This document provides instructions and materials for a student to complete Episode 1 of their field study, which involves observing three classes to identify how teachers apply principles of learning in their teaching. The student is given guidance on the tasks required, including observing classes, analyzing their observations, reflecting on their experiences, and compiling a portfolio to document their work. They will be evaluated based on criteria such as the quality of their analysis, reflection, documentation, and timely submission.

3. Episode 1: Principles of Learning
My Map
I will observe at least 3 different classes. Pay close attention to what the Resource
Teacher does to teach and what the learners do to learn.
To hit my Target, I will work my way through these steps:
Step 1 : I will review the principles of learning on pp. 21 - 25 of
Principles of Teaching 1, 2007 by Corpuz, B. and G.
Salandalan
Step2 : I will observe 3 different classes
Step 3 : I will identify evidence of applications of the principles of
learning. (You are given a sample in # 1 principle.) I can
cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.
Step 4: Guided by a question/questions, I will reflect on my
experience, write down my reflection.
