1.2 PARTICIPATION
Analyzing experiences according to the various domains of growth and
development.
The group facilitator will lead the group in analyzing what each
experience is all about. This unifying theme is called a domain. Using the
same FS 1 Form A, write the domain of each entry in the third column. The
general domains are: physical/motor, Mental (Literacy/Cognitive/Intellectual,
Social -Emotional

Analyze the entries in the three stages of development for each domain.
What do you notice of the entries belonging to the same level or stage?
Are they more similar or different? Why?
Compare the entries across stages in this domain. Are there greater
differences in the social/emotional experiences across stages? What
could have brought these differences about?

What do you notice of the entries belonging to the same level or stage?
Are they more similar or different? Why?
Compare the entries across stages in this domain. Are there greater
differences or variations in the experiences across stages? What do
you observe?
1.4 INTERNALIZATION
Recognizing and accepting one’s characteristics across growth and
development levels.
Using the organized list of your group’s experiences by domain as your guide,
prepare a profile of your own characteristics using the matrix below. Your
narrative is an answer to the question in each domain.

1.5 DISSEMINATION
Reflecting on the value of addressing the characteristics and needs of
learners during the various stages of development
By this time, you have met neither your Resource Teachers nor the
children in school. However, the profile you have written of yourself could be
part of the schema you have for learners in the different stages or levels.
Being aware of your characteristics and abilities during these periods of
growth, what do you think should a classroom teacher or a school provide to
address and maximize the characteristics and abilities of learners at each
level? You can think in terms of meaningful learning experiences and
important learning resources for each stage in each stage in each of the
domains or aspects of development.

2.2 PARTICIPATION
Noting patterns in the perception of teachers of learners characteristics
Go over the Observation Checklist you have used for the three
teachers. Arrange them according to the grades they are teaching
following the matrix below.
Indicate the response of each teacher as indicated in his/her form in
the appropriate column using the symbols. SO = Strongly Observable,
OS = Observable Sometimes, NO = Not Observable
2.3 IDENTIFICATION
For each domain, select the characteristics which all teachers have
claimed to be “strongly observable”. They are those that get “SO-SO-SO”
response.

2.4 INTERNALIZATION
Inferring the implication of varying characteristics of learners in middle
childhood
There are characteristics observed by all teachers across grades.
What does that suggest?
There are characteristics observed by the intermediate teachers but
not by the lower grade teachers. What does that suggests?
There are characteristics which are not observed at all by any of the
teachers? What does that suggest? Any likelihood that these
characteristics are not found among the children in this school
community?
2.5 DISSEMINATION
Giving importance to knowing the characteristics of learners in one’s
class.
You were applying for a teaching position in a high school and the
Head of school wants to have an idea of how well you know your future
students. You were ask to write an essay regarding the grade level you want
to teach and why you want to teach this grade. Include a description of
characteristics of the learners.

Inferring the application of cognitive characteristics of children in
teaching-learning practices.
What could be the reason/s why the teacher did not have the
opportunity to observe the guidelines for this stage?
3.5 DISSEMINATION
Exemplifying instructional strategies for teaching concrete operational
children.
A workshop is being organized on teaching strategies in different
strategies in different subject areas that effectively address
characteristics of learners. Give examples of specific instructional
techniques you can apply following the guidelines for teaching
concrete-operational learners.

From your experience, what other strategies have your teachers used
which have helped you understand a complex subject matter! Can you cite
a specific example?
What benefits do students derive from assisted learning? How is related to
their cognitive development?
What about the teachers? What do they get out of using scaffolding
strategies while teaching?
4.5 DISSEMINATION
Making a commitment to be competent in providing assisting
learning for learners
You have seen how important it is to scaffold learning for cognitive
development. As a future teacher, what can you do to develop your
competency for assisted learning?

VIII. Learning Experiences 5 (Learner’s World in the Classroom)
5.1 EXPOSURE
Observing features of two classrooms of different grade levels. Arrange with
your cooperating school to allow you to observe two classrooms of two
different levels (e.g. Breed-Kinder or Grade One and Grade V or VI for BSEd
– Grade10). Using the Classroom Resources Checklist below, note down the
features/displays found in each classroom. Separate your observation
notes for the two classrooms. Check the YES column if present or
available in the classroom.
