Educational tour Adventure

Educational tour is for me an opportunity that opens me to widen my experience, horizon , and
understanding about curricular and institutional standards of other schools that they are implementing
in their respective academic system . The Educational tour brings me a holistic understanding and
realization , how everything is to be followed and understood . Even for just a lenient time trip for me ,I
observe beyond what I expected to see and perceive regarding to the tour conducted. I have learnt a lot
of valuable things from ethical, facility, administration, behavior , program design , system , technology
and other measures and standards that they kept on using . This learning experience of mine is greatly
consider as a portal that opens my eyes to new way of teaching , teaching aspirations and other
mechanism that puts learners into advance learning ways , such as their frequent engagement to
technology and highly scientific tools for their learning in order for it to be more advance ,
comprehensive and standardized towards to their prior learning to this contemporary learning system .

It welcomes me to various possibilities that good classroom set up affect the learning psychology
and acquisition of the learners . I realized that each learning institution has technology that they rely on
upon the learning of their students/pupils . I have observed that technology amalgamated to learning
enormously affect them as an academic learner and a lifelong learner as well . It really inspires me and
make me and make me pursue that teaching-learning outcome is merely depending to some
interdependent factors which are the learning tools , materials , interest teaching ways and motivation
etc. such factors aforementioned grow themselves as a learners and as an individual . In different
schools I am actually amazed about their marvelous equipment that directs learning of their
stakeholders . It make me feel at ease to rely instructions and conduct lesson presentations with such
material as a part of my medium of instruction . From that I can say they are truly that advance . Many
things are what I have learned just like our acquaintance to special children whom giving me the
idealism that even themselves have the right to go to school and have proper educations n the
curriculum . Now I can barely conclude that education is for all , that no one should be rejected and
omitted of attaining educational pursuit . Not even in the midst of their disabilities whether physical,
mental, emotional, social etc. I really admire some schools that have been systematized and
technologized their system that even to the security purpose is being applied to their respective
campuses.

Educational tour gives me a lot of experiences as a teacher to be and as an individual that keeps on
learning , that through a mere observation many thing comes to realization . I have learned as well that
schooling in a city is so hard . It is quite better for me to live and school here in Mati. Teaching according
to one of the teacher in Ateneo Elementary should not be taken as for money /living . You should take it
with full heart and dedication. It really touches my soul towards teaching . I learned new ways on
teaching how instructions are to be conducted . . I feel honored and grateful that such schools
welcome and overwhelm us despite of their being badly busy . I have acquainted various batch mates
and other davaowenyos . It is actually a nice valuable trip that dazzle me to enjoy living in hotel for 2
nights .

From trip It satisfies my learning , experience and acquaintance to various places and people as well as
living Davao proper Many funny and controversial moments were occurring during the educational tour
. In spite of the very systematized mechanism that has been established still there re little trouble occur
I have experienced . Truly educational tour is a great experience for me to hone my knowledge about
the system of other schools , the standards , medium of instructions , facilities , standard on building
structures , curricular goals , mission vision and core value s. My skills as well on how to manipulate
things and other things that should be observed in teaching .
