FS 2 1
We Remember
Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to:
 Cite the personal qualities of an effective teacher
 State the professional competencies expected of a teacher
Clarify Your Task

Before you embark on your one semester journey in Observation and Teaching
Assistantship, it may be good to be reminded of the personal and professional qualities which
we, teachers ought to possess. Striving to be the best teacher, the teacher who will leave an
imprint of himself/herself on his/her students, is a never-ending story journey. The journey
began three years ago when you started discussing who the professional teacher is in your
course on The Teaching Profession, etc, etc. The journey gets more focused and challenging
now as you observe and assist in your Field Study Resource Teacher. Don’t you worry! You
have been prepared for this for three years and you will end up stronger, happier, and wiser!
Let’s buckle down for work!

1. You will review the qualities of good teachers as contained in documents such as the
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPSTs) and the Southeast Asia
Teachers Competency Framework and the Code for Professional Teachers.
2. You will view on youtube 2 TEDx talks on “What makes a good teacher great” and
“The Power of a Teacher”.
Participate and Assist

(Note to Student Teacher: As you participate and assist your FS Resource Teacher in
her daily task, please take note of what you are expected to give more attention to as
asked in the next step of this Learning Episode, NOTICE).
Participate actively by assisting your Resource Teacher in his/ her daily task. Take the
initiative to offer your assistance. Don’t wait for your Resource Teacher to ask for it.
Notice
1. Take note of the following:
 Your Resource Teacher comments, facial expressions, gestures and actions in class
 Students’ comments, facial expression, gestures and behavior in class
 How your Resource Teacher relates to you?
 The classroom proceedings
 The classroom atmosphere – relaxed of threatening?
Analyze
1. From the PPTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx videos
that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
* Based from the PPST, SATCS and TEDx, the competencies that a great teacher should
have are the following. He/she must be a good communicator and an active listener. A great
teacher knows when his/her learners struggle, and they're keen observer. A great teacher
loves to teach and love to learn, chill always, and demonstrate good behaviour in class. A
great teacher think like an adult and act as a kid. A great teacher isn't a teacher which means
a teacher should not just limit learning inside the classroom setting. A great teacher
understands that students has a life outside the school. A great teacher sings and make
themselves humble before students. They take risk and put aside their fear to try. Lastly, a
great teacher deeply understand their students.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?
* These competencies are not limited to professional competencies because these can also
improve the personal growth of a teacher. As the personal competencies of a teacher
improves it is more on being professional.
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a
lesson, execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades?
Explain your answer.
* No, professional competencies are not enough to make an effective teaching and learning
process. It should start first on the personal competencies of a teacher in order to be great
such as being patient. If a teacher demonstrate only professional traits, he/she might not give
the proper treatment to his/her students or there must be something missing. The application
of personal competencies makes teaching become more effective. In planning, executing,
managing and assessing the class we should always make sure that it was aligned to the K-
12 curriculum competencies. We must create activities that is suited and helpful in achieving
learning outcomes, portrays/model good character in class which students can follow and
value. The essence of personal competencies matters because professional competencies are
linked on it.
Reflect
Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I need improvement in?
* The personal traits I possess is being creative, adaptable, great penmanship, good listener,
emphatic, passionate, disciplined, approachable, reflective,collaborative, open-minded,
good-learner, reliable, and good character. .For me, I still need to improve my
communication skills and patience.
Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?
* For me, the professional competencies I'll be strongly capable of demonstrating is the
mastery of the lesson, because once I know everything about the lesson, I'll be able to think of
strategies that is useful in teaching. Along with the different professional competencies, I
think I'll be able to demonstrate most of it by continuous practice and reflection. I will not
stop there, because learning is continuous.
In which competencies do I need to develop more?
* With the different personal and professional competencies of a teacher, for me I need to
develop more my patience and interpersonal skills. I also need to improve more my skills in
using different kind of technology so that I can create more engaging activities that promotes
fun and enjoyment for my students while learning. I still need to enrich my personal qualities
because that's the only way to become a great professional.
Who are the teachers that we remember most?

* For me, the teacher that we remember the most is the one who touch our hearts and bring
changes to our lives. A teacher who's warm-hearted, kind, considerate and treat us like their
own child. They're the ones who is dedicated on their profession despite of the heavy
responsibilities on their shoulders. We remember the teachers who act as a best friend of
ours who listens not just hear about our problems and circumstances in life. The teacher we
remember the most is the ones who lightened our way to a better future.
Write Action Research Prompts
OBSERVE
1. In assisting my Resource Teacher, I observed that personal traits such as being
innovative, adaptable, resourceful and professional competencies like using different
methods and strategies in teaching students, application of differetiated activities and big
and small group works were least/ not displayed and as a result, students were/ class was
already used to the flow of their class discussion and activities. They already expect that they
will do the same method and that can result to decrease in motivation and boringness to the
learners.
REFLECT
2. The lack of these personal traits and professional competencies (mentioned in #1) may be
caused by lack of materials to support the teaching and learning process, busy schedules of
the teachers caused of too much paper works, and the influence of traditional teaching
method.
PLAN
3. I would like to address this problem (mentioned in #2) by conducting an action research
on the impact of active learning methods in the classroom where students are the ones who
construct their own learning and teacher provides engaging activities to the learners.
ACT
a.) The main objective of my action research is to improve the teaching practices and
learning experience of the learners and provide intervention to the problems encountered by
the teacher.
b.) My specific research questions are:

1. What are the methods and strategies used by the teacher in teaching the class?
2. What factors affects students motivation and participation?

Doing Action Research: An Overview
Every Teacher is an action researcher. Everyone can do it. Teachers and students can
do it together.
This episode focuses on doing action research as one of the roles of the teacher. Every
teacher should tale interest to know how students learn to make innovations in the curriculum
and desires to improve teaching practice. In order to achieve these, a teacher has to do action
research on the everyday practical problems. These problematic situations and observed
discrepancies emerge between what is intended and what actually occurs in the classroom.

You must have experienced in your past subjects, doing some activities or
accomplishing tasks similar to an action research. These are activities that required you to do
Reflection and Make Action or the other way around. Schon (1987) distinguishes Reflection
in Action or Reflection on Action as two different things.
Perhaps your mentor teacher has already done an Action Research. Now is the
opportunity for you to participate and assist in ways that you are capable of doing.
Here is what you will do.

Reflect
Based on the readings you made and the previous activities that you have done,
1. What significant ideas or concepts have you learned about action research?
I learned that action research is useful in improving not just the school setting but also the
teaching practices of teachers. It was conducted by future teachers and the ones who's
already on the field in order to address problems and provide better teaching and learning
experiences. I learned that action research will have a great impact on the betterment of the
school and performance of the students according to the concept and problem being
observed. I also learned that as a teacher, I must be a keen observer so that I can identify
problems and conduct an action research about it for the purpose of improvement.
2. Have you realized that there is a need to be an action researcher as a future teacher?
Yes ✓ No ___. If yes, complete the sentence below.
I realized that as a future teacher, I must know how to conduct an action research so that I
could contribute on the improvement of the school. There's a need for me to become an
action researcher because it helps me to become a better teacher everyday, provide better
learning activities and address learning gaps that may arise to students.
OBSERVE
From what teaching principles of theories can this problem be anchored?

 I have observed and noticed that Action Research begins with a problem or a
problematic situation.
Write an example of a problematic situation that you have observed and noticed.
* One of the problems I have noticed occurs on the teaching practices of the teacher
wherein she used the same type of activity everyday which reduces child's interest.
REFLECT
What have I realized? What do I hope to achieve?

I realized that for every teaching learning problem, there is a solution.
Write a probable solution to the problematic situation above.

* As an action researcher, a teacher must not stick into one strategies all the time.
She can use varied teaching techniques and activities such as play, differentiated
activities, hands- on activities, group works, exploration and so many more to
increase motivation and participation of the learners.
PLAN
What strategies, activities, and innovations can I employ to improve the situation or
solve the problem?
 As a future action researcher I can plan for an appropriate intervention like the
integration of active learning through play, differentiated activities, small and big
group works,etc.
ACT
If I conduct or implement my plan, what can be its title?

Nelson, 2014.
Clarify Your Task

Understanding and Using Action Research Concepts and Processes
The definition of action research evolved over time. There is no singular definition of
action research. Anchored on the idea of inquiry by John Dewey several other authors have
advanced the concept of action research. Action research is a type of inquiry that is:
 Practical as it involves making changes to practice.
 Theoretical as it informed by theory and can generate new insights.
 Concerned with change and improvement.
Action research has been embraces in education for its value in transforming school
practices by the practitioners themselves. It is used to address practical problems in the
classroom. It is a process that allows teachers to study their own classroom and school setting
to improve their effectiveness. Teacher Action Research (TAR) is a method for educational
practitioners (teachers, school leaders) to engage in the assessment and improvement of their
own practice. It is a tool to help classroom teachers consider their teaching methods or to
adopt a strategy in order to solve everyday problem in the school setting.
Here are some questions and answers that you need to know.
1. What are the Core Characteristics of AR (Tichen, 2015)?
 Systematic – Like any form of research, it follows a system.
 Rigorous – It has rigor, meaning a strict adherence to the rules of empirical studies.
 Reflective - It follows a continuous reflection and action.
 Situational – It is more specific to the location (school) circumstances (teaching and
learning, etc.)
 Participative – AR can be participative where teachers and learners are co-researchers.
 Future-oriented – It seeks solution to current problem for future improvement.
2. Why is Action Research useful to me as a Teacher Researcher?
 AR can help me to learn how to improve my practice as a teacher in terms of teaching
methods, classroom management, preparation of the learning environment,
developing instructional materials and assessment.
 AR can help me learn more about a wider range of research methods that I can use in
the future.
 AR can provide me more space to think deeply about the issues that confront teaching
and learning.
 AR can help me engage with my mentor and peers to enable me to improve my
teaching practices through action research.
 AR can help me develop new knowledge which is directly related to my are of
specialization.
3. What types of classroom action studies that I can engage in?
 Creating changes in the classroom practices. Example: What changes will daily
writing have on my students?
 Establishing effects of curriculum restructuring. Example: Will the use of mother
tongue enhance the reading skills of my learners?
 Enhancing new understanding of learners. Example: What happens when students get
demotivated?
 Teaching a new process to the students. Example: How can I teach third graders to do
reflection?

helps me to become a better teacher everyday by providing solutions to the problems
that affects the teaching and learning experiences. Doing it will also improve my
personal and professional growth as I solve the problems that hindrances teaching
and learning.
How can AR be useful for every classroom Teacher?
 Action Research is useful for every classroom teacher by means of

providing better teaching techniques and activities to the learners. It
helps in creating intervention that addresses learning gaps to students
and teacher can use action research to create effective learning
environment for the learners.
OBSERVE
Remembering my classroom observations in FS 1, I noticed that there are many

questions that I raised in my mind. These include:
a. Does learners really learn on the same strategy used by the teacher?
b. Why does the teacher doesn't used varied activities while teaching her students?
c. What are the possible ways to address frustrations to the learners?
REFLECT
Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to
solve the problem or answer the question, like:
A. Giving assessment before,during, and after the discussion as generalizations
B. Learners can easily understand the concept using that specific activities.
C. Teacher can integrate group works or peer teaching for the students to collaborate and
help each other to finish an activity.
PLAN
Now, that I am in FS2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem B because
frustrations in learning makes it difficult for a students to learn. It will impact their learning
once it is not addressed.

Matching Problematic Learning Situations with Probable Actions as Solution
Identifying a problem is a tricky task. Action research begins with identifying a
problem. Oftentimes, it is one of the difficult things to begin with. When a researcher was
asked: “Have you identified a problem for your action research?” Common answer will be:
“My problem is that, I do not have a problem.” Ironical, isn’t it?
If you observe and notice closely the teaching-learning environment in the classroom,
you will discover of lot of problematic situations. You must have also observed these
problematic situations when you did your FS 1 course.
But matching these problems with appropriate action is trickier.

What five problems have you identified from the words that you have encircled? Make a
statement. Write in the space below.
Excellent! Let us see how we can assist and learn ate the same time.
Suppose, the problem you have spotted is: COMPREHENSION.
How can you assist your mentor, after knowing that the learners have difficulty in
comprehension?
Make a Choice for your ACTION.
A. Conduct a tutorial lesson.
B. Show video lessons to help enhance comprehension.
C. Make a learning task to develop comprehension.

A creative and innovative teacher can find one or more than one solution or answer to
the same problem. Each solution matches with the problem. The more solutions identified to
choose from, the better for an action research.

Let us try to look into the following scenarios in the daily life of a teacher. This
scenario might also be similar to the class you have observed and noticed.
Scenario A: Miss Fely is a grade four teacher in a typical elementary school. She has forty
learners in her class. One half of them cannot classify animals into vertebrates and
invertebrates. She has been repeating the same science lesson for two weeks, yet no progress
was observed. This situation has been bothering Miss Fely.

Overview of the Learning Environment
A learning environment, traditionally called the classroom, is a space in a school that
supports student learning. It is a self-contained area where teacher teaches and children learn.
In the classroom are chairs or tales for students and a front table for the teachers. This is a
traditional face-to-face classroom. Most often the students should face the teacher as the
chairs are arranged hat way. But as teaching delivers change to enhance learning,
modification in the seating arrangement evolved ad more opportunity for the learners to move
about for cooperative learning was addressed.
A conducive learning environment should have the following characteristics:
 Flexibility – there is opportunity to have small groups, movable walls.
 Openness – Learning corners/areas which could be shared.
 Accesses to resources – Audio-visual materials are ready and open for use.
 Physical classroom – Space is clean and safe.
 Psychological atmosphere – It is friendly and accommodating.
The classroom climate nurtures the intellectual, physical, social and emotional
development of the students.
Here are some specific strategies for developing the optimal classroom climate. You
may consider these.
1. Learning environment addresses both physical and psychological needs of the
students for security and order, love and belonging, personal power and competence,
freedom and fun.
2. Create a sense of order. For example, teacher should teach students how to
 Enter the classroom and become immediately engaged in the activity;
 Distribute and collect materials;
 Find out about missed assignments due to absence and how to make up for
them;
 Get the teacher’s attention without disrupting the class and
 Arrange desks, tables quickly and quietly for various purposes.
3. Greet learners as they enter your face-to-face or online classroom.
4. In a healthy and conducive learning environment, everybody belongs and knows each
other.
5. Encourage class building activities like games and tem activities.
6. In a conducive learning environment, success whether small or big is recognized, and
celebrated.
Both approaches, either the traditional face-to-face or online, lead to positive result
but in different ways, so usually in practice both approaches are combined
Learning environment can be traditional (F2F), virtual (on-line) or a combination (Hybrid).

At the end of this episode, I must be able to assist in the preparation of the
traditional face-to-face learning environment.
Clarify Your Task

Enhancing a Face-to-Face or In-Person Classroom Environment for Learning
In a face-to-face-classroom, students and the teacher are physically present. They
meet at a time set in the classroom. The teacher prepares activities, provides instruction and
evaluates students’ learning. Equipment and instructional materials are made available in the
classroom where teaching and learning take place most of the time.
Some of the advantages of face-to-face learning environment for the students are:
 less distraction and more concentration than when studying at home or
elsewhere;
 greater understanding and real world examples from teachers and classmates;
 greater chance of completing course work by doing it in the classroom sace;
 learn more easily and more comfortably in familiar, traditional classroom
situation;
 access more relevant information from teachers and classmates interactions
and
 greater opportunity to connect and socialize, network and solve problems
together with classmates and teacher.
Here are some characteristics of the face-to-face or in-person learning environment.

 Learning space is physical. Both the teacher and learner see and hear each
other from the same contained safe place called the classroom.
 Lessons are derived with the teacher physically facilitating. Reading
assignments are from textbooks and other resources provided or referred.
 Class meetings occur regularly on a specific time or schedule.
 Teacher leads the conversation, within a limited amount of time.
 Assessment is done face-to-face and usually during the class meeting.

Given the concepts and the infographic, how can you participate and assist in a face-
to-face learning environment?

FIELD STUDY 2 Episode Making On-line or
Virtual Learning
FS 2 7
Environment Safe
and Conducive
At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to explore the different ways of
establishing a safe and conducive on-line or virtual learning environment.
Clarify Your Task

Safe and Conducive On-line or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
Education has dramatically shifted in recent years. Schools aligned physical spaces to
flexible spaces that integrate technology to support the 21st century learning opportunities.
The modern learning environment incorporates the three elements: (1) connected devices
such as notebooks, tablets, smart phones; (2) audio visual tools including projectors and
touch screen displays and (3) purposeful furniture such as standing desks, collaborative work
stations and connected seating that allow students to learn in different ways at different times.
The on-line learning environment requires a constant access to connectivity which allows
learning to take place anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. On-line or virtual learning can be
delivered synchronously or asynchronously, so the teacher’s role is a moderator between the
technology and the students.
Unlike face-to-face, on-line or virtual learning does not happen in one contained
physical space but learners are in different imaginary spaces made possible by technology
such as computer network. Virtual classrooms refer to digital; learning environment that
allows teachers and students to connect on line in real time.
Let us now consider an on-line or virtual classroom or learning environment. What
are home safety reminders to remember?
1. Encourage parents and carers involvement. Keep parents/carers informed of how you
and the children will be using the on-line platform.
 Assist them on how to set up appropriate home learning spaces, if students
will be learning from home.
 Provide contact times and classroom schedules.
 Provide procedures to follow and consequences if they failed.
 Share information about protection from cyberbullying and image abuse.
2. Make lesson plans as interactive as possible to keep attention of students. Be flexible
with class length and topics.
 Make assignments as guided as possible. Teachers may need to source
research sites to ensure on-line safety.
 Provide students with resources. Share with your students websites and videos
so as not to take them to inappropriate materials such as ads from YouTube
and other sites.
3. Encourage public chatting. Avoid texting students one-on-one, instead send a group
text, or group chat. When using technology like zoom, google.meet, MOOCS allow
public chatting or group instead of chatting privately so that you can be part of their
conversation.
4. Use of password, log in and log out.
 All students should have individual password. This should not be disclosed.
 No one should log in as another person.
 All users log off when they have finished working.
There are more reminders to follow in the use of the digital platform for virtual or on-
line learning environment but for the meantime let us have a few. As technology
advances, so do policies and guidelines.

If you are assisting your mentor in an on-line class, these are some reminders you
should share to your remote learners on a synchronous platform like google.meet, zoom,
MOOCS or any other platforms you are familiar with and are using.
With the use of any google.meet, zoom or any platform, organize a virtual class. Do
this with the guidance of your mentor.

Notice
Unlike the traditional face to face classroom 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 concerns 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?
How did the students shows their active participation in the lesson?

Clarify Your Task

Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures
(Face-to-Face or Remote Learning)
Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and
learning. Routines don’t just make the life of the teacher easier. They save valuable
classroom time. Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.
Establishing routines early in the school year enables you to run your daily activities
run smoothly; ensures that you manage time effectively; helps you maintain time in giving
directions/ instructions; and enables you to explain to the learners what are expected of them.
Classroom routines set the foundation for a meaningful school year with teachers and
students whether in the classroom or remotely. To teach classroom routines remotely, it is
best to record videos and to post these in the learning management system so students may
watch them over and over again for better retention and for families to view them so they can
assist their children when needed.
Students can take an active role in establishing classroom routines, They can
brainstorm on ideas which they will most likely do and follow. Routines are important
especially when done in remote learning so that there will be less distractions both for
synchronous and asynchronous participation.

To ensure that I can carry out/perform my tasks efficiently and effectively in
participating and assisting my cooperating teacher in establishing routines and procedures, in
the classroom or in remote learning, I must be guided by the following questions:
1. How will I gain student attention in the classroom /remote learning?
2. What are the routines and procedures that I need to establish before, during and after my
classes whether on a face-to-face or remote learning?
3. What verbal and non-verbal communication will I use to signal that students need
help/attention in the classroom / remote learning?
4. How must students get/secure the needed work materials and books and others in the
classroom / remote learning?
5. How will students transition to group work and other cooperative activities in the
6. What procedures must be followed by students who need to attend to personal necessities
in the classroom/online classes?
7. What rules must be set for students who finish task clearly/ and for those when cannot
complete work on time?
8. What procedures must be observed for tardiness / early dismissals?
9. What procedures must be done when submitting homework / performance tasks in the
10. What procedures must be employed in movements into and out of the classroom/remote
learning?
Having these guide questions in mind, consult your Resource Teacher on the possible
assistance or participation that you can do to help her/him in doing the classroom routines.
Complete the matrix for the routines that you can employ before, during and after classes in
the classroom/remote learning to ensure order and discipline in your classes. List down the
problems which you have encountered while implementing these routines.
Notice
After doing your classroom routines and formulating your procedures; state what you
noticed by answering the following questions:
 How did you feel after employing your classroom routines and establishing your
procedures in the classroom/remote learning?
 How did your students respond to your classroom routines and procedures?
 What was the feedback of your Resource Teacher on your classroom routines and
procedures?
 Was there a change in the classroom environment/teaching-learning process after you

Clarify Your Task

Creating My Classroom/Remote Learning Management Plan
A classroom management plan is a plan that a teacher designs that sets the
expectations for every student. The purpose of a classroom management plan is to make the
students accountable for their actions. Effective classroom management increases students’
success, enhances students’ academic skills and competencies and promotes social and
emotional development.
The teaching-learning process may be implemented in various modalities. Teachers

must bear in mind that alternatives and other options may be considered in designing the
classroom remote management plan.
A good learning environment produces highly engaged students who learn more, do
more and work more. Teachers likewise become more creative and productive in their work.
Key Elements for Effective Classroom Management:
1. Classroom Design: This refers to seating arrangement, bulletin boards, display, storage
area, equipment, supplies etc.
2. Rules: These are the expectations set at the beginning of the class to foster love, care,
respect and sense of community in the class.
3. Discipline: Classroom rules must define the consequences of every action/misdemeanor in
class. This will ensure fairness and consistency in dealing with the students. This also
includes the rewards given for good behavior.
4. Scheduling: This includes time allotment given for each period and activity in class. This
will make the students to stay on time and on task.
5. Organization: This refers to the systematic arrangement of files and records and keeping
them organized always and ready for use.
6. Instructional Techniques: These are ways by which you implement your learning
content. Tailoring your techniques to the subject, grade levels and nature of the learner is
really important.
7. Communication: Consistent open lines of communication to all the stakeholders of the
school community will lead to better teacher-student teacher relationship.

key-elements-for-effective-classroom-management
In order to implement these elements effectively, a classroom management plan must

be designed. Each teacher has its own unique style of management to meet class needs,
although the same elements are found consistently. In order for a classroom management plan
to be successful, the students must have a complete understanding of each of the guidelines.
At the same time, teachers must follow their plan to ensure that the learning environment is
safe, friendly, secured and non-threatening whether in the classroom or in remote learning.

Writing my learning/lesson Plans
Lesson Plan/Learning Plan- This refers to the blueprint of the daily teaching and
learning activities. It is a step-by-step guide which helps the teacher in maintaining the
quality of instruction. Lesson plans consist of essential components such as learning
outcomes, learning content, resources and procedures. An effective lesson plan has a great
impact on the teaching learning process. It is a must that teachers plan their lessons
effectively to ensure a successful instructional experience.
There are three types of lesson plans: detailed, semi-detailed and brief. Some
schools design their own lesson plan template which includes their vision, mission, goals and
core values.
The Department of Education had provided templates for Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP)
and Daily Lesson Log (DLL). This was done to institutionalized instructional planning which
is vital to the teaching-learning process. Guidelines were formulated to assist the teachers in
planning, organizing and managing their lessons to meet the needs of the diverse learners.
Teachers must also keep in mind that in stating the learning outcomes, the three
domains must be considered (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor). Outcomes must be
stated in terms that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound (SMART).
The cognitive domain includes remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating
and creating.
When writing lesson plans, the learning outcomes, activities and assessment must be
constructively aligned. The instructional strategies used must help in the attainment of the
(subject)
learning outcomes. The modes of assessment must determine if the outcomes were attained at
the end of the lesson.
With all this information in mind, you are all set in writing your lesson plan. Based on
the instruction given by your Cooperating Teacher, prepare your lesson plan(s) based on the
learning competencies of the lesson. Consider the age appropriateness and level of
communication of your students.
Request lesson plan exemplars/lesson plan templates from your Resource teacher. If
not available, you can make use of the basic components of a lesson plan.

Delivering My Instruction
Instructional Delivery refers to the interaction among the students, the teacher and
the content for students to learn the knowledge/skills/dispositions that they will need for
further learning and for collaborating with others in a diverse society and a rapidly changing
world. The process of instructional delivery involves applying a repertoire of instructional
strategies to communicate and interact with students around academic content and to support
student engagement. (Innovation Lab Network State Framework for College, Career, and
Citizenship Readiness, and Implications for State Policy).
The process of instructional delivery involves applying a repertoire of instructional
strategies to communicate and interact with students around academic content and to support
student engagement (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2013).
The mode of delivery is an important consideration when designing learning
activities that will support students to develop the skills, knowledge and understandings
required to achieve the intended learning outcomes (ILOs), which will be assessed. The
delivery of instruction must also be responsive and relevant to the needs of the times.
These are the various Learning Delivery Modalities from the Department of
Education.
Distance Learning
This refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place between the
teacher and the learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction.
Modular Distance
Learning is in the form of individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-
learning modules (SLMs) in print or digital format/electronic copy, whichever is applicable
in the context of the learner and other learning resources like Learner’s Materials, textbooks,
activity sheets, study guides and other study materials.
Online Distance Learning
It features the teacher as facilitator, engaging learners’ active participation through the
use of various technologies accessed through the internet while they are geographically
remote from each other during instruction.
Home Schooling
This is an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) that aims to provide learners with access to
quality basic education through a home-based environment to be facilitated by qualified
parents, guardians or tutors who have undergone relevant training.
Blended Learning
This refers to a learning modality that allows for a combination of a face-to-face and
online distance learning (ODL), face-to-face and modular distance learning (MDL), face-to-
face and TV/Radio-Based Instruction (RBI), and face-to-face learning and a combination
with two or more types of distance learning.
Traditional Face-to-Face Learning
This refers to a learning delivery modality where the students and the teacher are both
physically present in the classroom, and there are opportunities for active engagement,
immediate feedback, and socio-emotional development of learners.
Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM)
Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) are tried and tested alternative modalities of
education delivery within the confines of the formal system that allow schools to deliver
quality education to marginalized students and those at risk of dropping out in order to help
them overcome personal, social and economic constraints in their schooling.
LEARNING MODALITIES
On Campus
Teaching learning happens when all the students are in the same physical space.
On-Line
Teaching-Learning activities that are managed is an online environment.
Situated
Teaching-learning activities done in field word, practicum or off site.

After you have written your lesson plan, confer with your Resource Teacher on how you can
participate/assist in delivering instruction in one of his/her classes. The Robert Gagne’s Nine Events

 Use professional reflection and learning to improve practice. (PPST 7.4.1)
Clarify your Task

We choose the most appropriate or suitable resources or instructional materials based
on our lesson objectives or learning outcomes. Even when technology-based educational
materials abound, the teacher still needs to be competent in selecting and developing
resources and materials that are not ICT-based. Teachers should know how to be resourceful
in tapping non-digital or conventional resources and materials available in the area and
situation.
Any book on educational technology or instructional materials would usually devote
some pages to Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience. It is a classic model articulating the
different types of audiovisual materials and how these audiovisual types relate to each other.
Seventy-five years ago, in 1946, Dale already identified ten classifications of instructional
materials, which remain to be relevant today, namely: (1) Direct, Purposeful Experiences; (2)
Contrived Experiences; (3) Dramatic Participation; (4) Demonstrations; (5) Field Trips; (6)
Exhibits; (7) Motion Pictures; (8) Radio/Recordings/Still Pictures; (9) Visual Symbols and
(10) Verbal Symbols.
According to Dale, “The cone device is a visual metaphor of learning experiences, in
which the various types of audiovisual materials are arranged in the order of increasing
abstractness as one proceeds from direct experiences.” As such, the Cone of Experience can
be seen more as a continuum, not just a hierarchy. It is a way to see instructional materials in
a continuum from increasing concreteness in one direction to increasing abstractness in the
other.
Jerome Bruner explained the three ways by which we can represent knowledge. These
representations are: 1. Enactive – which involves movement and physical manipulation, 2.
Iconic – which involves pictures and images; and 3. Symbolic – which involves symbols like
letters and numbers. Both the teachers and students make representations of knowledge. The
teachers, when they teach or impart knowledge, and by learners when they show or
demonstrate what they have learned.
Ideally, the more direct and real the experiences given to students to learn something,
the better is the opportunity for learning. However, it is not always possible to do so. For
instance, during the pandemic, all classes switched to flexible learning utilizing online
modalities, TV, Radio and printed modules.
As you work on this episode, remember you take role of an FS student now
participating and assisting the work of selecting non-digital or conventional resources and
instructional materials. You are not simply a detached observer, but you are now a
participant as well. You are more involved in the tasks, becoming more and more a teacher!
Be mindful that you are also developing yourself as a teacher-researcher. Always use
your capacity to notice what is going well? Or what can be missing; what can be improved?
What can be a new way of doing things? Then focus on finding out the answers to these
questions. That as a teacher, you can always find ways to do things better and more
effectively. Also, aim to develop the confidence to try and initiate to continuously improve
your skills.
Revisit your infographics on the Dale Cone of experiences showing types of
audiovisual instructional materials and the selection criteria and steps in using instructional
materials. (Today, some of these materials can be described as multi-sensory, not just audio-
visual.) They will prepare you to perform well in this episode. Go FS student, go!

Clarify Your Task
An app, (a shorter way of saying application) is a kind of software which can be
installed in various gadgets – a desktop, laptop, smartphone, and tablet. There are thousands
of apps, each with specific functions. A wide range of functions among others includes,
ordering food, getting a ride, getting a date, doing bank transaction and even praying and
meditating. Now, there are those that are directly useful for teaching and learning which can
be referred to as educational apps. Whether is face-to-face, blended, or fully online, a vast
number of apps can truly enhance the teaching-learning process.
The judicious use of apps can make the teaching-learning process more effective,
efficient, and equally important, more fun and satisfying for both the teacher and the students.
The teacher can use apps in the different stages of planning, preparation, implementation and
assessment. Teacher use apps to prepare high-impact presentations that help them deliver
content. Teachers also use apps to motivate students to participate, resulting in greater and
more enjoyable engagement. Apps are also used to assess, document ad report performance
and achievement.
Your task in this episode is to demonstrate our skills in choosing and using
appropriate applications, enhancing both the delivery of content and the learning and
mastery of the students. You will accomplish this as you participate and assist in your
resource teacher’s class. Whether the class is purely online or blended, carefully observe how
the teacher utilizes apps for e-learning.
An excellent guide for choosing applications to enhance teaching and learning is the
Pedagogy Wheel Model created under the leadership of Dr. Carrington. There were earlier
precursors, but this model appears to be the most comprehensive so far. The model aligns the
applications to four essential levers. The apps’ section considers what attributes the students
will develop, student motivation, tapping higher-order thinking skills as articulated in
Bloom’s taxonomy and at what level the app will be used in the SAMR Model. You will
recall this from your previous technology class and surely learn even more from this episode.
Apple gave a set of five criteria in selecting apps for teaching. The set of criteria
includes developmental appropriateness, motivation, instructional design, motivation and
accessibility.
It is also most likely that you have experienced learning using many of these apps, as
a student. The most popular ones are Canva, Khoot, Mentimeter, Jamboard, Slido, Google
slides, google docs, Flipgrid, etc. And then, some apps are for specific levels and learning
areas. For example, there are hundreds of as for pre-schoolers or kindergarteners, like story
books apps, alphabet and numbers apps, etc. At the same time, there are apps for math,
reading, science for primary, intermediate and secondary or even collegiate levels.
As you work on this episode, remember that you take the role of FS students now
participating and assisting this work of selecting and using apps for more effective
teaching and learning. You are inching closer to shifting the role from being a student to
being the teacher.
Additionally, you take the role of a future researcher. Always use your capacity to
notice what is going well? Or what can be missing, what can be improved? What can be a
new way of doing things? Then focus on finding out the answers to these questions. This is to
develop in you the disposition as a teacher-researcher. That as a teacher, you can always find
ways to do things better and more effectively. Also, aim to develop the confidence to try and
initiate to continuously improve your skills.
Revisit the Pedagogy wheel infographics that follow. The links and QR codes are
provided. Once you have downloaded, enjoy exploring what powers these apps have by
clicking their icons directly from the Pedagogy wheel. An infographic on Choosing Aps for
teachers is also included. Exciting!

Before you participate and assist in tasks related to apps, first enumerate the apps you
already know and have probably tried. Explore the Pedagogy Wheel and learn at least five
more. Fill out the table below.
Apps that I already know/have recently How can I utilize this in teaching – learning?

Your guide to participate and assist:

1. Interview your FS resource teacher o her experience in using apps for teaching and
learning.
2. Ask the teacher how you can participate or assist in work involving the use of
applications in one or more of these tasks:
 preparing materials,
 doing a motivational activity,
 delivering a lesson,
 engaging the learners to respond
 giving an assignment,
 making learners practice a skill,
 making the learners collaborate and
 managing the class-checking of attendance.

Clarify Your Task

The learning environment has recently radically changed. No one would have
anticipated that a pandemic would shift the four corners of the brick-and-mortar classroom to
classroom to the four corners of a computers screen, a tablet, or even a cell phone! While we
believe teachers should be competent in organizing and sing resources in a physical
classroom, a future teacher must be adept in utilizing technology to set up, design, work
and tech in a virtual classroom.
A virtual classroom is usually supported by a platform generally regarded as a
learning management system (LMS) in a flexible learning modality involving online
learning.
LMS is course organizer software. It helps teacher plan, create, manage, and deliver
online education programs (Habulan, 2016.) The most common ones are Canvas, Moogle,
Google Classroom, Blackboard, Microsoft teams, Seasaw, and our local one is Genyo.
As you have learned from your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes,
Learning Management Systems have features and functions that help teachers manage an
online classroom. These features and functions are called by different names deending on the
LMS platform.
Below are some of the LMS common features and the functions and tasks that
teachers are able to use:
1. Dashboard – allows the teacher to see all his/her class/course cards.
2. Module Container – uploads modules and organize them.
3. Sandbox – a workplace that will enable teachers to make drafts or explore the
functions and practice setting up a subject or course.
4. Announcements – communicate with students regarding instruction, reminders and
changes.
5. Discussion boards – set up discussion boards; make students collaborate
6. Meeting rooms – allow the teacher to present lessons and discuss with students
synchronously; enables learners to collaborate on a task/project
7. Assignment – allows orderly giving and scoring assignments
8. People – see who are the embers of the class, get to know the learners more through
their profiles.
9. Assessments/Quizzes – administer formative and summative assessments
10. Resources and add-ons – share and store files, use apps that support or supplement the
other functions of the LMS
Your task in this episode is to participate and assist in virtual learning

environment through LMS. Notice how the teacher organized her virtual classroom. Apply
your skills in facilitating the teaching and learning process by participating in one or more of
the teacher tasks discussed above.
In this episode, consider what you learned in your technology class about the TPACK
model. An effective teacher has technological, pedagogical and content knowledge, TK, PK,
and CK. In planning, setting up, and utilizing a virtual environment through an LMS, these
three components interface. You need to have content mastery of what you will teach (CK).
You also need to know how to facilitate the teaching-learning process from beginning
(gaining students’ attention) to end (assessment and transfer)(PK); and have technological
knowledge (TK).
When you apply your technological knowledge to deliver accurate and relevant
content using the most appropriate pedagogical strategies in the context of a virtual learning
environment, and the learners achieve the learning outcomes, boom! You have successfully
interfaced TPACK!
As you work on this episode, actively notice, analyze and reflect on your experience.
As an FS student, participate and assist will on organizing and using the learning
management system as you apply your technological, pedagogical, pedagogical and content
knowledge (TPACK). Be attentive to your role as a future teacher-researcher as well.
Continually discover more effective ways of interfacing TPACK. When you do, you will
become a teacher that initiates well-thought-of ways to improve and enhance virtual teaching
and learning.
Revisit the infographic on TPACK and how it relates to Learning Management
Systems (LMS). You may open the LMS sites on the internet to see how they are structured.
You can try-out how the different functions and tools work. It will help you recall and focus
once more on various learning management systems that serve as platform for virtual
classrooms.

1. Request your FS resource teacher or another teacher who uses an LMS for his/her
class to give you access and allow you to, “observe” his/her virtual classroom
through the LMS.
2. If possible, request the teacher to demonstrate how to navigate and use the LMS.
3. Ask the teacher how you can participate or assist in tasks that the teacher is
organizing or preparing in the LMS.
4. Be guided by the TPACK infographic in this episode. The questions found there
will help you notice, analyze and reflect very well.

 Identify features and functions of web conferencing applications that are useful to
instruction.
Clarify Your Task
The call of the times has made it more necessary for future teachers like you to
develop skills in planning, implementing and managing remote learning. One form of remote
learning is done online. Online remote learning can be done synchronous, where the teacher
and students meet and interact in real time and asynchronous, when learning is supposed by
prepared materials and there is no real time interaction between the teacher and the learners.
This episode will focus on synchronous sessions. In order to hold synchronous
classes, you will need to use web-conferencing apps. Some LMS already have these
embedded; some do not. You will need to know how to access, evaluate and utilize the
features and functions of apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype,
Blackboard, Webct, and even Messenger.
Again as in the previous episode, the TPACK Model can guide you in how best to
utilize web-conferencing apps when conducting a synchronous learning experience. Another
helpful model that can guide you is the Community of Inquiry Model (COI). This model
identified the “essential elements in an educational experience.” These elements are (1) the
teaching presence, which is about basic teaching tasks; (2) the social presence, which focuses
on establishing a sense of belonging to a community; and (3) the cognitive presence, which
fosters critical thinking and engagement.
While the educational experience referred to in the COI model may also refer to face-
to-face modality, in this episode, you will use the COI model and its three elements in the
context of online learning, specifically the synchronous class. Review the COI and the three
presences through the infographics in this episode. We also included an infographic on the
most common web-conferencing apps.
As you work on this episode, continue to take the role of a keen observer and an
explorer who seeks to learn more and discover better ways of teaching and learning.
When you notice keenly, analyze critically and reflect deeply, you will strengthen
teacher agency, which is the teacher’s capacity to create impact and exert power.

1. Request your FS resource teacher to allow you to join his/her synchronous classes Have at
least two to three times to observe the classes, and at least two or more times to participate
and assist.
2. Learn how to use the features of the web-conferencing app that your resource teacher is
utilizing. It can be part of a learning management system or a separate one, like Zoom,
Skype, etc. If possible, request the teacher to demonstrate features of the web conferencing
app. 3. Ask the teacher how you can participate or assist in tasks related to conducting the
synchronous classes.
4. Be sure to read all the questions in this episode before you start your observation and
participation. This will help you focus your attention on the essential aspects of your
experience. Have in mind the Community of Inquiry Model. The descriptors under teaching
presence, social presence, and cognitive presence found in the infographic will help you
notice, analyze and reflect very well.

FIELD STUDY 2 Episode Writing an Initial
Action
FS 2
Research Plan

At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to write an initial Action
Research Plan.
Clarify Your Task

Developing an Initial Action Research Plan
“A good plan is half of the work done” goes a saying.
Planning is an important sill that every teache3r should have Just like lesson
planning, doing research requires a double plan. It sets a direction where one is going,
how to go there, why should one go there, and above all, what is there to accomplish.
The ultimate goal of doing action research is improve teacher’s practices in

order to improve learning. It requires one to e reflective, observant, and inquiring and
must be ready to take action.
Any research action plan should be placed in writing, just like a lesson plan.
This is what we are going to do.
Clarify Your Task

The first four episodes of this FS workbook helped you learn the important purposes
and the process involved in doing action research.
The rest of the episodes focused on crucial aspects of teaching and learning. While
you assisted and participated, the episode questions guide you notice, analyze and reflect on
your experiences. You also identified issues and problems or areas of improvement and then
thought of interventions, innovations, or strategies to address them (Action Research
Prompts). You are now ready elaborate or expand these action research prompts.
In this final episode, your task is to written an initial action research plan. Any
research action plan should be planned and written well. Put together what you learned about
action research and all insights you gained in working on the past FS 2 episodes.

We said at the beginning that all teachers can make an Action Research. It is easy to
do it. Let’s try doing it. Today, you shall develop a Plan for our Action Research by
following the simple cycle.
Use the following steps of the model. Your answer to the Key Questions in each step
will guide you in making your plan.
 Step 1: OBSERVED. Observe and notice to identify the common problems.

Key questions:
 What common problem have I observed and noticed?
 Can I translate the problem into questions?
 Why is the problem important to me as a future teacher?
 Why is the problem important to the learners?
 What I have I read and learned about this problem in my previous courses?
 What do references say about the problem?
 Step 2: REFLECT: Start to reflect on the identified problem. However,

reflection is done all throughout the action research process.
Key questions:
 Is there a way to solve the identified problem? How will I do it?
 Is looking for a solution or answer to the problem worth doing?
 Will solving the problem improve my teaching practice? How?
 Will it improve my skill as a researcher and reflective teacher?
 Step 3: PLAN FOR ACTION. Appropriate action or solution to the problem in a

plan.
Key questions:
 What probable action will I make? Will my intervention be doable?
 How will I describe my intervention, innovation, or actions to address the
identified problem?
 How long will it take to implement the intervention, action or innovation?
 With whom shall I work with?
 Will the results be use of? How?
 Step 4: ACTION on the PLAN: This step will l be done during the Teaching
Internship for FS 2 if given the time. You may collaborate with your mentor or
your classmate.
Notice
Remember: Noticing is making sense of your observations and making interpretation to
adapt to the situation. It begins with paying attention that leads to interpretation and deciding
what action should be taken.
Making a capsule Action Research Plan will prepare you to undertake an actual
Action research. You will be able to assist your mentor to do similar research together.

Writing Action Research Prompt page:
Model A:
Activity 1: Developing an Initial Research Action Plan
A. Observe/ Notice
What problem/ concern have I noticed that affect teaching-learning?
Example response. The problem I have noticed is that there is a lot of competition in
the classroom. The slow learners are left behind.
 Write your own observed/ noticed classroom here:
B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can the
slow learners be helped? How will be done?
Example response. I think most of the activities are very competitive. There are
always winners and losers. The smart students overrule the poor students thus often
they continue to be losers. With 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 the identified

problem?
- How long will it take to introduce the intervention?
- With whom shall I work?
- What materials do I need?
- Are methods, participants, data collection, time table considered in my Plan for
Action?
Example response: My plan is to introduce cooperative learning in the classroom. I create

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 this out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone with my students. I
need only table and chairs or if not available, arm chairs arranged in circles will be an
alternative.
 Write your own Plan of Action Research based on the key questions. You give more
details.
D. References
Include at least 3 reading materials about the intervention that will be used.
