QUESTION:

1. Explain the learning modalities on:

a. Face to face in the classroom—is where the students and the teacher are both physically
present in the classroom, and there are opportunities for active engagement, immediate
feedback, and socio-emotional development of learners. Face-to-face learning is an
instructional method where course content and learning material are taught in person
to a group of students. This allows for a live interaction between a learner and an
instructor. It is the most traditional type of learning instruction. It is a really effective
way to learn knowledge and skills because it often combines different ways of learning
including writing, reading, discussion, presentations, projects, group work,
demonstration and practice. There are a lots of advantages on face to face learning in
the classroom are: You’ll be able to concentrate harder on your learning because there’ll
be less distraction than if you were at home and also you can gain understanding,
stories and real-world examples from teachers and other students. The Students can
pass their homework/ assignments in due time. The students feel more comfortable and
learn more easily in a familiar, traditional classroom situation.

b. Modular approach—It Involves individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-
learning modules (SLMs) in print or digital format/electronic copy, whichever is
applicable in the context of the learner, and other learning resources like Learner’s
Materials, textbooks, activity sheets, study guides and other study materials. Learners
access electronic copies of learning materials on a computer, tablet PC, or smartphone.
CDs, DVDs, USB storage and computer-based applications can all be used to deliver e-
learning materials, including offline E-books. The teacher takes the responsibility of
monitoring the progress of the learners. The learners may ask assistance from the
teacher via e-mail, telephone, text message/instant messaging, etc. Where possible, the
teacher shall do home visits to learners needing remediation or assistance. Any member
of the family or other stakeholder in the community needs to serve as para-teachers. It
is common knowledge that education is the key to become productive citizens in our
country so that most, if not all, of the parents are working hard to earn money just to
sustain the needs of their children. But the present education system has encountered
challenges in delivering basic education caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, where
holding of classes in schools. The education system is greatly affected by the Covid-19 .
But despite this, the Department of Education (DepEd) is still to continue delivering
basic education through modular. In a modular approach to engage the student in a
dialogue about what they have learned by completing the module. This dialogue might
take place in an online or classroom discussion, in a small- group activity, or through a
writing assignment. It might also contribute to a students grade for participation.
 c. Online class— It features the teacher facilitating learning and engaging learners’ active
participation using various technologies accessed through the internet while they are
geographically remote from each other during instruction. The internet is used to
facilitate learner-teacher and peer-to-peer communication. Online learning is a form of
live synchronous platform where it requires both parties to have good and stable
internet connection. It is often more interactive than the other types of distance
learning. The responses is real-time. The learners may download materials from the
internet, complete and submit assignments online, attend webinars and virtual classes.
This is practiced effectively by using a Learning Management System or related
technologies. The use of DepEd Commons and LR Portal falls in this category as both
requires internet connectivity to have access. An online class course is one you take
online using a computer, without being with a teacher or other students in a classroom.
You have greater flexibility and can study from home. Most courses don’t need you to
be online at a certain time of day or night, but you must actively participate in the
course during the course time frame. There are the advantage of an online class; 1. You
can study in the comfort of your own home, or wherever you want, 2.you are able to
build up your skills interacting with technology. 3. You will avoid being late to class, or
getting distracted in class.

2. Discuss the integration of values education in the teaching-learning process.

Answer:

Integration of values with teaching subjects should aim to develop positive environment and
feelings so that students are enabled to internalize those, and activate all three domains of learning,
i.e. cognitive, psychomotor and affective in the process. Conviction that values can be fostered
through planned experiences in schools. Value education is subsumed under the objectives of
education. Value education promotes unconditional striving for goodness. Value education is
considered with all domains of personality i.e. cognitive, affective and cognitive. Education in values
follows a process - awareness, appreciation, willingness, conviction and action. This is also a process
of exploration, thinking and reflection and not imposition. Values are best fostered by example /
influence and imbibed by observation and emulation. Method of teaching values is different from
the method of subject teaching. However, the role of instruction, guidance and supervision cannot
be ignored. School should have its own philosophy and framework of values which determine the
pedagogical inputs. The pedagogical inputs given by the teacher will be determined by their
perception of the assigned tasks, roles and responsibilities. The sources of values are the curriculum
and textbooks - values inherent in them have to be integrated. There cannot be a prescriptive
 pedagogy for value integration. There are different models and strategies. These models and
strategies vary according to the age, grade, and subject. The pre-requisites for value inculcation are
certain kinds of teacher behaviors, attitudes, ways of interaction and classroom atmosphere. The
teaching learning strategy should reflect humanistic and life perspectives. As mentioned earlier,
appropriate strategies need to be used by the teacher for transacting values through planned and
committed efforts. Values Integration is about teaching Students how to use their knowledge for the
betterment of themselves and society. The outcome is not What society can offer us but what we as
individuals can offer society to make the world a better place. It is very important of values
education in the teaching-learning Process we want to create a more sustainable world, with stable
economies and more just and inclusive societies. A difficult but not unattainable target if we can
count on the involvement of governments, institutions, businesses, and above all, a responsible and
committed public. For examples is we should also become specialist in those lessons that are
fundamental to living in harmony and social progress such as respect, empathy, equality, solidarity
and critical thinking. Without these and other ethical principles that define us as human beings, it
will be difficult for us to build a better world.

3. Give your insights, “the teacher is no longer a sole giver of the lesson, but a facilitator of
learning of the students.”

ANSWER:

Firstly we define the term facilitate which stands, to promote, to help forward, to make easy. Hence, the
context of instruction, a teacher’s role would be to promote learning, to help students, to develop more
and more by learning, by providing them a conductive environment to interact with, in order to bring
about learning and further development.

When a teacher is part of the environment in which students are learning, or is participating in the
process of instruction, he/she is an instructional input when he/she is in providing certain guidance in
order to bring about learning of students by way of their interaction with relevant instructional
components.

A facilitator is the person who assist a group of people in grasping bat their common targets and in
achieving them without any intervention on his/her behalf. Therefore, when we say the teacher has to
play the role of a facilitator in the classroom, this means that the teacher should not be the king who
controls the Activities if the learners. He/she should grant the learners some space to let the spirit’s of
creativity and innovation. In other words, the learners must get involved into an active participation that
would’ve represented in argumentative discussion and teamwork Activities, so that the process of
learning become comprehensive Finally, being a facilitator in a classroom means being a successful
teacher. This means that once builds constructionist classes where there are mutual positive and active
responses from the teacher and the learners, and even among the learners within the one classroom.

He/ she are a facilitator of learning. There are different methods to promote learning. Some are student-
centered-like library work, project work, experimentation home assignment etc. where major focus is on
how student organize their steps of learning by interacting within different environmental components
like printed matter, natural realities etc. All such methods show that teacher guides students as to how
to go about learning sequence, this facilitating their learning. At last we can conclude that in all student-
centered methods teacher is a facilitator and not a participant.
