_________________________________________________________________
Analyze
The examples above describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the learners
are in the same room or space while in the second, the learners maybe in different learning
spaces like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases parks or under the trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for learning?
Choose between Learning Environment 1 or Environment 2.
Explain your choice: Why?
I choose learning environment 1, where students can ask questions, participate in group
discussions, and engage in school activities. They miss face-to-face education due to the
pandemic, but believe it is enjoyable, meaningful, and allows children to understand the
teaching-learning process. They believe online education cannot replace face-to-face education
for children's full potential.
Reflect
Based on my noticing and analysis, I realized that

a) Face-to-face learning is more effective than online learning as it allows children to
engage in hands-on activities and interact with their peers.
b) As a teacher, it is my duty to create a conducive learning environment that fosters a
positive learning experience for students.
c) As a teacher, I must be prepared for potential pandemic scenarios, including delivering
modules at students' homes and creating a conducive learning environment.
OBSERVE
What probable problem may result from the two situations of the learning environment?
Students are experiencing difficulties with internet connectivity in rural areas.
What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?
As a teacher, it's crucial to interact with students, create plans A and B, communicate
with parents, be creative, understand one's profession, and be adaptable to ensure the
future of students is in their hands. This includes visiting students at home, implementing
effective learning strategies, and being mindful of their needs.
PLAN
How should I do it? I must prioritize children's needs and seek advice from the principal,
parents, local leaders, and instructional materials. I should adjust teaching abilities based on their
circumstances and adapt to a two-learning environment. This includes seeking advice from the
principal, meeting parents, seeking intervention, and creating instructional materials.

Enhancing a Face-to-
6 Face Learning
Environment
Given the concepts and the infographic, how can you participate and assist in a face-to-
face learning environment?
As a future educator, I aim to create a safe, fair, comfortable, and conducive classroom
environment for face-to-face learning. I will encourage student participation, encourage them to
share their ideas and opinions, and develop social, creative, and analytical thinking skills.
Utilizing various teaching strategies and technology, I believe, will enhance the learning
experience, and encourage reflection and exploration.
Notice
Having been exposed to the traditional classrooms in your basic education, it seems that
everything is familiar. However, as teaching-learning theories evolve over time there are changes
that are taking place.
What changes have you noticed in the face-to-face classroom spaces?
Classroom Environment Before Classroom Environment Now

Teachers utilized traditional materials such as We are now using a Power Point presentation.
Manila papers and cartolina in their teaching
methods.
They only have a green board and chalk in A classroom has a smart TV and sometimes a
front of the classroom. projector that the teacher can use.
Students are strictly prohibited from bringing Students are now allowed to bring their
any gadgets. gadgets.
A teacher has complete control over the Students have the freedom to explore and
learning process of their students. discover new things while also having control
over their learning process.
Analyze
What do you think brought the changes in the face-to-face learning environment now?
The integration of technology in classrooms is transforming the face-to-face learning
environment, affecting seating arrangements, space allocation, and overall learning outcomes.
From the changes that you identified, choose one that you can do. How will you do it?
My plan is to enhance the classroom layout, utilize available technologies for creativity,
remove distractions, and promote student development.
Reflect
Do you think making the learning environment conducive for a face-to-face classroom
will enable learners to achieve better learning outcomes? YES, Explain your answer.
Making the learning environment suitable to face-to-face instruction would allow

students to attain greater learning results. It assists students in improving their concentration,
reducing anxiety, and supporting their emotional well-being; it also allows them to have more
self-confidence and self-esteem. Learners are more likely to acquire more motivation when
educators build a positive learning culture, which leads to excellent learning results.
OBSERVE
What common problem have I noticed in a face-to-face learning environment?
The noisy students
Can I translate this problem into a question? How do you deal with the noisy students?
REFLECT
How would I solve the problem?
Establish classroom rules and regulations that all students must follow in order to avoid
chaos and noise.
Will it improve my teaching? YES how?
As a Future teacher I can manage students effectively by regulating classroom behavior

and educating them effectively.
PLAN
What will I do to solve the problem? Describe briefly how you will do it.
I plan to create a distinctive educational tool that promotes students' adherence to

netiquette both in and outside the classroom, fostering their morals, attitudes, and
discipline.
Work on my artifacts
Visit a school, where the learning environment is face-to-face. Prepare a detailed

report describing the face-to-face learning environment in terms of the three
components:
Physical Environment
 Is the space inside the room more than enough for learners to move about?
There's a large space in the classroom that is well ventilated.
 Does the room arrangement match with teaching-learning principles? Are there
several room arrangements in the school?
Yes, the classroom arrangement aligns with teaching-learning principles.
 Are the visual displays attractive and so they stimulate learning?
Yes, the school boasts numerous visually appealing displays that effectively
stimulate learning.
 Are the school premises safe and is the classroom space free from hazards?
Yes, the school and classrooms are secure due to the presence of a guard who
monitors areas posing a threat to students.
 Are the learners comfortable in terms of light and ventilation?
Yes, I can say that the learners are comfortable of light and ventilation.
Psychological Environment
 Are there sets of rules and procedures followed? What are these?
Yes, the school has many rules and procedures that must be followed. Some of
these include wearing appropriate uniform or clothes (dress code) inside the
school and wearing an ID when entering the school building.
 Are there sets of expectations that can motivate the learners to learn?
YES
 Are these observables in the classroom? YES

PORTFOLIO ENTRY
Title: The Face-to-Face Learning Environment
Describe the physical environment:
The physical environment of a classroom should be designed to maximize learning

opportunities and engagement for all students, using the Universal Design for Learning
concept. This includes providing accessible materials, books, and space for wheelchair-using
students.
Describe the psychological environment:
The psychological environment in the classroom fosters the exchange of ideas, opinions, and
attitudes, encouraging students to learn and ask questions, promoting a one-sided and
challenging educational journey.
Describe the social environment:
A well-designed social environment in a classroom supports positive interactions between

children, teachers, and family members, enabling adults to help children achieve their social
goals. Teachers must plan activities accordingly.
Notice
Unlike the traditional face-to-face environment, online or virtual environment is a bit
difficult to manage. It is because Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is imaginary and not in
the physical sense. It has no corners or walls and it can be set up with the support of technology.
As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class?
As an observer in an online class, I learned that managing online classes is challenging, but we
must find a solution. Despite the fact that everything would be done online, the first step would
be to create rules and regulations. My students' participation will be recorded, and I will use
synchronization and offbeat to provide them sufficient time to complete their activities.
How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
Students consistently arrive on time, raise their hands, pay attention, ask probing questions, and
actively participate in online virtual classes, demonstrating active participation.
Analyze
Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of on-line learning environment?
Check one or more.
/ It was difficult to observe the physical behavior of the students.
/ It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform.
/ Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
/ Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a conducive environment.
Reflect
As a future teacher I feel that the on-line learning environment can be safe if
The instructor effectively defines online security for students, equipping them with
knowledge and skills for secure online habits and ethical internet usage, ensuring their
safety even when not working on schoolwork.
I think that teaching is virtual learning environment is

For me, it will be interesting and exciting because I will be able to present my lessons
using a variety of software apps and online tools. On the other hand, I believe virtual
teaching is difficult because I only have a basic understanding of digital learning systems.
As a result, to learn how to utilize those apps, I'll need to attend webinars or seminars.
OBSERVE Identify the problems brought about by the on-line learning environment.
 Social Isolation.
 Limited access to technology.
 Individuals who are computer illiterate are unable to access the system.
REFLECT How would you solve this problem?
Implementing a strong innovation integration strategy in the classroom can solve the problem of
access restrictions due to hardware or network issues. Adequate resources and fast internet
connection are crucial for successful implementation. During crisis, the government should
support students and ensure no one is denied education.
PLAN What initial plan do you intend to do to solve the problem?
The plan that I intend to do to solve that problem is to stay in touch with teachers, record course
sessions, encourage students to do their best, and avoid distractions. To avoid missing lectures,
plan breaks and stick to a learning schedule. A home internet connection is essential. Consider
seeking assistance from your organization and specialized software and devices for effective
learning. Keep your instructor in mind during problem-solving.

followed/ compiled with?
The classroom cleanliness and students' moral character were primarily maintained,
promoting respect for teachers and students, and using positive language.
2. What elements in your plan were the most difficult to implement? Why?
Implementing classroom rules and procedures can be challenging due to the type of
learners being handled, but they serve as an agreement between teachers and students.
Reflect

How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using apps?
When selecting applications, it is best, in my opinion, to utilize an app that
the children are already familiar with. There will be no time wasted in
order to ensure that the lecture proceeds well. And I chose the apps based
on how valuable they are to children and how popular they are.
Notice

I am confident in organizing and implementing an app for teaching and learning but am
still working on mastering popular applications.
2. What do I still needed to learn in order to use apps in teaching-effectively?
I emphasize the importance of understanding the appropriateness of specific programs

for different class topics, as not all applications are suitable for all subjects.
3. What can do I learn more about and practices the use of educational apps?
I believe that regular use of educational applications, both through reading and practice,

Resource or Reference about the Topic Key points/findings in what I read
https://elearningindustry.com/key-lms- An LMS is only as good as the people using

challenges-practical-guide-for-school-leaders it, and problems with interaction are a
common issue that can lead to users becoming
unhappy with the platform. This leads to a
loss of productivity and work satisfaction
https://www.edsurge.com/news/2016-04-08- A distance learning environment minus the
the-trouble-with-learning-management physical presence of teachers or classmates
may not be as exciting as being with friends
on campus. Also, it takes away the sense of
urgency and gives students a false sense of
time management. This could lead to
procrastination. Most students start the
learning process fully engaged and committed
to the goal.
https://www.collegevaluesonline.com/online- Learning online and in isolation can be very

education-challenges/ demotivating after some time. This raises
concerns about distance learning and adds to
the challenge for students. Attending classes
on time and completing all assignments on
time requires a lot of motivation and
discipline. Some students are naturally
inclined to handle these issues while staying
motivated in the online environment. But
some students struggle with time management
and student engagement.

PLAN
If you will conduct an action research, what will be the title (base this on your answers in
nos. 1-3).
ACT
What strategies/solution/means can you employ to improve the situation/solve the
problem?
Analyze
 Did the formative assessment tasks help students master what they were expected to
learn?
Assessments often aid students in enhancing their comprehension of their academic

strengths and weaknesses.
 Was students’ response to formative assessment exercise favorable or unfavorable? Why?
Formative assessment enhances academic achievement by providing regular feedback to

students and teachers, helping them bridge the gap between their current knowledge and
their learning goals.
 Did the conduct of formative assessment and self-assessment affect students’ attainment
of learning outcome? How?
Formative and self-assessment positively impacts students' academic performance, self-

awareness, and overall learning outcomes by increasing academic improvement, explicit
criteria for self-evaluation, and making performance improvement practices intrinsic to
ongoing learning.
 What was the affect of students assessing their own progress on their motivation to learn?
This leads to students being more self-evaluative and overestimating their capacity to
identify their strengths and weaknesses in their learning habits.
Reflect
How would attainment of learning outcome be affected if there were no formative assessment
nor self-assessments?
Assessment is crucial in determining if education goals are being met, impacting

decisions on grades, placement, advancement, instructional needs, curriculum, and
funding. It prompts questions about teaching what is being taught and promoting better
learning. Today's students need critical thinking, analysis, and inference skills, changing
the relationship between assessment and instruction. Teachers should actively participate
in assessment decisions.
OBSERVE
1. One thing that went well in the development / use / administration of formative
assessment tasks (assessment for learning) is
In a well-established classroom, students actively participate in their learning, judge the

success of their work, and take responsibility for their own progress.
2. One thing that did not go very well in the development use / administration of formative
assessment tasks (assessment for learning) is
Formative assessment, often viewed as time-consuming, can actually be a valuable tool

for learning, as it doesn't require extensive time to complete.
3. One good thing observed in students’ self-assessment (assessment as learning is
This strategy enhances performance, motivation, self-regulation, feedback literacy,

evaluative judgment development, and lifelong learning by promoting reflection and self-
reflection.
4. One thing in student’ self-assessment (assessment as learning) that needs improvement

based on what were observed is
Self-assessment involves asking specific, relevant questions, as not every question is

relevant and cannot be asked and answered in the world.
REFLECT
The formative assessment activities went well because
Formative assessment involves setting learning goals and measuring progress towards
them, which can boost motivation.
The formative assessment activities process did not go well because
Formative assessment is crucial for differentiation and ensuring impact and effectiveness
in modern teaching. Teachers are equipped to handle the challenge of assessing all
learning levels.
For the students, self-assessment worked because
This method promotes students to stay within their zone of proximal development,
allowing them to learn without being too much pressure or frustration.
5. For the students, self-assessment did not work because
Self-assessment can be subjective, time-consuming, and unfamiliar with assessment

criteria, potentially leading to over-evaluation and under-reporting of students'
performance.
ACT
To ensure that formative and self-assessment process serve their purpose, to help
students learn, I will learn from other’s best practices by researching on
Formative assessments aid teachers in monitoring student progress, identifying areas of

difficulty, and adjusting teaching methods to ensure students stay on track.
PLAN
To help improve formative and self—assessment practices, I plan to conduct
action research on this title “An Action Research Study of Student Self-Assessment in
Higher Education “
Compile activities/techniques in formative assessment and in self-assessment used by
your FS Research Teacher in the classes you observed. Include your annotations/improvements
on the assessment tasks.
Add other activities/technique that you have researched on e.g. TED Talks on
assessment.
LEARNING EPISODE Using Traditional and
Authentic Types of
17 Assessment for
Formative and
Summative Purposes
Notice
1. Take note of:

 The alignment of the different assessment task/s both paper-and-pencil
(traditional) and non-proper-and-pencil tests (authentic) used to assess the
learning outcomes.
 The quality of both traditional and authentic assessment tasks used (if constructed
in accordance with principles of test construction/assessment task development.
 The students’ comments/reaction/response/behaviour while doing both traditional
and authentic assessment tasks.
 The CT’s comments/reaction/response/ behaviour while giving both traditional
and authentic assessment tasks.
 The assessment tasks used for formative purposes (to ensure lesson understanding
and mastery) and for summative (grading) purposes.
 Your own feelings and thoughts as you assisted your CT:
- Formulate the assessment tasks.
- Administer the assessment.
Analyze
1. Are the assessment tasks aligned with the learning outcomes?
The teaching methods and assessment are designed to align with the learning activities
aimed at achieving the desired learning outcomes.
2. Did teacher make use of both traditional and authentic assessment tasks?
Teachers find traditional assessments easier to conduct and score, benefiting them as they
provide quick results.
3. Are the traditional and authentic assessment tasks (written tests) formulated in
accordance with principles of test construction?
Traditional assessment involves learners choosing answers, while genuine assessment
involves real-life tasks based on the given object, offering an alternative to manufactured
evaluations.
4. Were the assessment tasks for formative purposes also used for summative purposes?
Why or why not?
Formative assessments are a collaborative partnership between teachers and students,

guiding and advising learning, unlike summative evaluations which measure knowledge
or recall.
5. Where were assessment results students better – in the results of traditional or authentic
assessment?
Authentic evaluations offer numerous advantages over traditional testing, particularly in

assessing higher-order thinking skills required for learning goals.
6. Which assessment activity/activities did the students like more? Like least? Why?
Students enjoy participating in assessment activities that involve information collection

techniques, strategic questioning, feedback, and peer and self-evaluation.
Reflect
How can I make the assessment process more meaningful to and more acceptable to
students?
Reflect on class concepts, assess key skills, consider learning objectives, and student outcomes.
Provide performance standards, evaluation options, and involve students in classroom planning
discussions. Teach peer and self-evaluation, using scoring criteria.

OBSERVE
1. One thing/Some things that went well is/are in the development/use/administration of
assessment tasks are …
The evaluation should challenge all students, align with their goals, and include clear
criteria, ensuring equity for all children, including those with special needs.
2. One thing/Some things is/are that did not go very well in the
development/use/administration of assessment tasks are …
School assessments can demotivate students, but they provide a better understanding of
their current proficiency level and strategies for improvement.
REFLECT
This part of the assessment process went well because ….
The learning outcomes should be clearly defined and identified.

LEARNING EPISODE
Grading and
18 Reporting
Notice
1. Take note of:
 The individual students’ scores in relation to established criterion of
success or cut-off score;
 Parents’/guardians’ participation and comments during Card-Giving
Day/Parents’-Teachers’ Conference
 Your own feelings and thoughts as you assisted your CT:
- Score tests and compute grades

- Prepare for PTC
- Respond to queries and other concerns raised in the PTC
Analyze
1. What are the teaching implications of the students’ test scores and grades?
Teachers can effectively support student learning by intentionally planning, supervising,

and responding to student responses during classroom discussions, thereby reinforcing
comprehension and reducing test scores and grades.
2. In what subjects did students perform best? Poorest?
I believe that identifies English and mathematics as the most challenging subjects for
students, as they often struggle with language interpretation and problem-solving, making
them challenging to engage in.
3. How was the PTC attendance of parents and guardians? What does this imply?
Attending a parent-teacher conference fosters effective communication between parents

and teachers, allowing for effective handling of student behavior and academic reports.
4. What parents/guardians’/comments were most common during Card-Giving Day?
Parents expressed satisfaction with their child's study performance and gratitude towards
the instructor, while also discussing strategies to improve their child's grade and achieve
the expected grade.
Reflect
What personal message do I get from these students’ scores, grades and
parents’/guardians’ PTC attendance and comments?
The instructor's discussion revealed that some parents and students appreciate the teacher's
grade-giving efforts, while others question the lack of progress. The teacher assists parents in
enhancing their students' abilities.
OBSERVE
1. One good thing that I observe in scoring/grading/Parents-Teachers Conference was
The teacher should inform students about grading methods, stating achievement-based
grades, and avoid prejudice. Students should review evidence and give better grades if
unsure.
2. One good thing that did not go very well in scoring/grading/Parents-Teachers Conference
was
Parents who failed to attend school are puzzled as to why their children received the
grades they did.
REFLECT
The scoring/grading/Parents-Teachers Conference went well because
The teacher and parents had a positive relationship due to the teacher's willingness to
answer questions in a clear and understandable manner.
The scoring/grading/Parents-Teachers Conference did not go well because
Some parents arrived late for the meeting, missing the start of the exchange between the
teacher and other parents.
ACT
To ensure that the scoring, grading and the conduct of PTC serve their purpose, i.e. to
ensure that students learn, I will read researchers on … or view video on ….
Further study or observation is required to enhance the effectiveness of parent-teacher
conferences, ensuring seamless scoring and contact, and improving student learning.
PLAN
To help improve scoring, grading practices and the conduct of PTC, I would like to
conduct action research on The study utilizes various methods to understand skill development,
including studies, observations, and interviews, and employs strategies like grading and PTC to
motivate teachers and parents.
Compile samples of scoring and grade computation that you did. The tests and
products/portfolios that you score and Students’ Report Card must belong to the same students to
see development. Include snapshots of PTC s and list of parents’/guardians’ comments during
PTC and how these comments were addresses.

_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can the
slow learners be helped? How will it be done?
Example response: I think most of the activities are very competitive. There are
always, winners or losers. The smart students overrule the poor students thus often
they continue to be losers. With this situation, I believe, that I should modify my
classroom strategy.
 Write your reflective response to the problem you stated:
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________
C. Plan for Action

Key questions:
- What will I do as a teacher to solve the problem?
- How will I describe my intervention, innovation, or actions to be

identified problem?
- How long will I take to introduce the intervention?
- With whom shall I work?
- What materials do I need?
- Are methods, participants, data collection, time tables considered in

my Plan for Action?
Example response: my plan is to introduce cooperative learning in the classroom. I create a

mixed ability grouping with fast, average and slow learners in their activities. I will rotate the
leadership in the group, so that each one will have a chance. The bright will assist or help the
slow ones. I will try out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone in with my students. I need
only tables and chairs or if not available, arm chairs arranged in circles will be an alternative.
