LEARNING EPISODE 1
THE SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENT
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME
 At the end of this episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school
environment that is safe, secure and is supportive learning.
The Learning Essentials
1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent Practices that:
o keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction,
o maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
o address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students
2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning

environment. They help in building and establishing the school culture. These boards
become one way for everyone to learn about the vision-mission, goals, and values that
the school upholds.
3. As a basic part of the school's visual environment, display boards have. four general
purposes:
 Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social
and psychological atmosphere of the school.
 Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence.
 An example would be the display of students' outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners' growth and
progress.
 Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.

 Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through interactive

displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learning
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication.
Attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility,
correctness, and durability.

LEARNING EPISODE 2
LEARNERS DIVERSITY:
DEVELOPMENTAL,
CHARACTERISTICS, NEEDS AND
INTEREST
 At the end of this Episode, I must be able to describe the characteristics needs, interest
of learner from different development.
Here are major principles of development relevant to, this Episode:
1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as, from the
head to the toe (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards
2. Development takes place gradually.
3. All domains of development and learning physical, social and emotional, and cognitive- are
important, and they are closely interrelated. (NAEYC, 2009)
4. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or
representational capabilities. (NAEYC, 2009)

LEARNING EPISODE 3
FOCUS ON GENDER, NEEDS, STRENGTH,
INTEREST, EXPERIENCES LANGUAGE, RACE,
CULTURE, RELIGION, SOCIO-ECONOMIC
STATUS, DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES AND
INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 describe the characteristics and needs of learners from diverse backgrounds

 identify the needs of students with different levels of abilities in the classroom
 identify best practices in differentiated teaching to suit the varying learner needs
in a diverse class and
 demonstrate openness, understanding, and acceptance of the learners' diverse
needs and backgrounds.
REVISIT the Learning Essentials
Here are principles and concepts relevant to this episode:
1. Principles of Development
a. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child to child, as well
as at uneven rates across different areas of the child's functioning. (NAEYC
2019)
b. Development and learning are maximized when learners are challenged to
achieve at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when
they have many opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.

24
c. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match

the learning content, activities and assessment to the different characteristics,
abilities, interests and needs of the learners.
2 The PPST highlighted the following factors that bring about the diversity of
learners:
a. Differences in learners' gender, needs, strengths, interests, and experiences
b. Learners' linguistic, cultural, socio-economic and religious backgrounds
c. Learners with disabilities. giftedness, and talents
d Leaners under challenging circumstances which include geographic isolation,
chronic illness, displacement due to armed conflict, urban resettlement or
disasters, child abuse, and child labor.
Effective teachers are knowledgeable about how issues related to the factors
mentioned affect learners. The teachers develop in them sensitivity and empathy. They
remember that the learners respond and perform at different levels. The teachers
assure the students that their gender identity culture and religion are respected, their
strengths are recognized, and their needs will be met. These teachers declare to all that
everyone has the chance to learn and succeed. They create a learning community
where everyone can work together and contribute regardless of their abilities, capacities
and circumstances.
Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:

 use strategies to build a caring community in the classroom
 model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions
 bring each of the student's home culture and language into the shared culture of
the school
 provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition
3. Focus on Indigenous Peoples

A young teacher's approach to indigenous peoples starts with a keen awareness
of one’s own identity, including one's beliefs and cultural practices. Through serious
reflection one may realize that the self is a product of all the influences of key people in
one's life and the community, real and virtual. Similarly, learners from indigenous
groups carry with them their beliefs, views and cultural, practices. One's attitude needs
to be that of openness and respect. Come in not with the view that one's own culture is
superior, we approach with the sincere willingness and deep interest to know and
understand the indigenous peoples' culture. We aim to make teaching-learning
facilitative rather than imposing.
a. From your professional education subjects/courses, most likely you have
discussed indigenous peoples in the Philippines. You learned that our country
has about 110 ethno-linguistic groups, majority of which is in Mindanao,
some in Northern Luzon and fewer in the Visayas. (UNDP Philippines, 2010).
They represent about 10-20% of our total population. There are two big

25
indigenous peoples groups which have several smaller ethnic groups within
them, the non-muslim groups called the Lumads in Mindanao, and the
Igorots in Northern Luzon. Among others, we have the Badjaos, Ati and
Tumandok, Mangyans, and Aetas.
b. Republic Act 8371 (1997), the Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act, recognizes
and protects the rights of indigenous cultural communities (ICC) and
indigenous peoples (IP). Our country was admired by other nations for
enacting this law. However, years later, so much still has to be done prove
the lives of millions of people from indigenous groups. (Reyes, Mina and Asis,
2017)
c. Guided by RA 8371, in 2015 DepEd issued DO 32, s.2015, Adopting the
Indigenous Peoples Education (IPED) Curriculum Framework, Most useful for
you as a future teacher to remember are the 5 Key Elements of an
Indigenous Peoples Education Curriculum (DO 32, s.2015
enclosure.pp.15-18):
1. Curriculum Design, Competencies and Content. Interfacing the national

curriculum with Indigenous Knowledge systems and practices (IKSPs) and
Indigenous Learning systems (ILS) the design of a culturally appropriate and
responsive curriculum has the following features:
a. Anchors the learning context on the ancestral domain, the community's world
view, and its indigenous cultural institutions.
b. Includes and respects. The community's expression of spirituality as part of
the curriculum context.
c. Affirms and strengthens indigenous cultural identity.
d. Revitalizes, regenerates, strengthens, and enriches IKSPs, ILS, and indigenous
languages.
e. Emphasizes competencies that are needed to support the development and
protection of the ancestral domain, the vitality of their culture, and the
advancement of indigenous peoples' rights and welfare.
f. Supports the community's efforts to discern new concepts that will contribute
to the community's cultural integrity while enabling meaningful relations with
the broader society.
2. Teaching Methodologies and Strategies. A culturally appropriate and

responsive
curriculum employs teaching methodologies and strategies that strengthen,
enrich, and complement the community's indigenous teaching-learning
process.

26
3. Learning Space and Environment. A culturally appropriate and responsive

curriculum recognizes that the ancestral domain where IKSPs are
experienced, lived, and learned is the primary learning environment and
learning space of indigenous learners.
4. Learning Resources. Instructional materials, and other learning resources shall

be developed and utilized in line with the described curriculum content and
teaching- learning processes
5. Classroom Assessment. Assessment shall be done utilizing tools appropriate to

the
standards, competencies, skills, and concepts being covered. Their design and
use shall address the needs and concerns of the community and shall be
developed with their participation.

LEARNING EPISODE 4
LEARNER DIVERSITY: THE COMMUNITY
AND HOME ENVIRONMENT

 describe the influencing factors in the home environment that affect the
students' learning,
 seek advice concerning strategies that build relationships with parents/guardians
and the wider community; and
 identify effective strategies on how teachers can work together with the family.
1. Urie Bronfenbrenner’s biological model presents the learner within the context of
layer of relationship system that make up the learner’s environment. The layers
are:
Microsystem Mesosystem Exosystem Macrosystem Chronosystem

includes the the connection the bigger Outermost layer the element of

neighborhood the workplace life.
and the mass
media
The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner's environment
to understand his behavior. The teacher's important role is not to replace what is

41
missing at home (if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that
welcomes and nurtures families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the
family and the community to bring out the best in every learner.
2. Baumrind's Parenting Styles
Authoritarian. Parents- are very firm with their children and expect unwavering
and unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met
with withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations.
May be warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither

demanding nor responsive to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support
or guidance.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have
clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children
with respect and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their
behavior.
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited,

hostile and aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are
often impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of
independence and responsibility.
Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be the least competent in their

over-all functioning and adjustment.
Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater

ability to show self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better
adjusted.

outcomes; and
 analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching
strategies and assessment.
School Curriculum: What is this about?
From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such
definition of total learning outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called
school. Schools are formal institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are
the learners and the teachers. Basic education in the Philippines is under the
Department of Education or DepEd and the recommended curriculum is the K-12 or
Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic education schools offering
kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10, Junior High
School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.

68
What are the salient features of the K to12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It
is a curriculum that:
1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of
contextualized lessons and addition of issues like disaster preparedness,
climate change and information and of communication technology (ICT) are
included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and values,
attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject.
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main
language in studying and learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will
become ready for higher level skills.
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a
spiral progression where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they
study the complex ones in the next grade level. The progression of topics
matches with the developmental and cognitive skills. This process strengthens
the mastery and retention.
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education
in Grade 12 will be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of
careers will be defined when they go to Grade 11 and 12.
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner
will be ready to embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall
that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in
the country.
 The enhanced curriculum K to12 curriculum is the Recommended

Curriculum. It is to be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act
10533.
 When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency
standards of the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It
reflects the substance of RA 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
2013. In the teacher's class it is the lesson plan. A lesson plan is a written
curriculum in miniscule.
 What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is
putting life to the written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught
Curriculum. The guidance of the teacher is very crucial.
 A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects,
gadgets, laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement
the curriculum. This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
 In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the
lesson plan, an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or
end of the lesson. The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.

69
 The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned

Curriculum. Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates
accomplishment of learning outcomes.
 However, there are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not
written, nor deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include
peer influence, the media, school environment, the culture and tradition,
natural calamities and many more. This curriculum is called Hidden
Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.
So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with
the school curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic
education? Teachers then should be multi talented professionals who:
 know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
 write the curriculum to be taught
 plan the curriculum to be implemented;
 initiate the curriculum which is being introduced;
 innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;
 implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
 evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

PREPARING FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

 identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the principles of
teaching learning
 determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied
in instruction;
 judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;
 determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are achieved at the
end of the lesson;
 observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher; and
 differentiate the different methods of teaching.
These are the time-tested principles of teaching and 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.

81
A teaching method consists of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-

learning process. It is the practical realization or application of an approach. All methods
of teaching can be classified either as deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

LEARNING EPISODE 10
THE INSTRUCTIONAL CYCLE

 identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of
teaching strategies.
 determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with
outcome-based teaching and learning.
 identify the Resource Teacher's questioning and reacting techniques.
 outline a lesson in accordance with outcome based teaching-learning.
These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students' everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated
bits of information.
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its
K to 12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) has been ahead of DepEd and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in
the practice of Competency Standards-Based teaching and Assessment. CHED requires
all higher education institutions in the country to go outcome-based education (OBE) in
its CHED Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE

90
applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to competency-based and

standards-based teaching and learning in the Kto12 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs)
and in turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning
outcomes. In other words, in OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes
(lesson objectives). Then you determine which teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and
also the assessment tasks (ATS) you will have to use to find out if you attained your
ILO's.
In lesson planning, the ILOs are our lesson objectives, the TLA's are the activities
we use to teach and the AT's are the evaluation part.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery
learning of Benjamin Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE and OBTL
Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the
art of questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of
instruction.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.
Types of Questions that Teachers As
1. Factual /Convergent/Closed /Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions

With one acceptable answer
2. Divergent /Open-ended/High-level Open-ended; has more than one acceptable

/Higher- answer

a. evaluation
b. inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked it
up, she was all smiles. What can you infer
about
Liz?
c. comparison
d. application
e. problem-solving
3. Affective e.g. How do you feel?
These are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:

91
1. Providing acceptance feedback

2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/ expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening

UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers Version 3 (ICT CFT v3, 2018)
The Information and Communications Technology Competency Framework for Teachers
(ICT CFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers' development on the
effective and appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should
know and do clustered in six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in Education, 2.
Curriculum and Assessment, 3. Pedagogy, 4. Application of Digital Skills, 5. Organization
and administration, and 6. Teacher Professional Learning.
Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide
teachers as they develop their 1CT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level
2, Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission on Higher
Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most
likely you have tackled this in your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes.

99
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this
episode. The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect about the
competencies discussed in the framework. (Access it

The Learning Resource Center
1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the
teaching-learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved.
Some of the names are Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource
Center, Teaching-Learning Technology Department, or Simply Learning
Resource Center
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcome was the ever-
expanding interface between the traditional library and ICT both in terms of
hardware and software systems and applications.
3. Schools may have different set-ups when it comes to a Learning Resource
Center (LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a
separate library, LRC, and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some only have the
LRC both for teachers and students. Still some have combined their learning
resource centers with maker spaces.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio-visual and
ICT resources to support the teaching-learning process
5. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use
of audiovisual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in
producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the
students, teachers, and the school community.
6. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must

Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for
you to define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and
guide you in the process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher's
integration of technology in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels:
entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and
enables quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the

100
learning environment are being active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-
directed.
The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Levels of Technology Integration
and the Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To
make you understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment,
explore the TIM website and learn from the many interesting videos showing
technology integration. Go to http:/fcit. usf.edu/matrix/matrix.php

Evaluation of ICT Resources

The world wide web is 1liké an endless network of information, ever-expanding
and almost limitless. Electronic resources come in different forms like websites, web
quests, blogs, social network sites, on-line courses, a wide range of tools, and so many
forms of apps.
As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be most useful for you is the ability
not only to search for information but to make decisions, as to which ones you will take
and use and which ones you will put aside, Aim to develop your skills in evaluating
internet resources. You will be able to choose the best resources that will help you
attain your teaching-learning objectives.
Below is a set of criteria which you can use to evaluate resources
1. Accuracy. The resource material comes from a reliable source and 1S

accurate, free from error and is up-to-date.
2. Appropriateness. The resource is grade/level-appropriate. The content
matches what is needed by the teacher.
3. Clarity. The resource clearly addresses the instructional goals in mind.
4. Completeness. The content is complete. It has all the information needed to
be able to use them.
5. Motivation. The resource is engaging and rewarding to learners. It will
encourage the active participation of the learners.
6. Organization. The resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which
steps should be taken. The procedures or processes flow smoothly.

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented
speed at which technology is evolving has disrupted many vital processes that involve
how we run production, businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The
following Technology trends have huge potential to transform the ways we teach and
learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resources (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for
teaching and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is

102
an abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps,

streaming videos, multimedia apps, podcasts, and many others. They can have a
significant impact on education as they are made available and easily accessible in the
internet. Be sure to explore them to help you work on this episode
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the' way we interact, learn
about things and share information. Sites and apps such as facebook, twitter,
Instagram provide a virtual venue for teachers and learners to work together interact
among themselves and with other classrooms locally and globally
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also
one who sends the most number of text messages per day. This indicates the high
number of mobile device users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool by
allowing teachers and students more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the
classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. loT is a system of computing mechanisms that become
built-in into many everyday things, that allow sending and receiving data through the
internet. A lot of things have turned "smart." We have smart cars that can navigate on
its own. Smart houses that monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface
with the internet. Watches that send our vital signs to our doctors. All of these
development can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when
computers or machine simulate thinking and behaviors of humans such as talking,
learning and solving problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google
assistant are near samples of Al. Among others, uses of Al in education can be in the
areas of gamification and adaptive instruction for learners with special needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by

a computer program that allows a person to visit and experience the environment
virtually. In AR, images from computer programs interlay with the actual views of the
real-word, resulting in an extended, expanded, or altered view of a real-world
environment. In education, among others, VR and AR programs and apps allow more
exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that add to the motivation and
engagement of learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transactions are done
electronically, and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and
stored. The challenge is how to make sense of this data, through analytics and
research, possibly answer pertinent questions about how to make teaching and learning
most effective.

103
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites.
Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as
kindergarten. Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary programs introduce
and hone the skills of young learners. Coding helps learners develop novel ways of
exploring and trying out ideas, especially when done with problem or project-based
learning approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly
technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, It is crucial to ensure
that human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology. Ethical
practices that protect the rights of every person need to be upheld.

Massive Open On-line Courses

Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCs) are online courses open to a big group
of people. Below are the basic information about MOOCS. Let us focus on each word:
Massive
 MOOCs are on-line courses designed for large number of participants,
usually larger than the number of students that can fit a regular
classroom. There can be hundreds or even be a thousand students or
more.
Open
 There is mostly freedom of place, pace and time.
 Courses can be accessed by anyone anywhere as long as they have
internet connection
 Courses are open to everyone without entry qualifications.
 Some courses are for free.
Online
 All aspects of the course are delivered online.
Course
The MOOC course offers a full course experience including
 Educational content. May include video, audio, text, games, simulations, social
media and animation
 Facilitation interaction among peers. Builds a learning community through
opportunities to interact
 Some interaction with the teacher or academic staff
 Activities/tasks, tests, including feedback. Participants are provided with some
feedback mechanism. Can be automatically generated like quizzes, feedback
from peers or the teacher.
 Some kind of (non-formal) recognition options. It includes some kind of
recognition like badges or certificate of completion. A formal certificate is
optional and most likely has to be paid for.
 A study guide/syllabus. This includes instructions as to how you may learn from
the materials and interactions presented.

ASSESSTMENT FOR LEARNING AND

ASSESSTMENT)

 demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of formative assessment, and
 explain the importance of formative assessment.
 In Outcome-based Teaching-Learning/Competency-based Teaching/Teaching by

 Objective, we ensure that the intended outcome/competency/objective is
attained at the end of the lesson and so while we are still in the process of
teaching we do check learners' understanding and progress.
 If we find out that the learners failed to understand prerequisite knowledge and
skills, we reteach until learners master them. This is called FORMATIVE
assessment, assessment while the learners are being formed or taught. It is
assessment in the midst of instruction.
 Formative assessment is also referred to as assessment for learning. Assessment
for learning simply means we do assessment to ensure learning.
 We do not wait for the end of the lesson to find out if learners understood the
lesson or not because if it is only at the end of the lesson that we discover that
the learners did not understand the lesson, we have wasted so much time and
energy teaching presuming that everything was clear, only to find out at the end
of the lesson that the learners did not understand the lesson at all. This means
that we have to reteach from the very beginning, something that we could have
saved ourselves from doing had we given time to find out if the lesson was
understood while still teaching.
 Assessment for learning encourages peer assessment.

ACTIVITY 3.1 PRACTICES (SELF-ASSESSMENT)

School: _________________________

 demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of self-assessment; and
 explain the importance of self-assessment
 Assessment as learning means assessment is a way of learning.

 It is the use of an ongoing self-assessment by the learners in order to monitor
their own learning.
 This is manifested when learners reflect on their own learning and make
necessary adjustments so that they achieve deeper understanding.
 Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own
learning.
 It requires students to ask questions about their learning.
 It provides ways for students to use formal and informal feedback and self-
assessment to help them understand the next steps in learning
 It encourages self-assessment and reflection.
Observe a class and find out practices that reflect assessment as learning.
Record your observations.

ACTIVITY 13.2 OBSERVING THE USE OF TRADITIONAL TOOLS

__________________________

 Critique traditional assessment tools and tasks for learning in the context of
established guidelines on test construction
 Traditional assessment tools are also called paper-and-pencil tests.

 Traditional assessment tools usually measure learning in the cognitive domain.
 Traditional or paper-and-pencil tests can be classified either as selected-response
tests or constructed-response/supply type of tests.
 Common examples of selected -response type of tests are alternate response
test (True-False, yes-no), multiple choice and matching type of test.
 Common examples of constructed-response type of test are short answer,
problem solving and essay
 Observe classes and pay particular attention to the assessment tool used by the
teacher.
 With teacher's permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.

OBSERVING USE OF NON-TRADITIONAL

ACTIVITY 13.3 ASSESSMENT TOOLS AND SCORING RUBIRICS


 Evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics

 There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment
tools.
 Authentic/non-traditional /alternative assessment tools measure learning
outcomes like performance and product.
 These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric.
 A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student's work that includes descriptions
of levels of performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013)
 The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.
 There are two types of rubrics analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe
work on each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work
as a whole.
 For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
 For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.
 A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or
performance is rated, the rating scale and a description of the levels of
performance.
 Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the
assessment tool used by the teacher.
 With teacher's permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.
 Study the assessment tool then accomplish Observation Sheet.
 Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?
 Which type of rubric did the Resource teacher use analytic or holistic?

LEARNING EPISODE 14
THE TEACHER AS A PERSON AND AS A
PROFESSIONAL

 describe the personal qualities and competences of effective classroom teachers;
 enumerate the professional characteristics of practicing teachers observed as
based on the professional standards and code of ethics for the profession.
"My Teacher, My Hero" was a banner during the World Teachers' Day celebration
in the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real heroes? What do you
think? Why?
My answer is YES! Here are my reasons.
Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers

To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve the
country just like any other hero. To be a teacher requires a lot of personal and
professional qualities. These qualities make an excellent Filipino teacher an exceptional
professional.
First, the teacher must have innate qualities or attributes that are exemplary and
are fitted to be teachers. These are natural tendencies or a person. Here are some of
the qualities and attributes that distinctly characterize a teacher.

152
Personal Qualities of Teachers and the Descriptors

Personal Qualities What the teacher IS and DOES
Lives with dignity that This teacher is honest, has integrity, self-respect and self-
exemplifies self-respect, discipline. Likewise, respected by students, peers and the
integrity and self community.
discipline
Takes care of one's This teacher is physically, emotionally and mentally

physical, emotional and healthy. Clean and neat, dresses appropriately and
mental well-being pleasant in words and in action.
Lives a life inspired by This teacher behaves according to the personal spiritual
spiritual principles and beliefs that are not contrary to the norms, mores and
beliefs tradition of the community.
Exhibits deep knowledge This teacher is mentally alert, makes correct decision,
and understanding across intelligent to be able to acquire new knowledge, skills and
disciplines values needed in order to teach. She/he has the ability to
learn new things, re-learn old knowledge in new ways, and
un-learn knowledge, skills and values that are no longer
applicable to the current times.
Recognizes own strength This teacher sets high goals for himself/herself, but
with humility remains humble and willing to share success. He/She is
confident of doing task but does not consider self to be
better than others all the time.
Perseveres in challenging This teacher is calm in the midst of chaos, remains

situation steadfast under pressure, does not easily give up and
adjusts to different situations.
Demonstrates a natural This teacher volunteers tasks for others, always willing to
action to work together share, extends help willingly, accepts responsibility,
with others tolerant of other people, and gives up time for the group.
Not everyone has these qualities, hence not everyone can be a good teacher. As the old saying
goes: “teachers are born but good teachers are both born and made”
Professional Competences of Filipino Teachers
Going to teacher training institutions and earning a teaching degree mean

developing a professional teacher like you. You can only become a professional teacher
if you earn a degree to teach in either elementary level or high school level. You should
also earn a license to teach by passing a licensure examination for teachers. While
studying in college you are learning the ropes of becoming a professional teacher. You

153
learn the content courses including the major or specialization and the professional
courses including the pedagogy courses. Your professional courses include experiential
learning courses that include Field Study 1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship.
These are important in your preparation to become professional teachers.
So what are the professional competencies that every teacher should have? You
will find these in the matrix that follow.
Professional Competencies of Filipino Teachers

Professional Competencies What the teacher DOES
Abides by the code of ethics for the This teacher practices the rules and conduct
profession of professional teachers.

Serves beyond the call of duty This teacher does task and works even
beyond the official time when needed.
So, it is not easy to become a professional teacher. The demand is great. A

qualified professional teacher then is like a HERO.
Now you are ready to identify if the enumerated characteristics are found among
the teachers you are going to observe.

154
There are two observation activities in this Episode. Activity l will identify the
Personal Characteristics of the Teacher and Activity 2 will identify the Professional
Competencies of the Teacher.

TEACHER QUALITY: DEVELOPING A GLOCAL
TEACHER OF THE 21ST CENTURY
 describe the personal qualities and competencies of a glocal classroom teachers

of the 21st century; and
 design a learner-centered classroom for the 21s century learners with learning
spaces that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT.
FILIPIN0 GLOCAL TEACHER

A survey of the ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are three
major responsibilities of teachers. These are (1) Actual 'Teaching. (2) Management of
Learning and (3) Administrative Work.
While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world, in our
country, teaching in the public schools requires six hours of actual teaching that
includes administrative as management of learning per day. The work such
management of learning. Two hours of the working day is allotted to administrative
work such as scoring and recording learners outputs, making reports, filling forms,
preparing for the next day's activity and performing other administrative tasks. The
previous Episode on the teacher, reminded us of the qualities and competencies
mentioned earlier. The teacher should be multi-literate, multi-cultural, multi-talented,
innovative and creative. The future Filipino like you shall act locally but think globally.
"Teach local, reach global" means that the teacher brings diverse experiences in
the classroom with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global society.
What
in the local communities impacts the larger community, As global citizens, the work
begins, where the teachers are, thus a "glocal" teacher.
Towards Quality Glocal Teachers

Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in the
21" century education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2) Financial,
economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, and (4) Civic and Health Literacy which
require:

159
1. Learning and Innovative skills.

2. Information, Media and Technology Skills
3. Life and Career Skills
More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can demonstrate
exemplary mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions relative to the following
characteristics:
1. Understands one's own cultural identify and rootedness
2. Knows and integrates global dimensions in the subject area
3. Engages learners in the learning processes
4. Uses real life local and global examples
5. Values the inputs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners
6. Models social responsibilities in local and global content
7. Encourages learners to find appropriate actions to improve local and global the
conditions, and
8. Creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations.
The Challenges of the Quality Glocal Teachers for the 21st Century
One of the major challenges of quality teachers 1s to "create a learning

environment that encourages creativity and innovation among learners. Win 1, comes
the management of learning in such environment. These are required skills for a global
teacher.
Majority of the current classrooms provide leaning spaces that can hardly
prepare the 21st century learners for the development of the 21st century skills.
Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator of
learning. Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work on
interdisciplinary projects that cover several subject areas. Learning is no longer for
memorizing and recalling of information but on learning how to learn. Thus classroom
designs should respond to the 21 st century learning. More so, quality teachers should
be changing their roles from teaching in isolation to co-teaching, team teaching and
collaboration with students and peers.
A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well as the
management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to address the
new roles or teachers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the six elements
or a new classroom:
1. Flexibility of furniture and space
2. Collaborative learning
3. Facilitation of movement
4. Foster creativity

160
5. Use of technology
6. Provision of light and bright colors
With the classroom structure, a quality teacher should be able to manage

learning under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher should use effective
classroom management strategies that will ensure productive learning.
Quality teachers should manage learning in an enhanced classroom by seeing it
to it that learners are:
 organized,
 orderly,
 focused,
 attentive,
 on task, and
 are learning.
This will take much of your skill, experience and patience. The two important
factors that may affect learning management are the use of technology and the
diversity of learners.
