analyze each given rules. What circumstances led to the formulation of the to the k rule?
Following the classroom rules has many important benefits. Being on time help students
learn about being on time, and managing their time and being responsible. It also helps them
learn without is disruptions. Respecting teachers and classmates make the classroom a nice place
where everyone can trust each other and get along well. Raising your hand before speaking keeps
things organized and fair and it teaches patience. Keeping the classroom clean and neat helps
everyone learn better and teaches responsibilities and being organized. Finally being truthful and
not cheating is important because it make sure that test and assignments are fair and it teaches us
to be honest and do the right thing.

2. Are classroom rules important?


Classroom rules or indeed essential. They create structures and order in the learning
environment, ensuring a focus and disruption free space. These rules foster a positive atmosphere
where values like respect, honesty and cleanliness are valued, promoting effective learning and
collaboration. The rules also teaches vital life skills such as punctuality, responsibility, respect,
and integrity that are applicable in various life situations. Moreover, this classroom rules
establish clear expectations for behavior reducing confusion and help instill ethical values that go
beyond the classroom impacting students personal and professional lives positively.

REFLECT

Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher. Will you have the same
rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your answer.

As a teacher I get most of the same classroom rules because they helped create a good
learning environment but I also make some changes because on what way student needs
being on time is important but I understand if some students have trouble with that
sometimes. Everyone should respect each other, and I will teach how to be kind and listen to
others. Raising hands before talking is a good rule but I also want students to feel free to talk
at the right time. Keeping the classroom clean and organized is also important. I will teach a
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 83

student how to take care of the classroom together. Lastly being honest and not cheating is
very important, and I will explain why it is crucial to do your work honestly. Therefore,
overall my purpose is I want to make sure the classroom is a welcoming place for my student
and that they learn not just academically but how to be a good people.

Physical and Personal
Aspects of Classroom

FS 1 7 Management

SPARK Your Interest

This Episode tackles classroom management and discipline. It focuses on the personal
physical aspects of classroom management which are central to teaching and therefore must be
consistently implemented.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 identify the two (2) classroom management; and


 determine the classroom management strategies that the Resource Teacher
employed in his/her class.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers
use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive on tasks and academically productive
in class.

Importance of Effective Classroom Management

 increases chance of student success.


 paves the way for the teacher to engage students in learning.
 helps create an organized classroom environment.
 increases instructional time - creates consistency in the employment of rules and
regulations.
 aligns management strategies with school wide standards.
 decreases misbehavior in the classroom.
 gives student boundaries as well as consequences
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 88

Two aspects of Classroom Management.

1. Personal Classroom Management consists of managing your own self to ensure order
and discipline in your class. It includes:
1.1 . voice
1.2 . personal grooming
1.3 . attendance
1.4 . punctuality
1.5 . personal graciousness

Managing yourself as a teacher contributes to the order and well-being of your class.

2. Physical Classroom Management consists of managing the learning environment.


Attending to these physical elements of the learning environment ensures the security
and order in the class. It includes:
3.1. ventilation
3.2. lighting
3.3. acoustics
3.4. seating arrangement
3.5. structure / design of the classroom
3.6. physical space/learning stations
Some Effective Classroom Management Strategies

1. Model to the students how to act in different situations.


2. Establish classroom guidelines
3. Document the rules.
4. Refrain from punishing the entire class
5. Encourage initiative from class
6. Offer praise and rewards
7. Use non-verbal communication
8. Take time to celebrate group effort
9. Let students work in groups
10. Interview students to assess their needs
11. Address bad behavior quickly

Identifying Personal and Physical Aspects of Classroom


Activity 7.1 Management
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 89

Resource Teacher: Jaderey Lasaga Teachers Signature: ___________


School:___San Pablo National High School Grade/Year Level: Grade 7__
Date: October 13, 2023

OBSERVE

Observe a class and interview the Resource Teacher. Ask how the personal and physical
aspects of classroom management ensure proper classroom management and discipline. Check if
these aspects were observed in the classroom.

ASPECTS OF CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT YES NO


1. Personal Classroom Management
1.1 Is the teacher well-groomed that he/she demands respect from the
learners.

1.2 Is the teacher’s voice modulated and can be heard by the entire class?

1. 3 Was the teacher present in class?

1.4 Did the teacher arrive on time in class?


1.5 Does the teacher exude a positive attitude towards in teaching?
2. Physical Classroom Management

2.1 Is the classroom well-ventilated?


2.2 Is the lighting good enough?
2.3 Is the classroom free from noise?
2.4 Does the seating arrangement provide better interaction?
2.5 Is the design/structure of the room inviting to classroom activities?
2.6 Is the physical space/learning station clear from obstruction?

ANALYZE

Analyze the different elements of personal/physical classroom management and answer the
following questions?

1. How does the voice of the teacher affect classroom instruction?

The teacher's voice is important. If the teacher's voice is clear and not too quiet, it helps
students understand what is being taught and keeps them interested. If the teacher's voice is hard
to hear or not clear, it can confuse students and make it harder to learn. Based on my
observation, since the noise is the one main problem in the classroom, the teacher is using a
device with small microphone and speaker in order for students to hear the teacher’s voice
clearly in the class.

2. How does the punctuality of the teacher affect classroom discipline?

Being on time is important for the teacher and students. Base on my observation, the teacher
always come on time but sometimes students come early at school to do their duty, which is to
clean the classroom and area. When the teacher comes to class on time, it shows that they care
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 90

about teaching. It also helps to keep the class organized. If the teacher is late, it can disrupt the
class and make students feel like the teacher does not care, which can lead to behavior problems.

3. Why do we need to check on the physical aspects of classroom management?

It is essential to check the physical aspects of the classroom in order to create a


comfortable and effective learning environment. A well-ventilated and well-lit classroom
helps students feel more comfortable and focused. Keeping the classroom quiet is important
because noise can be distracting and disrupt learning. The way the desks and chairs are
arrange can make it easier or harder for students to work together and learn. A classroom that
looks inviting and well organized can make students feel more positive and excited about
learning. Ensuring that the classroom is free from obstructions is crucial for safety and easy
movement. All these physical aspects contribute to a better learning environment.

REFLECT
Reflect on the aspects of personal and classroom management.

1. What does this statement mean to you as a future teacher? Explain.


“No amount of good instruction will come out without effective classroom management”.

As a future teacher, the statement means that even if I have great lessons to teach, they
will not work well if I cannot control and organize the class. Imagine you have a treasure map
with amazing treasures hidden on it, which is like having great lessons to teach. However, if you
do not have a good plan and the right tools to find the treasures (that is effective classroom
management), you might get lost and not find the treasures. Therefore, as a future teacher, I need
to make sure I have a solid plan to manage my classroom well, just like a skilled treasure hunter
who knows how to follow the map to find the hidden gems of knowledge.

2. What are your plans in ensuring effective classroom management?

My plan to ensure effective classroom management is to be well prepared and organized.


I will set clear rules and expectations for my students so they know how to behave. I will use a
kind and firm approach, like a friendly coach, to guide them. If there are any problems, I will
address them calmly and consistently. I will also create a positive and welcoming classroom
environment so that students feel happy and excited to learn. Good classroom management is
like having the right recipe to make learning successful.

ANALYZE

Analyze the checklist you have accomplished and answer the given questions.

1. How many strategies were employed by the Resource Teacher? Did these contribute better
classroom management? Explain your answer.

The Resource Teacher employed 10 out of the 18 listed strategies. These strategies
included modeling behavior, establishing classroom management, documenting rules,
encouraging initiative, offering praise and rewards, using non-verbal communication, celebrating
group effort, letting students work in groups, interviewing students to assess their needs, and
addressing bad behavior quickly. These strategies likely contributed to better classroom
management by creating a positive and structured learning environment, fostering student
engagement, and addressing individual student needs.

2. What were not used by the Resource Teacher? Were these important? What should have been
used instead? Explain.
I will not say that the Resource Teacher do not use these strategies, but as an observer,
we haven’t got the opportunity to observe it in class especially that we have different schedules
also to tend to. However, I believe these strategies included refraining from punishing the entire
class, considering peer teaching, assigning open-ended projects, and writing group contracts.
While these strategies can be important in certain situations, their absence may not necessarily
mean poor classroom management. Instead, the Resource Teacher might have found success
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 93

with the strategies they did employ, suitable to the specific needs and dynamics of their
classroom.

REFLECT
As a future teacher, reflect on the observation then answer the given question.

1. What classroom management strategies do I need to employ to response to diverse types of


learners?

As a future teacher, I need to employ a combination of classroom management strategies


to address diverse types of learners. This means using strategies like modeling behavior, setting
clear rules, encouraging student initiative, offering praise and rewards, addressing behavior
issues promptly, and continuously engaging students. It is important to be flexible and adapt
these strategies to meet the unique needs of each student, ensuring that the classroom is a
positive and inclusive environment where everyone can learn effectively.

Understanding the School Curriculum

FS 1 8 Close Encounter with the School Curriculum

SPARK Your Interest

Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to design total learning
activities appropriate for each team in each grade level. Thus, schools have recommended
curriculum which is the enhanced K to 12 curricula. The recommended curriculum was translated
into written curriculum like books, modules, teachers' guides, and lesson plans which are the basis of
the taught curriculum. A teacher who implements the curricula needs support materials (support
curriculum) to enhance teaching and learning so that the written and the taught curricula can be
assessed (assessed curriculum) to determine if learning took placed (learned curriculum). However,
there are so many activities that happen in schools but are not deliberately planned. This refers to the
hidden curriculum.

A classroom teacher plans, implements, and evaluates school learning activities by preparing a
miniscule curriculum called a lesson plan or a learning plan. The teacher then puts life to lesson plan
by using it as a guide in the teaching-learning process where different strategies can be used to
achieve the learning objectives or outcomes. There are many styles of writing a less plan, but the
necessary parts or elements such as (a) Learning Outcomes (b) Subject Matter (c) Teaching --
Learning Strategies, and (d) Evaluation or Assessment should always be included.
All of these elements should be aligned so that at the end of the teaching-learning episode,
learning will be achieved with the classroom teacher is a guide.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to.


 identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting.
 describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning, implementing lessons
through different strategies and assessment of learning outcomes; and
 analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching strategies and
assessment

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

School Curriculum: What is this about?


From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school in this course limits such definition of total
learning outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called school. Schools are formal
institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are the learners and the teacher.
Basic education in the Philippines the Department of Education or DepEd and the
recommended curriculum is the K-12 Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic
education schools offering kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10,
Junior High School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.
What are the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It is a
curriculum that:
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 98

1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue,
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of contextualized lessons and addition
of issues like disaster preparedness, climate change and information and communication
technology (ICT) are included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and
values, attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject,
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main language in studying and
learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will become ready for higher level skills,
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a spiral progression
where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they study the complex ones in the
next grade level. The progression of topics matches with the developmental and cognitive
skills. This process strengthens the mastery and retention,
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education in Grade 12 will
be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of careers will be defined when they go
to Grade 11 and 12,
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduates the learner will be ready to
embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall that a school curriculum is of
many types for the kindergarten to Grade 12 in the country.

• The enhanced curriculum K to 12 curriculum is the Recommended Curriculum. It is to


be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.
• When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency standards of the
K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects the substance of RA
10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the teacher's class it is the lesson
plan. A lesson plan is a written curriculum in miniscule.
• What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life to the
written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The guidance of the
teacher is very crucial.
• A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects, gadgets,
laboratory, and many more that will help the teacher implement the curriculum. This is
referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
• To find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the lesson plan, an assessment
shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the lesson. The curriculum is now
called the Assessed Curriculum.
• The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned Curriculum.
Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates accomplishment of learning outcomes.
• However, there are unplanned curriculums in schools. These are not written, nor
deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include peer influence, the media,
school environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and many more. This
curriculum is called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.

So, what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school
curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic education?
Teachers then should be multi-talented professionals who

• know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above.

• write the curriculum to be taught.

•plan the curriculum to be implemented.

•initiate the curriculum which is being introduced.

•innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated.

• implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 99

• evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

society.

ANALYZE

Which of the seven types of curriculums in the school setting is easy to find? Why?

The recommended curriculum is relatively easy to find in the school setting because it is
publish in official documents by the school, district, or state education department. These
documents are typically accessible online and in print. It serves as a broad guideline for what
students should learn at each grade level, making it readily available and easily accessible to
educators, parents, and the public.

Which is difficult to observe? Why?

The hidden curriculum is hard to see because it is not written like other school plans. It is
a document or value that students learn from things around them, like how they should act, what
is cool, and what they see in the media. These lessons are not obvious and cannot easily
measured. To understand the hidden curriculum, you need to talk to students and others to find
out what they think and feel, as it is a complex and hidden part of their learning experience.

Are these all found in the school setting? How do curricula relate to one another?

Yes, each of these curricula makes reference to the students' learning. They all focus on
students' learning and are like different parts of a bigger educational picture.

Draw a diagram to show the relationship of one curriculum to the other.

The Recommended Curriculum sets the foundation and guidelines for what students
should learn, influencing all other curriculum types. The Written Curriculum is the lesson plans
created by teachers based on these guidelines. The Taught Curriculum is what actually happens
in the classroom as teachers follow their written plans. The Supported Curriculum includes
textbooks and materials aligned with the written and taught curriculum. The Assessed
Curriculum evaluates student learning, reflecting the quality of teaching and support. The
Learned Curriculum represents what students take away from their education. The Hidden
Curriculum subtly shapes students' values and beliefs, although it has not explicitly planned. In
this diagram, it highlights the interconnectedness of the various types of curriculum within the
educational system. It emphasizes that the recommended curriculum forms the basis for all other
aspects, but the hidden curriculum plays a more subtle and indirect role, impacting students in
less obvious ways. Understanding these relationships can help educators design more effective
and holistic educational experiences for students.

Write a paragraph based on the data you gathered using these key questions?
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 103

1. How does the teacher whom you observed compare to the ideal characteristics or
competencies of global quality teachers?

The teacher I observed exhibited many of the ideal characteristics and


competencies of a global quality teacher, including effective communication,
adaptability, student engagement, and a strong knowledge of the subject matter.

2. Was the lesson implemented as planned? Describe.

The lesson was implemented mostly as planned. It was so well-organized that


the students actively participated in class since it was so engaging from the start.

3. Can you describe the disposition of the teacher after the lesson was taught? Happy and
eager? Satisfied and contented? Disappointed and exhausted?

The teacher appears happy and content despite not finishing the task because she
believes the students have understood the lesson. This positive outlook encourages the
teacher to continue with confidence in her teaching approach.

4. Can you describe most students' reactions after the lesson was taught? Confused? Happy
and eager? Contented? No reactions at all.

The students are enthusiastic and upbeat, particularly because some of their
activities involve performance tasks, and they are eager to observe their own performance
and learn from the results.

REFLECT

Based on your observations and tasks in Activity 2 how will you prepare your lesson
plan? Make a short paragraph on the topic.

Based on the observations and insights from the teacher I observed and the engagement
of students in the lesson, I will incorporate seven different curricula, three of which have the
same primary purpose and are aiming towards the same curriculum, which is the curriculum that
was advice to followed. Additionally, more elements of effective communication, adaptability,
and engagement into my lesson plan. It is clear that a well-organized lesson plan can greatly
affect student participation and enthusiasm. Additionally, I will emphasize the importance of
evaluating student understanding and providing opportunities for them to assess their own
performance, as this seemed to contribute to their enthusiasm and learning. The positive
disposition of the teacher after the lesson is a valuable reminder of the importance of maintaining
optimism and confidence in teaching. Therefore, my lesson plan will focus on creating an
engaging, organized, and adaptable learning environment, and I will prioritize assessing both
student understanding and his or her own performance to enhance their enthusiasm and learning
outcomes.

REFLECT

What lessons have you learned in developing or writing a lesson plan?

When developing a lesson plan, it is crucial to take into account the setup and
organization of the classroom. This is significant because it plays a vital role in ensuring that
students are focused and engaged with the material. Even if your lecture is captivating and well
prepared, an inappropriate classroom arrangement can hinder their ability to pay attention and
actively participate, making it less likely that they will be motivated to do so.

What value will it give to the teacher if the three components are aligned?

The instructor will get the value of success if the three components are aligned. This
alignment ensures that the material is delivered in a way that engages students, the classroom
setup supports the teaching methods, and the objectives are clear and achievable. This, in turn,
results in increased student engagement, better time management, and improved classroom
management, making the teaching process more efficient and productive for both the teacher and
the students.

III.Discussion/ Lesson Proper INTRODUCTION

1. Purpose:
- Imaginative Writing: This form of writing is primarily focused on creative expression. It
aims to entertain, inspire, or provoke emotions in the reader. Common examples include
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 109

fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction.


- Technical/Academic Writing: This type of writing is primarily informational and
analytical. It serves to convey facts, theories, and arguments in a clear and concise manner.
Common examples include research papers, essays, and technical reports.

2. Audience:
- Imaginative Writing: The audience for imaginative writing is often a general readership.
Writers aim to engage the reader's imagination and emotions, so the focus is on storytelling
and creating a vivid, sensory experience.
- Technical/Academic Writing: The audience for technical and academic writing is typically
experts, scholars, or those with a specific interest in the subject matter. Clarity, precision, and
the use of specialized terminology are essential in this context.

3. Style and Tone:


- Imaginative Writing: This form allows for a more creative and expressive style. Writers
can use literary devices, figurative language, and vivid descriptions to create a mood or
atmosphere. The tone can range from poetic and lyrical to humorous or dark, depending on the
author's intentions.
- Technical/Academic Writing: The style is typically more formal and objective. The focus
is on conveying information accurately and logically. The tone is often neutral and detached,
with an emphasis on data, evidence, and analysis.

4. Structure:
- Imaginative Writing: The structure in creative writing is flexible and can vary widely
depending on the genre and the author's creative choices. It may follow traditional narrative
structures, or it may experiment with non-linear or fragmented storytelling.
- Technical/Academic Writing: There is a standardized structure in academic and technical
writing, typically following a format that includes an introduction, literature review,
methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion. This structure ensures that the information is
presented in a logical and systematic manner.

5. Language:
- Imaginative Writing: Creative writers have more freedom to play with language. They can
use metaphor, simile, and other literary devices to enhance their prose and create vivid
imagery.
- Technical/Academic Writing: The language used in academic and technical writing is more
formal and precise. Jargon and technical terms are common, but they should be defined or
explained when necessary to ensure clarity.

6. Sources and Citations:


- Imaginative Writing: Creative writers do not typically rely on external sources and
citations. Their work is a product of their own imagination and creativity.
- Technical/Academic Writing: Academic and technical writers rely heavily on external
sources and must follow specific citation styles (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago) to give credit to
the original authors and provide evidence for their claims.

In addition to these differences, it's important to note that there are other forms of writing, such
as business writing, journalistic writing, and persuasive writing, each with its own unique
characteristics and purposes. The choice of writing style and approach depends on the writer's
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 110

goals and the intended audience for the piece.

IV.APPLICATION

Individual Activity: Provide an academic research paper or article abstract and identify the
elements that make it technical/academic writing.

Group Activity: "Imaginative vs. Technical Writing Scavenger Hunt"


 The class is divided into small groups.
 Each group is given a list of excerpts from various texts, which include examples of
both imaginative and technical writing.
 The groups are instructed to carefully read these excerpts and categorize them as either

ensure quality instruction. It also focuses on the intended learning outcomes which set the
direction of the lesson. They must be (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and
Time-bound) and formulated in accordance with time-tested principles. It also determines the
teaching method used by the Resource Teacher whether (inductive or deductive) which is the
practical realization or application of an approach. This episode dovetails with the course on
Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
► identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the principles of teaching
Learning.
► determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied in
instruction.
► judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART.
► determine whether the intended learning outcomes are achieved at the end of the lesson.
► observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher, and
► differentiate the different methods of teaching

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning


1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes,
2. Learning is an active process, "What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand."
3. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the
opportunity to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with real world
experiences and with their own lives.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.
A teaching method consist of systematic and orderly steps in teaching-learning process. It is the
practical realization or application of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified
either as deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

principle of learning
1. Effective learning begins with the
setting of clear and high expectations The resource teacher introduce the objective
of learning outcomes of the lesson first.

2. Learning is an active process


The resource teacher employ a student-
centered activity like by using engaging
teaching strategies and encouraging students
to participate actively in the learning process.

3. Learning is the discovery of personal


meaning and relevance of ideas The teacher utilize the Generalization
Process. This involves helping students
extract the broader concepts or key takeaways
from the lesson. Moreover, the resource
teacher also utilize student reflection on the
lesson.

4. Learning is a cooperative and a


collaborative process. Learning is Student engagement through a group
enhanced in an atmosphere of discussion to explore observations and
cooperation and collaboration challenges, and through presentations and
group projects.

ANALYZE

1. What principles of learning were most applied?

Most Applied
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 116

The learning principle that is frequently put into practice is "learning is a


cooperative and collaborative process." The resource teacher consistently structured the
class in a way that encouraged students to share their thoughts comfortably. They
engaged in discussions, exchanged ideas, and presented their solutions collectively.

Least Applied

The learning principle that saw the least application is "learning is the discovery
of personal meaning and significance of concepts." This is because the instructor
predominantly dominated class time by sharing their own opinions and discussing the
topic, leaving limited room for students to explore and find personal meaning in the
concepts.

Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?

The principle of cooperative and collaborative learning can be applied in


instances such as group projects, class discussions, and peer teaching, fostering a
collaborative learning environment. The principle of discovering personal meaning and
significance of concepts can be implemented when students relate the subject matter to
their own lives, choose research topics aligned with their interests, and engage in self-
reflection, making the learning experience more meaningful and personalized.

REFLECT

From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?

I agree that both learning with personal meaning and relevance and
collaborative learning are essential. The first principle is crucial because when students
find personal meaning and relevance in what they are learning, they are more motivated,
engaged, and likely to retain and apply the knowledge. This principle makes learning
more meaningful and applicable to their lives. The second principle, which emphasize
cooperation and collaboration, is also vital because it promotes a supportive and
interactive learning environment where students can learn from each other and build
essential social and problem-solving skills. These principles, when applied together,
create a holistic and effective learning experience.

Yes, SMART objectives make lessons more focused because they are realistic and
achievable for students. They also relate to things we do in our everyday lives.

REFLECT

Reflect on the

Lesson learned in determining SMART learning outcomes


Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 118

The lesson I learned in determining SMART learning outcomes is the importance of


setting clear and specific goals, it should deal and touch our life achievable and very
timely. By making objectives Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-
bound, it becomes easier to stay on track and ensure that learning is effective. This
approach helps students and educators focus on what needs to be achieved and provides a
sense of direction. It also highlights the relevance of the goals to real-life situations,
making learning more practical and meaningful. In essence, the SMART framework serves
as a valuable tool for enhancing the quality and effectiveness of education.

into the teaching.

What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:

meanings.

b) Inquiry-based

c) Developmentally appropriate-learning activities fit the developmental stage of children

d) Reflective

e) Inclusive- No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.

f) Collaborative- Students worked together

g) Integrative- Lesson was multidisciplinary- e.g. In Science, Math concepts were taught
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 120

ANALYZE

1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the
test?

I believe that the consequences of teaching purely for subject mastery and tests
could lead to rote memorization and a lack of practical application. Students might
struggle to connect what they learn to real-life situations and may not develop critical
thinking skills.

2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or
student-centered? Why?

If I were to reteach the observed classes, I would adopt a student-centered


approach. This approach encourages active engagement, critical thinking, and real-world
application, which are essential for effective and meaningful learning.

REFLECT

Reflect on
Principles of teaching worth applying

The principles of teaching worth applying encompass a student-centered approach,


emphasizing active engagement, critical thinking, and real-world application. These
principles promote a dynamic learning environment where students take ownership of
their education, fostering a deeper understanding of the material and better preparing
them for life beyond the classroom. By embracing these principles, educators can inspire
a lifelong love for learning and empower students to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

Post proofs of learning that you were able to gain in this Episode. You may attach the
lesson plan (s) used by your Resource Teacher to show intended learning outcomes and the
method used in class.

As a pre-service teacher, my experience with the 4A's lesson plan has taught me the
importance of clear, measurable learning objectives and the need to align activities and
assessments with these objectives. It underscores the value of being organized, adaptable, and
reflective in lesson planning. Through my observations, I have learned that effective teaching
involves more than just delivering content; it is about engaging students, assessing their progress,
and continuously improving teaching methods to ensure meaningful learning experiences. This
structured approach not only benefits students but also helps me grow as an educator by
promoting thoughtful, goal-oriented teaching.

EPISODE

FS 1 10
SPARK Your Interest
This Episode centers on the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
methods. It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and
teacher education curriculum are focused on outcomes, standards, and competencies. This means
that lessons must be delivered with focus on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode dwells on types of
questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of questions
that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and reacting to student responses have a
bearing on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories learned in the course,
Teaching Methods, and Strategies and in other professional subjects in Education.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to.
►identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
strategies
►determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with outcome-based
teaching and learning
►identify the Resource Teacher's questioning and reacting techniques
►outline a lesson in accordance with outcome-based teaching-learning

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods.
1. Learning is an active process
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students' everyday life.
7.An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of
information.

Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards and Competency-Based teaching with its K to
12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has
been ahead of DepEd and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of
Competency.

Standards-Based Teaching and Assessment. CHED requires all higher education


institutions in the country to go Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the CHED Memo 46, s.
2012. Outcome-Based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE applied in the teaching-learning
process. It is equivalent to competency-Based and Standards-Based teaching and learning in
the K to 12 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL, you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in
turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In other
words, is OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives). Then
you determine which teaching learning activities (TLAs) and also assessment tasks (ATs)
you would have to use to find out if you attained your ILO’s.
In lesson planning, the ILOs are our lesson objectives, the TLAs’ are the activities we use
to teach and the ATs are the evaluation part.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery learning
of Benjamin Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE and OBTL.
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 125

Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have the mastery of the art of
questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instruction.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.

Types of questions that Teachers Ask


1. Factual/Convergent/Closed/Low Who, What, Where, When questions with
level one acceptable answer

2. Divergent/Open-ended/High Open-ended; has more than one acceptable


level/Higher order/Conceptual answer
Have you learned something from our
a. Evaluation
discussion?

e.g., When the phone rang and Liz picked it


b. Inference up, she was all smiles. What can you infer
about Liz?

What is the difference between sound and


c. Comparison silence

d. Application Create a video of proper handwashing.

e. Problem-solving What can you do to be healthier?

3. Affective e.g., How do you feel?

These are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:

1. Providing acceptance feedback


2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/ expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as “okay”, “right”

ANALYZE

What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing?

The question of the best method of teaching is a complex and often debated one.
There is not a one-size-fits-all answer because the effectiveness of a teaching method can
vary based on factors such as the subject matter, the age and learning style of the
students, the educational goals, and the context in which teaching takes place. What may
work well for one group of students or in a particular situation may not be as effective in
another. Effective teaching methods often involve a combination of approaches and
strategies to cater to the diverse needs of students. It is essential to be adaptable and use
different methods based on the learning objectives, the students' preferences, and the
resources available.

REFLECT

Reflect on this question.

How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lesson?

To choose the right teaching strategy for a lesson, think about what you want your
students to learn, how they learn best (seeing, hearing, doing), the subject, and the
resources you have. Consider your classroom environment and your expertise as a
teacher. Be open to feedback and adjust your methods if they are not working well. In
short, there is no one best method, but you should pick strategies that fit your situation
and goals while keeping your students in mind.

Activity 10.2 Determining Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning

Resource Teacher: Jaderey Lasaga Teachers Signature_________ ___________


School:___San Pablo National High School Grade/Year Level: Grade 7__
Date: October 13, 2023

OBSERVE
Observe a class and answer the following questions.

1. Did the teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning outcomes (ILOs)
beginning of the class? Did he/she share them with the class? How?
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 128

Yes, the teacher clearly stated the learning objectives at the beginning of the class
and shared them with the students. This was done by writing them on the board and
discussing them briefly.

2. What teaching-learning activities (TLEs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs help
him/her attain his/her lesson objectives/ILOs? Explain your answer.

The teacher used a variety of teaching-learning activities, including interactive


discussions, hands-on experiments, and group work. These TLAs were highly
effective in helping students achieve the lesson objectives/ILOs because they engaged
students actively and allowed them to apply what they were learning.

3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/are these align to the lesson
objectives/ILOs?

The teacher employed well-aligned assessment tasks, such as quizzes and a final
project. These assessments closely aligned with the lesson objectives/ILOs, providing
students with the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding and skills in a way
that directly related to what they had been taught.

ANALYZE

What are your thoughts about Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL)?

Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) is a valuable approach because it


places a strong emphasis on defining what students should know or be able to do by the
end of a lesson or course. Clearly stating learning objectives at the beginning of the class
helps provide a roadmap for both the teacher and the students. Assessment tasks that are
closely aligned with the objectives provide meaningful feedback on students' progress.
However, in the observed class, there could have been more explicit alignment between
the objectives, teaching activities, and assessment tasks.

REFLECT

Reflect on the use of OBTL.


OBTL is an approach that helps ensure that education is goal-oriented and
focused on achieving specific outcomes. To make the most of OBTL, it is essential for
teachers to clearly communicate learning objectives at the beginning of the class and
design teaching activities and assessments that directly align with these objectives. This
alignment creates a cohesive and effective learning experience for students, as they know
what is expected of them and can see how their activities and assessments relate to their
learning goals. In the observed class, there was room for improvement in terms of explicit
alignment between these elements, which could enhance the learning experience for the
students.

ANALYZE

1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as question marks and leave school as
periods! “Does this have something to do with the type of questions that teachers ask
and the questioning and reacting techniques that they employ?

Yes, Neil Postman's statement highlights the impact of educational practices,


particularly the types of questions teachers ask and their approach to fostering
curiosity. When teachers predominantly use closed, factual questions with clear
answers, it can discourage students' inquisitiveness and reduce them to passive
recipients of knowledge, transforming them into 'periods' - accepting the information
as final. In contrast, if teachers encourage open-ended, thought-provoking questions
and employ techniques that stimulate critical thinking and curiosity, they can help
students retain their 'question mark' nature, fostering a lifelong love of learning and
inquiry.

REFLECT

Reflect on
The importance of using various reacting techniques

Using a variety of reacting techniques is important. It helps in different situations


because not all situations are the same. Reacting techniques are like tools for good
communication and problem-solving. They include skills like listening well, speaking up
confidently, showing empathy, and adapting to the situation. By using different
techniques, you can choose the right one for the moment. For example, in a fight,
listening and being understanding can help calm things down. However, in a negotiation
or a leadership role, being confident and clear is often better. Using these techniques
helps you build better relationships and make smarter choices in your personal and
professional life.

Moreover, using different reacting techniques is super important for growing as a


person and doing well in your job. When you can change how you communicate
depending on the situation, you are more likely to succeed in your personal relationships
and at work. For example, at work, knowing when to be confident and when to listen
Hanna Marie L. Payba FS 401 Portfolio 131

carefully can make the difference between a successful deal and a bad one. In personal
relationships, being understanding and showing empathy can make your bonds stronger
and help you solve problems more peacefully. Therefore, the key is to use various
reacting techniques to handle different parts of life well.
