My Analysis
Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile will help you
to answer the questions here.

1. From the school visit and interview, what do you think is the style of the parenting
experienced by the learner? Explain your answer.

I think the style of parenting that being implemented to the learners is fair and not so
very good. Since there are little good performers in the class, I think their parents never
guide them well for their educational needs.

2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family
factors do you think contribute of the development and over-all adjustment of the
learner in school?

If the parents supports their children on their educational needs, for sure the children will
perform well better than others. It can motivate a child to be a good performer at school
because they knew within their selves that they his parents is always at his back in danger
or in victory.

3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on the learner? If
yes, what are these affects?

Yes. Because education begins at home. Parents were always the best teacher of their
children. It is good that parents should be responsible and vigilant enough to guide
their children into a better education.
My Reflections
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you
experienced? How did it affect you?

When I was a child and until now, I am not guided by my parents in my assignments, projects
and other school activities. This molded me to work independently without their help. My
parents were always busy with their work and this nurtured me to just support my own self.

2. As a future teacher, how would you establish goof home-school collaboration? How
can you work well with the parents? How can you help them?

Parent has an important role in their child’s learning development. If I will become a teacher
someday, I will choose to call up the attention of every parents and have a seminar in
regards to their children’s needs: psychologically and emotionally.
My Portfolio
1. Make an artistic, colorful and creative visual expression of your insights or feelings
