Discussion/Lecture

Our group was scheduled last Friday, October 15, 2021, 1:00 o’clock in the

afternoon to observe on the online class particularly to the Senior High School Grade

11 students handled by Mr. Ronan L. Mendoza.

The teacher starts the class by formally greeting them, and he started to share

his presentation. While presenting the PowerPoint, the teacher asked the students if

they still remember their previous lesson on their previous year about their topic which

is the Physical Education and Health, some students actively share their ideas about

the topic. The teacher continued to discussed and explained the meaning of Physical

Fitness, the two components of Physical fitness which is the Skill-Related Fitness

(SRF) and Health-Related Fitness (HRF), while discussing the two components he

asked the students to give him an example of an activity which is being done in every

components, many students are clicking the raise hand button to answer the question.

The discussion on this part is productive because a lot of students actively

participating and sharing their ideas. They also tackled the Body Mass Index (BMI), he

explained the formula and classifications, and he gave example on how to compute

the BMI. He also explained the proper etiquette and safety in using the facilities and

equipment. As I observed, the strategy used by the teacher is efficient because he was

able to make the class productive, and engaged the students to the teaching and

learning process. Overall, the discussion is great and went well.
 Activity 3– Distinctness of a Learner in
FIELD STUDY 1
a Diverse Classroom

Read the following carefully before you begin to observe a virtual class. Then write your observation report
on the space provided.

During a virtual class:

1. How much interaction is there in the virtual classroom? Describe how the students interact with one
another and with the teacher virtually. Are there groups that interact more with the teacher than
others?
Since the Grade 11 students are actively participating in the class, there’s a lot of
interaction happening in the virtual classroom. The students interact with one another and with
the teacher virtually by acknowledging all of them and giving them the opportunity to express
themselves, share their ideas and knowledge properly. There are no groups that interact more
because everyone are cooperating, participating and listening attentively.

2. Observe the learner’s behavior during the conduct of the online class. How do they behave and interact
differently?

As I observed during the online class, the students/learners behaved properly and they are
following the netiquette guidelines during the conduct of online classes. For example, by clicking the raise
hand button when the teacher ask question, and they don’t do things that may interrupt the class they just
listen attentively, ask questions politely, and participate actively.

3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with or compete against each
other?

During the online class since the teacher did not give group activity, I can’t say that they

cooperating and interacting with each other. But the overall discussion went well because everyone is

participating to the teacher. And I can say that during my observation on their class they are not

competing with each other. They are just listening to their classmate’s ideas, and give some insights too.

4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most help?

The students that participating actively in the class are Mr. Carlos Manangan and Mr. Arkin
Jay Zapanta and no one is asking for help.

5. When the teacher is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the classmates try to help
him? Or do they click raise hand button, so that the teacher will call them instead?

When the teacher asked questions he does not call his student’s name to answer the
questions, so everyone that knows what is being asked by the teacher, the students clicked the raise
hand button instead so that the teacher will acknowledged or recognized them.

Analyze

Answer the following questions:

Identify the person who play the key roles in the relationships and interactions
in a virtual classroom. What roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to
be the leader, a mascot/joker, an attention seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/
pessimist?
In terms of relationships and interactions in a virtual classroom, I can say that all
of them is having a good relationship and interaction with each other. The person who
play the key roles in the virtual classroom is the teacher, because he was the one
explaining and demonstrating the lesson, the facilitator and the ones who contributing a
positive learning experience for students.

How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual
differences of the students in a virtual classroom?

The teacher influenced the class interaction considering the individual differences
of the learners in a virtual classroom by manifesting a fairly values and not having
biases, by acknowledging and listening to the learners, and providing the students’
needs and helping them to cope to this new normal classroom setting.

Reflect

1. How did you feel as you observe the virtual classroom? Did you feel a
sense of oneness or unity among the learners and in between the
teacher and the learners in a new normal classroom setting?
During the virtual class/observation, since we are in a new
normal classroom setting I can feel the difficulties that all the
teachers and students facing right now. I also feel the sense of
oneness and unity among the learners because I can see their
eagerness to strive hard so that they can learn the certain topic.
And also the unity among the teacher and the learners because
unity implies uniformity and harmony and the class I observed
portray this characteristic.

2. In the future, how would you want the learners in your virtual
classroom to interact? How will you, make it happen?

In the future, I want my students to interact in a way that they will

feel no tension at all. I want them to express their ideas freely and
what they feel in varied modes and in a manner that they will not
offend their other classmates. I will make this happen by briefing them
and by letting they know the essence of harmony in the classroom and
making them realize that we will all benefit if we practice this type of
interaction. As a future teacher, the facilitator of the learning process, I
will focus on the needs, preferences and interests of the learners so
that they can interact and participate actively in every activities.

1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your experiences when you were their age?
What similarities of differences do you have with the learners you observed?
Yes, because like them we give our full attention to what the teacher speaking
about, and we are always listening attentively, so that we can create a productive and
interactive class.

2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did she/he or not help
you with your needs (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive)? How did it affect you?
The teacher I cannot forget is my MAPEH teacher and coach in volleyball in high
school, because she is always there giving brilliant advices on what to do when I am distracted
in many aspects, she is always there guiding me in how to seek solution to my problems. She
is very kind-hearted, she teaches well in the class. She helped me gained my self-confidence.
When it comes to physical and cognitive development, she was the one who helped developed
and improved my skills, I was part of school volleyball team because of her. I am always
thankful to her for believing to my capabilities as a student and a student-athlete.

3. Share your other insights here.

After observing to their class and paying attention to the learnings, the difference of their
abilities and capabilities is noticeable. The use of technology is an amazing tool to reach diverse
learners. In today’s ever changing world, students being aware of technology and being able to use
efficiently are necessary skills.
