YOUR TARGET
At the end of this activity, you will be able to identify the principles in
teaching-learning activities, manuals and others instructional materials used by the
teacher in selected subjects.
YOUR WAY
Learning how to apply the teaching principles in a classroom setting is
something you aspire for. Initially, you would need to observe and describe how it is
manifested in the real classroom.
To hit your TARGET, work your way through these steps:
Step 1: Observe at least three classes and describe the principles of teaching
and learning used by the teacher.
Step 2: Observe the cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational processes in
the classroom.
Step 3: List down the instructional materials used by the teacher to facilitate
learning.
Step 4: Reflect on your experience

YOUR TOOLS
As you visit a school and observe classes, use the activity forms to
document your observation and write your insights or reflection.

1. What principles in teaching-learning were commonly applied?

To develop mastery, students must acquire component skills, practice

integrating them, and know when to apply what they have learned.
2. What instructional materials were used in teaching?
The teacher often writes on the board. She also used printed instructional
materials for the students assignment, seatwork, or board work.
3. Which of the principles in teaching facilitate the
metacognitive and positive motivational processes of learning?

cognitive,

Effective teaching involves prioritizing the knowledge and skills we choose to

focus on. Too many topics work against student learning, so it is necessary for us to
make decisions sometimes difficult ones about what we will and will not include
in a course. This involves (a) recognizing the parameters of the course (e.g., class
size, students backgrounds and experiences, course position in the curriculum
sequence, number of course units), (b) setting our priorities for student learning,
and (c) determining a set of objectives that can be reasonably accomplished.

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your

observation experience.
At my first visitation, the head teacher assigned us to different teachers that
we will be observing. They warmly entertained us, so I thought that we really need
to be as nice as them soon that were already working. I realized that its really hard
to be a teacher. Not only by mastering the content but by classroom management. I

know that high school students are really wild. Theyre hard to manage as one and
sometimes they disrespect the teacher by means of disobeying. I saw how the
teacher disciplined them and we really need a very long patience. But there is one
thing that I like in them and that is friendliness. They are motivated when someone
is praising them because of their good work.
