Unit 1. OVERVIEW OF THE FIELD STUDY


At the end of the unit, the students must have:
1. demonstrated understanding of the nature, guidelines, observation protocols, and
expectations of Field Study 1; and
2. demonstrated a full grasp of how one’s take-aways from the course be compiled
and presented in a portfolio.

What are Field Study Subjects for?


Field Study I is the first experiential course which will immerse a future teacher in actual
classroom setting where direct observation of teaching-learning episodes that apply
educational theories learned in the content and pedagogy course will be made. This is
followed by Field Study 2 where the future teacher assists and participates in guided
actual teaching-learning process. The conduct of action research begins in this course
and concludes during teaching internship.
What are the Field Study courses?
1. Field Study I- Observations of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment
2. Field Study 2- Participation and Teaching Assistanship
3. Practice Teaching/ Teaching Internship

Suggested Guidelines for Field Study Students

These guidelines are suggested to help Field Study students in the successful conduct
or their Field Study course. Each TEI shall address some institutional peculiarities that
are not covered in these guidelines.
. Field study activities should be under the supervision of the Field Study Faculty of the
TEl in collaboration with the Field Study Cooperating Schools.

The Field Study students:


1. are required to accomplish successfully the activities in at least 54 hours in one
semester to earn a three- unit credit
2. secure appropriate Field Study permits and undergo orientation/briefing before
they are deployed in cooperating schools.
3. observe classes and may work with a partner. A Field Study partner is one whom
one can discuss and work with after the FS experience.

are required to prepare a portfolio for every Field Study course.

As a Field Study student what am I expected to learn and develop?


“Intended learning outcomes refer to what you can do, accomplish, achieve, or become
as a result of a learning experience”
Learning Outcome is the heart of Outcome-Based Education or OBE. To explain it simply,
OBE neatly organizes or aligns what you will learn, the activities you and your teachers
will work on and how you will be assessed, while focusing on you as the learner and the
ultimate outcome of what you are expected to be- a world class teacher.
To determine the intended learning outcomes for Field Study, the three important
sources below were used. What kind of teacher should you be? Learn more about these
three sources to find out!

Notes on Observation
Observation is the core of Field Study 1. Observation experiences will make you aware
of teaching attitudes, beliefs, and, classroom practices that are effective in teaching and
learning, by witnessing up close, experienced teachers in the actual teaching-learning
situations.

In this course, your focus on the three major objects of observation which are the:

1. environment, which serves as the context (classrooms, learning spaces,


activities) in which teaching and learning occur.
2. learners, whose growth and development, characteristics and diversity influence
how they interact, how they respond to teaching, shown in their on-task or off-
task behavior.
3. teachers, who are the guide and facilitators, managers of learning, the
techniques they use, their philosophy of education, their personal and
professional characteristics that influence teaching and learning strategies.

Before and During Observation

As you go to the field to learn about the environment, the teacher and the learners,
remember that OBSERVING is NOT Simply SEEING NOR LOOKING. A skilled observer
learns with a purpose, focus, and intentionality.
West Visayas State University
Janiuay Campus
(Formerly Janiuay Polytechnic College, Don Tiburcio A. Lutero Nat’l Comp.School,

* Website: www.wvsu.edu.ph *Email Address: janiuay@wvsu.edu.ph

Purpose. Before starting any field observation activity, make sure you clearly
understand the intended outcomes of the activity. Remember that you are a non-
participant observer. You need to remain unobtrusive, meaning you should be as
‘invisible" as you can, and not to attract attention to yourself. Strive not to cause any
unintended effect on the environment, learners, and teachers.

Focus. As a Field Study student, you are often overwhelmed by the many things going
on as you observe. There is just too much to see and you do not know what to observe,
at one time. When your purpose is clear, it is easier to tune in and select what to
observe. For example, if you are observing the behavior of the students in class, focus
your observation on specific rows of learners at a time, rather than attempting to
observe everyone at the same time. When you specify your focus, you can pay close
attention to details.

Make your observation multi-sensorial. Use your senses. Look closely. Listen intently.
Note the smell of the surroundings, even the learners and teachers. (Discreetly, of
course.)

Intentionality. In every step of the way, you are guided by the purpose as you consider
details of how you will go about your observation. Crucial here is distinctly knowing how
you will record and document your observations. Choose the best strategy from among
the following to record and document efficiently:

1. Use tables/matrices, checklists that you can fill out with data as you are
observing,
2. Write brief notes of details you see while using a checklist.
3. Have a small notebook, pad or, sticky notes ready for jotting additional notes.
4. Use apps to record your observation data.
5. Draw sketches or observational drawings.
6. Tally behaviors. An example would be noting how many times a learner got up
from his or her chair within the whole class period.
7. Make lists. An example would be making a list of the words that a toddler used
within a specified time.
8. Write transcripts. This strategy is useful when you pair your observation with
interview or when or you are documenting what you observed in a specific
incident and you are writing an anecdotal record.
9. Use audio or video gadget/equipment to record data with permission from the
teacher and the learner/s. Some schools require parents’ consent
10. Take pictures with permission as well.

After Observation

Once you have collected your observation data, you are now ready to analyze the data.
Be guided by the analysis questions. Remember to be objective and non-judgmental.
While it is important to connect what you observed with your prior knowledge and
experience, it is vital to be aware of your own biases that may affect your analysis.
After you have analyzed, you must now reflect on what you learned from your
observation. Ponder and contemplate and derive insights on how the experience
connects to you. Express how your perspectives have been reinforced or have been
changed. Share how your Field Study experience links to your future role as a teacher.

OBSERVE- I shall look and see and listen and hear. I should be able to record what I see
and hear.
ANALYZE- I shall examine closely what I observed, relate it to the theories, principles
and concepts that I already know.
REFLECT I shall think deeply of what I have observed, connect it to my past experiences,
present undertakings and future goals and plans as a teacher.
Now with your teacher's guidance you are ready to do your tasks

child abuse, and child labor.
Teachers who celebrate and leverage student diversity in the classroom:

 Use strategies to build a caring community in the classroom

 Model respect and acceptance of different cultures and religions

 Bring each of the student's home culture and language into the shared culture of
the school

 Provide more opportunities for cooperation than competition.

Learning Environment
A learning environment is a learning setting consisting of the physical
environment, psychological factors and social relationships (Finnish National Board of
Education, 2004).
 The physical environment refers to the buildings, premises, furniture and equipment
used for the work. The physical environment also covers the technical learning
environment, which refers to educational technology.
 The psychological learning environment covers the cognitive environment, which
means the information and skills to be learnt, and the emotional environment, which
includes emotions and motivation.
 The social learning environment includes the social network, structure and system,
which are influenced by all the people involved in the learning situation and the
interaction between them.

Unit 3: Classroom Management


At the end of the unit, the students must have:

1. identified the various class routines employed by the teacher;


2. determined the classroom strategies utilized by the resource teacher

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and
learning. Routines don't just make the life of the teacher easier. They save valuable
classroom time. Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.
Establishing routines early in the school year:
enables you to run your daily activities run smoothly;
ensures you to manage time effectively;
helps you maintain order in the classroom;
makes you more focused in teaching because you spend less time in
giving directions/ instructions; and
enables you to explain to the learners what are expected of them.
Physical and Personal Aspects of Classroom Management
Classroom management refers to the wide variety of skills and techniques that teachers
use to keep students organized, orderly, focused, attentive on tasks 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

Unit 4: Instructional Planning and Cycle

At the end of the unit, the students must have:

1. identified the different curricula, teaching learning practices, teaching strategies,


and learning resource materials that are used and practiced in the school;
2. analyzed if the teacher aligns the objectives to subject matter, teaching
strategies and assessment, and learning resource materials in the conduct of the
lesson;
3. outlined an OBTL lesson plan/exemplar, based on the sample lesson plan, where
there is congruence of the lesson objectives, teaching methodology, and
intended learning outcomes;

SPARK Your Interest

Formal education begins in school. Schools are institutions established to design


total learning activities appropriate for each learner in each grade level. Thus, schools
have recommended curriculum which is the enhanced K to 12 curriculum.The
recommended curriculum was translated into written curriculum like books, modules,
teachers guides and lesson plans which are the basis of the taught curriculum. A
teacher who implements the curricula needs support materials (support curriculum) to
enhance teaching and learning so that the written and ne taught curricula can be
assessed (assessed curriculum) in order to determine it learning took place (learned
curriculum). However, there are so many activities that happen in schools but are not
deliberately planned. This refers to the hidden curriculum.
A classroom teacher plans, implements and evaluates school learning activities
by preparing a miniscule curriculum called a lesson plan or a learning plan. The teacher
then puts life to a lesson plan by using it as a guide in the teaching-learning process
where different strategies can be used to achieve the learning objectives or outcomes.
There are many styles of writing a lesson plan, but the necessary parts or elements
such as (a) Learning Outcomes (b) Subject Matter (c) Teaching-Learning Strategies, and
(d) Evaluation or Assessment should always be included.
All of these elements should be aligned so that at the end of the teaching-
learning episode, learning will be achieved with the classroom teacher as a guide.

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 to 12 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
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.
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.

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, 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 or 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;

This Episode gives emphasis on the principles of learning which must be applied
to ensure quality instruction. It also focuses on the intended learning outcomes which
set the direction of the lesson. They must be (SMART) Specific, Measurable, Attainable,
Realistic and Time-bound and formulated in accordance with time-tested principles. It
also determines the teaching method used by the Resource Teacher whether (inductive
or deductive) which is the practical realization or application of an approach. This
episode dovetails with the course on Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching.

REVISIT 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).

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 ICT skills from Level 1, Knowledge Acquisition, to
Level 2, Knowledge Deepening, and Level 3, Knowledge Creation. The Commission on

discussed in the framework.

The Learning Resource Center


1. The 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.
3. 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.
4. The common purpose among these centers is to provide print, audio-visual and ICT
resources to support the teaching-learning process.
5. 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.
6. 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 agency, 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

websites, webquests, 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.

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 how we run 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 the way we teach and learn. 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 AI. Among others, uses of AI
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.

Unit 6: Assessment Practices


At the end of the unit, the students must have:

1. demonstrated knowledge of the design, use, & importance of assessment--


formative and summative; traditional & non-traditional;
2. determined the alignment of assessment tools and tasks with intended learning
outcomes;
3. distinguished the different types & parts of a portfolio;
4. elucidated the functions of the Table of Specifications;
5. stated the new features of the latest grading system in basic education; and
6. computed student’s grade based on DepEd’s grading system.

Assessment is an essential part of the instructional cycle. The instruction cycle


consists 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 the 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 a lesson on assessment, we can speak of assessment for leaning,
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.

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.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

Traditional assessment tools are also called paper-and-pencil tests.


Traditional assessment tools usually measure learning in the cognitive domain.
Traditional or paper-and-pencil tests can be classified either as selected-
response tests or constructed-response/supply type of tests.

Common examples of selected -response type of tests are alternate response


test (True-False, yes-no), multiple choice and matching type of test.
Common examples of constructed-response type of test are short answer,
problem solving and essay.

REVISIT 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.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

In accordance with Outcome-Based Teaching-Learning, the learning outcome


determines assessment task.
Therefore, the assessment task must necessarily be aligned to the learning outcome

A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student


work accompanied by clear criteria for performance which prove student effort,
progress or 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.

What a Portfolio Includes

The portfolio includes only

corrected/revised versions.)

6. Student's Reflections

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 use 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 analytic 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 a holistic view of a product or 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.

of the 21st Century; and


4. crafted one’s own teaching philosophy.

Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A Global Teacher of the 21st Century!
ln 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 tne world. In most countries that participated, it was found out that
like the Philippines, teaching 5 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 21st century teachers must
have the competence to address the new learning environment, the new learning
contents, the processes of learning and how these are facilitated and the new types of
learners.
Hence, we need the new type of teachers, a global 21st century Filipino teacher.
FILIPINO 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 such as management of learning per day. The 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. Teachers should be multi-
literate, multi-cultural, multi-talented, innovative and creative. teacher 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 teachers do in the local communities impacts the larger community. As global
citizens, the work begins, where the teachers are, thus a "glocal" teacher.

Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in the
21st 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 is to "create a learning
environment that encourages creativity and innovation among learners. With it, comes
the management of learning in such environment. These are required skills for a global
teacher.
Majority of the current classrooms provide learning 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 1solation, 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 21st 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 of teachers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the six
elements of 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.

Professional Competences of Filipino Teacher


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

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.

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.

Activity 11. Articulating My Personal Philosophy of Teaching

. Here are philosophies of education. Find out which philosophies were manifested in
class by observing what and how teacher teaches and relates to learners (refer to your
previous observation).

Philosophies of Education Teaching Behavior (State what the


teacher said, taught or did)
1. Essentialism - teach mastery of In what way was teacher essentialist?;
the basics; curriculum is e.g. He/she saw to it that the students
prescribed; subject matter- mastered basic concepts and skills.
centered there are universal, He/she inculcated values.
objective values:
inculcate values; subject
2. Perennialism - teach those that last,

the classics; there are universal values;


inculcate these universal, objective values
3. Progressivism - very child-centered;
teach those that interest the child; one
learns by experience; learners learn by
doing so teacher teacher's teaching is
experiential; values are subjective; no
inculcation of values since they are
subjective instead teachers help students
clarify their values

4. Reconstructionism school is agent of


change Schooling is preparing students
for the social changes; teaching is
involving the students in discussions of
moral dilemmas
5. Existentialism - Teachers teach
learners to make a choice, to make
decisions and not merely to follow the
crowd; one who does not make a choice
and so simply follow others do not leave
meaningful life
6. Pragmatism - That which is useful, that
which is practical and that which works is
what is good, that which is efficient and
effective is that which is good. e.g.
showing a video clip on mitosis is more
efficient and more effective and therefore
more practical than teacher coming up
with a visual aid by drawing mistosis on a
cartolina or illustration board
7. Rationalism emphasizes the
development of the learners' reasoning
powers; knowledge comes though
reason; teacher must develop the
reasoning power of the learner
8. Utilitarianism - what is good is that
which is most useful (that which brings
happiness) to the greatest number of
peoples;

9. Empiricism - source of knowledge is


through the senses; teacher must involve
the senses in teaching-learning

10. Behaviorism - behavior is shaped


deliberately by forces in the environment
and that the type of person and actions
desired can be the product of design;
behavior is determined by others, rather
than by person's own free will; teacher
must carefully shape desirable behavior;
drills are commonly used to enhance
learning, rewards reinforce learning.
11. Constructivism - Learners are capable
of constructing knowledge and meaning;
teaching -learning therefore is
constructing knowledge and meaning;
teacher does not just "tell" or dictate but
asks learners for knowledge they
Construct and meaning of lesson
12. Other Philosophies

dominant in Philippine basic schools? Why do you say so?

2. If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more attention
to, what should that be and why?

teach, how you should teach and how you should relate to others in school-with the
learners, your colleagues your superiors and all other stakeholders. Write them down.
