which is practical and that which
works is what is good, that which is

mitosis is more efficient and more
effective and therefore more practical
than teacher coming up with a visual
aid by drawing mitosis on a cartolina
or illustration board
7. Rationalism-emphasizes the
development of the learners' reasoning
powers; knowledge comes though
reason; teacher must develop the
reasoning power of the learner

person and actions desired can be the
product of design; behavior is
determined by others, rather than by

Teacher Sherwin asks questions that
are relevant to the actual world, as well as
preparing his students for it.
Authentic assessment, such as non-
restricted essays, was employed and
supported.
Sir Sherwin challenges his students,
expecting them to stimulate and respond to
the topic. The students' comments are
scrutinized and discussed critically.
Sir Sherwin questioned the students
on the subject and invited them to take a
position on it based on their own personal
experiences and explain why.
Sir Sherwin describes a
compassionate scenario and asks the pupils
what they will do if they encounter or
experience that event.
Sir Sherwin asks the students if they
had seen, smelled, or touched any of the
plants and flowers in the photograph
throughout the conversation.
Sir Sherwin gives good feedback or
accolades to students who display desirable
behavior. If the students behave badly, the
instructor will correct or punish them to help
them manage their behavior and learn new
skills.

ANALYZE
1.
In Philippine primary schools, the most prevalent educational philosophy is progressivism,
which is learner-centered. We are now cultivating lifelong learners by allowing students to
be self-sufficient, critical thinkers, and experience-based learners. It's our one-of-a-kind
approach to improving students' talents and knowledge by simply facilitating and supporting
their needs at school.

2.

Schools and teachers should pay more attention to existentialist philosophy. In order to stand
on their own two feet and not rely on the opinions of others, students must be able to make
their own decisions and pick what is good and bad. They will be able to confront the future
and live a meaningful life if they develop and enhance this talent. They can also create the
best possible version of themselves.

Accomplished Observation Sheet

Knowing and understanding the teacher's philosophy of education will help me determine
and correlate my teaching approach and improve future teacher training courses. Because of
the prominence of such educational philosophies, I am better able to understand what was
best to fit and include in the teaching-learning process in class, how it works, and what the
important repercussions are for students' academic advancement and achievement. As a
result, this episode has taught me how to develop my own teaching philosophy, which I
believe will be useful and beneficial when I ultimately become a teacher and teach.
My Philosophy of Teaching

In order to help students acquire more information and abilities to become adaptive
problem solvers in preparation for their adult lives, I guarantee and believe that every student
should be pushed to address genuine issues, similar to those they would face outside of
school. To measure those sorts of learning, I will present each learner with a teaching style
and tactics that incorporate variety as well as a real-world application of their skills and
knowledge in every session and work in my subject area that is required for their growth.
I believe that each student in my class should be nurtured meaningfully and
successfully, that each learner will be a life-long learner, and that they will be educated
about the subject and skilled enough in real-world application. In the classroom, I will help
students develop the skills and information they need to succeed, as well as nurture their
talents and give them the courage to pursue their goals.
Finally, I feel that in order for me to be able to help my students and others, I need to
have a purpose in life. I must be dedicated to learning, as well as classroom discipline and
my students. It is to make the planet a better place to live in the future for all of us. These
were the challenges I accepted when I decided to pursue a teaching career. But I'm still
committed to it.
