1. Describe the Seven elements of teaching and learning process in your
workplace or school
1. Our institution's culture plays a key role in determining success and
failure. Educators are now framed with a single aim, vision, and
mission, which shapes their performance, engagement, attitude, and
dedication to the teaching and learning process in generating quality
education among learners. As a result, there is a good climate that leads
to productivity at all levels of expectation. Overall, our institutional
culture contributes significantly to how manpower cultivates a caring
culture that demonstrates support and humanity at work.
2. Department or Program Culture-As an educator, I am convinced that
understanding the department culture maps the department's
standard of excellence and the Matatag agenda. Within our department,
culture can be described using positive mantras such as, but not
limited to, department culture as challenging. Despite our workloads
and ancillaries, educators can demonstrate noble wisdom our
profession towards transmitting knowledge to all learners.
Furthermore, a fostering culture in which everyone advances
professionally. Furthermore, having a collaborative department means
working effectively together to achieve goals and objectives. Finally,
autonomy expresses a sense of ownership toward individual authority
in order to better educational outcomes.
3. Teachers- It is impossible to ignore the link between teacher culture
and the learning process, which is a major focus of educators.
Furthermore, educators create a pleasant school atmosphere by being
culturally attentive and moulding students toward holistic
development. In our institution educators builds creative inquiry to the
teaching and learning process wherein to measures how deeply learners
understand the lesson they are studying. In other words, the learning
objective cannot be realized if it is not used with questions that come
from the educators himself/herself. In addition, we believe in our sector
in several strategies that can foster a culture of excellence as well
engage our learners through critical thinking skills, inquiry skills and
meaningful life experience dialogue amongst learners.
4. Students- Despite the different and unique differences among our
institutional learners, they continue to acquire basic competencies
mandated by educational sectors in their curricula. As a result, their
education is a core of opportunities to equip forces with choices,
learning styles, values, and critical thinkers in a worldwide education
standard. Learners in our institution are especially resilient. Being
resilient in demonstrating knowledge, bridging academic gaps, and
eventually empowering to dwell in real-life situations. Regardless of the
2. conditions, our students can still contribute information, attitude, and
abilities for an excellent education.
5. Resource materials-In our institution one essential factor in teaching
and learning process is the learning resources where teaching- learning
materials enables a teacher to enhance the learning experience of all
learners. Thus, our school ensures that the resources provided to our
students are challenging and engaging and this should not offend
student due to offensive or controversial nature. Furthermore, it is
handled with sensitivity, consistent with the policy and guidelines of
the Department of Education.
6. Methodology/pedagogy- one major aspect of teacher education that has
received a lot of attention is the usage of methods. One strategy that we
used as educators was technological-based learning. This educational
material makes it easier for us to teach. This comprises both concrete
and non-concrete visual and audio-visual aids, as well as the use of
internet platforms like Google conferencing. As an educator, I am
convinced that using technology as instructional tools brings learning
to life by motivating students to study. Furthermore, it will assist us in
properly explaining new concepts, resulting in enhanced learner
understanding of the idea being taught. To summarize, technology is
critical in modern teaching and learning, and every learner's learning
habits can suffer as a result.
7. Setting- Academics and values are crucial areas to enhance in our
educational setting, while enhancing performance by ensuring students
remain accountable for their own decisions, habits, and triumphs. This
fuels motivation by explaining opportunities for personal development.
More importantly, morals are instilled. It is a critical key to balance
academic excellence, and social pursuits. In addition, in our school
setting it is a collective effort between stakeholders, teaching and non-
teaching staff towards student’s development and progress.
3. Explain how each of the 7 elements in your school contribute to quality
teaching and learning.
1. Teachers- Educators play critical roles in the lives of the students they
work with. They have an impact on what and how students learn in the
classroom every day. What distinguishes educators is their ability to
teach and influence others. First and foremost, educators must convey
knowledge derived from teaching a certain curriculum and ensure that
learners comprehend what is being taught. Furthermore, being a role
model both on and off campus. I am convinced that the quantity of time
students spend with their teachers has a certain level of influence on
them. Nowadays, educators do more than just teach. We educators are
now involved in counseling, mentoring, and teaching students how to
use and apply their knowledge in their daily lives.
2. Students- being a student entails more than just attending courses and
then going home. A student's responsibilities as a member of a school
are numerous. Furthermore, the contributions are not just for school
but also play an important role in personal development. With all of the
international education trends, learners have a range of opportunities
to contribute to the continued advancement of quality education.
Learners' perspectives on educational experiences as evaluators.
Listening to learner voices, in my opinion, helps to close gaps and bring
about improvements in the institution. More importantly, including
learners as decision-makers demonstrates the institution's
commitment to greater student involvement in changes to teaching,
learning, and institutional development. As an example, this occurs
frequently.
3. Institutional Culture- Having a culture only serves to bring us closer
together. As a result, it is critical to maintain a good culture of nurturing
great learning at all times. As a result, having a school culture is what
helps everyone feel at home even when they are not in one. Having the
same culture will assist everyone to have a diverse thought process
where improved possibilities for personal improvement will be
recognized and a support structure will be in place to focus on giving
quality education to all learners.
4. Technology-based learning is one of the methodologies that is now being
used. I am convinced that educational technology may be extremely
valuable for teaching and learning in order to provide a high-quality
education to all students. Learners can access courses and
assignments remotely using this instructional style, and those in rural
or remote places who may not be able to attend a typical learning setting
will benefit from this resource. Furthermore, because of its interactive
and collaborative nature, technology positively correlates with improved
learning results. As a result, kids are more likely to be motivated,
engaged, and enjoy improved communication in the classroom.
4. In conclusion, technology-based learning can be used to improve the
quality of educational experiences by increasing learning, adapting to
the individual, and elevating learning.
5. Resources- Learning is a complex activity that involves the interaction
of student motivation. instructional and learning resources at our
institution include institutional facilities, instructional resources, and
teaching and curriculum demand skills. I am convinced that the
presence of these resources improves school effectiveness since they are
the basic resources that result in strong academic performance in kids.
Furthermore, for an efficient teaching-learning process, these resources
should be offered in sufficient number and quality in schools.
6. Setting- Students are more likely to learn when they have a positive
perception of their educational setting. Creating an academic
environment that fosters a sense of belonging, a sense of competence,
and student autonomy will result in improved motivation to learn and
possibly improve educational quality. Furthermore, having a favorable
climate is strongly linked to academic success. For example, it can
boost attendance, success, retention, and even graduation rates. As a
result, having a safe and friendly school environment can foster
educational experiences.
7. Department culture-when considering how to build department culture
toward quality education, good communication and feedback
throughout the level of department should be braided in order to
encourage everyone and make them feel like they are a part of the
institution's mission. As a result, establishing a happy environment has
a significant impact not only in the department but also throughout the
spaces.
How does each element hinder the attainment of quality teaching and
learning in your school, if at all? What are the weaknesses of each of
these elements? How can the weaknesses be addressed? What need to
be improved?
In my opinion, methodologies are one gap that should be addressed in our
institution because one of the major concerns during class is managing the
behavior of individuals or groups; thus, educators set strategies that may be
used; however, teachers' dynamics must be understood, and behaviors,
teaching approaches, or methodologies must be adjusted. Again, different
learners' learning demands, methods, or styles may exist. In this regard,
teachers must understand the needs and preferences of the learners and
develop lesson plans accordingly to satisfy the learning objectives of all
learners rather than specific people. Most importantly, teachers must
recognize the learning hurdles.
5. Identify other factors that are critical to attaining quality teaching and
learning in your school and explain why?
Teaching method is the mechanism that is used by the teacher to organize
and implement a number of educational means and activities to achieve
certain goals. Teaching techniques are the means that reflect the success of
the learning process and the competencies of the teacher. Being a teacher, I
always need to look for new ways to deliver knowledge to my learner, and in
many occasions, I found that traditional teaching methods become not
effective as it used to be due to the current advancement in technology.
Therefore, teaching becomes more effective when it performed in a quicker
response to the needs of the learner, so that blending various techniques to
deliver knowledge and ideas become necessary. Selecting teaching
methodology is an element to hinder quality teaching and learning. In my
personal view, there are techniques that is best for particular class of study.
By example, the online teaching method. Teaching occurs outside a
traditional classroom using internet. As the way of learning changes, the way
of teaching is also changed. With this, online teaching weaknesses often the
limited view of administrator to online program as a way to increase revenues,
not as a mean of providing quality education by giving adequate technology,
proper facilitator training, and limitation of class size, all of these would have
the impact on the success of an online program. Moreover, not every subject
can be taught online because the current electronic medium does not permit
the best method on instruction. Examples are subject such as public
speaking, surgery, sport and physical movement. The development in
technology may solve this problem or permit using hybrid courses as a
temporary solution. Lastly, in a public institution like ours not everyone
(learners) has the access of full capacity of internet connection and
equipment.
In addition, the used of lecture as teaching methodologies. I firmly believe this
is the main roller where learners represent the passive element while the
facilitator represents the active one. Thus main concern of weaknesses could
be boring time-spent by the learners, communication is one way, learners are
spoon fed, and passive, and facilitator concentrate on information that
learners.
In conclusion, we the teachers must know all students do not learn in the
same way at the same time. Students also have a variety level in any
particular subject and teaching methodologies. Therefore, we the teachers
should continuously close the gaps in finding the best suited of the learners.
