(focus)
With reference to MOE outcomes for KG, Select when applicable? There are no outcomes
yet, because of the MS. Stephanie in the video she explained her classroom’s learning
environment and display.
What related MOE standards, outcomes or LOs were being addressed in the video?
There were standards that related to MOE standards such as, classroom with all supplies
needed, safe classroom, creative classroom, and have different sections in each corner like
(roleplay, reading area, library area, math area, English area, and the focus group area.
How did you cater for learners with special needs, and for differentiation? (if applicable)
While I observed the videos for Ms. Stephanie, she prepared a library area and specific
books for special needs children, also she provides two specific chairs for special needs
children.
How did the teacher implement the (your area of focus)?
While I observed Ms. Stephanie's video, I was taking notes about what she has been
implemented in her beautiful classroom. She has a safe and creative learning environment;
she describes the outside and inside the classroom. The theme for her class was rainbow.
Outside: the door decorated with welcome letters and colorful rainbow.
Inside: Ms. Stephanie puts a rainbow chart on the door.Near the door, there are cards for
children's names, also, there are like a paper beside the door to write the absents of the day
and to writes notes.

Roleplay display.
Ms. Stephanie organizations the library to engage the children in a creative place, Also,
there differentiations books for different levels.
What was the goal of implementing this strategy (your area of focus)?
To make a safe learning environment, children who are afraid often stay away from school.
A safe learning environment is focused on academic achievement, maintaining high
standards, fostering positive relationships between staff and children, and encouraging
parental and community involvement. One of the major benefits of safe learning
environments is that children will begin to take pride in their work and in themselves. One
of the best ways to help your children along with this goal is to skip right to the result and
celebrate their achievements as they are happening.
Overall aim and context of the lesson (What did students need to know before implementing
this strategy or lesson? What topic comes you expect to come next and how did today’s
lesson prepare students for that? Or/ How do you expect students to perform after this (area
of focus) implementation?)
The aim of this video is to show how the safe learning environment looks likes, the children
needs to know that the classroom it can be safe as their home and Ms. Stephanie should let
the children know that the classroom is safe for them they can, express, explore,
communication, share with each other. I think the children will be very happy to have a
wonderful and creative teacher that will teach them. Also, I believe that the children will
engage with Ms. Stephanie and have creative and fun experiences.

What experiences did she provide to the students to help them to achieve the aims for them?
There are no experiences yet, because of the MS. Stephanie in the video she explained her
classroom’s environment and display.
Analyze
Were students excited, always occupied, and remained on task during the lesson?
Why do you think the students responded the way that they did?
How well did her teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding (of your area of
focus)?
There is no information about these questions, because of the MS. Stephanie in the
video she explained her classroom’s environment and display.
Appraise
Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective (based on your own
observation)
Did the lesson meet the main goal of (your area of focus)?
There is no information about these questions, because of the MS. Stephanie in the
video she explained her classroom’s environment and display.
Transform
How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future (with a focus on the
area of observation)?
In Ms. Stephine’s video, there is no lesson implement becouse she only explained her
classroom’s environment and display.
What are the implications for teachers’ professional practice of helping students to enhance
their learning in this way (with a focus on the area of observation)?
The children in Ms. Stephine’s classroom will makes children would do better when they
learn in positive environments. Most teachers would agree that some environments are more
conducive to learning and academic performance. For example, a child read a book in a
quiet, peaceful classroom will almost certainly do better than a child taking the same test in
a loud, chaotic room. The teacher can know how much influence environments have on
children's success, that children who learn in positive environments effectively receive a
higher educational level.
(i.e. what skill will the teacher have to develop or learn? What professional development will
she have to undertake?)
In Ms. Stephine’s video, there is no lesson implement or skills that can observe and
write comments about it becouse she only explained her classroom’s environment
and display.

project-based
learning. ( Science)
MCT Dr. Aysha Date Dec 16, 2015
Area of observation
(focus)
With reference to MOE outcomes for KG, Select when applicable? They have an science
experiment about the egg and seeds.
While I observed the video, I notice that the MOE also focus on critical thinking as the
teacher in the video. Critical thinking is the ability to analyze the way the student thinks and
present evidence for the student's ideas. Students can gain numerous benefits from
mastering critical thinking skills, such as better control of their own learning and empathy
for other points of view.
Moreover, The MOE believing in inquiry-based learning, and the teachers in the UAE they
use this strategy with their students, to make them think highly.
The MOE explains that inquiry-based learning is can promote a deeper understanding of
content by delving into a concept through inquiry, students should see it as more than a
simple rule, idea, or formula, the students will understand: (How the idea was developed),
(Why the rule or formula works) and (When they can properly apply the rule, idea or
formula).
The teacher in UAE can use Inquiry when traditional methods won’t work so the guided
inquiry activities can lend themselves to topics that students typically struggle to grasp,
allowing them to process content in different ways. When the teacher presents Investigating
a question, they should be able to use their own techniques to analyze information that may
normally be too challenging otherwise. As a result, they’ll likely form conclusions that make
sense to them. After that, the teacher can discuss with her students about the results.
In the video, they were no special needs.
While I observed the video, the teacher was focus on teacher-guided students to the
curriculum and they start the inquiry model incidents, in other words (From teacher-guided
to student-driven).
Also, the teacher lets the students be active with critical thinking to solve problems.
In the whiteboard, there are two charts the student writes down what they think for solving
problems there are 2 questions (what is the problem? / what are the possible solutions?).
Name: Azza Khalifa
Id: H00372366
Teacher in the video tries to build the foundation of higher-level inquiry. The teacher
develops the guided inquiry model based on the curriculum but the students shaping what
they won't go with it.
The school provide a lab for the students so they can express and explore themselves with
these problems.
Students in the video go to the lab and they try to figure out the which is sed and which is
egg, they have a paper to write steps, and then they test it and see what will happens.
Moreover, they use drawing critical thinking to solve the problems. The teacher-guided
them to make them think and ask them self. They are excited and have the power to know
the answer. Also, the inquiry is successful in teaching them how to write the appropriate
questions.
The goals of implementing inquiry-based learning are to guide them to make them think and
ask themselves, in the video, there were excited and have the power to know the answer.
While the teacher implements the inquiry-based learning it enhances learning experiences
for students by sitting in a classroom taking notes isn’t always the most effective or fun way
to learn. Rather than memorizing facts from the teacher, inquiry-based learning enhances
the learning process by letting students explore topics themselves. Also, teaches skills needed
for all areas of learning as they explore a topic, students build critical thinking and
communication skills.
Moreover, the cognitive skills that students develop can be used to improve comprehension
in every subject, as well as in day-to-day life. Also, increases engagement with the material
as a form of active learning, this approach encourages students to fully engage in the
learning process, by allowing students to explore topics, make their own connections, and
ask questions, they can learn more effectively.
The inquiry is successful by teaching them how to write appropriate questions, in the video,
the students were very motivated and excited to solve the problem and know the answer. In
the future, I will use the critical thinking to teach by applying inquiry-based learning with
my students, to make them in the highest level of thinking and solving problems.

The teacher aiming to achieve critical thinking by using inquiry-based learning to figure out
and solve problems in different ways in different results.

While I observed the video, the teacher provides for her students all the materials to explore
the problem and let them try to solve the problem by using different materials and methods.
Analyze
The students in the video were so excited and they look happy while they write the steps and
try to figure out the solutions for the problem, and they continued exploring during all the
class time.
The students there were excited and have a fun time exploring the problem because the
teacher uses the strategy (Solve problem) that make the students motivated to work with it
to answer the question their head.

• The students know how to write any steps to do or work with something, the student was
able to use different materials in a safe way.
• The students were collaboration and communication with each other in a nice way.
• The students were sharing ideas and views of points for the problem.

While I observed the video and the students, I noticed that there were very motivated and
trying hard to know the answers for their questions in their head, I would like to have my
student go through this experience, I believe they will be exited as the student in the video,
Next semester I will use the problem solve exploration.
Yes, the lesson meets the main goal, because the students enjoyed answering the questions
with active energy, and this what I want to be my students to enjoy study, enjoy answering
questions, and enjoy while they thinking about the steps and how to figure out the answers.
Using inquiry-based is a great strategy to activate your students with the lesson.
Transform
In the future I will use inquiry-based learning with my students to let them have a high level
of thinking a solving, I will include the inquiry-based learning in each subject (Math,
English, and Science). I will use this strategy because the inquiry-based learning led to the
critical thinking and critical thinking is important in daily life, it helps students to think
creatively ‘outside the box’. It keeps the students from becoming narrow. Also, critical
Name: Azza Khalifa
Id: H00372366
thinking is expected of students in higher education, it can lead to developing student's

judgment, evaluation, and problem-solving abilities.
The teacher who uses inquiry-based learning will have students with a higher level of
thinking and solving problems and this is one of the benefits of using inquiry-based learning
will lead the teacher to have developed in a professional way, this will support the teacher in
her teaching experiences.
I think the teacher in the video she teaches her student in an important way by letting the
students exploring the problem by themselves and she already has the professional
development by using inquiry-based learning.

(focus)
With reference to MOE outcomes for KG, Select when applicable? It has different types of
tools in the activities for blended learning and flipped learning.
Special education students work on individualized education plans that focus on helping students
achieve goals and measure the progress they are making. If a special education student has not
mastered a learning goal, then they continue to work on that goal. Blended learning focuses on
mastery-based learning in the same way, because students can go at their own pace, students do
not move on from a subject area until they have mastered the content. Special education students
would be able to readily adapt to a blended learning environment due to this similarity. Special
education students have nothing to fear from blended learning blended learning has more in
common with special education instruction then one might think. It’s easy to overlook the
negative impact on certain sub-groups of students when new teaching pedagogies like Blended
Learning are introduced, however Blended Learning environments mirror positive aspects of
special education learning services and will foster a new understanding and appreciation for
unique learning needs in all students.

In the first video, the instructor just explained the blended learning environment and flipped
classrooms. In the second video, the teacher was applying blended learning with her
students. By having different centers and activities. Ms. Crofford use classwork to blend
learning in her classroom, Education games group, Reading programs group, and
traditional Reading group with timer.
In the first video:

The instructor talked about flipped learning, Flipping helps students of all abilities to excel
because all the direct instruction is recorded, students with special needs can watch the
Name: Azza Khalifa
Id: H00372366
videos as many times as they need to learn the material. Instead, students can pause their
teacher, rewind their teacher, and make sure they learn the important concepts.
Also, the instructor talked about 21st-century skills that are more important to students
now than ever before. They not only provide a framework for successful learning in the
classroom but ensure students can thrive in a world where change is constant and learning
never stops. And they are also tremendously important for our nation's well being.
Blended learning means students learn from the computer, to improve educational learning.
Help students to learn and help teachers to be more effective. Their own computers in their
home they can have their owned web they can have feedback answers from media accesses
their lessons from home. This is an excellent tool to become students with digital learning.
The important features of the blended learning environment are:
The teacher should have these four components to have a successful blended and flipped
learning: Flexibility - commitment - mindset encourages our students - the role of the
teacher.
In the second video:

The goal of implementing the important features of the blended learning environment are:
• Increased student engagement in learning

• Enhanced teacher and student interaction
• Responsibility for learning
• Time management
• Improved student learning outcomes
• Time flexibility
• Enhanced institutional reputation
• More flexible teaching and learning environment
• Offers 24/7 access to training resources.
• Track employee performance and skill development.
• Reduction in training costs.
• Provides personalized training experiences
The students need to know how to work with technology

tools for having appropriate blended learning and
flipping learning. Also, students should start the
blended or the flipped learning in easy ways and in
ways programs.
The goal of blended and flipped learning are:
Flexibility, blended learning classes offer flexibility for teachers in how they present
material and for students in the pace and variety of the learning approaches they
experience.

Effectiveness, studies have shown that because blended learning incorporates multiple
methods of instruction from an assortment of perspectives, it proves to have an effective
learning outcome for most students involved.
Teacher empowerment, by incorporating technology into classroom instruction, teachers are

freed up to reach more students. Teachers can move within the stations or activities to
interact with individual or small groups of students and check on progress. Data provided
by educational technology programs also empowers teachers with insights on each student’s
learning so they can more effectively address gaps.
Engagement, because most students today are surrounded by technology in their everyday
life, they often engage more easily with the material when technology is incorporated in
instructional settings. Additionally, students become empowered as they expand their
technical skills and competency with technology.
Differentiation, because blended learning incorporates a variety of instructional approaches,

learning activities can be tailored to address numerous learning styles. Additionally, high-
quality digital educational tools allow teachers to measure each student’s individual learning
level and provide activities and instruction that meet the child where they are to give them
appropriate lesson material.

Blended learning gets the teacher to be more creative and professional because the blended
learning that uses apps, games, or measurable programs to teach concepts allows students to
engage the material at their own pace. It can promote deeper learning, reduce stress, and
increase student satisfaction. Teachers can become more engaged with their students.
Flipping allows teachers to know their students better and flipping allows us to build better
relationships with our students. This is due to increased teacher-student interaction.
