This document contains observation sheets from a field study student monitoring two teachers and how they apply the principles of learning in their classrooms. It notes that both teachers actively engaged students in hands-on activities and encouraged collaboration. While most principles were followed, the third principle of learning being a consequence of experience was not observed since it was the student's first visit. The student concluded that adhering to the principles leads to effective teaching and learning.

1. Learning is an experience which
occurs inside the learner is activated
by the learner
Teacher lets the students do the learning
activity. e.g. - Students construct sentences
using appropriate Pronouns.

personal meaning and relevance of
ideas.
Teacher lets the students explore and
identify the different functions of pronouns
in a sentence.

I haven’t noticed that the teacher touched
this principle for it’s my first time to
observe her class.
4. Learning is a cooperative and
collaborative process.

their classmate beside them before writing
sentences in the board.
5. Learning is an evolutionary process. Teacher lets the students appreciate literary
works of Chinese.

effective.
8. The process of learning is
emotional as well as intellectual.
Teacher makes sure that her students are
emotionally ready for the lesson and
intellectually enhanced at the end of the
lesson.
9. The process of problem solving and
learning is highly unique and
individual.
Teacher makes sure that she develops one’s
learning style through varying her approach
in order to enhance their problem solving
technique.

My Analysis
With the observance of the teachers of the 9 principles of learning, the teaching-
learning process really went well. Teaching is very effective since the students were
engage in various activities that catered their diversified needs in learning. It may take
time but in the end, teaching will be worth it for there is a big assurance that learning of
the students will be multiplied. These principles have a big impact to the students in such
way that the students will actively be involved for the whole period. Thus, they can learn
more.
Among the 9 principles of learning, I think the first principle was applied most
since almost the whole class; the teachers let the thinking and exploring be done by the
students. Most often, the teachers ask their students questions in order to clearly be
understood by the students.
The principle of learning that was not applied was the third principle since it’s my
very first time to observe the teachers in those classes.
I agree with all the principles of learning because teaching should be student-
centered. Also, it embraces all the learning needs of students. In fact, it is a need for a
teacher to observe all the principles in every teaching process so that teaching and
learning could occur in a most effective manner.

My Reflections
Yes, all my Resource Teachers adhere to the principles of learning. Both of them
employed activities which are relevant to the needs of the students. They both abide with
the principles basing on the students’ performances shown. All of them are active during
the discussion. They adhere since it is a mandate for teachers to support that learning
should be learner-centered.
Lessons I have learned from my observations on the classroom application of the
principles of learning are as follows;
 I learned that teaching is not effective if students are not totally engaged.
 I learned that it is time consuming.
 I learned that students should really be given diversified activities in order to cater
all their needs.
 I learned that learning takes place a long period of time.
