The document summarizes an observation of a classroom where a teacher used various teaching aids like the chalkboard, handouts, books, and whiteboard. The group members analyzed the teacher's choice of materials, any difficulties experienced, and the effectiveness of the teaching aids. They reflected on how they would similarly or differently approach teaching if they were the observed teacher.
it is topic of today to adopt necessary changes by medical teachers for implementation of competency based medical education curriculum dealt in RBCW workshop.
This was a sample textbook I made in my Education 406 class. It includes a table of contents with various chapters as well as a further in depth analysis of 2 of the chapters.
In this opportunity, I wrote the journals for each of the lessons I gave. However, there are some entries without descriptions as the lessons were called off because of teachers' strikes.

Your Analysis
3. 1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources that
she/he used?
2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?
3. Over-all, were the learning resources /materials used effectively? Why ? Why not?
Charlene Atig
Technology is a tool for a meaningful learning. During our observation in a
particular class a teacher used chalk board during her presentation of lessons. I
think teacher prompted to choose the materials/learning resources that she
used was it’s because she conceived that those aids was effective and suit to
her students’ needs of learning. And in other cares, maybe a teacher can’t use a
power point presentation it’s because there is no availability or lack of
computersthose instructional materials that can be used in teaching.
A teacher should facilitate evaluative process by focusing students’
attention in the effectiveness, efficiency of instructional materials. Teacher
experienced the difficulty especially students showing restlessness or boredom
to the presentation. So, it is often helpful for a teacher to shoe genuine
interest to the students. Or if not, she need to change her strategies in
teaching, aside from using visual aid, it’s better to use power point presentation
because it attracts students look and attention.
I can’t say that all those learning resources/materials were effective in used
to the students. Teacher was still need to adjust her plans to match the
changing interest and needs of the learners. During the discussion, students
show boredom about the presentation of the lesson because visual aid for me
describe as a dry tool to be used to the learners. Maybe, until now, that aid is
effective to some but using technology can create a meaningful learning that
transmits students effectively. It is much better to use power point to present
well the lessons clearly including some examples especially pictures.

4. During our observation, the instructional materials that were used by the
teacher were chalkboard, whiteboard, handouts, and books. The very common
teaching aids used in classroom. I think the teacher used those instructional
materials because she thought that it would be more effective to use those things
or strategies. Maybe she still not used to a power point presentation.
At the time that we observed, the students were reporting about a
particular topic given by their teacher. I think the difficulties that the teacher
experienced were: she can’t manage the class and the way her students behaved
while having a reporting because some were texting and some were chatting with
their classmates. I guess,for the teacher to manage those unnecessary things done
by her students during the reporting would become lessen if only if she will give
her full attention to her students and telling the students to listen and stop doing
something while the reporting is still going on.
The learning resources were somehow not effective because for me using
that instructional materials nowadays is dry and boring to look at. The students
won’t focus on the report because they’ll feel bored looking the same things used in
reporting. There is a need to enhance the ways or strategies that the teacher
applied. She must tell her students to used power point in their report so that the
class would be lively and they will focus in the reporting. There will be more
interaction between teacher and students. To also developed student’s
participation in class activities for that matter.

5. At this time and age, teachers have a wide a choices on what instructional
materials to use. However, when I visited the classroom and observed what
instructional materials or teaching aids that is used by the teacher the most
common instructional materials used are the chalkboard, handouts, books, and
whiteboard. Teacher used these instructional materials because its
inexpensiveness and it is economical and reusable.
When we observed a class, that time, the students are reporting about the
topic that the teacher assigned to them. The difficulty I observed in the teacher
she can’t handle the attitude of the students. Some of the students are talking
and got bored in the report because the reporters does not explain their report
they always read without analyzing the assigned topic. To manage this, teacher
should tell the students to give a copy about their report to their classmates so
that they will listen to the reports.
The learning resource/materials are used effectively because students
learning become more interactive through applying accepted learning theory. There
is an interaction between students and teacher which can enhance the student’s
participation or cooperation
Roxanne R. dela Cruz
The teacher might think that the materials she used might attract and will
stand as a reminder to the students who see it. It could be a resourceful tool to
student to master such learning objects.
The difficulties of a teacher would be the strategy they’ll make if they are
going to present pictures or illustrations to make it more clear and can easily
understood.
The materials were effective more some reasons but not enough for this new
generation because the school has poor learning materials it might cause students
to be NOT more competent and well-prepared in the future.
Reflection
6. Charlene Atig
As a future MAPEH teacher someday, I will first have my self-evaluation for
the improvement of learning. I used aids that create and contain well organized
Teaching aid materials. In my case, I should prefer to use slide presentation
because I think this aid present an applicable future understanding about the
needs of the learners and can really enhance instruction.
And at the end of the activity, students can gain competence in developing
and utilizing materials (slide presentation) which involve students in meaningful
learning. At this point student show interest to the lesson being presented.
EllvinePiaBonocan
Being a teacher is not that easy in fact it’s enjoyable dealing or teaching
different type of students. If I put myself in the place of the teacher where we
had our observation, the thing that I would do similarly is to give student’s reports
so that they can practice facing people or the class and to help them develop their
communication skills and to build self-confidence through reporting.
The thing that I will do differently is to change the teaching strategy that
was used by the teacher. If I will become a teacher soon, I want to make the
students or class lively in a way that the students won’t get bored in the class
because that is the only or reason why students don’twant to listen to the reports
or discussions. So, to minimize this, you as a teacher, you must find ways to
entertain student’s interests, you should have a sense of humor so that they’ll not
get bored sitting and listening to the report or discussion.
You must be patient enough to find ways or strategies that will be suit to
student’s interest to make your discussion more interactive and at the same time
effective. So, to awaken them, you must tell your students to make their reports
using a power point presentation because nowadays this is commonly used instead
of using visual aids. They should learn how to use a power point presentation in
reporting not to give their financial problem but to help them discover the use of
technology nowadays because in this generation it’s really needed and useful.

7. If I were on the part of the teacher, the teaching skills that I would similar
to her teaching strategies are the way I incorporate the instructional materials
into a lessons like giving handouts to the students about the topic and the way I
applied my teaching strategies to encouraged students to be active and alert
during the learning process like asking question to the students about the topic,
then each of the students should have an answered to that questioned, so that,
there is an interaction between the teacher and the students to make learning
process became more interesting.
Then the different strategy that I would do to make students motivate well
in the learning process before I discussed the lessons to the students, a number of
questioned about the topic can served from the students to arouse their interest
and focus their attention to the topic. As a whole, learning is meaningful when it is
connected to the student’s everyday life. A good teaching enhanced students to
interact in different classroom activities to make teaching learning possible.

As a student in the field of arts I’m going to make things clear and try my
best to do more original illustration. I’ll motivate my students to learn more than
just the content on the objects they see. Student-centered will be my primary
objective.
