LEARNING EPISODE 1: THE TEACHER WE REMEMBER
ANALYZE

1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx
videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
Answer:
To be a great teacher you must have the four essential competencies: (1) knowing
and understanding what to teach, (2) helping students learn, (3) engaging the community,
and (4) becoming a better teacher every day.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?
Answer:
No, teachers go out their borders for them to understand what students are going
through day by day they know their professions but they as a teacher know how to
implement it as well asgiving their students the best care and knowledge to execute every
detail of what theirstudent’s needs
3. For a teacher to be great, it is 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.
Answer:
The greatness of a teacher is not measured by how well he/she is able to plan a
lesson plan and execute it, manage a class, assess learning, or compute and report grades.
These are actually just manifestations that a teacher is doing his/her job based on his/her
job description.
 The greatness of a teacher is measured by his/her outputs--the students.
 If the students are gaining significant learnings from their teacher, we can say that a
teacher is great.
 If the students are applying their learnings in real-life situations, they've got a great
teacher.
 If students are influenced by the teacher to pursue their dreams and aim higher, their
teacher is a great one.
 If a teacher is able to touch the lives of his/her students, he/she is a great one.

4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important – personal qualities or professional


competencies?
Answer:
In my opinion both are important because we need to balance our personal and
professional life. creativity, imagination, and resourcefulness in problem solving.
curiosity and commitment to lifelong learning. leadership skills and qualities. And some
qualities of a good teacher include skills in communication, listening, collaboration,
adaptability, empathy and patience. Other characteristics of effective teaching include an
engaging classroom presence, value in real-world learning, exchange of best practices
and a lifelong love of learning
5. Who are the teachers that we remember most?
Answer:
Students often remember teachers who were kind or funny or brilliant or
passionate. They remember teachers who cared about them. They remember teachers who
were supportive or encouraging or saw something in them no one else did. They
remember teachers who challenged them and made them think.

REFLECT

Which personal traits do I possess? Where do I need improvement in?


Answer:
As a good teacher include skills in communication, listening, collaboration,
adaptability, empathy and patience. Other characteristics of effective teaching include an
engaging classroom presence, value in real-world learning, exchange of best practices
and a lifelong love of learning. And I need to gain much more experience and techniques
for me to grow and be effective as a teacher in a classroom. For me I need to improve
everything that I have because to be a good teacher we need to polish our skills and
personal qualities to be an effective as a teacher.

Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?


Answer:
I am good at interacting with students because for me educators must be able to
positively interact with all students. This includes difficult students, students who work below
grade-level and students whose personalities just grate on a teacher. Teachers must put aside their
prejudices and feelings in order to treat all students with respect, provide them with equal
opportunities for learning and make them feel confident.

In which competencies do I need to develop more?


Answer:
For me I need to develop and polish my Flexibility/Adaptability since I am lacking at
experience I belive that the working environment in a school is so intense. So I need to became
good at multi-taking because an ability to manage multiple assignments at the same time, and
being flexible enough to work under ever changing conditions, management, environment and
rules is highly appreciated. And being able to adapt from one working environment to the next,
or even from one type of assignment to another, is a big advantage. It demonstrates the
individual’s commitment to the organization, and will influence their career progression.

Who are the teachers that we remember most?


Answer:
My answer for this question is still the same students often remember teachers who were
kind or funny or brilliant or passionate. They remember teachers who cared about them. They
remember teachers who were supportive or encouraging or saw something in them no one else
did. They remember teachers who challenged them and made them think.

SAMPLE CAN BE USED

1. OBSERVE
In assisting my resource teacher, I observed that personal traits such as bright personality
comes excitement and originalitv. hoth of which are essential for capturing the attention
and respect of students and professional competencies like establishing high but
achievable expectations encauraging a love for learning listening to others. being flexible
and capable of adiusting to novel situations and many more were least not displayed and
as a result, students were class was class not active and can destroy education.of every
student and it is said that educating themind without educating the heart isno education at
all.
2. REFLECT
The lack of these personal traits and professional competencies (mentioned in #1) may be
caused by lack of students interest in teaching or the teacher is not a teacher at all he/she
don't do his ohligation as a teacher to provide the needs of the students or is not in the
classroom to guide his/her students. We all know that the esence of heing a teacher is to
teach because that is his/her professor.

3. PLAN
I would like to address this problem (mentioned in #2) by conducting an action research
on different sides of teaching lacking of personal traits can create a sold atmosphere in
the classroom they may think that vou are not a great teacher because voL can'L relate to
what students are stmggling with or needs of them Lacked of professional competency in
teaching may lead to a lot of dis alignment in teaching and teacher's behavior and cannot
manage the classroom well.

4. ACT
a. The main objective of my action research is to learn more ahout what is going on in a
particular district. school or classroom and to figure out how to increase student
learning in that environment.

b. My specific research questions are: Is it possible that a teacher's expectations have an


impact on a student's success2 Iwill.conduct some rescarch and reasons why teachers
expectations have an impact on a student's success by listing the negative and positive
sides of both students and teachers and how true that if you excellin everyıhing that
your teacher expects makes you successful
c. To answer my specific research questions, I will conduct some research to gather
some informations to be able to answer my research questions.

Work on my Artifacts

Attach your reflection here.

- .The level of development of countries is closely linked with the quality of education,which is
closely linked with the quality of teachers. A common characteristic of
theeducation systems of countries which are at the forefront in international examinations
andevaluations is competent teachers. A competent teacher is one of the most
substantialelements of a quality education system. Academic competence of teachers, their work
intheir profession, and their professional seniority are vital factors that affect their
students'learning achievements. Improving the quality of the education system in a country
requiresa teaching profession with sufficient power and high qualifications, including the
specialknowledge, skills and competences that teachers should have for their roles in a school
andin the education system. A teacher also should possess positive attitudes, as this has animpact
on the quality of education. Developing positive attitudes and professional self-efficacy
are important components in teachers' development through attaining professional qualifications.

REFLECT
1. What significant ideas or concepts have you learned about action research?
Answer:
 I learned that action research provides qualitative data we can use to adjust our
curriculum content, delivery, and instructional practices to improve student learning.
Action research helps us implement informed change! Action research also helps us
to take charge of our personal professional development.
 Action research is basically a cycle of action and research to improve performance. It
helps build a bridge between theory and practice. It is a systematic method through
which a practitioner conducts a study to evaluate a specific problem or to solve a
problem.
 For example a teacher learns about a problem in the classroom and tries to solve it,
taking actions for improvement. While taking these actions, he or she undertakes a
study to analyze the effectiveness of these actions and to make improvements based
on the findings.
 So action research is a cyclical process of taking several actions to improve
something, studying the results of these actions, and taking further actions based on
the findings of the study.
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.
Answer:
I realized that Action research helps the teacher to turn from the traditional
methods of teaching to those methods that are modern and effective hence ensuring the
satisfaction of the needs of the students. It is therefore very important in ensuring
professional development for the teachers.
Write Action Research Prompts
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.

Answer:
Lowering other students' and instructor’s motivation in or out of class.

REFLECT

What have I realized? What do I hope to achieve?


Answer:
I realize that an action research is situation and context-based. Action research
develops reflection practices based on the interpretations made by participants.
Knowledge is created through action and application. Action research can be based in
problem-solving, if the solution to the problem results in the improvement of practice.

I realized that for every teaching learning problem, there is a solution.


Answer:
And the importance of action research is vital in enhancing the reflective teaching
process as it enhances awareness. The process is more systematic than mere reflection
and it enhances accountability. It raises the consciousness of the participants to the
reflection process.

Write a probable solution to the problematic situation above.


Answer:
I think as a teacher we need to be strict somethings especially to a student that is
not respectful, because as a teacher we must do the right thing and decision that may lead
changes for our students in a good way as soon as possible like this one that I suggest.
Because not all the time we neef to be kind for me I think we need to be balance so that
our students do not become abusive to us and to ther co-students.
PLAN
What strategies, activities, innovations can I employ to improve the situation or solve the
problem?
Answer:
 First as a teacher we must impliment our own rules and regulation with a sanction or
punishment depending to their violation that can offend a teacher or their co-student.
 Second, we can conduct a personality activity so that we can enhance or change their
personality little by little because it is for their own sake.

As a future action researcher I can plan for an appropriate intervention like


Answer:
 First, I will decide what needs to happen.
 Second, Use a measurement system to gather information about the level of the
problem.
 Third, Decide who the intervention should help.
 Fourth, Involve potential clients or end users of the intervention.
 Fifth, Identify the issues or problems you will attempt to solve together.
So that we can create a good intervention that can solve the problem that we
currently facing at school to have a better teaching strategies and to grow as a future
action researcher as a teacher.

Work on My Artifatcs

Your artifact will be an Abstract of a completed action research.

The action research aims to enhance the performance of Grade VI-C Pupils in Mathematics in
Buyagan Elementary School through the use of Arts In Math (AIM). Specifically, the action
research sought to: 1) use Arts in Math (AIM) to enhance the mastery level of Grade VI-C in
Mathematics, 2) improve comprehension skills of Grade 6 on Mathematics concepts through the
use of "Arts in Math (AIM)", 3) use "Arts In Math (AIM)" to stimulate, motivate and sustain
pupils' interest in Mathematics and 4) improve the teaching strategy in Mathematics through
AIM. The study was conducted for two quarters from June-October 2015 (1st and 2nd Grading)
with 46 pupils as the target subjects. The study made use of the one-shot experimental design to
look into the effectiveness of "Arts In Math (AIM)" in improving pupils' performance in
Mathematics. The findings showed that the use of Arts In Math (AIM) enhanced the performance
of Grade VI-C Pupils in Mathematics. For the first quarter, there was an increase of 34.13 in the
MPS and 29.79 for the second quarter. Using the t-test of the difference between means of
correlated data, the t- test computed value of 23.71 for the first quarter and 32.37 for the second
quarter is more than the critical value of 1.676 at 0.05 level of significance with 45 degrees of
freedom. In conclusion, Arts In Math (AIM) enhanced mastery learning and comprehension of
Grade 6-C pupils based from the pretest and posttest. There was a significant difference between
the means of pretest and posttest using t-test as the statistical treatment. In addition, Arts in Math
(AIM) stimulated, motivated and sustained pupils' interest. Furthermore, Arts In Math (AIM)
improved the teaching strategy in Mathematics. As to the recommendations, teachers should be
encouraged and motivated to use Arts In Math so as to enhance pupils' performance in Math.
Moreover, integration of arts should not only be used in teaching Mathematics but also with
other subjects. The school head should encourage and support the generation and use of the Arts
In Math (AIM)

What concepts have been emphasized in the task and infographics? Give at least four.
1. It emphasized how to do it in a right manner.
2. It emphasized the correct flow of action research.
3. It only has one directional flow.
4. Action research enables practitioners to research.

Since the 3 models are all for action research, what are the common elements of the three?
Answer:
All of them have the same 1 flow direction and the other common thing to them is, it
always move and end to a new direction.

ANALYZE

 If you choose to compare with Model A-McNiff & Whitehead, here are the
components.
Title and Author of the Action Researcher: Improvement of reading comprehension of
grade ll pupil's through reading program, Fe K. Zuniga and Gemma S. Barrantea

Key Components Entry from your Sample AR


OBSERVE The Problem
1. The low level reading comprehention of grade II pupil's
2. I shall focus to the problem of grade II pupil's in reading
comprehention.
3. As a teacher we need to look for a new strategy or approach for the
good of our students.

REFLECT Reflection
1. I hope that we can work it out especially the problem of grade II
pupil's and I intend to change their learning strategies and undestandings
so that they can learn much faster and easier.
2. Doing some action research is important because we can gain
experiences and ideas on how to do it right as a future teacher we also
need it
3. For me doing an action research are much better if i collaborate
because we can think much broad topic to be discuss and to solve. doing
with a team is much easier that doing it alone in my own opinion.

PLAN Plan of Action


1. I think I will used a qualitative for my research.
2. I will describe my innovation by presenting it to our class to gain
feedback if it's good enough to go.
3. I think it is especially if we will work by group or so called
collaborative activity.

ACT Implementation
1. I will prepare the necessary things like budget, laptops, printer, and
other materials that is needed to able to do and I think i will do this
Action research for 3-4 months I think is the maximum timeframe.
2. I will gather data by suvey questionaire or inteview a few as long they
are willing.
3. I can get some feedback with is i can be my basis if my Action
research is effective or other suggetion that we can get from survey
questionaire.

EVALUATE Findings
1. The result of this Action research should be applied to the classroom
teaching strategy so that we can help the other teacher that have the
same diffuculties like ours.
2. My finding can help you if you have the same difficulties as mine. So
it is worth sharing to end a problematic situation so that we can solve it
with this kind of strategy.

MODIFY Recommendation
1. If there's a new problematic situation it can.
2.should i move to another cycle of action research?

REFLECT
As a future teacher, is conducting an action Research worth doing?
Answer:
Yes.
Why? because Action research gives you the benefits of research in the classroom
without these obstacles. Action research provides qualitative data you can use to adjust your
curriculum content, delivery, and instructional practices to improve student learning. Action
research helps you implement informed change!. So for short action research can enhance the
awareness of a student teacher as a future teacher to become capable in doing solutions for
classroom problems.

How can AR be used for every classroom teacher?


Answer:
With AR apps, teachers can help make learning about science more engaging through
interactive lessons. By combining AR elements, videos, and animation, teachers can aid students
in their scientific inquiries. For example, Chem101 AR helps students to understand complex
compounds such as acids and oxides.

Write Action Research Prompts


OBSERVE
Remembering my classroom observations in FS 1, I noticed that there are many questions that I
raised in my mind. These include:
a. As a teacher how should we handle our students properly?
b. As a teacher if we encounter a problematic situation what should we do first?
c. What is the best way to became an effective teacher?

REFLECT
Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to solve the
problem or answer the questions, like:
a. To handle our students we must do the following:
 Keep rules simple and easy to follow. Choose no more than five or six of the most
important rules. If students have too many rules, they will not remember any of them
—and will not follow any of them!
 Create effective consequences. Make it a process. Start out with something that
doesn’t affect them too much and make each consequence that follows a bit more
severe. Remember that developing some way of keeping up with behavior and being
consistent is a must.
b. To handle a problematic situation we should do the following:
 Hear what the student is saying.
 Empathize with student's situation.
 Assess what the student's needs are.
 Refer to campus resources.
 Tell the appropriate campus official or department.
c. As a teacher we should have this qualities to become an effective teacher the following
are:
 POSITIVE
Keep your students engaged with a positive attitude. Teaching is most effective when
students are motivated by the desire to learn, rather than by grades or degree
requirements.
 PREPARED
You should know the course material. If students are required to attend lectures and read
assignments, then it seems reasonable that you would do the same.
 ORGANIZED
Have a plan for what you want to teach. Your job is to illustrate key points and essential
context, to help students integrate all of their work (reading, labs, exams, papers, lectures,
etc.) for the course.
 CLEAR
Effective teachers can explain complex ideas in simple ways. As you develop expertise in
an academic field, it is easy to forget that students may have no prior knowledge of
fundamental concepts that you take for granted.
 ACTIVE
Keep your students thinking. Unless they are actively using the concepts you are
teaching, most students will remember only a small fraction of what you teach.
 PATIENT
Remember what it is like to learn something for the first time. Give students time to
process information and answer questions. Know that it is fine for students to make
mistakes if they can learn from them.
 FAIR
Consider what it would be like to be one of your students. Chances are you would want
an instructor who set clear expectations, applied them consistently and could admit when
they were wrong.

PLAN
Now, that I am in FS 2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem (choose from a, b, c)
because
Answer:
I choose letter A because it s doable in a same timeframe and it will not take a very long
months I think and I choose this because s a teacher sooner or later we will face the same
problem whether as student teacher or a true teacher with degree we will face the same problem.
So I think it is good to take it as my topic.
ACT
My action will come later, given enough time in FS 2 or during my teaching Internship.
LEARNING EPISODE 4: MATCHING PROBLEMATIC LEARNING
SITUATION WITH PROBABLE ACTION

Participate and Assist


What five problems have you identified from the words that you have encircled? Make a
statement. Write five in the space below.

The problems I identified are:


1. Working students have the difficulty in time management.
2. Students have limited resources.
3. Failed to create a time management.
4. Poverty can lead a student to quit attending at school.
5. Activity overload can make a student depress.

NOTICE
What have you noticed of the problem identified above? Can there be more than one solution
to the problem? ____yes_____ Explain
Answer:
It is because not all of the problem can solve by just 1 solution, first of all I agree that the
problem above as more than one solution for us to be able to solve the problem because every
problem has it own need. therefore not all of the problem are connected thatbcan be solve by one
solution. We can solve this problem by creating a solution one by one.
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 researcher.

ANALYZE
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.

 Can you identify, Miss Fely’s problem? One half of her students cannot classify animals
to vertebrates and invertebrates even though she has been re-teaching the same lesson for
2 weeks.
 Can you find a solution to solve her problem? Yes Give your two suggestions.
a. Rephase the word that have been used to the lesson to an easier one.
b. Use another teaching tecniques that is applicable for the students.
 What solution can solve Miss Fely’s problem? I think Miss Fely's need to use another
appoach or techniques that suite for ther students.
How? For me by using another teaching approach or teaching technique miss fely's
problem will be solve because it can teach the student much more effective if the
technique picked is match for her students needs.

 Are they matched with the problem?


Yes, and it will help miss Fely's problem for her to overcome the current problem that
she's facing.

Scenario B: Sir Ryan teaches in a disadvantaged urban community. Most of his learners come
from families that are disrupted, either with single parents or with their guardians who stand only
as parents. They are deprived of the necessary food, clothing and shelter.

 Can you identify the most probable teaching-learning problem/s in the class of Sir Ryan?
a. The lack of appropriate clothing for school.
b. The lack of school supplies of the students.

 Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problems that you have identified?
I think the best solution to do is to raise a fund or donation for the students. The school
were the student is enroll they are the one must act as the head of this fund
racing/donation activity for their students because this will help their student needs for
their education and personal nesesities too.

REFLECT
After reading the two scenarios given above, how would you identifying problematic
situations and finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better teacher? Explain.
Answer:
First of all to became a good teacher you must know or be aware to your student feeling
and necessities as a teacher it is good to raise our awareness to became a dependable teacher by
doing so, We can identify school/personal problem of a student by learning the problem of your
student as a teacher we can come up or find a solutions for our student's problem. So I believe by
being aware, dependable and a good teacher it can help us as a teacher to became better not just
for our self but for our students too.

OBSERVE
What problematic situation prevails in the classroom?
 lateness or leaving early.
 inappropriate cellphone and laptop usage in class.
 side conversations.
 disregard for deadlines.
 grade grubbing.
 sniping remarks.
 cheating.

REFLECT
What changes do you want to achieve?
Answer:
I want to do the following for them to became a good student and to change their bad attitude to
a good attitude.
 Encourage a Classroom Code of Conduct
Every classroom should have standards and expectations that govern classroom behavior. Instead
of presenting students with a list of rules on the first day of class, consider involving your
students in the process of establishing the classroom code of conduct.
 Be a Role Model
To a significant degree, building a positive classroom starts with you. Students can be
impressionable, and the old adage “do as I say, not as I do” isn’t enough to convince youth to
behave a certain way when you and other adults behave differently.
 Reinforce and Reward Positive Behaviors
Parents and teachers know that it is much easier to focus on bad behaviors than the good ones,
but it’s important to reinforce positive behaviors when we see them happening. Praising positive
behaviors in the classroom is a simple, yet powerful, way to motivate students to be on their best
behavior.
 Practice Mindfulness
One of the most important strategies for creating positive change in the classroom is also often
the most difficult to carry out. A positive attitude will set the appropriate tone with your students
and demonstrate how you expect them to treat each other and themselves.
PLAN
What strategies will you use to improve the situation?
 Understand your students. Get to know each student as an individual.
 Practice patience with Rational Detachment.
 Set effective limits.
 Keep to the schedule you set.
 Be aware of the causes of behavior.
 Engage with students.

ACT
What would be the title of your action Research should you conduct the study?
The Effect of Classroom Behaviors and students Attentions on Written Expressions

Add: Solutions/Actions
The goal of this study was to build on previous research by not only looking at academic
behaviors in additions to attention, but also identifying gender differences in the relationship
between behaviour and writing performance in the context of a tier 1 performance feedback
intervention. Academic behaviors and attention were found to be major predictators of writing
fluency in female students, however neither behavioural measures were found to be important
predictors of writing productivity in female students, according to the study’s goals. Neither of
the behavioural measures were found to be significant predictors of male writings fluency or
productivity in male students. academic habits and attentions, on the other hand, were found to
be strong predictors of writing fluency for all children.

LEARNING EPISODE 5: PREPARING THE LEARNING


ENVIRONMENT: AN OVERVIEW
Participate and Assist
What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning environment in the
following conditions:
1. Bulletin Board Display: Do some Reading Bulletin Boards: Interactive ideas to get
students more involved in reading. Suitable for later elementary and middle school for
them to be interested what ever topic it is.

2. Small Group Discussion Create a classroom that encourages interaction Teachers can
come out with thought-provoking topics that require the students to think and share their
opinions with no prejudice. Having discussions and even debates promotes creativity and
critical thinking, which are important life skills that students should inculcate while they
are still in school. Planned interaction also gives quieter students the opportunity to
express themselves where they would normally not speak up.

3. Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e. google meet or zoom)


as assistant I will do the following to help my mentor to create a good environment
for a teacher and student interaction.
 Ensure that your room is conducive to learning.
Choose a bright and open space that can inspire and encourage you to accomplish what
you need. Choose a quiet place to work without distractions from things like family,
friends, TV, and computer games.
 Learn good time management skills.
If you are taking an online course, it is especially important to learn good time
management skills. You will not have the support of a face-to-face classroom to help you
remember.
 Complete the course requirements as outlined by your instructor in the course
Syllabus.
Ensure that you understand course policies, responsibilities, grading system, and assigned
projects. Make sure that you are able to complete every designated project and
assignment on time.
 Be able to communicate through writing.
In the online learning environment, nearly all communication is written. It is critical that
you feel comfortable in expressing your thoughts in writing.
 Make the most of online discussion forums.
Check for new discussion topics at the beginning of every week and post early. Put some
thought behind your words. Include links to articles or other references that support your
comments and opinions. Stay respectful at all times and take advantage of the many
opportunities to connect with your fellow students.

NOTICE

Learning Environment 1:
 What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message or theme
does it convey?
Answer:
Their Bulletin board convey the students to be aware of their activities and
for the teacher it is a reminder tool for them to remember ex: meetings, activities,
holidays and etc.

 What makes it attractive to the learners?


Answer:
I think the color and design makes it attractive in the eyes of the students and
their design that had been used suites for kids too.

Does it help in the learning process? _____Yes_____ How?


Answer:
By creating a bulletin board with a reminders to students and a good design
it can help the students to remember bunch of stuff that they need to do. So it can
increase the awareness of the student to their activities and it can have a good
feedback for those students to their grades.

Learning Environment 2:
 If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules, where is most
likely the learning space of the students?
Answer:
Most likely their learning space is at their home because it is the most
comfortable learning space that they can have other than the school while doing
their online classes.

 Can you describe?


Answer:
Try to put your look a quiet, organized, and distraction-free area where they
can focus on their school work and nothing else. If you have a home office or a spare
bedroom, that's perfect. Because a learning space should be quiet.

 How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for learning?
Answer:

 Address Student Needs


Remember that students, like adults, have not only physical needs but also
important psychological needs for security and order, love and belonging, personal power
and competence, freedom and novelty, and fun.

 Create a Sense of Order


All students need structure and want to know that their teacher not only knows his
content area, but also knows how to manage his classroom.
 Let Students Get to Know You
Students come in to the classroom with preconceived perceptions of teachers.
Sometimes it’s good, sometimes it can be an obstacle.

ANALYZE
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for learning?
Choose between learning environment 1 or learning environment 2. Explain your choice: why?
Answer:
As a teacher I prefer the learning environment 1 because on this particular scenario we
can easily access and interact with our students and we can also see their needs right away in
much fastest way. And we can also observe them more entertain of their question much longer
and make things clarify.
REFLECT
Based on my noticing and analysis, I realized that
a. There are lot of ways that we can do for the students to learn more effective.
b. I realized that we can open a new possibility teaching style by doing an action research.
c. We can solve a problem because by doing action research we can discover a new
strategies or approach to be used in a specific problematic situation in classroom.

Write Action Research Prompts


OBSERVE
What probable problem may result from the two situations of the learning environment?
Answer:

I think that the issue is how confident the teacher is that his or herstudents will learn using these
two learning environments.

REFLECT

What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?

Always keep an eye on each student's problems and growth. Ensure that the students pass the
exercise every quarter todemonstrate that they completed the work. To do so, you mustinform
students that they must also reflect on how well they aredoing and their plans for a nice and
healthy environment.

PLAN

How should I do it?

The first thing you should do is prepare a pre-test and post-test tomeasure the students'
knowledge before and after the school yearor semester. Always keep track of their activities and
present themwith options for what they want to learn. Always think about andrespect their
decision.
Work on My Artifacts
In not less than 300 words, write an essay on the topic “My Conducive Learning
Environment”
“My Conducive Learning Environment”
By: Winnie Mae A. Castro
So a conducive environment is defined as favorable surroundings or conditions. One
would make the environment conducive to learning starting within. We students should be and
are motivated internally as well as externally. Built in instructions, found within our genetics
drive the behavior of us. Meaning the student should have an excellent base to build their
education on. We student, especially an online learner, must learn to control the environment
which they have chosen to complete class work, homework and study/reading time. The student
must also develop the ability to absorb or ignore the surroundings available to him/her. In my
case I have a well maintained room, natural lighting is best, and ventilated area that is ventilated
of air and it can also be a heated maintaining a certain temperature for comfort. For me as a
student will I need the typical supplies to complete the required coursework. These supplies
and/or tools will come in handy but the area or environment one is utilizing to study, complete
class work and homework is just as vital. So as a students we all have numerous necessities on a
personal and student level. The environment a student decides to use for his/her educational
purposes vary from one person to the next. Every student has a special area that is conducive to
the person's education. The student should have a means of self control. And as a student we
must have initiative to do things in a cheaper way that right for our budget and I really like to do
things ex: projects, activities and etc. why? because by doing this habbit over and over again I
gain some ideas that I can used for future purposes on how to do things in a cheaper way but at
the same time well created. So we can learn much effective if our surrondings is a healthy
environment for education.

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

By giving the Golden Rules for Engaging Students in Learning Activities . Make it
meaningful, In aiming for full engagement, it is essential that students perceive activities
as being meaningful. To ensure that activities are personally meaningful, we can, for
example, connect them with students' previous knowledge and experiences, highlighting
the value of an assigned activity in personally relevant ways. Also, adult or expert

pandemic outbreak—provided they have access to hardware and software resources.

REFLECT

Do you think making the learning environment conducive for a face-to-face classroom
will enable the learners to achieve better learning outcome? _____ explain your answer.

Absolutely. Before learning to take place, the human brain needs to know that it is safe
and that it is connected. Face-to-face interaction, as well as the development of loving
and trusting relationships, is always more successful for learning in an atmosphere that
fits those demands.

OBSERVE

What common problem have I noticed in a face-to-face learning environment?

Learning new technology is Difficult


Can I translate this problem into question?
• Difficultly Learning of Use New Technology

REFLECT

How would I solve the problem?

Use digital resources well: Schools can use digital resources in a variety of ways to
support teaching and learning. Electronic grade books, digital portfolios, learning games,
and real-time feedback on teacher and student performance, are a few ways that
technology can be utilized to power learning.

Will it improve my teaching? Yes, How?

Used to support both teaching and learning, technology infuses classrooms with digital
learning tools, such as computers and hand held devices; expands course offerings,
experiences, and learning materials; supports learning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week;
builds 21st century skills; increases student engagement and motivation; and accelerates
learning.

PLAN

What will I do to solve the problem? Describe briefly how you will do it.

Schools should also explore new technologies while exercising appropriate caution.
Before purchasing new software, request a trial period or demo. Also, explore how the
technology will add value to a remote and regular classroom.
Insights to Behavior is one such technological resource. Insights to Behavior can help
teachers manage regular and virtual classroom issues. If you’re a director of special
education, schedule an online personal demo to find out more.

Work on My Artifacts

Visit a school, where the learning environment is face-to-face. Prepare a detailed report
describing the face-to-face learning environment in terms of the three components:

Physical Environment

• Is the space inside the room more than enough for learners to move about?

• Does the room arrangement match with teaching-learning principles? Are there several
room arrangements in the school?

• Are the visual displays attractive and do they stimulate learning?

• Are the school premises safe and is the classroom space free from hazards?

• Are learners comfortable in terms of light and ventilation.

Psychological Environment

• Are these sets of rules and procedures followed? What are these?

• Are there sets of expectations that can motivate the learners to learn?

• Are these observable in the classroom?


- Classroom atmosphere based on trust, cooperation and empathy

- Modelling of positive attitude, respectful behaviour, constructive actions

- Avoiding of ridicule, sarcasm, superiority in the classroom

- Opportunities for learners to share their experiences and learning with each other

Social Environment

• Are those opportunities for positive interaction inside the classroom?

• Are there outdoor activities that foster friendship, camaraderie, and cooperation?

• How are individual needs and differences considered?

PORTFOLIO ENTRY

Title: The Face-to-face Learning Environment

Describe the physical environment:

Individuals live, work, learn, and play in their physical environment. People engage with
their physical environment in a variety of ways, including the air they breathe, the water
they drink, the homes they live in, and the transportation they use to get to work and
school.
Describe the psychological environment:

Psychosocial environment is the interaction of the various sources of stress in our lives
and how we respond to them, both individually and as communities. ... Our
"environment" includes both social determinants of health and physical environmental
determinants of health.
Psychosocial environment includes our responses to stressors in our lives, from
temporary ones such as a traffic jam to major stressors such as war, homelessness or
major disease. Our relationships with family members, friends, colleagues and other
individuals and groups with whom we interact in our communities are an important part
of this environment.

Describe the social environment:

A person's social environment is their society and all surroundings influenced in some
way by humans. It includes all relationships, institutions, culture, and physical structures.
Learning Episode 7: Making On-Line or Virtual Learning
Environment Safe and conducive

NOTICE

As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class?

Before the beginning of class, make sure your technology is up to date.


Educators should also be aware of common technological challenges that they or their
students may face while learning online, such as microphones that don't function or
embedded movies that don't play in presentations. This is especially necessary now
because many IT departments are overburdened with more urgent requests and larger
issues as a result of the widespread distribution of schools.

It's a good idea for teachers to test any devices or platforms they'll be using with video
and audio. Before live streaming or filming their lessons, they should think about doing a
run-through. These actions can help employees feel more prepared and prepared
throughout the day by reducing the amount of troubleshooting they have to undertake.

How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?

There are students who always raise their hand to participate and those who are cautious
to do so in every classroom. It can be difficult to engage kids into talks who are reluctant
to lend their voices, whether they are introverted, consider for a long time before
contributing, or are simply having a terrible day.

ANALYZE

Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of on-line learning environment?

Check one or more.


It was difficult to observe the physical behaviour of the students.
It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform.
Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a conducive environment.

REFLECT

As a future teacher I feel that the on-line learning environment can be safe if

As a future teacher do not give out personal information.


This includes your name, school, telephone number, address, photos, credit card numbers,
or information about yourself. Also do not give out information about your friends or
family. You do not have to fill out forms or answer questions on the Internet. Online
contests may be used to trick you into revealing personal information, so be cautious.
Beware of online bullying, Bullying happens at online school, too. If you are being
bullied online by other students or are receiving abusive messages, tell someone in
authority. For more tips about what to do if you're being bullied, visit Teens Against
Bullying.

Write Action Research Prompts

OBSERVE

Identify the problems brought about by the on-line learning environment.

Technical Issues. Many students are not provided with the high bandwidth or the strong
internet connection that online courses require, and thus fail to catch up with their virtual
classmates: Their weak monitors make it hard to follow the Course Management System
and their learning experience becomes problematic. Moreover, most of them live off
campus and find it difficult to keep in tune with the technical requirements of the chosen
course. Some of them don’t even own computers and seek help in Learning Resource
Centers for technical assistance.

REFLECT

How would you solve this problem?

The only solution to this problem is knowing exactly what kind of technological
support they will need for a certain course before enrolling in it, as well as
properly equipping themselves for the course’s successful completion.

PLAN

My Classroom Management Plan

Philosophical Statement

As a teacher, I take into account my pupils' uniqueness; each learner is unique, so I


must establish a conducive classroom physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.
It is my ambition to create a learning environment in which students can pursue
their interests while eagerly studying. I will also establish a safe environment for my
learners in which they can openly discuss their thoughts, feelings, ideas or problems
in order to foster camaderie and unity among their classmates.

Classroom Rules and Procedures

1. Raise your hand if you want to speak- To avoid noise and interrupt the class
discussion.
2. Respect your teacher and classmates- It helps promote positive culture inside the
classroom.
3. Keep our classroom clean- To minimize the distractions that can take the mind of
students away from learning.
4. Maintain your work ethic and always try your best- To make a positive impact.

Teacher-Student Relationships
In building rationship with my students, I consider the following:

Impartiality- As a teacher I must treat everyone in the class equally without


favoritism.

Respect- Everything start with respect so, respect involves treating students politely.
Respect their culture, experience, skills, knowlegde, interest, strength and
weaknesses.

Schedules and Timeframes

By Utilizing checklist- Checklist were my first step toward orgamizing my


classroom. After knowing my schedule I will print it and posted on the wall outside
of my classroom. I will keep my students to stay focused and on task by using warm
up where it engage students physical and intellectual activities before teaching. I
will also use visual aids, which will capture my students inaginations, encouraging
them to stay focused. Lastly I will do encourage participation by asking a question
with a timer.
Make sure also that the teacher use his/her time allotment in teaching properly.

Classroom Structure, Design and Arrangements

To create an appropriate learning environment as a teacher I will make sure that my


classroom is clean, the seating arrangement are organized and well ventilated.
Classroom setup is an important component in learning environment because it is
an essential piece of classroom management to support both teaching and learning.

Classroom Safety Rules and Procedures


To ensure the safety and security of my students first I need to learn the school's
emergency procedures.

Strategies for Rewards and Consequences

I will use behavioral chart as a strategy for rewards and consequences because this
behavioral chart can often used to help students maintain focus and control their
behavior. Also in utilizing behavioral chart it includes feedback, clear expectations,
increased motivation and focusing on the positive.

What worked well during the activity using the resource/materials?

Using the instructional materials the class interaction inside the classroom worked very
well, they share their different ideas about the topic.

What part can be improved?


The part that needs improvement is the time Requirements or time management, it’s
helpful to pair learning activity with a timeline to help keep the class on schedule. It’s
also a great way to figure out if the lesson is realistic given the class time available.

What would you have done differently? What woul I change? What will nake it better next
time?

To make my teaching better next time i need to include more ICT tools in my lessons to
make it more relevant and fun for the students and it helps them achieve better learning
outcomes.

How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using instructional
materials?

This connects with what I already know about selecting and using instructional materials
by using different ICT tools it can help me provide a range of activities that will
challenge my learners.

REFLECT

How ready am I in selecting and developing resources/ instructional materials in the


teaching-learning process?
I am ready but not confident in developing instructional materials in teaching-learning
process because I know that in selecting instructional materials it should be appropriate
for the age, emotional and social development, and ability level of the students for whom
the materials are selected. It should be diverse with respect to levels of difficulty, reader
appeal, and should present a variety of points of view.

What do I still need to learn to select and develop resources/ instructional materials
in teaching effectively?
I still need to learn about accuracy and visual appeal, alignment to standards and depth of
knowledge, ease of use and support, and engagement and ability to meet student needs

How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using apps?

Apps helps students to analyze what they have been taught and what is the source of it which makes
them curious to know more but in a systematic way where they know how, when and what to explore.

NOTICE
Describe how you or the teacher utilized the apps. Narrate your experience as you
participated and assisted.

From helping with communication among teachers and students (as well as peer-to-peer), to
organizing curriculum calendars, to enhancing presentations and lessons with media and visuals,
there is no limit to the ways to use technology in the classroom to create an enriched learning
environment.

ANALYZE
What worked well during the activity using the apps?
As technology has become mainstream it has been assimilated into the learning
environment. Many schools use computers and tablets in the classroom and give homework that
requires the use of education apps. They will need to perform everyday tasks and certain job
functions.
What part can be improved?

You should start implementing best practices for your mobile application. You must think of user
goals while designing the mobile app.

What would you have done differently? What would I change? What will make it better
next time?

I need to improve more the technology that I use in teaching because I still don’t
know better. To make it better next time am gonna study more of it.

How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using apps?

This was connected in teaching my future students someday. This overall process helps the
students to learn practically and not theoretically.

REFLECT
How ready am I in organizing and using apps in the teaching-learning process?

Not quite ready but first Set guidelines and expectations for how students should use and
interact with. It’s important, too, that students understand the connection to the broader
lesson and application of the learning experience.

What do I still need to learn in order to use apps in teaching effectively?

As a teacher there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution, so here is a range of effective teaching
strategies you can use to inspire your classroom practice. Incorporating technology into your
teaching is a great way to actively engage your students, especially as digital media surrounds
young people in the 21st century.

What can I do to learn more about and practice the use of educational apps?

Access to any information from anywhere at any time makes the learning process convenient
and easy.

OBSERVE
What problematic situation/challenges/area of improvement prevailed in using apps?
Performance

Beside developing a successful app and providing superior customer experience, most app
developers face a common challenge for ensuring a world class app performance. The challenge
includes a running application without crashes or bugs and at the same time consumes as little
space in the device without affecting battery life. During the initial stage of the app development,
you need to focus on ensuring that design performs well on all the available mobile devices.

A good performing app can provide a good number of audience. Once you have crossed the
hurdle of testing, you can have an opportunity to create an excellent mobile app.

List at least three sources that you have read about this problem/challenge/area of improvement.

NOTICE

Describe the structure of the LMS utilized by the teacher. How was it organized? What
main components did you find?

It is used for eLearning practices and, in its most common form, consists of two elements: a
server that performs the base functionality and a user interface that is operated by instructors,
students and administrators.

How was the content taught or delivered? How were the learning activities arranged?
What strategies did the teacher or you use to help students attain the
objectives/outcomes?
Encouraging students to ask questions and investigate their own ideas helps improve their
problem-solving skills as well as gain a deeper understanding of academic concepts. Both of
which are important life skills.

What was you experience in participating and assisting?

Fear of public speaking, but I fight for that fears of mine

ANALYZE

What do you think are the best features of the LMS that the teacher used? How did these
features help the students learn the content?

Another benefit that ties into the purpose of an LMS is that learning professionals can use
specific data elements to ensure individual learners are meeting the desired learning objectives.

How did the teacher/or you use the LMS to implement the strategies/activities planned?
LMS make it possible for educators to consolidate these resources for students, alleviating the
need to juggle multiple logins. The systems also serve as a portal through which students are able
to easily see assignments and grades, which can help them better manage their own learning.

How did this connect with what you know about LMS and TPACK?

LMS involve online learning while TPACK is a technology integration framework that identifies
three types of knowledge instructors need to combine for successful edtech integration—
technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (a.k.a. TPACK). otherwise known as TPACK,
represents a full understanding of how to teach with technology. Keep in mind that this is not the
same as having knowledge of each of the three primary concepts individually. Instead, the point
of TPACK is to understand how to use technology to teach concepts in a way that enhances
student learning experiences. They both helps teaching learning classes.

What problem or challenges did the teacher/you or the students encounter in working
with the LMS? How did it/they affect the teachers/learners? What part/s of the LMS do
you think can still be improved? How can this/these be improved?

one of the oft-mentioned challenges in using LMS functionalities to increase efficiency is lack of
integration and inflexible reporting capabilities. A learner does not have to be physically
present in the class to go through the course- all they have to do is switch on their device and
start.
REFLECT

How ready are you in organizing and using an LMS?


I am not quite ready in using LMS because we were still learning how to use it and
there are problems also both teacher and student in the connectivity or internet
connection. So for some reason I do hope that we can accept the fact of being new in
this century.

Enumerate the knowledge, skills and attitudes you already have to organize your virtual

On what theories/principles can this problem be anchored?


Cognitive load theory (and by extension many of the multimedia instructional design principles) is based
in part on a model of working memory by Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch who proposed that working
memory has two largely independent, limited capacity sub-components that tend to work in parallel – one
visual and one verbal/acoustic.([23] This gave rise to dual-coding theory, first proposed by Allan Paivio
and later applied to multimedia learning by Richard Mayer. According to Mayer,([24] separate channels of
working memory process auditory and visual information during any lesson. Consequently, a learner can
use more cognitive processing capacities to study materials that combine auditory verbal information with
visual graphical information than to process materials that combine printed (visual) text with visual
graphical information. In other words, the multi-modal materials reduce the cognitive load imposed on
working memory.

Learning episode 15: Utilizing Web- Conferencing Apps for


Synchronous e-learning

NOTICE

Which web-conferencing app did the teacher use for synchronous classes? Describe its
features and how you or the teacher used these features.
Web-conferencing app feature Was it utilized? If yes, describe how it was utilized in class.

Virtual background The main purpose of a Virtual Background is to limit visual distractions in
a user’s video and to provide privacy. But this feature can also be used for
active learning.

Microphone icon on/off Using a classroom microphone is a great way to increase student
engagement, build student confidence, enhance student presentation
skills. It is a great classroom management tool that definitely helps
increase student engagement. Not only will your students increase
engagement in the lesson or activity, their individual confidence will
begin to increase as well.

Camera icon on/off Students, too, benefit from being able to see each other onscreen. In the
study, a majority indicated that “using videoconferencing helped build
trust and rapport with other students and helped them to develop a sense
of identification with others in their group.

Screen share Screen sharing can be used as a visual aid during live presentations by
allowing viewers to follow along in real time from their own devices.

Reaction buttons Have your students leave reactions without interrupting a lesson. Give
your students a chance to visually show how they are understanding the
content or how they are feeling.

Spotlight The spotlight teacher’s preferences for clip selection were taken into
consideration—the spotlight teacher always maintained veto power—and
they were provided with a copy of the clip prior to the video club meeting.

View (using different views) You must have an active internet connection to sign in. If you already
know how to sign in to Classroom, go to classroom.google.com. Or,
follow the detailed steps below.

Polling Instructors can use polls for many different pedagogical reasons such as to
ask students about their background knowledge, personal opinions or
experiences; to predict the outcome of an experimental demonstration, or
to test their understanding of course material.

Recording There you'll see the option to “Record video.” The video you make will
still be stored in Google Drive, since that's where content on Classroom is
kept, but it will insert the video directly into your assignment for you

Others
How was the content taught or delivered? How were the learning activities facilitated?
What strategies did the teacher or you used to keep the students engaged? How did the
students respond to the teacher? To the activities?

When students are engaged in learning, there is movement and laughter and sometimes lots
of noise. They are up and out of their seats involved in activities that promote thought, creativity, and
discovery. Students are busy, self-disciplined, and best of all, willing to take responsibility for their own
learning because they understand that what they are doing is important.

What was your experience in participating and assisting in synchronous classes? What
were your thoughts and feelings while you participated and assisted?

Put simply, this is a model where the people teaching and the people learning have some form of live
interaction, meaning they engage in education-related activities at the exact same time, despite being
physically separated. However, this approach has both advantages and disadvantages, which both need to
be explored and understood.

ANALYZE

What do you think are the best features of a web-conferencing app that you or the teacher
used? How did these features help the teachers and the students?

Web conferencing can be used to support interactive learning or student-centered teaching and learning in
a team-oriented, virtual environment. Group projects may include case studies and role plays, or process-
oriented, guided inquiry strategies.

Referring to the community of inquiry infographic, how well did the teacher/or you use
the web-conferencing app to establish: (describe in detail)

Teaching Presence?

The concept of presence in online teaching builds on the body of work on teaching and learning

Social Presence?

Social presence in online learning stimulates the whole eLearning experience, enhances learners-
instructors interactions, and improves learners to learners activities as well.

Cognitive Presence?
Cognitive presence is the academic content and engaging of the mind in the online environment.

What problem or challenges did the teacher/you or the students encounter during the
synchronous classes? How did it affect the teacher/learners? What part/s of synchronous
classes do you think can still be improved? How can this/these be improved?

As a real-time learning method, synchronous learning gives eLearning professionals the opportunity to
offer their audience a unique online training experience.

REFLECT

How ready are you in teaching an online synchronous class?

Not quite ready but I need to do it for the students, the importance of building connections with
students, strengthening support systems and assessing learners with a multitude of options in your
synchronous online course

Using a web-conferencing app, how else would you better establish:

Teaching Presence?

he teacher is literally in the room with the students, interacting with them as a whole class, in small
groups, or individually. Students can get their teacher’s attention by simply raising their hand or asking
for help. Even during a synchronous remote learning event, the teacher will be visible on the screen, and
students may ask questions or raise their virtual hand like they would in a face-to-face classroom.

Social Presence?

The use of Web videoconferencing, whereby learners in an online classroom can simultaneously
collaborate using audiovisual communication tools, increases the learner's ability in social and emotional
expression, thus improving communication which may enhance learning satisfaction.

Cognitive Presence

Cognitive presence is the academic content and engaging of the mind in the online environment .

LEARNING EPISODE 16: ASSESING FOR, AS AND OF


LEARNING

ANALYZE

 Did the formative assessment tasks help students master what they were expected to
learn?
 Yes, through formative assessment students were aware what learning they are
expected to learn. It allows them to evaluate their own learning.

 Was students’ response to formative assessment exercises favorable or unfavorable?


Why?
 It is favorable, because it shows that students where learning and were aligned to
the learning outcome.

 Did the conduct of formative assessment and self assessment affect students’
attainment of learning outcomes? How?
 Yes, it affects students’ attainment by means of letting them evaluate their selves,
identify their strength and weaknesses, and motivate them to continue improve
learning.

 What was the effect of students assessing their own progress on their motivation to
learn?
 It allows them to know their weaknesses and strengths which can motivate them
to improve their performance and motivate to learn.
REFLECT

How would attainment of learning outcomes be affected if there were no formative


assessments or self-assessment?

 There will be possibilities that learning outcomes will be least attain if there were
no formative assessment or self-assessment. Teachers cannot measure the
progress of learning of their students and their gaps. Student also may not be
aware on where they lack and in what part they need to improve. They will not
know if they achieve the learning outcomes.

ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

OBSERVE.

1. One thing that went well in the development/use/administration of formative


assessment tasks (assessment for learning) is
 Is that the teacher knows students learning and what students needs to learn more
or understand more.

2. One thing that did not go very well in the development/use/administration of


formative assessment tasks (assessment for learning) is
 Thinking and creating a formative assessment tasks that would definitely
measures their knowledge.

3. One good thing observed in students’ self-assessment (assessment as learning) is


 They be able to rate their selves and able to pick up what is lacking on their
performance. It also motivates them for the next/upcoming activities.

4. One thing in students’ self assessment (assessment as learning) that needs


improvement based on what were observed is
 Sometimes rating can also be bias. It may be somehow be improve by giving
them self-assessment such as reflections and other tasks that would make them
think, and reflect on their performance.

REFLECT

 The formative assessment activities went well because it gives positive results that
students were learning and improving.
 The formative assessment activities process did not go well because sometimes it
needs a lot of work, and barriers occur during the process.
 For students, self-assessment worked because they were able to reflect on their own
assessment results.
 For the students, self-assessment did not work because sometimes they find difficult
on rating themselves and it would make them think that it would be bias.

 Yes, every assessments task was done in accordance with principle of test
construction before implementing it.
4. Were the assessment tasks formative purposes also used for summative process? Why
or why not?
 Some part of the assessment task formative purposes are used in the summative
process, its purpose was to measure if the student really did progress or learned.

5. Where were assessment results student better – in the results of traditional or


authentic assessment?
 It shows best results in both assessment tasks, it revealed that students excel in
paper-pencil test as well as on making products and demonstration.

6. Which assessment activity/activities did the students like more? Like least? Why?
 In general observation, student’s most likely active on demonstration, role plays,
and experiments because they enjoy on the process of the activities, and also they
like it because of the challenges they experience. The least they like is making
projects some of them exert least efforts on making it, may be because coming up
a project is expensive to them, and needs a lot of time, and work.

REFLECT

How can I make the assessment process more meaningful to and more acceptable to
students?

 I need to formulate every assessment tasks with accordance to principles of test


construction. Also ensure that the assessment tasks will surely meet my objective
of making it which is to measure if leaning outcomes has been achieved or not.

ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

REFLECT

What personal message do I get from these students’ scores, grades, and
parents/guardians’ PTC attendance and comments?
 High scores and grade is possible for students to obtain but did not really learn
that much. It really does need to know the level of mastery of the students. Also
observing their behaviors on the class also important so that during PTC they can
talk about it or raise the concerns to the parents. The attendance of the parents and
guardians is really important in PTC so that everyone can hear the concerns and
announcements. The parents/guardians comments indicate how
responsible/concerned they are on their children’s progress.

ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

OBSERVE

1. One good thing that I observe in scoring/grading/parents-teachers conference was


parents and teachers can talk about the problems/concerns of their children (students)
and also be able to report their progress.

2. One thing that I did not go very well in scoring/grading/parents-teachers conference


was attendance of the parents/guardians in the PTC.

REFLECT

 The scoring/grading/parents-teachers conference went well because teacher able


to evaluate properly to the scores of the students, and parents were actively attend
on PTC and calmly discuss the progress/problems of their children.

 The scoring/grading/parents-teachers conference did not go well because some of


the parents did not attend the PTC.

ACT

 To ensure that the scoring, grading and the conduct of PTC serve their purpose,
i.e. to ensure that students learn, I will read researches/videos on proper
evaluation of scores, and proper presentation of student’s progress and concerns
that will avoid confusions and arguments.

PLAN

 To help improve scoring, grading practices and the conduct of PTC, I would like
to conduct an action research on reference assessments.
LEARNING EPISODE 19: WRITING AN INITIAL ACTION
RESEARCH PLAN

ANALYZE

We said at the beginning that all teachers could 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. You will share your output with your mentor for an opportunity to work together.

Topic you choose: (from the past episode) Creating my classroom / remote learning management
plan.

Episode number and Title: Learning Episode 9 Creating my Classroom / remote learning
management plan
Writing Action Research Prompt page: 5

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 problem here:


Lack of materials used by the teachers and students for tle majors.
B. REFLECT

Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can the slow
learners be helped? How will it 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 this situation, I belive that I should modify my classroom
strategy.

 Write your reflective response to the problem you stated:


Public schools have lacking materials for their students especially for those tle
students, so the teachers ask their students to buy the materials and the teachers
also don’t have the choice but to provide it with their own to continue the
teaching-learning process.

C. Plan for action


Key questions:

What will I do as a teacher to solve the problem?


 As a teacher we should as for the governments help or assistance in terms of
localized materials used and needed in the school for the benefit of the students.

How will I describe my intervention, innovation or actions to the identified problem?


 I should plan for actions or interventions about this problems on how should I ask
help in terms of materials to the government.

How long will it take to introduce the intervention?


 It will take 3 months.

With whom shall I work?


 With some government agencies especially with deped.

What materials do I need?


 Letters especially for seeking assistance for materials.
Are methods, participants, data collection, time table considered in my plan for action?
 Yes

Write your own plan of action Research based on the key questions. You give more
details.

Action Research Proposal

Name: Marian A. Macabocsit


Proposed Title: Efficacy Of Using Localized Materials

I. Context and Rationale (Study background)


Background of the Study

At the start, the extent of the student’s learning in the academic institution may be

determined by the teaching strategy of the teacher for a particular period when school

learning academic activity has been done.

It must be pointed out that the teacher’s learning style in teaching can be a factor

in the learning process. If a learner obtains high grades, it can be inferred that he may

also have learned a lot while low grades indicate low performance that leads to

different factors.

Although education is not the only road to success in the working world (Scheirgh

2003), much effort is made to identify, evaluate, monitor, track and encourage the

progress of students in schools (Larry – Harrison 2002). Parents’ care about their

child’s academic performance is vitally important because they believe that good

academic results or grades will provide more career choices and job security. Schools,

though invested in fostering good academic study habits for the same reason, are also

often influenced by concerns about the school’s reputation and the possibility of
monetary aid from government financial institutions (Emmons 2003), which can

hinge on the overall academic performance of the school.

It is believed that by making learning in school relevant and meaningful to the

children’s everyday lives and needs, the interaction between child and school will

become a more active and enriching experience, rather than a passive, tiring, or

alienating experience for the child (Taylor & Mulhall, 1995; 2).

Enhancing the quality of educational delivery is the ultimate goal and rationale

behind curriculum localization and the localization of schooling materials. UNESCO

notes, “A crucial dimension of quality education is that of relevance of curricula

content; the diversity of local (sub national), cultural, and socio-economic realities”.

Individual schools have limited resources. Individual teachers may have limited

knowledge of what is available in a local area. Lists of resources are therefore of

considerable value. Such lists can bedrawn up by individuals, but, even more

profitably, by groups of teachers sharing their knowledge. Both the lists themselves

and the process of making them would help to increase teachers' awareness of how

potentially rich local resources can be.

II. Action Research Questions

Statement of the Problem


This study seeks to determine the efficacy of using localized teaching materials in

Technology Livelihood Education Teaching among Grade 9 students.

Specifically, it seeksto answer to the following questions:

1. What is the common efficacy of using localized materials in language teaching among
grade 9 students?

2. What is the significant difference of using localized materials in language teaching when

data are grouped according to:

A. gender

III. Proposed Innovation, Intervention Strategy (Describe innovation/intervention)


Significance of the Study

It is therefore the researchers’ expectation that upon completion of this study, the

findings of the study will be beneficial to the language teachers, students, government

(?) and the general public in more ways than one.

First, this study will assist the Technology Livelihood Education teachers in

secondary school in (school) to adopt the consistent use of localized materials in the

Grade 9 classes to make learning interesting and enhance better understanding by the

students.

Since the use of localized materials in teaching in a formal or informal situation has

positive results in the sense that it enhances effective understanding in the learners, it

will therefore enable government to produce more instructional materials to all the

schools, to enhance productivity in education.


More so, it is seen and believed that the use of localized materials will immensely

help in creating comprehension in the mind of those that are slow to learn in the

school learners.

For proper discussion and understanding of abstract concepts and themes, materials

must be used to drive home the learning, and in concrete terms.

This research will also serve as a point of inquiry and reference for both learners and

members of the public who want to know or carryout related study on this area.

The study findings will enable the stakeholders to realize the importance of localized

materials in teaching.

The TLE teachers who are teaching in Grade 9 classes will be guided by the study

findings to choose the most efficient localized materials for classroom activities.

The findings of the study will also form a basis for further research on the role played
by localized materials in teaching TLE.

This study will benefit the following:

1. Administrators

They can develop comprehensive program as well as learning materials in teaching TLE;

and this will focus mainly on the development of the Grade 9 students. In this way, school

administrators will be great a help to all the students of Ayala National High School,

Zamboanga City.

2. Teachers
This study will serve as one of the bases for determining the students’ learning performances

using the localized materials in TLE, which certainly a basis for teachers to come up with
appropriate instructional materials and improve their teaching methodology to cope with the

needs of the clientele.

3. Students

The findings of this study will enable students to develop awareness regarding their

learning and performance level, and will consequently let them formulate means to

hone their ability to an optimum level.

4. Future Researches

The outcome of this study also may be an augmentation to the pool of knowledge and

a deeper understanding in using localized materials in TLE.

IV. Action Research Methods (Describe Action Research Methods)


a. Participants/Other sources of Data
The participants of the study will be the Grade 9 students of Ayala National High

School, Zamboanga City who were enrolled in the school year 2017-2018. There

are two intact classes for Grade 9 pupils that will represent the experimental

group and the control group. The experimental group will use localized materials

in teaching language while the control group will utilizethe traditional method of

teaching (chalk-talk method) Language.

b. Data Gathering Methods


The research instrument that will be used in this study is the achievement test

given to pupils in the pretest and posttest. The lessons that will be used in the
experimental and control group are identical and parallel but they vary on the

materials used in teaching the subject matter. The lesson plan will be adopted

from the Department of Education Teachers Guide. The experimental group used

localized materials in teaching TLE while the control group used traditional

method of teaching. The translated lesson plan is content validated by an expert to

secure the correctness and accuracy of the material itself.

The achievement test questionnaire is a 25 item test. This questionnaire was

made by the Master Teacher and Department Head TLE in Ayala National High

School. The same test will be used during the pretest and posttest. The coverage

of the test will be based on the topics of the lesson plan. The students‘

achievement in the experimental and control group of their pretest and posttest

will be interpreted using the percentage equivalent in Grade 9 which will be

adopted on their Report Card. The achievement test will be validated by the Grade

9 students of Ayala National High School who had already done with the lessons

when they were still in Grade 8.

c. Data Analysis Plan


There are different statistical techniques to be used in analyzing the data of this

study. The reliability of the instrument will be determined by Cronbach‘s Alpha

Coefficient.

Descriptive statistics will be used to describe the profile of the grade nine students

in terms of gender as well as the level of achievement in TLE teaching when

exposed to the used of Localized and traditional materials.


The Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) will be used to compare the pretest and

posttest for the significance of their difference using the pretest as the covariate

and will be used to determine the significant difference between the mean scores

of learners’ achievement in TLE teaching using localized materials and the chalk-

talk method when they are group according to the profile of the variable: gender.

REFLECT

What was your experience in writing the action research plan?


 It is hard writing the action research plan, thinking of problems and possible
actions but is good in feeling if there would be a solution in every problem in
school to provide a good teaching-learning process.

What knowledge, attitude and skills did you have that helped you accomplish it?
 Encouragement to do the plan, patience for possible interventions and solution for
the problem.

What do you still need to learn and develop in yourself to be a skilled teacher-researcher?
 I need to study and read a lot about research to be a skilled teacher-researcher.
