 Learning Episode 1:
PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING
My Learning Episode Overview
This Episode is centered on time-tested principles of learning which when applied will lead
to effective learning. It is good to find out the manner and the extent to which these principles
are applied in the classroom.
My Intended Learning Outcome
In this Episode, I must be able to identify classroom practices classroom parctices that apply
or violate each of the principles of learning.
My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
a. quality of my observations and documentations,
b. completeness and depth of my analysis,
c. depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. time of submission of my portfolio.
My Learning Essentials
Here are time-tested principles of learning:
1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes.
2. Learning is an active process. “ What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand.”
3. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the
opportunity to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with real world
experiences and with their own lives.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.
My Map
To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps:
Step 1 : Guided by a question/quetsions, I will reflect on my experience, write down my
reflection.

2
 Step 2 : I will identify evidence of applications/voilations of the principles of learning. (You are
given a sample in # 1 principle.) I can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.
Step 3 : I will observe a class.
Step 4 : I will review the principles of learning given in “My Learning Essentials”.
My Learning Activities
As I observe a class, I will use the Observation Sheet for a more focused observation then
analyze and reflect on my observations with the help of guide questions.

Guiding Principles Related to What did the Resource Teacher do which

Application/Contradiction
of the Principles
1. Effective learning begins with
the setting of clear and high
expectations and learning
outcomes. e.g.
Teacher writes her intended
learning outcome on the board

2. Learning is an active process. Pupil write letter A instead of

teacher writing fo him/her

3. Learning is the discovery of

personal meaning and relvance
of ideas.
4. Learning is a cooperative and
a collaborative process. Learning
is enhanced in an atmosphere of
cooperation and collaboration

 Learning Episode 2:
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES/LESSON OBJECTIVES AS MY GUIDING STAR
My Learning Episode Overview
Intended learning outcomes/lesson objectives set the direction of the lesson. For them to
serve as guiding star they must be SMART and formulated in accordance with time-tested
principles.
My Intended Learning Outcomes
In this Episode, I must be able to:
 Identify the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied in
instruction
 Determine whether or not lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes served as
guiding star in the lessons observed
 Judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART

My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
a. Quality of my observations and documentation,
b. Completeness and depth of my analysis,
c. Depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. Completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. Time of submission of my portfolio

My Learning Essentials
Here are guiding principles related to lesson objectives/learning outcomes:

1. Learning objectives/intended learning outcomes set the direction of the lesson. Begin
with the end in mind. It is beneficial if teachers share the lesson objective/s or intended
learning outcomes with the learners and the learners make it/them their own learning
objectives or outcomes.
2. To make lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes very clear they must be made
Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result-oriented and Timebound (SMART).
3. For meaningful teaching and learning, lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes
must integrate 2 or 3 domains – cognitive, skill and effective or cognitive and affective
or skill and affective.

8
My Map
I will observe three (3) different classes.
I will reflect on the guide questions given below.
To realize intended learning outcome, I will follow these steps:
Step 1. Read the Learning Essentials given above.
Step 2. Observe at least three (3) classes with a learning partner. I will choose one class from
each of the three groups.
Group 1 – Language/Science/ Math
Group 2 – Physical Education, TLE
Group 3 – Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao/Araling Panlipunan
My focus this time is on lesson or learning objectives/intended learning outcomes.
Step 3. Discuss my observations/answers to the questions with my partner.
Step 4. Write down my answers to the questions.
Step 5. Reflect on my observation.

My Analysis
1. Why is it sound teaching practice for a teacher to “begin with the end in mind” and to share
his/her lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes with his/her students?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
2. Did you find the lesson objective/s or intended learning outcome/s SMART? Support your
answer.
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
3. Do SMART objectives help the lesson become more focused?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
4. Were the lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes in the cognitive, psychomotor and
affective domains? Support your answer.
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
5. Is it necessary to have objectives always in the 3 domains – cognitive, psychomotor and
affective? Why or why not?
______________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________

13
 My Reflections
Any lessons learned or insights gained from your observation focused on lesson objectives?
Write them down here. Are lesson objectives truly the guiding star in the development of a
lesson? Or are lesson objectives sometimes forgotten as the lesson develops?
For lesson objectives/learning outcomes to serve as guiding star in lesson development,
will it help if they are SMART?

Does integrating lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes in the three domains
(cognitive, psychomotor, affective) or at least 2 (cognitive or psychomotor and affective) make
lessons more meaningful?
