OBSERVATION REPORT
There were 30 students in the class. They seemed at ease socializing with students and
classmates who are the same age and gender, based on what I can see of them. They talk
on topics pertaining to their individual hobbies. Since everyone is different from one another,
it is obvious that the classroom is truly diverse. They tended to group themselves according
to gender. Boys and girls categorize themselves separately.
During Class:
1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how the students
interact. with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups that interact
more with the teacher than others?
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do
they behave and interact differently?
Learners seated at the front of the room tend to be more engaged and
interactive with the teacher and their peers. They are closer to the board, can
hear the teacher more clearly, and can more easily see any visuals or
demonstrations. This proximity to the teacher can also make them feel more
comfortable asking questions and seeking help when needed.
On the other hand, learners seated at the back of the room may be more likely
to be distracted or disengaged. They are further away from the teacher and
may have more difficulty seeing or hearing what is going on in the classroom.
As a result, they may be more likely to engage in off-task behaviors or become
disengaged from the lesson.
That being said, it's important to note that these differences are not universal.
Learners can exhibit a wide range of behaviors and interactions regardless of
where they are seated in the classroom. Additionally, a skilled teacher can use
a variety of teaching strategies to engage all learners in the classroom,
regardless of their seating position.
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with
or compete against each other?
I observed that the relationship among learners in a classroom can vary based
on a number of factors such as the classroom culture, the subject matter, and
the teaching approach. In general, there can be a mix of cooperation and
competition among learners.
4. Who among the students participates actively? Who among them asks for the
most help?
The level of participation and need for help among students varies depending
on various factors. Students who participate actively are more confident in
their knowledge and skills and are motivated to learn. Those who ask for the
most help are often struggling with the subject matter and require additional
support. These factors can change over time and can be influenced by various
factors. A skilled teacher can use strategies to encourage all students to
participate and seek help regardless of their confidence or skill level.
5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher's question, do the
classmates try to help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher
will call them instead?
Outside Class:
The way that students group themselves outside of class can vary based on
shared characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, or interests. Students
may form homogenous groups or mixed social groupings based on
personality traits or social status. It is important for teachers and school staff
to be aware of these dynamics and to be sensitive to the various ways in
which students form relationships and interact with each other.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe
their behavior.
Students who are alone or not interacting may exhibit behaviors such as
looking down or avoiding eye contact, appearing disengaged or uninterested,
or exhibiting signs of anxiety or discomfort. Teachers should be aware of
these students and provide support to help them become more involved and
connected with their peers, such as creating opportunities for group work and
encouraging peer collaboration.
Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse
students due to the following factors:
● Gender
To address the needs of diverse students based on gender, teachers should avoid
making assumptions and treat all students equally. They should use a variety of
teaching strategies that appeal to different learning styles and interests. Teachers
should also promote an inclusive classroom culture that values diversity and
addresses issues related to gender equity. Teachers can foster positive role models,
challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes, and intervene when students
exhibit discriminatory behavior.
● Differences in religion
● Socio-economic status
