SECTION/SCHEDULE: Monday 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
DATE: August 23, 2021
TOPIC: Introduction to Teaching – Teaching and learning process
WHAT I LEARNED
Main ideas, key details, and important
facts
 Teaching as a process – Process of
dispensing knowledge to an empty vessel
- it is imparting knowledge and skills
required to master a subject matter
- its showing, telling, giving instruction,
making someone understand in order to
learn.
 Teacher – controls learning, dispenser of
knowledge, an ultimate authority and a
director of learning.
 Teaching – perceived as stimulating,
directing, guiding the learner and evaluating
the learning outcomes of teaching.
- Teacher is the decision maker in teaching;
planned, implemented and etc. by teacher.
- Essential for imparting of knowledge,
learning is the responsibility of the
students.
- Teacher’s checks emotional capacity,
mental capacity, they check if the students
are ready and checks if learner is in priority
of learning.
3 phases/Steps of teaching as a process
Planning
Considers the following
 Learning
- If the student is a new
student/transferee/repeater if the strategies
to use will be the same or changed.
 Availability of materials
- If students may able to access the materials
 Time requirement for each activity
- enough to craft/make the activity
 Strategy needed to achieve the need
- what strategy to use in so that learning will
MY REACTION
Your thoughts, questions, and
connections
For me it is really essential to know the
process of teaching and know the branches
its process. To be able to teach properly or
like as student to report in front my
classmates it is good to know that this kind
of things are more likely to be applied.
Upon learning the teaching and learning
process, I was able to compare the teachers
that apply this kind of teaching styles/
Strategies in my previous years, I would
have never thought that those kind of things
where thought to them and they needed to
study the psychological ways of the
students. Also, I do believe that teaching is
complex and hard to do. I then realized that
I was so pathetic student before because I
wasn’t able to see the part of the teacher
struggles and other boundaries that occur to
their life. I was amazed on like how this
kind of things made me realized that
teachers really do think about the students
that they are handling.
Also based my own understanding and
application, setting goals are more likely
efficient as a student to be productive and
will not left behind from the activities and
the topics. It’s not just on teachers or other
things but we should all be setting priorities
and objectives in our lives in order satisfy
our selves and be able to reach the goal
which is the success in the forms of our own
mind. I do agree on what you say sir
about Learning is the responsibility of the
students and teaching is the responsibility
of the teacher or in other words the
 be efficient.
 Teacher
- if the teacher is ready with confidence.
- Emotionally, physically and emotionally.
Includes the following:
 Needs of the learner
- If it is needed to meet f2f, to use meet or
just PDF form
 Achievable goals and objectives to meet
the needs.
- The needed to achieve from the learning
materials.
 Selection of content to be taught
- Selected topic,
- If needed to be emphasize or just a part of
it, discuss the important topics.
 Motivation to carry out the goal
- What motivates you to learn and keep
doing something is important.
 Strategies most fir to carry out the goals
- consider that each learners are different
types of learning.
 Evaluation process to measure learning
outcomes
- How to evaluate the learning of the
students
- How to evaluate the effectiveness of the
teaching
Implementation
 Based on the objective
 Implementation means putting your plans to
action.
 Interaction of the teacher and learner is
important.
 Use the different teaching style and strategy
Evaluation
 Match of objective with the learning
outcome
- look back if the expectation are met.
 Answer the question if the plans and
implementation have been successfully
achieve.
- If the plans are met.
 A continuous process of feedback and
reflection is made in this three phases of
teaching.
 Feedback includes the critic, comments of
the things that you do.
 Reflection is the process embedded in
teaching where the teacher inquiries into his
action and provides deep critical thinking.
teachers are like the water filling up the
container (students).
Base on your discussion sir, we could really
assess that we learned or just giving our
attention if we have feedback like asking
question on how, why and what. It is also
essential to do the activities related to the
discussion, also the students should also
have ample time to do the task so that they
won’t feel the pressure that they are
experiencing, during this new normal
education most of the students mental health
are really affected, some of us needed
friends to motivate us and also some needed
time to unwind things to freshen our minds.
Base on my observation in this new normal
situation most of the activities we’re like
piled up or we students were like
bombarded with so much task that we could
not help our family in our house, or maybe
the student if more likely pressured because
of the activity that’s why he/she can’t help
do the house chores.
Motivation is really needed to enhance the
way we think in our life or to have positive
mind set to reach the goal in order to satisfy
ourselves. In learning we needed this to
have motivation in order to reach the goal
and to meet the expectations that we really
needed to. In life also we need to evaluate
the things that are happening to us, we
should also keep in mind that in every
action we made there are always be an
effect or outcome that would happen or in
other words what we do now will give us
the future according to the present thing we
do it is either we become productive or we
become lazy.
So overall teaching requires standards of
ways to do in order to give a great impact or
better impact to the students, also learning is
the responsibility of oneself that needed
knowledge to a certain things that would
help him/her reach the goal he wanted to.
In life I do agree that experience is the best
teacher and would give us wisdom to be
able to continue the life we ask.
Basic assumptions can be made based on the
process:
 Teaching is goal oriented with the change
of behavior
- Learning outcome which is goal of
changing the view point, actions or
behavior, and mentality
 That teachers are the ones who shape
actively their own action
- Accept a critic either positive or negative,
how to react to certain things
- In every action there is equivalent reaction.
 Teaching is a rational and a reflective
process
- Logic and strategy, reflect if things are
effective and efficient.
 Teacher actions influences the learners to
change their own thinking or desired
behavior,
- The teachers plant motivation to a student,
and student believe in every word of the
teachers.

Good teaching is…

 One that is well planned & where
activities are interrelated to each
other
- It is according and related to the topic.
 One that provide learning experiences
or situation that will ensure
understanding, application and
critical thinking
- To ensure that the students apply and
learned the things that are thought.
- Experience is the best teacher.
- In order to learn we need to experience
and apply the knowledge that are
attained.
 Based on the theory of learning
- This learning are product of years of
generation in learning.
- Based on the past related teaching and
learning, with series of research.
 One where the learner is stimulated
to think and reason.
- To make the student to think deeper
and to think rational in certain situation.
- To ask how, why and what.
 Utilizes prior learning and its
application to new situation
- To be able to apply the learnings in
every situation.
 Governed by democratic principles
- With freedom to teach and to learn
 Embeds a sound evaluation process
- This is important matter so that you
would know if it effective or not
- It must be righteous not disrespected
 way getting evaluated.

Learning
 Defined as a change in an individual’s
behavior caused by experiences or self-
activity.
 Implies that learning can only happen
through the individuals activity or his
own doing
- Learning is the responsibility of the
students or the learning, this is the main
point of going to school
- Best way to learn is to experience.
 Can be intentional or unintentional
- Intentional – means learning it according
to your own curiosity, allow yourself to
know the things you wanted to learn.
- Unintentional – means not expected to
learn, we don’t know what to happened next

2 Types of learning
Behavioral Learning theories
 Emphasizes observable behavior such as
new skills, knowledge, or attitudes which
can be demonstrated
 Observable and measurable
 If the individual has changed behavior, he
has learned
Cognitive Learning theories
 Human learning in which unobservable
mental processes are used to learn and
remember new information or acquired skill
 Related to concept of meaningful learning
through Cognitive models
