Write your Narrative Report on Domain 3 Diversity of Learners Discussion/Lecture

On the day of our deployment, we have observed the learners of Mr. Samuel T. Fallorina
in his designated classroom in Mapeh of Grade 7 – Descartes from Bautista National High
School. At the beginning of the class. Mr. Samuel introduced us in his class before he starts the
discussion. While he is introducing us, we observed the students is well mannered as they
welcome us in their class, the room is clean, have good lighting, the chair is well arranged and
other materials display. Mr. Samuel discuss the paper waving in class, all the learners are listening
while he is demonstrating the procedure, and saw some of them are participating and cooperating
with what the teacher wants them to do. However, there are some of class are not participating to
the said of discussion because they seem distracted from their surroundings especially us. The
discussion was good, informative and the delivery of the lesson was clear as we listen to his
discussion, I remembered he said quotes “arts is a product of human resource” means that it
involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional
power, or conceptual ideas. At the end of the class, some students did not finish their art cause of
shortage of time so they will continue on the next day of their class, they clean as they go the
room before they take lunch.

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

1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students interact with one another and with
the teacher. Are there groups that interact more with the teacher than others?
Based on what I observed, the interaction between each other including the teacher
are present. The students interact with their classmates when they have activities. They also
interact with each other when they have their own business aside from the lesson discussion
with the teacher during their class.

2. Observe the learner’s behavior during the conduct of the class. How do they behave and interact
differently?
Yes, the students who are seating in front and at the back they interact differently.
Those who are seating in front are the students who are more participative compare to those
who are at the back maybe because the teacher attention is more focus to those who are in
front of the row.

Based on what I observed, the learners usually compete with each other. But there
was also an instance that they have cooperation because other learner’s barrowing a
material to their peers.

4. Who among the students participated actively? Who among them asked most for help?

Based on what I observed the students who are in seated in front are those group of
students who participate actively, while those who are seating at the back but wants to
participate in the discussion, they are the students who ask help most of their activity.

When a learner is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the classmates try to help him? Or do they raise hand,

Based on our observation during deployment on October 12, 2022, there’s no

interaction made during the class hour since they do an activity called paper waving because
during that day the teacher demonstrate the procedure and the students observing how the
teacher doing the paper waving but some students ask a question and help to their activity.

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?
Based on what I observed, there’s no students interact violent in front or at the back, they
are focus doing their activity but sometimes there is a student’s barrowing a material to his/her
classmate.

How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual differences of
the students in a classroom?
The teacher influences the class interaction considering the individual differences of the
students by manifesting a fairly values inside the classroom. The teacher doesn’t discourage his
students whenever responding to their question to him.

Reflect

1. How did you feel as you observed in the classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness
or unity among the learners, and between the teacher and the learners?
While I am seating at the back of the classroom, observing, watching the
learners, I feel an optimistic feeling that as if I am already a teacher of them. I sense
the oneness and unity among the learners and the teacher because the learners unite
positively to their teacher, when their teacher demonstrate the instruction, they respond
it instantly without any hesitation and qualm to themselves.

2. In the future, how would you want the learners in your classroom to interact? How
will you, make it happen?
In the future, I want my learners in my classroom interaction to be very
interactive and participative wherein the learners could express their ideas in varied
modes and participate actively in every classroom activity.

Reflect

1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your experiences when you were at their age? What similarities
or differences do you have with the learners you observed?

While I’m observing the learners, I remembered those days when I was at their
age. There’s a lot of similarities and differences since it’s pandemic. The similarities are
playing with classmate, sometimes not listening to the teacher etc. the difference is
when I was a child, when I got warned by the teacher, I immediately behave and the
situation is strict because of the pandemic.

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 that I cannot forget is my teacher in Math when I was still in my
high school. I cannot forget him because of my hair. I don’t know why he is mad to our
gender. I’m really disappointed that time. It really affects me emotional, social because
of that happened I don’t see myself energetic at class.

3. Share your other insights here.

Children are still developing and constructing knowledge so in terms of
teaching, we should discuss topics that are relevant or appropriate to their cognitive
level. This learning will be applied to my teaching profession someday in facilitating
learning of the children soon I will become a teacher.
