Observation
INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OBSERVED OBSERVATION NOTES
Student Reporting (by group) One group discussed about the parts and
functions of a Manual Sewing Machine.
Demonstration The teacher shows and demonstrate
Assessment The teacher gave a short quiz after the
demonstration and discussions.
The reporter will paste their visual aids in front of the class and each member will report
it to the entire class. They entertain questions and clarifications at the end of the discussions.
The teacher that serves as facilitator gave her feedback and additional inputs about the topic as
well as she demonstrate and locate the parts of the sewing machine. Then, she gave a short
quiz.

2. Analysis
1. Considering the context of the class you have observed, such as its subject
matter/lesson, grade/year level, and the students, and the types of qualities of
knowledge emphasized in the instructional activities relevant? Articulate your thoughts.
Yes, it is relevant to the topic since the reporter gives the concept and context
and then the teacher gives the procedures in proper way of operating the sewing
machine.
2. If given the chance to teach in the class you observed, and given the same contexts,
what types and qualities of knowledge would you wish to emphasize and how will you
do it?
First, I will gain the attention of my students by showing parts of the sewing
machine. Then, I would allow somebody from my class to name the parts of the sewing
machine. Next, I will elaborate the parts of the sewing machine. After the discussions, I
will conduct performance exam to my students by allowing them to name the parts of
the sewing machine.
Reflections
Complete the lead statement.
I used to think that knowledge is only one way process and the teacher will be the only
one to supply the content and context.
After doing this observation, I now think that knowledge is a give and take process.
The teacher will supply the information and students will also share their thoughts about the
topic.
From the experience, I feel that learning takes place when there is a collaboration and
cooperation of the students and the teacher.
If only teachers will give the inputs about the subject, the class would be monotonous and
insufficient since there are things that the students know while the teacher don’t know and vice
versa. Ergo, learning takes place when the teacher and students cooperates.
