AN OBSERVATION GUIDE FOR THE LEARNER’S CHARACTERISTICS
Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation

is
report on the provided space. Your teacher may also recommend another
observation checklist if a more detailed observation is preferred.
Th
Physical
1. Observe their gross motor skills. How they carry themselves. How they
sh
move, walk, run go up the stairs, etc.

As I observed most of the students carry themselves safely, specially
Gadgaran Integrated School made up mostly of stairs, they go to stairs
slowly and they go down with their peers but there are some students who
keeps on running and going down quickly.
2. Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth?
They are all smooth they are very precise in every activity they always think
before . doing anything but these all are takes time to make, they are not
always considerate of time because they always very precise.
3. How about their fine motor skills? Writing, drawing, etc.
Grade 7 in my case are still on refinement some of them cant make to have
a neat and organized writing but Mostly in the students are prepared and
write correctly the every letters in alphabet.

Social
1. Describe how they interact with teachers and other adults.
The thing I like almost to the students in gadgaran is they are all polite to
their students. They always greet the students and student teachers with
matching wear of their beautiful smile. All of them are well friendly and
respectful it only show their holistic development are well good.
2. Note how they also interact with peers. What do they talk about? What
are their concerns?
In every students they had a peer group in a school. The girls is always
separate peers from group. We cannot take bullying in every rooms instead
we should minimize it. They always keep talking about games and the lesson
they had yesterday, their concern always is the break time and how they
should escape and walk outside the school.
Emotional
1. Describe the emotional disposition or temperament of the learners.
(happy, sad, easily cries, mood-shifts)
They are always happy, happy in terms even while discussing they are
keep on laughing. They are the type of students who will not problem
m
about tommorow they are always focus on what they had on the present.
er as
Very optimist they never see the negative effect of what they are doing.
co
2. How do they express their wants/needs? Can they wait?
eH w
No, most of them always want an attention coming from their teachers. If
o.
one participate and didn’t get the attention of the teacher he/she will
rs e
keep on shouting to get an attention. He/she always want to be have the
ou urc
attention of his/her parents.

3. How do they handle frustrations?
Frustration in their case is not yet serious, Yes they will be frustrated but
o
this frustation will not last for a long period of time, sometimes a minutes
aC s
will enough to handle it. Very childish but this is good.

vi re
4. Describe their level of confidence as shown in their behavior. Are they

self-conscious?
Confidence level 100 % every time they are talking with their peers, and
y
playing but during reporting and discussion this confidence level are
ed d
diminish. They talk in front of class shyly, they are not looking to the eyes
ar stu
of his/her classmates, gestures are observed and extra movements are

very shown. Yes, they are self conscious they are aware on what
happening on their school and to their environment.
is
Cognitive
Th
1. Describe their ability to use words to communicate their ideas. Note their
language proficiency.
They clearly communicate using the language of instruction, they used
sh
words that very familiar to them. They can formulate sentences that can
be used for effective communication but still there are some students who
had a language barrier since they prefer talking tagalog than english.
Most of them had the proficiency in English they used this language
during their reporting and discussion.
2. Describe how they figure out things. Do they comprehend easily? Look for
evidence of their thinking skills.
Comprehension with these students are not yet mastered. There are some
question which is used context clues that answerable in the board still
they cant figure out the answer. In terms of reading yes they are fast but
comprehension are lacking, they just like an elementary reciting a poem.
3. Were their opportunities for problem solving? Describe how did they show
problem solving abilities.
7
More boys in the class are math wizard than the girls. They had the
arithmetic skills can answer problem using the dictation method. All of
them are participating in board work activity. Some of the students are
not coping up but in the help of teachers a guidance can be given.
LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT MATRIX
Record the data you gathered about the learner’s characteristics and
needs in this matrix. This will allow you to compare the characteristics and
needs of learners at different levels. The items under each domain are by no
means exhaustive. These are just sample indicators. You may add other
aspects which you may have observed.

Your Analysis

you observed. Based on these characteristics, think of implications for the
teacher.

Your Reflections
1. While you were observing the learners, What did you recall in your own
experiences when you were their age? What similarities or differences do
you have with the learners you observed
As comparing my previous experiences when I was in their age,

similarities in terms
m
er as
Of behavior and gestures at my age. But during that time I am very
precise and accurate every time we had an reporting. I prepared well
co
before that reporting. eH w

2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How
rs e
did she/he help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional,
ou urc
social, cognitive)? How did it affect you?
This teacher is my advisory class in Grade 6 class. She’s one the reason
o
why I pursue this profession. She mainly believe that I can able to do
aC s
things that for me is impossible. She believed that every students had
vi re
their very own strength, the thing that we can do is to find it. She feed me
knowledge that until I still apply in my every day life. Besides of this She

is not come from my community but still she had cared for us.

Taught me ideas which I apply every day. Concepts and ideas which is
very applicable in real life situation.
3. Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this guide you as
a future teacher?
It always remind me the theory of Multiple Intelligence where this theory

believed that every students can be excel in different platforms. This
theory will always help me to understand every students that they always
differ in interest and ideas.

As a teacher we should also aware of our students specially on what area
they excel, we should also offer activities which
varied on the types of learners inside the school. As a teacher also we should
properly facilitate and enhanced on what intelligence they had. We are just a
mentor for them.
