PST - MLS Activity (Week 1) BSMT 2D – Group 1

1. Five roles a TEACHER can assume inside the classroom.

a. The controller - The teacher inspires the students through his/her ability, knowledge, and

expertise. The teacher also acts as a role model to the learners on guiding them to be the best

person they can be.

b. The prompter - The prompter encourages students to participate and makes suggestions about

how students should proceed in an activity. When students start to have problems with what they

do, the prompter decides either to let the student decide on what to do or to aid the student by

encouraging or suggesting.

c. The resource - The educator is a sort of strolling asset focused and prepared to offer assistance

if necessary, or give students whatever language they need when performing open exercises. The

instructor must be accessible and can control students to utilize and give accessible data and

information.

d. The assessor - The educator assumes this role in order to know how well the learners are

performing and what teaching processes are effective. The teacher may give feedback and

corrections for effective learning of students.

e. The organizer - Human mind is capable of thinking and imagining different kinds of ideas. The

vagueness of the ideas may lead to a total chaos, but as a teacher, it is his duty to organize the

ideas brought by his students.

2. Five Professional attributes and five personal attributes of a teacher.

Five professional attributes

a. Strong work ethic - Forming good habits such as being punctual, productive, among others, can

aid in developing a strong work ethic. With this, the teacher is motivated and prepared to be

professional in the work environment.

b. Flexibility - Flexibility is the capacity to respond and adjust to changing circumstances and

expectations in order to deal with unexpected problems or tasks effectively. This capacity

emphasizes the teacher’s willingness to adapt to change particularly regarding when, where, and

how the students will learn.

c. Communication skills - Communication plays a pivotal role in a student’s learning process.

Teachers must be able to present complex ideas in a simple and clear way so students do not just

passively take in information but, instead, are motivated to learn.

d. Discipline skills - This attribute includes the teachers’ ability to place persistent efforts,

attentiveness, goal and action-oriented attitude, in their work ethic. This will then lead to students

having to comply.

e. Respectful attitude - Respect is the foundation of any relationship. If the student has no respect

for the teacher, there will be no attempt at learning. If the teacher has no respect for the student, it

is likely that the teacher would not put any effort into the student’s education.

Five personal attributes

a. Engaging - Research has demonstrated that engaging students in the learning process increases

their attention and focus, motivates them to practice higher-level critical thinking skills, and

promotes meaningful learning experiences.

b. Approachable - Approachability is a stepping stone to student engagement. By being more

approachable, the teacher encourages students to ask questions which open lines of

communication.

c. Patient - The teacher must be able to stay calm and suppress their temper when dealing with

student problems over and over again even if it takes several times. Teachers should never give

up on their students and must help them come through challenges.

d. Empathetic - Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. By

being more empathetic, the teacher may understand fully what his students need and how he will

cater to that need.

e. Passion and enthusiasm - Passion and enthusiasm draw students into learning. It excites their

minds, creates curiosity and inspires them to raise their energy levels in class.
