MODULE 1: CONCEPTS OF TEACHING

1. 10-item quiz
2. Answer the activity below:
My Ideas About Teaching

What I Know about Teaching (Your Teaching is a no joke job whether

thoughts before reading the module) you’re a professional teacher or just a
parent to your child. Teaching is a
great responsibility that it’s hard to fill.
But if you are passionate and
motivated enough, this job seems
enjoyable and the time you spend
feels light and fast.

What I Want To Know about Teaching What is the best technique for us
(The questions you had before reading student-teacher to face challenges in
the module) this field. What is a must do for us to
work great?

What I Learned about Teaching (The new Teaching style or technique will
ideas or answers you found after reading change and can change over time as
the module) teachers learn everytime from their
journey and experiences, so they
ought to change their way in teaching
based on the current situation and
helping them to pass every challenges
in the most effective way.
3. Compare the characteristics of a ‘mountain’ to the qualities of a teacher.

Mountain and a teacher is both wonders and treasure of the world. A mountain is firmly
standing against all disaster, and so is a teacher who persevere in all odds in life. They can be
both a symbol of power as the mountain domain a place and a teacher who lead the class. In
mountains you will see a healthy habitat where trees and animals grow, and for the teacher you
will see successful students by that teacher’s care and love.

4. Give practical ways on how a good teacher can apply these personal qualities and
attitudes– honest, enthusiastic, caring, role model, fair, friendly, respectful, dedicated,
and creative – in the classroom.

Personal Quality/Attitude of a Good How the Teacher Applies These

Teacher
Honest If they give some criticism to the students
for them to grow. Thinking that
sugarcoated advice will not be helpful at
all but being honest on certain things in
life can help the student to face the reality
of this cruel world.

Enthusiastic When a teacher looks happy and having

fun on everyone’s journey and life, such
as what is the favorite color of his
students, their favorite food, asking what
is their dream. These simple question can
give a strong bond between teacher and
students as they also build trust and
closeness.

Caring If a student approach a teacher and tells

a life-problem he/she experience, the
teacher will give a support, a listening
ear, and a good advice to help that
 student in pain or in trouble. Caring is not
just about physical touch but it can be
form as emotional and mental support.

Role Model When a teacher obey and follows all the

school rules and do the right things
instead of the wrong ones. By that this
teacher can influence the students to do
the same and act accordingly.

Fair Giving a right grade based on that

student performances and not just
because this student is a daughter of a
mayor or simply this student is the
teacher’s favorite. Teacher should do
their job properly by first being fair at all
times.

Friendly Teacher shares his happy and joyful

personal experience for the student to
feel that they can be friends and to ease
the tension between them, to lose all the
walls surrounds them.

Respectful When the teacher consider student’s

culture, preferences and beliefs without
imposing something from his/her own.
Respecting everyone’s life as long it is
still leading to a right path.
Dedicated When there is no hint to quit but rather
choose to stay, persevere and continue
his/her job.

Creative By looking on how beautiful, unique and

interesting the teacher’s visual aids, on
how he/she execute the lessons. By
these you can say that the teacher is
more creative than the others.

6. Write sample scenarios where you have observed these attitudes of a professional
teacher – empathetic, dedicated, reflective, and passionate.

Attitude of a Professional Teacher Scenario

Empathetic When a teacher consider to give a longer
deadline to the students because of a
certain situation involved, such as family
problem, visiting a family member who is
dead, sick student, etc.

Dedicated A teacher who never misses a class and

always present in every meeting, an
active teacher who joins school events for
it to look better.

Reflective When a teacher accepts his/her wrong

 whether it’s accidental or if someones call
it out, the teacher should be reflective on
the mistakes and not let the pride drives
in, for the both sides to be okay and for
him/her to grow.

Passionate When a teacher never stops to do his/her

responsibility which is to teach every of
his/her students even it is hard even it
looks impossible to stay strong everyday,
but always still choosing to fight.

8. Prepare a 1,000 word Reflection Note on the following article by Dr. Marzano to be
uploaded onto the section’s drive. There should be an introduction, body of the note,
and the conclusion.

The first time I heard and fully absorb the word dimension is probably when I
watched Doctor Strange, one of the movies in Marvel Universe, where the protagonist
Stephen Strange fights the cosmic entity slash the antagonist named Dormammu in the
place called Dark Dimension, where it is full of unknown things but surely holds a great
power. So when I encounter again this word, my interest automatically take off, many
question builds up in my mind like something excites it. As I skimming the module I
found very useful and a lot of style and techniques on how should I manage a school
community, what should I teach to my students in the near future, and many more
answers and solution to my long-unanswered inquiries. Another thing and the most
special and important realization is that realizing the word Dimension do not just exist in
a fantasy-supernatural world, but also in reality and to my very own field, which is
teaching.

The Module by Dr. Marzano called Dimensions of Learning is really quite eye
catching especially for those people who desire to go in the path of teaching of course.
There is the automatic instinct that this material will do good and will be a lot of help as
it is full of new knowledge and information. Well all books have their own content of
information, their difference will be the depth of that information involved and included to
their pages. The first part of the book tours the reader to its vast content, the
Dimensions are separated in five categories and the book covers a 6 chapter where
every of it tackles the dimension and the last one is all about putting the dimensions all
together. Based on what has been mentioned in the module, the dimensions of learning
is a comprehensive model that derived mostly to theorist and researchers work to
discover and to define learning process itself. A set of observations, solutions,
techniques and style to help every aspiring educator, as well the in field professional
teachers who maybe still seeking what is the most efficient and effective teaching style
to help their everyday work. The first thing that my eye catches is the part where every
dimension has its own classroom example where If I was asked about it, I will simply
mark this part as it is the best part. As we can read how to properly execute the
procedure and to learn the actual scenario that probably we will also use in the future.

As I said earlier there are five dimensions called (in order): Attitudes and
Perceptions, Acquire and Integrate Knowledge, Extend and Refine Knowledge, Use
Knowledge Meaningfully, and Habits of Mind. These five main parts of the book surely
holds their own uniqueness of support to lift and define every aspect of a standard or
desired teaching. First let us discover the first chapter and the first dimension called
Attitudes and Perceptions where it simply affects a student performance and behavior
towards the class. For example scenario, I will give my personal experience. When this
teacher in my highs school seems uninterested towards his/her students growth and
performances whether it is good or bad result, this teacher did not teach properly maybe
because of the reason of old age, so the tendency of learning of the student is very slim
and my perception about this subject is very low energy and boring that will lead to be
having a negative impact as I did not learn a thing at all. Another positive example is
that when a teacher is very active and friendly to his/her student it will give us an
exciting day of discussion and it may lead to a better performance as we eagerly want
to know more from this teacher. Second dimension is called Acquire and Integrate
Knowledge, from the title itself we know what id going on in this dimension we can
have a hint that it is all about discovering and founding a information and apply it in
ourselves. It is important to execute what you have learn in your life, that someday you
will apply those lesson in school, learning is not just about gaining information and then
you will just stock it in your mind, you should think ways on how this new information will
be useful to your life. For example is that when you just found how to cook an adobo
recipe on a cookbook you just read by in a bookstore. The second dimension will take
effect if you plan to try cooking this recipe on dinner night. By just acquiring this new
found knowledge and doing or applying it the same time is how this second dimension
works. Third dimension is Extend and Refine Knowledge where the module says that
learning does not stop by just acquiring and integrating the new found knowledge but
also to extend it and to refine it to its utmost limit or perfection. Let’s use the example
earlier about cooking the adobo recipe you just acquired, this third dimension will work
when you try to transform your adobo recipe with a twist, like adding some pineapple to
it. Or when you found out that adobo is better when its sweet, so you now add sugar to
it, by that you extend the capability of yourself cooking this adobo plus you now refining
it by making it the best adobo as you corrected flavor or corrected the error you just
found. So in teaching field this dimension will work also if you now try to stretch the new
found learnings and now refining it to be the most effective and efficient knowledge. The
fourth dimension is Use Knowledge Meaningfully that to be said is the most effective
learning as you use your knowledge in a whole different level. The example I think for
this is that when humans knew that we can use sunlight for alternative source of
electricity, that is why the invention of solar panels occur. From the knowledge we gain,
we think for its usage and ask how to reach a broad beneficiary, and by that I think it is
a knowledge which is meaningfully applied. Last dimension is called Habits of Mind
whereas the effective learners can now think beyond than the normal ones. They can
now possess skills like critical thinking, creativity and such the like. These people who
acquired this dimension is more likely to be an intellectual as they are not shallow
minded people and they can see a bigger picture than anyone else.

As I end this reflective note the one of the things I sure of is that this manual will
help every student teacher or the teacher itself to be more effective when it comes to
handling his/her work, on how to deal in different situations happening in the classroom.
A single manual yet so powerful, that is what Dr. Marzano gives us. A manual we can
look in times of difficulty and in times of distress as being a teacher who holds a great
responsibility, we should carry this techniques and styles to be an effective foundation
of learning. To build a intellectual students for the benefits of this nation. “Oh how fine it
is to know a thing or two” a quotation in the manual, but for me, how fine it is to know
not just a thing or two, but a five dimensions of learning…

Remember that all these assessments plus the 20-item quiz are due latest on November 3,
