1. How can you structure and organize your own learning? Do you see logic of what you are
learning in schools?
Learning for me signifies a big embodiment of my awareness that I am part of the people,
the society, and the universe I belong to. To learn is such a broad and complex process to
manifest, therefore I exercise personal strategies for my learning structure and organization.
This includes relating the things I learn to the environment I have, how I can relate these
information as one and also how I could apply these to the course of my action. Hence, I believe
that since learning isn't done by just a simple session, learning in school where students
undergo levels signifies that learning takes time and it takes a long process. By what I'm
learning in school, I give relation and application to my daily life. So, I connote that learning in
school is indeed important in its definition that it must be related to daily realistic situations
especially if students will also embody effective learning strategies the same as mine.

2. Who do you think are the best people with whom you can relate with in order to learn
better? How can you improve your relationship with them?
My classmates are the best people whom I can relate with in order to learn better.
Whenever one of us finds it hard to digest or understand the lessons, we consult it in our group
chat. Upon reading the message, we are going to share our knowledge and ideas with regards
to it. Through this, all of us understand our lessons well and can finally answer the
corresponding activities. And I can improve my relationship with them through having an
interactive communication not just about the school stuffs but also about our daily living. Most
importantly, I will never treat or see any of my classmates as my competitor. I want all of us to
have a good grades and pass this semester. I will try my best to help them and give back all the
good things that they are doing for me. To sum it up, my classmates are the people whom I
share my common grounds with to acquire knowledge better.

3. What activities do you do to monitor your learning? Discuss.

I always assess myself if I have improved. If after learning, I became much stronger since I
already manifest a more complex cognitive competence through the following activities. First, I
am applying what I have learned from the discussion to the real-life situation. By that, I can
understand it more and the knowledge retain inside my mind and heart. Second, I am sharing
the things that I have learned to other people. I make sure that I have a precise knowledge
about it before sharing. Lastly, I am creating my own quizzes for each module. Theses activities
helps me monitor my learning. With all these accounts, I could say my mindset that there will
always be room for improvement in me is still there. No matter how competent I could be,
being sensible that I still have some gray-areas will provide me to learn more. And with that,
more acceptance for learning can still cave in for me.

4. If you were already a teacher, how would your students see that the goals and activities in
schools relate to the values and aspirations in their homes and communities?
It is very important for a teacher like me to exercise a teaching strategy that doesn't just
rely on bookish definition but also give importance to real life applications and more
importantly values that can be incorporated in the lessons I teach. For more than intelligence,
there are values in this world that are far more important for students to learn. Moreover,
having interactive discussions that promotes brainstorming and raising of different opinions
from students can also be of great contribution to empower students’ constructive learning.
