My Tools
Use the activity form provided for you to document your observations.

An Observation Guide for the Learners’ Characteristics

Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation report on the
provided space.
1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note their
ages.
2. How many boys are there? How many girls?
3. Focus on their behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
4. Can the learners already work independently?
5. Describe their span of attention. Look into their listening skills and ability to
concentrate

Name of the School Observed: Estefania Montemayor National High School

Location of the School: Brgy. Ongol Ilaya Dumarao, Capiz
Date of Visit:

We are assigned to the lower section of the fourth year. The students were seemed
that their age were not appropriate to the level that they were taking of. Some seemed
mature and some appeared to be at the right age. To calculate, there are almost 22 girls in
the class and 26 boys.

The behavior of every student varies with their seatmate. If the student sitting with
boys who were noisy, the possibility that they will be influenced with such acts is big. They
cannot yet manage their own behavior because of such encouragement.

The learners cannot work independently because of their behavior of seeking

assistance with their seatmates on every work they are doing.

An Observation Guide to Classroom Visit

Be guided by these questions as you do your observation of the classroom management.
It is good to ask the teacher for additional information so you can verify your observation.
Write your notes below.

1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids,
books, students’ belongings, supplies, etc.) Describe these areas.

Yes. That involves storage of instructional materials located at the back just at
the side of the comfort room. The folders and other papers were arranged
very well.

2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room?

The procedures and rules are posted just at the side of the door. As I have read
the content of it, it is about the general rules guiding the students to make the
room clean and neat. It is also written there the daily routines that the students
should follow.

3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? (Ask the Resource
Teacher)

Yes. In every move of the teacher about making the rules and procedures in
the room, the presence of the student must also take place.

4. What are the daily routines done by the teacher (prayer, attendance, assignment
monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?

As a part of spiritual formation of every student, they do the prayer. They

recite it very well, seeking the guidance of God above. After the prayer, they do
the attendance, assignment monitor but they do not have warm-up activities.

5. Is there a sitting arrangement? What is the basis of the arrangement?

The sitting arrangement that they have is complex. Since the students-move
Is implemented on the school, the students had no permanent seats.

6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. Hoe is this managed?

In managing the noise inside the room, the teacher just tell the student to listen.
Consequently the student just stops his noise. But after a few minutes the student will
again create a noise.

7. If a learner is not following instructions or if off-task, what does the teacher do?
Describe the behavior and strategies used.

The teacher just saying: “From the class, who can help him?” and let the student take his
seat.

8. What does the teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (behavior strategies)

To reinforce the positive behavior of the student, the teacher never admire him too much
so that her other students will not get jealous. She is also avoiding that her student will
mold that their teacher has favoritism in one of the learners.

Observation notes:

The teacher Mrs. Mari Sol Jamog, was really a good teacher. She masters how to be a good
teacher as well as a good model to her students. On her teaching strategies, she make sure
that she will not step the ego of every student.

My Analysis
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners’ behavior?

The classroom organization and routines affect the learner’s behavior. By the help of
the organizations that they have, they can develop their capabilities to be a
responsible member of their group. The daily routines such as praying can develop
the children’s spiritual life to be a good citizen of the society.

2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classroom
organization and routines? What theories and principles should you have in mind?

On every decision that the teacher would choose, it has an impact on his students.
That Is indeed that the if he will decide, consultation among his students or clients
should take place first. On a design, he should consider the maturation development
and level of understanding of the learners so that they will become more
productive citizen of the society aided with scholastic motivation.

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? In
motivating students? Why were they effective?

Corporal punishment is not the answer in managing the behavior of each student but
with an integration of values and religious concept. In motivating students, the
teacher should be aware that there some limitations beyond this. Since the child
believes in the Supreme God, it is easy to discipline them because to be feared with
wrong acts is to be feared with God.

My Reflections
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade/ year level do
you see yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider for this level?
Why?

I want to teach fourth year to mold their selves in preparation to their crucial college
life. I would implement strict no cheating rule so that they can answer independently
their examinations in college life and to motivate theirselves that is applicable to the
real-life situation.

2. Make a list of rule you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose
these rules?

Strictly no cheating so that they can work independently with their selves. Second,
be neat because being neat contributes so much to learners in regard their concen-
tration while studying. Third, be friendly because friends are someone who can
Lean on when there are problems.

3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules?

Yes, the learners should be involved in making the class rules. The class is a part of
the legislative council inside the classroom, thus the teacher should seek the
help of students when making class rule but it is the obligation of the teacher to defy
what something wrong is being agreed by all.
