1. REFLECTION ON THE FIELD STUDY AREA OBSERVED
When I first entered Zamboanga city high-school I have discovered a wide range of
important teaching strategies. I know a lot more today than I did about everything from managing
a classroom to creating a supportive learning environment. I aim to use some of the lessons I've
gained from this experience to establish a successful classroom and environment when I eventually
achieve my dream of becoming a teacher. I observed a wide range of student behaviors as well as
student diversity. As I observed, I learned a lot not only about teaching strategies, but also about
how to stay calm in any situation as a teacher. In addition, I've learned to reflect more deeply on
what's going on around me rather than just looking at what's on the surface.
Throughout my observation there were many interactions between the student and teacher,
either being very positive, or negative. I believe that I will face many challenges as I enter into the
profession of teaching, but who wouldn’t with a job that requires working with others. I have
learned many different key teaching components throughout my observation. Whether it be how
to run a classroom, or setting up a positive classroom environment I now know a lot more than I
did. Someday when I do reach my goal of becoming a teacher I hope to apply some of the things
I have learned from this experience to create a successful classroom and environment.
After my observation was done I changed my view of this and knew that I would make a
great teacher. I was able to learn many different things that will be helpful to me when I get hired
as an educator someday. Although I will have to face many challenges in the classroom, I possess
many of the strengths it takes to be a good teacher. There were many times during the week that
gave me a great idea of how the everyday life of a teacher would go. Also I got a great feel for
how the classroom environment will be for most secondary educators. Over all it was a great
experience for me and I learned a lot about myself, and the classroom.
Over all it was a great experience for me and I learned a lot about myself, and the
classroom. And I was being thankful for my Critic teacher who taught me everything and giving
some advice. I really enjoyed this experience.
