this be managed?
As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher experienced. The class was well
managed and the teacher did not find it hard to convince her students to participate in the
discussion and activity. There was an interaction between the students and the teacher, and the
teacher makes sure that her students stay on task as observed.

Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly
and what would you do differently if you will teach the same lesson to
the same group of students? Why?
If I will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will also provide activities in
order for students to have an opportunity to practice and apply their learning after learning a
particular knowledge, skills and attitudes. I will also use the same teaching approach which is
the inquiry approach.
If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept of computer literacy for
students has been redefined (creating web pages, digitizing multimedia and the use of social
networking sites) thus I have to be aware of this trends, as my own teaching effectiveness will
depend on my understanding of these recent technological trends. With this reason, I will create
a game through the use of projector in a way that has relation to the tropic. I will also present a
power point presentation that contains my topic for that day. Through this, the students will be
attentive and participative in the lesson and it brings convenience to my part. If the resources
are not available, I will use the chalkboard and I will provide them an interactive activity by
dividing them into groups to be followed by a short discussion, this is to facilitate the visual,
auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners. After I implement the instruction, I will evaluate
students by providing an assessment method that is suited to the needs and interest of the
students in order for me to measure the retention of students if they have achieved mastery, and
to know if Im going to proceed or revise the instruction.

An Observation/Survey Guide
Name of the School Observed: Sagay National High School
Date of Visit: August 16, 2012
Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my chosen topic which
was the parts and functions of microscope. As I parts and functions of microscope as my topic I
also choose several learning resources such as chalkboard, books, power point presentation,
mock ups, realia, photocopies, pictures and visual aids. I choose those several learning
resources because for my topic because I believe that it can help me achieve my lesson
objectives and to maximize learning inside the classroom. Since my topic is about parts and
functions of microscope, so I can say that available materials are appropriate for my target year
level which is the second year.
Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make flash cards, cut out letters,
and as much as possible learning resources that are made from indigenous or recyclable
materials.
I Use graphic organizer to present the learning resources relevant to the topic chosen. On the
line inside the box, I indicate if the resource is already AVAILABLE MAY BE PURCHASED OR
WILL BE MADE
Topic: Parts and Functions of Microscope
Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your
own materials your own materials? Explain each

what to make and how to make it. There may be unique learning materials
that could be beneficial to the lessons that I will be teaching, and by looking at
the other materials can have additional information on what to do. Through
survey I can gain competence in preparing instructional materials that are
appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives and learning styles of
my students.

Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?
I like making power point presentations because its easy for me to put different graphic designs,
effects and transitions. I can also insert pictures, video clips and even sounds. My purpose of
selecting power point presentation among other instructional materials is to make a clear
representation and while presenting a topic, it is necessary for me to monitor and facilitate to
make sure that students stay on task. I believe that making power point presentations aids in
enhancing creativity.
2.
I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the power point program has a
guide on how to use it. Making a presentation using power point program is just an easy task for
me. The only thing which I consider a problem for me is on how Im going to deliver the content
in my presentation.
3.
The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her students. She/he must see
to it that his/her materials will fit to the learning styles of the students and must be applicable for
his/her subject matter for the materials to be effective. The chosen materials must be
appropriate and can contribute to the achievement of learning objectives. In todays generation,
it is important for a teacher to meet the changing needs and interest of students, thus several
factors must consider such as practicality, availability, cost effectiveness and appropriateness
that is based on students characteristics or learning styles and lesson objectives. The teacher
may also do surveys to the available materials or can search through the internet.

Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise and comprehensive.
The key concepts were emphasized because they are in bold type. I also use bullets, concept
map. I contained all the important points of the presentation and I sequenced the details
properly to avoid misconceptions.
The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of chemical reactions.

Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My penmanship was not good
enough to make my handout very attractive to the eyes of the readers, yet there is a chance to
enhance its legibility by using one of the applications of a computer specifically the Microsoft
word office.
I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not necessary to use subtitles
for that subject matter.
Reflection
1.
To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable source or references and
assistance from a computer. The only thing that took time and needed brain storming is the
conceptualization of the flow of the handout and the concept map that I included. So first I did
was to make an outline of the content of my handout then I read several references and
searching through the internet just to form my concept map.
I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions. So what I did was to read
and understand the details in every chemical reaction so that I can give correct examples.
2.
The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making the handout. Then
he/she must conceptualize the flow and the content of the handout by making an outline. The
teacher must also read several references so that the handout will be an informative tool for the
students learning.
In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in order for the students to
read it easily and the keywords must be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. Bullet point
format and concept map must be use to summarize the content. The teacher must put all the
important points in the handout and he/she must not include too much information to avoid
cluttering. The teacher must know how to sequence the content in order to avoid confusions

of the lesson, but not too many. It must have also one design or theme for whole slides to avoid
confusion or any misconception. The slides must not too long, nor too short to avoid cluttering in
the slides. A pictures speaks thousands words, hence photos must be included in the slides to
let students know what I am talking about. The contents of the slides are important points of the
lesson and must not include the whole words that I have to say for the whole discussion.

The features that are present in my slide presentation that I have made are the
transitions, effects, only one theme or design for the whole slide and also pictures that help
students visualize their thoughts or ideas.
My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I give emphasis on the
contents because they are the important points of my lesson.

All those good features of a slide presentation that I have cited are present in my
slide presentation. I did not mention the sound effects and music, for me it is not essential to
use all the time because it brings distraction to my discussion. There are times that music and
sound effects are highly needed especially in presenting a video presentation

Brief
Description Of
The Material In
The Website
Weaknesses
It will be only weak if there is
the students.
Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students, I must ensure first that those
topic and activities are consistent in my learning objectives. I must also give proper instruction to
the students before they search such websites by explaining to them the learning goals to be
achieved before searching any websites so that the students will stay focused during the activity.
When students get confused, I must provide guidance and directions, guide questions and
activities or scenarios. It is also important to have a follow up discussions to make some
generalizations for that topic.
Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective. Upon surfing on the
internet, I saw many websites that have programs to make learning fun and effective. Some of
the websites have games and other has tutorial programs but aside from those benefits, internet
access may also be dangerous to the learners. From the websites I visited, some of the learning
is incorporated with violence games and pornographic photos and videos which are not good
influence to the students. Using internet as an information tool is good and effective but proper
supervision of the teacher is highly needed and before giving the topic or any activity to be
searched, I must check first the websites and choose those that are safe for the students.
Over All Reflection
As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in my mind that learners are
rich in learning capabilities. The process of learning are highly unique and individual, this means
that in a classroom there are individual differences that I must consider. I need to assist my
future students to define and to make explicit to themselves the approaches they ordinarily use
so that they can become more effective in problem solving and learning. I learned that one of
the riches resources for learning is the learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation of
experiences, ideas, feelings and attitude which comprise a rich vein of material for problem
solving and learning. I consider learners as the richest resources for learning because they have
their own aptitude which are their innate talent or gift , interest which express deep feelings for
objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and enjoyable, they also have their own ability
which pictates the prospect of success in any purposeful activity, attitude which is the learners
perspective and disposition and last their family or cultural background which is their socioeconomic background.
I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance
of ideas. As a future teacher, I will only facilitate my learners and they are the one who will give
the meaning of a concept. Just like for example, my topic is all about the leaf of a plant. I will let
them have field trip outside the classroom to observe the leaf of a plant. I will guide them and I
will demonstrate first and give some information about the leaf and its parts after that, they will
give their own meaning or understanding about the leaf and its parts. Learning is gradual its
because it is by stages or levels so as a future teacher someday I must extend my patience.
To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my work and to my
students, I must have also humor in a way that has connection to the topic, also values and
attitude, fairness, sincerity and honesty, and professionalism.
