Reflection
According to Stephen R. Covey “To begin with the end in mind means to
start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where
you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the
steps you take are always in the right direction.” This quote is really sound as
teaching practice of a teachers. As a teacher, they should really start their lesson
by presenting their lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes with their
students. Before the discussion they should be able to mind the learning
outcomes until the end of the lesson or goals of their lesson to be able to
measure the capabilities of their students in the class discussion.
Based on my observation to the lesson objectives of ma’am Abonales, her
lesson objectives or intended learning outcomes was considered as SMART or
specific, measurable, attainable, result-oriented and time-bounded and according
to her she always make sure of that.
In making the lesson objectives it is very useful if it is specific,
measurable, attainable, result-oriented and time-bounded. If you’re objectives is
SMART, it is really helpful for the teachers, it will serve as their guide with regard
to the learning objectives or intended learning outcomes. They can measure the
progress and intellectual capacity of their students.
Based on my observation with the resource teachers, the lesson objective/s
intended learning outcomes of maam Abonales were in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective
domains.
According to maam Abonales, it is necessary to have objectives always in the 3 domains –
cognitive, psychomotor and affective. They always make that before they started their lesson, they
set their towards their expectations from the students in form of the lesson objectives. The three
domains were helpful to the learning of the student to practice their critical thinking skills, practice
their physical skills and also it deals with their attitudes, values and emotions.
