ACTIVITY #4

PART II. Choose at least three authors among the authors mentioned above. Make
your own classroom activity using the principles of your chosen authors.

1. VYGOTSKY (1981)

As a teacher, I will give them a story/reading passages. I will let them read the story.
After that, I will ask them questions to know check their comprehension. But before that,
I will introduce them the unfamiliar words or unlocking of difficulties in order for them to
know the meaning of that words

2. DEWEY (1966)

As a science teacher, I will give them a laboratory experiment about the parts the frog.
Before that, I will show them some photos of the parts of the frog and let them watch
how to dissect a frog and introduce them the external and internal parts of the frog.

3. PEZTALOZI (1979)

As a kinder teacher, I will give an activity using their senses. I will introduce them the
rough and smooth things or materials and I will called them one by one to touch those
things and compare it. Through that, their sense of touch will develop and their early
age.

PART III. Answer the following questions:

A. Which author’s theory do you like most? Why?

I like the most is the theory of John Dewey. It is because in his theory, the children
apply what he/she learns. Letting the child explore something new in order to learn. It
emphasizes the child ability to learn independently.

B. Among the theories, which do you think is the most applicable in your place to
improve reading? Why?

I think the most applicable theory in my place is the theory of Montessori. Montessori is
a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and
collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their
learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age appropriate
activities to guide the process. The child needs to explore with their own in order to
learn independently.
