and Instructional Materials

PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST

Consult your FS Resource teacher about this episode. Let your teacher know that the task for this
episode is for you to assist the teacher by providing suggestions on resources and materials that the
teacher can use in delivering a lesson on a specific topic. Fill out the table below:

Subject: Music Grade Level: 8

Topic: K-pop and J-pop

Resources/Instructional What is the use or purpose of
Materials you plan to utilize in resource/material? Describe
the lesson. how you will use the
resources/materials to attain
the learning
objectives/outcomes.
Video K-pop and J-pop music is usually
accompanied with music videos,
thus it is important to also show
them a moving picture for the
students to be able to visualize
the lesson.
Pictures I will use this to allow the
students to visualize what I am
talking about.
Music I will use it to allow the students
to differentiate different kinds
of musical characteristics to
some music that I will play.
PowerPoint Presentation I will this to show the lesson
contents so students could take
notes.
As the situation would permit, try out the resources/materials with the students.
Explain why you selected the
resource/material based on the
guide points mentioned above.
How are these criteria met?
It allows students to further
give comparisons to K-pop and
J-pop.
Used to show the pictures of
certain people who have existed
a long time ago, and are needed
to be brought up again because
of their historic works
It allows students to understand
the different musical qualities of
both K-pop and j-pop.
This will allow students to
understand and compare the
musical characteristics that I will
be discussing.
NOTICE

After you participated or assisted in using resources/instructional materials in teaching/learning,

describe what you observed and experienced by answering the items below.

1. How did you prepare for this activity?

- I first gave a lot of thought about it of course. I had to make sure that it goes hand in hand
with the curriculum guide. I also have to make sure that it is doable by the students both in
their age and grade. Lastly, I have to make sure it is sensitive in all aspects and make sure it
doesn’t cause any harm to my students.

2. Describe how you or the teacher utilized the resources/instructional materials. Narrate your
experience as you participated and assisted.
- It was very fun. The students actually were very participative with the discussion and are
focused on the instructional materials that were used, which means it was very effective. I
therefore conclude that with the right instructional materials, students become more
motivated to learn.

3. What were your feelings and thoughts while you were assisting with the use of the
resource/materials?
- It was very nerve-racking! I was very nervous especially that it’s my first time being in front
of the students. But I look at it as a preparation for my future profession, and I think to
myself that this is what’s going to be almost every day in the future.

4. Describe how the students responded and participated.

- They were made to listen to music and was shown videos that the majority can relate. There
were a series of gasps and recognition from them. It was fulfilling to see how they are very
responsive to the instructional materials.

ANALYZE

1. What worked well during the activity using the resources/materials?

- I’d say the music. Many loves K-pop and anime soundtracks, which is a par of J-pop, and
those are a hit to today’s generation. The students hearing their favorites songs from the
two has caused them to giggle and cheer with delight.

2. What part can be improved?

- I think the pacing of the use of the instructional materials, meaning, every use of hem
should have and accurate timing. Like when using a music, each song to be played should
only be 30 seconds to maximize the time of the subject.
3. What would you have done differently? What would I change? What will make it better next
time?
- Not much to be honest. I was quite proud of the instructional materials used because I
worked my hardest trying to utilize them. But probably the contents of my PowerPoint. It
should be more creative than what was now.

4. How does this connect with that you know about selecting and using instructional materials?
- When selecting instructional materials, always make sure that it is direct to the point, direct
to the lesson you will deliver. Don’t put too much of distractions or add-ons, otherwise it
would distract the focus of the students.

REFLECT

1. How ready am I in selecting and developing resources/instructional materials in the teaching-

learning process?
- On the scale of 1-10, I would say a 7, because I think I still have a lot to learn especially in the
accuracy of them, of my content. Although in what I did, I could say it was pretty effective
since it created an atmosphere of interest among the students.

2. What do I still need to learn to select and develop resources/instructional materials in teaching
effectively?
- What I still need to learn is to not overdo it. There are some of my instructional materials,
like the content of my PowerPoint presentation, that’s overdone and it kind of went away
from the discussion, like it was a bit of a distraction.

3. What can I do to learn more about and practice the use of resources and instructional
materials?
- Probably to watch more videos, learn from articles or ask some advices from my resource
teacher. They are the ones that has more experience in that field than me, so it is just
reasonable to ask advices from them.

WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

OBSERVE
1. Doing this episode on selecting and using resources/instructional materials, what
problematic situation/challenges/area of improvement did I find?
- The problem I find dominant here is the lack. Lack of more possible instructional materials
to be used like visual aid related. It lacks a sense of traditional teaching which I think from
time to time, students should not forget.
REFLECT

2. List at least three sources that you have read about this problem/challenge/area of
improvement:

Resource or reference about the topic Key points/findings in what I read

https://www.techsling.com/the-significance-of- Traditional education offers active
traditional-education-in-todays-date/ learning opportunities
On what theories/principles can this problem be anchored?
- I’d say constructivism learning theory because here, students actually create their own
learning based on their previous experiences. Which means that the traditional way of
education, say for example, taking down notes, would allow students to be patient and do a
bit of hard work. And they would look back on this experience in the future and use it as a
learning and apply it to wherever they may be someday.

3. What do I hope to achieve to address the challenge/area of improvement? What change do

I want to achieve?
- I want to incorporate bit of traditional learning time to time to give students a sense of a
hard worked learning and not just a hard work of clicking pictures on every topic they see on
the board.

PLAN
4. What strategies/solutions/means can I employ to improve the situation/solve the problem?
- Probably by making students take down notes manually using notebook and ballpen in one
of the lessons I would deliver.

ACT
5. If you will conduct action research, what will be the title? (Base this on your answers in nis.
1-3).
- The title I have in mind is, “The relevance of traditional education in the technological era”.
