PREFACE

This instructional material is designed to meet the needs of the students taking
Field Study 1. This serves as their instructional basis for their observation and other
related activities in this course.

Field Study 1 is a modified experiential course which aims to connect the


concepts and theories learnt in content and pedagogy subjects with the actual teaching-
learning process. In this course, students are guided in their engagement for them to
appropriately deliver specific tasks required.

The content of this module is primarily anchored on the Experiential Learning


Handbook, a project of the Teacher Education Council shadowing CMO No. 30, s.2004,
CMO No. 52, s.2007, and CMO No. 27 s. 2017 aligned with the PPST designed in the
context of the present flexible learning modalities delivery system in teaching and
learning. Further, the presentation of activities is sequenced following the 4As principle –
Activate, Acquire, Apply, and Assess. The “Activate” section is where students discuss
or write about what they already know that is related to the lesson or activity. The
“Acquire” section is where the new information is presented. The “Apply” section allows
the students to practice what they have learned. The last phase of each episode is the
“Assess” section. This part tests how much the students have learned and determines if
there are gaps in understanding. The episodes in each unit have been streamlined to meet
the rigors, demands, challenges and limitations in teaching and learning brought about by
the COVID-19 pandemic.

This FS 1 material provides and guides students with the learning experiences on
flexible learning modalities and possibilities of exploring actual classrooms when the
situation warrants. The experiential learning experiences will be packaged together with
activities for authentic experiences of students on the real world of teaching and learning.

given enough avenue to observe learner’s behavior, motivation, teacher’s strategies of
teaching, classroom management, assessment in learning among others. Observations on
these areas shall be given emphasis.

Further, the students are instructed to note down the topics being presented to the
class for them to look for a possible website that could support further in facilitating the
teaching-learning process.

Objectives:

This instructional kit aims for the Field Study 1 students to:

1. analyze how the teaching and learning process should be conducted


considering the different phases of a child’s development;
2. identify the different teaching approaches and strategies to address the
multiple intelligences of learners; and
3. develop and utilize instructional materials appropriate for a chosen
subject area, particularly for remote teaching and learning.

Instruction to the Students:

Consider this manual as your tool. Aside from the worksheets, this instructional
material has other exercises to be answered. These activities should be answered while
doing the observation in your cooperating school. Be diligent enough in accomplishing
your tasks and mindfully jot down your observations as these will form part in your
Course Portfolio, which will be your output for this course.

Remember to bring your module each time you conduct your Field Study 1
observation. Make your Field Study 1 an avenue for a worthwhile learning experience.
All the best!

Captured by; Yours truly at Oton National High School Em-Tech Class: Mr. Jonathan M. Mapa

ACQUIRE Let’s learn the following concepts.

Teaching Aids

These are materials that are used to aid in the transference of information from
one to another. For example, a teacher may use instructional materials to aid in the
learning of subject matter for a class. These instructional materials could include:

 Power Point Presentations


 Books, handouts, worksheets, video clips, audio file
 Articles
 Realia
 Materials for project development

The list goes on and on. Some call them instructional materials, while others
may call them learning or teaching aids.

Instructional Materials

 Used to facilitate teaching and learning


 Influence the content and procedures of learning
 Used as a resource for ideas and activities for learning

Field Study 1: Observations of Teaching and Learning in Actual School Environment


36
Importance of Instructional Materials

 Essential classroom tools, physically or virtually


 Allows engagement, interaction, and collaboration among learners
 Augment and enrich the lesson

Advantages of Using Instructional Materials

 Make the classroom lively, engaging, and interactive


 Promote critical thinking if well-selected and implemented
 Encourage students to do something in consonance with the target
outcomes

Disadvantages of Using Instructional Materials

 Can be time consuming in terms of preparation


 May cost a lot of money
 May be irrelevant

Answer the following questions based on the virtual class you
ASSESS
have observed.
1. In your opinion/observation, what might have prompted the teacher to
choose those teaching aids?

I think the teacher chose to use the projector and PowerPoint presentations to
boost engagement and productivity in the class. In an effort to be more
creative and promote class engagement, the teacher employed visual aids and
let the students express their comprehension on the board. The instructor can
make the most of her class time by going over all of the necessary material
with the students with the aid of these teaching aids.

2. If you were the teacher, what would you have similarly? What would you have
done differently?

I don't think the instructor has to change her strategy, resources, or


instruction techniques. I like how she offers the information since it
is clear and organized. I think I would lead the activity where she
asks the students to share their opinions on the quotations or the
situation if I were a teacher. Understanding the students' perspectives
on the topic is essential before moving on to the discussion's main
objective.

Congratulations for making it this far!

LEARNING At the end of the episode, the students must have:


OUTCOMES
1. selected a topic and developed a slide presentation to
support the learning activity on the topic;
2. tried out the presentation; and
3. written a narrative, pointing out the strengths and
weaknesses of the presentation.

ACQUIRE Let’s learn the following concepts.

Tips for Effective PowerPoint Presentations

Fonts
 Use font size no smaller than 24 point.
 Clearly label each screen. Use a larger font (35-45 points) or different color
for the title.
 Avoid italicized fonts as they are difficult to read quickly.
 No more than 6-8 words per line
 For bullet points, use the “6 x 6 Rule.” One thought per line, with no
more than 6 words per line and no more than 6 lines per slide
 Use dark text on light background or light text on dark background.
However, dark backgrounds sometimes make it difficult for some people
to read the text.
 Do not use all caps (except for titles).

To test the font, stand back six feet from the monitor and see if you can read the slide.

Graphics and Design


 Keep the background consistent and subtle.
 Use only enough text when using charts or graphs to explain the
concept.
 Clearly label the graphic.
 Keep the design clean and uncluttered. Leave empty space around the text
and graphics.
 Use quality clipart and use it sparingly. The graphic should relate to and
enhance the topic of the slide.
 Try to use the same style graphics throughout the presentation (e.g.,
cartoons, photographs)
 Limit the number of graphics on each slide.
 Avoid flashy graphics and noisy animation effects unless they relate
directly to the slide.

Color
 Limit the number of colors on a single screen.
 Use no more than four colors on one chart.
 Check all colors on a projection screen before the actual presentation. They
may project differently than what appears on the monitor.

General Presentation
 Check the spelling and grammar.

Field Study 1: Observations of Teaching and Learning in Actual School Environment


41
 Do not read the presentation. Practice the presentation so you can speak
from bullet points. The text should be a cue for the presenter rather than a
message for the viewer.
 It is often more effective to have bulleted points appear one at a time, so the
audience listens to the presenter rather than reading the screen.
 Use a wireless mouse, or pick up the wired mouse, or a presenter so you
can move around as you speak.
 If the content is complex, print out the slides so the audience can take notes.
 Do not turn your back on the audience. Try to position the monitor so you
can speak from it.

ASSESS Answer the following questions based on the activity above.
1. What good features are present in your slide presentation?

Large Image
Direct to the point
There are only few words

2. If you were to revise/enhance your slide presentation, which aspect(s) would you
focus more on? Why?

If I were to revise or enhance the slide presentation, it should be the design and
the color because it should be match on the font or appealing to the eyes of the
audience. It would be really simple but enthusiastic slide presentation.

3. What difficulties, if any did you encounter in making the slide presentation? How did
you overcome them?

I find that having too much text on a slide presentation is the toughest
challenge. Nothing could be more dangerous to a presentation or less true. It's
important to interact with the audience and engage them in dialogue. You are
unneeded and the presentation is doomed if you are letting the slide show do
all the speaking.

You are almost there!

EPISODE 3 Online Learning

LEARNING At the end of the episode, the students must have:


OUTCOMES
1. observed a class virtually, keeping in mind the topic
being discussed;
2. surfed the net to find sites that support materials and/or
interactive programs; and
3. reflectively evaluated the material/program.
In the new normal teaching-learning, what are some websites
that you might consider helpful in facilitating learning in your

area of specialization. Enumerate those sites below, as well
as its general content.

Helpful Websites General Content


A Canva product designed exclusively for teachers, students,

NOTE: You may attach a screenshot of the sites and their contents so that the
reader and your teacher can have a clearer picture of those.

Field Study 1: Observations of Teaching and Learning in Actual School Environment


47
ACQUIRE Let’s learn the following fundamental concepts.

Educational Websites

Educational websites can include websites that have games, videos or topic
related resources that act as tools to enhance learning and supplement classroom
teaching. These websites help make the process of learning entertaining and attractive
to the student, especially in today’s age.

While there are many advantages of such websites, we also need to be aware of
the negatives. Students need to be guided properly. Without proper guidance, students
may find resources and content that are not reliable or do not align with the direction of
the teaching in class. Some websites are huge and offer a massive variety of games and
resources. Students may be easily distracted on such websites and end up spending
time on activities that are either below their level or do not complement or add to the
classroom teaching. Unrestricted access and freedom on the internet can be dangerous,
especially for younger students.

Considerations in Choosing a Website:

 Activities on the website should align to what is being taught in the


classroom and the academic level of the students.
 The website should be appropriate to the age of the students. Sites that
cater to a range of interests or learning styles are preferable.
 Websites should be safe (that have no adult ads or links), and have
reliable content.
 Use websites that are designed for classroom learning, i.e., allow the
teacher to monitor game scores, view progress, etc.

How to Introduce Websites in the Classroom:

 As you plan activities, consider the technology that is required.


 Think of creative ways in which you can incorporate these websites into
the learning process and supplement what you have already been
teaching.
 Guide the students.
 Ensure that you take steps to monitor their progress. If the students are
working at home, you may want to teach students to take screenshots to
show you the progress they are making.

Let the process be enjoyable and educational. It will work out best if you have
the support of parents as well as the school. A lot of parents monitor their children’s
internet usage, so, you may also want to provide an introductory
document to help them understand your goals.

What is Web-Based Instruction?

Web-based instruction has evolved from any number of computer-based


instructional methods, often referred to as Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI),
Computer-aided Instruction (CaI), Computer-Managed Instruction (CMI), Internet-
Based Instruction (IBI), or Web-Based Instruction (WBI), but collectively called
Computer-Based Education (CBE).

Why Use Web-Based Instruction?

There are a number of reasons why a teacher might choose to use Web- Based
Instruction, including:

 enhancing student learning;


 spending more time with students working in small groups or one- on-
one;
 reducing repetitive teaching tasks;
 reducing paper flow and management, and;
 providing improved instructional materials.

provided.

The entire educational system has changed as a result of technology. No


longer are we required to leave the house to attend class. All of this is now
possible thanks to online education. There are several advantages to online
learning. For instance, during COVID-19, when all educational institutions
were closed, students were given online instructions to continue their
studies. Without the ability to study online, all students' education during
COVID-19 would have come to an end. In the coming year, online
education will dominate the educational landscape.

EPISODE 1 Exploration on FS 1

LEARNING At the end of the module, the students must have:


OUTCOMES
1. described their views on flexible learning;
2. shared thoughts on the possibilities of field study course on
remote delivery; and
3. declared challenges and opportunities on the
implementation of the course in the new normal.
Copy & paste an image that would represent your understanding
of learners’ development and environment, teaching-learning
ACTIVATE processes, technology in the learning environment in the context
pandemic. Discuss what that image is all about in relation to the
three areas mentioned.

A student develops and learns in their surroundings. A student's environment is represented in


the classroom; if they are growing, they will study, participate, and apply what they have learned.
In the picture, students can be seen participating in the teacher's talk. The lesson or ideas the
instructor provides will be understood by the students, who will then let the teacher know how
well they understood it. The teacher and students converse ideas when teaching and learning.
Today's technology has a lot to offer both teachers and students. Teachers can properly and
successfully present their lessons by using a projector, laptops, and computers. Students can utilize
it to investigate topics that interest them and discover new facts.

ACQUIRE Research for the description of the following and in your point of
view, how it is being done in the new normal in terms of flexible
learning.

1. Learner’s development and environment

In order for learners to learn and develop, the correct culture and
environment must be created. It involves understanding in new
normal, the organization's present and future skill requirements as
well as how to foster a learning culture that encourages participation
in ongoing professional development.

2. Teaching- learning processes

The teacher and students have confronted previously unheard-of


difficulties. They acknowledge that the new normal for teaching and
learning is a fluid environment that can tolerate isolation, quarantine, and
other unpleasant concerns. However, as we have overcome these
challenges, we have also grown more ingenious, inventive, and
compassionate toward one another.

3. Technology in the learning environment

Technology has become the main resource for both students and teachers in
the modern world. With the use of technology, they may all communicate and
discuss their lesson. Due to the fact that it is present at all times while kids are
studying, technology will likewise be considered as a part of their
surroundings. Even while they are at home, students will discuss ideas with
their teachers. Face-to-face setup technology is still used in schools and aids
in the efficient and
successful learning and teaching of both teachers and pupils. Everyone's
surroundings always include technology, which is very advantageous

APPLY Write your thoughts on the possibility of field study course
utilizing flexible (remote, virtual) learning in the absence of face-
to-face mode of delivery, implementation like that of actual
classroom observation, actual classroom teaching etc. Scribble
your answer on the space provided.

Field study 1 is the first experiential course that will


place a future teacher in a real classroom setting where they
will be able to directly observe teachers as they implement the
educational theories, they have learned in the content and
pedagogy courses. Both online and in-person classes are
open to observation. I can see how the school balances
maintaining instruction with everyone's safety. Additionally, I
can watch my resource teachers to learn how they organize
their tasks, schedules, and activities to deliver courses
effectively. Every arrangement allows for observation, and
teaching is possible, then watching them is too.

ASSESS

1. What are the challenges and opportunities in your use of this module
modified in the context of pandemic?

This module helped me understand why we need to observe everything in


teaching environment, it helps me a lot to know more everything in teaching,
it guided me to the path that I will be. I answered this module based on my
own understanding and observation on my resource teacher. It really helps
me realized on how teaching is hard in this time of pandemic. It will help me
immerse myself in the future in teaching field.

2. What are the challenges and opportunities on the learners’ development and
environment (physical, social, mental, and emotional), teaching- learning
processes, technology in the learning environment considering the context of
the new normal?

They found it difficult to acclimate to the new normal. Unfamiliar surroundings,


which can occasionally interfere with their academic progress. A challenge for everyone
is technology, especially if they don't like it. It is challenging to implement instructional
methods that will work with the new teaching-learning configuration. However, all of
these mistakes have given teachers and students the chance to learn new things and
advance their abilities. As long as there are students and professors, the
teaching-learning process continues to be the same in the new normal. Their
surroundings will foster their growth and provide them with experiences that will serve
as a tool for success.

PERSONAL REFLECTIONS

While I’m observing in Grade 11 and 12, I realize that


classroom plays a big role in our lives. I look forward how
the students, study well in order to become successful
someday. This observation brings back me to my Senior High
years, when I talked, sleep, eat and laughed with my fellow
classmates and friends. It gives me more realization that
being a teacher is really hard, but when you are
compassionate and really love this job, it’s gives you more
memories not to leave the students behind. Gives you more
opportunities to teach them and become a person who will
they someday. Leaving the ONHS gives me teary eyed
because I learned a lot and it give me and idea on how I will
do my best being a best teacher someday and a role model to
my students in the future. An effective classroom atmosphere
is made up of a variety of distinct elements, all of which we
as instructors are responsible for establishing. The tactics I
think are crucial to creating a good classroom climate will be
covered in the reflection that follows, along with my
justifications.
