EPISODE 1 and 2

FIELD STUDY 2 Participation and Teaching Assistantship
Episode 1 The Teacher We Remember
Analyze
1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx videos that
you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
The following skills are possessed by a great teacher: knowledge and comprehension of the subject
matter. They also incorporate the local community into their lesson, which instills in the pupils a
sense of the interconnectedness of everything and the importance of real-world learning. They also
help students study in a way that allows them to share best practices and cultivate a passion of
learning that lasts a lifetime. Additionally, they have traits that make a successful teacher, like a
willingness to listen to kids, communication skills, collaboration abilities, the ability to adopt, and
patience. Additionally, they have qualities that make for good teaching, such as an engaging
classroom presence, that help them become better teachers every day.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?

Yes ! Is there a reason for this, was the abilities, knowledge, and traits that professional associations
and/or organizations expressly appreciate are known as professional competences. Or to put it
another way, it would not be appropriate for non-professionals to utilize. We must keep in mind how
these skills will affect our future profession.
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a lesson,
execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades? Explain your
answer.
I think it is adequate to be able to supervise a class, organize and carry out lessons, evaluate student
learning, compute grades, and report them. They will be better able to do their duties if they possess
professional competencies. In addition to imparting knowledge in the classroom, a great teacher will
be able to inspire and motivate students to go beyond what is taught there. I firmly believe that
excellent instructors possess subject-matter expertise and are able to interact with learners in a
polished and competent manner. Therefore, in my opinion, having the necessary professional
competences is more than enough to make someone an excellent teacher.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important, personal qualities or professional

competencies?
Both professional and personal traits are crucial for a teacher, and I believe that without either of
them, a teacher would be lacking. Teachers must possess certain personal traits, such as effective
communication abilities, in order to comprehend the needs of their students. Professional
characteristics or abilities are also necessary since they enable you to understand the core teaching
strategies, tricks, and practical experience needed to cope with a variety of students. A teacher who
possesses these two traits also has an advantage because they will help them become an excellent
instructor. Indeed, teachers is a whole package if they have the two characteristics.

5. Who are the teachers that we remember most?

I believe that the teachers we remember the most are the ones who are kind to us. A mentor who
made an imprint on lives especially my science teacher way back on elementary days. Moreover,
the teacher who can establish a good rapport with us. A teacher who is patient enough to explain
things or concepts. And lastly a teacher, who is committed to instructing and motivating us to study.
Write Action Research Prompts

1. OBSERVE In assisting my Resource Teacher, I observed that personal traits such as the ability
to listen well to the needs of her students and professional competencies like assessment and
scaffolding were least not displayed and as a result, students were / class was experiencing such
difficulties.
2. REFLECT The lack of these personal traits and professional competencies (mentioned in #1)
maybe caused by dearth of knowledge the teacher may not have explored much when it comes to
knowing the various personal traits and professional competencies a teacher must possess.
3. PLAN I would like to address the problem (mentioned in # 2) by conducting an action research
on the coping mechanism and challenges of high school students particularly grade 7 student.
4. ACT
a.) The main objective of my action research is to identify the complexities and coping mechanisms
in high school students, particularly grade 7student.
b.) My specific research questions are: What is the age, gender, and monthly household income of
the students? What difficulties do individuals encounter while they learn their subject? What coping
mechanisms does the respondent employ to aid in their subject learning?
c.) To answer my specific research questions, I will use the descriptive method to answer my specific
research questions because the main purpose of the study is to determine the challenges and
coping strategies of high school students, particularly grade7 student.

Work on my Artifacts
Attach your reflection here.
Personal characteristics as well as professional competencies were imparted to me.
Also, I discovered that applying professional competency in teaching produces a
more encouraging environment for students and generates a broad horizon of
knowledge for them, making them feel safe in the knowledge they obtain from the
teacher. Another thing I learnt is that as a professional teacher, you must seek out
all your students' requirements in order to provide or provide them the necessary
treatment for their challenges. I also learnt that as future educators, we must
prioritize what is best for our children above all else because it is one of the most
crucial components of becoming a teacher. It also offers me an understanding of how
these two characteristics assist you strive toward your goals while also working
efficiently with your students. I understood that to reach the standards of a great
teacher, you must display specific competencies. I also realized that having both
characteristics would help me become a better teacher in the future. Another issue
is that it would be perfect if I possessed these two traits because they would be quite
useful to me as we will be practicing teaching very soon. Developing these abilities
or attributes through the course I'm now doing will be highly valuable to me.
I understand how difficult it will be, but I am willing to put in the effort to enhance
these skills through the degree I am pursuing. So, I will strive to develop all the
competencies since each one has opportunity for improvement, and I want to grow
well in each competency to be a great teacher for my student. I certainly aspire to
have these qualities now that I'm halfway through my prospective career. Maybe not
right now, but I hope to have those qualities soon. It merely takes courage and
commitment to develop such abilities. It may be
And lastly, I want to share my teacher I remember most, she is ma’am Evelyn
Catayong Adao my science teacher way back on my elementary years. She’s
tough, but I'm determined to go after it and find out what happens.
inspires me to become a science teacher, she taught me a lot of learning
both in the body of knowledge and in life, and I become an apple to her eyes
since that I’m one of her outstanding pupils in her class. To make the story
short, on my high school graduation I was surprised that she was our guest
speaker. From being my science teacher now she is a DEPEd
Personnel/Supervisor and a Phd.holder, she is now a Doctor of Education.
One thing I cannot missed when after the graduation ceremony right on the
momentum we cross our way she said, “Congratulation to one of my simple
but terrible pupils, you can reach the summit of your dreams” and I saw on
her face the proudness of my achievement (because I’m one who got Latin
honor). Before we bid goodbye she said, “Lampasan mo pa ako, you can do great”,
words that I never forget, words full of “PAGTAPOD” and those words one I always
carry on my shoulder in strengthening myself against tribulations.

Action research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems to be full of problematic
situations and that the teacher has a responsibility of finding solution for everyday problem in
school, hence teachers should do action research. This is an exciting part of being a teacher, a
problem solver!

Reflect
Based on the readings you made and the previous activities that you have done,
1. What significant ideas or concepts have you learned about action
research?
I learned that for the education of learners to be delivered or of higher quality,
action research is necessary. Action research enables us to think critically and apply new
knowledge right away in the classroom. Action research can help us identify problems. It
also aids in the formulation of a remedy to the identified issue. Action research might be
useful in situations where additional means is required.
2. Have you realized that there is a need to be an action researcher as a future
teacher? YES _____ NO _____. If yes, complete the sentence below.
I realized that In the future, I would benefit by conducting action research. Action
research, in my perspective, will help me understand better the problems that may strike us
within the near future. Another advantage is that it will help me show up with a viable solution
to the underlying problem. Action research actually helped us to realize that such problems
are inevitable in any teaching and learning process. Indeed, action research creates
possibilities for innovative ideas.

OBSERVE From what teaching principles of theories can this problem be anchored?
o I have observed and noticed that Action Research begins with a problem or a problematic
situation.
o Write an example of problematic situation that you have observed and noticed.
Since we are in this so-called "new normal," I have seen that students has low level of participation
during online classes when learning through distance learning. I can say that I am one of those
students. There may be more distractions than usual when students study from home or another
location, especially if family and possibly younger siblings are present. Even if you are in a online
class, your parents possibly command you to do chores or anything, which would forbid you from
fully engaging in an online class. In fact, students don't participate much in the virtual class
discussions, and the current environment makes it impossible to develop some necessary skills.
REFLECT What have I realized? What do I hope to achieve?

I realized that for every teaching-learning problem, there is a solution. Write a probable solution to
the problematic situation above. We have an online learning environment, thus it is preferably
6|Page
adding a virtual reality laboratory. Students can still participate in the learning process in this manner,
much like having video tutorials. Another benefit is that even if they lack actual experience, they can
still develop the necessary abilities. However, it is much better if students can finish the assignment
by themselves. Let's just go with the flow because the pandemic is already underway and make the
seemingly impossible happen.
PLAN What strategies, activities, innovations can I employ to improve the situation or solve the
problem?
• As a future action researcher, I can plan an appropriate intervention, such as searching
online for a free virtual reality testing facility. I think that by looking, I will be able to help
students participate and gain the required abilities. Additionally, I'll make sure that the entire
class has access to any free virtual reality labs I find so they may engage in some hands-
on activities. In addition, I will oversee their use of the virtual reality lab to make sure
students can acquire the skills needed for the topics. That is the strategy that, in my opinion,
will help them overcome their low participation issue.
ACT If I conduct or implement my plan, what can be its title?

• If will implement my doable plan in the future, my title would be incorporating a virtual reality
lab into science lessons to increase and improve science students' performance.

An Action Research in Science: Providing Metacognitive

Support to Year 9 Students
Francis Wagabaa, David F. Treagustb, A L. Chandrasegaranb, Mihye Won
Darwin High School, Darwin, AUSTRALIA; Curtin University, Perth, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
ABSTRACT
An action research study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of
providing metacognitive support to enhance Year 9 students’
metacognitive capabilities in order to better understand science concepts
related to light, environmental health, ecosystems, genetics, ecology,
atoms and the Periodic Table. The study was conducted over three years
involving 35, 20 and 24 students in each year. The interventions included
providing students with clearly stated focused outcomes about the relevant
science concepts, engaging in collaborative group work, reading scientific
texts and using concept mapping techniques. The data to evaluate the
effectiveness of the metacognitive interventions were obtained from pre-
and posttest results of the Metacognitive Support Questionnaire (MSpQ).
The results showed gains in the MSpQ.

Notice
What concepts have been emphasized in the task and infographics? Give at least four.
1. Understand what action research is and how it is used in the field of education.
2. Learn about the various models and how to conduct Action Research.
3. Know what an action research's key components are.
4. Distinguish about the various Action Research methodology.
Since the 3 models are all for action research, what are the common elements of the three?
They have the same characteristics, which is what they have in common. They also have a cycle
that includes elements like observing, reflecting, planning, acting, evaluating, and modifying. The
elements I mentioned above are a common way for action researchers to collect data. Action
research tests ideas as they are produced, providing real-time feedback on what works and how it
works.

Title and Author of the Action Research: “Creating a Virtual Science Lab (VSL): the adoption
of virtual labs in Saudi schools by Khulood Aljuhani, Marwa Sonbul, Mashail Althabiti & Maram
Meccawy”
Key Components Entry from your Sample Action Research
OBSERVE The Problem: Many constraints hinder science teaching activities in
Saudi Arabia and restrict students' innovative skills, such as the
limited duration of science courses, teachers' schedules, and many
students in the laboratory, which leads to their inability to follow
through on the experiment.
REFLECT Reflection: To improve scientific instruction in Saudi Arabian middle

schools, a virtual lab was designed as an alternative to science labs
in this study. The Virtual Science Lab (VSL) is a web-based system
in Arabic that allows students to conduct laboratory experiments in a
safe and interactive setting.
PLAN Plan of Action: The VSL was created with the primary purpose of
facilitating science instruction by moving the entire environment from
reality to virtual. This transformation comprises the replacement of
heavy equipment with graphical tools that are easier and faster to
maneuver due to drag and drop functionality. Furthermore, the VSL
requires technical help rather than a science technician. Furthermore,
the VSL uses technological equipment such as computers, the
internet, components, and specialized software that is substantially
less expensive than that used in HOLs. The VSL is a web-based
platform meant to introduce Saudi middle school pupils to a safe and
8|Page
interactive lab environment. It establishes a virtual learning

environment in which students can conduct experiments through the
internet either individually or in groups. It also aids science instruction
by providing communication and collaboration facilities for teachers
and students, much like any other e-learning system. It also allows
teachers to create new experiments to increase their students'
knowledge and perform laboratory assessments to track their
students' development.
ACT Implementation: A pre-test was undertaken with five second-year

middle school students from various schools in Jeddah to assess the
efficiency of using the VSL and to compare it to HOLs. The students
were supervised by researchers while they used various computers.
Before commencing the computer test, students were asked about
their knowledge and understanding of the basic ideas of several
science experiments taught in HOLs. According to the data, 60% of
the students struggled to understand the primary objectives of the
supplied experiments, and only 40% did so well. The students were
then instructed to repeat the experiment using the VSL on their own.
A post-test was performed to assess their experience with the virtual
world while the experiment was being carried out.
What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how will these be utilized in
your practice? To improve educational practice, the action research process is applied. Its methods
include acting, analyzing it, and reflecting on it. It is a method of obtaining evidence to change
procedures. Action research plans are also created, implemented, revised, and implemented again,
providing for a never-ending cycle of reflection and adjustment. In addition, I will use these in my
practice teaching to put all these strategies into action.
Reflect
As a future teacher, is conducting an Action Research worth doing?
As a future educator, I can say unequivocally that conducting action research is
worthwhile.
Why? In practical educational environments, action research creates knowledge around inquiry.
Action research enables educators to learn through their activities in order to grow personally or
professionally. The process of action research is distinct in educational research because of its
participatory nature.
How can AR be useful for every classroom teacher? Action research is beneficial to both
students and teachers. The various benefits of this phenomenon include professional development.
Such a development results from collaborative action work. Action research also improves the
culture adopted in the school.

OBSERVE Remembering my classroom observation in FS 1, I noticed that there are many
questions that I raised in my mind. These include:
a. How can we foster group effort and collaboration during a discussion?
b. How can we encourage students to actively participate in the discussion?
c. How can we assist students in engaging in a hands-on activity?
REFLECT Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done
to solve the problem or answer the question, like:
a. By assigning them a task in which each member must contribute and collaborate with the
other members of their group.
b. By asking the students what their thoughts or opinions were on the topic.
c. By experimenting, learners can apply what they have learned in the lesson to master their
experimenting skills.
d.
PLAN Now that I am in FS 2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem (choose from a, b, c)
because some skills necessitate hands-on practice. We must remember how important it is to master
the necessary abilities. We cannot just assume that giving students the theory and concepts will
result in them learning the skills. Remember that most pupils learn best when they can accomplish
the task personally. John Dewey stated that "learners learn best through experience."
ACT My action will come later, given enough time in FS 2 or during my Teaching Internship.

Matching Problematic Learning Situations with

Episode 4
Probable Actions

What five problems have you identified from the words that you have encircled? Make a
statement. Write in the space below.
The problems I identified are:
1. Comprehension. A lack of concentration when reading will result in poor comprehension.
2. Bullying. Intimidation is still a prevalent for many students.
3. Motivation. A lack of motivation results in stagnancy.
4. Reading Difficulty. Many students struggle with reading especially grade 7.
5. Connectivity. Poor internet connectivity affect many students' academic futures.
MAKE A CHOICE FOR YOUR ACTION.

I choose B. Show video lessons to help enhance reading skills.
The Video was upload in instructor messenger.
Can you also choose letter B. Show video lesson as a SOLUTION for the same PROBLEM?
Yes Explain: I suppose that choosing B, which is to present video lessons as a solution to the
same problem, can also assist learners in improving their reading skills. A video lesson is also an
effective strategic intervention tool for teaching accurate pronunciation to a student; they can read
it while hearing how to pronounce the words.
What about letter C as a SOLUTION to the same PROBLEM? Why?
The creation of learning tasks, which I think to be the best option, can enhance reading abilities in a
way that makes it practical for teachers to use. Teachers may also keep a close watch on their
learners' academic development, figure out which words are the most challenging for them to read,
and create the most effective strategic intervention materials.
12 | P a g e
Notice What have you noticed of the problem identified above?

Students frequently struggle with reading particularly in the school we observe. The
pandemic we are experiencing is one hindering students' ability to learn to read and comprehend
what he/she read,
Can there be more than one solution to the problem? Yes Explain: The aforementioned issue has
several solutions because depending on just one would not be sufficient to address it. Keep in mind
that every issue we face has a variety of solutions. We only need to investigate it and get these
answers to come up with different solutions for the same issue, we need to be resourceful,
adaptable, and creative. It should always include backup plans for solving issues since, for instance,
a treatment might be effective in one class but not in another.
Reflect
After reading the two scenarios given above (FS 2 Book, page 33), how would
identifying problematic situations, and finding solution to these problems help you
become a better teacher? Explain:
Being vigilant as a future teacher to spot troubling circumstances is crucial. In a way that by
allowing oneself to focus on the specifics that take place in our environment. By enhancing ones’
capacity to look and observe attentively, recognizing problematic circumstances in the classroom
and getting-up with feasible solutions would help eventually become a better educator. In addition,
it helps me grow and understand the problems that frequently occur in classroom based.

Using any one example of problems in this activity, answer the AR prompts that follow:
OBSERVE What problematic situation prevails in the classroom? Connectivity, involvement, home
life, and social standing are all potential trouble spots in the classroom that could affect how well
both teachers and students are teaching and learning. According to scenario two, Sir Ryan's
students also hailed from a low-income metropolitan area, with the bulk of them coming from
disorganized homes. There is a chance that they are not paying attention to every lesson that
teacher Ryan is teaching, that there are more students dropping out, that there are more students
absent, and that they are uninterested in the lessons.
REFLECT What changes do you want to achieve? I want to start by giving them a purposeful
teaching-learning experience while also interacting with them mentally and socially. In addition, I
want them to take part in all activities and understand that there is help and hope out there for them.
I want them to know and believe that I will do the best I can to help them grow in learning and
cooperate better and have a more fulfilling educational experience. Ultimately, I want people to adopt
a different perspective and have confidence in their capacity to change for the better, for themselves.
13 | P a g e
PLAN
What strategies will you use to improve the situation? To improve the current situation, I plan to visit
them at their home on a regular basis in order to get to know them personally and establish a positive
rapport with their parents. I will schedule a meeting with the parents and form a group called the
"Parents-Teacher Association." As a teacher, I will be adaptable and sensitive. Both parents and
students should be able to express their concerns. To gain their trust, I will position myself as a role
model because I believe that cultivating a positive attitude in the classroom begins with me. And I
will reinforce and reward positive behaviors because praising students for their positive behavior is
a simple yet powerful way to motivate them to do their best. These strategies will assist students in
meeting all of their needs and bringing them to the classroom. I know it's difficult, but if the teacher
and parents are working toward the same goal and heading in the same direction, it will all be
worthwhile in the end.
ACT
What would be the title of your Action Research should you conduct the study?
"Strategic Intervention and Effectiveness Towards Social Status of Grade 10 Students in General
Macrthur Agricultural School" would be the title. As a teacher, I'll conduct this study since I'm sure it
will be beneficial to parents and students alike. I will get permission to perform this study from the
academic head and get the required materials ready. I will look for an in-kind donation as part of the
research process that will enable me to address some of the requirements of the students and
parents.

III. Abstract
This paper attempted to prove that the Strategic Intervention Material
(SIM) can significantly address the least mastered skills and learning
competencies from the K-12 curriculum guide. Different and multiple
activities were created to improve and make the pupil understand
difficult concepts about the subject matter. Assessments were made
and subjected to parallel testing. The items in the test were analyzed.
The activities were finalized and administered in T. Elementary School,
with 23 Grade IV pupils as respondents. The mean, mastery and
performance level on the actual lesson and the utilization of SIM were
computed. The results were also compared. The mastery and
performance level before and after the use of the Strategic Intervention
Material were interpreted. It showed that there was significant difference
on the mastery and performance levels of pupils. This suggests that the
utilization of SIM helps the pupils to master the difficult and least
mastered competencies.
IV. Identify the Problem in the Study
The study's problem is that students are having difficulty understanding
how to improve their performance level using multiple activities.

Episode 5 Preparing the Learning Environment: An Overview

What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning environment in the
following conditions:
1. Bulletin Board Display To assist my mentor in creating a conducive learning environment,

I'll help her out by giving her the necessary guidance, connecting the dots between
numerous topics, and extending her contemporary innovations. In order to establish a
supportive learning atmosphere, I will also assist my mentor by completing imaginative
research and producing a poster. Because I am aware that a bulletin board can serve as
"another teacher" who reflects new teachings, aids students in understanding new subjects,
and challenges them to engage in creatively.
2. Small Group Discussion To assist my mentor in leading and initiating this small group
discussion, I'll ask her if I can take the lead and start this action. I will prepare all pertinent
information and topics. Additionally, I will give them enough time and space so they can
think things through and participate in debates. It will help students spend their time more
effectively and be more productive.
3. Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e. google meet or zoom) I will ask my
mentor for permission before the class or meeting to prepare for and keep track of class
attendance. She will be able to streamline her work by beginning this.
Note: In the part of NOTICE, and ANALYZE, they are not applicable or observed in our
cooperating school because they’re now full blown face-to-face classes.
Reflect
I realized that…..
a. Face-to-face instruction is preferable to online instruction because it enables learners to
engage in a variety of hands-on activities while connecting with their peers.
b. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to provide the best environment for the children to feel
and experience a conducive learning environment.
c. If the pandemic was still continue, As a teacher, I must be ready for anything, including
the possibility of visiting my students' homes to conduct lessons and create a conducive
learning atmosphere.
16 | P a g e
OBSERVE
What probable problem may result from the two situations of the learning environment?
When it comes to online learning, the following are probable problems; time and location
accessibility, attendance of students, different learning styles, problems with technology and power
interruption.
When it comes to face-to-face learning, the following are probable problems; There is no such thing
as flexible learning, Travel time from home to school, inadequate learning resources, allowances for
expenses, peer destruction and these are the most likely issues that will arise in the two learning
situations.
REFLECT
What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?
I must interact with the students as a teacher by going to their houses and asking them how they
are and how I can help them. and must be equipped with both a plan A and a plan B to accommodate
all the students' academic requirements and interests. I also need to talk to the parents to find out
what their circumstances are right now. I need to develop a mindful mindset and be innovative. The
future of the students is in my hands, so I must be flexible in all I do.
PLAN
How should I do it?
To fulfill the assignment and support the children in their needs, I must apply my effort and
willingness. The teacher is critical in overcoming these challenges. And the precise activities that I
can take are as follows: first, I must seek the principal's assistance and advice before taking the
necessary action. Second, I'll talk to the parents about their current position. Third, I intend to seek
the intervention and assistance of local leaders. Fourth, as a teacher, I shall develop all educational
materials. To accommodate all of them, I shall adapt all my teaching abilities based on their demands
and circumstances. These solutions are designed to be used in a two-learning setting.

In not less than 300 words, write an essay on a topic: My Conducive Learning Environment
“My Conducive
Learning Environment”
Learning happens not only in the classroom but also in other places and contexts
throughout life. However, most life's lessons are learned inside those four walls. This is
especially important while laying the groundwork for children's future learning. To encourage
young children to enjoy learning new things, it is crucial to provide a favorable learning
atmosphere. Due to how much time students spend there each day, schools are regarded as
their second homes. Beyond having the appropriate school supplies and furniture, a conducive
learning environment is made up of several significant components. When combined, these
elements ought to create an environment where students feel free to discuss various ideas with
their peers and teachers while also feeling at ease researching their own interests and those
of various topics. Having a comfortable physical space where children can sit comfortably, see
and understand what their teacher is saying, as well as socialize with their fellow classmates is
one of the major components of a conducive learning environment. Every child is different.
Student A might easily grasp the lesson just by looking at the board and listening to what the
teacher says. Student B, on the other hand, would prefer having visual aids to understand the
content of the lesson properly. Then, Student C is the type who gets the lessons when an actual
experience is involved. The point is, the pace and manner of learning of each child are different.
It is a responsibility as a teacher to create a setting that promotes pupils to learn

according to their own pace, learning style, and despite differences. Establishing norms and
guidelines in the classroom can assist in guiding children toward joining a group. In support of
the second argument, it's important to create a learning atmosphere where kids feel like they
are a part of a community, no matter how different they are from one another. Children can
comprehend early on that people come from different families, have different values, views, and
religions, and that each person is unique.
This uniqueness is something that has to be accepted, respected, and even celebrated.
A student who feels confident in himself despite being different from others is one who belongs
to an effective learning community. All these three components can help foster a conducive
learning environment that celebrates the uniqueness of every student. As a teacher, it is your
responsibility to create a space that encourages every student not only to learn but have fun
while respecting everyone around him. Learning might go beyond the classroom, but the things
learned inside also matter as much.

Episode 6 Enhancing a Face-to-Face Learning Environment

Given the concepts and the infographic, can you participate and assist in a face-to-face
learning environment?
As a future teacher, I may participate in and contribute to a face-to-face learning environment by
creating a welcoming, comfortable, and conducive classroom where students feel free to participate
in class and ask questions. Students are encouraged to connect with one another, express their
opinions, and give comments on material or lessons. To improve the quality of their task output, I
will also let students work both independently and in groups to build their social, creative, and
analytical thinking abilities. Moreover, I think I will be able to use a range of teaching techniques that
will greatly benefit and aid in a face-to-face learning setting because we are using this new
curriculum. I think I can use technology to make my classes more interesting for my students and to
inspire them to consider and discuss what they have learned.
Notice
Having been exposed to the traditional classrooms in your basic education, it seems that everything
is familiar. However, as teaching-learning theories evolve over time there are changes that are taking
place. What changes have you noticed in the face-to-face classroom spaces?

19 | P a g e
Analyze
What do you think brought the changes in the face-to-face learning environment now?
I think that the use of technology in the classroom, which creates productive learning environments,
is causing changes in the face-to-face learning environment. There are locations that must be
reserved, among other things, and it affects how chairs and tables are set up.
From the changes that you identified, choose one that you can do. How will you do it?
The overall design of the classroom is where I think I can make the biggest improvements, and I
intend to use the existing technologies to make my classroom more innovative. I think my priorities
should be removing distractions from the classroom and promoting student growth.
Reflect
Do you think making the learning environment conducive for a face-to-face classroom will
enable the learners to achieve better learning outcomes? YES Explain your answer.
I thought that anconducive learning environment increases students' attention and focus,
promotes meaningful learning experiences, encourages higher levels of student
performance, and motivates students to practice higher-level critical thinking skills.
OBSERVE What common problem have I noticed in the face-to-face learning environment?
The boisterous environment, as well as the overcrowding of students in and out of the classroom.
Can I translate this problem into a question? What can we do to help students deal with such a
situation?
REFLECT How would I solve the problem? By establishing and enforcing the classroom
management, rules and policies that students need to achieve a good and relaxing classroom
environment.
Will it improve my teaching? _Yes_ How? It assists me in improving my teaching so that I can be
more focused on the lesson and provide a better learning experience. It also allows students to be
more focused on their studies while still allowing them to interact with one another.
PLAN What will I do to solve the problem? Describe briefly how you will do it.
I would design something unique so that my students can follow netiquette both inside and outside
of the classroom. Students develop their morals, attitudes, and become more disciplined in a given
situation as a result of this.

Portfolio Entry Title: The Face-To-Face Learning Environment
Describe the physical environment: The physical
environment refers to the overall design and layout
of a given classroom and its learning centers.
Teachers should organize the space,
furnishings, and materials in the classroom to
maximize learning opportunities and engagement
for all students. To do so effectively, teachers can
use the Universal Design for Learning concept,
which emphasizes that the environment and the
materials contained within it should be accessible
to all. Making this accessibility possible
may entail providing books at
various reading levels, placing
materials on a shelf within easy reach, or providing enough
space for a wheelchair-using child to move around the
classroom.
Describe the psychological environment : The

psychological environment is without a doubt the most difficult and
one-sided in nature. Teachers express their attitudes, excitement, values, and principles within the
psychological environment. When they begin their educational journey, most students expect to
be encouraged and assisted in their learning. The psychological environment in the classroom
promotes the exchange of ideas, opinions, and attitudes, as well as the asking of questions
and the investigation of concerns.
Describe the social environment: The term
social environment refers to how a
classroom's environment influences or supports
interactions between young children, teachers,
and family members. A well-designed social
environment encourages positive interactions
between adults and children and allows adults to
help children achieve their social goals. Teachers must plan activities that take the following
factors into account in order to create a classroom environment that promotes positive social
interactions.

Episode 7 Making On-line or Virtual Learning Environment

Safe and Conducive
Notice
Unlike the traditional face-to-face classroom, online or virtual environment is a bit difficult to
manage. It is because Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is imaginary and not in the physical
sense. It has no corners or walls and it can be set up with the support of technology.
As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class?
I realized as an observer in an online class it was challenging to handle, but we must find a way.
Even though everything is done online, the first thing I'll do is set up rules and controls. My students'
participation will be logged, and I will use synchronize and offbeat to ensure that they have adequate
time to complete their tasks. It would be wonderful for three times its current price, according to the
thinking.
How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
Students shows active involvement in the lesson by arriving on time for an online virtual class and
always participating in the class by raising their hands or clicking the raise hand icon. They also pay
close attention, ask penetrating questions, and actively participate in all activities, but this is not
always the case.
Analyze
Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of on-line learning environment? Check
one or more.
______It was difficult to observe the physical behavior of the students.
______It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform.
______Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
______Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a conducive environment.
Reflect
As a future teacher I feel that on-line learning environment can be safe if the teacher
employs appropriate innovation. We knew it was critical to define online security for
students, so they know what to avoid and report when doing classwork online. This
understanding equips students with the knowledge and skills they will need to develop
secure online habits in the future. It also teaches students how to use the internet
responsibly and ethically, which can help them stay safe even when they are not doing
schoolwork. This is, in my opinion, instructive.
22 | P a g e
I think that teaching in a virtual learning environment will be interesting and exciting for me because
I will be able to present my lessons using a variety of software apps and online tools. On the other
hand, I believe virtual teaching is complicated because I only have a basic understanding of
how to use digital learning platforms. As a result, I'll have to go to webinars or seminars to learn how
to use those apps.
OBSERVE Identify the problems brought about by the on-line learning environments.
Social Isolation. Limited access to technology. Individuals who are computer illiterate are unable
to access the system.
REFLECT How would you solve this problem?
This issue could be addressed in the classroom by developing a strong innovation integration
approach. I was aware that there are factors beyond the teachers' control when applying learning
innovation. External difficulties must be dealt with at the organizational level, and the majority of
changes are ongoing. The term "access restriction" refers to issues caused by a lack of hardware
or a network. Implementing instructional innovation is only achievable if a teacher's school has
appropriate resources and a fast internet connection. The government must help our pupils cope
during this time of difficulty. I agree that no one, even in an emergency, should be denied an
education because children are our hope for a brighter future.
PLAN What initial plan do you intend to do to solve the problem?
The most crucial thing, according to experts, is to maintain in touch with teachers and keep them
informed of developments. They ought to be sympathetic and understanding of the circumstance,
even if it means taking backup course recordings. Encourage students to put in their best effort, stay
focused, and avoid anything that can impair their ability to study. There are different levels at which
you can interact and speak with you. Plan breaks and adhere to your learning schedule to prevent
missing live lectures or sessions. Furthermore, you might only require a fast internet connection at
home. Remember where you may turn to your company for help, as well as any unique problems
with software and equipment for engaging learning. Students should have access to tools that can
support their research.

Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and

Episode 8
Procedures in a Face-to-Face Remote Learning

To ensure that I can carry out perform my task efficiently and effectively in
participating and assisting my cooperating teacher in establishing routines and procedures
in the classroom or in remote learning, I must be guided by the following questions:
1. How will I gain student attention in the classroom /remote learning?
2. What are the routines and procedures that I need to establish before, during and after my classes
whether on a face-to-face or remote learning?
3. What verbal and non-verbal communication will I use to signal that students need help/attention
in the classroom / remote learning?
4. How must students get/secure the needed work materials and books and others in the classroom
/ remote learning?
5. How will students transition to group work and other cooperative activities in the classroom /
remote learning?
6. What procedures must be followed by students who need to attend to personal necessities in the
classroom/online classes?
7. What rules must be set for students who finish task early/ and for those who cannot complete
work on time?
8. What procedures must be observed for tardiness / early dismissals?
9. What procedures must be done when submitting homework/ performance tasks in the classroom
/ remote learning?
10. What procedures must be employed in movements into and out of the classroom/remote
learning?
Having these guide questions in mind, consult your Resource Teacher on the possible assistance
or participation that you can do to help her/him in doing the classroom routines. Complete the matrix
for the routines that you can employ before, during and after classes in the classroom/remote
learning to ensure order and discipline in your classes. List down the problems which you have
encountered while implementing these routines.
Our cooperating teacher gives us the chance to talk with her about any potential help or participation
we might provide to help her with the online class routines. She wants that we create both the lesson
plan and the PowerPoint presentation. We were able to help her lessen her load as a result.
Problems encountered while implementing the routine:
1. Students are still arriving late for class, despite the agreed-upon time.
2. Poor internet connection and signal stability.
3. Problems of unwanted echo and background noises both from the teacher or from the student
reciting most often are distracting.
4. Short attention span was problem may not be technical; but a problem that remains universal. It
takes self-discipline to be attentive and focused in a regular classroom setting.
26 | P a g e
Notice
After doing your classroom routines and formulating your procedures, state what you
noticed by answering the following questions:
▪ How did you feel after employing your classroom routines and establishing your procedures
in the classroom / remote learning? Although some students are loud, the class flow is fairly
structured and smooth, which made me feel better. Students won't put their microphones
away because they are so absorbed and involved.
▪ How did your students respond to your classroom routines and procedures? Students in an
online class demonstrated positive behavior because they were attentive, active, and
involved in the routines and procedures.
▪ What was the feedback of your Resource Teacher on your classroom routines and
procedures? The feedback from my Resource Teacher on the classroom routines is to
improve and maintain more of the routines. Aside from that, she was pleased that I had
finished the task.
▪ Was there a change in the classroom environment / teaching-learning process after you
have implemented your classroom routines and procedures? The installation of classroom
procedures has resulted in a shift in the classroom atmosphere; the class flow is somewhat
smoother, and I have seen that there is now connection with the learners.
Analyze
1. What factors/ conditions prompted you to establish those classroom routines and
procedures?
The learners' lack of connection was one of the factors that prompted me. I want to
strengthen our bond and relationship as we spend the next ten days with them.
2. Was there a marked improvement in classroom management after employing your

classroom routines?
Classroom management has improved noticeably, and as the class develops, everything
becomes more ordered, and the students become more engaged and energetic.
3. Did the teaching-learning process improve? Justify your answer.

Yes, the teaching-learning process has improved as a result of the learners' organization,
order, and participation.

Reflect
What insights have you gained while doing this learning episode?
My Resource Teacher's criticism on classroom routines provided me with the insights I
needed during this learning event. It is to continue improving additional classroom
procedures because it will be beneficial in the future. It also gives me a broad concept of
how to engage with my pupils while applying the created routines and procedures. In
addition, I acquired various tactics for catching the attention of learners both in person and
online.

Notice
After reading and reviewing the classroom remote learning management plan from different
sources and creating your own plan, answer the following questions.
1. What salient component have you noted? As teachers, I believe we must always be mindful of
each student's requirements. We must always consider students' degree of comfort when teaching
and reflecting. This episode will concentrate on classroom procedures and routines.
2. Why is there need to utilize the information to create your classroom management plan? I think
it's important to use the information to develop my classroom management plan because it will be
easier for me to manage my classroom effectively for a variety of students if I have options for rules
and procedures that are more beneficial to students.
3. What were the significant things that you noticed when you were implementing your plan? The
most significant lesson I've learned from implementing my plan is that organization and management
of the classroom depend on planning. The classroom management plan helps students concentrate
on what they are studying and comprehend what is expected of them. The provision of a safe and
productive learning environment while minimizing distractions within our school is one of the main
objectives of this plan.
4. Were there items in your classroom / remote learning management plan which were not tailored
to the needs of your students? How will you improve on this? No, and I think that in order to get
better, I should concentrate on the materials that they will actually utilize rather than just display in
the classroom.
Analyze
1. What elements in your classroom/remote learning management plan were mostly
followed/complied?
The cleanliness of the classroom and the students' moral character were mostly followed;
respecting teachers and students, using positive language, and so on.
2. What elements in your plan were the most difficult to implement? Why?
"Be on time" was the most difficult aspect of my plan to implement because some students
have multiple household choirs and are frequently late for class.
Reflect
What were your realizations after creating and implementing your classroom/ remote
learning management plan?
I see the value of having a management plan for the classroom. It serves to help students
improve their minds so they can have strong moral character, in addition to reminding them
of their academic obligations. It also aids my students in concentrating on their schoolwork
because there are no outside distractions.

Paste your Classroom / Remote Plan
My Classroom Management Plan
Philosophical Statement
I will establish a learning environment that is safe, enjoyable, and cooperative.
Discipline will be implemented as quickly as practicable and as required. Every
student in my class will have a fresh start every day. Each student will receive
the one-on-one attention required for success.
Classroom Rules and Procedures
To ensure the discipline of my students, I will establish classroom rules and
procedures such as:
Show your teacher respect and pay attention to what he or she is
saying.
Be considerate of your classmates.
Be prepared for class.
Raise your hand to speak if you want to.
Remain silent when your teacher speaks.
Share new concepts
Always maintain a clean classroom.
Stick to the seating arrangement.
Use positive language.
Take part in the discussions
Obey all school regulations.
Be on time and be alert.
Finish your homework on time.
Be honest
Teacher- Student Relationship

I will treat my students fairly and with respect to maintain positive connections
with them. I'll teach them morality and how to respect others. When interacting,
I find that utilizing positive phrases is more successful. I'll teach them how to
speak as well as listen. I'll remind them that I'm their instructor and they're my
students, therefore they must keep me updated on any changes.
Schedule Timeframes
In terms of time and scheduling, I will construct my class schedule based on the
agreement my co-teachers and I reached. I should always consider the opinions
of my employees and students. To retain my pupils' attention on the task at hand,
I will make every element of my lecture exciting and participatory. I should
34 | P a g e
always draw all my students' attention, including those in the back. I should also
consider their feelings and circumstances.
Classroom Structure, Design and Arrangements
To establish a conducive learning atmosphere in my classroom, I will supply
materials that will aid in the growth and development of my students. I'll also
add some of the technology that we'll be using in class daily. Furthermore, in my
classroom, I shall eliminate any sources of distraction and tension.
Classroom, Safety, Rules and Procedures

I'll have a medical cabinet available for my students' use in case something goes
wrong to assure their safety and security. In addition, I should get rid of any
potentially hazardous items like blades, chemicals, or anything else. The
classroom ought to have two doors and a fire extinguisher for security
purposes. To protect their safety, I will set regulations including the need for
students to contact me or a security officer if they have any worries, publishing
a cellphone number for emergencies, and forbidding students from leaving
campus during class hours.
Strategies for Rewards and Consequences

I'm going to make rules and procedures for the class that will make the students
responsible for their behavior, and I think the kids will follow the rules if there
are consequences and rewards associated with them.

Episode 10 Writing My Learning/Lesson Plans

With all this information in mind, you are all set in writing your lesson plan. Based
on the instructions giving by your Cooperating Teacher, prepare your lesson plan (s) based
on the learning competencies of the lesson. Consider the age appropriateness and the level
of communication of your students. Request lesson plan exemplars/ lesson plan templates

Notice
1. What factors did you consider in writing your lesson / learning plans?
I considered the ages of my students when creating my lesson/learning plan to make sure
that the language and activities I chose are appropriate for them. Because I want my pupils
to be able to convey what they have learned in class, I am also considering combining other
activities into performance objectives. To encourage my students to learn, I want to make
my lessons more interesting and engaging.
2. What difficulties did you meet in writing your lesson / learning plans?
I'm having trouble imagining how I'll present the lesson and what activities I'll include in my
lesson plan because we're doing an online class. Because I'm unfamiliar with how to
make online lessons engaging, I'm having difficulty deciding on specific strategies to
implement.
3. What feedback was/were given by your Resource Teacher in your first draft lesson / learning
plans?
My resource teacher was unable to review my draft lesson plan due to a lack of time and a
hectic schedule. But she's ecstatic that I passed the semi-in-depth lesson. I'm also confident
that my learning strategy can be improved.
4. What were the best features/areas for improvement of your/lesson learning plans?
In my opinion, the best part of my lesson is when I allow students to solve problems
in a variety of ways, such as drawing or using a place value chart. I believe it has the
potential to promote learning because students will collaborate to explore and discover
things on their own. Meanwhile, one aspect of my lesson that I can improve is the way I will
present the lessons. I need to improve my teaching strategy to avoid boredom.
Reflect
Why is lesson planning an integral part of the instructional cycle?
Teachers combine the objectives of the curriculum with pedagogy and knowledge of their
teaching situation during lesson planning. If you ask ten teachers about the advantages of
lesson planning, you might hear ten different responses. Various viewpoints exist regarding
how far in advance a teacher should plan classes. Some advice planning a week in
advance, while others advise doing so a month in advance. But ultimately, the objective is
to produce excellent learning outcomes for kids. Although creating thoughtful lesson plans
requires time and consideration, the investment can pay off in a variety of ways. In this
article, we'll look at the thing’s teachers can consider while organizing lessons in order to
ensure success for themselves, their classrooms, and—most importantly—their students.

OBSERVE
1. The problems challenges encountered in writing my learning lesson plans arose as I
considered how I would present the lesson and what learning resources I would employ. I
was having trouble coming up with instructional strategies and learning resources that would
not bore or disengage the students because the class will be held online. It was difficult to
incorporate appropriate learning resources that would meet the students' individual
needs.
REFLECT
2. I hope to achieve to address these problems and challenges by interviewing some teachers
about the instructional strategies and learning resources they used in their online
classes. In addition, I plan to attend webinars about various instructional strategies
and learning resources that I can use in my classroom. This will provide me with knowledge
of additional strategies or techniques that will improve the learning experience of my class.

Paste one (1) lesson plan and write your simple reflection.
Reflection:
After creating my lesson plan, I understood that as a
teacher, I must create a lesson plan that has the following
components: specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and
time-bound, as well as a lesson plan that makes students feel
the lessons were delivered to them in the proper order
(SMART). In order to foster higher learning processes and
make sure that students retain the teachings, I also discovered
that the tactics, methods, and approaches utilized in lesson
design must promote interesting student-centered activities.
I also came to the realization that developing a lesson plan is
crucial since it acts as a guide for achieving your goals. It acts
as a roadmap for achieving the lesson's goals. I feel
comfortable talking about the topic because lesson planning
involves pre-planning your class. I really believe that I must be
completely prepared before I begin teaching in order to
guarantee ongoing learning. With the use of a lesson plan, you
are compelled to project when you will be able to finish the unit
of your lessons. According to the adage "failure to plan is
planning to fail," if you don't have a lesson plan, you're intending
to fail at teaching the lesson.

Notice
Using Robert Gagne’s Events of Instruction, what did you notice in the following segments
of learning:
▪ How did the students react to the activities/various elements to arouse their interest?
Different exercises and directions elicited different responses from the students. There are
some students who favor educational games over lectures. Some students actively
engaged in the discussion by contributing their questions, opinions, and insights. Of course,
there were those kids who preferred group and partner activities because they were shy.
▪ Were the students focused when you were stating the learning objectives at the beginning
of the lesson?
Yes, students were all listening attentively because I already caught their attention at the
beginning of the lesson. I have prepared presentation and they were able to read the
objectives clearly while explaining these with them.
▪ How did the new learnings relate with what they really know?
New learnings can be applied and relate with what they already know. Students can focus
on the relevance of the new knowledge they have gained to the prior knowledge. In this
way, learners can generalize, reflect and self-explain the concepts and ideas they have
learned and know. They can also identify the gaps of their prior learning with the new
learnings.
▪ Did you notice some students who needed assistance? What did you do?
Yes, there were students who needed assistance that is why I employed pair and group
activities. In this way, students who were shy and not confident to asks questions and share
ideas on discussion can do so on peer teaching and group tasks.
▪ Did the students find difficulty in applying the theories/concepts learned to real life?
Actually, students got the opportunity to apply what they had learnt by writing an essay with
the proper structure. As a student teacher, I was able to provide opportunities for students
to work together and learn from one another while applying concepts they had previously
learned about multidisciplinary teams and teamwork. Additionally, I was able to create
activities that link deeper connections and similar idea organization.
▪ How did your students react to your feedback?

Learners reacted to my feedback positively, they accepted my opinions and suggestions
wholeheartedly on how they can improve their outputs based on my constructive criticisms.
▪ What pieces of evidence can prove that the students had retention of learning?
Since they were able to complete the homework I gave them, I was able to determine that
the students had retained the information. Even though there were some unavoidable
grammatical faults in their thesis statement, at least they were able to develop a strong
thesis statement.

Reflect
Having implemented several lessons in your Cooperating School under the supervision of
your Cooperating Teacher, in what areas of the lesson do you need to improve?
The areas of the lesson that I need to improve is on time-consciousness and gaining the attention
of the students will help them increase their focus and prevent their disruptive behavior. In that way,
I can easily employ my instructional strategies and learning management plan, distractions can also
reduce
