1. 1. As I observe a class, I will use the Observation Sheet for a more focused
observation.
OBSERVATION SHEET
Name of the Resource Teachers observed: Mrs. Candelaria Torrevillas
Mrs. Liezel Caermare
Mrs. Ma. Cristina Galgo
School Address: GCCNHS Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental Date: Aug. 3, 2016
Grade/Year Level: Grade 9 and 7 Subject Area: English, Science and Math
Guiding Principles in Determining and
Formulating Learning Objectives
Teacher Behavior/s which Prove/s
Observance of the Guiding Principle
1. Begin with the end in mind.
1. On my observation, The Resource
Teacher ensures that her lesson
objectives are SMART. Based in our
interview with her, she shared her
technique in planning objectives. She
said that excellent lesson objectives
must be Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Result Oriented and Time-
Bounded. I can really prove it because
as the class started I can observe that
the whole learning experience was
well thought and planned and it
corresponds to the objectives that she
had set.
2. Share lesson objective with
students.
2. For this second guiding principle in
determining and formulating learning
objectives, I noticed that the Resource
Teacher imparts her lesson objectives
including plans and purpose of lesson for
her students.
3. Lesson objectives must be in the
2 or 3 domains – cognitive, skill
and affective or cognitive and
affective or skill and affective.
3. Based on the totality of the lesson
discussed, the lesson was holistic and
complete because it had targeted the 3
domains which are the knowledge, skills,
and values. The lesson for that day was
about a poem entitled “when I was one
and twenty”, throughout the lesson, they
2. showed their skills in reading, as they read
each stanza of the poem with correct
pronunciation considering their accents
and pausing (skill domain). After reading
the literary piece, questions are
administered by the resource teacher to
check the student’s comprehension and
understanding about the poem
(cognitive domain). Lastly, with the
concern on integrating values in the
lesson, there was also a question that
tested their reasoning skills which guided
the students to interpret and find out the
true meaning and essence of the poem
that leads for the development of their
values and affection towards the poem
(affective domain).
4. Work on significant and relevant
lesson objectives.
4. The teacher provided learning objectives
which are essential for the students’
development and it was significant in a sense
that it targeted the 3 domains. By doing that
it invoked the students’ critical and creative
thinking, behavioral progress and honed their
reading skills.
5. Lesson objectives must lead to
the development of critical and
creative thinking.
5. The lesson objectives provided by the
teacher directed the students’ thinking into
rational one. Their own way of describing and
explaining was also been nurtured and
enhanced into a more artistic way by
enabling them to share their insights,
opinions, and interpretations.
2. After observing your Resource Teacher teach, write down what you think was /
were her lesson objective.
At the end of period, the students will be able to:
a. State and explain the meaning of the poem “When I was one and
twenty”.
b. Appreciate and feel the emotion the poem is conveying.
c. Actively participate in the reading activity.
3. 3. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for you to copy her lesson objective
for the day’s lesson. Copy it here then compare it with your answer in # 2. Are
they the same? Different?
At the end of period, the students will be able to:
a. Analyze and interpret the poem “When I was one and twenty”.
b. Appreciate and feel the emotion of the poem.
c. Actively participate in the oral reading activity.
The objectives of the resource teacher are the same with the objective that I had
formulated, I guess it was due to the fact that the objectives where clearly observed
and attained as well during the learning process, though they differ in the use of words
but the thoughts are in unison.
MY ANALYSIS
1. If answer in # 3 above is different, what is your conclusion regarding written
lesson objective and actual lesson development? Are lesson objectives in the
lesson plan always followed? Do they really serve as guiding star?
My answer in #3 is the same with the teacher but if it will come to an
instance that they are not the same then I can conclude that learning objectives
serve as a guide for the teachers on how he/ she will direct learning to the
students, but sometimes not all of those objectives can be actualized in the
actual lesson development because there are unexpected responses of the
learners that should be addressed and will somehow hinder achieving such
objectives. That is why being a teacher means being flexible and adaptable
because not every time your plan will be followed so, you need to make sure
that even if the actual lesson development deviates from your plan, teachers
should still bridge it to the objectives but if it is impossible to bridge then at least
satisfy the need of the learners if they are facing confusions with regards to the
subject matter.
2. Why did you find it easy/difficult to write down the Resource Teacher’s lesson
objective for the day? Did she mention it at the beginning of her/his lesson?
I find it quite easy to write the objectives because the resource teacher
used appropriate method and materials needed to be utilized for her goals and
4. objectives for that lesson, also that due to the smooth transition of the learning
experience you can really identify the objectives being implied.
3. Did you find the lesson objective SMART? Why or Why not?
Yes, her learning objectives were classified as SMART in such a way that
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result-oriented, and Time-bounded). I can
really prove that the lesson objectives were SMART because at the end of the
lesson you can really tell that the objectives are attained because it is
quantifiable and observable during the instructional process and assessment.
4. Was the lesson objective in the cognitive or psychomotor or affective domain?
Or was it in the two or three domains? Support your answer.
The lesson objectives used by the resource teacher was in the three
domains of learning. When the students were asked about what they had
understood or perhaps share their own interpretation of the poem cognitive
domain was enriched. When the students were also asked what is the mood or
feeling conveyed and what values they can get from the poem affective
domain has been enriched in that part. While their psychomotor domain was
enriched when they were grouped and the students showed active
participation in reading the literary piece orally.
My Reflections
Any lessons learned or insights gained from your observation focused on lesson
objectives? Write them down here. Are lesson objectives truly the guiding star in the
development of a lesson? Or are lesson objectives sometimes forgotten as the lesson
develops?
Lesson objectives are set of goals that the students must cope within the period of
time. Based on my observation, the teacher directed the learning to the students
through the use of her objectives. Her goals are in the three-domains of learning which
5. made the student more knowledgeable and equipped with the topic. The knowledge,
skills and attitudes are all developed in the set aims and objectives.
Learning objectives can be truly considered as a guiding star in the development of
the lesson. It is said to be the expected learning outcomes of the students. Knowledge
and learning can be controlled effectively and efficiently through complying with the
objectives provided for that day. Additionally, the goals that are being set will make the
demonstration of lesson well-directed and concentrated on the established aims and
targets. Those objectives will be tied up on the success or failure of gaining learning in
every presentation of lesson, and it could be assessed through the performance of the
students during the evaluation part of the lesson. That is why I as what I have stated
earlier that if there are unexpected responses of the students that will hinder you from
achieving the objective you must always find away on how to bridge it towards your
learning objectives.
Learning objectives are Important when creating lesson plans. They provide
students with information about what they are going to be learning while giving them
an indication of how their learning will be measured. There are a few rules on writing
excellent learning objectives that should be followed. Unfortunately, many teachers do
not spend the time to create effective, measurable lesson objectives before they write
their lesson plans. We know that once you started making the objectives specific and
measurable you will soon find out that you were able to use them like a blueprint to
keep you on task as you teach your lessons in class.
MY PORTFOLIO
My researched quotations that state the significance of goals and objectives
(Don’t forget to state your source)
“You can Never Give Up and Never Quit because if you really think
about it, there are a multitude of other people who are relying on you
to excel and succeed in achieving your goals and objectives.”

Teachers play an important role in molding young minds of every
individual. They serve as model and students sometimes imitate and idolize them.
6. So teachers should always influence them with positivity and values. The teacher
should not surrender in directing the learning of the students using their lesson
objectives being established. There might be times that everything may be out of
control yet, how teachers deal with those struggling times will be the determinant
of the success of their profession, which is not merely to teach, but to mold, lead
and inspire young minds.
