Defining Instructional Materials for Various Purposes in the Classroom
Confer with your Cooperating Teacher the materials he/she wants you to prepare. Identify the
types of print materials and audio-visual media needed for various purposes in the classroom.
1. Print (Books, Magazines, Newspapers, Printing is used not merely for books and
Posters, Charts) newspapers but also for textiles, plates,
wallpaper, packaging, and billboards. It has
even been used to manufacture miniature
electronic circuits.
2. Chalkboards / Boardwork Chalkboards are a great way to maximize
your students' ability to learn and retain new
information. By writing out key points and
drawing helpful illustrations on the
chalkboard, students are also able to take
better, more accurate notes.
3. Models, Globes, Maps, Realia Maps and globes are tools for planning trips,
learning about faraway locales, and studying
movements of people, goods, and
information.
4. Audio-Media (analog tape cassettes, They can be used to deliver lectures, panel
digital CDs) discussions, or instructions for the distant
learner. Audio is especially useful in courses
that require the nuances of inflection, such as
foreign languages, or those that are designed
for non-readers.
5. Videotapes, Films, Videodiscs Video learning is effective on both sides of
the classroom; educators can use it to create
time and space for active learning. Once a
video is created, it can be reused and updated
as needed, leaving more time in the classroom
for live discussions and engagement with
students.

A school campus which is conducive for learning is, first and foremost, the environment is
clean. It should also be a child-friendly school. It should have the complete school facilities
such as library, speech laboratory, computer laboratory and other facilities that are also
important or can help on the learning of the pupil. And lastly a conducive for learning campus
is the people who are behind this campus; I mean the teachers, principal and others they
should also be child-friendly people that the pupils will not be threatened by their presence. A
classroom which is conducive for learning is well- lighted and well- ventilated and has the
proper sanitation. It should also be a non-threatening classroom wherein the pupils feel that
they are accepted, they are not alone and nothing is to fear about. And also, teacher should
keep and promote a sound and viable intellectual climate. For me this is the best illustration of
an
effective school environment, where everything is just in one building, also to consider the
safety of the learners. Facilities; like library, laboratories and classrooms are just in there much
accessible by the learner. As a future educator, I can accomplish those things by doing it into
action and become a responsible teacher. I have to show love and care to my pupils in order
for them to feel that they are important as an individual, for them to feel that they really need
to learn from me and that studying is important. I make sure that what I have learned in my
preparatory study well be shared to them properly for them to learn also.

82
REEXAMINING YOUR ASSISTING TASKS:
From your participation tasks of maintaining order during instruction and c0-curricluar activities,
what were the most common problems have you encountered?
-we believe, being inconsistent is one of the most common problems we may
encounter in maintaining order during instruction and co-curricular activities. Consistency in
classroom is very important and behavioral management relates to a steady, unchanging
follow-through on the routines, policies, procedures, and consequences you have established as
a teacher.
There’s no question that extra-curricular is a huge part of a student’s school experience; however
balancing home, social and school life with added extra-curricular commitments can often cause
a responsibility overload. It’s therefore important for your student’s mental and physical well-
being to find a healthy balance between extra-curricular activities and schoolwork. Avoiding
classes with class time is sometimes not an option, but even if a lesson needs to fall during class
time, there’s still plenty to consider such as:
A student’s preference on which class to disrupt
Not disrupting the same class on a regular basis
Upcoming assessments and exams

Since it was just a class observation, I wasn’t able to participate in a teaching-learning task,
but I have learned that the teachers play an important role during the transition and group
activities. They serve as the guide, the mentor, and the facilitator for the task as well as for the
whole instruction. But, given this fact, the teacher should also take note that students should be
in charge of their own learning. It is said that teachers should not be the sages on the stage but
be a guide on the side. As a guide, they should be there to support their students and make sure
that each one of them is taking part and learning.

LEARNING EXPERINCE 12
Teachers play as vital role in the learners’ academic success. The teachers’ main
objectives are to make everybody learn and to help those who need more assistance in acquiring
new knowledge or in developing fluency in skills. Students’ her academic success does not
happen at the same time and at the same pace. Therefore, every teacher must be an
interventionist with an expertise and intentional strategies so that he/she can support learners
who are demonstrating academic, social, and behavioral struggles.

Facilitating Supervision of Co-Curricular Activities
Confer with your CT his/her expectations on your participation in the supervision of co-
curricular activities. Take note of all her suggestions/ comments/ expectations and also remember
the limitations that your CT sets relative to your supervisory roles.
I should have the characteristics or qualities of an effective and competent supervisor, such as
time management, problem solving, and the ability to delegate, but most importantly, I should
be supportive and prove to the students that I believe in them and that they can do whatever
they want or enjoy by participating in co-curricular activities. I must be a good leader or
supervisor, but I must also be a friend who is always available to them.
Do not overdo things. Sometimes you have to let students explore and learn by themselves.
But do not forget to lend your arms if they stumble or fall.

REEXAMINING YOUR SUPERVSORY ROLES:
What are some of the critical issues did I face, when I participated in supervising the co-

In participating the co-curricular activities, there are many that I have experience, I have
encountered so many issues regarding how I participate the said activities. They said that I'm
biased because I have favoritism, and that's not actually true, I handle the activities with fairness
and my aim to that is, I will make sure that every Students is enjoying.

13.4 INTERNAIZATION
Planning for Appropriate and Responsible Supervision of Co-Curricular Activities
When you become a teacher, what will be your plan to make sure that you will accord your
students with appropriate and responsible supervision?
To ensure that my students receive appropriate and responsible supervision during co-
curricular activities, I should ensure that there are enough teachers present to supervise
children in all areas, that we are positioned to see all areas, and that I move around as needed.
When a problem arises, I should intervene and look for ways to troubleshoot. I should also
establish positive verbal and physical interactions with the students. This includes using
positive words to guide the students, speaking in a calm and warm tone and remaining
physically close to them, frequently addressing them by name, using the words please, thank
you, and welcome, kneeling or sitting at the child's level to talk and listen, praising the child
for a new skill or accomplishment, and always smiling. I should also show warm and
responsive affection throughout the activity, which includes comforting an upset, angry, or
hurt child and letting them know that I am there for them. To prevent problems, I need to be
proactive and monitor the children during co-curricular activities. problems from developing.
I should also be assisting them in terms of giving snacks, helping them relax, and
encouraging them by letting them know that I believe in them

occurrence of the other "noise" behaviors was also noted. It may be because, with
close monitoring, the learners were kept busy with the tasks and did not have the time
and opportunity to make noise.
b. The learners were able to complete their assigned task at the end of the session. It
used to be that they were not able to do so within the time given them. Besides, with
monitoring and guidance on difficult tasks, perhaps the pupils understood better what
116
they were working on, and consequently became motivated to finish their tasks.
c. Both Melinda and the observer also noted a decrease in the level of noise during the
conduct of remedial lessons. This is due to the decrease in the number of distracting
behaviors of the learners from Day 1 to Day 6
After analyzing these observations or data, Melinda concluded that the action and the
implementation of the use of guidelines and monitoring pupils in the remedial sessions had a
positive effect. The immediate effect is the decrease of noise level in the classroom. This is so
because the action (monitoring and using guidelines) led to the decrease of incidence of
"noise" behaviors of the students which is creating unnecessary noise during remedial
lessons.
As expected by Melinda, monitoring students' activities in remedial sessions had a
positive effect on learners' behavior. Melinda expects that the effects of monitoring will
eventually lead to improved learning outcomes, as for example, finishing the assigned tasks at
the end of the session.

After reading an example of a classroom-based action research, answer the following questions.
Expound and discuss your answers.
What exactly is the classroom problem that Melinda wanted to help address or solve?
Answer: High noise level
What processes helped Melinda to think of the possible causes why a problem exists?
Answer: She was advised to go to the library or search the internet to get ideas on how to
best deal with a situation of a similar nature.
What processes helped Melinda to think of an action, which if implemented, will help
address or solve the classroom problem?
Answer: She observed that there was lack of order or structure in the way the remedial
lessons were conducted. She believed that if an action like setting guidelines and monitoring
the remedial lessons were implemented, the level of noise could be put to a minimum.
What exactly was the action that Melinda wanted to implement?
Answer: Setting guidelines and monitoring the remedial lessons
What was the expectation of Melinda regarding the effect of the action she wanted to
implement?
Answer: Melinda believes that there will be better chances for students learning outcomes to
eventually improve.
117
What processes did Melinda employ to find out if her expectation regarding the effect of
the action is confirmed?
Answer: -Melinda read to the pupils the guidelines before the start of the remedial lesson
proper.
- While remedial session was going on, Melinda walked around and provided guidance
to each pupil.
- Melinda helped each student who had difficulty with the task.
- Melinda made sure that by the end of the session, she would have monitored what each
learner was doing
What are the results of the implementation of the action?
Answer: a. There is a decreasing trend in the “talking and walking around the classroom”
noise behaviors from Remedial Session 1 to Remedial Session 6. A decrease in the
occurrence of the other “noise” behaviors was also noted. It may be because, with close
monitoring, the learners were kept busy with the tasks and did not have the time and
opportunity to make noise.
b. The learners were able to complete their assigned task at the end of the session. It used to
be that they were not able to do so within the time given them. Besides, with monitoring and
guidance on difficult tasks, perhaps the pupils understood better what they were working on,
and consequently became motivated to finish their tasks.
c. Both Melinda and the observer also noted a decrease in the level of noise during the
conduct of remedial lessons. This is due to the decrease in the number of distracting
behaviors of the learners from Day 1 to Day 6.
What are the conclusions deduced from the classroom-based action research?
Answer: As expected by Melinda, monitoring students' activities in remedial sessions had a
positive effect on learners' behavior. Melinda expects that the effects of monitoring will
eventually lead to improved learning outcomes, as for example, finishing the assigned tasks
at the end of the session.

14.4 INTERNALIZATION
Identifying the Different Process Involved in Implementing a Classroom-Based Action
Research
On the left column below are the significant stages of implementing an action research based on
the conceptual framework discussed previously. On the right column, describe the process
applied by Melinda in her action research, corresponding to each step/process.
Steps in the Conceptual Framework Corresponding Steps or Process in the
Sample Action Previously Presented Action Research
Following are what many authors or experts define classroom-based action research.
121
Action research is a systematic study to improve educational practices by groups of
practitioners by means of their own practical actions and reflections or consequences of
their actions (Ebbut in Nuñez & Navarro, 2015)
Some Concepts Common Among the Definitions
1. It is systematic study, a form of inquiry.
2. It is conducted in educational settings like classrooms or schools.
3. It aims to solve problems in education.
4. It aims to improve practices in education.
5. Applies reflection in analyzing the results.
