EPISODE 1

THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Intended learning outcome

 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.

The Learning Essentials

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

2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning


environment. They help in building and establishing the school culture. These boards
become one way for everyone to learn about the vision-mission, goals, and values that
the school upholds.

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.

neighborhood

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.

2.  Baumrind's Parenting Styles


Authoritarian. Parents- are very firm with their children and expect unwavering
and unquestioning obedience. Rules are set by parents and misbehavior is met
with withdrawal of affection, physical punishment or threats

Permissive. Parents are not firm or controlling. They have few expectations.
May be warm and caring but appear to be uninvolved and uninterested.

Rejecting-Neglecting. Parents are disengaged from children. Neither


demanding nor responsive to children. Provide no structure, supervision, support
or guidance.

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.

Rejecting-Neglecting Parents: are found to be the least competent in their


over-all functioning and adjustment.

Authoritative Parents: are socially competent, self-reliant, and have greater


ability to show self-control. They have higher self-esteem and are better
adjusted.

LEARNING EPISODE 8: CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting;


 describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning,
implementing lessons through different strategies and assessment of learning
outcomes; and
 analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching
strategies and assessment.

The Learning Essentials

School Curriculum: What is this about?

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.

 The enhanced curriculum K to12 curriculum is the Recommended


Curriculum. It is to be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act
10533.
 When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency
standards of the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It
reflects the substance of RA 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
2013. In the teacher's class it is the lesson plan. A lesson plan is a written
curriculum in miniscule.
 What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is
putting life to the written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught
Curriculum. The guidance of the teacher is very crucial.

 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 9: PREPARING FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 identify the teaching-learning practices that apply or violate the principles of
teaching learning
 determine the guiding principles on lesson objectives/learning outcomes applied
in instruction;
 judge if lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes are SMART;
 determine whether or not the intended learning outcomes are achieved at the
end of the lesson;
 observe the teaching methods used by the Resource Teacher; and
 differentiate the different methods of teaching.

The Learning Essentials

These are the time-tested principles of teaching and learning:


1. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning
outcomes
2. Learning is an active process. "What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember
what I do, I understand."
3. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas. Students are given
the opportunity to connect what they learn with other concepts learned, with
real world experiences and with their own lives.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.
A teaching method consists of systematic and orderly steps in the teaching-
learning process. It is the practical realization or application of an approach. All methods
of teaching can be classified either as deductive (direct) or inductive (indirect).

LEARNING EPISODE 10: THE INSTRUCTIONAL CYCLE
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of
teaching strategies.
 determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with
outcome-based teaching and learning.
 identify the Resource Teacher's questioning and reacting techniques.
 outline a lesson in accordance with outcome based teaching-learning.

The Learning Essentials

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.

These are the types of questions that teachers ask.

Types of Questions that Teachers As

1. Factual /Convergent/Closed /Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions


With one acceptable answer

2. Divergent /Open-ended/High-level /Higher- Open-ended; has more than one acceptable


order/Conceptual answer

a. evaluation
b. inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked it up,
she was all smiles. What can you infer about
Liz?
c. comparison

d. application

e. problem-solving

3. Affective e.g. How do you feel?

These are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:
1. Providing acceptance feedback
2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/ expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as "okay", "right

LEARNING EPISODE 8: CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 identify the different curricula that prevail in the school setting;


 describe how the teacher manages the school curriculum by planning,
implementing lessons through different strategies and assessment of learning
outcomes; and
 analyze if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, to teaching
strategies and assessment.

The Learning Essentials

School Curriculum: What is this about?

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.

 The enhanced curriculum K to12 curriculum is the Recommended


Curriculum. It is to be used nationwide as mandated by Republic Act
10533.
 When the curriculum writers began to write the content and competency
standards of the K to 12 Curriculum it became a Written Curriculum. It
reflects the substance of RA 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
2013. In the teacher's class it is the lesson plan. A lesson plan is a written
curriculum in miniscule.
 What has been written in a lesson plan has to be implemented. It is
putting life to the written curriculum, which is referred to as the Taught
Curriculum. The guidance of the teacher is very crucial.

 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

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 identify the application of some guiding principles in the selection and use of
teaching strategies.
 determine whether or not the lesson development was in accordance with
outcome-based teaching and learning.
 identify the Resource Teacher's questioning and reacting techniques.
 outline a lesson in accordance with outcome based teaching-learning.

The Learning Essentials

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.

These are the types of questions that teachers ask.

Types of Questions that Teachers As

1. Factual /Convergent/Closed /Low-level Who, What, Where, When questions


With one acceptable answer

2. Divergent /Open-ended/High-level /Higher- Open-ended; has more than one acceptable


order/Conceptual answer

a. evaluation
b. inference e.g. When the phone rang and Liz picked it up,
she was all smiles. What can you infer about
Liz?
c. comparison

d. application

e. problem-solving

3. Affective e.g. How do you feel?

These are also some of the reacting techniques that teachers use:
1. Providing acceptance feedback
2. Providing corrective feedback
3. Giving appropriate and sincere praise
4. Repeating the answer
5. Explaining the answer/ expanding the answer
6. Rephrasing the question
7. Asking follow up questions
8. Redirecting questions to other pupils
9. Soliciting student questions
10. Encouraging through non-verbal behavior
11. Criticizing respondent for his/her answer
12. Scolding for misbehavior or for not listening
13. Overusing expressions such as "okay", "right

UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers Version 3 (ICT CFT v3, 2018)

The Information and Communications Technology Competency Framework for Teachers


(ICT
CFT) version 3 is a comprehensive framework guide teachers' development on the effective and
appropriate use of ICT in education. It highlights what teachers should know and do clustered in
six aspects, namely: 1. Understanding ICT in Education, 2. Curriculum and Assessment, 3.
Pedagogy, 4. Application of Digital Skills, 5. Organization and administration, and 6. Teacher
Professional Learning.
Similar to the PPST, the ICT CFT also articulated competencies in levels which guide
teachers as they develop their 1CT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to Level 2,
Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission on Higher
Education Teacher Education Curricula (2017) includes the UNESCO ICT CFT so most likely
you have tackled this in your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes.
It will be good to review the UNESCO ICT CFT v3 framework as you work in this
episode. The activities here are meant for you to observe, analyze and reflect about the
competencies discussed in the framework. (Access it at
https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/pluginfile.php/360820/mod_resource/content/2/UNESCO
%20ICT%20Competency%20Framework%20V3.pdf)

The Learning Resource Center

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

Evaluation of ICT Resources


The world wide web is like an endless network of information, ever-expanding and
almost limitless. Electronic resources come in different forms like websites, web quests, blogs,
social network sites, on-line courses, a wide range of tools, and so many forms of apps.
As a future teacher, one of the skills that will be most useful for you is the ability not only
to search for information but to make decisions, as to which ones you will take and use and
which ones you will put aside. Aim to develop your skills in evaluating internet resources. You
will be able to choose the best resources that will help you attain your teaching-learning
objectives.

Below is a set of criteria which you can use to evaluate resources:

1. Accuracy. The resource material comes from a reliable source and is accurate, free from
error and is up-to-date.
2. Appropriateness. The resource is grade/level-appropriate. The content matches what is
needed by the teacher.
3. Clarity. The resource clearly addresses the instructional goals in mind.
4. Completeness. The content is complete. It has all the information needed to be able to use
them.
5. Motivation. The resource is engaging and rewarding to learners. It will encourage the
active participation of the learners.
6. Organization. The resource is logically sequenced. It clearly indicates which steps should
be taken. The procedures or processes flow smoothly.

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.

STUDY 1 EPISODE Assessment As Learning
FS 1 12 (Formative Assessment)
SPARK Your Interest
Assessment is an essential part of the instructional cycle. The instruction cycle consist of:
1) setting the intended learning outcome/s, 2) selecting a teaching methodology, strategy and
activity that are aligned to the learning outcome and topic which are developmentally-
appropriate to the learners and 3) assessment itself. Assessment is the part of instructional cycle
that determines whether or not the intended learning outcome has been attained and so
necessarily, the assessment task must be aligned to the intended learning outcome.
In lesson on assessment, we can speak of assessment for learning, assessment of learning
and assessment as learning.
This episode will dwell on assessment for learning and assessment as learning.
Assessment for learning is referred to as formative assessment while assessment as learning is
referred to as self-assessment.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of formative assessment, and
 explain the importance of formative assessment.

DISCOVER the Learning Essentials

 In Outcome-based Teaching-Learning/Competency-based Teaching/Teaching by


 Objective, we ensure that the intended outcome/competency/objective is attained at the
end of the lesson and so while we are still in the process of teaching we do check learners'
understanding and progress.
 If we find out that the learners failed to understand prerequisite knowledge and skills, we
reteach until learners master them. This is called FORMATIVE assessment, assessment
while the learners are being formed or taught. It is assessment in the midst of instruction.
 Formative assessment is also referred to as assessment for learning. Assessment for
learning simply means we do assessment to ensure learning.
 We do not wait for the end of the lesson to find out if learners understood the lesson or
not because if it is only at the end of the lesson that we discover that the learners did not
understand the lesson, we have wasted so much time and energy teaching presuming that
everything was clear, only to find out at the end of the lesson that the learners did not
understand the lesson at all. This means that we have to reteach from the very beginning,
something that we could have saved ourselves from doing had we given time to find out
if the lesson was understood while still teaching.
 Assessment for learning encourages peer assessment.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of self-assessment; and
 explain the importance of self-assessment

The Learning Essentials

 Assessment as learning means assessment is a way of learning.


 It is the use of an ongoing self-assessment by the learners in order to monitor their own
learning.
 This is manifested when learners reflect on their own learning and make necessary
adjustments so that they achieve deeper understanding.
 Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning.
 It requires students to ask questions about their learning.
 It provides ways for students to use formal and informal feedback and self-assessment to
help them understand the next steps in learning
 It encourages self-assessment and reflection.

Observe a class and find out practices that reflect assessment as learning. Record your
observations.

Teacher My Observation

1. Did teacher provide opportunities


for the learners to monitor and reflect
on their own learning?

2. What are proofs that students were


engaged in self-reflection, self-
monitoring and self-adjustment?
3. Did students record and report their
own learning?

4. Did teacher create criteria with the


students for tasks to be completed or
skill to learned?

1. If the student is at the heart of all assessment, then all assessment should support student
learning. Do you agree? Why or why not?

SPARK Your Interest

Episode #12 dwelt on Assessment for Learning (formative assessment) and Assessment as Learning (self-
assessment). These refer to assessment that teachers do while still teaching and student’s assessing their
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

Activity 13.3 Observing the Use of Non-traditional Assessment Tools and Scoring Rubrics 

Resource Teacher:_________  Teacher’s Signature:__________  School:_____________

Grade/Year Level:__________  Subject Area: _______________  Date:_______________

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome


 Evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics

 REVISIT the Learning Essentials

 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.

Activity 13.4 Scrutinizing the Types and Parts of a Portfolio

Resource Teacher:  Teacher’s Signature:   School:


Grade/Year Level: Subject Area: Date:

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

 Evaluate a sample portfolio


 Distinguish among the 3 types of portfolio

DISCOVER the Learning Essentials


 A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work
accompanied by clear criteria for performance which prove student effort, progress of
achievement in a given area or course.
 A portfolio of student’s work is a direct evidence of learning. But it is not a mere collection of
student’s work. The student’s reflection must accompany each output or work.
 A portfolio is different from a work folder, which is simply a receptacle for all work, with  no
purpose to the collection.A portfolio is an intentional collection of work guided by learning
objectives.
 Effective portfolio systems are characterized by a clear picture of the student skills to be
addressed, student involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio, use of criteria to define
quality performance as a basis for communication, and self-reflection through which students
share what they think and feel about their work, their learning and about themselves.
 There are several types of portfolio depending on purpose. They are: 1) development or growth
portfolio, 2) best work or showcase or display portfolio, and 3) assessment/evaluation portfolio.

OBSERVE

1. Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio, if any. If there are, select one best portfolio
from what you examined.
2. If none, research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts.
3. Based on the sample portfolio given by your Resource Teacher/researched by you, accomplish
Observation Sheet #
4. Put a check in the right column.
 

What a Portfolio Includes

Elements of a Portfolio Missing?


Present?

1. Clear Objectives- The objectives of the lesson/unit/course are clear


which serve as bases for selection

2. Explicit guidelines for selection- What, when, where, how are


products/documented performances selected?

3. Comprehensible criteria- the criteria against which the portfolio is


graded must be understood by the learners.

4. Selective significant pieces- The portfolio, includes only the selected


significant materials.

5. Student’s reflection- There is evidence that students reflected on their


learning.

6. Evidence of student participation in selection of content of portfolio-


There is proof that students took part in the selection of the content of
the portfolio.
ANALYZE

1. With OBE in mind, which should be the basis for the selection of pieces of evidence to show that
what the student was supposed to learn was learned?

2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio. Based on the parts, under which type of portfolio does
this fall?

Elements of a                                Portfolio (Which type of portfolio?)

1.Cover Letter- “About the Author” and “What My Portfolio Shows About My Progress as a Learner”

2. Table of Contents with numbered pages

3. Entries-both core (required items) and optional items (chosen by students).

4. Dates on all entries to facilitate proof of growth over time.

5. Drafts of aural/oral and written products and revised revisions, i.e. (first drafts and corrected/revised
versions.)

6. Student’s Reflections

3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?

LEARNING EPISODE 14
THE TEACHER AS A PERSON AND AS A PROFESSIONAL

SPARKS Your interest

What is it really like to be a TEACHER? Why is being a TEACHER as one of the


most respected professionals in the Philippines? What makes a teacher differently than
any other profession? What characterize a teacher as a person and as a professional?
This episode will provide you a chance to observe teachers in their work place at
school in order to answer the questions asked.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 describe the personal qualities and competences of effective classroom teachers;
 enumerate the professional characteristics of practicing teachers observed as
based on the professional standards and code of ethics for the profession.

The Learning Essentials

"My Teacher, My Hero" was a banner during the World Teachers' Day celebration
in the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real heroes? What do you
think? Why?

My answer is YES! Here are my reasons.

Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers


To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve the
country just like any other hero. To be a teacher requires a lot of personal and
professional qualities. These qualities make an excellent Filipino teacher an exceptional
professional.
First, the teacher must have innate qualities or attributes that are exemplary and
are fitted to be teachers. These are natural tendencies or a person. Here are some of
the qualities and attributes that distinctly characterize a teacher.

Personal Qualities of Teachers and the Descriptors


Personal Qualities What the teacher IS and DOES
Lives with dignity that This teacher is honest, has integrity, self-respect and
exemplifies self- self-discipline. Likewise, respected by students,
respect, peers and the community.

Exhibits deep knowledge This teacher is mentally alert, makes correct decision,

across skills and values needed in order to teach. She/he
disciplines has the ability to learn new things, re-learn old
knowledge in new ways, and un-learn knowledge,
skills and values that are no longer applicable to
the current times.

Recognizes own strength This teacher sets high goals for himself/herself, but
with humility remains humble and willing to share success.
He/She is confident of doing task but does not
consider self to be better than others all the time.

situation and adjusts to different situations.

Demonstrates a natural This teacher volunteers tasks for others, always willing
action to work together to share, extends help willingly, accepts
with others responsibility, tolerant of other people, and gives
up time for the group.

Not everyone has these qualities, hence not everyone can be a good teacher. As the old saying
goes: “teachers are born but good teachers are both born and made”

Professional Competences of Filipino Teachers


Going to teacher training institutions and earning a teaching degree mean
developing a professional teacher like you. You can only become a professional teacher
if you earn a degree to teach in either elementary level or high school level. You should
also earn a license to teach by passing a licensure examination for teachers. While
studying in college you are learning the ropes of becoming a professional teacher. You
learn the content courses including the major or specialization and the professional
courses including the pedagogy courses. Your professional courses include experiential
learning courses that include Field Study 1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship.
These are important in your preparation to become professional teachers.
So what are the professional competencies that every teacher should have? You
will find these in the matrix that follow.
Professional Competencies of Filipino Teachers

So, it is not easy to become a professional teacher. The demand is great. A
qualified professional teacher then is like a HERO.
Now you are ready to identify if the enumerated characteristics are found among
the teachers you are going to observe.
There are two observation activities in this Episode. Activity l will identify the
Personal Characteristics of the Teacher and Activity 2 will identify the Professional

LEARNING EPISODE 15
TOWARDS TEACHING QUALITY: DEVELOPING A GLOCAL TEACHER
OF THE 21ST CENTURY
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)

TARGET YOUR INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 describe the personal qualities and competencies of a glocal classroom teachers


of the 21st century; and
 design a learner-centered classroom for the 21 st century learners with learning
spaces that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

FILIPIN0 GLOCAL TEACHER


A survey of the ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are three
major responsibilities of teachers. These are (1) Actual 'Teaching. (2) Management of
Learning and (3) Administrative Work.

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.
What
in the local communities impacts the larger community, as global citizens, the work
begins, where the teachers are, thus a "glocal" teacher.

Towards Quality Glocal Teachers


Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in the
21" century education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2) Financial,
economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, and (4) Civic and Health Literacy which
require:
1. Learning and Innovative skills.
2. Information, Media and Technology Skills
3. Life and Career Skills

More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can demonstrate
exemplary mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions relative to the following
characteristics:
1. Understands one's own cultural identify and rootedness
2. Knows and integrates global dimensions in the subject area
3. Engages learners in the learning processes
4. Uses real life local and global examples
5. Values the inputs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners
6. Models social responsibilities in local and global content
7. Encourages learners to find appropriate actions to improve local and global the
conditions, and
8. Creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations.

The Challenges of the Quality Glocal Teachers for the 21st Century

One of the major challenges of quality teachers 1s to "create a learning


environment that encourages creativity and innovation among learners. Win 1, comes
the management of learning in such environment. These are required skills for a global
teacher.
Majority of the current classrooms provide leaning spaces that can hardly
prepare the 21st century learners for the development of the 21st century skills.
Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a facilitator of
learning. Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they work on
interdisciplinary projects that cover several subject areas. Learning is no longer for
memorizing and recalling of information but on learning how to learn. Thus, classroom
designs should respond to the 21 st century learning. More so, quality teachers should be
changing their roles from teaching in isolation to co-teaching, team teaching and
collaboration with students and peers.
A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well as the
management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to address the
new roles or teachers.

How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the six elements
or a new classroom:
1. Flexibility of furniture and space
2. Collaborative learning
3. Facilitation of movement
4. Foster creativity
5. Use of technology
6. Provision of light and bright colors

With the classroom structure, a quality teacher should be able to manage


learning under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher should use effective
classroom management strategies that will ensure productive learning.
Quality teachers should manage learning in an enhanced classroom by seeing it
to it that learners are:
 organized,
 orderly,
 focused,
 attentive,
 on task, and
 are learning.

This will take much of your skill, experience and patience. The two important
factors that may affect learning management are the use of technology and the
diversity of learners.

LEARNING EPISODE 16
ON TEACHER’S PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
SPARK Your Interest

One thing asked of teacher applicants in the Department of Education is to write their
philosophy of education. This means that they have to write their concept of the nature of the
learner, how that learner learns and how that learner ought to live in order to live life
meaningfully. Based on these philosophical concepts, the teacher applicants describe how they
ought to relate to the learner, what to teach and how to teach so that the learner learns and lives
life happily and meaningfully.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 determine prevailing philosophies of education based on DepEd Vision and Mission


statements, core values and mandate, the K to 12 Curriculum Framework and Guide and
RA 10533;
 cite teacher's teaching behaviors and the philosophies of education on which these
behaviors are founded; and
 articulate my philosophy of teaching.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

We are beneficiaries of a rich philosophical heritage passed on to us by great thinkers of


the past and of the present. The way teachers relate to learners and the way they teach are
anchored on philosophies of education.
Basic documents such as the vision and mission statements, core values and mandate of
the Department of Education and the features of the K to 12 Curriculum as contained in Section
3 of RA 10533 and the K to 12 Curriculum Guide are manifestations or expressions of the
philosophies of education of the country. They state the standards and the outcomes of education
towards which all curricular activities and teaching-learning should be directed.
