Reflective Teaching
To have a meaningful and successful accomplishment in this FS episode, be sure to read through
the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2 Resource Teacher’s class. Note
all the information you will need and task you will need to do before working on this episode.

 be familiar about action research as a reflective teacher
 underscore the importance of doing action research

You must have experienced in your past subjects, doing some activities or accomplishing
tasks similar to an action research. These are activities that required you to do Reflection and
Make Action or the other way around. Schon (1987) distinguishes Reflection in Action or
Reflection on Action as two different things.
Perhaps your mentor teacher has already done an Action Research. Now is the
opportunity for you to participate and assist in ways that you are capable of doing.
Here is what you will do.
Making a List of Completed Action Research Titles by Teachers in the Field

1. Make a library or on-line search of the different Completed Action Research Titles
Conducted by Teachers.
2. Enter the list in the matrix similar to the one below.
3. Submit your list of five (5) Titles of Completed Action Research Studies to your mentor

Process and
FS 2 Models

read through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS2 Resource

 Use concept and processes of action research.
 Identify sample models of AR such as of DepEd, 2017; McNiff & Whitehead, 2006;
Nelson, 2014.
Clarify Your Task

Understanding and Using Action Research Concepts and Processes
The definition of action research evolved over time. There is no singular definition of
action research. Anchored on the idea of inquiry by John Dewey several other authors have
advanced the concept of action research. Action research is a type of inquiry that is:
 Practical as it involves making changes to practice.
 Theoretical as it informed by theory and can generate new insights.
 Concerned with change and improvement.
Action research has been embraces in education for its value in transforming school practices
by the practitioners themselves. It is used to address practical problems in the classroom. It is a
process that allows teachers to study their own classroom and school setting to improve their
effectiveness. Teacher Action Research (TAR) is a method for educational practitioners
(teachers, school leaders) to engage in the assessment and improvement of their own practice. It
is a tool to help classroom teachers consider their teaching methods or to adopt a strategy in
order to solve everyday problem in the school setting.
Here are some questions and answers that you need to know.
1. What are the Core Characteristics of AR (Tichen, 2015)?
 Systematic – Like any form of research, it follows a system.
 Rigorous – It has rigor, meaning a strict adherence to the rules of empirical studies.
 Reflective - It follows a continuous reflection and action.
 Situational – It is more specific to the location (school) circumstances (teaching and
learning, etc.)
 Participative – AR can be participative where teachers and learners are co-researchers.
 Future-oriented – It seeks solution to current problem for future improvement.
2. Why is Action Research useful to me as a Teacher Researcher?
 AR can help me to learn how to improve my practice as a teacher in terms of teaching
methods, classroom management, preparation of the learning environment, developing
instructional materials and assessment.
 AR can help me learn more about a wider range of research methods that I can use in the
future.
 AR can provide me more space to think deeply about the issues that confront teaching
and learning.
 AR can help me engage with my mentor and peers to enable me to improve my teaching
practices through action research.
 AR can help me develop new knowledge which is directly related to my are of
specialization.
3. What types of classroom action studies that I can engage in?
 Creating changes in the classroom practices. Example: What changes will daily writing
have on my students?
 Establishing effects of curriculum restructuring. Example: Will the use of mother tongue
enhance the reading skills of my learners?
 Enhancing new understanding of learners. Example: What happens when students get
demotivated?
 Teaching a new process to the students. Example: How can I teach third graders to do
reflection?

Action research is a dynamic process anchored on Reflection- Action Cycle of Observing,
Reflecting, Acting, Evaluating and Modifying.
Action research is cyclical, recursive process of observe >> reflect>> act>> evaluate>>
modify>> move in new direction id known as action-reflection (McNiff & Whitehead, 2006). In
2011, McNiff defined action research as form of inquiry that enables practitioners to investigate
and evaluate their work. Before that, Corey in 1953 viewed action research as a recursive or
repeated process, proceeding through spiralling cycle of planning, actions, reflections, and
change.
In a similar vein, Nelson, 2014 proposed an action research cycle that starts with Observe
followed by Reflect, Plan and Act which can also go through evaluation and modification. It also
follows a cyclical process. ß

FS 2 4
with Probable Action
read through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS2 Resource

 Analyse teaching learning problems prevailing in the classroom.
 List matching action as probable solution to teaching-learning problems.
Clarify Your Task

Matching Problematic Learning Situations with Probable Actions as Solution
Identifying a problem is a tricky task. Action research begins with identifying a problem.
Oftentimes, it is one of the difficult things to begin with. When a researcher was asked: “Have
you identified a problem for your action research?” Common answer will be: “My problem is
that, I do not have a problem.” Ironical, isn’t it?
If you observe and notice closely the teaching-learning environment in the classroom,

problematic situations when you did your FS 1 course.

To have a meaningful and successful accomplishment in this FS episode, be sure to read

through the whole episode before participating and assisting in your FS 2 Resource Teacher’s
class. Note all the information you will need in tasks you will need to do before working on this
episode.
At the end of this episode, I must be able to revisit the concept of learning
environment in the context of the current teaching and learning situation.
Clarify Your Task
Overview of the Learning Environment
A learning environment, traditionally called the classroom, is a space in a school that
supports student learning. It is a self-contained area where teacher teaches and children learn. In
the classroom are chairs or tales for students and a front table for the teachers. This is a
traditional face-to-face classroom. Most often the students should face the teacher as the chairs
are arranged hat way. But as teaching delivers change to enhance learning, modification in the
seating arrangement evolved ad more opportunity for the learners to move about for cooperative
learning was addressed.
A conducive learning environment should have the following characteristics:
 Flexibility – there is opportunity to have small groups, movable walls.
 Openness – Learning corners/areas which could be shared.
 Accesses to resources – Audio-visual materials are ready and open for use.
 Physical classroom – Space is clean and safe.
 Psychological atmosphere – It is friendly and accommodating.
The classroom climate nurtures the intellectual, physical, social and emotional
development of the students.
Here are some specific strategies for developing the optimal classroom climate. You may
consider these.
1. Learning environment addresses both physical and psychological needs of the students
for security and order, love and belonging, personal power and competence, freedom and
fun.
2. Create a sense of order. For example, teacher should teach students how to
 Enter the classroom and become immediately engaged in the activity;
 Distribute and collect materials;
 Find out about missed assignments due to absence and how to make up for them;
 Get the teacher’s attention without disrupting the class and
 Arrange desks, tables quickly and quietly for various purposes.
3. Greet learners as they enter your face-to-face or online classroom.
4. In a healthy and conducive learning environment, everybody belongs and knows each
other.
5. Encourage class building activities like games and tem activities.
6. In a conducive learning environment, success whether small or big is recognized, and
celebrated.
Both approaches, either the traditional face-to-face or online, lead to positive result but in
different ways, so usually in practice both approaches are combined

At the end of this episode, I must be able to assist in the preparation of the
traditional face-to-face learning environment.
Clarify Your Task

Enhancing a Face-to-Face or In-Person Classroom Environment for Learning
In a face-to-face-classroom, students and the teacher are physically present. They meet at
a time set in the classroom. The teacher prepares activities, provides instruction and evaluates
students’ learning. Equipment and instructional materials are made available in the classroom
where teaching and learning take place most of the time.
Some of the advantages of face-to-face learning environment for the students are:
 less distraction and more concentration than when studying at home or elsewhere;
 greater understanding and real world examples from teachers and classmates;
 greater chance of completing course work by doing it in the classroom sace;
 learn more easily and more comfortably in familiar, traditional classroom
situation;
 access more relevant information from teachers and classmates interactions and
 greater opportunity to connect and socialize, network and solve problems together
with classmates and teacher.
Here are some characteristics of the face-to-face or in-person learning environment.

 Learning space is physical. Both the teacher and learner see and hear each other
from the same contained safe place called the classroom.
 Lessons are derived with the teacher physically facilitating. Reading assignments
are from textbooks and other resources provided or referred.
 Class meetings occur regularly on a specific time or schedule.
 Teacher leads the conversation, within a limited amount of time.
 Assessment is done face-to-face and usually during the class meeting.

Environment Safe
FS 2 7

At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to explore the different ways of
establishing a safe and conducive on-line or virtual learning environment.
Clarify Your Task

Safe and Conducive On-line or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
Education has dramatically shifted in recent years. Schools aligned physical spaces to
flexible spaces that integrate technology to support the 21 st century learning opportunities. The
modern learning environment incorporates the three elements: (1) connected devices such as
notebooks, tablets, smart phones; (2) audio visual tools including projectors and touch screen
displays and (3) purposeful furniture such as standing desks, collaborative work stations and
connected seating that allow students to learn in different ways at different times.
The on-line learning environment requires a constant access to connectivity which allows
learning to take place anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. On-line or virtual learning can be
delivered synchronously or asynchronously, so the teacher’s role is a moderator between the
technology and the students.
Unlike face-to-face, on-line or virtual learning does not happen in one contained physical
space but learners are in different imaginary spaces made possible by technology such as
computer network. Virtual classrooms refer to digital; learning environment that allows teachers
and students to connect on line in real time.
Let us now consider an on-line or virtual classroom or learning environment. What are
home safety reminders to remember?
1. Encourage parents and carers involvement. Keep parents/carers informed of how you and
the children will be using the on-line platform.
 Assist them on how to set up appropriate home learning spaces, if students will be
learning from home.
 Provide contact times and classroom schedules.
 Provide procedures to follow and consequences if they failed.
 Share information about protection from cyberbullying and image abuse.
2. Make lesson plans as interactive as possible to keep attention of students. Be flexible
with class length and topics.
 Make assignments as guided as possible. Teachers may need to source research
sites to ensure on-line safety.
 Provide students with resources. Share with your students websites and videos so
as not to take them to inappropriate materials such as ads from YouTube and
other sites.
3. Encourage public chatting. Avoid texting students one-on-one, instead send a group text,
or group chat. When using technology like zoom, google.meet, MOOCS allow public
chatting or group instead of chatting privately so that you can be part of their
conversation.
4. Use of password, log in and log out.
 All students should have individual password. This should not be disclosed.
 No one should log in as another person.
 All users log off when they have finished working.
There are more reminders to follow in the use of the digital platform for virtual or on-line
learning environment but for the meantime let us have a few. As technology advances, so
do policies and guidelines.

If you are assisting your mentor in an on-line class, these are some reminders you should
share to your remote learners on a synchronous platform like google.meet, zoom, MOOCS or
any other platforms you are familiar with and are using.
With the use of any google.meet, zoom or any platform, organize a virtual class. Do this
with the guidance of your mentor.

Notice
Unlike the traditional face to face classroom environment, online or virtual environment
is a bit difficult to manage. It is because Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is imaginary and
not in the physical sense. It has no concerns or walls and it can be set up with the support of
technology.

Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures
(Face-to-Face or Remote Learning)
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 that you manage time effectively; helps you maintain time in giving
directions/ instructions; and enables you to explain to the learners what are expected of them.
Classroom routines set the foundation for a meaningful school year with teachers and
students whether in the classroom or remotely. To teach classroom routines remotely, it is best to
record videos and to post these in the learning management system so students may watch them
over and over again for better retention and for families to view them so they can assist their
children when needed.
Students can take an active role in establishing classroom routines, They can brainstorm
on ideas which they will most likely do and follow. Routines are important especially when done
in remote learning so that there will be less distractions both for synchronous and asynchronous
participation.

Creating My Classroom/Remote Learning Management Plan
A classroom management plan is a plan that a teacher designs that sets the expectations
for every student. The purpose of a classroom management plan is to make the students
accountable for their actions. Effective classroom management increases students’ success,
enhances students’ academic skills and competencies and promotes social and emotional
development.
The teaching-learning process may be implemented in various modalities. Teachers must

bear in mind that alternatives and other options may be considered in designing the classroom
remote management plan.
A good learning environment produces highly engaged students who learn more, do more
and work more. Teachers likewise become more creative and productive in their work.
Key Elements for Effective Classroom Management:

1. Classroom Design: This refers to seating arrangement, bulletin boards, display, storage area,
equipment, supplies etc.
2. Rules: These are the expectations set at the beginning of the class to foster love, care, respect
and sense of community in the class.
3. Discipline: Classroom rules must define the consequences of every action/misdemeanor in
class. This will ensure fairness and consistency in dealing with the students. This also includes
the rewards given for good behavior.
4. Scheduling: This includes time allotment given for each period and activity in class. This will
make the students to stay on time and on task.
5. Organization: This refers to the systematic arrangement of files and records and keeping
them organized always and ready for use.
6. Instructional Techniques: These are ways by which you implement your learning content.
Tailoring your techniques to the subject, grade levels and nature of the learner is really
important.
7. Communication: Consistent open lines of communication to all the stakeholders of the school
community will lead to better teacher-student teacher relationship.

elements-for-effective-classroom-management
In order to implement these elements effectively, a classroom management plan must be

designed. Each teacher has its own unique style of management to meet class needs, although the
same elements are found consistently. In order for a classroom management plan to be
successful, the students must have a complete understanding of each of the guidelines. At the
same time, teachers must follow their plan to ensure that the learning environment is safe,
friendly, secured and non-threatening whether in the classroom or in remote learning.

Writing my learning/lesson Plans
Lesson Plan/Learning Plan- This refers to the blueprint of the daily teaching and
learning activities. It is a step-by-step guide which helps the teacher in maintaining the quality of
instruction. Lesson plans consist of essential components such as learning outcomes, learning
content, resources and procedures. An effective lesson plan has a great impact on the teaching
learning process. It is a must that teachers plan their lessons effectively to ensure a successful
instructional experience. There are three types of lesson plans: detailed, semi-detailed and
brief. Some schools design their own lesson plan template which includes their vision, mission,
goals and core values.
The Department of Education had provided templates for Detailed Lesson Plan (DLP)
and Daily Lesson Log (DLL). This was done to institutionalized instructional planning which is
vital to the teaching-learning process. Guidelines were formulated to assist the teachers in
planning, organizing and managing their lessons to meet the needs of the diverse learners.
Teachers must also keep in mind that in stating the learning outcomes, the three domains
must be considered (Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor). Outcomes must be stated in terms
that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound (SMART). The cognitive
domain includes remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating.
When writing lesson plans, the learning outcomes, activities and assessment must be
constructively aligned. The instructional strategies used must help in the attainment of the
learning outcomes. The modes of assessment must determine if the outcomes were attained at the
end of the lesson.
With all this information in mind, you are all set in writing your lesson plan. Based on the
instruction given by your Cooperating Teacher, prepare your lesson plan(s) based on the learning
competencies of the lesson. Consider the age appropriateness and level of communication of
your students.
Request lesson plan exemplars/lesson plan templates from your Resource teacher. If not
available, you can make use of the basic components of a lesson plan.

Delivering My Instruction
Instructional Delivery refers to the interaction among the students, the teacher and the
content for students to learn the knowledge/skills/dispositions that they will need for further
learning and for collaborating with others in a diverse society and a rapidly changing world. The
process of instructional delivery involves applying a repertoire of instructional strategies to
communicate and interact with students around academic content and to support student
engagement. (Innovation Lab Network State Framework for College, Career, and Citizenship
Readiness, and Implications for State Policy).
The process of instructional delivery involves applying a repertoire of instructional
strategies to communicate and interact with students around academic content and to support
student engagement (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2013).
The mode of delivery is an important consideration when designing learning activities
that will support students to develop the skills, knowledge and understandings required to
achieve the intended learning outcomes (ILOs), which will be assessed. The delivery of
instruction must also be responsive and relevant to the needs of the times.
These are the various Learning Delivery Modalities from the Department of
Education.
Distance Learning
This refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place between the teacher
and the learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction.
Modular Distance
Learning is in the form of individualized instruction that allows learners to use self-
learning modules (SLMs) in print or digital format/electronic copy, whichever is applicable in
the context of the learner and other learning resources like Learner’s Materials, textbooks,
activity sheets, study guides and other study materials.
Online Distance Learning
It features the teacher as facilitator, engaging learners’ active participation through the
use of various technologies accessed through the internet while they are geographically remote
from each other during instruction.
Home Schooling
This is an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) that aims to provide learners with access to quality
basic education through a home-based environment to be facilitated by qualified parents,
guardians or tutors who have undergone relevant training.
Blended Learning
This refers to a learning modality that allows for a combination of a face-to-face and
online distance learning (ODL), face-to-face and modular distance learning (MDL), face-to-face
and TV/Radio-Based Instruction (RBI), and face-to-face learning and a combination with two or
more types of distance learning.
Traditional Face-to-Face Learning
This refers to a learning delivery modality where the students and the teacher are both
physically present in the classroom, and there are opportunities for active engagement,
immediate feedback, and socio-emotional development of learners.
Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM)
Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) are tried and tested alternative modalities of education
delivery within the confines of the formal system that allow schools to deliver quality education
to marginalized students and those at risk of dropping out in order to help them overcome
personal, social and economic constraints in their schooling.
LEARNING MODALITIES
On Campus
Teaching learning happens when all the students are in the same physical space.
On-Line
Teaching-Learning activities that are managed is an online environment.
Situated
Teaching-learning activities done in field word, practicum or off site.

 Use professional reflection and learning to improve practice. (PPST 7.4.1)
Clarify your Task

We choose the most appropriate or suitable resources or instructional materials based on
our lesson objectives or learning outcomes. Even when technology-based educational materials
abound, the teacher still needs to be competent in selecting and developing resources and
materials that are not ICT-based. Teachers should know how to be resourceful in tapping non-
digital or conventional resources and materials available in the area and situation.
Any book on educational technology or instructional materials would usually devote some
pages to Edgar Dale’s Cone of Experience. It is a classic model articulating the different types of
audiovisual materials and how these audiovisual types relate to each other. Seventy-five years
ago, in 1946, Dale already identified ten classifications of instructional materials, which remain
to be relevant today, namely: (1) Direct, Purposeful Experiences; (2) Contrived Experiences; (3)
Dramatic Participation; (4) Demonstrations; (5) Field Trips; (6) Exhibits; (7) Motion Pictures;
(8) Radio/Recordings/Still Pictures; (9) Visual Symbols and (10) Verbal Symbols.
According to Dale, “The cone device is a visual metaphor of learning experiences, in
which the various types of audiovisual materials are arranged in the order of increasing
abstractness as one proceeds from direct experiences.” As such, the Cone of Experience can be
seen more as a continuum, not just a hierarchy. It is a way to see instructional materials in a
continuum from increasing concreteness in one direction to increasing abstractness in the other.
Jerome Bruner explained the three ways by which we can represent knowledge. These
representations are: 1. Enactive – which involves movement and physical manipulation, 2.
Iconic – which involves pictures and images; and 3. Symbolic – which involves symbols like
letters and numbers. Both the teachers and students make representations of knowledge. The
teachers, when they teach or impart knowledge, and by learners when they show or demonstrate
what they have learned.
Ideally, the more direct and real the experiences given to students to learn something, the
better is the opportunity for learning. However, it is not always possible to do so. For instance,
during the pandemic, all classes switched to flexible learning utilizing online modalities, TV,
Radio and printed modules.
As you work on this episode, remember you take role of an FS student now participating
and assisting the work of selecting non-digital or conventional resources and instructional
materials. You are not simply a detached observer, but you are now a participant as well. You
are more involved in the tasks, becoming more and more a teacher!
Be mindful that you are also developing yourself as a teacher-researcher. Always use your
capacity to notice what is going well? Or what can be missing; what can be improved? What can
be a new way of doing things? Then focus on finding out the answers to these questions. That as
a teacher, you can always find ways to do things better and more effectively. Also, aim to
develop the confidence to try and initiate to continuously improve your skills.
Revisit your infographics on the Dale Cone of experiences showing types of audiovisual
instructional materials and the selection criteria and steps in using instructional materials.
(Today, some of these materials can be described as multi-sensory, not just audio-visual.) They

Clarify Your Task

An app, (a shorter way of saying application) is a kind of software which can be installed
in various gadgets – a desktop, laptop, smartphone, and tablet. There are thousands of apps, each
with specific functions. A wide range of functions among others includes, ordering food, getting
a ride, getting a date, doing bank transaction and even praying and meditating. Now, there are
those that are directly useful for teaching and learning which can be referred to as educational
apps. Whether is face-to-face, blended, or fully online, a vast number of apps can truly enhance
the teaching-learning process.
The judicious use of apps can make the teaching-learning process more effective,
efficient, and equally important, more fun and satisfying for both the teacher and the students.
The teacher can use apps in the different stages of planning, preparation, implementation and
assessment. Teacher use apps to prepare high-impact presentations that help them deliver
content. Teachers also use apps to motivate students to participate, resulting in greater and more
enjoyable engagement. Apps are also used to assess, document ad report performance and
achievement.
Your task in this episode is to demonstrate our skills in choosing and using
appropriate applications, enhancing both the delivery of content and the learning and
mastery of the students. You will accomplish this as you participate and assist in your resource
teacher’s class. Whether the class is purely online or blended, carefully observe how the teacher
utilizes apps for e-learning.
An excellent guide for choosing applications to enhance teaching and learning is the
Pedagogy Wheel Model created under the leadership of Dr. Carrington. There were earlier
precursors, but this model appears to be the most comprehensive so far. The model aligns the
applications to four essential levers. The apps’ section considers what attributes the students will
develop, student motivation, tapping higher-order thinking skills as articulated in Bloom’s
taxonomy and at what level the app will be used in the SAMR Model. You will recall this from
your previous technology class and surely learn even more from this episode.
Apple gave a set of five criteria in selecting apps for teaching. The set of criteria includes
developmental appropriateness, motivation, instructional design, motivation and accessibility.
It is also most likely that you have experienced learning using many of these apps, as a
student. The most popular ones are Canva, Khoot, Mentimeter, Jamboard, Slido, Google slides,
google docs, Flipgrid, etc. And then, some apps are for specific levels and learning areas. For
example, there are hundreds of as for pre-schoolers or kindergarteners, like story books apps,
alphabet and numbers apps, etc. At the same time, there are apps for math, reading, science for
primary, intermediate and secondary or even collegiate levels.
As you work on this episode, remember that you take the role of FS students now
participating and assisting this work of selecting and using apps for more effective teaching
and learning. You are inching closer to shifting the role from being a student to being the
teacher.
Additionally, you take the role of a future researcher. Always use your capacity to notice
what is going well? Or what can be missing, what can be improved? What can be a new way of
doing things? Then focus on finding out the answers to these questions. This is to develop in you
the disposition as a teacher-researcher. That as a teacher, you can always find ways to do things
better and more effectively. Also, aim to develop the confidence to try and initiate to
continuously improve your skills.
Revisit the Pedagogy wheel infographics that follow. The links and QR codes are

also included. Exciting!
The Pedagogy Wheel Model
“With Allan Carrington’s Pedagogy Wheel Model, teachers have an at-hand reference
that ties apps to specific learning outcomes directly connected to modern pedagogies and
theories. They can easily sit with the wheel during lesson planning to find tools that will best aid
their students or us them during class time to extend or deepen learning towards a specific 21 st-
century skill or content area. This connection of theory, practice, and application make the
Pedagogy Wheel and invaluable resource that should be on the wall of every classroom.”

Clarify Your Task

The learning environment has recently radically changed. No one would have anticipated
that a pandemic would shift the four corners of the brick-and-mortar classroom to classroom to
the four corners of a computers screen, a tablet, or even a cell phone! While we believe teachers
should be competent in organizing and sing resources in a physical classroom, a future teacher
must be adept in utilizing technology to set up, design, work and tech in a virtual
classroom.
A virtual classroom is usually supported by a platform generally regarded as a learning
management system (LMS) in a flexible learning modality involving online learning.
LMS is course organizer software. It helps teacher plan, create, manage, and deliver
online education programs (Habulan, 2016.) The most common ones are Canvas, Moogle,
Google Classroom, Blackboard, Microsoft teams, Seasaw, and our local one is Genyo.
As you have learned from your Technology for Teaching and Learning classes, Learning
Management Systems have features and functions that help teachers manage an online
classroom. These features and functions are called by different names deending on the LMS
platform.
Below are some of the LMS common features and the functions and tasks that
teachers are able to use:
1. Dashboard – allows the teacher to see all his/her class/course cards.
2. Module Container – uploads modules and organize them.
3. Sandbox – a workplace that will enable teachers to make drafts or explore the functions
and practice setting up a subject or course.
4. Announcements – communicate with students regarding instruction, reminders and
changes.
5. Discussion boards – set up discussion boards; make students collaborate
6. Meeting rooms – allow the teacher to present lessons and discuss with students
synchronously; enables learners to collaborate on a task/project
7. Assignment – allows orderly giving and scoring assignments
8. People – see who are the embers of the class, get to know the learners more through their
profiles.
9. Assessments/Quizzes – administer formative and summative assessments
10. Resources and add-ons – share and store files, use apps that support or supplement the
other functions of the LMS
Your task in this episode is to participate and assist in virtual learning environment
through LMS. Notice how the teacher organized her virtual classroom. Apply your skills in
facilitating the teaching and learning process by participating in one or more of the teacher tasks
discussed above.
In this episode, consider what you learned in your technology class about the TPACK
model. An effective teacher has technological, pedagogical and content knowledge, TK, PK, and
CK. In planning, setting up, and utilizing a virtual environment through an LMS, these three
components interface. You need to have content mastery of what you will teach (CK). You also
need to know how to facilitate the teaching-learning process from beginning (gaining students’
attention) to end (assessment and transfer)(PK); and have technological knowledge (TK).
When you apply your technological knowledge to deliver accurate and relevant content
using the most appropriate pedagogical strategies in the context of a virtual learning
environment, and the learners achieve the learning outcomes, boom! You have successfully
interfaced TPACK!
As you work on this episode, actively notice, analyze and reflect on your experience. As
an FS student, participate and assist will on organizing and using the learning management
system as you apply your technological, pedagogical, pedagogical and content knowledge
(TPACK). Be attentive to your role as a future teacher-researcher as well. Continually discover
more effective ways of interfacing TPACK. When you do, you will become a teacher that
initiates well-thought-of ways to improve and enhance virtual teaching and learning.
Revisit the infographic on TPACK and how it relates to Learning Management Systems
(LMS). You may open the LMS sites on the internet to see how they are structured. You can try-
out how the different functions and tools work. It will help you recall and focus once more on
various learning management systems that serve as platform for virtual classrooms.

 Identify features and functions of web conferencing applications that are useful to
instruction.
 Demonstrate skills in using a web conferencing app for synchronous teaching and
learning. (PPST 4.5.1)
 Demonstrate positive attitude towards using of technology tools. (ICT CST 7.1.2)
 Use professional reflection and learning to improve practice.( PPST 7.4.1)
Clarify Your Task

The call of the times has made it more necessary for future teachers like you to develop
skills in planning, implementing and managing remote learning. One form of remote learning is
done online. Online remote learning can be done synchronous, where the teacher and students
meet and interact in real time and asynchronous, when learning is supposed by prepared
materials and there is no real time interaction between the teacher and the learners.
This episode will focus on synchronous sessions. In order to hold synchronous classes,
you will need to use web-conferencing apps. Some LMS already have these embedded; some do
not. You will need to know how to access, evaluate and utilize the features and functions of apps
like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Blackboard, Webct, and even Messenger.
Again as in the previous episode, the TPACK Model can guide you in how best to utilize
web-conferencing apps when conducting a synchronous learning experience. Another helpful
model that can guide you is the Community of Inquiry Model (COI). This model identified the
“essential elements in an educational experience.” These elements are (1) the teaching presence,
which is about basic teaching tasks; (2) the social presence, which focuses on establishing a
sense of belonging to a community; and (3) the cognitive presence, which fosters critical
thinking and engagement.
While the educational experience referred to in the COI model may also refer to face-to-
face modality, in this episode, you will use the COI model and its three elements in the context
of online learning, specifically the synchronous class. Review the COI and the three presences
through the infographics in this episode. We also included an infographic on the most common
web-conferencing apps.
As you work on this episode, continue to take the role of a keen observer and an explorer
who seeks to learn more and discover better ways of teaching and learning.
When you notice keenly, analyze critically and reflect deeply, you will strengthen teacher
agency, which is the teacher’s capacity to create impact and exert power.

1. Request your FS resource teacher to allow you to join his/her synchronous classes Have at
least two to three times to observe the classes, and at least two or more times to participate and
assist.
2. Learn how to use the features of the web-conferencing app that your resource teacher is
utilizing. It can be part of a learning management system or a separate one, like Zoom, Skype,
etc. If possible, request the teacher to demonstrate features of the web conferencing app. 3. Ask
the teacher how you can participate or assist in tasks related to conducting the synchronous
classes.
4. Be sure to read all the questions in this episode before you start your observation and
participation. This will help you focus your attention on the essential aspects of your
experience. Have in mind the Community of Inquiry Model. The descriptors under teaching
presence, social presence, and cognitive presence found in the infographic will help you notice,
analyze and reflect very well.

 Cite ways of doing assessment for learning and assessment as learning.
 Explain the effect of assessment for learning and assessment as learning on summative
assessment.
Clarify Your Task

You are expected to observe how assessment for learning and assessment as learning are
implemented in the teaching-learning process.
Three phrases on assessment that we have met in our Assessment courses are assessment
for learning, Assessment as learning and assessment of learning. Assessment for learning is more
known as formative assessment while assessment of learning is called summative assessment.
Several authors claim assessment as learning as self-assessment.
This Episode in concerned mainly with assessment for leaning as assessment as learning.
It touches a little on assessment of learning which is the main focus of the next Episode.
Assessment for learning also referred to as formative assessment implies that assessment
is at the service of learning. Why assess? Based on the phrase “assessment for learning” we
assess to ensure learning. That is why while instruction is in progress; it is wise for the teachers
to check if students are learning or not learning that is expected of them. If students are found not
to be learning what they are expected to learn, right there and then, remedial steps are taken
through formative assessment tasks.
Below are some remarks that students utter that signal their need for assistance which is
the purpose of formative assessment.
The phrase “assessment as learning” implies that assessment itself is already an

opportunity for learning. It is learning by itself, indeed, when students engage in self-assessment,
reflect on their own assessment results and make necessary moves to ensure learning.
Assessment as learning is a concrete manifestation of the concept of learner agency

which means that the learner is ultimately responsible for his/her own learning for nobody can do
the learning for him or her.
Examples of questions that learners ask when they are engaged in assessment as learning
as given below:
Assessment as learning also refers to self-assessment. The learner assesses his/her own
process and so rates himself/herself with the help of a scoring like the one given below:
To understand better formative assessment, let’s compare it with summative assessment. See
Figure below:

Teacher’s class. Note all the information you will information you will need and tasks you
will need to do before working on this episode.

 Interpret scores correctly
 Compute grades based on DepEd’s grading policy
 Report grades to parents meaningfully.
Introduction
It is said that should not study for scores nor grades. Students should study most of all
for learning. It is possible for students to obtain high scores and good grades but did not really
learn that much. What is ideal is for students to get high scores and good grades because they
really learned a lot.
Our world of employment, scholarship grants, etc. still looks at grades as criteria for hiring
and screening for scholarships. So grades have pragmatic value. Therefore, it is best that students
work for good grades that genuinely reflect level of mastery.
Clarify Your Task

In this episode, you will interpret score correctly, compute grades based on the depEd
grading system and report grades to parents/guardians during Parents- Teachers Conference.

Norm and criterion- referenced assessment
Criterion-referenced assessment. In criterion-referenced assessment we compare a
student’s performance against a criterion of success which is the predetermined standard. In
criterion-referenced assessment, each student’s performance is compared directly to the
predetermined standard, without considering how other students performed in the assessment.
Criterion –referenced assessment often use “ cut scores” to place students into categories
such as “ basic” “ proficient” and “ advanced”. Here is an example: The teacher’s intended
learning outcome is “ to solve at least eight out of ten problems on fractions correctly “. Student
A is able to solve ten [10] out of ten correctly, Student b, eight [8] problems and students C, five
words [5]. It is obvious that only student A and B were able to realize the predetermined standard
as stated in the intended learning outcome,” solve at least 8 out of 10 words correctly.” The
performance [ score] of each student is compared against a standard of success set by the teacher.
It is not compared against the performance of the other students.
Norm- referenced assessment. In norm-referenced assessment we compare a student’s

performance with the performance of the students, the norm group, not against a predetermined
standard. The composition of the norm group depends on the assessment . An example is
comparing the performance of grade 6 pupils in Reading in a particular school system to the
performance of nation- wide group of grade six pupils in Reading. The meaning of norm-
referenced score is derived from a comparison of student’s scores against other student’s scores [
as stated in the scores of the norm group] while meaning of a criterion-referenced score is
derived from comparing student’s scores with established criterion of success. The norm –
referenced score will not tell you whether a student met, exceeded, or fell short of the standard of
proficiency. It is the criterion- referenced score that will tell you whether or not a student met the
established standard of success or proficiency
The DepEd Grading System
Review the Policy guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education
Program in DO 8 s. 2015 and the Interim Guidelines for Assessment and Grading in Light of the
Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan in DepEd Order 31 s. 2020. The grading system of the
DepEd is contained in the said DepEd Orders.
Reporting Student’s Progress and Grades to Parents
Students progress and grades are reported to parents through Report Card, Parents- Teachers
conference and written conferences. They are explained below.
Report Card. The Report Card is a standard method of reporting student’s progress and
grades to parents. See sample report card for junior and senior high school from the department
of Education .
https://www.teacher.com/progress-report-card-elementary-jhs/
For a more meaning reporting of student’s progress, the meaning of grades is given. The
DepEd gives the following grade interpretation.
Report can convey letter grades like A,B,C,D and sometimes with + or – a student may get an
A+ or A-, B+ or B-, etc. Some report cards convey numerical grades such AS 85 IN Math, 93 in
English and 88 in Biology. Still other report cards simply have pass or fail. The DepED student
Report Card include affective characteristics such as Makadiyos, Makatao, Maka-bansa and
Maka- kalikasan.
Written Progress Reports. These can be weekly, bi-weekly or monthly reports of the
student’s performance on tests and quizzes, project, oral reports… They also can include
information about the student’s motivation, cooperation and behaviors, as well as suggestions
for how parents can help the student improve his/her performance.
See figure 13 for a sample written progress report.
Figure 13. Kindergarten Written Progress Report

Parents – Teacher Conferences. Durham [2006] asserts that “ parents- teacher” conferences
are both a responsibility and an opportunity.” The education of the learner is the primary
responsibility of parents. In this task od educating children, parents are assisted by the school.
For the benefit of children then it is for best teachers and parents to come together to discuss
their children’s progress. Parent – Teacher Conferences are a perfect avenue for this purpose.
Here are some reminders for schools/teachers to get the most from parent- teacher conferences:
1. Announce the data reminders for card-giving in advance. Or better still the school calendar
which should be given at the beginning of the school year must already include the dates for
card-giving and parent- teacher conference/s. Parents are busy and can’t just be there at the
school’s beck and call.
2. Be positive in approach. Start the conference with something positive and maintain the
positive atmosphere. There is always something good in every student. Even if a student has
performed poorly, try to find at least some areas in which the student has performed well.
3. Be objective . While you should be positive, be truthful and honest. Give an accurate picture
of a student’s performance in order not to give false hopes to parents.
4.Have a listening ear. Act with empathy. Parents are parents. They will tend to favor their
children
5. Don’t project an “ omniscient “ image. You don’t know all the answers to questions. Refer
the parents to the right person. Examples, the Physics teacher if the problem is the child’s
performance in physics.
6. Practice good communication skills. Communicate criteria for grading. Have a dialogue not a
monologue where the only one talking is you or only the parent].
7. Don’t talk about other students. The focus of the parent-teacher conference should only be the
parent’s child. Never compare the child with other students.
8. End with an encouraging note in the same that you began with a positive note. It is not the end
of the world.
Reporting
Schools schedules Card Getting Day and parents- Teachers Conference [ PTC] which are an
opportunity for parents and teachers to discuss about students’ performance and grades to make
sense of scores and grades . Unfortunately, based on observation, not all parents can attend PTC
and most often it is the parents of students with problematic performance that can’t come for
PTC.
Note to Student Teacher: As you participate and assist your FS Resource Teacher in

episode.

At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to write an initial Action Research
Plan.
Clarify Your Task

Developing an Initial Action Research Plan
“A good plan is half of the work done” goes a saying.
Planning is an important sill that every teache3r should have Just like lesson
planning, doing research requires a double plan. It sets a direction where one is going,
how to go there, why should one go there, and above all, what is there to accomplish.
The ultimate goal of doing action research is improve teacher’s practices in order
to improve learning. It requires one to e reflective, observant, and inquiring and must be
ready to take action.
Any research action plan should be placed in writing, just like a lesson plan. This
is what we are going to do.
Clarify Your Task

The first four episodes of this FS workbook helped you learn the important purposes and
the process involved in doing action research.
The rest of the episodes focused on crucial aspects of teaching and learning. While you
assisted and participated, the episode questions guide you notice, analyze and reflect on your
experiences. You also identified issues and problems or areas of improvement and then thought
of interventions, innovations, or strategies to address them (Action Research Prompts). You are
now ready elaborate or expand these action research prompts.
In this final episode, your task is to written an initial action research plan. Any research
action plan should be planned and written well. Put together what you learned about action
research and all insights you gained in working on the past FS 2 episodes.

As you become more skilful in doing action research, you may like to use the McNiff &
Whitehead (2014) or DepEd DO 16 (2017) models.
ACTION RESEARCH
COMPONENTS
We said at the beginning that all teachers can make an Action Research. It is easy to do it.
Let’s try doing it. Today, you shall develop a Plan for our Action Research by following the
simple cycle.
Use the following steps of the model. Your answer to the Key Questions in each step will
guide you in making your plan.
 Step 1: OBSERVED. Observe and notice to identify the common problems.
Key questions:
 What common problem have I observed and noticed?
 Can I translate the problem into questions?
 Why is the problem important to me as a future teacher?
 Why is the problem important to the learners?
 What I have I read and learned about this problem in my previous courses?
 What do references say about the problem,?
 Step 2: REFLECT: Start to reflect on the identified problem. However, reflection is

done all throughout the action research process.
Key questions:
 Is there a way to solve the identified problem? How will I do it?
 Is looking for a solution or answer to the problem worth doing?
 Will solving the problem improve my teaching practice? How?
 Will it improve my skill as a researcher and reflective teacher?
 Step 3: PLAN FOR ACTION. Appropriate action or solution to the problem in a

plan.
Key questions:
 What probable action will I make? Will my intervention be doable?
 How will I describe my intervention, innovation, or actions to address the
identified problem?
 How long will it take to implement the intervention, action or innovation?
 With whom shall I work with?
 Will the results be use of? How?
 Step 4: ACTION on the PLAN: This step wil l be done during the Teaching
Internship for FS 2 if given the time. You may collaborate with your mentor or your
classmate.
Notice
Remember: Noticing is making sense of your observations and making interpretation to adapt to
the situation. It begins with paying attention that leads to interpretation and deciding what action
should be taken.
Making a capsule Action Research Plan will prepare you to undertake an actual Action
research. You will be able to assist your mentor to do similar research together.

We said at the beginning that all teachers could make an Action Research. It is easy to do it.
Let’s try doing it. Today, you shall develop a Plan for our Action Research by following the
simple cycle. You will share your output with your mentor for an opportunity to work together.
Topic you chose: (from the past episodes)

Writing Action Research Prompt page : _______________________
Model A:
Activity 1: Developing an Initial Research Action Plan
A. Observe/ Notice
What problem/ concern have I noticed that affect teaching-learning?
Example response. The problem I have noticed is that there is a lot of competition in the
classroom. The slow learners are left behind.
 Write your own observed/ noticed classroom here:

__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can the slow
learners be helped? How will be done?
Example response. I think most of the activities are very competitive. There are always
winners and losers. The smart students overrule the poor students thus often they
continue to be losers. With situation, I believe, that I should modify my classroom
strategy.
 Write your reflective response to the problem you stated:

__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
C. Plan for Action

Key questions:
- What will I do as a teacher to solve the problem?
- How will I describe my intervention, innovation, or actions to the identified problem
- How long will it take to introduce the intervention?

- With whom shall I work?
- What materials do I need?
- Are methods, participants, data collection, time table considered in my Plan for
Action?
Example response: My plan is to introduce cooperative learning in the classroom. I create mixed
ability grouping with fast, average and slow learners in their activities. I will rotate the leadership
in the group, so that each one will have a chance. The bright will assist or help the slow ones. I
will try this out for eight weeks. I think I can work alone with my students. I need only table and
chairs or if not available, arm chairs arranged in circles will be an alternative.
 Write your own Plan of Action Research based on the key questions. You give more details.
