CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED IN PARTICIPATING ASSISTING TASK

A. Instructional Routines for an engaging Teaching-Learning Episodes.

What are the problems that you notice why sometimes Instructional Routines fail to
facilitate teaching-learning engagements? Work on an action plan that you will
implement in the future after reflecting in the effects of instructional routine
management to students’ learning progress or success.

24
Instructional routines may fail to facilitate teaching-learning engagements due to
various reasons, such as lack of student engagement, insufficient clarity or
structure in the routine, mismatch between the routine and students' needs and
learning styles, inadequate support or resources for implementation, and
inflexibility in adapting the routine to evolving classroom dynamics. Additionally,
poor communication, lack of teacher enthusiasm, and ineffective assessment of
student progress can also hinder the success of instructional routines. Flexibility,
student-centered approaches, clear communication, and ongoing reflection are
essential in addressing these challenges and fostering meaningful teaching-
learning engagements.

B. Classroom Routines and Students’ Behavior

In your experience of assisting to establish classroom routines, were there instances


of class disruptions due to the students' behavior? How did you manage to improve
students’ behavior through your established classroom routines? Consider the
problem on the relationship of students’’ behavior and teachers’ procedure as one of
the interesting topics for Action Research.

I manage the emotions during discussions because I find it very difficult to deal
with the behavior of the students because they all have distinct attitudes and
behaviors. You should set limits and exercise a great deal of patience in order to
manage their responses.

C. Exploring Management Routine Competencies

Recall your participation in maintaining management routines. You may wish to


conduct an exploratory study on the competencies of teachers in maintaining
management routines as your future research interest.

25
Management routine competencies refer to the essential skills and abilities that
managers need to effectively carry out their daily tasks and responsibilities. These
competencies are foundational to successful management and encompass a range
of areas including communication, leadership, decision-making, problem-solving,
and interpersonal skills. Here are some key competencies that managers should
focus on developing and honing in their routine.

4.2 FAMILIARIZING WITH RUBRICS OR SCORING GUIDES

Take note of the evaluative criteria for scoring the learning outputs both for written
works and performance tasks.

Answer the following;

1. Do you find using or having a rubric/scoring guide useful when you check
students’ learning outputs? Why?

Yes, using a scoring guide may be quite useful for evaluating students' learning results.
It provides standards for assessing their work, ensuring impartiality and consistency
throughout the evaluation process. Furthermore, a rubric assists students in
understanding the criteria and standards for their assignments, allowing them to self-
evaluate and improve their performance. In essence, incorporating a rubric or scoring

27
guide encourages transparency, impartiality, and constructive feedback in the
assessment of students' learning outcomes.

2. List down advantages of having a rubrics in checking students’ learning


output.

Using a rubric to assess students' work offers advantages. Firstly it brings clarity by
providing criteria for evaluating their outputs. This ensures that both students and
teachers have an understanding of what's expected. Secondly it promotes
consistency by ensuring that assessments are fair and uniform for everyone thus
minimizing the potential for biases in grading. Thirdly it facilitates feedback as teachers
can provide constructive comments to help the students to improve. This allows for
identification of areas where they excel and areas where they need to focus on growth.
Fourthly it encourages self assessment as students can evaluate their work against
the established criteria promoting metacognition and a deeper understanding of their
performance. Additionally rubrics assist in goal setting as they enable students to set
targets based on an understanding of expectations and how to achieve scores. Lastly,
having an act as a tool by providing students with a roadmap, towards success and
inspiring them to strive for excellence.

4.3 DISSEMINATION

SNAPSHOTS OF MY ASSESSING OF LEARNING PERFORMANCE

Having experience assisting your Resource teacher in assessing students’ learning


performance, make an impression on your personal view (snapshots) on how
important are the rubrics in assessing learning performances.

GROWTH PORTFOLIO ENTRY

My Reflection on the Importance of Rubrics in Assessing Students’ Learning


Performance

Assessing students’ learning performance is an essential aspect of education, and


providing effective feedback to students is crucial for their academic growth. Rubrics
play a significant role in this process as they provide clear and specific criteria for
evaluating students' work. This essay will discuss the importance of rubrics in
assessing students’ learning performance, focusing on how they contribute to
fairness, transparency, and the enhancement of student learning.

One of the primary reasons for the importance of rubrics in assessing students’
learning performance is the clarity and transparency they offer. Rubrics outline the
specific criteria and expectations for assignments, projects, or assessments,
providing students with a clear understanding of what is expected of them. This
transparency ensures that students are aware of the standards against which their
work will be evaluated, reducing confusion and ambiguity. As a result, students can
focus on meeting the defined criteria, leading to more accurate and consistent
assessment outcomes.

Rubrics also contribute to fairness and consistency in the evaluation process. By


clearly articulating the criteria for assessing student work, rubrics help eliminate
subjective biases or arbitrary judgments. Teachers and evaluators can use rubrics
to evaluate student performance consistently, ensuring that all students are
assessed against the same standards. This promotes fairness in grading and
minimizes the potential for favoritism or discrimination. Additionally, rubrics facilitate
effective communication between teachers and students, as both parties have a
shared understanding of the assessment criteria.

29
Furthermore, rubrics support the provision of constructive feedback to students,
guiding them toward improvement. When students receive their assessed work
along with the rubric, they gain valuable insights into their strengths and areas for
development. The detailed criteria in the rubric allow students to identify specific
areas where they excelled and areas that require further attention. As a result,
students can use the feedback provided through the rubric to reflect on their
performance, set goals for improvement, and make necessary revisions, leading to
enhanced learning outcomes.

Moreover, the use of rubrics encourages student engagement in the learning


process and promotes self-assessment. When students are familiar with the
assessment criteria outlined in the rubric, they can take more ownership of their
learning and gauge their progress effectively. Rubrics empower students to self-
assess their work before submission, aligning their efforts with the established
standards. This reflective practice fosters a sense of responsibility and
accountability, as students strive to meet the outlined criteria and take pride in their
accomplishments.

In conclusion, the importance of rubrics in assessing students’ learning performance


cannot be overstated. Rubrics promote clarity, transparency, fairness, consistency,
feedback, and student engagement. They serve as valuable tools for both educators
and students, facilitating a structured and objective evaluation process while
encouraging continuous improvement. By utilizing rubrics, educational institutions
can enhance the quality of assessment practices, contributing to the overall success
and development of students. Therefore, integrating rubrics into the assessment
framework is imperative for promoting effective learning and fostering academic
excellence.

TEACHERS INTERVENTION ACTIVITIES

What are some of the challenges you saw with the students that needs intervention
activities from the teacher? Name one intervention activity that you want to further
study relative to its effectiveness in addressing students’ learning needs.

In my experience, some of the obstacles I've seen in kids that need teacher
assistance include difficulty with reading fluency, comprehension, and arithmetic
problem-solving skills. Furthermore, some students may struggle with attention
and focus, causing difficulties with remaining on track and finishing homework.

Differentiated teaching is one intervention activity that I am really interested


in learning more about. This strategy entails adapting instructional techniques and
resources to meet the various learning requirements of pupils. Teachers can give
tailored support that supports a variety of learning styles, talents, and interests by
adjusting instruction's content, procedure, and outcome. I feel that greater
investigation of the effectiveness of varied education in targeting students'
specific learning requirements would be useful in enhancing my ability to support
diverse learners effectively.

PROVIDING INSIGHT ON FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO SUCCESSFUL


CLASS ACTIVITIES

1. What are the basis of your Resource Teacher in the preparation of class activities?

The preparation of the resource teacher according to my observation is that they


make a ppt of their topic and include examples like pictures so that the student can
quickly understand.

2. What are the evidence of your Resource Teacher’s success in preparing class
activities?

The success of our Resource Teacher in preparing class activities can be evidenced
through various indicators. An effective Resource Teacher's success may be
demonstrated by the engagement and enthusiasm of students during the activities,
the achievement of learning objectives, positive feedback from both students and
regular classroom teachers, and the adaptability of the activities to meet the diverse
needs of students. Additionally, successful resource teachers often incorporate
creativity, innovative teaching methods, and leverage available resources to create
meaningful and interactive learning experiences. And also, their success may vary in
the scores of their students after taking the quizzes.

6.5 DISSEMINATION

ANALYZING THE IMPORTANCE OF CLASS ACTIVITIES TO TEACH THE


LEARNING COMPETENCIES

Observing and doing personal research on teachers investing time and effort in
thinking for appropriate learning activities, write your reflection on the importance of
selecting class activities that are aligned with the attainment of the competencies on
the Most Essential Competencies (MELC’s).

GROWTH PORTFOLIO ENTRY

My Takeaways on the Importance of Activities Aligned with the flow of MELC’s

Aligning activities with the flow of MELC's (Most Essential Learning Competencies)
is crucial for optimizing students' learning experiences. By designing activities that
are aligned with the MELC's, educators can ensure that they are addressing the
most essential skills and knowledge that students need to acquire. This alignment
helps in maintaining a focused and coherent educational experience for students,
guiding them towards mastering the core competencies identified in the curriculum.

When activities are aligned with the flow of MELC's, teachers can effectively scaffold
students' learning, providing opportunities for them to gradually build upon their
existing knowledge and skills. This approach promotes a structured progression
through the curriculum, allowing for a more seamless and integrated learning
journey. Furthermore, aligning activities with the MELC's helps ensure that
instructional time is optimized, as educators can prioritize the most critical
competencies and design activities that directly support their mastery.

Overall, the importance of activities aligned with the flow of MELC's lies in their ability
to provide a clear path for students' learning, promote coherence in instruction, and
prioritize the development of essential competencies, ultimately contributing to a
more impactful and meaningful educational experience.

CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED IN PARTICIPATING AND ASSISTING TASK

SUPERVISING CLASS ACTIVITIES

What are some of the critical issues that you faced when you participated in
supervising the class activities of the students?

You can identify factors that affect supervisory practices of class activities in your
participating school as an action research topic.

The challenges and problems I encountered in supervising the class is that the other
seats are made of wood and have been eaten by termites, so they are rotting and
they have a first aid box, but the first aid boxes are not complete. There are boxes
but they do not have any medicines in them.

insights have you gained in the preparation of Lesson Plan instruction? Write your
reflection based on the given thesis statement.

GROWTH PORTFOLIO ENTRY

Successful Planning Equals Successful Teaching and Students Learning

It is preferable to have a scheduled lesson for multiple reasons. Among them is the
fact that a lesson plan facilitates concentration. It is very easy for a lesson to get
completely sidetracked or derailed in a classroom full of kids, with their short
attention spans and natural desire to disrupt everything. If you are lucky enough to
have brought your map with you, it will help you, the teacher, steer the lesson back
on course. I apologize for confusing the automobile and train metaphors there.
Children are also aware of when an instructor is unsure about what to do. They will
attack if you display even the slightest hint of weakness.Children are highly
responsive to regularity and structure, which can be provided via lesson planning.
In addition to helping you and the students stay on course, a lesson plan has
additional benefits outside of the actual classroom. You can monitor issues and
progress with lesson planning. When you use scheduled lessons, you can review
everything you've taught later since you have actual documentation of it. You can
adjust the lesson plan if students aren't understanding a certain concept, which
enables you to grow from your own errors and blunders. When students master a
particular topic, you can analyze the lesson to see what aspects of it were most
effective. You don't have to do it by memory; you may begin to learn how to be a
better teacher overall and for each specific class.

ADMINISTERING A SIMPLE OBSERVATION TOOL LOOKING FOR BEHAVIORAL


INDICATORS OF THE EXISTENCE OF A PROBLEM

A. Below is a guide to help you observe the identified behaviors of the students in the
classroom. It suggested that you do your observation on a single subject for three days.

Subject: Health Date & time of Observation: January 2024 (7:30am - 8:20am)

Students Behaviors: Put check opposite the behaviors that you observed.

1. Students not paying attention to the teacher Understand the lesson

2. Students talking to classmates Student listen carefully

3. Students not doing tasks given by the teacher Student participate to the
task.
4. Students giving wrong answers. Student answer the
question correctly
5. Students are restless Student are restless

6. Others ( Please Specify) None

B. After conducting the observation, write a short essay about your thoughts on
what could be the problem of difficulties existing in the classroom. You can also
describe the physical environment of the classroom during observation.

 During my observation in grade 7, the difficulties may exist when the student is
not interested in the lesson. Some students are not paying attention to their
seatmates. It's hard for me as a teacher if I am the one who teaches them.
Because not all the teachers are as effective as always.

C. Make a list of situations and students’ behaviors gathered from your


observations which represent problem in the classroom.

Your next task is to brainstorm with your RT, and determine which of the
problems are very significant needing immediate actions or intervention. Put an
asterisk (*) before the problem which you consider as significant. In you
brainstorming, be guided by the following points or questions.

51
1. What student behaviors tend to disrupt activities inside the classroom?

 too much aggressiveness, excited that's why they did not pay attention to the
activity instruction.

2. What problem is created by student behaviors like talking to classmates as


lesson is going on?

 they can distruct the teacher lesson,and also their classmate.

3. If students are restless inside the classroom, what could this mean?

 They can catch up the lesson and also they can make any noise or distraction

INTRODUCTION TO CLASSROOM BASED RESEARCH

9.1 EXPOSURE

A. From the above discussions, what significant lessons have you learned about
classroom-based action research?

I discovered that doing action research is an essential part of developing into a


competent educator who cares about both the professional development of
themselves and their pupils. Action research is essential for pinpointing the
shortcomings in the teaching-learning process. Additionally, it can assist us in
comprehending what is going on in our classroom and identifying modifications that
enhance instruction. By doing this, we will be able to respond to questions and offer
answers for the issues we face in the field.

9.2 PARTICIPATION

ANALYZING A SAMPLE CLASSROOM-BASED ACTION RESEARCH

B. After reading the example of the classroom-based research, answer the following
questions. Expound and discuss your answer.

1. What exactly is the classroom problem that Melinda wanted to address and solve?

 She wants to address student attention span and she can do it by putting a lot
of activities to get the attention of the student.

2. What processes helped Melinda to think of possible causes why ?

 because the teacher only focuses on the lesson, not on the student. That's why
students are less attention .

3. What processes helped Melinda to think of an action, which, if implemented, will


help address or solve the classroom problem?

 This process may help her to be more effective teacher facilitator to the student.

4. What exactly was the action that Melinda wanted to implement?

 Setting guidelines and monitoring the remedial lessons

5. What was the expectation of Melinda regarding the effect of the action she wanted
to implement?

 Melinda thinks there will be more opportunities for pupils' learning results to
gradually get better.

6. What processes did Melinda employ to find out of her expectation regarding the
effect of the action is confirmed?

 Before the actual remedial lesson began, Melinda read the directions to the
students.
 While the remedial session was in progress, Melinda strolled about and offered
each student.
 Melinda assisted any student who was struggling with the assignment.

55
 Melinda made sure to keep an eye on what each learner was doing toward the
end of the session was carrying out.

7. What are the results of the implementation of the action?

a. The noise made by people "talking and walking around the classroom" is
trending downward. Actions from the first to the sixth remedial session. A
reduction in the frequency of other "noise" behaviors were also seen. It could
be as a result of careful observation, The assignments kept the students
occupied, and they were deprived of time and opportunities to create a sound.
b. At the conclusion of the session, the students successfully finished the work
that was given to them. It used to be that they couldn't finish in the allotted time.
Additionally, with supervision and direction on challenging assignments, maybe
the students comprehended improved what they were working on, which in turn
inspired them to complete their assignments.
c. Melinda and the observer both reported that the noise level decreased during
the way remedial classes are run. This results from the decline in the quantity
of disruptive habits of students from the first to the sixth day.

8. What are the conclusions from the classroom-based action research?

 Melinda predicted that keeping an eye on students' behavior during


remediation sessions would improve their performance. Melinda anticipates
that monitoring will ultimately result in better learning outcomes, such as
completing the given tasks by the end of the session.

Upon entering different four walled classrooms, we observed that there is an
improper placement of the television. Some televisions were place in front, some
were on the left side, some were on the upper center of the chalkboard.

58
10.2 PARTICIPATION

GETTING THE FEEL OF THE EXISTENCE OF A CLASSROOM PROBLEM

Based from the situation you have identified in the exposure part, state your reason/s
why you consider it a classroom problem.

Improper placement of LED TV

Television is one of the most crucial things in the classroom nowadays, it is used
almost every time. Teachers utilize the convenience of using it, however, some of it
is not fairly placed for the students to see it clearly. It should be in the proper place
so that the students have the same distance of looking at the television since most
of the lessons are presented in it. It affects the student’s interest in learning the
lesson, the students might lose interest.

Do you think that this problem needs a solution? If yes, give your reason/s.

Yes, it should be given a solution since it’s for the learner, and we are in the learner-
centered approach. It is their right to learn, that’s why we must consider this problem
to be given solutions.

If not, what will happen if the problem is not solved?

If the problem is not solved, it falls on the teacher's techniques in teaching. The
teacher must give alternatives to still provide learning equality to the students. As a
teacher, these matter are observed especially when students start to lose interest
in listening.

DETERMINING THE BEST ACTION TO SOLVE PROBLEM

To decide on the most appropriate action to solve the problem, following are questions
you can consider as guidelines.

a. Is the action doable? Can it be done within a reasonable period of time?

b. Is the action the best or the most appropriate? Will the action benefit all pupils or a
majority of them?

c. Is the action in keeping with educational or pedagogical principles?

D. Does the action have a sound theoretical basis?

6. Student sleeping in class Make your class lively.

62
GROWTH PORTFOLIO ENTRY

DETERMINING THE BEST ACTION

In the activity presented in 10.3 Identification a problem cited was low performance
in mathematics. Discuss in group (face to face or through chat group) what possible
reasons why this is happening. In other words, what are the possible reasons why
there is this problem?

Ex. Pupils are not interested in math.


Pupils do not study their lessons.

Student different learning strategies

Every student has a different way of learning. According to Howard Gardner, there
are 7 Multiple intelligences, the students with low performance in mathematics might
not be good at logical or mathematical learning strategies.

Discuss in the group which possible above cited causes of low math performance
contributed most to the problem. Why? Cite the literature that you reviewed that
helps you determine this. List down your references.

Mathematics Anxiety

Negative attitudes towards mathematics reflect children's prior experiences with


mathematics (Dowker et al., 2016), affect students' conceptual understanding of
mathematics (Chan & Reynolds, 2022;Dowker et al., 2019), and can negatively
affect mathematics achievement

63
Decide what action to implement for that which significantly caused the problem.

Do not Pressure the students.

Some students can’t focus due to the pressure given by the teacher and classmates.
It is essential to foster discipline and be humble in mathematics class. What I mean
is that if other students easily solved the problem or understand it well, ask the other
if they find it difficult and do not move to the next lesson while leaving other students
hanging from the last lesson. This will help them to cooperate and have motivation
to learn.

DETERMINING THE CHARACTERISTICS AND PARTS OF A COMPLETED


CLASSROOM-BASED ACTION RESEARCH

Together with your co-student teacher, describe in your own words, the classroom-
based action research which you have chosen (from among the three samples) for
presentation. Describe in greater detail the steps or processes the researcher or author
has done each part. Then discuss and get reactions from your co-student teachers.
Remember this is a completed action Research.

The chosen classroom-based action research is entitled “LED TV MONITOR


IN THE CLASSROOM: A PROPER PLACEMENT OF TV MONITOR INSIDE THE
CLASSROOM”. This classroom-based research came from observation inside the
classroom. This is needed to take immediate action to provide better learning
material for students during the discussion. In order to provide immediate actions,
we need to plan the steps on how to solve that problem. First, we need to discuss
with my co-student teachers if we observe the same situation inside the classroom.
Second is, we need to talk to the coordinated teachers if they also observe the same
situation, if they see that some students are not able to see what flash in the screen
monitor because the placement of the LED TV is in the blind spot for the students at
the back of the class. Lastly, we need to talk to the principal of the school and raise
this concern or the problem that we observe. To solve this problem, the LED TV
needs to be placed in front of the class at the center part to be able to see and make
the presentation on the screen readable for all the students. This classroom-based
research is helpful and beneficial for all the students for having a better learning
using the technology in this 21st century education.

WRITING AN ACTION RESEARCH PROPOSAL

“LED TV MONITOR IN THE CLASSROOM: A PROPER PLACEMENT OF TV


MONITOR INSIDE THE CLASSROOM”

This action research aims to surface the effects of placement of LED TVs in
classrooms using a mixed method of quantitative analysis to assess teachers'
acceptability, qualitative phenomenology to describe the essence of teachers' lived
experiences, and phenomenography to structure the impact of LED TVs on students'
learning.

Schools and educational institutions are continually looking for the finest
technological solutions to live up to the promise of improved educational results as
they become more aware of the possibilities of new technology (Abuhmaid, 2014).
According to Groove (2014), it plays a significant role in the teaching and learning
process. Light-emitting diodes (LED) televisions (TVs), as a component of
technology and audio-visual media, have emerged as one of the most widely utilized
educational resources or tools inside the classroom for lesson dissemination,
according to Michigan Health System (2010).

69
The primary problem that the student teachers observe in the classroom is the
improper placement of LED TV monitors. The observers aim to find an immediate
solution by coordinating with the teachers and school principal. This would be action
by putting the LED TV in the right placement in front of the class at the center to be
able to make it readable and clear for the students what is flashing on the screen.
This would be a huge help for the students, especially those at the back of the
classroom, to have a better understanding and make the lesson easier to understand
because they can follow what the teacher discusses over the screen monitor.

11.5 SHARING AND PRESENTING AN ACTION RESEARCH PROPOSAL

Together with your Resource Teacher and co-student teacher, present your sample
action research proposal. Compare your action research proposal with your co-student
teachers and share your insights on your finished output.

My Insights On My Action Research Proposal

As a student, we’ve experienced the same scenario about the classroom-


based research that we propose. We’ve experienced the hassle of not seeing clearly
what is flashing on the screen, not participating in the class because we can’t follow
the teacher on what she/he discusses. That’s why we easily identify what is the
primary problem that we need to take immediate solutions inside the classroom. As
an observer who sit at the back of the class, it’s hard for the students to see what is
flashing on the screen because the placement of LED TV is either in the front of the
class but at the counter part, or at the center of the class but place at the top of the
table we’re the students at the back is hardly to see what’s on the screen. That’s why
it will affect the learning of the students.

As an observer who conducted this classroom-based action research, it is a


huge help for teachers to observe, identify, and realize why some students are low
on participation in the discussion because maybe this study is one of the factors.

70
That’s why we encourage and seek help in school to take immediate action on this
problem. It gives satisfaction to the student teacher observer if this problem is
addressed immediately for the better learning of the students.
