Student-to-Student Interaction Patterns

This interaction between the student- to-student will address their communication skills.
Like for instance, in this photo you can see that they are brainstorming to come up with
the best answer for the activity. They interact with their seatmates’ boys and girls by
having different topics. But when the class starts, they can participate to the class. They
are aggressive in answering the question of their teacher.

learners have different attitude and
personalities just like our society. They worked
together for achievement of a certain goals
which are necessary for their living and
survival. Learners will learn a lot of things from
their teacher, classmates as well experience.

There are a lot of factors to consider. It’s the

people who are interacting to each other.
What we have seen with people inside the
classroom is a type of people we can see in
our society. Another factor is the teacher

Inside the Classroom

Instructions: Select and narrate briefly the best topic discussion done by the teacher while you were
doing your observation. (If possible attached some pictures to support your observation)

Narration of
the classroom
discussion

I have observed that during the lesson, the learners are focused and attentive while
their teacher is explaining the on how to solve the problem given. The lesson is about
logic and probability theory, wherein two events are mutually exclusive or disjoint if
they cannot occur at the same time. In order for the learners to fully understand the
lesson, he gave an example. What he did was he draws a figure explaining how to
locate the learners for the outcome. Learners are participating; they asked questions
if there are possibilities to come up another answer. The teacher responded to their
questions and explained further in order to understand by the students. Mr Cano
asked also the students if they have other questions or clarification to the topic he
discussed. One student raised his hands and asked a clarification. And then, Mr
Cano give other example and picked one learner and ask him to show his answer in
the board. Lucky for him, she got the correct answer. And then, Mr Cano, explain to
them on how the student come up with the correct answer.
 State your

assessment and
reflections

It is important for the teacher to look for a teaching strategy wherein you can catch
the attention of the learners in order for them to be interested in the topic and inspire
them to participate with the activities that will be given to them in order for the teacher
to identify whether her learners understood the lesson.

Curriculum Implementation

Instructions: Describe briefly your observations on the following: (If possible attached some pictures
to support your observation)
One thing that comes into my mind when I entered the classroom is that the teacher practices a
minimalist type of environment. It is very spacious that the learners can move freely. Inside the
classroom also has two (6) ceiling fan and a twelve (12) windows ensuring a well-ventilated
environment for learners. Mr Cano also considers the importance and value of the scientist which
is the name of the class section. It is hang on the wall and ceiling in order for learners to read and
inspired. Chairs are well-arranged. They have water dispenser where the students are free to drink
water. They have 3 garbage can with three different segregation. Teacher’s table is at the back
side for teacher’s belongings safe keeping. Aside from the teacher’s table at the back, they also a
table in the front that can be used by teacher during discussion. All in all, for me it is a positive
place where a learner can come to work toward specific goals. And the teacher is very positive,
outgoing, confident and compassionate towards her learners. Perfect for the students the
opportunity to learn and to know fellow learners.
The school facilities has a big impact on both
teachers and learners outcome. With respect to
the learners, school facilities affect the health,
behavior, engagement, learning, and growth in
achievement. It is also very difficult to serve big
numbers of learners with complex needs. In terms
of functionality of all school facilities shown above,
for school library, inadequate supply of books to
be used in research was observed. Computer
units are functional. Equipment and educational
apparatus are also present. A very helpful facility
in today’s generation especially because
generations of today deals with high technology.
They also have wash area. They also have
canteen that offers healthy nutritious food for
everyone. They also have covered court for school
activities and important events.
Arrangement
of the Subject
Matter

As what I observed, the subject matters were

properly explained and discussed by the teacher.
Teacher Jenny gone enough examples in each
problem in their discussion. They were also giving
time to their students to ask questions or any
clarification about the subject matter. And to have a
cleared understanding about the subject matter,
students were given tasks or activities by their
teachers.

 EPISODE FIVE

Curriculum design
Instructions: Describe briefly the curriculum type (Subject Centered, Experience/ Learner and
Society/Culture Based) observed in the class. Write a brief explanation to support your
observation(s).

Subject-centered curriculum design revolves around a particular subject matter or

discipline. For example, a subject-centered curriculum may focus on math or biology.
This type of curriculum design tends to focus on the subject rather than the individual.
In relation to my observation, this curriculum was being practiced especially when
doing problem solving or in using group work activity wherein learners cooperate one
another to have a best possible answer.

In this curriculum, centered on certain aspects of the learners themselves and may
explore the learner’s own life or family history or local environment. Like the classroom
that I am assigned right now, learners are practiced to share their ideas on their
personal experiences related to the lesson. It is one way of catching their attention to
listen to the lesson because they can relate with the topic that was being discussed.

Culture refers to shared ways of being, knowing, and doing. Culture-based education is
the grounding of instruction and student learning in these ways, including the values,
norms, knowledge, beliefs, practices, experiences, and language that are the
foundation of culture. This curriculum emphasizes on the Cultural Heritage of our
country as well as be able to recognize the Cultural Identity of every Filipino. That is
why for this new curriculum they included the Mother Tongue wherein learners can put
into practice the language that he / she has grown up speaking from early childhood.
Inside the classroom that I have observed mostly the teacher is speaking in bisaya in
order for her learners to fully understand the lesson.
