The bulletin board near the entrance gate promoted Buwan ng Wika and Science Month through colorful displays of student work, schedules of activities, and announcements in an attractive and easy to read format. While the board caught viewers' attention with its visual appeal and clear communication of information, it could be improved by adding more interactivity to encourage greater student involvement.

11. Statement of Purpose
My Teaching Philosophy
To educate is to become a better educated. It is
circular process that improves with time; I believe the responsibility of
educators is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills
to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas. My teaching
philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many
social problems. Education provides the tools to make informed
decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically evaluate relevant issues and to
enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and working to improve my
skills as an educator are among my highest priorities.
As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in
my students and my self. Course material should be challenging,
interactive and relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and
retain more information if the material is presented in an environment
that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, I believe that using a
variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an
effective way to complement traditional course lectures remains the
foundation of the educational experience. I feel that I can encourage
students to seek new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an

12. enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known about
subjects. When appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to
include experience in the field. What better way to make the necessary
connections among biological concepts than by observing how
organisms interact with their environment?
In my interaction with students, I will strive always to be
respectful, especially when dealing with differing opinions that may
arise as product of scientific thinking. I want my student to learn to think
critically, not merely to accept my ideas and opinions; my drive to
pursue higher education was due in part to several teachers who
inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams.

An Observation Guide for a LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER
Learning resource center was a facility within a school which
was operated by a specialist and containing several information
sources. It must be developed and benefitted to educate all people and
provide quality education. It must have current resources for it is an
avenue for learning.
As I visit and observe the different learning resource center, the
learning resources that were available or present were computers,
textbooks, magazines, newspapers, television, articles, DVD player,
tapes and etc… All materials were properly arranged according to their
types and functions. It seems that all materials have a proper
maintenance because they were free any dust.
Every learning resource center has its own guidelines or
procedures and also rules. Those guidelines or procedure and rules do
not involve great exertion or discomfort on the part of the users because
they were just easy to adhere or practice.

Impression:
Learning resources are the materials used by teachers to
enhance the skills of students, help to discover the different aptitudes
and it provides learning experiences to the students. All learning
resources must be contemporary and the person in-charge must know

16. how to efficiently utilize it because learning resources support
curriculum.
Name and Signature of Observer: JAY AR B. ASPERO
Analysis
1. 1.
Were the learning resource/materials arranged properly
according to their functions and characteristics?
All learning resources or materials were arranged properly according
their functions and characteristics. The books inside the library were
properly arranged as to their types and functions. The proper
arrangement of learning resources help the teachers and students to
locate it and it brings convenience to both teachers and students.
1. 2.
Do the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy access to
the materials by the teachers? Why? Why not?
The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials in
such a way that the guidelines and procedures do not involve great
exertion or discomfort on the part of the teachers or any users of it.
1. 3.
What are the strengths of this learning resource center?
Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted to educate all
people and provide quality education. It will become strong when the
person in-charge knows how to efficiently utilize it and the resources

17. must be sufficient and must be contemporary that will suit to the latest
trends in the society.
1. 4.
What are its weaknesses?
A learning resource center was only good as the resources they have
and the person running it so if a learning resource center has
insufficient or outdated resources it will be weak. If they have current
resources but no one knows how to efficiently utilize them so it will be
also weak.
1. 5.
What suggestions can you make?
I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned and
properly managed so that it can function and give significant
contribution to developing learning society and establishing educated
society. Learning resource center must be designed according to the
interest of students so that their attention will be caught and it must be
an information provider to reinforce student’s learning.
Reflection
1. 1.
Which of the materials in the learning resources caught
your interest the most? Why?
It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly
arranged according to their types and functions. It seems that there was
a proper maintenance because most of the books were free from dust.

18. 1. 2.
Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to
use/operate?
The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to
multimedia presentation were the gadgets or materials that give me a
strong belief in my own ability to use or operate it.
1. 3.
Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?
I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It
is important for me to be familiar and understand clearly its
appropriateness and effectiveness in delivering a topic.

An Observation Guide for Board Displays
Name of School Observed:
Date of Visit:
Sagay National High School
August 16, 2012
As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found
out that every classroom has its own board display. Some classrooms
have a bulletin board for birthdays of students, classroom cleaners,
classroom officers, classroom activities and announcement and the most
common was the board display that contains the topics to be discussed
in a certain grading period.
I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it was
more than that if I will examine the whole campus. Board displays were
located in front of the canteen, near the faculty room and also near the
entrance gate. Most of it was announcements, activities or events in
school and etc… The announcements were written in a formal way that
everyone can quickly and clearly understand , the information were

20. arranged past to latest and the materials used have a high quality that
can last for a longer time. Board display near the entrance of the gate
was covered by a class, so as to give protection to the content and
materials used.
Messages were clear enough as I read it and it can be easily
understood because there were no misspelled words or any
inconsistencies in grammar.
Topic of the board displays: Buwan ng Wika and Science Month

1. Analysis
2. 1.
Did the board display design reflect the likes or interest of
its target audience? Why? or Why not?
Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the
title and the theme seem to be a student made. Since it is made by
certain students, so I can say that everything being posted are being
reflected on the likes or interest of its target audience because the main
target audience are also the students but it is not the totality because
every student has its own style. It simply means that one student is
different from another student in terms of their likes or interest.

25. 1. 2.
Was the language used clear and simple for the target
audience to understand? Why? Or Why not?
Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be
read by the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be
clearly seen. The words used were appropriate to the level of the
students where in the students who will read it can understand its
thought.
1. 3.
What do you think was the purpose of the board display?
Was it effective? Why? Or Why not?
In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey
information to the students such as information about the content of the
subjects, proper hygiene, values information and latest trends in the
society. It also serves as motivation tool for the students to do their best
and as I look in it, it really works for it s purpose. By it designs it holds
attention, the contents were appropriate that provide learning
information, and the boards were not merely filled with written words
but also pictures that facilitates easy understanding.
1. 4.
What suggestions can you make?
I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought
of the sentence. The content must have something new that gives
opportunity to the student to participate or interact and it is important
also to update the content. It would be also nice to add more contents

26. which will invite the participation of the students aside from information
that it conveys.

1. Reflection

28. 2. 1.
Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be
able to come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why
each skill is needed.
Creative- the teacher can create ideas in a limitless way
Informative- the board display must have varied yet appropriate
information
Idealistic- the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board
display would look like and
how it will work for the learning of
the target audience
Artistic- the teacher must have a sense of art in order to make an
attractive board display
Resourceful- resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the
enhancement of the board
1. 2.
Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past
experiences in making board displays. How do you practice
these skills?
I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative,
informative and artistic. It was high school days when I started making a
board display. The content was the whole topic that covers our third
grading period. I learn how to make boarders and design a letter
specifically the Old Text English Style because that was my favorite font

29. text. It was my first time to make a board display, thus I still need to
improve and practice those skills for future.
I practice those skills every time I do artworks such as making portfolios
and scrapbooks.
1. 3.
Which skills do you need to develop? Reflect on how you
can improve on or acquire these skills?
I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board
display I must know how to combine colors, make designs appropriate to
the theme and purposed of the board display, and to make it attractive.
To have an artistic skills, I must practice it while still a student, thus I
must apply it every time I’m doing an artworks such as portfolios and
scrapbooks. There is also a need for me to accept criticism from others
towards my work in order for me to develop or improve my work.
I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and
magazines, searching through internet, and most of all to be updated
about the events or happenings in this world.

As I observe the class, the topic was about idiomatic expression
using participle. Through the use of visual aids, the teacher delivers her
lesson effectively. The topics were written in a manila paper and there
was legibility in the content because it can be quickly and clearly
understood by students sitting at the back. There was experiential

31. learning that happens inside the classroom and one of the reasons was
that, students interact on the learning materials that the teacher
provides. The teacher let her students read every detail in the visual
aids, actually what was written on the visual aid were questions for the
students to be answered.
Many of them were raising their hands to answer questions and
it simply indicates the student’s attentiveness, eagerness and
understanding. As I closely observed the student’s simple gestures, it
was inevitable for me to conclude that they were interested on the
lesson. The focus of their sight was merely on the teacher and the
learning resources, and some of them were frowning maybe it’s because
they were very doubtful or dissented about the answer of their
classmate. Those simple gestures of students were the indication of
attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.

1. Analysis
2. 1.
What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the
materials/learning resources that she/ he used?
In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be
attentive and participative in their lesson, and also let her students
utilize their analytical skills. The instructional materials used were the
perfect fit because the purpose was accomplished. It really catches the
attention of the students and it aids the teacher’ intention. The
instructional materials serves as a clear representation that was capable
of giving clear information, through this, ht students were actively
engaged in the discussion and the teacher was trying to use her
creativeness and resourcefulness to facilitate the learning.

34. 1. 2.
What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How
can this be managed?
As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher
experienced. The class was well managed and the teacher did not find it
hard to convince her students to participate in the discussion and
activity. There was an interaction between the students and the teacher,
and the teacher makes sure that her students stay on task as observed.
1. 3.
Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used
effectively? Why? Why not?
Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering
the questions written in the visual aid and some of them were able to
answer what was asked. The teacher gives appreciation to those students
who answer the questions correctly and to those who were not able to
give their correct answer; the teacher gives feedback to improve
learning. Through the score of students on their quiz that shows a
positive result, I can conclude that learning material was used
effectively.
Reflection
1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do
similarly and what would you do differently if you will teach the
same lesson to the same group of students? Why?

35. If I will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will
also provide activities in order for students to have an opportunity to
practice and apply their learning after learning a particular knowledge,
skills and attitudes. I will also use the same teaching approach which is
the inquiry approach.
If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept
of computer literacy for students has been redefined (creating web
pages, digitizing multimedia and the use of social networking sites) thus
I have to be aware of this trends, as my own teaching effectiveness will
depend on my understanding of these recent technological trends. With
this reason, I will create a game through the use of projector in a way
that has relation to the tropic. I will also present a power point
presentation that contains my topic for that day. Through this, the
students will be attentive and participative in the lesson and it brings
convenience to my part. If the resources are not available, I will use the
chalkboard and I will provide them an interactive activity by dividing
them into groups to be followed by a short discussion, this is to facilitate
the visual, auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners. After I implement
the instruction, I will evaluate students by providing an assessment
method that is suited to the needs and interest of the students in order
for me to measure the retention of students if they have achieved
mastery, and to know if I’m going to proceed or revise the instruction.

Name of the School Observed: Sagay National High School

37. Date of Visit: August 16, 2012
Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my
chosen topic which was the parts and functions of microscope. As I parts
and functions of microscope as my topic I also choose several learning
resources such as chalkboard, books, power point presentation, mock
ups, realia, photocopies, pictures and visual aids. I choose those several
learning resources because for my topic because I believe that it can
help me achieve my lesson objectives and to maximize learning inside
the classroom. Since my topic is about parts and functions of
microscope, so I can say that available materials are appropriate for my
target year level which is the second year.
Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make
flash cards, cut out letters, and as much as possible learning resources

38. Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials
before making your own materials your own materials? Explain
each
1. 1.
Doing survey of available materials will give me a new
idea of what to make and how to make it. There may be unique
learning materials that could be beneficial to the lessons that I will
be teaching, and by looking at the other materials can have
additional information on what to do. Through survey I can gain
competence in preparing instructional materials that are
appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives and
learning styles of my students.
2. 2.
Doing survey can help me realize what other learning
materials that I need to make or avail in order to enhance learning
in my class. Doing surveys provide several options as well as bases
for me to choose so that I can produce an appropriate and effective
materials that should be based on students characteristics or
learning styles and to my lesson objectives. It is also necessary that
the materials must be applicable to the subject matter.
3. 3.
Doing survey may also help me evaluate the materials I
will be making is beneficial or relevant to my lesson. The
information that I have gathered during the survey will serve as my
bases or guide on how I am going to evaluate my materials. It is
important for me to evaluate the materials that I will be making so
that I can produce an improved and developed materials based

39. from the evaluation I have made, with this reason I can gain
competence in making instructional materials that are appropriate
to the learning content, learning objectives, and learning styles of
my students.
Reflection
1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?
I like making power point presentations because it’s easy for me to put
different graphic designs, effects and transitions. I can also insert
pictures, video clips and even sounds. My purpose of selecting power
point presentation among other instructional materials is to make a
clear representation and while presenting a topic, it is necessary for me
to monitor and facilitate to make sure that students stay on task. I
believe that making power point presentations aids in enhancing
creativity.
2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the
materials? How did you overcome them?
I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the
power point program has a guide on how to use it. Making a
presentation using power point program is just an easy task for me. The
only thing which I consider a problem for me is on how I’m going to
deliver the content in my presentation.

40. 3. What tips can you give teachers regarding presentation of
teaching?
The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her
students. She/he must see to it that his/her materials will fit to the
learning styles of the students and must be applicable for his/her subject
matter for the materials to be effective. The chosen materials must be
appropriate and can contribute to the achievement of learning
objectives. In today’s generation, it is important for a teacher to meet
the changing needs and interest of students, thus several factors must
consider such as practicality, availability, cost effectiveness and
appropriateness that is based on student’s characteristics or learning
styles and lesson objectives. The teacher may also do surveys to the
available materials or can search through the internet.

41. My Target
At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in preparing
instructional materials (hand –out) that are appropriate to the learning
content.
Subject Matter: Types of Chemical Reactions
Grade/Year Level: 3rd year
Outline:
Combination reactions- in this type of reaction two or more
substances maybe element
or compound react to form a single
product.
The combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide is an
example of a synthesis reaction:
8 Fe + S8 → 8 FeS
Decomposition reactions- this type of reaction occurs when a
compound breaks up into its component parts. It can be two or more
substances out of a compound
The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas is an example of
a decomposition reaction:
2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2

42. Replacement reactions- this type of reaction occurs when an
element is set free from its compound producing a new element and new
compound.
An example of a substitution reaction occurs when zinc combines with
hydrochloric acid. The zinc replaces the hydrogen:
Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
Double replacement reactions- a type of reaction in which two
compounds combined to form two new compounds by exchanging their
radicals.
An example of a double displacement reaction occurs between sodium
chloride and silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

43. Analysis
1. 1.
After working on your handout, answer the following
questions:
What are the good features of a handout?
A good handout must be concise and can be understood by the readers.
There must be subtitles that make it easier to read and the key words
must be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. To shorten it, the use
of bullet point format may contribute as well as the use of diagrams,
flowcharts and etc… Make sure that all the important pints of the
presentation are on the hand out and do not include too much
information, otherwise it can become cluttered. The content must be
easily recognized and it must be sequence properly to avoid confusion.
The content must have legibility.
1. 2.
Which of these features are present in the hand out I
made?
Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise
and comprehensive. The key concepts were emphasized because they are
in bold type. I also use bullets, concept map. I contained all the
important points of the presentation and I sequenced the details properly
to avoid misconceptions.

44. The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of
chemical reactions.
1. 3.
Which features are not present in the handout I made?
Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My
penmanship was not good enough to make my handout very attractive to
the eyes of the readers, yet there is a chance to enhance its legibility by
using one of the applications of a computer specifically the Microsoft
word office.
I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not
necessary to use subtitles for that subject matter.
Reflection
1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter been making the
handouts? How did you overcome them?
To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable
source or references and assistance from a computer. The only thing
that took time and needed brain storming is the conceptualization of the
flow of the handout and the concept map that I included. So first I did
was to make an outline of the content of my handout then I read several
references and searching through the internet just to form my concept
map.

45. I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions.
So what I did was to read and understand the details in every chemical
reaction so that I can give correct examples.
2. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of
handouts?
The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making
the handout. Then he/she must conceptualize the flow and the content of
the handout by making an outline. The teacher must also read several
references so that the handout will be an informative tool for the
students learning.
In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in
order for the students to read it easily and the keywords must be in bold
type in order to have an emphasis. Bullet point format and concept map
must be use to summarize the content. The teacher must put all the
important points in the handout and he/she must not include too much
information to avoid cluttering. The teacher must know how to sequence
the content in order to avoid confusions

My Target
At the end of this activity, I will gain competence in developing
and utilizing materials (slide presentations) which involve students in
meaningful learning.
Analysis
1. 1.
What are the good features of a slide presentation?
A good slide should include transitions or effects to put
emphasis on some points of the lesson, but not too many. It must have
also one design or theme for whole slides to avoid confusion or any
misconception. The slides must not too long, nor too short to avoid
cluttering in the slides. A pictures speaks thousands words, hence photos
must be included in the slides to let students know what I am talking
about. The contents of the slides are important points of the lesson and

47. must not include the whole words that I have to say for the whole
discussion.
1. 2.
Which of these features are present in the slide
presentation you made?
The features that are present in my slide presentation that I
have made are the transitions, effects, only one theme or design for the
whole slide and also pictures that help students visualize their thoughts
or ideas.
My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I
give emphasis on the contents because they are the important points of
my lesson.
1. 3.
Which features are not present in the slide presentation
you made?
All those good features of a slide presentation that I have
cited are present in my slide presentation. I did not mention the sound
effects and music, for me it is not essential to use all the time because it
brings distraction to my discussion. There are times that music and
sound effects are highly needed especially in presenting a video
presentation
Reflection

48. 1. 1.
What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the
slide presentation? How did you overcome them?
Making power point presentation is very interesting to
me because I can do most that I wanted to do to make my slides a clear
representation and as a tool of information sources. So far, there were
no difficulties that I have encountered because the program has guides
on how to use its features. If there is a certain feature which I don’t
know how to use, then I just simply click help or go to a website
specifically the Google to find the answer if there is an internet access.

Brief Description
Of The Material In
The Website
Materials used were appropriate and effective i
learning outcome. The materials were also attractive and w
labeling the different kinds of skeleton.
Evaluation of the website
Strengths
It allows the students to interact with real life
situation without danger, expense or difficulty often
associated with real situations. The website has an
easy access tool for learning.
It provides the needs and interest of students.
Weaknesses
It will be only weak if th
internet access and if the co
website cannot provide the
interest of the students.
Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students,
I must ensure first that those topic and activities are consistent in my
learning objectives. I must also give proper instruction to the students
before they search such websites by explaining to them the learning
goals to be achieved before searching any websites so that the students
will stay focused during the activity. When students get confused, I must
provide guidance and directions, guide questions and activities or
scenarios. It is also important to have a follow up discussions to make
some generalizations for that topic.

51. Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective.
Upon surfing on the internet, I saw many websites that have programs to
make learning fun and effective. Some of the websites have games and
other has tutorial programs but aside from those benefits, internet
access may also be dangerous to the learners. From the websites I
visited, some of the learning is incorporated with violence games and
pornographic photos and videos which are not good influence to the
students. Using internet as an information tool is good and effective but
proper supervision of the teacher is highly needed and before giving the
topic or any activity to be searched, I must check first the websites and
choose those that are safe for the students.
Over All Reflection
As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in
my mind that learners are rich in learning capabilities. The process of
learning are highly unique and individual, this means that in a
classroom there are individual differences that I must consider. I need to
assist my future students to define and to make explicit to themselves the
approaches they ordinarily use so that they can become more effective in
problem solving and learning. I learned that one of the riches resources
for learning is the learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation
of experiences, ideas, feelings and attitude which comprise a rich vein of
material for problem solving and learning. I consider learners as the
richest resources for learning because they have their own aptitude

52. which are their innate talent or gift , interest which express deep feelings
for objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and enjoyable, they
also have their own ability which pictates the prospect of success in any
purposeful activity, attitude which is the learners perspective and
disposition and last their family or cultural background which is their
socio-economic background.
I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal
meaning and relevance of ideas. As a future teacher, I will only facilitate
my learners and they are the one who will give the meaning of a
concept. Just like for example, my topic is all about the leaf of a plant. I
will let them have field trip outside the classroom to observe the leaf of a
plant. I will guide them and I will demonstrate first and give some
information about the leaf and its parts after that, they will give their
own meaning or understanding about the leaf and its parts. Learning is
gradual it’s because it is by stages or levels so as a future teacher
someday I must extend my patience.
To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my
work and to my students, I must have also humor in a way that has
connection to the topic, also values and attitude, fairness, sincerity and
honesty, and professionalism.
