An Observation Guide for Assessing Teacher

1. What are the objectives of the lesson?
Science
Topic: Understanding matter
Subtopic: Changes that happen in matter
Objectives:
 Identify what is matter.
 Cite some examples of matter.
 Recognize the changes that matter undergoes. (Physical & Chemical Change)

Mathematics
Topic: Addition
Subtopic: Adding one-to-five digit numbers with five-digit numbers without regrouping
Objectives:
 Develop the skill of addition.
 Distinguish the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousands
 Solve one-to-five digit numbers by five-digit numbers without regrouping.

English (Reading)
Objectives:
Topic: Parts of a Book
Subtopic: Table of Contents versus Index
 Identify the parts of the book.
 Differentiate the Table of Contents from the Index.
 Explain the benefits of knowing the Table Contents and Index.
2. How do the learners participate in learning activities?
 In all subject areas the pupils respond very well. When there are activities such as
recitations, most of the pupils respond actively and share their insights and own view about the
topic, the pupils are also open to ask some questions and they are not afraid or shy to tell about
their queries. And when it comes to seat works and board works, I can really notice the focus of
the pupils to answer the questions provided for them.
3. What instructional materials are employed?
Science
 charts and posters
 chalk
 black board
 eraser
 manila paper

Mathematics
 flash cards
 chalk
 black board
 eraser

English (Reading)
 sample indexes
 manila paper with a drawing of table of contents
 book
 chalk
 eraser
 black board

4. How does the teacher assess the learning in the lesson? Is she assessing the process or the
product?
 All of the teachers I interviewed focus on assessing the pupils through the product,
because according to them, it is what matters most and every student has different learning style
to study the lesson, what’s important is that all of them should see the outcome of their learning
and this way the learning will take place easily.

5. What reasons does the teacher give in having such learning activities?
 In Science the teacher preferred to have an activity through the use of graphic organizers.
(In a bubble map, on the top most bubble is matter, under this are the two changes of matter
which are the physical and chemical. The task of the pupils is to put the sample changes in the
appropriate column.)
 The reason for this kind of learning activity is that the pupils can distinguish easily the
difference between the two said changes.
 In Mathematics as usual the traditional board works are considered as the learning
activities.
 The reason for this activity is to test the ability of the student and to practice their skill
correctly and accurately.
 In English, the teacher prepared an activity that the pupils are given a sample index and
table of contents and they need to answer the questions that come after it.
 The reason behind this activity is to measure the speed of the students to identify the parts
of the sample index and table of content and answer the questions appropriately.

Observer

After going through the process of observation, thinking, and reflection of your experience, you surely
have drawn some insights and new understanding of teaching and learning processes. Please express
your thoughts, feelings, insights or new understanding through creative visual representation here. Then
share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.

 What captured my attention most is how important your learning materials and resources would

be. It’s because that having materials that is very “catchy” and interesting will surely get the attention of

the learners especially those of the primary level. It is most important to have creative visual aids in

dealing with the pupils. Also, it is very essential to prepare the learning activities and make sure that it’s

just not only educational but fun in some ways, make it to a point that the pupils will enjoy these activities.
