1. Should teachers conduct research using their student as subjects?

“Teachers continue to learn as they teach.”

Since the 18th century, the teaching methodology is evolving as the

generation changes. There are several techniques of teaching that can be
acquired by the different type of learners. In order to become an effective
teacher, the teacher must do research to collect several data that will help
in choosing the best suitable technique for the classroom. This will also
ease the process of planning, designing, and organizing the lesson plans
and classroom management. By doing such research, the teacher should
take into consideration the background history, cultural and family situation
of a student; for example, the knowledge of diverse cultural background.
Through her observation, the teacher will be able to detect different ability
among her students so she would be able to create strategies and
techniques that best fit the student’s needs and abilities. Therefore, the
effective teachers are able to use differentiated instruction.

2. In our case study, Susan Bradburn is representing an effective

teacher because she has created the museum school where she
enables hands-on activity lesson. This makes it clear that those are
doing are those are learning. By this creation, she allowed the
students to work in groups, do collaborative work, help students learn
and gain real-life experience firsthand. Teachers do not ask for any
materialistic rewards in general; however, the satisfaction of self-
achievement is reached when knowing that the lesson or knowledge
to the different learner is adapted. There is nothing more rewarding
for the teacher other than leaving a positive fingerprint impact on the
students being inspired, guided, encouraged, motivated, improved,
learned, loved and accepted. Thus, the teacher gets to create his/her
own healthy and safe environment for the class where personal rules
are set, develop a rapport with the student, flourish and create
memories with the students and motivate them. The teacher does not
only teaches students how to read and write (academically) but also
teaches how to deal with a certain problem, control their emotions
and their temper and enable forgiveness and teaches them how to

love and help. Therefore, an effective teacher does not wear one hat
where it teaches certain information, but reinforce and improve the
character and develop certain skill in the student.
