At the end of this episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of a school
environment that is safe, secure and is supportive learning.
1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent Practices that:
o keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction,
o maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
o address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students
3. As a basic part of the school's visual environment, display boards have. four general
purposes:
Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social
and psychological atmosphere of the school.
Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater confidence.
An example would be the display of students' outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners' growth and
progress.
Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through interactive
displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learning
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication.
Attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and durability.
OBSERVE, ANALYZE, REFLECT
To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, work my way through these steps:
1. Visit a school. Look into facilities and support learning areas in the campus, then
in the classroom.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
4. Reflect on the characteristics of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good school environment through any of these
As you move around the campus, observations forms are provided for you to
document your observations. It is advised that you read the entire worksheet before
proceeding to the school site. A good understanding of the activities and tasks to be
accomplished in the activity sheets will yield better learning results
Familiarized yourself with the different areas and facilities of the school. Check the
column to their availability. Give a brief description of those that are available, and say
how each will contribute to the students' learning and development.

To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work your way through these steps:
Step 1 Observe 3 groups of learners from different levels (preschool, elem., and high school).
Step 2 Describe each of the learners based on my observations.
Step 3 Validate my observation by interviewing the learners.
Step 4 Compare them in terms of their interests and needs.
Use the observation guide and matrices provided for you to document your
observations.
Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation report on the
provided space. Your teacher may also recommend another observation checklist if a more
detailed observation is preferred.
Physical
1. Observe their gross motor skills how they carry themselves, how they move, walk,
and run, go up the stairs, etc.
2. Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth?
3. How about their fine motors skills? Writing, drawing, etc.
Social
1. Describe how they interact with teachers and other adults.
2. Note how they also interact with peers. What do they talk about? What are their
concerns?
Emotional
1. Describe the emotional disposition or temperament of the learners. (happy, sad,
easily cries, mood-shifts
2. How do they express their wants/needs? Can they wait?
3. How do they handle frustrations?
4. Describe their level of confidence as shown in their behavior. Are they self-conscious?
Cognitive
1. Describe their ability to use words to communicate their ideas. Note their language
proficiency.

ACTIVITY 3.1
Observing differences among learner’s gender, needs, strengths, interest,
and experiences; and differences among learner’s linguistics, cultural, socio-
economic, religious backgrounds and difficult circumstances.
The learners’ differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect the
quality of teaching and learning. This activity is about observing and gathering data to
find out how student diversity affects learning.
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these
steps:
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (Beginning of the day,
class time, recess, etc.)
Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and
social and cultural diversity.
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom.
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that
she uses in dealing with diversity in the classroom.
Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners' interactions. The
observation form is provided for me to document my observations.
An Observation Guide for the Learners' Characteristics
1. Find out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial
groups, religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
During class:
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students
interact with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups that interact
more with the teacher than others.
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do
they behave and interact differently?
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with
or compete against each other?
4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most
help?
5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher’s question, do the
classmates try to help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher
will call them instead?
Outside class:
1. How do the students group themselves outside class? Homogeneously, by age?
by gender? by racial or ethnic groups? By their interests? Or are the students in
mixed social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
Circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected
the learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.
Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse
students due to the following factors:
● Gender, including LGBT
● Language and cultural differences
● Differences in religion
● Socio-economic status

The model helps the teacher look into every aspect in the learner's environment
to understand his behavior. The teacher's important role is not to replace what is
missing at home (if any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that
welcomes and nurtures families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the
family and the community to bring out the best in every learner.
Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations.
May be warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.
Authoritative. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. Have
clear and reasonable expectations and limits for their children. Treat children
with respect and warmth. Make children understand consequence of their
behavior.
Children of:
Authoritarian Parents: are often unhappy, fearful, withdrawn, inhibited,
hostile and aggressive. They have low self-esteem and difficulty with peers.
Permissive Parents: believe that their parents do not care for them. They are
often impulsive, aggressive and lack self-control; may they have low levels of
independence and responsibility.

Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that
the teacher use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive on task and
academically productive in class.
Importance of Effective Classroom Management
● increases chance of student success
● paves the way for the teacher to engage students in learning
● helps create an organized classroom environment
● increases instructional time
● creates consistency in the employment of rules and regulations
● aligns management strategies with school wide standards
● decreases misbehavior in the classroom
● gives student boundaries as well as consequences
1. Personal Classroom Management consists of managing your own self to ensure order
and discipline in your class. It includes:
1.1 voice
1.2 personal grooming
1.3 attendance
1.4 punctuality
1.5 personal graciousness

Reflect
As a future teacher, reflect on the observations then answer the given question.
From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such
definition of total learning outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called
school. Schools are formal institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are
the learners and the teachers. Basic education in the Philippines is under the
Department of Education or DepEd and the recommended curriculum is the K-12 or
Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic education schools offering
kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10, Junior High
School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.
What are the salient features of the K to12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It
is a curriculum that:
1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of
contextualized lessons and addition of issues like disaster preparedness,
climate change and information and of communication technology (ICT) are
included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and values,
attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject.
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main
language in studying and learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will
become ready for higher level skills.
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a
spiral progression where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they
study the complex ones in the next grade level. The progression of topics
matches with the developmental and cognitive skills. This process strengthens
the mastery and retention.
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education
in Grade 12 will be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of
careers will be defined when they go to Grade 11 and 12.
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner
will be ready to embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall
that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in
the country.
A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects,
gadgets, laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement
the curriculum. This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the
lesson plan, an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or
end of the lesson. The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned
Curriculum. Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates
accomplishment of learning outcomes.
However, there are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not
written, nor deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include
peer influence, the media, school environment, the culture and tradition,
natural calamities and many more. This curriculum is called Hidden
Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.
So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with
the school curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic
education? Teachers then should be multi talented professionals who:
know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
write the curriculum to be taught
plan the curriculum to be implemented;
initiate the curriculum which is being introduced;
innovate the curriculum to make it current and updated;
implement the curriculum that has been written and planned; and
evaluate the written, planned and learned curriculum.

LEARNING EPISODE 10: THE INSTRUCTIONAL CYCLE
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME
These are the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
1. Learning is an active process.
2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning.
4. Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information.
6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students' everyday life.
7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated
bits of information.
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the
Department of Education promotes Standards-and Competency-Based teaching with its
K to 12 Curriculum Guide. The Technical Education Skills Development Authority
(TESDA) has been ahead of DepEd and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in
the practice of Competency Standards-Based teaching and Assessment. CHED requires
all higher education institutions in the country to go outcome-based education (OBE) in
its CHED Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE
applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to competency-based and
standards-based teaching and learning in the Kto12 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs)
and in turn the Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning
outcomes. In other words, in OBTL you first establish your intended learning outcomes
(lesson objectives). Then you determine which teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and
also the assessment tasks (ATS) you will have to use to find out if you attained your
ILO's.
In lesson planning, the ILOs are our lesson objectives, the TLA's are the activities
we use to teach and the AT's are the evaluation part.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery
learning of Benjamin Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE and OBTL
Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the
art of questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of
instruction.

LEARNING EPISODE 8: CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM
From a broad perspective, curriculum is defined as the total learning process and
outcomes as in lifelong learning. However, school curriculum in this course limits such
definition of total learning outcomes to confine to a specific learning space called
school. Schools are formal institutions of learning where the two major stakeholders are
the learners and the teachers. Basic education in the Philippines is under the
Department of Education or DepEd and the recommended curriculum is the K-12 or
Enhanced Basic Education Curricula of 2013. All basic education schools offering
kindergarten (K) elementary (Grades 1 to 6) and Secondary (Grades 7-10, Junior High
School and Grades 11 to 12, Senior High School) adhere to this national curriculum as a
guide in the implementation of the formal education for K to 12.
What are the salient features of the K to12 Curriculum? Here are the features. It
is a curriculum that:
1. strengthens the early childhood education with the use of the mother tongue.
2. makes the curriculum relevant to the learners. The use of
contextualized lessons and addition of issues like disaster preparedness,
climate change and information and of communication technology (ICT) are
included in the curriculum. Thus, in-depth knowledge, skills and values,
attitude through continuity and consistency across every level and subject.
3. builds skills in literacy. With the use of Mother Tongue as the main
language in studying and learning tools from K to Grade 3, learners will
become ready for higher level skills.
4. ensures unified and seamless learning. The curriculum is designed in a
spiral progression where the students learn first the basic concepts, while they
study the complex ones in the next grade level. The progression of topics
matches with the developmental and cognitive skills. This process strengthens
the mastery and retention.
5. gears up for the future. It is expected that those who finish basic education
in Grade 12 will be ready for college or tech voc careers. Their choice of
careers will be defined when they go to Grade 11 and 12.
6. nurtures a fully developed youth. Beyond the K to 12 graduate the learner
will be ready to embark on different career paths for a lifetime. You will recall
that a school curriculum is of many types for the Kindergarten to Grade 12 in
the country.
A curriculum that has been planned, and taught needs materials, objects,
gadgets, laboratory and many more that will help the teacher implement
the curriculum. This is referred to as the Supported Curriculum.
In order to find out if the teacher has succeeded in implementing the
lesson plan, an assessment shall be made. It can be done in the middle or
end of the lesson. The curriculum is now called the Assessed Curriculum.
The result of the assessment when successful is termed as Learned
Curriculum. Learned curriculum whether small or big indicates
accomplishment of learning outcomes.
However, there are unplanned curriculum in schools. These are not
written, nor deliberately taught but they influence learning. These include
peer influence, the media, school environment, the culture and tradition,
natural calamities and many more. This curriculum is called Hidden
Curriculum or Implicit Curriculum.
So what will be the roles and responsibilities of the teacher in the relations with
the school curriculum, specifically in the K to 12 or the enhanced curriculum for basic
education? Teachers then should be multi talented professionals who:
know and understand the curriculum as enumerated above;
write the curriculum to be taught
plan the curriculum to be implemented;

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE
11
Utilizing Teaching-Learning
FS 1 11 Resources and ICT
With the lightning speed by which technology is evolving, and now with 4.0, technology
continues to be an ever-significant part of the learning environment. This episode provides an
opportunity for students to examine a Learning Resource Center or Multi-Media Center and
learn about its collection, services, equipment, observe how a teacher utilizes technology for
instruction and explore resources in the virtual leaning environment. Students will analyze and
reflect on how technology, including artificial intelligence, supports the teaching-learning
process.
UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers Version 3 (ICT CFT v3, 2018)
1. A school usually sets up a center that will provide valuable support to the teaching-
learning process. Over the years the name of this center has evolved. Some of the
names are Audiovisual Center, Media and Technology Resource Center, Teaching-
Learning Technology Department, or Simply Learning Resource Center.
2. With the swift development of ICT, the natural outcome was the ever-expanding
interface between the traditional library and ICT both in terms of hardware and
software systems and applications.
5. Schools may have different set-ups when it comes to a Learning Resource Center
(LRC). Some have replaced the term library with LRC. Some have a separate library,
LRC, and Audio Visual or Media Center. Some only have the LRC both for teachers
and students. Still some have combined their learning resource centers with maker
spaces.
6. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio-visual and ICT
resources to support the teaching-learning process
7. The goals of the Center may include orienting and training teachers in the use of
audiovisual and ICT resources, working with teachers and administrators in
producing instructional materials, making available useful resources to the students,
teachers, and the school community.
8. In order to support the philosophy and aims of the school, the Center must fulfill the
following functions: center of resources, laboratory of learning, agent of teaching,
service agency, coordinating agency, recreational reading center, and a link to other
community resources.
Technology Integration
The Technology Integration Matrix provides a comprehensive framework for you to
define and evaluate technology integration. It will provide you direction and guide you in the
process of achieving effective teaching with technology. The teacher's integration of technology
in instruction can be described as progressing in 5 levels: entry, adoption, adaptation, infusion
and finally transformation.
The teacher also works at creating a learning environment that encourages and enables
quality technology integration. The interdependent characteristics of the learning environment
are being active, collaborative, constructive, authentic, and goal-directed.
The Technology Integration Matrix connects the Levels of Technology Integration and
the Characteristics of the Learning Environment. Examine the matrix below. To make you
understand how integration is done in each of the levels and environment, explore the TIM
website and learn from the many interesting videos showing technology integration. Go to

Education 4.0
Shwab described the 4th wave of the industrial revolution. The unprecedented speed at
which technology is evolving has disrupted many vital processes that involve how we run
production, businesses and consequently how we teach and learn. The following Technology
trends have huge potential to transform the ways we teach and learn (UNESCO, 2018):
1. Open Educational Resources (OER). OERs are materials that can be used for
teaching and learning that do not require payment of royalties nor license fees. There is an
abundance of OERs in the form of textbooks course materials, curriculum maps, streaming
videos, multimedia apps, podcasts, and many others. They can have a significant impact on
education as they are made available and easily accessible in the internet. Be sure to explore
them to help you work on this episode
2. Social Networks. Social networks have revolutionized the way we interact, learn
about things and share information. Sites and apps such as facebook, twitter, Instagram provide a
virtual venue for teachers and learners to work together interact among themselves and with
other classrooms locally and globally.
3. Mobile Technologies. Filipinos are one of the most active on the internet, and also one
who sends the most number of text messages per day. This indicates the high number of mobile
device users. These devices can also be used as a learning tool by allowing teachers and students
more opportunities to learn inside and even outside the classroom.
4. The Internet of Things. IoT is a system of computing mechanisms that become built-
in into many everyday things, that allow sending and receiving data through the internet. A lot of
things have turned "smart." We have smart cars that can navigate on its own. Smart houses that
monitor temperature and light. Smart TVs that interface with the internet. Watches that send our
vital signs to our doctors. All of these development can influence the way we teach and learn.
5. Artificial Intelligence. Commonly, artificial intelligence is associated when computers
or machine simulate thinking and behaviors of humans such as talking, learning and solving
problems. Virtual assistants such as Siri, Alexa, Bixby and Google assistant are near samples of
Al. Among others, uses of Al in education can be in the areas of gamification and adaptive
instruction for learners with special needs.
6. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. VR is a simulation of an environment by a
computer program that allows a person to visit and experience the environment virtually. In AR,
images from computer programs interlay with the actual views of the real-word, resulting in an
extended, expanded, or altered view of a real-world environment. In education, among others,
VR and AR programs and apps allow more exciting ways of seeing and experiencing things that
add to the motivation and engagement of learners.
7. Big Data. Through the billions of interactions and transactions are done electronically,
and through the internet, an enormous amount of data is generated and stored. The challenge is
how to make sense of this data, through analytics and research, possibly answer pertinent
questions about how to make teaching and learning most effective.
8. Coding. Coding is a skill necessary to create computer software, apps, and websites.
Today, there are learning programs that introduce coding activities as early as kindergarten.
Robotics programs in the elementary and secondary programs introduce and hone the skills of
young learners. Coding helps learners develop novel ways of exploring and trying out ideas,
especially when done with problem or project-based learning approaches.
9. Ethics and privacy protection. We have repeatedly heard about how quickly
technology is changing and impacting our lives. Through all this, it is crucial to ensure that
human values and principles govern or guide our use of technology. Ethical practices that protect
the rights of every person need to be upheld.

Massive Open On-line Courses (MOOCs) are online courses open to a big group of
people. Below are the basic information about MOOCS. Let us focus on each word:
Massive
MOOCs are on-line courses designed for large number of participants, usually
larger than the number of students that can fit a regular classroom. There can be
hundreds or even be a thousand students or more.
Open
Online
Course
The MOOC course offers a full course experience including
Educational content. May include video, audio, text, games, simulations, social media
and animation
Facilitation interaction among peers. Builds a learning community through opportunities
to interact
Some interaction with the teacher or academic staff
Activities/tasks, tests, including feedback. Participants are provided with some feedback
mechanism. Can be automatically generated like quizzes, feedback from peers or the
teacher.
Some kind of (non-formal) recognition options. It includes some kind of recognition like
badges or certificate of completion. A formal certificate is optional and most likely has to
be paid for.

own learning. Episode #13 will be focused on Assessment of Learning. When teachers have done
everything they can to help learners attain the intended learning outcome/s, teachers subject their students
to assessment for grading purposes. This is referred to as assessment of learning which is also known as
summative assessment.
Episode #13 will be focused on 1) assessment of learning in the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective
domains with the use of traditional and non-traditional assessment tasks and tools, 2) asssessment of
learning outcomes in the different levels of cognitive taxonomy; 3) construction of assessment items with
content validity; 4) Table of Specifications; 5) Portfolio, 6) Scoring Rubrics, 6) The K to 12 Grading
System and 7) Reporting Student’s Performance.

Activity 13.3 Observing the Use of Non-traditional Assessment Tools and Scoring Rubrics
There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools.
Authentic/non-traditional/alternative assessment tools measure learning outcomes like
performance and product.
These performance task and product are assessed by the used of scoring rubric.
A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student’s work that includes descriptions of levels of
performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013)
The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products.
There are two types of rubrics - analyze and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each
criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole.
For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
For the holistic view of a p[roduct ior performance, the holistic rubric will do.
A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is rated, the
rating scale and a description of the levels of performance.
OBSERVE
Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the assessment tool
used by the teacher.
With teacher’s permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.
Study the assessment tool and accomplish the Observation Sheet.
Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?
Which type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use - analytic or holistic?
1. Product -
2. Performance

Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A Global Teacher of the 21st Century!
In 2013, a Global Status Index was determined by Varkey GEMS Foundation and
revealed significant findings. There were 21 countries surveyed which represented the major
continents of the world. In most countries that participated, it was found out that like the
Philippines, teaching is the most sought profession. It was comparable to being a social worker,
librarians, nursing and even doctors. Majority of the parents asked, answered that they encourage
their children to become teachers. To them, teaching is one of the most respected and trusted
professions.
However, with the change in global landscape, the 21 st century teachers must have the
competence to address the new learning environment, the new learning contents, the process of
learning and how these are facilitated and the new types of learners.
Hence, we need the new type of teachers, a glocal 21st century Filipino teacher.
(Global Teacher Status Index p. 123 Teaching Profession)
While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world, in
our country, teaching in the public schools requires six hours of actual teaching that
includes administrative work as such as management of learning per day. The work
such management of learning. Two hours of the working day is allotted to
administrative work such as scoring and recording learners’ outputs, making reports,
filling forms, preparing for the next day's activity and performing other administrative
tasks. The previous Episode on the teacher, reminded us of the qualities and
competencies mentioned earlier. The teacher should be multi-literate, multi-cultural,
multi-talented, innovative and creative. The future Filipino like you shall act locally but
think globally.
"Teach local, reach global" means that the teacher brings diverse experiences in
the classroom with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global society.
