FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE
FS 1 1
The School as a Learning
Environment
This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school
environment that promotes learning and development.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school
environment that is safe, secure, and is supportive of learning (PPST 2.1.1).
1. A physical environment conductive for learning is one that has consistent practices
that:
 Keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
 Maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
 Address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students.
2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning
environment. They help in building and establishing the school culture. These boards
become one way for everyone to learn about the vision- mission, goals and values that
the school uploads.
3. As a basic part of the school’s visual environment, display boards have four general
purposes:
 Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the
social and psychological atmosphere of the school.
 Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater
confidence. An example would be the display of students’ outputs that show that
each output is recognized and valued. The bulletin board help celebrate the
learners’ growth and progress.
 Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
 Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through
interactive displays. They get students to think about and communicate their
learnings.

To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, work my way through these steps:
1. Visit a school. Look around into facilities and support learning areas in the campus,
then in the classroom.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
4. Reflect on the characteristics of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good environment through and of these:
a) Descriptive paragraph b) Photo essay
b) Sketch or drawing c) Poem, song or rap
As you move around, observation form is provided for you to document your
observation. It is advised that you read entire worksheet before proceeding to the social site. A
good understanding of the activities and tasks to be accomplished in the activity sheets will
yield better learning results
SCHOOL FACILITIES OBSERVATION CHECKLIST
Familiarize yourself with the different areas and facilities of the school. Check the column to
indicate their availability. Give a brief description of those that are available, and say how each
will contribute to the students’ learning and development.

Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to observe learners of different ages and
grade levels. It highlights the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future teacher,
it is important for me to determine my learners’ characteristics and needs so that I will be able
to plan and implement learning activities and assessment that are all developmentally
appropriate.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics, need and
interests of learners from different developmental levels. (3.1.1).
Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode:
1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as,
from the head to the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then
outwards (proximodistal)
2. Development takes place gradually.
3. All domains of developmental and learning physical, social and emotional, and
cognitive- are important, and they are closely interrelated. (NAEYC, 2009)
4. Developmental proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or
representational capabilities. (NAEYC, 2009)

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the characteristics and needs of learners from diverse backgrounds;
 Identify the needs of students with different levels of abilities in the classroom;
 Identify best practices in differentiated teaching to suit the varying learner needs
in a diverse class (PPST 3.1.1); and
 Demonstrate openness, understanding, and acceptance of the learners’ diverse
needs and backgrounds.
Here are principles of concepts relevant to this Episode:
1. Principles of Development
a. Development and learning proceed at varying rate from child to child, as well
as at uneven rates across different areas of the child’s functioning. (NAEYC
2019)
b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to
achieve at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they
have many opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.
c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match
the learning content, activities and assessment to different characteristics,
abilities, interests, and needs of the learners.
2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners:
a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences
b. Learners’ linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents
d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic
isolation, chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban
resettlement or disaster, child abuse and child labor.
Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors mentioned
affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They remember that
the learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers assure the students that their
gender identity, culture and religion are respected, their strengths are recognized, and
their needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that everyone has the chance to learn
and succeed. They create a learning community where everyone can work together and
contribute regardless of their abilities, capacities and circumstances.
Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:
31 | P a g e
REVISIT the Learning Essentials
 Use strategies to build a caring community in the classroom
 Model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions
 Bring each of the student’s home culture and language into the shared culture of
the school
 Provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition
3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples
A young teacher’s approach to indigenous peoples starts with a keen awareness
of one’s own identity, including one’s beliefs and cultural practices. Through serious
reflection one may realize that the self is a product of all influences of key people in
one’s life and the community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous
groups carry with them their beliefs, views and cultural practices. One’s attitude needs
to be that of openness and respect. Come in not with the view that one’s own culture is
superior, we approach with the sincere willingness and deep interest to know and
understand the indigenous peoples’ culture. We aim to make teaching-learning
facilitative rather than imposing.
a. From your professional education subjects/courses, most likely you have discussed
indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country has about 110
ethno-linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao, some in Northern
Luzon and fewer in the visayas. (UNDP Philippines, 2010). They represent about 10-
20% of our total population. There are two big indigenous peoples groups which
have several smaller ethics groups within them, the non-muslim groups called the
Lumads in Mindanao, and the Igorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have
the Badjaos, Ati and Tumandok, Mangtans and Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act, recognizes and
protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and indigenous peoples
(IP). Our country was admired by other nations for enacting this law, however,
years later, so much still has to be done to improve the lives of millions of people
from indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis, 2017)
c. Guided by RA 8371, in 2016 DepEd issued DO 32, s.2015, Adopting the Indigenous
Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework. Most useful for you as a
future teacher to remember are the 5 Key Elements of Indigenous Peoples
Education Curriculum (DO 32, s.2015 enclosure, pp. 15-18):
1. Curriculum Design, Competencies and Content. Interfacing the national
curriculum with indigenous knowledge systems and practices (IKSPs) and
Indigenous Learning system (ILS) the design of a culturally appropriate and
responsive curriculum has the following features:
a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community’s
world view, and its indigenous cultural institutions.
b. Includes and respects the community’s expression of spirituality as part of
the curriculum context.
c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity.
32 | P a g e
d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengthens, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and
indigenous languages.
e. Emphasize competencies that are needed to support the development and
protection of the ancestral domain, vitality their culture, and the
advancement of indigenous peoples’ right and welfare.
f. Supports the community’s cultural integrity while enabling meaningful
relations with the broader society.
2. Teaching Methodologies and Strategies. A culturally appropriate and
responsive curriculum employs teaching methodologies and strategies that
strengthen, enrich, and complement the community’s indigenous teaching-
learning process.
3. Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and responsive
curriculum recognizes that the ancestral domain where IKSPs are experienced,
lived, and learned is the primary learning environment and learning space of
indigenous learners.
4. Learning Resources. Instructional materials, and other learning resources
shall be developed and utilized in line with the described curriculum content
and teaching-learning processes.
5. Classroom Assessment. Assessment shall be done utilizing tools appropriate to
the standards, competencies, skills, and concepts being covered. Their design and
use shall address the needs and concerns of the community and shall be
developed with their participation.
5.
Observation differences among learners’ gender, needs, strengths,
interests, and experiences; and differences among learners’ linguistic,
cultural, socio-economic, religious backgrounds and difficult
circumstances.

The learners’ differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect the quality of
teaching and learning. This activity is about observing and gathering data to find out how
student diversity affects learning.
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps:
33 | P a g e
OBSERVE, ANALYZE, REFLECT
Activity 3.1
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (Beginning of the day, class time,
recess, etc.)
Step 2. Described the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and social and
cultural diversity.
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom.
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that she uses in
dealing with diversity in the classroom.
Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners’ interactions.
The observation form is provided for me to document my observation.
An observation Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics
Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your observation
report on the space provided on the next page.
1. Find out the number of students. Gender data as their ages, gender, racial groups,
religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
During class:
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students interact
with one another and with the teachers. Are there groups that interact more with the
teacher than others.
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they behave
and interact differently?
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperative with or
compete against each other?
4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most help?
5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the classmates
try to help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher will call them
instead?
34 | P a g e
OBSERVE
Outside class:
1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogeneously, by age? By
gender? By racial or ethnic groups? By their interests? Or are the students in mixed
social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected the
learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.
Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse students due to
following factors:
 Gender, including LGBT
 Language and cultural differences
 Differences in religion
 Socio-economic status

Learner Diversity: The
Community and Home
Environment
Episode 4 provides opportunities for you to have a more in-depth look into the factors
that affect the development of a learner. Focus will be on the early experiences and
characteristics of the learner as described by the family and other significant others. You will
also focus how the teacher links with the community to maximize the learning and
development of students.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the student’s
learning;
 Seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parent’s/ guardian and
the wider community (6.2.1); and
 Identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the family.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials
1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of
layers of relationship systems that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are:
Microsystem-
Includes the
structure such
as one’s family,
school and
neighborhood
Mesosystem-
The connection
between the
structures in
the microsytem
Exosystem-
The bigger social
system which
includes the city
government, the
wokplace and the
mass media
Macrosystem-
Outermost
layer which
includes
cultural values,
customs and
laws
Chronosystem-
The element of
time, patterns of
stability and
pacing of the
child’s everyday
life.
The model helps the teacher look into every aspects in the learner’s environment to
understand his behavior. The teacher’s important role is not to replace what is missing at home
(if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and nurtures
families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring
out the best in every learner.
2. Baumrind’s Parenting Styles
Authoritarian. Parents are very firm with their children and except unwavering
and unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met with
withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats.
Permisive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations.
Maybe warm and caring but appear to be involved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither demanding
nor responsive to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or guidance.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have clear
and reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with respect
and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their behavior.
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile,
and aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permisive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are often
impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of independence
and responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be least competent in their over-all
functioning and adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater
ability to show self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted.

FS 1 5 Creating an Appropriate Learning
Environment
This learning Episode provides an opportunity to examine how classrooms are
structured or designed to allow everyone’s maximum participation for effective learning. You
should be able to examine how classroom management practices affect learning. This Episode
enhances the application of the theories learned in the following professional subject such as
Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching and The Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning
Principles.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Plan how to manage time, space, and resources; and
 Provide a learning environment appropriate to the learners and conducive to learning.
These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning
1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes.
2. Learning is an active process. “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand”
REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS
The classroom climate that is conducive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet
business-like. It is a classroom where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the following
are observed:
 Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear.
 Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
 Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures.
 Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are established and
negative consequences for such are communicated.
 Classroom practices are democratic.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Understanding the School Curriculum
FS 1 8 Close Encounter with the School
Curriculum
Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to resign total
learning activities appropriate for each learner in each grade level. Thus schools have
recommended curriculum which is the enhanced K to 12 curriculum. The recommended
curriculum was translated into written curriculum like books, modules, teachers’ guides and
lesson places which are the basis of the taught curriculum. A teacher who implements the
curricula needs support materials (support curriculum) to enhance teaching and learning so
that the written and the taught curricula can be assessed (assessed curriculum) in order to
determine if learning took place (learned curriculum). However, there are so many activities
that happen in school but are not deliberately planned. This refers to the hidden curriculum.
A classroom teacher plans, implements and evaluates school learning activities by
preparing a miniscule curriculum called a lesson plan or a learning plan. The teacher then puts
life to a lesson plan by using it as a guide in the teaching-learning process where

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this episode. I must be able to:
 Identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting;
 Describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning, implementing
lesson through different strategies and assessment of learning outcomes; and
 Analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching strategies and
assessment.
School Curriculum: What is this about?
From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such
definition of total learning outcomes to com fine to a specific learning space called school.
School are formal institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are the learners
and the teachers.
Basic education in the Philippines is under the Department of Education or DepEd and
the recommended curriculum in the K-12 or Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All
basic education schools offering kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and secondary
(Grades 7-10, Junior High School and Grades 11to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national
curriculum as a guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.
What are the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It is a
curriculum that:
1. Strengthen the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. Makes the curriculum relevant to the leaners. The use of contextualized lessons and
addition of issue like disaster preparedness, climate change and information and
communication technology (ICT) are included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth
knowledge, skills and values, attitude through continuity and consistency across every
level and subject.
3. Builds skills in literacy. With the use of mother tongue as the main language in studying
and learning tools from K to 1Grade 3, learners will become ready for higher level skills.
89 | P a g e
REVISIT the Learning Essentials
4. Ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a spiral progression
where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they study the complex ones in the
next grade level. The progression of topics matches with the development and cognitive
skills. This process strengthens the mastery and retention.
5. Gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finished education in Grade 12 will be
ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of careers will be defined when they go
to Grade 11 to 12.
6. Nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner will be ready to
embark on different career paths for a lifetime.
You will recall that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in the
country.
 The enhanced curriculum K to 12 curriculum is the Recommended
Curriculum. It is to be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.
 When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency
standards of the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects
the substance of RA 10533 or enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the
teacher’s class it is the lesson plan. A lesson plan is a written curriculum in
miniscule.
 What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life
to the written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The
guidance of the teachers is very crucial.
 A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects,
gadgets, laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement the
curriculum. This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
 In order to find out if the teacher has been succeeded in implementing the lesson
plan, an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the
lesson. The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
 The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned
Curriculum. Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates
accomplishment of learning outcomes.
 However, these are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not written, nor
deliberately taught but they influence learning. These includes peer influence,
the media, school environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and
may more. This curriculum is called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit
Curriculum.
So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school
curriculum, especially in the K to 12 or enhanced curriculum for the basic education?
Teachers then should be multi-talented professionals who:
 Know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
 Write the curriculum to be taught;
 Plan the curriculum to be implemented;
90 | P a g e
 Initiate the curriculum which is being introduced;
 Innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;
 Implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
 Evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

SPARK YOUR INTEREST
This episode gives emphasis on the principles of learning which must be applied to ensure
quality instruction. It also focuses on the intended learning outcomes which set the direction of
the lesson. They must be (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Attainment, Realistic, and Time-
bound) formulated in accordance with time-tested principles. It also determines the teaching
method used by the Resource Teacher whether (inductive or inductive) which is the practical
realization or application of an approach. This episode dovetails with the course on Facilitating
Learner-Centered Teaching.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this episode, I must be able to:
 Identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the principles of teaching
learning;
 Determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied in
instruction;
 Judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;
 Determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are achieved at the end of
the lesson.
 Observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher; and
 Differentiate the different methods of teaching.
These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning
3. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes.
4. Learning is an active process. “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I
understand”
5. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the
opportunity to connect what they learn with the other concepts learned, with real world
experiences and with their own lives.
6. Learning is cooperative and a collaborative process.
A teaching method consist of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-learning process. It is
the practical realization of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified either
deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE
FS 1 10
The Instructional Cycle
V
This Episode centers on the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
methods. It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum
and teacher education curriculum are focused on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode
dwells on types of questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make
use of. The type of questions that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and
reacting to student responses have a bearing on class interaction. This Episode
strengthens the theories learned in the course, Teaching Methods and Strength and in
other professional subjects in Education.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of
teaching strategies.
 Determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with
outcomes based teaching and learning.
 Identify the Resource Teacher’s questioning and reacting techniques.
 Outline a lesson in accordance with outcome teaching-learning.
These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more sense that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhance learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits
of information.
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its
K to 12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) has been ahead of DepED and the Commisssion on Higher Education (CHED)
in the practice of Competency Standards-Based teaching and Assessment. CHED
requires all higher education institution in the country to go outcome-based education
(OBE) in its Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE
applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to competency-based and
standards-based teaching and learning in the Kto12 Curriculum.
115 | P a g e
REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS
When you apply OBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs)
and in turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning
outcomes. In other words, in OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes
(lesson objectives). Then you determine which teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and
also the assessment tasks (ATs) you will have to use to find out if you attained your
ILOs.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery
learning of teach and the AT’s are the evaluation part.
Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the
art of questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of
instructions.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.
Types of Questions that Teachers Ask
1. Factual/Convergent/Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions
With one acceptable answer
2. Divergent/Open-ended/High-level/
Higher-order/Conceptual
Open-ended; has more that one
acceptable answer
a) Evaluation
b) Inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked
it up, she was all smiles. What can you
infer about Liz.
c) Comparison
d) Application
e) Problem-solving
3. Affective e.g. How do you feel?
These are also some of the reading techniques that teachers use:
1. Providing acceptance feedback
2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow-up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
116 | P a g e
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as “okay”, “right”

With the lightning speed by which technology is involving, and now with 4.0,
technology continues to be an ever significant part of the learning environment. This
episode provides an opportunity for students to examine a Learning Resources Center or
Multi-Media Center and learn about its collection, service, equipment, observe how a
teacher utilizes technology for instruction, and explore resources in the virtual learning
environment. Students will analyze and reflect on how technology, including artificial
intelligence, supports the teaching-learning process.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Identify and classify learning resource materials in the multi-media center;
 Show skills in the positive use of ICT to facilitate the teaching-learning process
(PPST 1.3.1);
 Show skills in the evaluation, selection, development, and use of a variety
learning resources, including ICT to address learning goals (PPST 4.5.1);
 Analyze the level of technology integration in the classroom; and
 Demonstrate motivation to utilize ICT for professional development goals based
on the PPST (PPST 7.5.1)
The Information and Communication Technology Competency Framework for
Teachers (ICTCFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers’
development on the effective and appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what
teachers should know and do clustered in six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in
Education, 2. Curriculum and Assessment, 3. Pedagogy, 4. Application of Digital Skills, 5.
Organization and Administration, 6. Teacher Professional Learning.
Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which
guide teachers as they develop their ICT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to
Level 2, Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Communication on
Higher Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so
most likely you have tackled this in your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes.
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this
episode. The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect about the
competencies discussed in the framework.
The Learning Resource Center

SPARK YOUR INTEREST
1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the
teaching-learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved.
Some of the names are Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource
Center, Teaching-Learning Technology Department, Or Simply Learning
Resource Center.
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcomes was the ever-
expanding interface between the traditional library and ICT both in term of
hardware and software system and application.
3. School may have different set-up when it comes to a Learning Resource Center
(LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a separate
library, LRC, and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some only have the LRC both for
teachers and students. Still some have combined their learning resource center
with maker space.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio visual and
ICT resources to support the teaching-learning process.
5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use of
audiovisual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in
producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the
students, teachers, and the school community.
6. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must fulfill
the following function: center of resources, laboratory of learning, and agent of
teaching, service agency, coordinating agency, recreational reading center, and a
link to other community resources.
Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for
you to define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and
guide you in the process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher’s
integration of technology in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels:
entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and
enables quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the
learning environment are being active, collaborate, constructive, authentic, and goal-
directed.
The technology integration matrix connects the levels of technology integration
and the characteristics of the learning environment. Examine the matrix below. To
make you understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment,
explore the TIM website and learn from the many interesting videos showing
technology integration.

126 | P a g e
Technology Integration
Matrix
Levels Of Technology Integration Into The Curriculum
Entry: the teacher uses technology to
deliver curriculum content to
students.
Adoption: the teacher directs
students in the conventional
use of tool-based software. If
such software is available, this
level is the recommended entry
point.
Adoption: the teacher
encourages adaptation of
tool-based software by
allowing students to
select a tool and modify
its use to accomplish that
task at hand.
Infusion: the teacher
creates a learning
environment that
infuses the power of
technology tools
throughout the day and
across subject areas.
Transformation: the
teacher creates a rich
learning environment in
which students regularly
engage in activities that
would have been
impossible to achieve
without technology.
Active: students are
actively engaged in using
technology as a tool rather
than passively receiving
information from the
technology.
Students use technology for drill and
practice and computer-based
training.
Students begin to utilize
technology tools to create
products, for example using a
word processor to create a
report.
Students have
opportunities to select
and modify technology
tools to accomplish
specific purposes, for
example using colored
cells on a spreadsheet to
plan a garden.
Throughout the school
day, students are
empowered to select
appropriate technology
tools and actively apply
them to the task at hand.
Given ongoing access to
online resources,
students actively select
and pursue topics beyond
the limitations of even
the best school library.
Collaborative: students use
technology tools to
collaborate with others
rather than working
individually at all times.
Students primarily work alone when
using technology.
Students have opportunities to
utilize collaborative tools, such
as email, in conventional ways.
Students have
opportunities to select
and modify technology
tools to facilitate
collaborative work.
Throughout the day and
across subject areas,
students utilize
technology tools to
facilitate collaborative
learning.
Technology enables
students to collaborate
with peers and experts
irrespective of time zone
or physically distances.
Constructive: students use
technology tools to build
understanding rather than
simply receive
information.
Technology is used to deliver
information to students.
Students begin to utilize
constructive tools such as
graphic organizers to build
upon prior knowledge and
construct meaning.
Students have
opportunities to select
and modify technology
tools to assist them in
the construction of
understanding.
Students utilize
technology to make
connections and
construct understanding
across disciplines and
throughout the day.
Students use technology
to construct, share, and
publish knowledge to a
worldwide audience.
Authentic: students use
technology tools to solve
real-world problems
meaningful to them rather
than working on artificial
assignments.
Students used technology to complete
assigned activities that are generally
unrelated to real-world problems.
Without the support of technology
tool
Students have opportunities to
apply technology tool to some
content-specific activities that
are based on real-world
problems.
Students have
opportunities to select
and modify technology
tools to solve problems
based on real-world
issues.
Students select
appropriate technology
tools to complete
authentic tasks across
disciplines.
By means of technology
tools, students
participate in outside-of-
school projects and
problem-solving
activities that have
meaning for the students
and the community.
Goal Directed: Students
use technology tools to set
goals, plan activities,
monitor progress, and
evaluate results rather
than simply completing
assignments without
reflection.
Students receive directions, guidance,
and feedback from technology, rather
than using technology tools to set
goals, plan activities, monitor
progress or self-evaluate.
From time to time, students
have the opportunity to use
technology to either plan,
monitor, or evaluate an
activity.
Students have
opportunities to select
and modify the use of
technology tools to
facilitate goal-setting,
planning, monitoring,
and evaluating specific
activities.
Students use technology
tools to set goals, plan
activities, monitor
progress, and evaluate
results throughout the
curriculum.
Students engage in
ongoing metacognitive
activities at a level that
would be unattainable
without the support of
technology tools.

Evaluation of ICT Resources
The World Wide Web is like an endless network of information, ever-expanding
and almost limitless. Electronic resources come in different forms like websites, web
quests, blogs, social network sites, on-line courses, a wide range of tools, and so many
forms of apps.
As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be most useful for you is the ability
not only to search for information but to make decisions, as to which ones you will take
internet resources. You will be able to choose the best resources that will help you attain
you teaching-learning objectives.
Below is a set of criteria which you can use to evaluate:
1. Accuracy- the resource material comes from a reliable source and is
accurate, free from error and is up-to-date.
2. Appropriateness- the resource is grade/level-appropriate. The content
matches what is needed by the teacher.
3. Clarity- the resource clearly addresses the instructional goals in mind.
4. Completeness- the content is complete. It has all the information needed to
be able to use them.
127 | P a g e
5. Motivation- the resource is engaging the rewarding to learners. It will
encourage the active participation of the learners.
6. Organization- the resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which
steps should be taken. The procedures or processes flow smoothly.
(Based on the work of Fitzgerald, Mary Ann, Lovin, Vicki, and Branch, Robert Maribe
(2003). A gateway to Educational Materials: An Evolution of an Online Resource for
Teachers and an Exploration of User Behaviors. Journal of Technology and Teacher
Education. 11 (1), 21-51).
Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th
wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented
speed at which technology is involving has disrupted many vital processes that involve
how we run production, businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The
following Technology trends have huge potential to transform the ways teach
and learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resource (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for
teaching and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees.
There is an abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials,
curriculum maps, streaming videos, multimedia apps, and many others. They
can have a significant impact on education as they are made available and easily
accessible in the internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this
episode.
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact,
learn about things and share information. Sites and apps such us facebook ,
twitter, Instagram provide a virtual venue for teacher and learners to work
together interact among themselves and with other classrooms locally and
globally.
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and
also one who send the most number of text message per day. This indicates the
high number of mobile device users. These devices can also be used as a learning
tool by allowing teachers and students more opportunities to learn inside and
even outside the classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. Lot is a system of computing mechanism that built-in
into many everyday things, that allow sending and receiving data through the
internet. A lot of things have turned “smart”. We have smart cars that can
navigate on its own. Smart houses that monitor temperature and light. Smart
TVs that interface with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our
doctor. All of these development can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when
computers or machine simulate thinking and behavior of humans such as
talking, learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa,
Bixby and Google assistant are near samples of AI. Among others, uses of AI in
128 | P a g e
Education can be in the areas of gamification and adaptive instruction for
learners with special needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an
environment by a computer program that allows a person to visit and experience
the environment virtually. In AR, images form computer programs interlay with
the actual views of the real-word, resulting in an extended, expanded, or altered
view of a real-world environment. In education, among others, VR and AR
programs and apps allow more exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things
that add to the motivation and engagement of learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interaction and transaction are done
electronically, and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is
generated and sorted. The challenge is how sense of this data, through analytics
and research pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning most
effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and
websites. Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as
early as kindergarten. Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary
programs introduce and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps learners
develop novel ways of exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with
the problem or project-based learning approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly
technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, It is crucial to
ensure that human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology.
Ethical practices that protect the rights of every person need to be upheld.

Online
All aspects of the courses are delivered online.
Course
The MOOC of offers a full course experience including:
 Educational content. May include video, audio, text, games, simulations, social
media and animation
 Facilitation interaction among peers. Builds a learning community through
opportunities to internet
 Some interaction with the teacher or academic stuff
 Activities/tasks, tests, including feedback. Participants are provided with some
feedback mechanism. Can be automatically generated like quizzes, feedback
from peers or the teacher
 Some kind of (non-formal) recognition options. It includes some kind of
recognition like badges or certificate of completion. A formal certificate is
optional and the most likely has to be paid for.

Assessment in an essential part of the instructional cycle. The instruction cycle
consists of: 1. setting the intendent learning outcome/s, 2. Selecting a teaching
methodology, strategy and activity that are aligned to the learning outcome and topic
which are developmentally appropriate to the learners and 3. Assessment itself.
Assessment is the part of the instructional cycle that determines whether or not the
intended learning outcome has been attained and so necessarily, the assessment task
must be aligned to the intended learning outcome.
In a lesson on assessment, we can speak of assessment for learning, assessment
of learning and assessment as learning.
This episode will dwell on assessment for learning and assessment as learning.
Assessment for learning is referred to as formative assessment while assessment as
learning is referred to as self-assessment.

Assessment FOR Learning and
Assessment AS Learning
(Formative Assessment)
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this episode. I must be able to:
 Demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of formative assessment; and
 Explain the importance of formative assessment.
 In Outcome-based Teaching-Learning/Competency-based Teaching/Teaching by
Objective, we ensure that the intended outcome/competency/objective is attained
at the end of the lesson and so while we are still in the process of teaching, we do
check learners’ understanding and progress.
 If we found out that the learners failed to understand prerequisite knowledge and
skills we reteach until learners’ master them. This is called FORMATIVE
assessment, assessment while the learners are being formed or taught. It is
assessment in the midst of instruction.
 Formative assessment is also referred to as assessment for learning. Assessment for
learning simply means we do assessment to ensure learning.
 We do not wait for the end of the lesson to find out if learners understood the
lesson or not because if it is only at the end of the lesson that we discover that the
learners did not understand the lesson, we have wasted so much time and energy
teaching presuming that everything was clear, only to find out that end of the
lesson that the learners did not understand the lesson at all. This means that we
have to reteach from the very beginning something that we could have saved
ourselves from doing had we given time to find out if the lesson was understood
while still teaching.
 Assessment for learning encourages peer assessment.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials
 Assessment as learning means assessment is a way of learning
 It is the use of an ongoing self-assessment by the learners in order to monitor their
own learning.
 This is manifested when learners reflect on their own learning and make necessary
adjustment so that they achieve deeper understanding.
 Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own
learning.
 It requires students to ask question about their learning.
 It provides ways for students to use formal and informal feedback and self-
assessment to help them understand the next steps in learning.
 It encourages self-assessment and reflection.
Observe a class and find out practices that reflect assessment as learning. Record your
observations.

 Critique traditional assessment tools and tasks for learning in the context of established
guidelines on test construction
 Traditional assessment tools are also called paper-and-pencil tests.
 Traditional assessment tools usually measure learning in the cognitive domain
 Traditional or paper-and-pencil tests can be classified either as selected-
response test or constructed-response/supply type of tests.
 Common examples of selected – response type of tests are alternate response test
(True-False, yes-no), multiple choice and matching type of test.
 Common examples of constructed-response type of test are short answer,

 Evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics
 There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools.
 Authentic/ non-traditional /alternative assessment tools measure learning outcome
like performance and product.
 These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric.
 A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student’s work that includes descriptions of
levels of performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013)
 The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.
 There are two types of rubrics – analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on
each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole.
 For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
 For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.
 A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is
rated, the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance.
 Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the
assessment tool used by the teacher.
 With teacher’s permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.
 Study the assessment tool then accomplish Observation Sheet.
 Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?
 What type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use – analytic or holistic?

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
 Evaluate a sample portfolio
 Distinguish among the 3 types of portfolio
 A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work
accompanied by clear criteria for performance with prove student effort, progress or
achievement in a given area or course.
 A portfolio of student’s work is a direct evidence of learning. But is not a mere collection
of student’s work. The student’s reflection must accompany each output or work
 A portfolio is different from a work folder, which is simply a receptacle for all work,
with no purpose to the collection. A portfolio is an international collection of work
guided by learning objectives.
 Effective portfolio systems are characterized by clear picture of the student skills to be
addressed, student’s involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio, use of criteria
to define quality performance as basis for communication, and self-reflection through
which students share they think and feel about their work, their learning and about
themselves.
 There are several types of portfolio depending on purpose. They are: 1) development or
growth portfolio, 2) best work or showcase or display portfolio, and 3)
assessment/evaluation portfolio.
1. Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio, if any, if there are, select one best
portfolio from what you examined.
2. If none, research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts.
3. Based on the sample portfolio given by your Resource Teacher/ researched by you,
accomplish Observation Sheet #
4. Put a check in the right column.

4. Selective significant pieces – The
portfolio includes only the
selected significant materials.
5. Student’s reflection – There is
evidence that students reflected
on their learning.
6. Evidence of student
participation in selection of
content of portfolio – There is
proof that students took apart in
the selection of the content of
the portfolio.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Knowing the Quality teacher
FS 1 14
The Teacher as a
PERSON and as a
PROFESSIONAL
What is really like to be a TEACHER? Why is being a TEACHER
considered as one of the most respected professionals in the Philippines? What
makes a teacher differently better than any other profession? What characterize
a teacher a teacher as a person and as a professional?
This Episode will provide you a chance to observe teachers in their own
workplace at school in order to answer the questions asked.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the personal qualities and competences of effective classroom teachers; and
 Enumerate the professional characteristics of practicing teachers observed as based on
the professional standards and code of ethics for the profession.
“My Teacher, My Hero” was a banner during the World Teacher’s Day
celebration in the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real
heroes? What do you think? Why?
My answer is YES! Here are my reasons.
Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers
To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve the
country just like any other hero. To be a teacher requires a lot of personal and
professional qualities. These qualities make an excellent Filipino teacher an exceptional
professional.
First, the teacher must have innate qualities or attributes that are exemplary and
are fitted to be teachers. These are natural tendencies of a person. Here are some of the
qualities and attributes that distinctly characterized a teacher.
REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS
SPARK YOUR INTEREST
Personal Qualities of Teachers and the Descriptors
Personal Qualities What the teacher IS and DOES
Lives with dignity that
exemplifies self-respect,
integrity and self-
discipline
 This teacher is honest, has integrity, self-respect and self-
discipline. Likewise, respected by students, peers and the
community.
Takes care of one’s
physical, emotional and
mental well-being
 This teacher is physically, emotionally and mentally
healthy. Clean and neat, dresses appropriately and pleasant
in words and in action.
Lives a life inspired by
spiritual principles and
beliefs
 This teacher behaves according to the personal spiritual
beliefs that are not contrary to the norms, mores and
tradition of the community.
Exhibits deep
knowledge and
understanding across
disciplines
 This teacher is mentally alert, makes correct decision,
intelligent to be able to acquire new knowledge, skills and
values needed in order to teach. She/he has the ability to
learn new things, re-learn old knowledge in new ways, and
un-learn knowledge, skills and values that are no longer
applicable to the current times.
Recognizes own
strength with humility
 This teacher sets high goals for himself/herself, but
remains humble and willing to share success. He/she is
confident of doing task but does not consider self to be
better than others all the time.
Perseveres in
challenging situation
 This teacher is calm in the midst of chaos, remains
steadfast under pressure, does not easily give up and adjust
to different situations.
Demonstrates a natural
action to work together
with others
 This teacher volunteers tasks for others, always willing to
share, extends help willingly, accepts responsibility,
tolerant of other people, and gives up time for the group.
Not everyone has these qualities, hence not everyone can be a good teacher. As the old
saying goes; “Teachers are born but good teachers are both born and made.”
Professional competence of Filipino Teachers
Going to teacher training institutions and earning a teaching degree mean
developing a professional teacher like you. You can only become a professional teacher
if you earn a degree to teach in either elementary level or high school level. You should
also earn license to teach by passing a licensure examination for teachers. While
studying in college you are learning the ropes of becoming a professional teacher. You
learn the content courses including the major or specialization and the professional
courses including the pedagogy courses. Your professional courses include experimental
learning courses that include Field Study 1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship.
These are Important in your preparation to become professional teachers.
So what are the professional competencies that every teacher should have? You
will find these in the matrix that follow.
Professional Competencies of Filipino Teachers
Professional Competencies What the Teacher DOES
Abides by the code of ethics for the
profession
 This teacher practices the rules and
conduct of professional teachers.
Masters the subject matter to be taught  This teacher masters and updates
himself/ herself with subject matter
content to be taught.
Updates oneself on educational trends,
policies and curricula
 This teacher keeps abreast with
educational trends, policies and curricula
by taking up graduate students, attending
seminars and workshops.
Uses teaching methods to facilitate
students learning
 This teacher practices different ways of
teaching appropriate to the learners and
the subject matter.
Builds a support network with parents
and community
 This teacher engages the cooperation of
parents and stake holders in educating
the learners.

Serves beyond the call of duty  This teacher does task and works even
beyond the official time when needed.
So, it is not easy to become a professional teacher. The demand is great. A
qualified professional teacher then is like a HERO.
Now you are ready to identify if the enumerated characteristics are found
among the teachers you are going to observe.
There are two observation activities in this Episode. Activity 1 will identify the
Personal Characteristics of the Teacher and Activity 2 will identify the Professional
Competencies of the Teacher.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Towards Teacher Quality:
Developing a Global Teacher
of the 21ST
Century
FS1 15
SPARK Your Interest
Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A global teacher of the 21st
century!
In 2013, a Global Status Index was determined by Varkey GEMS Foundation and
revealed significant findings. There were 21 countries surveyed which represented the
major continents of the world. In most countries that participated, it was found out that
like the Philippines, teaching is the most sought profession. It was comparable to being
a social worker, librarians, nursing and even doctors. Majority of the parents asked,
answered that they encourage their children to become teachers. To them, teaching is
one of the most respected and trusted profession.
However, with the change in global landscape, the 21st
century teachers must
have the competence to address the new learning environment, the new learning
contents, the processes of learning and how these are facilitated and the new types of
learners.
Hence, we need the type of teachers, a glocal 21st
century Filipino teacher.
(Global Teacher Status Index p. 123 Teaching Profession)
TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the personal qualities and competencies of a glocal classroom teachers of the
21st
century; and
 Design a learner-centered classroom for the 21st
century learners with learning spaces
that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT.
REVISIT the Learning Essentials
FILIPINO GLOCAL TEACHER
A survey of ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are three
major responsibilities of teachers. These are (1) Actual Teaching. (2) Management of
Learning and (3) Administrative Work.
While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world, in
our country, teaching in the public schools requires six hours of actual teaching, that
includes administrative work such as management of learning per da. The two hours of
the working day is allotted to administrative work such as scoring and recording
learners’ outputs, making reports, filling forms, preparing for the next day’s activity and
performing other administrative tasks. The previous episode on the teacher, reminded
us of the qualities and competencies mentioned earlier. Teachers should be multi-
literate, multi-cultural, multi-talented, innovative and creative. The future Filipino
teacher like you shall act locally but think globally.
“Teach local, reach global” means that the teacher brings diverse experiences in
the classroom with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global society.
What teachers do in the local communities impacts the larger community. As global
citizens, the work begins, where the teachers are, thus a “global” teacher.
Towards Quality Glocal teachers
Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in
the 21st
century education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2) Financial,
economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, and (4) Civic and Health Literacy
which require:
1. Learning and Innovative Skills
2. Information, Media and Technology Skills
3. Life and Career Skills
More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can
demonstrate exemplary mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions
relative to the following characteristics:
1. Understand one’s own cultural identity and rootedness
2. Knows and integrates global dimensions in the subject area
3. Engages learners in the learning processes
4. Uses real life local and global examples
5. Values the inputs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners
6. Models social responsibilities in local and global content
7. Encourage learners to find appropriate actions to improve local and global the
conditions, and
8. Creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations.
The Challenges of the Quality Glocal Teachers for the 21st
Century
One of the major challenges of quality teachers is to “create a learning
environment that encourages creativity and innovations among learners.” With it,
comes the management of learning in such environment. These are required skills for a
global teacher.
Majority of the current classrooms provides learning spaces that can hardly
prepare the 21st
century learners for the development of the 21st
century skills.
Since the 21st
century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a
facilitator of learning. Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work
on interdisciplinary projects that cover several subject areas. Learning is no longer for
memorizing and recalling of information but on learning how to learn. Thus classroom
designs should respond to the 21st
century learning. More so, quality teachers should be
changing their roles from teaching in isolation to co-teaching, team teaching and
collaboration with students and peers.
A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well as the
management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to address the new
roles of teachers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the sex elements
of a new classroom:
1. Flexibility of furniture and space
2. Collaborative learning
3. Facilitation of movement
4. Foster creativity
5. Use of technology
6. Provision of light and bright colors
7.
With the classroom structure, a quality teacher should be able to manage
learner under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher should use
effective classroom management strategies that will ensure productive learning.
Quality teacher should manage learning in an enhanced classroom by
seeing it to it that learners are:
- Organized,
- Orderly,
- Focused,
- Attentive,
- On task, and
- Are learning.
This will take much of your skills, experience and patience. The two
important factors that may affects learning management are the use of
technology and the diversity of learners.

One thing asked of teacher applicants in the Department of Education is to write
their philosophy of education. This means that they have to write their concept of the
nature of the learner, how that learner learns and how that learner ought to live life
meaningfully. Based on these philosophical concepts, the teacher applicants describe
how they ought to relate to the learner, what to teach and how to teach so that the
learner learns and lives life happily and meaningfully.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of these Episode, I must be able to:
 Determine prevailing philosophies of education based on DepEd Vision and Mission
statements, core values and mandate, K to 12 Curriculum Framework and Guide and RA
10533;
 Cite teacher’s teaching behaviors and the philosophies of education on which these
behaviors are founded; and
 Articulate my philosophy of teaching.
We’ are beneficiaries of a rich philosophical heritage passed on to us by
great thinkers of the past and of the present. The way teachers relate to learners
and the way they teach are anchored on philosophies of education.
Basic documents such as the vision and mission statements, core values and mandate of
the Department of Education and the features of the K to 12 Curriculum as contained in
Section 3 of RA 1053 and the K to 12 Curriculum Guide are manifestations or expressions
of the philosophies of education of the country. They state the standards and the
outcomes of education towards which all curricular activities and teaching-learning
should be directed

-Essentialist
2. Perennialism- teach those that
last, the classics; there are
universal, objective values
Any proof of Perennialism?
3. Progressivism- very child-
centered; teach those that interest
the child; one learners by
experience; learners learn by
doing so teacher’s teaching is
experiential; values are subjective;
no inculcation of values since they
are subjective; instead teachers
help students clarify their values
Any proof of progressivism?
4. Reconstructionism- school is
agent of change; schooling is
preparing students in discussion
of moral dilemmas
Any proof of reconstructionism?
5. Existentialism- Teachers teach
learners to make a choice, to make
decisions and not merely to follow
the crowd; one who does not
make a choice and so simply
follow others do not leave
meaningful life
Any proof of existentialism?
6. Pragmatism- That which is
useful, that which is practical and
that which works is what is good;
that which is efficient and
effective is that which is good. E.g.
showing a video clip on mitosis is
more efficient and more effective
and therefore more practical than
teacher coming up with a visual
aid by drawing mitosis on a
cartolina or illustration board.
Any proof of pragmatism?
7. Rationalism- emphasizes the
development of the learner’s
reasoning powers; knowledge
comes though reason; teacher
must develop the reasoning power
of the learner
Any proof of rationalism?
8. Utilitarianism- what is good is
that which is most useful (that
which brings happiness) to the
greatest number of peoples;
Any proof of utilitarianism?
10. Behaviorism- behavior is
shaped deliberately by forces in
the environment and that the type
of person and actions desired can
be the product of design; behavior
is determined by others, rather
than by person’s own free will;
teacher must carefully shape
desirable behavior; drills are
commonly used to enhance
learning rewards reinforce
learning.
Any proof of behaviorism?
11. Constructivism- learners are
capable of constructing
knowledge and meaning; teacher
does not just “tell” or dictate but
asks learners for knowledge they
construct and meaning of lesson
Any proof of constructivism?

 Observe how teacher relates to every learner and how he/she proceeds with her
teaching.
 Accomplish this Observation Sheet.
Here are philosophies of education. Find out which philosophies were manifested in
class by observing what and how teacher teaches and relates to learners.
Activity 16.2
OBSERVE
Philosophies of Education Teaching Behavior (State what
the teacher said, taught or did).
1. Essentialism- tech mastery of the basics;
curriculum is prescribed; subject matter
centered there are universal, objective values;
inculcate values; subject
In what way was teacher essentialist?
e.g. He/she saw to it that the students
mastered basic concepts and skills.
He/she inculcated values
2. Perennialism- teach those that last, the
classics; there are universal values; inculcate
these universal, objective values
3. Progressivism- very child-centered; teach
those that interest the child; one learns by
experience; learners learn by doing so teacher
teacher’s teaching is experiential; values are
subjective; instead teachers help students clarify
their values.
4. Reconstructionism- school is agent of change;
schooling is preparing students for the social
changes; teaching is involving the students’ in
discussions of moral dilemmas
5. Existentialism- Teachers teach learners to
make a choice, to make decisions and not merely
to follow the crowd; one who does not make a
choice and so simply follow others do not leave
meaningful life
6. Pragmatism- That which is useful, that which
is practical and that which works is what is good;
that which is efficient and effective is that which
is good. e.g. showing a video clip on mitosis is
more efficient and more effective and therefore
more practical than teacher coming up with a
visual aid by drawing mitosis on a cartolina or
illustration board
7. Rationalism- Emphasizes the development of
the learners’ reasoning powers; knowledge
comes though reason; teacher must develop the
reasoning power of the learner
8. Utilitarianism- what is good is that which is
most useful (that which brings happiness) to the
greatest number of peoples;
9. Empiricism- source of knowledge is through
the senses;; teacher must involve the senses in
teaching- learning
10. Behaviorism- behavior is shaped deliberately
by forces in the environment and that the type of
person and actions desired can be the product of
design; behavior is determined by others, rather
than by person’s own free will; teacher must
carefully shape desirable behavior; drills are
commonly used to enhance learning, rewards
reinforce learning.
11. Constructivism- Learners are capable of
constructing knowledge and meaning; teaching –
learning therefore is constructing knowledge
and meaning; teacher does not just “tell” or
dictate but asks learners for knowledge they
construct and meaning of lesson
12. Other Philosophies
1. Based on your findings and observations in Activity 16.1 and Activity 16.2, which
philosophies of education are dominant in Philippine basic schools? Why do you say so?
2. If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more attention to,
what should that be and why?

    FIELD STUDY 1LEARNING EPISODE FS 1 1 The School as a Learning Environment This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school environment that promotes learning and development. TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school environment that is safe, secure, and is supportive of learning (PPST 2.1.1). 1. A physical environment conductive for learning is one that has consistent practices that:  Keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;  Maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and  Address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students. 2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning environment. They help in building and establishing the school culture. These boards become one way for everyone to learn about the vision- mission, goals and values that the school uploads. 3. As a basic part of the school’s visual environment, display boards have four general purposes:  Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social and psychological atmosphere of the school.  Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence. An example would be the display of students’ outputs that show that each output is recognized and valued. The bulletin board help celebrate the learners’ growth and progress.  Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.  Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through interactive displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learnings. 0 | P a g e REVISIT the Learning Essentials SPARK YOUR INTEREST

    Episode 2 providesme with an opportunity to observe learners of different ages and grade levels. It highlights the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future teacher, it is important for me to determine my learners’ characteristics and needs so that I will be able to plan and implement learning activities and assessment that are all developmentally appropriate. TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics, need and interests of learners from different developmental levels. (3.1.1). Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode: 1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as, from the head to the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards (proximodistal) 2. Development takes place gradually. 3. All domains of developmental and learning physical, social and emotional, and cognitive- are important, and they are closely interrelated. (NAEYC, 2009) 4. Developmental proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or representational capabilities.

    To realize theIntended Learning Outcomes, I will work your way through these steps: Step 1 Observe 3 groups of learners from different levels (preschool, elem., and high school). Step 2 Describe each of the learner based on my observations. Step 3 Validate my observation by interviewing the learners. Step 4 compares them in terms of their interests and needs. Use the observation guide and matrices provided for you to document your observations. An Observation Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation report on the provided space. Your teacher may also recommend another observation checklist if a more detailed observation is preferred. Physical 1. Observe their motor skills how they carry themselves, how they move, walk, run, go up the stairs, etc. 2. Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth? 3. How about their motor skills? Writing, drawing, etc. Social 1. Describe how they interact with teachers and other adults. 2. Note how they also interact with peers. What do they talk about? What are their concerns? Emotional 1. Describe the emotional disposition or temperament of the learners. (happy, sad, easily cries, mood-shifts) 2. How do they express their wants/needs? Can they wait? 3. How do they handle frustrations? 4. Describe their level of confidence as shown in their behavior. Are they self- conscious? Cognitive 1. Describe their ability to use words to communicate their ideas. Note their language proficiency. 2. Describe how they figure out things. Do they comprehend easily?

    TARGET YOUR INTENTEDLEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:  Describe the characteristics and needs of learners from diverse backgrounds;  Identify the needs of students with different levels of abilities in the classroom;  Identify best practices in differentiated teaching to suit the varying learner needs in a diverse class (PPST 3.1.1); and  Demonstrate openness, understanding, and acceptance of the learners’ diverse needs and backgrounds. Here are principles of concepts relevant to this Episode: 1. Principles of Development a. Development and learning proceed at varying rate from child to child, as well as at uneven rates across different areas of the child’s functioning. (NAEYC 2019) b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to achieve at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they have many opportunities to practice newly acquired skills. c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match the learning content, activities and assessment to different characteristics, abilities, interests, and needs of the learners. 2. The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of learners: a. Differences in learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences b. Learners’ linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds c. Learners with disabilities, giftedness, and talents d. Learners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation, chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or disaster, child abuse and child labor. Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors mentioned affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They remember that the learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers assure the students that their gender identity, culture and religion are respected, their strengths are recognized, and their needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that everyone has the chance to learn and succeed. They create a learning community where everyone can work together and contribute regardless of their abilities, capacities and circumstances. Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom: 31 | P a g e REVISIT the Learning Essentials

     Use strategiesto build a caring community in the classroom  Model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions  Bring each of the student’s home culture and language into the shared culture of the school  Provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition 3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples A young teacher’s approach to indigenous peoples starts with a keen awareness of one’s own identity, including one’s beliefs and cultural practices. Through serious reflection one may realize that the self is a product of all influences of key people in one’s life and the community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous groups carry with them their beliefs, views and cultural practices. One’s attitude needs to be that of openness and respect. Come in not with the view that one’s own culture is superior, we approach with the sincere willingness and deep interest to know and understand the indigenous peoples’ culture. We aim to make teaching-learning facilitative rather than imposing. a. From your professional education subjects/courses, most likely you have discussed indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country has about 110 ethno-linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao, some in Northern Luzon and fewer in the visayas. (UNDP Philippines, 2010). They represent about 10- 20% of our total population. There are two big indigenous peoples groups which have several smaller ethics groups within them, the non-muslim groups called the Lumads in Mindanao, and the Igorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have the Badjaos, Ati and Tumandok, Mangtans and Aetas. b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act, recognizes and protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and indigenous peoples (IP). Our country was admired by other nations for enacting this law, however, years later, so much still has to be done to improve the lives of millions of people from indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis, 2017) c. Guided by RA 8371, in 2016 DepEd issued DO 32, s.2015, Adopting the Indigenous Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework. Most useful for you as a future teacher to remember are the 5 Key Elements of Indigenous Peoples Education Curriculum (DO 32, s.2015 enclosure, pp. 15-18): 1. Curriculum Design, Competencies and Content. Interfacing the national curriculum with indigenous knowledge systems and practices (IKSPs) and Indigenous Learning system (ILS) the design of a culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum has the following features: a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community’s world view, and its indigenous cultural institutions. b. Includes and respects the community’s expression of spirituality as part of the curriculum context. c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity. 32 | P a g e
  • 34.
    d. Revitalizes, regenerates,strengthens, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and indigenous languages. e. Emphasize competencies that are needed to support the development and protection of the ancestral domain, vitality their culture, and the advancement of indigenous peoples’ right and welfare. f. Supports the community’s cultural integrity while enabling meaningful relations with the broader society. 2. Teaching Methodologies and Strategies. A culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum employs teaching methodologies and strategies that strengthen, enrich, and complement the community’s indigenous teaching- learning process. 3. Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and responsive curriculum recognizes that the ancestral domain where IKSPs are experienced, lived, and learned is the primary learning environment and learning space of indigenous learners. 4. Learning Resources. Instructional materials, and other learning resources shall be developed and utilized in line with the described curriculum content and teaching-learning processes. 5. Classroom Assessment. Assessment shall be done utilizing tools appropriate to the standards, competencies, skills, and concepts being covered. Their design and use shall address the needs and concerns of the community and shall be developed with their participation. 5. Observation differences among learners’ gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences; and differences among learners’ linguistic, cultural, socio-economic, religious backgrounds and difficult circumstances.

    1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’sbio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of layers of relationship systems that make up the learner’s environment. The layers are: Microsystem- Includes the structure such as one’s family, school and neighborhood Mesosystem- The connection between the structures in the microsytem Exosystem- The bigger social system which includes the city government, the wokplace and the mass media Macrosystem- Outermost layer which includes cultural values, customs and laws Chronosystem- The element of time, patterns of stability and pacing of the child’s everyday life. The model helps the teacher look into every aspects in the learner’s environment to understand his behavior. The teacher’s important role is not to replace what is missing at home (if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes and nurtures families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the family and the community to bring out the best in every learner. 2. Baumrind’s Parenting Styles Authoritarian. Parents are very firm with their children and except unwavering and unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met with withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats. Permisive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations. Maybe warm and caring but appear to be involved and uninterested. Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither demanding nor responsive to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support or guidance. Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children with respect and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their behavior. Children of: Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited, hostile, and aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers. Permisive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are often impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of independence and responsibility. Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be least competent in their over-all functioning and adjustment. Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater ability to show self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better adjusted. -Bases on Child Development by Santrock, 2004. 53 | P a g e

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Understanding the School Curriculum FS 1 8 Close Encounter with the School Curriculum Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to resign total learning activities appropriate for each learner in each grade level. Thus schools have recommended curriculum which is the enhanced K to 12 curriculum. The recommended curriculum was translated into written curriculum like books, modules, teachers’ guides and lesson places which are the basis of the taught curriculum. A teacher who implements the curricula needs support materials (support curriculum) to enhance teaching and learning so that the written and the taught curricula can be assessed (assessed curriculum) in order to determine if learning took place (learned curriculum). However, there are so many activities that happen in school but are not deliberately planned. This refers to the hidden curriculum. A classroom teacher plans, implements and evaluates school learning activities by preparing a miniscule curriculum called a lesson plan or a learning plan. The teacher then puts life to a lesson plan by using it as a guide in the teaching-learning process where 88 | P a g e SPARK YOUR INTEREST

    TARGET YOUR INTENTEDLEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this episode. I must be able to:  Identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting;  Describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning, implementing lesson through different strategies and assessment of learning outcomes; and  Analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching strategies and assessment. School Curriculum: What is this about? From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such definition of total learning outcomes to com fine to a specific learning space called school. School are formal institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are the learners and the teachers. Basic education in the Philippines is under the Department of Education or DepEd and the recommended curriculum in the K-12 or Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic education schools offering kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and secondary (Grades 7-10, Junior High School and Grades 11to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12. What are the salient features of the K to 12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It is a curriculum that: 1. Strengthen the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue. 2. Makes the curriculum relevant to the leaners. The use of contextualized lessons and addition of issue like disaster preparedness, climate change and information and communication technology (ICT) are included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and values, attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject. 3. Builds skills in literacy. With the use of mother tongue as the main language in studying and learning tools from K to 1Grade 3, learners will become ready for higher level skills. 89 | P a g e REVISIT the Learning Essentials

    4. Ensures unifiedand seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a spiral progression where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they study the complex ones in the next grade level. The progression of topics matches with the development and cognitive skills. This process strengthens the mastery and retention. 5. Gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finished education in Grade 12 will be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of careers will be defined when they go to Grade 11 to 12. 6. Nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner will be ready to embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in the country.  The enhanced curriculum K to 12 curriculum is the Recommended Curriculum. It is to be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act 10533.  When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency standards of the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It reflects the substance of RA 10533 or enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013. In the teacher’s class it is the lesson plan. A lesson plan is a written curriculum in miniscule.  What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is putting life to the written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught Curriculum. The guidance of the teachers is very crucial.  A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects, gadgets, laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement the curriculum. This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.  In order to find out if the teacher has been succeeded in implementing the lesson plan, an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or end of the lesson. The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.  The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned Curriculum. Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates accomplishment of learning outcomes.  However, these are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not written, nor deliberately taught but they influence learning. These includes peer influence, the media, school environment, the culture and tradition, natural calamities and may more. This curriculum is called Hidden Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum. So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with the school curriculum, especially in the K to 12 or enhanced curriculum for the basic education? Teachers then should be multi-talented professionals who:  Know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;  Write the curriculum to be taught;  Plan the curriculum to be implemented; 90 | P a g e

     Initiate thecurriculum which is being introduced;  Innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;  Implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and  Evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

    This episode givesemphasis on the principles of learning which must be applied to ensure quality instruction. It also focuses on the intended learning outcomes which set the direction of the lesson. They must be (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Attainment, Realistic, and Time- bound) formulated in accordance with time-tested principles. It also determines the teaching method used by the Resource Teacher whether (inductive or inductive) which is the practical realization or application of an approach. This episode dovetails with the course on Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching. TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this episode, I must be able to:  Identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the principles of teaching learning;  Determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied in instruction;  Judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;  Determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are achieved at the end of the lesson.  Observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher; and  Differentiate the different methods of teaching. These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning 3. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes. 4. Learning is an active process. “What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand” 5. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the opportunity to connect what they learn with the other concepts learned, with real world experiences and with their own lives. 6. Learning is cooperative and a collaborative process. A teaching method consist of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-learning process. It is the practical realization of an approach. All methods of teaching can be classified either deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect). 103 | P a g e REVISIT the Learning Essentials

    V This Episode centerson the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods. It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and teacher education curriculum are focused on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode dwells on types of questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of questions that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and reacting to student responses have a bearing on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories learned in the course, Teaching Methods and Strength and in other professional subjects in Education. TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:  identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching strategies.  Determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with outcomes based teaching and learning.  Identify the Resource Teacher’s questioning and reacting techniques.  Outline a lesson in accordance with outcome teaching-learning. These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods: 1. Learning is an active process. 2. The more sense that are involved, the more and the better the learning. 3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhance learning. 4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning. 5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information. 6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life. 7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information. Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its K to 12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has been ahead of DepED and the Commisssion on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of Competency Standards-Based teaching and Assessment. CHED requires all higher education institution in the country to go outcome-based education (OBE) in its Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to competency-based and standards-based teaching and learning in the Kto12 Curriculum. 115 | P a g e REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS
  • 117.
    When you applyOBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In other words, in OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives). Then you determine which teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and also the assessment tasks (ATs) you will have to use to find out if you attained your ILOs. OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery learning of teach and the AT’s are the evaluation part. Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the art of questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instructions. These are the types of questions that teachers ask. Types of Questions that Teachers Ask 1. Factual/Convergent/Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions With one acceptable answer 2. Divergent/Open-ended/High-level/ Higher-order/Conceptual Open-ended; has more that one acceptable answer a) Evaluation b) Inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked it up, she was all smiles. What can you infer about Liz. c) Comparison d) Application e) Problem-solving 3. Affective e.g. How do you feel? These are also some of the reading techniques that teachers use: 1. Providing acceptance feedback 2. Providing corrective feedback 3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise 4. Repeating the answer 5. Explaining the answer/expanding the answer 6. Rephrasing the question 7. Asking follow-up questions 8. Redirecting questions to other pupils 9. Soliciting student questions 10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior 116 | P a g e

    V With the lightningspeed by which technology is involving, and now with 4.0, technology continues to be an ever significant part of the learning environment. This episode provides an opportunity for students to examine a Learning Resources Center or Multi-Media Center and learn about its collection, service, equipment, observe how a teacher utilizes technology for instruction, and explore resources in the virtual learning environment. Students will analyze and reflect on how technology, including artificial intelligence, supports the teaching-learning process. TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:  Identify and classify learning resource materials in the multi-media center;  Show skills in the positive use of ICT to facilitate the teaching-learning process (PPST 1.3.1);  Show skills in the evaluation, selection, development, and use of a variety learning resources, including ICT to address learning goals (PPST 4.5.1);  Analyze the level of technology integration in the classroom; and  Demonstrate motivation to utilize ICT for professional development goals based on the PPST (PPST 7.5.1) The Information and Communication Technology Competency Framework for Teachers (ICTCFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers’ development on the effective and appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should know and do clustered in six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in Education, 2. Curriculum and Assessment, 3. Pedagogy, 4. Application of Digital Skills, 5. Organization and Administration, 6. Teacher Professional Learning. Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide teachers as they develop their ICT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level 2, Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Communication on Higher Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most likely you have tackled this in your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes. It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this episode. The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect about the competencies discussed in the framework.

    1. A schoolusually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the teaching-learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved. Some of the names are Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource Center, Teaching-Learning Technology Department, Or Simply Learning Resource Center. 2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcomes was the ever- expanding interface between the traditional library and ICT both in term of hardware and software system and application. 3. School may have different set-up when it comes to a Learning Resource Center (LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a separate library, LRC, and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some only have the LRC both for teachers and students. Still some have combined their learning resource center with maker space. 4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio visual and ICT resources to support the teaching-learning process. 5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use of audiovisual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the students, teachers, and the school community. 6. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must fulfill the following function: center of resources, laboratory of learning, and agent of teaching, service agency, coordinating agency, recreational reading center, and a link to other community resources. Technology Integration The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for you to define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you in the process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher’s integration of technology in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and finally transformation. The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and enables quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the learning environment are being active, collaborate, constructive, authentic, and goal- directed. The technology integration matrix connects the levels of technology integration and the characteristics of the learning environment. Examine the matrix below. To make you understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment, explore the TIM website and learn from the many interesting videos showing technology integration. Observing technology integration in the classroom 126 | P a g e
  • 128.
    Technology Integration Matrix Levels OfTechnology Integration Into The Curriculum Entry: the teacher uses technology to deliver curriculum content to students. Adoption: the teacher directs students in the conventional use of tool-based software. If such software is available, this level is the recommended entry point. Adoption: the teacher encourages adaptation of tool-based software by allowing students to select a tool and modify its use to accomplish that task at hand. Infusion: the teacher creates a learning environment that infuses the power of technology tools throughout the day and across subject areas. Transformation: the teacher creates a rich learning environment in which students regularly engage in activities that would have been impossible to achieve without technology. Active: students are actively engaged in using technology as a tool rather than passively receiving information from the technology. Students use technology for drill and practice and computer-based training. Students begin to utilize technology tools to create products, for example using a word processor to create a report. Students have opportunities to select and modify technology tools to accomplish specific purposes, for example using colored cells on a spreadsheet to plan a garden. Throughout the school day, students are empowered to select appropriate technology tools and actively apply them to the task at hand. Given ongoing access to online resources, students actively select and pursue topics beyond the limitations of even the best school library. Collaborative: students use technology tools to collaborate with others rather than working individually at all times. Students primarily work alone when using technology. Students have opportunities to utilize collaborative tools, such as email, in conventional ways. Students have opportunities to select and modify technology tools to facilitate collaborative work. Throughout the day and across subject areas, students utilize technology tools to facilitate collaborative learning. Technology enables students to collaborate with peers and experts irrespective of time zone or physically distances. Constructive: students use technology tools to build understanding rather than simply receive information. Technology is used to deliver information to students. Students begin to utilize constructive tools such as graphic organizers to build upon prior knowledge and construct meaning. Students have opportunities to select and modify technology tools to assist them in the construction of understanding. Students utilize technology to make connections and construct understanding across disciplines and throughout the day. Students use technology to construct, share, and publish knowledge to a worldwide audience. Authentic: students use technology tools to solve real-world problems meaningful to them rather than working on artificial assignments. Students used technology to complete assigned activities that are generally unrelated to real-world problems. Without the support of technology tool Students have opportunities to apply technology tool to some content-specific activities that are based on real-world problems. Students have opportunities to select and modify technology tools to solve problems based on real-world issues. Students select appropriate technology tools to complete authentic tasks across disciplines. By means of technology tools, students participate in outside-of- school projects and problem-solving activities that have meaning for the students and the community. Goal Directed: Students use technology tools to set goals, plan activities, monitor progress, and evaluate results rather than simply completing assignments without reflection. Students receive directions, guidance, and feedback from technology, rather than using technology tools to set goals, plan activities, monitor progress or self-evaluate. From time to time, students have the opportunity to use technology to either plan, monitor, or evaluate an activity. Students have opportunities to select and modify the use of technology tools to facilitate goal-setting, planning, monitoring, and evaluating specific activities. Students use technology tools to set goals, plan activities, monitor progress, and evaluate results throughout the curriculum. Students engage in ongoing metacognitive activities at a level that would be unattainable without the support of technology tools.

Electronic resources come in different forms like websites, web quests, blogs, social network sites, on-line courses, a wide range of tools, and so many forms of apps. As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be most useful for you is the ability not only to search for information but to make decisions, as to which ones you will take internet resources. You will be able to choose the best resources that will help you attain you teaching-learning objectives. Below is a set of criteria which you can use to evaluate: 1. Accuracy- the resource material comes from a reliable source and is accurate, free from error and is up-to-date. 2. Appropriateness- the resource is grade/level-appropriate. The content matches what is needed by the teacher. 3. Clarity- the resource clearly addresses the instructional goals in mind. 4. Completeness- the content is complete. It has all the information needed to be able to use them. 127 | P a g e
  • 129.
    5. Motivation- theresource is engaging the rewarding to learners. It will encourage the active participation of the learners. 6. Organization- the resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which steps should be taken. The procedures or processes flow smoothly. (Based on the work of Fitzgerald, Mary Ann, Lovin, Vicki, and Branch, Robert Maribe (2003). A gateway to Educational Materials: An Evolution of an Online Resource for Teachers and an Exploration of User Behaviors. Journal of Technology and Teacher Education. 11 (1), 21-51). Education 4.0 Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented speed at which technology is involving has disrupted many vital processes that involve how we run production, businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The following Technology trends have huge potential to transform the ways teach and learn (UNESCO, 2018): 1. Open Educational Resource (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for teaching and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is an abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps, streaming videos, multimedia apps, and many others. They can have a significant impact on education as they are made available and easily accessible in the internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this episode. 2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact, learn about things and share information. Sites and apps such us facebook , twitter, Instagram provide a virtual venue for teacher and learners to work together interact among themselves and with other classrooms locally and globally. 3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also one who send the most number of text message per day. This indicates the high number of mobile device users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool by allowing teachers and students more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the classroom. 4. The Internet of Things. Lot is a system of computing mechanism that built-in into many everyday things, that allow sending and receiving data through the internet. A lot of things have turned “smart”. We have smart cars that can navigate on its own. Smart houses that monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our doctor. All of these development can influence the way we teach and learn. 5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when computers or machine simulate thinking and behavior of humans such as talking, learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google assistant are near samples of AI. Among others, uses of AI in 128 | P a g e
  • 130.
    Education can bein the areas of gamification and adaptive instruction for learners with special needs. 6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by a computer program that allows a person to visit and experience the environment virtually. In AR, images form computer programs interlay with the actual views of the real-word, resulting in an extended, expanded, or altered view of a real-world environment. In education, among others, VR and AR programs and apps allow more exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that add to the motivation and engagement of learners. 7. Big Data. Through the billions of interaction and transaction are done electronically, and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and sorted. The challenge is how sense of this data, through analytics and research pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning most effective. 8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites. Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as kindergarten. Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary programs introduce and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps learners develop novel ways of exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with the problem or project-based learning approaches. 9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, It is crucial to ensure that human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology.

Comments: Over-all Scores Rating: (Based on Transmutation) Assessment in an essential part of the instructional cycle. The instruction cycle consists of: 1. setting the intendent learning outcome/s, 2. Selecting a teaching methodology, strategy and activity that are aligned to the learning outcome and topic which are developmentally appropriate to the learners and 3. Assessment itself. Assessment is the part of the instructional cycle that determines whether or not the intended learning outcome has been attained and so necessarily, the assessment task must be aligned to the intended learning outcome. In a lesson on assessment, we can speak of assessment for learning, assessment of learning and assessment as learning. This episode will dwell on assessment for learning and assessment as learning. Assessment for learning is referred to as formative assessment while assessment as learning is referred to as self-assessment. 148 | P a g e SPARK YOUR INTEREST FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE FS 1 12 Assessment FOR Learning and Assessment AS Learning (Formative Assessment)

    TARGET YOUR INTENTEDLEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this episode. I must be able to:  Demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of formative assessment; and  Explain the importance of formative assessment.  In Outcome-based Teaching-Learning/Competency-based Teaching/Teaching by Objective, we ensure that the intended outcome/competency/objective is attained at the end of the lesson and so while we are still in the process of teaching, we do check learners’ understanding and progress.  If we found out that the learners failed to understand prerequisite knowledge and skills we reteach until learners’ master them. This is called FORMATIVE assessment, assessment while the learners are being formed or taught. It is assessment in the midst of instruction.  Formative assessment is also referred to as assessment for learning. Assessment for learning simply means we do assessment to ensure learning.  We do not wait for the end of the lesson to find out if learners understood the lesson or not because if it is only at the end of the lesson that we discover that the learners did not understand the lesson, we have wasted so much time and energy teaching presuming that everything was clear, only to find out that end of the lesson that the learners did not understand the lesson at all. This means that we have to reteach from the very beginning something that we could have saved ourselves from doing had we given time to find out if the lesson was understood while still teaching.  Assessment for learning encourages peer assessment.

(Brookhart, 2013)  The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.  There are two types of rubrics – analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole.  For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.  For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.  A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is rated, the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance.  Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the assessment tool used by the teacher.  With teacher’s permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.  Study the assessment tool then accomplish Observation Sheet.  Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?  What type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use – analytic or holistic? 172 | P a g e OBSERVE REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS Activity 13. 3

    TARGET YOUR INTENTEDLEARNING OUTCOME  Evaluate a sample portfolio  Distinguish among the 3 types of portfolio  A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work accompanied by clear criteria for performance with prove student effort, progress or achievement in a given area or course.  A portfolio of student’s work is a direct evidence of learning. But is not a mere collection of student’s work. The student’s reflection must accompany each output or work  A portfolio is different from a work folder, which is simply a receptacle for all work, with no purpose to the collection. A portfolio is an international collection of work guided by learning objectives.  Effective portfolio systems are characterized by clear picture of the student skills to be addressed, student’s involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio, use of criteria to define quality performance as basis for communication, and self-reflection through which students share they think and feel about their work, their learning and about themselves.  There are several types of portfolio depending on purpose. They are: 1) development or growth portfolio, 2) best work or showcase or display portfolio, and 3) assessment/evaluation portfolio. 1. Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio, if any, if there are, select one best portfolio from what you examined. 2. If none, research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts. 3.

    FIELD STUDY 1LEARNING EPISODE Knowing the Quality teacher FS 1 14 The Teacher as a PERSON and as a PROFESSIONAL What is really like to be a TEACHER? Why is being a TEACHER considered as one of the most respected professionals in the Philippines? What makes a teacher differently better than any other profession? What characterize a teacher a teacher as a person and as a professional? This Episode will provide you a chance to observe teachers in their own workplace at school in order to answer the questions asked. TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:  Describe the personal qualities and competences of effective classroom teachers; and  Enumerate the professional characteristics of practicing teachers observed as based on the professional standards and code of ethics for the profession. “My Teacher, My Hero” was a banner during the World Teacher’s Day celebration in the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real heroes? What do you think? Why? My answer is YES! Here are my reasons. Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve the country just like any other hero.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Towards Teacher Quality: Developing a Global Teacher of the 21ST Century FS1 15 SPARK Your Interest Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A global teacher of the 21st century! In 2013, a Global Status Index was determined by Varkey GEMS Foundation and revealed significant findings. There were 21 countries surveyed which represented the major continents of the world. In most countries that participated, it was found out that like the Philippines, teaching is the most sought profession. It was comparable to being a social worker, librarians, nursing and even doctors. Majority of the parents asked, answered that they encourage their children to become teachers. To them, teaching is one of the most respected and trusted profession. However, with the change in global landscape, the 21st century teachers must have the competence to address the new learning environment, the new learning contents, the processes of learning and how these are facilitated and the new types of learners. Hence, we need the type of teachers, a glocal 21st century Filipino teacher. (Global Teacher Status Index p. 123 Teaching Profession)
  • 227.
    TARGET Your IntendedLearning Outcome At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:  Describe the personal qualities and competencies of a glocal classroom teachers of the 21st century; and  Design a learner-centered classroom for the 21st century learners with learning spaces that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT. REVISIT the Learning Essentials FILIPINO GLOCAL TEACHER A survey of ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are three major responsibilities of teachers. These are (1) Actual Teaching. (2) Management of Learning and (3) Administrative Work. While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world, in our country, teaching in the public schools requires six hours of actual teaching, that includes administrative work such as management of learning per da. The two hours of the working day is allotted to administrative work such as scoring and recording learners’ outputs, making reports, filling forms, preparing for the next day’s activity and performing other administrative tasks. The previous episode on the teacher, reminded us of the qualities and competencies mentioned earlier. Teachers should be multi- literate, multi-cultural, multi-talented, innovative and creative. The future Filipino teacher like you shall act locally but think globally. “Teach local, reach global” means that the teacher brings diverse experiences in the classroom with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global society. What teachers do in the local communities impacts the larger community. As global citizens, the work begins, where the teachers are, thus a “global” teacher. Towards Quality Glocal teachers Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in the 21st century education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2) Financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, and (4) Civic and Health Literacy which require: 1. Learning and Innovative Skills 2. Information, Media and Technology Skills 3. Life and Career Skills More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can demonstrate exemplary mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions relative to the following characteristics:
  • 228.
    1. Understand one’sown cultural identity and rootedness 2. Knows and integrates global dimensions in the subject area 3. Engages learners in the learning processes 4. Uses real life local and global examples 5. Values the inputs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners 6. Models social responsibilities in local and global content 7. Encourage learners to find appropriate actions to improve local and global the conditions, and 8. Creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations. The Challenges of the Quality Glocal Teachers for the 21st Century One of the major challenges of quality teachers is to “create a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations among learners.” With it, comes the management of learning in such environment. These are required skills for a global teacher. Majority of the current classrooms provides learning spaces that can hardly prepare the 21st century learners for the development of the 21st century skills. Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator of learning. Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work on interdisciplinary projects that cover several subject areas. Learning is no longer for memorizing and recalling of information but on learning how to learn. Thus classroom designs should respond to the 21st century learning. More so, quality teachers should be changing their roles from teaching in isolation to co-teaching, team teaching and collaboration with students and peers. A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well as the management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to address the new roles of teachers. How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the sex elements of a new classroom: 1. Flexibility of furniture and space 2. Collaborative learning 3. Facilitation of movement 4. Foster creativity 5. Use of technology 6. Provision of light and bright colors 7. With the classroom structure, a quality teacher should be able to manage learner under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher should use effective classroom management strategies that will ensure productive learning. Quality teacher should manage learning in an enhanced classroom by seeing it to it that learners are:
  • 229.
    - Organized, - Orderly, -Focused, - Attentive, - On task, and - Are learning. This will take much of your skills, experience and patience. The two important factors that may affects learning management are the use of technology and the diversity of learners.
