ANALYZE

1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners’ behavior?

Classroom organization and routines positively affected learners' behavior by providing

structure and predictability, which helped reduce anxiety and confusion, leading to better
focus and engagement.

2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classroom organizations
and routines? What theories and principles should you have in mind?

When designing classroom organization and routines, I should keep in mind

developmental theories like Piaget's, behaviorist principles such as reinforcement, and
constructivist approaches to create an inclusive environment that encourages
collaboration and active learning.

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? Is
motivating students? Why were they effective?

I found that effective behavior strategies included positive reinforcement, clear

expectations, and consistent routines, which motivated students by recognizing their
achievements and fostering accountability, ultimately enhancing their engagement and
reducing disruptive behaviors.

REFLECT

Reflect on the following and write your insights.

1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade year level do you
see yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider for this level Why?

In the future, I see myself organizing a classroom for 11th grade. For this level, I
would consider routines such as structured discussions, regular check-ins for progress
on assignments, and clear procedures for group projects. These routines are essential
because they promote independence, encourage critical thinking, and help students
manage their time effectively, which is crucial for their academic success.

2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implements in this level. Why would you choose
these rules?

Respect differing opinions: To foster an open and inclusive environment for discussions.
Be prepared and on time: To promote responsibility and respect for others' time.
Engage actively in discussions: To encourage participation and enhance learning.
Use technology responsibly: To ensure that devices are used as learning tools rather than
distractions.
I would choose these rules because they create a respectful and engaging atmosphere,
encourage accountability, and help students develop the skills necessary for success in
both academics and future endeavors.

3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?

Yes, learners should be involved in making the class rules because it fosters a sense of
ownership and responsibility among students. When they contribute to the rules, they are
more likely to understand their importance and adhere to them, creating a collaborative
and respectful classroom culture where everyone feels valued.

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

Paste pieces of evidences of classroom rules that work in class. You may also put pictures of the
physical space and learning stations which contribute to the effective implementation of
classroom management.
