1. RATIONALE
Field Study 4 (FS 4) is a one-unit course. It is one of the series of sequential studies in the
Bachelor in Elementary Education and Bachelor in Secondary Education Programs (BEED and
BSED). This Field Study is linked to Professional Education subjects such as Curriculum
Development, Principles of Teaching 1 & 2, and Teaching Strategies.
FS 4 focuses on planning whole lessons, the preparation of instructional materials, and team
teaching with the Cooperating Teacher and other Pre-service Teachers.
The second focus of FS 4 is for Pre-Service Teachers to explore the curriculum and gain
knowledge and understanding of its vital role towards student learning. In this field study, the
PSTs closely work and collaborate with the cooperating teachers in making lesson plans. In the
process, the PSTs start to explore the curriculum by choosing the appropriate subject matter to
teach, motivational activities and teaching strategies.
Team teaching is a feature of many school activities this is important that the PSTs will develop
awareness of the skillsanunderstanding of the teaching-learning process and the need to work
collaboratively. The pre-service student teachers will also be immersed in activities that will give
them the opportunities to plan, teach and learn how to evaluate the learners’ performance.
In FS 4, the PSTs should manifest skills such asplanning, teaching, managing a class,
evaluating sequences of activities for individual and whole classes via team teaching. PSTs will
also design instructional materials and develop a professional portfolio.

cooperating teachers and TEI Practicum Supervisors. They will engage in the planning and
team teaching of lessons utilizing various teaching techniques. The PSTs will work closely with
their cooperating teachers. Initially they will either start the lesson; they will teach at the middle
of the lesson or they will end the lesson.
FS 4 will allow PST’s to apply and verify knowledge gained through exposure to the existing
curriculum. It shall also provide insights on how the curriculum can be effectively implemented.
This includes analyzing the mission-vision of the school relative to the existing curriculum. The
PST’s will also examine the resources available and reflect on how these support the
implementation of the curriculum. They will also look at the class schedule, room assignment
and teacher’s assignment in the effective implementation of the curriculum.
This course will further enrich the students’ experiences in preparing teaching aids for
classroom use such asmanipulative hands-on materials or self-learning kits.

5. COURSE CONTENT
A. Classroom Observation
Observation is an important technique employed in the monitoring of the teaching learning
situation. Observational activities are important means of gathering evidences that would be of
help to pre-service teachers. These would serve as guide in the actual team teaching. The
observationof the examples of teacher’s activities and students’ activities given will further serve
as guide in completingtheactual teaching activities.
B. Exploring Curriculum
A commonly held belief is that curriculum is known as the list of subjects. Others define it as a
prospectus, a guide for every course or program. However, curriculum includes the life that
encompasses the school. It is anchored on what the school envisions for learners, how it
achieves this and when.
An effective curriculum contains the following aspects:
a. a clear and specific path on what learning is to be achieved by the learners;
b. a clear and specific path on how learning is to be achieved. It provides and
communicates clear learning objectives suited and appropriate to the level of the
learners;
c. a clear and specific path on what teaching methods and strategies to use, and how
this is supported by appropriate learning materials and learning activities.
2. Second Dimension Questions – interpret between lines because the facts are not di-
rectly or literally mentioned but the idea is being inferred.
Ex. What good are meatless Fridays to people?
3. Third Dimension Questions – require understanding and grasping fully the author’s ideas
including supplementary meanings like asking How and Why.
Ex. Do you like the title of the story? Why?
4. Fourth Dimension Questions – require judging the worth of ideas and effectiveness of
presentation.
Ex. What would you consider as good qualities of the Filipino families? Explain.
D. Instructional Materials
There are several types of Instructional Materials that teachers use in their day-to-day teaching
activities. These materials can arouse and sustain the interest and attention of the learners. It
can concretize abstract concepts/ideas to promote meaningful learning. They also assist
learning because of the rich experiences that they provide.
With the proper selection and use of instructional devices or educational media, learning
becomes more permanent (Garo, 2004).
Audio–Visual materials
a. Audio-media are materials or sounds that are transmitted, produced or received
through high fidelity waves which are heard through certain equipment like radio
broadcast and recordings.
b. Visual materials are representations of direct reality, which come in the form of signs
and symbols like cartoons, pictures, posters, drawings/sketches, diagrams, charts,
graphs, strip drawing/comics strip and maps.
E. Lesson Planning
Teachers need to plan to integrate what is to be taught and how to carry it out effectively.
Teaching is not a haphazard process. The highly interactive and demanding nature of
the classroom requires that a teacher plans thoroughly to maximize student learning.
The goal of planning should always be student-learning.
Types of Daily Lesson Plan
1. Detailed Lesson Plan – This presents both the teacher’s activity and the learners’
activity under procedure or strategies.
2. Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan – This includes only the teacher’s activity under
procedure or strategies.
3. Brief Lesson Plan – This show only the main parts of the lesson plan and excludes
that are intended to ask.
Format of the Lesson Plan
Different authors suggest different components or format of a lesson plan. However, most agree
that it should contain the following essential parts:
1. Purposes or Objectives or Targets
2. Subject Matter
3. References and Materials
4. Procedures or Strategies
5. Evaluation Techniques
6. Assignment or Agreement
F. TEAM TEACHING
Taska
At this point, you are now ready to conduct Team Teaching with your co-Pre-service teacher.
Ask for the lesson/ subject matter from your Cooperating Teacher. Plan the lesson with your
buddy and the CT and have it checked by your Cooperating teacher. Once it is checked,
prepare the visual materials appropriate for your subject matter.
Activity: Teach the lesson in collaboration with your CT and your buddy.
(discuss who will do what first)
