Demonstrating an Understanding of Research-Based Knowledge Principles of
Teaching And Learning

Resource Teacher:_______________ Teacher’s Signature:____________ School:____________

Grade/Year Level:_______________Subject:_______________________ Date:_____________

OBSERVE

Observe a class with the use of the principles of learning given in Revisit the Learning
Essentials. I will identify evidence of applications/violations of the principles of learning. I
can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.

What did the Resource Teacher do to apply

Principles of Learning
1. Effective learning begins with the setting of reads or make the students read the learning
clear and high expectations of learning
outcomes.
2. Learning is an active process.
3. Learning is the discovery of personal
meaning and relevance of ideas.
4. Learning is a cooperative and a
collaborative process. Learning is enhanced in students to work together. She also assigns
an atmosphere of cooperation and
collaboration.
the principle of learning
To apply this principle of learning, the teacher
objectives before starting the lesson.
The teacher ensures that the students are
engaged with the lesson by asking questions,
making the students read the lectures, giving
activities, and conducting recitations.
The teacher allows the students to give their
own opinions or ideas about the topic. She
also gives activities wherein the students can
share their thoughts in front of the class.
The teacher incorporates group projects,
discussions, and activities that require
tasks that necessitate teamwork and mutual
contribution.

 Learning Episode 4 Activity 4.2
Identifying Learning Outcomes That Are Aligned With Learning Competencies

Resource Teacher:_______________ Teacher’s Signature:____________ School:____________

Grade/Year Level:_______________Subject:_______________________ Date:_____________

OBSERVE

Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes were stated.
Determine if the learning outcome/s was/were achieved or not. Give evidence.

1. Write the learning outcomes stated in the lesson.

Learning Outcomes (SMART objectives?) Achieved

Yes No Yes No
1. Use listening strategies based on purpose,
familiarity with the topic and levels of difficulty
of short texts listened to. (EN7LC-II-a-6)2.
2. Extract information from the text listened to.
(EN7LC-II-a-6.1)
3. Appreciate the importance of different listening
strategies to everyday life.

2. Cite pieces of evidence that these learning outcomes were achieved.

The students listened to a song and was able to share their thoughts about its meaning.

2. The students listened as the teacher read a poem, titled “A Ballad of a Mother’s Heart”.
Then, they were able to answer questions about the poem and share their thoughts about its
meaning.

3. Students were able to finish activities about the lesson.

 Learning Episode 4 Activity 4.3
Distinguishing Between Inductive and Deductive Methods of Teaching

Resource Teacher:_______________ Teacher’s Signature:____________ School:____________

Grade/Year Level:_______________Subject:_______________________ Date:_____________

OBSERVE

I will observe one Resource Teacher with the use of this observation sheet. Using the guide
questions, I shall reflect on my observations and analysis.

Teacher-centered Student-centered
Did teacher lecture all the time? Were students involved in the teaching-learning
process? How? Or were they mere passive
No. the teacher manages her time by organizing recipients of instruction?
her time for every part of the lesson. She gives
time for the lecture, for throwing questions, and Yes, the students were involved in the teaching-
for activities. learning process. They frequently share their
own ideas and answer questions given by the
teacher.

Was the emphasis on the mastery of the lesson Was the emphasis on the students' application
or on the test? Prove. of the lesson in real life? Give proofs.

The emphasis was on the mastery of the lesson
because the teacher does not only provide
lectures that they should memorize for the test,
instead, she ensures that students are actively
engaging with it for better comprehension and
retention.
Yes, because the teacher presents real-life
examples or stories that demonstrate the
practical relevance of the topic, real-world
problems or scenarios related to the lesson
content, and give projects that require students
to apply the lesson's principles in real-life
contexts.

Was class atmosphere competitive? Why? Was class atmosphere collaborative? Why?

No. The teacher gives every student equal Yes. The teacher gives group activities and
opportunity to share their ideas. She also encourage everyone to participate.
conducts group activities where students can
work together instead of competing with each
other.
Did teacher focus only on one Did teacher connect lesson to other
discipline/subject? disciplines/subjects?

No, the teacher integrates other disciplines to Yes, she connects the lesson to different
the lesson such as Science, History, and discipline that share the same concepts, themes,
“Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao” or historical events.

What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:

a) constructivist-connected to past experiences of partners learners constructed new lesson

meanings,

During the discussion, the teacher asks the students about their past experiences and tries to relate
it to the new concept of the lesson.

b) inquiry-based

During the discussion, the teacher poses thought-provoking questions or presenting problems that
stimulate curiosity and encourage students to explore and seek answers.

c) developmentally appropriate-learning activities fit the developmental stage of children

The teacher gives activities appropriate to the age group of the students. Since the students are in
Grade 7, the teacher provides activities that are fun and exciting but also simple enough for them
to understand.

d) reflective

The teacher take time to reflect on her teaching practices, considering what worked well, what
didn't, and why. She was able to develop the teaching methods based on the learning styles of the
students.

e) inclusive - No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.

The teacher ensures that everyone is listening during the discussion and she gives the students
equal opportunities to share their ideas.

f) collaborative-Students worked together.

The teacher gives group activities where students can work, brainstorm, and learn from each other.

g) integrative - Lesson was multidisciplinary - e.g. In Science, Math concepts were taught.

The teacher integrates other disciplines in the discussion so that the students can learn more aside
from the given topic.
