OBSERVATION REPORT
Name of the School Observed: Caruhatan National High School
School Address: Arti Subd. Karuhatan, Valenzuela City
Date of Visit: January 11, 2017
Upon visiting the class of Grade 8 at Caruhatan National High School the
number of students are more or less 40. They are around 13 to 14 year old. the
number of girls are more than half of the number of boys. Commonly theyre
average people in society when regards to their social status. Mostly of them are
totally residence of Valenzuela.
All the students are engaging properly during discussion. They have a
sense of initiative when they saw their teacher in front of them, they preparing their
selves to listen. During their class discussion when the teacher ask a volunteer to
solve a certain problems on the board, the students are actively participating to it.
The learners are very cooperative to each others. They usually help one
another if they see it difficult to the others. All of them are helpful and willing to
help their classmate to solve a different problems. You always see the courage and
enthusiasm to them maybe because the relationship that they have are intact. That
is why they helping their each other.
Normally the most active during discussion are boys because majority of
the boys they love the math subject. And the girls are usually asking for help but
not at all times.
When a student is called and cannot answer the teachers question, his or
her classmates was very supportive, they raising their hands to help their
classmate answering on the board or in oral.
Your Analysis
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and
interactions in the classrooms. What roles do they play? Is there
somebody who appears to be the leader, a mascot/joker, an attention
seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/pessimist?
The persons who play key roles in the relationships amd
interactions in the classrooms are mostly boys. Some of them seems
like a leader and often times a joker, while the girls are most
talkative and only few of them has an intrapersonal behavior. In
majority of them have their on dominion or group where they
belong with the same beliefs and interest. One thing Id observed
was they actively participating in the class and also they were
enjoying it despite of their differences because they have a common
goal is to learn
Your Reflection
1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of
oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher and the
learners?
2. In the future, how would you want the learners in your classroom to
interact? How will you make this happen?
