1. According to the PPSTs, a distinguished teacher progresses from being a professional to highly
proficient, emphasizing continuous learning. Meanwhile, the Southeast Asia Teachers
Competency Standards highlight a great teacher’s understanding of what to teach, fostering
student learning, community engagement, and continual professional improvement. TEDx videos
stress the importance of deep understanding, effective listening, and the ability to bring out the
best in students, recognizing their potential despite challenges. Great teachers guide learners
toward future decisions and dreams.

2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?


- Success in teaching goes beyond professional competencies; personal qualities play a crucial
role. While providing accurate knowledge is essential, a teacher’s impact on students stems from
their ability to facilitate learning creatively. Building strong professional relationships within
diverse learning communities is vital. Understanding each learner’s unique background allows
teachers to address individual needs throughout the learning process.

3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a lesson,
execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades? Explain your
answer.
In my view, being a great teacher goes beyond professional competencies like lesson
planning and class management. A truly exceptional teacher understands their learners' needs,
interests, strengths, and weaknesses. This understanding allows them to provide tailored support
and effectively communicate, fostering a genuine interest in learning.

Reflect

Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I need improvement in?
I believe both professional competencies and personal qualities are crucial for a great teacher.
Professional competencies are essential for mastering teaching methods, planning and executing
lessons, managing a class, and assessing learning. Simultaneously, personal qualities such as effective
communication and interpersonal skills are vital for understanding learners’ needs, interests, strengths,
and weaknesses, ensuring an effective learning process.

Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?


- I possess the expertise to select and craft instructional materials for diverse student levels,
employing varied teaching strategies tailored to different learning styles. I’m adept at assessing
and identifying students’ needs, interests, strengths, and weaknesses. Additionally, I collaborate
with colleagues to foster mutual learning, aiming to enhance teaching skills and contribute to
creating a safe and effective learning environment, thereby improving the school’s overall image
and instruction quality.

In which competencies do I need to develop more?


- I recognize the importance of enhancing my digital skills in the 21 st-century learning
environment. As a teacher, it is crucial to adeptly navigate digital platforms, evaluate information,
and effectively communicate through online tools. Developing these skills enables me to guide
students in discerning biased or misinformed content, empowering them to identify reliable
information from trustworthy sources and teaching effective strategies for information credibility.

Who are the teachers that we remember most?


- A memorable teacher is one who instills the belief that we are capable of mastering
anything in our learning journey. They don’t judge learning difficulties, persistently strive to aid
comprehension, and express genuine concern for our paths. Encouraging resilience, they
emphasize that failure is acceptable, urging us not to lose hope but to persevere. Their impact
goes beyond lessons, with inspirational talks and shared life experiences leaving a lasting
impression on students.

III. Abstract

This action research project was conducted to improve reading comprehension of grade III
pupils of Baya Elementary School, Ragay District, Division of Camarines Sur for the school
year 2011-2012. The researcher intends to improve the reading comprehension by using the
higher-order thinking skills such as predicting, making connections, visualizing, inferring,
questioning and summarizing. In his classroom the researcher modeled these strategies through
the think- aloud process and graphic organizers. This is followed by the pupils using these

strategies the whole class, small group, and independent practice.

The pre-experimental one-shot case method of research was utilized in which the treatment
was the instruction of Reading strategies. Documentary analysis was also employed since the
results of schools PHIL-RI and Meta-comprehension Strategy Index were used as the source of
data. The researcher gathered information prior to implementing the strategy interventions. The
Meta-
comprehension Strategy Index indicated a lack of pupil’s knowledge of strategies to use
before, during, and after reading. The PHIL-IRI given to the grade III pupils identified 9 of the
16 pupils below target level.

The information gathered by the researcher after the intervention had been modeled and
practiced showed improvement with the grade III pupils. The post intervention scores for
the Meta-comprehension Strategy Index showed a significant increase in pupils’ knowledge of
the reading comprehension strategies. The Phil – IRI post intervention scores indicate only 2 of
the 49 pupils of the grade III pupils remained non-reader. The table on Level of reading
comprehension it shows that along frustration level, indicated a decrease of 32.65%, under
Instructional indicated an increase of 32.65% and 6.13% for Independent Level.

IV. Identify the Problem in the Study

The objective of this research project was to improve reading comprehension in the thirdgrade
pupils through teacher modeling and think aloud process using six strategies. The researcher
used to predict, making connections, visualizing, inferring, questioning, and summarizing
strategies. Beginning in September 2011, the strategies were introduced and practiced over a
sixteen-week period ending with an assessment at the end of January 2012. The strategies were
first modeled by the researcher through the think aloud process and the use of graphic
organizer. Next the strategies were practiced by the whole class then small groups, and finally
independently.
V. Identify the Action Taken in the Study One tool the researcher used to collect data, analyze pupils’
use, and pupils’ understanding of the reading strategies was an observation checklist. Beginning in
October 2011, once a month, the researcher used checklist to observe which reading comprehension
strategies were being used by the pupils in small groups. The researcher found two problems with
using checklists. The researcher observed that pupils had a problem using the strategies within the
group setting without a guide sheet to follow. Therefore, the researcher developed a group record
keeping sheet for the various strategies pupils were to use before, during and after reading the story in
their group. This record keeping sheet aided the researcher in monitoring pupils’ progress since
observing groups at one time was a second problem.
Following the teaching of the reading strategies, the researcher administered
Metacomprehension Strategy Index (MSI) to see if the strategies changed pupils approaches in
reading. The
MSI measures pupils’ knowledge of reading strategies used before, during, and after reading. The
researcher noted the new activities led to an increase in pupils’ knowledge of the reading strategies in
all parts of the MSI.

Preparing
The Learning
Environment: An
Overview

Participate and Assist

What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning environment in the
following conditions:

1. Bulletin Board Display

- In an educational environment, a bulletin board holds significance. It serves various


purposes like conveying information to students, reinforcing lessons, showcasing student work,
and more. I can support my mentor in creating a compelling bulletin board by integrating a
theme, be it related to school events or holidays. Additionally, I can contribute an attractive
design and structure to captivate students’ interest and encourage their interaction with the
displayed content.
2. Small Group Discussion

In the small group discussion method, students collaborate in small groups to support each
other’s learning. Acting as a class moderator within this approach, my responsibility is to
prevent disruptions and overlapping conversations among students. By ensuring a structured
discussion, I contribute to maintaining a peaceful and successful small group learning
environment, with the teacher serving as the facilitator.

3. Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e., google meet or zoom)

In an online classroom, teachers commonly take attendance as they would in a physical


setting. I can aid my mentor by keeping a detailed record of class attendance and
behavior analysis. This proactive approach not only simplifies the attendance task but
also enables me to assist my mentor in managing data efficiently in real-time.

Notice

Learning Environment 1:

• What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message of theme
does it convey?

- Low innovation
- Internet connection

REFLECT How would you solve this problem?

- Addressing this issue requires the adoption of a robust innovation integration strategy. As
a prospective teacher, recognizing the importance of innovation is key to assisting our
students effectively. Teachers play a crucial role in equipping learners with the tools and
knowledge to strategize and find potential solutions to problems.

PLAN What initial plan do you intend to do to solve the problem?

To address this issue, students need to maintain regular communication with teachers and provide
updates on their progress. It’s essential to be understanding and adaptable to the situation, considering
options like recording course sessions as a backup. Encouraging students to stay focused, minimize
distractions, and steer clear of anything that might hinder their learning is also crucial.

• Did the formative assessment tasks help students master what they were expected to
learn?
• Yes, the formative assessments help students to master learnings int the subject.
• Was students' response to formative assessment exercises favorable or unfavorable?
Why?
• It is favorable because the students respond well to the given assessment and the result
are good.
• Did the conduct of formative assessment and self-assessment affect student’s attainment
of learning outcomes? How?
• Yes, because they can now assess their learnings that they attained during the process of
learning.
