Analyze:
1.From the PPSTs the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency
Standards and the TEDx videos that you viewed, what
competencies does a great teacher possess?
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional
competencies?
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.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important – personal
qualities or professional competencies.
5. Who are the teachers we remember most?
Reflect:
Which personal traits do I possess? Not Possess? Where do I
need Improvement in?
Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of
demonstrating?
In which competencies do I need to develop more?

Based on your activity on Making a List of Completed Action
Research Titles, lets find out what you have noticed by
answering the following questions.
Questions My Answer
1. What have you noticed 1. Identified problem to be solved in
about the action research title no. 1
titles? Do the action

3. Identified problem to be solved in
If Yes, Identify the title no. 3

the space provided. title no. 4
Analyze:
Action Research seems easy and familiar. Since teaching seems
to be full of problematic situation and that the teacher has
responsibility of finding solution for everyday problems in
school, hence teachers should do action research. This is an
exciting part of being a teacher, a problem solver!
Let us continue to examine and analyze what you have noticed
and interpreted in the previous activity.
Key Questions My Answer

Title: The Face-to-Face Learning Environment
7 Virtual Learning
Environment Safe
and Conducive
Unlike the traditional face-to-face 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 corners or walls and it
can be set up with the support of technology.
As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement
in your virtual class?
Analyze
Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of
on-line learning environment? Check one or more.
It was difficult to observe the physically behavior of the
students.
It takes time for students to learn how to use the
platform.
Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty
to make responses.
Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a
Reflect conducive environment.

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