Principles of Learning

1. Learning is an experience which

occurs inside the learner and is
activated by the learner.

2. Learning is the discovery of the

personal meaning and relevance
of ideas.

3. Learning is a consequence of
experience.

4. Learning is a cooperative and

collaborative process.

Teacher Behavior of the

Teacher/Learning
Behavior of the Learner as a Proof
of the
Application of the Principles of
Learning
1. Teacher made sure that students learn
by their own experienced. e.g. Pupils
write the correct answer on the board
rather than writing by the teachers.
2. Relevant and need-based curriculum
was integrated in the discussion through
the way that arouses the interest and
attention
of
the
students.
The
essentiality of the topic was being
perceived by the students by explaining
the values being incorporated in the
lesson. e.g. - The students realized that
the values being integrated in the lesson
is our Lord God gave us water because
He cares and loves us.
3. Assimilating different activities made
the discussion experiential. The teacher
integrated movie clips for the students
to have their own knowledge and
assessment in the processes of water
cycle. e.g. The students sensualize the
processes by watching the video clips
provided by the teacher.
4. The teacher provides group activities
for the students are being able to learn
by having the chance to share their own
ideas and work together with groups.
e.g. The students have their chance to
share their knowledge and insights about
their prior knowledge and skills in
different task given to them.

5. Learning is an evolutionary
process.

6. Learning is sometimes a painful

process.

7. One of the richest resources for

the learning is the learner himself.

8. The process of learning is

emotional as well as intellectual.

9. The process of problem solving

and learning is highly unique and
individual.

5. Learning, especially if this means a

change in behavior, does not happen in
a click. Teachers delivered the lesson in
different ways and she gave patience
and diligence in dealing with the levels
of learners abilities and skills.
6. For the students to be able to learn,
the teacher devotedly gave her time to
prepare the materials needed even the
preparation was the day before the
delivery of lesson. The teacher gave
activities which made the students felt
that to be able to learn, hard works
should be experienced first.
7. The teacher let the discussion
centered with the learners ideas and
experiences rather than her thought
only. The students were given chances to
share their learning through the proper
used of art of questioning. e.g. the
teachers asked the students about their
insight about the topic and somehow
generalized the lesson by answering the
provided questions.
8. Emotional stability of the learners was
first observed by the teachers. To
motivate the interest of the students,
she started it with singing a song which
also served as their simple review.
9. Multiple intelligences were being
considered by the teacher. Vicarious
activities and materials are being
provided and utilized to cope with
learning styles of different individual.
e.g. The teacher provided group
activities such as completing the puzzle,
drawing the cycle and sequencing the
processes of the cycle. She also used
both traditional and modern instructional
materials needed to discuss the lesson.

MY ANALYSIS
1. What is the impact of the Resource Teachers observance of these principles
on the teaching learning process and on the learners?
The teacher adhere the principles of learning and it makes the
presentation of lesson be purposeful in thoughts as well as in action. The
knowledge and skills needed by the students to attain was almost been
learned by how she adopted the principles. The teaching itself was so smooth
and the learners found very minimal hardship in acquiring learning. An active
classroom environment was being created and the learners realize its
importance in their lives.
2. Which learning principle was applied most?
As I observed, the learning principle applied the most is the process of
problem solving and learning is highly unique and individual. As I stated in my
previous explanation, vicarious activities were being utilized by her to have
an effective teaching and learning process.
3. Which learning principle was applied least or not all applied?
The process of learning is emotional as well as intellectual was I think
to be the least applied because as part of this principle, the teachers wont
able to determine other factors that could affect their learning such as if they
had eaten their breakfast or not? Or are they happy or sad?
4. Do you agree with these principles of learning? Or have you discovered that
they are not always correct?
Yes, I agree on those principles of learning because as Ive observed
different teachers at different grade levels of students, applications of the
principles were always been functional. And as I foresee my future teaching,
principles of learning will also be adapt.
5. Lessons I have learned from my observations on the classroom application of
the principles of learning.
For the students be able to learn, teacher must first considered their
individual differences and multiple intelligences. Of course, they should have
their direct-purposeful experiences and reflect on their physiological,
psychological and emotional needs. Their interest should always also be
considered and let us them upgrade their prior knowledge by learning in
himself.

MY REFLECTIONS
My reflections on my observation of my Resource Teachers observance of
these principles. Did my Resource Teachers adhere to these principles?
The teacher adherence of learning principles was so effective.
Somehow, even in a short period of time, the principles were being integrated
efficiently. Based on my judgment on her way of delivering the lesson,
principles of learning used direct the class into actual and real learning.
Considering the nature of the students, she then created a well-balanced
classroom environment and made the students motivated and interested in
the discussion. Aside from that, the assessment of the presentation of lesson
was good and awesome.
Upon she applied the learning principles in the presentation of lesson,
she had given the students chances to feel their essence in learning process.
She developed the learners ability to determine the significance of their
thoughts and meanings. And, for she able to let it happened, teacher
provided experiential experiences through conducting group tasks such as
drawing how the cycle goes, completing the puzzle of the illustration of water
cycle and sequencing the processes of water cycle. They had given
opportunity to share their thoughts to others. The strengths and weaknesses
of every individual were considered through accepting their own individual
differences and multiple intelligences.
