Field Study 6 “On Becoming A Teacher” is one of the Experiential Learning Courses of
the prospective teacher. It tells the journey of how to become a teacher as exemplified in the
Teacher Education and Development Map in the pre-service education. Like any point in the
map, pre-service education is connected to the core which is the National Competency-Based
Teacher Standards (NCBTS).
One of the professional education subjects for Teacher Education as mandated by CMO
30, s. 2004 is The Teaching Profession. It is on this subject, that Field Study 6 is anchored.
Thus, all the experiential activities for this Field Study are related to the in-depth understanding,
testing of learned theories and concepts through immersion and observation in real life situations
that relate to the teaching profession for personal reflection, formation of concepts and future
application.
Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle, shown below guides the flow of the processes that
every student should undergo. The model presents the four elements which are: concrete
experiences, observation and reflection, formation of abstract concepts and testing in new
situations.
2. Observation and reflection follow concrete experiences. For situations and episodes
which cannot be concretely experienced, one can make direct observations. The observations
become environmental experiences and first hand encounters through the use of different senses.
Reflections on both concrete experiences and observations should always follow. This would
clarify understanding, deepen values and appreciation.
4. Testing in new situation. This stage may not happen during the current Field Study
subject, but in latter course like Practicum or Student Teaching where transfer of learning will
find its place very clearly.
As we continue our journey to become a professional teacher, let us remember the stages
or elements we have to go through: CONCRETE EXPERIENCE, OBSERVATION,
REFLECTION, FORMING/ AFFIRMING CONCEPTS and in the further TESTING IN A NEW
SITUATION.

Am I This Person?
Bilbao, 2010
Below are indicators of personal qualities which may describe you. Place a check mark
on the blank before each item if the indicator fits you most of the time or an X mark if the
description does not fits you most of the time.
MY OBSERVATIONS
Your concrete experience, enabled you to describe, what you are as a person. The
qualities reflect who you are. Make a similar observation on 10 active teachers in a school. Your
observations will be doe through a survey and will produce empirical evidences. This
observation method will enhance your skills to collect data, like when you are doing a research.
You will be provided with a Survey Checklist for you to reproduce 10 copies for your 10
respondent teachers. Make proper request from these teachers who will become your
respondents.
Tabulate the results in the matrix found below
Procedure:
1. To get the average, add the scores of the 10 teachers and divide by 10.
2. Look at the legend on your checklist, and determine the description of the average.
3. Study the results.
Questions:
1. Which of the 12 attributes is the highest among the teachers?
MY REFLECTIONS
After studying the results of your teacher survey, write down your reflections on the
following situations to have happened in the school setting.
1. Why are some teachers reported to have bumped a learner’s head on the wall or made a
child swallow a scratch paper or pencil filings? What attribute do you think is low for
this teacher?
The use physical punishment is kinda humiliating the student lower levels of teacher’s
emotional stability are more high-tempered associated with an increased risk of reacting
violent, As educators, they need to be calm no matter what happen just take a deep
breathe and think twice to avoid emotionally upset.
2. Why do you think some teachers are better loved by students than others?
According to Daniel Tanguay “A good teacher will perform for their students to keep them
going... It’s not about sitting back and just lecturing, it’s about engaging in the work.
As far as I know some teachers are better loved by students because of their friendliness
building relationships with students which promotes a positive learning environment,helps
to build our classroom community, and is probably one of the best investments we can make
with our students are to spend time with a student, develop an interest in their interests, and
promotes fair treatment despites of their personality diffirences which creates a harmonious
classroom management.
3. If you were to choose, which personal attributes should all teachers possess? Why?
Compassion, intelligence, resourcefulness, and self- motivation are the attributes that teacher
must possess because they need to work constantly evolving environment and maintain their
personal appearance for their profession.
MY AFFIRMED CONCEPTS
After reflecting on this episode and recalling my previous subjects, I have realized that
there are several concepts in the teaching profession about personal attributes I learned that has
been affirmed and confirmed, examples of which are given below:
