My Learning Episode Overview

This Episode is centered on time-tested principles of learning which when applied
will lead to effective learning. It is good to find out the manner and the extent to which these
principles are applied in the classroom

My Intended Learning Outcome

In this episode, I must be able to identify classroom practices that apply or violate
each of the principles of learning.

My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following;
a. Quality of my observations and documentation,
b. Completeness and depth of my analysis,
c. Depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. Completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. Time of submission of my portfolio
My Learning Essentials
Here are time-tested principles of learning:
1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes
2. Learning is an active process, “ What I hear, I forget; What I see, I remember, what I
do , I understand.”
3. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given the
opportunity to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with real world
experiences and with their own lives.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.
