9. At the end of this activity, the FS student must be able to achieve the following intended learning outcomes:
a) differentiate the characteristics and needs of learners from different development levels; and
b) choose effective strategies to address the diverse needs of the learners according to their developmental
levels.
LEARNING OVERVIEW:
Activity3- PPST Domain 3: Diversity of Learners provides the opportunity to observe learners of different ages and
grade levels virtually. It highlights the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future educator, it is important
to determine learners’ characteristics and needs so that you will be able the implement learning activities and
assessment that are all developmentally appropriate.
Read the following carefully before you begin with this then write your observation report on the space provided.
1.Record the data you gathered about the learners’ characteristics and needs in this matrix.
2.Shadow a learner from preschool, elementary and high school during the conduct of their class.
3.This will allow you to compare the characteristics and needs of learners at different levels. The items
under each domain are by no means exhaustive. These are sample indicators you may add other
aspects which you may have observed.
