2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How
did the teacher help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional,
social and cognitive)? How did it affect you?

Teacher plays a crucial role in every student’s life. They develop us holistically from
physical, emotional, social and cognitive aspect. Each one of us has their own favorite teachers
and we cannot forget them for two reasons. One is that they contribute positive teaching
while the other one brought a negative teaching and learning experience.

During my junior high school days, one of the most negative learning experiences I’ve
encountered is that when our teacher gets mad and done something recklessly. I still remember
clearly how she lifts her arms just to make me smell her disgusting armpit. Funny how you realize
that moment but that is one of the most disgusting classroom situations happened in my life. As
a result, it demotivates me to go to school and that changes me as a learner. Before, I am
actively participative during class discussion, enjoying the group tasks and inspired to attend
different subjects. However, when that happened, I’m afraid of taking class, have a low self-
esteem, and feel discourage to attend classes. It’s funny to think that instead of your teacher
will be the one who motivates you to attend classes turned to be the reason of your
demotivation. Despite of what happened, I am still grateful to have a teacher like her because
she imparts her knowledge and skills which molded me to become a better person today. - REXIE
Reading the question the teacher that pop up to my mind was my mother. She is a teacher;
I might say that she is the kind of teacher who is committed and compassionate to teaching
profession itself and to her learners. She was able to cater the needs of her students even if it
takes sacrificing her time to us. The care she gave to her learners is more than what she can
give us. Being the youngest I need her attention and guidance even just during that time that I
patiently wait but she chose not to. Before it was hard for me, but I always choose to
understand the reason why it is like that. And as time goes by, what this teacher wants I to learn
was to stand and be able to figure everything out on my own. Because everything was on my own,
I have learned to control my emotions, the problems that I encountered I was able to provide
solutions for it, and I was able to tell whenever I am okay and when I am not. Sadly, it was hard
for me to socialize, because I always question why they are befriending me, I don’t know but it’s
like a gut feeling. What I have experience will always have an impact to what I am now, I am
blessed that I was guided to the right path and continuously working on to be a better person.
THIELA

My most favorite teacher I cannot forget, and she is my sister by heart now that I am
graduated from High School. My Ate Ma’am is my ideal teacher and I want to be like her when
the time comes that I will be teaching, she is one of the people who believes me that I will
achieve my dreams in life and push me not to stop aiming high because she saw my potentials
and strength. Every time I am not ok emotionally due to personal reason, I just text her Ate
Ma’am I am not ok after a minute she will call me or text me and asking what is happening to
me and she lets me share it to her even though she has her own family to attend, she always
consoles and comfort me. And when I need help in academics, she always helps me and guide
what are the necessary things that I need to do. And her word of wisdom that I will never
forget, that when the time comes that I already teaching I need to know every story of my
students, because students’ behavior is the reflection of the things that is happening inside
their home. And as much as possible I need to visit my student’s environment and their family
because that where I can see the true character of my students. CINDY

Answer the following question:

1. Based on the interview, what home environment factors do you think


contribute to the development of the learner and affect his/her
learning? Briefly discuss the factors you have cited.
A home environment that contributes to the development of a learner is a place
that is safe, nurturing and supportive environment. When a learner is provided with better
learning environment that is free from any inconveniences, and have a supportive support
system, hence the child will develop at its best. She or he will likely to move beyond its
limits with the proper guidance of the parents, teachers, friends and others who
surrounded by him or her. What affect his or her learning is environments that is not
safe, unsupportive, and have a lot of distractions around the place. When a learner does
not have someone whom they can trust and rely on, it will be difficult for them to move
beyond learning because support system is very important especially at this time of
pandemic, where child can share his or her emotions and understands their situations.
Another factor that affects student’s learning is distractions. This includes internal and
external noises such as loud music, loud cars, family problems, etc. Thus, providing better
learning environment for students is a must for them to successfully enhance learning, and
develops one’s skills and abilities.

Activity 3: Teacher-guided activities/practices that address learners’ gender,


needs, strengths, interests and experiences. (Individual Activity)

Describe the characteristics of the Learners in terms of age, gender, interests,


social and cultural diversity.

The age range of the learners in the video link I think is 9-11. In the video we can see that
somehow the number of boys and girls are equal. The social and cultural diversity was
demonstrated positively wherein the learners and teacher can interact with each other and
respects each other’s differences.

Describe the interaction that transpires in the classroom.

The interaction of the pupils with one another and towards the teacher was actively
and opens with the suggestion of the group members, and the pupils easily understand the
rules of the teacher for the group activity maybe because the teacher created a good
relationship to the students. And everyone was given equal opportunity to interact with each
other that would also foster good camaraderie in the classroom.
Interview a resource teacher about the principles and practices that he/she uses in
dealing with diversity in the classroom as well as the interaction of the pupils outside
the classroom.

Modeling the use of gender sensitive language in the classroom - Meldin May N. Perez

Using gender fair-language – Sir Patrick Gerard Paulino

Inclusive education is the strategy that I use. This provides equal opportunities to a diverse
group of learners. – Ma-am Aylen Penafiel

5. Study the impact of individual differences on learners’ interactions.

Inside the classroom there are more than 45 different stories, sometimes this
different story hinders the learners to interact with one another, maybe they have
different culture, beliefs, traditions, and what are the environment they came from. Because
of these differences some students create a group that they know they have similarities in
some aspect, and they will get along inside and outside the classroom, but sometimes they
tend to set a boundary that leads to awkwardness to other students who are not like them
within the group. Despite the differences of the learners if the teacher starts the
discussion lively the learners actively participated, it is the teacher’s role to use different
learning materials and teaching strategies to encourage the learners to actively participate in
the discussion. The teacher should know how to remove the wall build because of individual
differences, she would know how would she fosters an learning environment where learner
can interact no matter how different they believe they are, because they are all unique and
beautiful in their own way and they deserve a learning environment where they can grow and
develop.

An Observation Guide for The Learners’ Characteristics

1. How would you describe the interaction in the classroom as shown in the
video? Do they interact with one another and with the teacher?
Both teacher and students have an interactive discussion since the teacher
R provides a stimulating classroom and everyone have a positive relationship
towards each other since students are more likely to participate actively in class
E
and challenge themselves academically. Also, I observed that the teacher uses
X like a classroom reminder for the students to seat properly, listen and
collaborate with the group. Whenever the teacher point that on the board, that
I
means students are not following the rules. This classroom reminder or rules is
E used to discipline the students and manage the classroom effectively.

I was happy to see that there is a continuous learner and teacher interaction
from the beginning of the video until the end. Learners were able to
T
comfortably interact with one another wherein it was because of how the
H teacher starts the lesson and how he manages the class through setting rules
that was being reminded to the class whenever there is someone who does not
I
follow. The learners actively participate in the discussion that makes the demo
E teaching more interactive and student centered and the learners were also able
to share their learning to their co-learner where it helps them to socialize with
L
each other. Lastly, teacher always gives the learner have an equal opportunity
A to talk and ensure that he have and effective teaching strategies.

In the video that provided to us, the pupils were actively participated from
the start of the opening prayer to classroom rules, group tasked presentation
C
until they have an individual tasked. They interacted with their group mates
I sharing their ideas and thoughts about the group activity, and the pupils
shared their answer from the question that was given by their teacher and
N
when the teacher asked the students who are willing to share their composed
D song almost 85% percent of the classed raised their hand.

Y
2. Observe the learners seated in front and at the back of the classroom. How
do they behave and interact? Were those seated in front most active than
those seated at the back?

R
I observe in the video during their class discussion that students seated in front
E performs actively, participative and listen attentively to the teacher’s discussion
on the other hand, those students seated at the back are noisy and sometimes
X does not listen while the teacher is discussing so the teacher call the attention
I through calling the name of that student who is not properly behave.

I noticed in the video that the learners were disciplined, they follow the rules
T
given by their teacher for example, whenever they know the answer they will
H raise their hand rather than shouting the answers on their seat, which was
properly shown in the video. Even though they were given equal opportunity to
I
talk and share their answers, still the learners seated in front were more active
E than those who seated at the back. It was a challenged because the teacher
was only one and he needs to handle a big class but at the end I can say that
L
almost all of the learners participated and are willing to learn.
A

As I observed on the two videos that was given, the learners are behaving
properly because before the teacher reminds the pupils of the classroom rules
and the student are the one who recited the rules that when the teacher start
the lesson the pupils need to silent and listen properly. As I saw in the video
C students that was seated at front are always raised their hand when the
teacher gave question to the class, but the teacher does not only recognize the
I
students at the front but she also calling the student at the back part for them
N to actively involved in the discussion.one who recited the rules that when the
teacher start the lesson the pupils need to silent and listen properly. As I saw
D
in the video students that was seated at front are always raised their hand
Y when the teacher gave question to the class, but the teacher does not only
recognize the students at the front but she also calling the student at the back
part for them to actively involved in the discussion.
3. During the teaching-learning process, how would you describe the relationship
among the learners? Do they cooperate with one another, or they compete instead?

In terms of the relationship among the learners, they collaborate and cooperate
R
with one another. This is well-observed while they are having their group
E activity. Everyone contributes their ideas, and interacts positively towards each
other and as a result, each group presented their work with confidence and
X
excellence.
I

T The teacher and the learner have a god relationship, wherein they were able to
make the learning interaction lively where they help together and work
H
collaboratively to ensure that the objectives that day will be met. The learners
I cooperate and help one another which are reflected in their group activity,
where it doesn’t show any competition among the learner; instead they are
E
enjoying the moment.
L

During the group activity each member of the group helps each other and share
C
what they understand and what they noticed from the experiment. The teacher
I said that all the members of the group are actively participating, and she called
it academic noise. As I noticed on the video, they are no competition on the class
N
and staying at BUCE I witnessed the pupils in BUCEILS are good in
D communication and they help each other.

Y
4. Who among the pupils actively participated? Do some of them ask for most
help?

Most of the students are participating actively since the teacher provides an
R engaging discussion wherein before she proceeds to the lesson proper, she shows
an illustration of two different balls; one is a soccer ball while the other one is a
E
bowling ball. The ideas which are presented by the teacher will help the students
X relate it to the topic which is force and motion. During the group activity, some
students ask their teacher about the instruction of the task and all of the rest
I
are done well by each group.
E

T
Most of the students actively participate in the discussion, namely, Stephanie,
H
Sheene. Florence, Janelle and etc, they able to make the discussion more active
I and engaging. And only few ask for help and their co-learners immediately
rescue them whenever they are asked for some help.
E

The pupils who actively participate in the discussion are Sophie, Rowena, Krissa
C
Mae, Janelle, Florence and other learners who doesn’t ask help. The pupils who
I can’t answer the lesson the teacher are the one who ask help to other pupils to
help their classmate.
N

Y
5. What transpires when the teacher asks questions to the class? Are the pupils
participating actively? What happens when a pupil cannot answer the question? Do
others raise their hands to answer or they help their classmates?

Asking questions is essential for checking if students understand the lesson and

R keeping them engaged with the task at hand. It’s crucial to the way students
receive and process information and it encourages independent and critical
E thinking. What I’ve observed from video demo teaching is that students
participate actively when teacher asks questions. When a student cannot answer
X
the question, other students raise their hands and help their classmates to
I answer the given question. Effective questioning creates for students to analyze
their own thinking, that of their peers, and their work. Also, it improves
E
speaking and thinking skills, empowers students to be confident about their
ideas, and facilitates learning through active discussion.

Questions are integral part of learning, because it is the time when you start
questioning, you will start learning. Through raising questions teachers were able
T to get the attention of the learners wherein it is crucial in their learning
process. Questions were not just question but it is something that would let the
H
student think and relate it to real life situations. But, not all questions can be
I answered immediately by the learners, some needs to ask for help but some do
answers the question after it was being read. The important part that I have
E
loved in the video was how the learner confidently answer not minding whether
L the answer was right or wrong because I can see the eagerness to learn and how
they willingly ask for help to their classmates who also helps them and make the
A
discussion easier for them.
When the teacher moved to the next part of the lesson which is the subject
integration the teacher lets the students defined the topic based on their
C observation and understanding, the pupils actively participated, half of the class
raised their hands and some pupils already answering the questions of the
I
teacher maybe they are excited to answer the question. The teacher called some
N students but when the student does not know the answer, or the thought was
lack of something the teacher asked another student to help their classmate.
D
And the pupil that was been called to help the classmate they just add some
Y words to complete the answer/thought.

Answer the following questions:

1. From the video you have watched, how did the teacher addresses diversity of
learners in his/her classroom? How did he/she leverage diversity?

The teacher addresses diversity through acknowledging, accepting and respecting


R different ideas and opinions. The teacher encourages students to question and
analyze different perspectives. When students feel that they are appreciated and
E respected, they engage more to teaching and learning process. Also, through an
interactive discussion and allowing students to work together will help them
X
discover different people’s background, culture, religion, interests, talents, etc. and
I expand their understanding about diversity. It is essential that teacher accept,
understands and respects each unique difference of the students so that they will
E also do the same way when they encountered various people not just in school but
also as they move to the field of work.

T
Teacher’s way of addressing diversity was through acceptance and respecting
H individual differences. The teachers do not teach directly instead they show how
to respect their differences. They are the role model in which they are the one
I who first accept and appreciate differences they see and through making learning
interactions they start to break the walls build because of diversity. Teachers
E together with the learners, they all work together to make differences a weapon
to a more interactive learning environment.
L

C The teacher was keen on his/her action, she lets the students to know what their

I behavior in the classroom are she just only posted the pictures on how the
students should behave and she recognized all the answers of the students its
N either right or wrong. And if there are negative comment comes from the pupil
answer it with positive response.

2. As soon-to-be teacher in the near future, what kind of teaching and learning
process will you have in your classroom considering learners’ diversity?

Every teacher has their own style of teaching. Addressing the diverse needs of the
students is kind of difficult for teachers thus knowing your student’s background,
interests, talents and abilities is a must. First of all, as a teacher, we must get to know
our students. Knowing our student’s strengths and weaknesses as well as their
interests made it easier for us to develop a teaching approach that will suit to them.
Second, communication is an important way for both teacher and students to build a
safe, comfortable learning environment wherein students can express themselves
freely without judgments and any inconveniences. Accepting, respecting and
R understanding each other’s perspectives will engage students to be confident, and
participate actively in the discussion. As a future teacher, I will incorporate teaching
E
methods or various activities such as differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning,
X etc. to cater different students as well as foster learning and development.
Differentiated instruction may mean teaching the same material to all students using a
I variety of instructional strategies, or it may require the teacher to deliver lessons at
varying levels of difficulty based on the ability of each student. We can incorporate
E differentiated instruction: learning stations wherein the teacher will provide same
material using a variety of instructional strategies, it may be in a form of poem, song,
dance or acting. This activity allows students to be group by shared interest, topic, or
ability for assignments and design lessons based on student’s learning styles. Another
teaching method is inquiry-based learning, it encourages students to ask questions and
solve a problem through the investigation process, understanding when to begin and
how to structure an inquiry activity. Also, it focuses on moving students beyond general
curiosity into the realms of critical thinking and understanding. Since we are soon-to-
be future Values Education teacher, we can incorporate here the moral dilemma since
it encourages students to think and solve problem on their own. This will help them to
analyze, achieve higher order thinking and problem-solving skills.
Inclusion, respect and acceptance no matter how different you think you are you
are always welcome to learn with us. But this kind of values were always hard to
T
give to people especially that we are still not open to some differences that is now
H present in the community. So as a future teacher I would rather not force them to
accept everything the way everyone wanted it to be instead I will let them take
I their time to fully accept each other’s differences. I will expose them to real
world situations to reality rather than making them believe to fairy tales that are
E far from the reality. In the classroom we always need to foster respect towards
one another no matter who they are, maybe we cannot fully accept them but at
L
least we should respect them. Slowly create activities that will let them interact
A with one another and will showcase their differences through that they will be able
to feel that it is okay to be different because it is who you are. Lastly, teacher
should be the first one who demonstrates what she expects from her learners,
because eventually how the teachers act will always be reflected to the learners.

C Inclusivity and respect to others despite of differences, because when the

I learner develops first the character it will be a good foundation to them, and the
other aspect of their life will follow. If all the learners know how to respect and
N accept the differences of other people it will be a hundred percent sure that we
will attain peace inside the classroom and it will create a domino effect to their
D
lives.
