Your Analysis

1. Why is a classroom a miniature of a greater society?

A classroom is a miniature of greater society because in the classroom like a greater society has
different kind of students in terms of attitudes, opinions and interests. These individuals work together to
achieve a common goal which is necessary for their success. And these students are considered as part of the
community because of their own voice like their own opinion or point of view of a certain problem or issue. In
the classroom, students learned many things because of their teachers, classmates and environment. They
became responsible and independent to do things accordingly and to be aware on what to do in a real world
situation in order to fit in the community.

2. What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society?
In the classroom we can find different types of people so as in the society. The similarities that are
found in the classroom that can be observed in society are interactions of different kinds of people, styles and
wants. Every individual have the right to express themselves and being responsible on something they have
done.

Peace Concept on Focus: Cooperation

importance.

It is a responsibility of the teacher to know the curriculum because it serves as a basis on making an
objective for proper discussion and to be able to develop a curriculum design to meet the needs of the
learners for better understanding. And the teachers also will be the one who will implement the curriculum
that is why they must be aware about the given curriculum.

commonality expressed or spelled out in the curriculum of the class you have observed?

learning, listening and understanding.

Your Reflections

From your FS experience, keep in touch with your most meaningful learning and express it through
abstract visual representation. Please use appropriate colors to represent your feelings and significant
learning.

Being a teacher is not an easy task to do. You need to have more patience because you are handling
different character, behavior and character of the students. In teaching process, the teacher must think of
different ways, strategies or teaching style to motivate students to participate in order to promote effective
learning and for the students to acquire knowledge. And mostly, teachers must be aware of his/her action
because teachers are serve as a role model not only in the classroom but also in the community because
teachers live with dignity and dedication.
