2. MY FIELD STUDY EXPERIENCE
Field study is a learning materials activity that provides
students with a real-world learning environment in which to learn
from observations made in the field. Much of the learning makes
use of observations, reflection on observations,
experimentations with phenomena and the use of firsthand data
and daily experiences (Bloom, 1984).
September 19, 2022, is our first day of deployment in a different
school; Vincentian Catholic Academy is the school to which I’ve
been deployed. According to Ma'am Leah Veloso, the deployment
was a success, as was the heartfelt welcome of the staff and
teachers, as well as the V.C.A.'s director and Principal. I have
experienced everything that I will use in my future as a
professional teacher.

7. BRIEF HISTORY OF VINCENTIAN
CATHOLIC ACADEMY
The Vincentian Catholic Academy (VCA) was
founded in 1978 as a parochial educational institution. It
was conceived out of desire to provide for an authentic
catholic education for the youth through the initiative of
Rev. Fr. Delfin Diaz, then the Priest of the town of
Zaragoza with the help of Mr. Dominador Nicolas, desired
to make the school firm foundation of Catholic education
in the town of Zaragoza. Hence, the school motto was
Pietatem et Sapienta (Piety and Wisdom).
The Academy derives its title from St. Vincent Ferrer,
patron saint of the town of Zaragoza, Nueva Ecija.
Motivated by the example of St. Vincent Ferrer, patron of
builders because of his fame for “building up and
strengthening the church through his preaching and
teachings. The academy is above all characterized by it’s
being catholic which is manifested in its title.
Through the Initial years, Fr. Diaz, with the help of
the Lay faithful of Zaragoza, was able to procure School
equipment and build school facilities by the academy in its
starting years.

9. FIELD STUDY 1 REFLECTION
Field Study 1 focuses on the learners and the environment in which they
develop their knowledge and expertise in addition to nurturing what they have
learned in school into the desired individual. This subject's lessons and discussions
provide an excellent chance to learn about the learners, their instructional strategies,
and the entire educational process. With this observation, we can see what needs to
be improved and what needs to be improved in regards to delivering lessons to
learners in the twenty-first century. The shift in perspective corresponds to the
potential shift in how we perceive these individuals. It has been emphasized that we
are now in the 21st century, which means that the curriculum is centered on students
rather than teachers.
A further concern of the study is to look at the students' attitude toward the
class after the pandemic. Several topics were centered on describing what a
necessary and conducive learning environment is for learners. an engaging,
comfortable environment free of prejudice and disruptions that may lead to poor
learning. A place that is enjoyable, respectful, and worthwhile to spend money on
Field Study 1 provided me with my first off-campus field observation. The
main purpose of the observation is to gain experience as a teacher in communicating
with students as well as to undergo an assessment of the physiological aspects of the
institution, such as the various facilities, classrooms, and so on. It's the first time I've
handled or observed learners from a different field as a teacher rather than a student.
I learned a lot from the students about how they are completing assignments and
using the lesson as a learning opportunity. My cooperating teacher shared many
insights and tips for making a classroom effective and conducive to the various needs
of diverse learners. I was able to conduct field interviews with teachers, learners,
and parents about how they view learners and their methods and styles for creating
an engaging and active learning environment.
The observation was a success, with many new insights and experiences
gained. With the experience, I came away with so many great realizations and
reflections.
Before beginning anything, the first thing that must be done is to comprehend
and recognize the uniqueness of all the students in the classroom.

10. FIELD STUDY 2 REFLECTION
Field Study 2 deals with the process of the teaching and learning process,
participation and Teaching assistantship. This will bring into real scenario of
teaching, by giving some rules that they need to follow and giving authority to held
the class. This experience provides experiential support for our previously
completed Field Study 1 and foundation professional education courses. All the
discussion and topics are all relevant to the main concept of putting up all the plans
into reality and giving due consideration to the learners and to the different principles
under the umbrella of teaching and learning.
Part of the requirement for FS 2 is to undergo and observation. This is in line
with main goal of the study to let teacher education students have a first- hand
contact or experiences with what is going on inside the room when the teacher
implements his/her teaching plan.
My cooperative teacher has her own technique for teaching her lesson
properly, using PowerPoint presentations, and this allows us to help when there is
an activity after the discussion. I realized through my assistance that my cooperative
teacher feels relief because of the students that are always asking questions after the
discussion.
I have experience checking the test papers of the learners to assess what they
learned from the lesson, and I’m one of the judges of the students for their
performance task, so I will say that every student really engaged in the activities that
the teacher assigned.
As a future teacher, I must research and learn about field studies, which will
equip us with information and skills in order to be a well-equipped and empowered
teacher. For my future students and myself as a teacher, I desire to move from
weakness to strength, from negative to positive, from consciousness to self-
confidence, and from non-essential to essential, so I'll be able to say I'm truly
globally competent and professional.

11. TEACHING BELIEFS
In the Future, I plan to base my teaching practices heavily on the
student – centered ideologies found in Progressivism and social
reconstructionism. As a science major, I think that education should
address social issues, that theories should be put to the test through
experimentation, and that learning occurs when questions are answered.
This combination will enable me to teach students the importance of
improving society through their understanding of science, technology,
and social issues.
I prefer the Progressivist school of thought over the other two. I am
moving with the times in the twenty-first century. I firmly believe that
technology can help students reach their full potential. Students are
encouraged to interpret on their learning, pursue their own interests, and
collaborate with peers and teachers in the classroom I picture. Enhancing
their capacity for research, problem-solving and communication.
According to my social reformist viewpoint, science can help us
understand the social problems facing a country. Everything and
everywhere is impacted by science; we simply need to be aware of it. By
including it in my lessons, I’ll have students who are fully accessible
about social issues and use science as a tool to shift society’s viewpoint.
Finally, my main teaching philosophy is based on the adage “Children
learn through play” which I find to be true. “Science and technology
created games; these games connect worlds; when students play games,
they connect to the and that begins their first- hand education about the
world”.
