The document discusses key elements of teaching and learning. It identifies the learner, teacher, and learning environment as the key players. It describes the learner as having both cognitive and appetitive faculties, including senses, intellect, emotions, and will. It notes factors like ability, aptitude, interests, background, and attitudes that contribute to differences between learners. It also discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and learning styles like visual/auditory preferences.
2. FOCUS QUESTIONS

ā¢ With what is the learner equipped that enable him/her to
learn?
ā¢ What professional and personal qualities must a
teacher possess to facilitate learning?
ā¢ What makes a conducive learning environment?
ā¢ What are the implications of these thoughts to the learner,

4. āMr. Gonzales is the best teacher
Iāve ever had. Knows Geography
from A to Z and keeps the class
hanging on every word. Weāre
almost sorry to hear the bell
ring.ā
āWhat a bore Mr. Rodriguez is! Heās
supposed to be teaching Geography of
Asia but he sounds as though he is
reading facts from an almanac.
Geography used to be my favorite
subject, but heās managed to make me
hate it as mush as math.ā

10. The Learner
ā¢ An embodied spirit
āA union of a sentient
body and a rational
soul
ļ± Body: experiences sensations, pleasure and
pain
ļ± Soul: the seat of principles and spiritual acts,
source of intellectual abstraction, self
reflection and free rational volition
11. The Fundamental Equipment of the
Learner
Cognitive
Faculties
ā¢ Five senses
ā¢ Instinct
ā¢ Imagination
ā¢ Memory
ā¢ Intellect
Appetitive
Faculties
ā¢ Feelings and Emotions
ā¢ Rational will
13. Five Senses

15. Instinct
ā¢ Came from the Latin word
āinstinctusā which means
āimpulseā
ā¢ The learner has a natural or
inherent capacity or tendency to
respond to environmental stimuli
such as danger signs for survival
or self-preservation
ā Examples: fleeing in case of danger,
fighting when attacked, rationalize
to defend himself when ego is hurt

mental image of something
that is not perceived
through the senses.

recalling past experiences.
18. Intellect
ā¢ By his/ her intellect, the learner can engage in
cognitive processes such as forming ideas or
concepts, reasoning out and making
judgement.
20. Feelings and Emotions
ā¢ Positive feelings and
emotions make the
teaching-learning process
an exciting and a joyful,
fruitful affair
ā¢ Negative feelings and
emotions make teaching-
learning process a burden
ā¢ The lessons that we learn and
remember the most are those
that struck us in one way or
another.
21. Rational Will
ā¢ The guiding force and
integrating force of the
learnerās character.
ā¢ This will makes the
learner free to choose

good as presented by
his intellect.

28. Howard Gardnerās Multiple
Intelligence Theory
Howard Gardner, a Harvard
professor, has identified eight
different types of intelligences
that each individual has the
capacity to possess. The idea of
multiple intelligences is
important because it allows for
educators to identify differing
strengths and weaknesses in
students and also contradicts the
idea that intelligence can be
measured through IQ.

Editor's Notes
Many things have been said of the teaching profession
-the noblest profession of all profession
-many splendored thing
-many-sided task
-its rewards are many except material
Why be a teacher?
-the answer you give will determine your success or failure in the classroom
-if your overriding motive is money, you are in the wrong profession. I am afraid you will find yourself miserable. Why not trading? Real-estate?
Teaching is not just a job. It is more than a job. It is a mission to carry out. We, teachers are called not only to instruct pupils in our subject but to be good influences on them. We, teachers have the power to influence our students to love learning.
Never underestimate your power as a teacher. Your power to influence and to make a difference in the lives of your pupils.
For us to have that inner power, never stop learning. Once a teacher always a student. When the teacher in you dies, you will start hating your subject and possibly your students too. You will burnout.
Teacher ā prime mover of the educational wheel
Learner ā key participant on the learning process
Favorable environment ā provides essential features and ingredients that could make a headway in guiding the teaching and learning processes
Every child is a potential genius. We may not see it from them when they are still young but yes, they are genius ones. They are maybe good in arts, language, mathematics, sciences, sports, and many more. However, how are we going to develop these intelligences?Ā As what the father of linguistic Noam Chomsky said, a child is born with innate skills and potentials. All we need to do is to activate these and scaffold them to successfully improve it within themselves. Ā So how can educators do this?
One of the richest resources of learning is the learner himself.
What do you mean by embodied spirit?
He is neither a spirit nor a body alone. Let us feed his/her body as well as his/her spirit.
What are the proofs that our government implements this idea?
Man does not leave by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
By his/her senses the learner is able to see, hear, feel, taste and smell whatever is to be learned.
By the power of imagination the learner is able to form representations of material objects which are not actually present to the senses.
By his power of memory he is able to retain, recall and recognize the past.
By his/her intellect she can for concepts or ideas, make judgements, choices and reason out.
Do you agree?
Our eyes contains 75% of the bodyās receptors and send millions of signals along the optic nerves to the visual processing centers of the brain.
We take in more information visually than through any of the other senses.
The more senses that are involved in learning, the more and the better the learning.
What should a teacher do to make this (instinct) helpful to learners?
-teacher must teach the learner to put his/her instincts under control. If not, he/she will not be different from any other brute that is bound by its instinct and will be far from becoming the human who is capable of understanding, reasoning, making choices and self control.
How can teacher develop studentās creative mind?
-His/her imaginative power is challenged in role playing, simulation, short story writing, drawing, inventing creative ways of reporting or presenting.
As teaching and learning process goes is at work. Area of a circle, stages of water cycle, literary pieces, presidents of the philippines and the like.
Memory work is the basic in learning but we do not encourage to let them memorize without understanding.
What should a teacher do to make this short term memories be stored in their long term memory?
-Make some rehearsals, let them pause and think, reviewing lessons
Recall the āassimilation, accommodation and equilibriumā
That is an example of concept formation
-make sure that what you taught first is right. To avoid misconceptions about terms, disequilibrium.
You scare learners they will perform poorly in the class.
Anxiety is the enemy of memory.
This means that the degree to which the learner is influenced by his environment depends ultimately to the strength of his will.
