TEACHING BELIEFS
Teaching is one of the noblest professions that exist. It is not an easy
profession because you need an adjustment on it. You will deal with the differences
of the students as well as with their parents.
It is hard but self fulfilling profession that can make everyone happy although
problems are cannot be avoided. As a teacher, you must know how to handle
problems especially when it comes to your class. You are expected to solve it
because you are the head of the class.
Being a teacher you should always have a positive disposition, it can help
you to motivate and lift up your students whenever they feel down. A good teacher
teaches from the heart not from the book. Our knowledge from the book is just a
finite thing and often we forget about it, in just a hour or minute. But when the
teacher has something to do with that knowledge, it will be remember by the
students as they remember the teacher, it will be inculcated in their mind that their
teacher teaches them such kind of things. As a teacher, we should teach good things
to the students, not only this but the most precious job of a teacher is molding with
developing the students to be a better one and help them reach the star they dream.

Banisil National High School is near the highway, located beside Banisil
Elementary School. And it is located within the residential area.
2.
They have clean and green campus. You can see many trees which give
shades and they also plant vegetables in different parts of their campus they
also have small cottages where you can stay and rest. Their buildings are
good and most of it is painted with color green and blue, there is also a new
building. The only problem in that school is it is very dusty.
3.
As to their principals office, it is very welcoming and well-ventilated, that

is why it is very comforting to stay there. But other offices look likes an
ordinary classroom and very small.

I did not found out other facilities in that school. Their facilities are just
like with the other schools which I think not convenient for the students,
teachers and other staffs.

My Analysis
1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact on the
learning of the students going to school? What are your conclusions?
In the classroom that we observed, since you cant find any learning
materials except for the limited books in the bookshelf, I think it would be
boring for the students to learn because their classroom is very plain. But
since their classroom is new they can improve it to make learning more
exciting. The school campus as a whole, for me has a friendly environment.
The learning environment can affect the learning process of the
students, whether it can help them in their needs or can disturb them.
2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent

development? How does this relate to your knowledge to your knowledge of
facilitating learning?
If the learning environment of the child is very conducive for him he might
develop well and learn easily. For example if the classroom is well-ventilated it is
very comfortable for every learner which can result to a better understanding of
their lesson because there is no disturbance and they can concentrate in their
lesson.
As a teacher, you must know how to make your classroom more
conducive for learning. It is up to you on how you beautify your classroom to
make your students comfortable and be interested to come always to school and
learn new things. You can also benefits to this because if this happens it would
be easy also for a teacher to discuss lessons in the class since the students can
focus to the discussion.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
My Reflections
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why or
why not?
Yes, because I like their school environment with many trees. I also
observed that the students were respectful and the teachers were also
friendly. Regarding to their classroom, it depends on the teacher on how she
make her classroom conducive for learning.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?

A campus that is conducive to learning is a campus which is free from
any disturbance. And it should be a child-friendly so that the students will not
be afraid to go to school. Lastly the school should have enough facilities for
learning and space for different kinds of activities.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

A classroom with complete facilities use in learning and because we are
now in technology era a conducive classroom now is a classroom which has
computers, projectors and other facilities which make teaching-learning
process easier. A conducive classroom also is well ventilated and not
crowded.
4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?

I will limit my students into 40 or depends upon the size of the
classroom. I will also have visual aids that can help my students in their
lessons and I think computers or laptops is not a problem nowadays since
almost of the students have it now.

5. Write your additional learning and insights here.

Learning environment has a big impact to teaching and learning
process. If the learning environment is very conducive, the learners can easily
learn because they are free from any disturbance and they are comfortable
with their environment. It will be easy for the teachers to facilitate learning.

Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
PHYSICAL:
As i observed the students go downstairs to transfer in their classroom, most
of the girls walked slowly while boys would run. When they do things, their actions
were harsh that sometimes they hurt physically their classmates.
Regarding with their handwriting, some of them have a good penmanship
while others are not good but you can still read it. Some of the students also have a
talent in drawing.
SOCIAL:
They interact to their teacher with respect. They talk to their teacher but I
observed that they know their boundaries. Moreover, to their classmates they have a
very good relationship, they were close and comfortable to each other. They love to
talk about different stuffs. Girls are making selfie while boys talk about computer
games and gadgets.
EMOTIONAL:
Students at their age always seem to be happy, they often smile. I observed
that they enjoy all the things they do. There were also times that their moods shift;
others get angry with their classmates because of misunderstanding. Whenever they
want something from their classmates, they want to get it right away and they cannot
wait. They are also self-conscious especially the girls.
COGNITIVE:
The language that the students commonly used inside and outside their
classroom is Cebuano; they are fluent in using this language. I also observed that
they are uttering vulgar words whenever they got angry to someone and sometimes
they just like to say it.
In comprehending their lessons, they cannot comprehend easily, the teacher
must have a deeper explanation about the lesson in order for them to understand.

My Reflections
1 While you were observing the learners, did you recall your
own experiences when you were their age? What similarities
or differences do you have with learners you observed?
Whenever we do our observation, I really smile because I can
see myself in the past 3 years to the students that I observed. There
is always a flashbacks when I see them doing things that I also did
when I as in their age. Just like them I always wanted to talk to my
friends during our breaktime, my friends and me talked about the
things we like or the current television program. But if the students
that I observed were very comfortable with all their classmates, in
my case I am just comfortable with my friends and I interact and
talk less with my other classmates.
I am also conscious with my physical appearance but unlike
them, I am not applying make ups and lipstick, I just comb my hair
and apply a powder on my face.
2 Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative
reasons. How did she/he help you with your needs (physical,
emotional, social, and cognitive)? How did it affect you?
I always remember my first year adviser since she was my
very first teacher I high school. I become close to her because she
always talked to me and she always assigned me as a leader
whenever we have an activity and even in doing classroom chores.
It really affects me especially in terms of social development
because before I enter high school I am not a sociable person, I
rather stay alone at the corner than to interact with other person.
But because what she did to me, as a leader I should interact to my
classmates in order for me to to share my opinions and suggestions
regarding to our class activity. I also develop a little self-confidence
because I can no talk and interact with more people.
3 Share your other insights here?
Students in a classroom have a different behavior and as a
teacher you must know how to adjust and deal with their behavior.
The teacher must correct the wrong behaviors of his/her students
and must teach them the right one. Students behavior must be
develop well inside the classroom.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
Teachers have always a responsibility to their students

development; they must shape their students well and must comply
the needs of the students in terms of learning.
My Portfolio
Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this
guide you as a future teacher?
Clip some readings about this theory and paste them here.
By the use of Piagets Development theory, I will be guided on
how I will handle my class in th future.
Based on it (the role of maturation) i should have a class
routin and procedure that will suit to the ages, needs and capacity
of my students. And if I will have an activity I should also based on
what kind of learners are they. Lastly, as a teacher I should not
expect an extraordinary performance from my students instead I
should develop their skills and capabilities as they mature.

An Observation Guide for the Classroom Visit

Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
Be guided by these questions as you do your observation of the

classroom management. It is also good to ask the teacher for the
additional information so you can verify your observation. Write your
notes below; and then organize your data in the table that follows.
1 Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes
(storage of teaching aids, books, students belongings,
supplies, etc.) Describe these areas.
At the back portion of the classroom, there is a small
bookshelf where you can find limited textbook and I think it is not
used. While outside the classroom at the lobby, they have a shoe
rack because in their school they are not allowed to wear shoes
inside the classroom.
2 Are there rules and procedures posted in the room?
There were no rules and procedures posted in the room and
you cannot see anything posted in their wall since they had just
transferred in a new classroom.
3 Did the students participate in making the classroom rules?
(Ask the Resource Teacher)
Since the rules were made for the students to follow, every
students had given the chance to suggest what rules should be
impost. Everyone cooperated in making classroom rules and even
the teacher gave her on rules too.
4 What are the daily routines done by the teacher? (Prayer,
attendance, assignment of monitors, warm-up activities.
Etc.) How are they done?
The teacher starts the class by reviewing their past lesson and
asking the students if there are any assignments given. Since she is
pregnant she discussed her lesson briefly and instead of lecturing she
is giving activities to the class so that she will not talk a lot.
5 Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this
arrangement?
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
In the classroom that we have observed the seating

arrangement is based on the gender of the students. In the left side
are the boys and girls on the right.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
6 Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this

managed?
Since the class often does a group activity, they cannot avoid
to make some noise because they have to share different ideas. If
someone is very noisy the teacher will call his/her attention and by
doing this the students will be quiet. Although their teacher cannot
talk a lot, they still respect the teacher by not making any
disturbing and annoying noise.
7 If a learner is nit following instruction or off-task, what does
the teacher do? Describe the behavior strategies used.
If the teacher observed that there is someone who is not
participating in the class activity, she will call the attention of the
student and will warn that she will deduct a points to his/her grade.
The teacher will motivate the students through giving rewards
amd punishments, she is giving additional points to those who
participate well in activity and deduct some points to those who not.
8 What does the teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors?
(behavior strategies)
There were times that the class is not doing well, making
some annoying behaviors, if this happen the teacher will remind the
students about their grades. She will say that if the students will
keep quiet or behave well they can have good grades but if they do
not they might fail.
Observation Notes:
The classroom that we have observed was not really organized since they
had just transferred to it. You cannot see any visual aids posted in the wall and
they lack some facilities that can help the students in their class and can make
the classroom more beautiful. But I believe that they can improve it soon.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
In their lesson proper, I can say that the teachers daily routine is good,
atleast by reviewing their past lesson, the students can remember what they had
tackled in their previous meeting before going to the next topic. I observed also
that the teacher is good in handling the students and managing the class. She
has the authority over her students which make the students follow her
instruction, and she manage the class more effectively by the used of
conditioning.

Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY

means of giving high

grade or additional
points
My Analysis
1 How did the classroom organization and routines affect the
learners behavior?
Regarding with their classroom organization, since their
classroom is new and the wall is very plain, they also lack some
facilities that will beautify their classroom, the students cannot
appreciate and get bored to stay in the classroom. As to their
seating arrangement, although it is nice to see that girls are
separated from girls, there is a tendency that they will make noise
because almost of them seated beside their friends.
In their routines, because they do it daily they already know
what to do everyday from the start of the class up to the end.
2 What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs

the classroom organization and routines? What theories and
principles should you have in mind?
The teacher should consider first what kind of learners she
had, what are their needs, what do they like and dislikes, and
everything about her students before planning on how she will
organize her class. The teacher should always remember that she is
doing all of this for her students and not for herself. She must
design a classroom organization that will suit to her students.
Lastly, she must have a classroom organization and routines that
can encourage her students to learn and go to school everyday.
3 Which strategies were effective in managing the behavior of

the learners? In motivating students? Why were they
effective?
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
Using the two kinds of conditioning, classical and operant

conditioning are the most effective strategies in motivating student,
even in managing their behavior. Using the extrinsic reinforcement
like giving additional points will surely help the teacher to manage
the behavior of the students. And with the use of intrinsic
motivation, the teacher can motivate the students by helping them
understand the importance of learning.
They were effective because as I observed our cooperating
teacherdoing and applying it, the students really listen and follow
what she say and the students really strive to get high scores
My Reflections
1 Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In
what grade/year level do you see yourself? What routines and
procedures would you consider for this level? Why?
If I am to organize my classroom in the future I really like and
love to handle a grade 7 class because I think students in this level is
easy to handle and deal with and they will follow the teachers
instruction since they are liitle bit afraid of what will happen to them in
their high school life.
I will also impost or have a very simple routines and procedures
that will suit to their age and needs, like checking the attendance,
reviewing past lessons and fun activities and games that they will
surely like because they are not really matured and they are just
starting their high school life,
2 Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this

level. Why would you choose these rules?
*Respect one another
*Be discipline.
*Be responsible.
I chose these rules because I think these are the basic rules
that the students should always remember. These are very basic but
most of the students do not know about it.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
Respect one another so that there will be peace and unity in every
learner.
Be responsible so that learning and studying would be easy for them.
Be discipline so that the students can follow all the rules and will know
how to handle themselves.
3 Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
Yes, the learners should be involved in making classroom rules
and the rules should be from their own opinions and suggestions.
Since classroom rules are made for the students to follow, they should
also make it because if they made their own rules they will be
responsible and ready to follow it. The teachers part here is just to
guide and remind the students about their classroom rules and she
may suggest some rules that she thinks can help her students.

My Map
The learners individual differences and the type of interaction
they bring surely affect the quality of teaching and learning. This
episode is about observing and gathering data to find out how student
diversity affects learning.
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day (beginning of
the day, class time, recess, etc.)
Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age,
gender, and social and cultural diversity.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the
classroom.
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and
practices that she uses in dealing with diversity in the classroom.
Step 5. Analyze the impact of individual differences on learners
interaction.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
My Tools
Use the activity form provided for you to document your
observations.
An Observation Guide for the Learners Characteristics
Read the following carefully before you begin to observe.
Then write your observation report on the space provided. Then
write your observation report on the space provided on the next
page.
1 Find out the number of students, Gather data as to their
ages, gender, racial groups, religious and ethnic
backgrounds.
The students in the classroom range from 40-45. There are
many boys than girls and they almost have the same ages (15-16
years old). They have different ethnic backgrounds and religions,
some of them are Christians and other is Muslim. Most of them
are Cebuano.
During Class:
1 How much interaction is there in the classroom?
Describe how the students interact with one another and
with the teacher. Are there groups that interact more
with the teachers than others do?
They interact normally although they have different racial
groups and religions, but because their ages range in almost the
same level, they have common interests that make them close to
each other. And all of them were closed to their teacher but they
highly respect their teacher.
2 Observe the Learners seated at the back and the front
part of the room. Do they behave and interact
differently?
I observed that those students seated at the front are more
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
active in participating in the class than those at the back.

Students at the front behave well because the teacher can see
directly what they are doing, although the teacher gives attention
to students at the back, they can do whatever they want that
their teacher cannot notice. Since the teacher is pregnant she sit
most of the time, she interact more to students at the front.
3 Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the
learners cooperate with or compete against each other?
The learners cooperate with each other. I can see this
everytime they are doing their class activity. Most of them
cooperate and give opinions regarding to their activity. But of
course competition is always present in a classroom because
students want to be recognize when they excel in the class.
4 Which students participate actively? Which students ask
for most help?
Students seated in the front especially girls often participate
actively, there were also boys but very few. While those students
seated at the back really need attention and help in order for
them to follow the instruction and participate in class activity and
discussion.
5 When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher
question, do the classmates try to help him? Or they do
raise their hands so that the teachers will call them
instead?
When the teacher asked one student about their lesson and
the student cannot answer the question, other students who
knows the answer raise their hand while saying maam, maam
to be recognized by the teacher.
Outside class:
1 How do the students group themselves outside class?
Homogenously, by age? by gender? by racial or ethnic
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
groups? Or are the students in mixed social groupings? If

so, describe the groupings.
Most of the students group themselves by gender regardless
of their ages and ethnic backgrounds. Each group have their own
topics according to their interests.
2 Describe how the learners interact with each other. What
do they talk about?
Since the students have different groups, they have also
different topics. Most of the girls talk about KPop or Korean
Popular and sometimes about gadgets while boys talk about
computer games and other stuffs.
Observation Report
School Address:
Date of Visit:
September 9, 2014
In the class that we have observed, I can see the differences and
uniqueness of every student. They have different religion, some are
Christians others are Muslim, they also have different racial group and ethnic
backgrounds but they disregard it and interact normally with each other.
Their ages range from 14-16 years old and because of this most of them have
the same interest which influence on how they group themselves inside and
outside the classrooms. Gender is not an issue to them, it is normal that boys
interact to girls and vice versa.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
Despite of many differences they have, they are all friends and interact
to each other without discrimination and bullying although there are
misunderstanding sometimes. They accepted what and who are their
classmates. Inside the classroom, they have unity and good interaction to
everyone.
My Analysis
1 Identify the persons who play key roles in the
relationships and interactions in the classroom. What
roles do they play? Is there somebody who appears to be
the leader, a mascot/ joker, an attention seeker, a little
teacher, a doubter/ pessimist?
In a classroom, students have their own roles. In the class
that we observed, they have a little teacher who takes care the
class and asked by the teacher to give the activities to the class
whenever their teacher is busy and cannot go to their room.
There are passive students also, who are not giving
attention to the class. During their class activity, there is a leader
who really strives to do the given activities and assists her/his
classmate to do the given task.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
2 Are students from the minority group accepted or

rejected by the others? How is this shown?
The students disregard the ethnic background of their
classmates, it is not a matter for them if one of them came from
a minority group and they accepted each other. They respect one
another despite of their differences and have unity inside he
classroom.
3 How does the teacher influence the class interaction
considering the individual differences of the students?
The teacher show to her students that everyone in her
class
is
special
and
unique,
everyone
has
strength
and
weakness.
In their class activity, the teacher groups the students
fairly so that all of her students will have the chance to interact
with their classmates and to know each other better.
4 What factors influence the grouping of learners outside
the classroom?
The interests of the students influence their grouping
outside the classroom. If they have the same likes and dislikes,
they belong to one group.
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
My Reflection
1 How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a
sense of oneness or unity among the learners and
between the teacher and the learners?
The sense of oneness or unity is present in the class that
we observed. It is good to see that everyone accepted the
differences of each other. Regardless of their gender, age and
ethnic identity, they were friends. In addition, the teacher is good
in handling the differences of every learner.
2 In the future, how would you want the learners in your classroom
to interact? How will you make this happen?
As a future teacher, I want my students to interact normally with
each other despite of the differences they would have. I want everyone
to be accepted in the class and all of them should be friends. There
should be no bullies so that there will be unity in my class. And to
make it happen, I will show to my students that all of them is special
and unique. I will always remind them that they should respect
everyone and bullying and racial discrimination is not good.

M y portfolio
Post a collection of quotations advocating for celebrating
diversity in the classroom. Using these quotations, explain how you will
encourage all learners, regardless of religious, ethnic or racial
background to interact and participate well.
By the use f this quotations, it will be easy for me to explain to
my class that despite of their differences they should interact and be
friends to everyone. I can share these quotations to my students so
that they can understand more about the diversity in class.

Students in a classroom would always have different abilities;

there are students who perform well and students who are slow
learners.
In two classes of Mrs. Rivas that we had observed, we see the
differences of each learner. We observed a group of students who
perform well in class and there are also students who seem to be left
behind in their lessons.
Students who perform well in the class (mostly are girls) in class
have shown an interest to their lessons. They listen attentively to their
teacher when she discussed her lessons and give instruction for the
activity they will do. Those students also participate actively to their
class discussion and would be able to answer the given question to
them. And whenever they have a group activity, those students always
lead their group and guide some of their classmate on what to do.
On the other hand, students at the back portion of the classroom
were the students that seem to be behind in the class. They never
show interest to their lessons, they would prefer to do other things
than to listen to their teacher. They were passive and most of the time
they are not learning and cannot answer when the teacher asked them
a question. And sometimes they become burden to group activity
because they cannot do the assigned task to them since they do not
have any idea on what to do.
Mrs. Rivas always call the attention of the students who are not
giving attention to her lectures and she will talk sarcastically to those
students in order for them to know that she is not happy on what they
are doing. When we conducted an interview with Mrs. Rivas, she said
that she wants that all of her students will learn something to her

lessons and to achieve it she motivates her class by giving rewards if

they do well in class and punishment if they dont. But she added that
there were really students who remain passive I class despite of all the
motivations and effort she did.
My Analysis
5 Did your observation match the information given by the
teacher? Were you able to correctly identify who among
the students performed well and who did not? What
behavior helped you identify them? (Volunteering to
answer, responding to teachers direction, etc.)
Yes, Mrs. Rivas confirmed our observation. She said that
girls seated in front really perform well and those students at the
back were slow learners.
I identified students who perform well and slow learners
based on how they perform in their class and their behavior
towards their study. They belong to high achiever students
because they are active in class discussion and they have
confidence to answer questions. And students were slow learners
because they do not have an interest with their lesson and were
busy doing other things instead of listening to their teacher.

class have a confidence
to answer question of their teacher and they always want to sit in

front so that their teacher can recognize them. They also have
the capacity to do task independently. While those students who
were left behind seem to be physically present but mentally
absent and they are not interested to learn.

7 Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the

students differences in abilities. How did the students
respond to the teacher?
The teacher always motivates her students to learn by
giving additional points to those who listen to her discussion. And
she always calls the attention of the students who are not
listening. She is also giving an activity so that her students will
have to do something that can make them involve in the class
and at the same time enjoy her subject.
There were students who follow what the teachers said
and do the given activity but there were some who remain
passive.

My Reflection
3 Recall the time when you were in the elementary or high
school. Recall the high and low achievers in your class.
How did your teacher deal with differences in abilities?
Was your teacher effective?
When I was in high school, most of my classmates were
high achievers since we belong to the first section but we also
have classmates that were left behind. Our teacher especially in
Math discussed our lesson fast that would suit to the abilities of
those high achievers and low achievers cannot cope up with the
lesson. But our teacher also pays attention to those slow learners
by calling their attention and most of the times letting them
answer board activities so that she would know if her students
learn from her lecture.
We also did group tutoring, our teacher groups us based on
our abilities, 4 high achievers to 1 slow learner. We help our
classmates to cope with our lesson and by doing this we can lift
up those low achievers at the same time we can share our
different ideas regarding to our topic/lesson. And because of this
group tutoring, we really strive so that our low achiever
groupmate will get high score in quizzes and exams because if
we did our group will gain an additional 5 points.

positive disposition towards his life.
Cognitive Development
In paragraph form, describe the cognitive development of the
observations.
JR is an average student; Mrs. Rivas said that he can comprehend
easily compared to his classmates. While his mother said that he is good in
science. He learn things kinesthetically, he wants to have an activity after
their class so he can understand more their lesson.
Findings
Write here your salient findings about the learner.
Since JR is a kinesthetic learner, his teacher gives some activity that
would suit to his ability and to the learners that has the same ability with JR.
he always move around inside the class because he is learning through it.
Conclusions
Write your conclusions after you have analyzed the impact of the
school and the home on the learners development. The question in
Your analysis portion of this learning episode can help you.
There are family factors that affect the behavior of the student. JR as
the eldest child of the family, he is responsible in his early age and when he
go to school he till have this characteristic. And he, being bossy, I think it is
because he is the eldest so he is superior over his younger siblings.
Moreover, the activities given by the teacher help him to understand the
lesson easily since he is learning by doing.
Recommendations
Write your recommendations.
To JRs parents, I am recommending them to pay more attention to
him especially in his school performance and they should have connection to
JRs teacher so that they can check his progress in school.
For Maam Rivas, I recommend her to have a long patience with JRs

attitude and she should help JR to excel more in class.

And to JR he should continue his attitude being positive and omit those
negative behavior.

My analysis
Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile
will you answer the questions here.
1 From your home visit and interview, what do you think is
the style of parenting experienced by the learner? Explain
your answer.
When I interviewed JRs mother, I discover that they have a
patriarchal family. Their father is the head of the family, all the
decisions depends on the father and the father also discipline the.
They experience a strict parenting especially JR because he is the
eldest child but somehow it has a good effect to him because in
his early age he already know how to be responsible in family.
2
Relating your data with what you learned from child

development, what family factors do you think contribute
to the development and over-all adjustment of the
learner in school?
JR, as the eldest among 7 siblings early developed the
sense of responsibility in him. Since he was expected to be
responsible in doing their household chores and taking care of his
younger sibling, he also adopts this behavior in school (being
responsible in doing classroom chores). As what Maam Rivas said
he is bossy sometimes, I think he developed this kind of
attitude since he is the eldest and he is superior than his younger
siblings.
Does the communication between the home-school have

an effect on the learner? If yes, what are these effects?
Yes, if there is communication between the parents and
teacher of the learner, the parents will have an idea on how their
children doing in class, and they will know if there is any problem
with their children. And the teacher will also know the learners
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
background that would help him/her understand more the learner.

And because of this, both the teacher and parents can help the
learner to do well in school and the learner will be motivated to
do good things towards his study since he know that his teacher
has a connection with his parent and he will be reported if ever
he will do unnecessary things.
My Reflections
1 Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of
parenting did you experience? How did it affect you?
My parents were very strict when it comes to our study. We
dont have many rules in doing household chores because we are
not allowed to do heavy chores but we should spend more our
time in studying. Usually my mother disciplines us because my
father is not staying long in our house because of his work.
Whenever we do wrong, our mother will just reprimand us but
when it comes to our school performance, she is very, very strict.
My mother always challenge us to have a grade of 85 above and
we must be in the top 5 and if we dont, she will reprimand us
again and again as if we did a very bad things. And because of
his, I become a honor student since elementary until I graduated
high school.
As a future teacher, how would you establish good homeschool collaboration? How can you work well with the
parents? How can you help them? How can they help you?
As a future teacher, to have good home-school collaboration, I
should know first the parents of my students and I should be
friends with them to build a good relation. And in order to keep
our good relationship, I will have a rule that the parents should be
Episode 1- The
FIELD STUDY
1:
the one who will get the report card of their children so that we
will have a time to talk if they have any comments or problems
with regards to their childrens school performance and if there
are any problems they can talk to me directly.
And the parents can also help me understand the attitude
and behavior of their children and by this I can have the idea on
how to handle their differences.

REFLECTION
Since I enter college and take the education course, I always wanted to
wear such kind of uniform that I saw from the higher years who were taking Field
Study. I said to myself 2 years from now I can also have it and I will be beautiful
when I wear it.
My experiences on FS 1 had helped me a lot as a finish my chosen
profession. Somehow, it changes some of my perspective in life. In this kind of
subject, I gained much knowledge about my profession.
I cannot forget our first day of observation, Im so excited to wear my FS
uniform although it is not beautiful as I expected but it is fulfilling, at last my
dream have come true, I feel like a real teacher. And when we got to Banisil
National High School, I smile when the students greet us good morning but the
thing that really made me smile is the fact that most of the students are taller and
bigger than me.
Whenever we do our observation, I am always in the flashback mode, I
can see myself in the past 4 years. The students behaviors were the same with
mine when I was at their age. I also encounter the difference of each learners. I
discovered that everyone of them is unique, have different needs and capacity in
doing things.
Episode 1- The

From my cooperating teacher, Maam Rivas, I learned many things from

her that I can surely use and aapply when someday I become a real teacher. She
gave us an idea on how to handle class especially the lower section. She also
showed us different teaching strategies that we can use someday.
FS 1 is a very big help to us student teacher, through it we are exposed
and able to know the real happenings in a classroom. Although we spend a lot of
time and money to accomplish it, yet it is one of my most exciting and fulfilling
experience.
