 My Reflections/Insights
“To learn and not to
think over what you
have learned is perfectly
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why?
useless. To think
Why not?
without having learned
is dangerous.”

- Gore Vidal

2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?

5. Write your addtitional learnings and insight here.

 Learner’s Development Matrix

Record the data you gathered about the learner’s characteristics and needs in this matrix. This will
allow you to compare the characteristics and needs of learners at different levels. The items under each
domain are by no means exhaustive. These are just sample indicators. You may add other aspects which you
may have observed.

 An Observation Guide for the CLASSROOM VISIT
Be guided by these questions as you do your observation of the classroom management. It is also
good to ask the teacher for additional information, so you can verify your observation. Write your
notes below; and them 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.

2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down.

3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If yes, and the resource teacher is
available, ask him/her to describe the process.

4. What are the daily routines done by the teacher? (prayer, attendance, assignment of monitors,
warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?

5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement?

6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this managed?

 7. If a learner is not following instructions or is off-task, what does the teacher do? Do behavior
strategies used?

8. What does the teacher do to reinforce positive behavior? (behavior strategies)

1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners beahavior?

2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classroom organization and routine?
What theories and principles should you have in mind?

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the learners? In motivating
students? Why were they effective?
 My Map
The learners’ individual differences and the types of intended Learning Outcomes that bring surely
affect the quality of teaching and learning. This is all about observing and gathering data to find out how
students affects learning.
To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my ways through these steps:

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.

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.
