THE TEACHER WE
1 REMEMBER
Analyze:
1. From the PPSTs the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx
videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
Answer: Following my viewing of the two movies, I've come up with a list of eight
characteristics of an excellent teacher. Interpersonal and communication skills, planning, and
organizing. Classroom management, engagement and facilitation, coaching and evaluation,
cooperation and teamwork, inclusivity and compassion, flexibility, and adaptability are the
qualities that make a great teacher.
Answer: Teachers must possess personal attributes such as patience because they will face
challenges in their line of work. Regardless of the grade level you teach, being a teacher will
test your patience. Patience is one of the most important skills that educators may have. This
characteristic is useful for managing rowdy pupils, working with coworkers who have diverse
viewpoints, and keeping parents informed about their children's whereabouts. Generally
speaking, you have to be more patient with parents than you are with students.
Reflect:
2
Which personal traits do I possess? Not Possess? Where do I need Improvement in?
• Effective teaching requires good communication abilities, which is one of my personal
qualities. This is largely what I'm utilizing for observation. There is still a limit, despite
my best efforts to make my kids feel at ease around me. I just allow them to freely share
their thoughts and feelings so that we may have an interesting class conversation.
3. PLAN I would like to address this problem (mentioned in #2) by conducting an action

b)The school heads
WORK ON MY ARTEFACTS
Professional and personal attributes were imparted to me.I discovered that utilizing professional
competencies in the classroom fosters a more supportive learning environment for students and
expands their knowledge base, giving them confidence in the knowledge they acquire from the
instructor. Another thing I discovered is that in order to offer or treat your kids appropriately for
their issues, you, as a professional teacher, must identify and attend to all of their needs. I also
discovered that, as aspiring teachers, one of the most crucial parts of our job is always putting the
needs of our children first. It also helps me understand how these two attributes benefit you.
I came to understand that in order to reach the standards of a great teacher, you need to exhibit
specific competencies. It dawned on me as well that possessing these two attributes will make
me a more effective teacher going forward. Additionally, since we will soon be practicing
teaching, it would be excellent if I had these two attributes. They would be very helpful to me. It
will be very helpful to me to develop these abilities, or attributes, through the course I'm now
doing. I'm prepared to put in a lot of effort to strengthen these skills through the course I'm
presently enrolled in, even though I know it won't be simple.
And i will make every effort to develop each competency because, in my opinion, they are all
still in need of improvement and because I want to be a better teacher for my pupils if I can
succeed in each competency. At this point in my prospective career, halfway through, I also want
to possess these attributes. Perhaps not now, but I aspire to possess those attributes soon. To
acquire such attributes, one need just be eager and accepting. I'm willing to try it even if it might
be challenging and see how it goes.

Write Action Research Prompts
OBSERVE
From what teaching principles of theories can this problem be anchored?
I have observed and noticed that Action Research begins with a problem or a problematic
situation.
Answer: The problematic situation that i observed is the lack of respect of the students on
their teacher.
Write an example of a problematic situation that you have observed and noticed.
Answer:
Based on my observations, some students in Sir Janis Palaganas' class do not show proper
respect towards their teacher during discussions, and some of them fail to follow the
instructions given by Sir Janis. Another issue with the students is not having their name tags
on in the classroom, where wearing them is necessary for identification purposes.
REFLECT
What have I realized? What do I hope to achieve?
Answer:What have I realized?
I have realized that a lack of respect from students towards their teacher not only disrupts the
learning environment but also affects the teacher's ability to effectively manage the class and
deliver lessons. It can lead to a negative classroom atmosphere where both learning and
teacher-student relationships are compromised. This issue requires addressing the root causes,
such as communication gaps, behavioral influences, or unclear expectations, to restore mutual
respect.
Answer:
In order to deal with the lack of respect students are showing towards Sir Janis, he can begin
by establishing explicit guidelines for respectful conduct in the classroom. Conducting a
group discussion in class will enable students to share their emotions and learn about the
significance of respect. Sir Janis needs to demonstrate respectful behavior by being kind to
students and paying attention to their concerns. Furthermore, she has the ability to incentivize
students who exhibit respect, establishing positive reinforcement. Ultimately, implementing
appropriate repercussions for rude behavior will assist students in comprehending the gravity
of their actions. Through the utilization of these tactics, Sir Janis can cultivate a classroom
atmosphere that is both respectful and positive.
10
PLAN
What strategic activities, innovations can I employ to improve the situation or solve the
problem?
Answer: Several strategic activities can be put into place to enhance the lack of respect that
students show towards their teacher. Initially, conduct frequent classroom gatherings to talk
about emotions and worries, promoting open dialogue. Developing a "Respect Agreement"
with students can help establish anticipated behaviors. Role-playing activities are effective in
aiding students to comprehend the consequences of their choices. Furthermore, the
introduction of social-emotional learning programs can also educate individuals on empathy
and conflict resolution.

What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how will
these be utilize in your practice?
This Action Research involves actively exploring an issue to improve practices, solve problems,
or enhance understanding through a participatory and reflective process. It involves a cyclical
process of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Knowledge is created through active
participation in an ongoing process, leading to constant enhancements.
Reflect:
Engaging in Action Research is very advantageous for aspiring teachers. It promotes the
professional development of teachers and improves the educational experiences of both
teachers and students. Through participating in a systematic reflection process, educators can
gain fresh insights and techniques that have a noticeable influence on their teaching methods
and the overall educational outcomes of students. Furthermore, engaging in Action Research
is not just valuable for prospective educators; it is a crucial aspect of career growth. It boosts
critical thinking, encourages teamwork, and tackles genuine educational problems, all while
creating insights that can help both teachers and the broader education community.
Why?
By engaging in reflective practice, educators can develop insights into their instructional
approaches and make adjustments to improve student outcomes. Participating in Action
Research allows future educators to evaluate their performance in real time. How can AR be
useful for every classroom teacher?
Action Research (AR) is highly beneficial for each classroom instructor as it serves as a versatile
educational aid that can greatly help teachers by improving student involvement, promoting
teamwork, and catering to various learning requirements. Using it in the classroom brings new
possibilities for creative teaching methods and enhanced learning experiences.

What five problems have you identifies from the words that you have encircled? Make a
statement. Write in the space below.
2. Financial: Some students struggle with their studies because of financial difficulties.
4. Wi-Fi: Poor Wi-Fi connection can disrupt online learning and make it difficult to
complete assignments.
5. Bullying: Bullying affects students' emotional well-being and can impact their
academic performance.
How can you assist your mentor, after knowing that the learners have difficulty in
comprehension? In order to help my mentor address students' difficulties in understanding
the material, I would start by providing additional resources and assistance to those who have
missed class due to absences, making sure they catch up on any missed lessons. I will seek
out no-cost or low-cost educational materials to help individuals dealing with financial
challenges. In order to tackle common understanding difficulties, I would collaborate with
my mentor to simplify complicated ideas by utilizing visual aids and interactive techniques.
For students who have limited Wi-Fi access, I recommend offering offline options like
printed materials or downloadable resources. Finally, I would assist in cultivating a
supportive atmosphere by advocating for anti-bullying tactics, promoting kindness, and
promptly addressing bullying concerns to protect students' emotional health and enhance their
academic concentration.

What have you noticed of the problem identified above? Can be there be more than one
solution to the problem?
Explain: I have observed that issues such as skipping classes, poor understanding, internet
connectivity problems, harassment, and money troubles can create challenges for students in
their learning journey. These issues frequently impact one another, such as how absenteeism
from school can result in difficulty grasping academic material, or financial hardships can restrict
the ability to connect to Wi-Fi for virtual education. Bullying can also damage a student's self-
esteem and concentration. Indeed, it is possible to have multiple solutions for these issues. For
instance, schools can provide make-up lessons or online alternatives in order to decrease
absenteeism. Teachers can provide easier explanations or additional practice to aid in
understanding. For problems with Wi-Fi, we can offer offline resources and tackle bullying
through anti-bullying initiatives and assistance. Assistance with finances may be provided
through scholarships or complimentary school materials. Various methods can assist in
addressing these challenges more effectively.
Analyze
Let us try to look into following scenarios in the daily life of a teacher. This scenario
might also be similar to the class you have observed and noticed.
Scenario A: Miss Fely is employed as a fourth grade teacher in a standard elementary school.
Her classroom has a total of forty students. Half of them cannot differentiate between vertebrate
and invertebrate animals. She has been reviewing the same science lesson for two weeks, yet no
progress has been observed. Miss Fely has been bothered by this circumstance.
Can you identify, Miss Fely’s problem? Miss Fely is facing an issue where even after
spending two weeks teaching the same science lesson about categorizing animals as either
vertebrates or invertebrates, half of her class still does not understand the concept. This
shows that her current teaching strategy is not working for those students, and she is having
difficulty in discovering a method that helps all of her students in their learning journey..
Can you find a solution to solve her problem? Give your two suggestions.
Here are two simple solutions for Miss Fely's problem:
Are they matched with the problem? Indeed, this solution specifically targets the issue of
students failing to grasp the lesson even after it has been repeated. Miss Fely can
25
accommodate various learning styles and involve students who struggle with traditional
teaching methods by implementing a more interactive approach.
Scenario B:
Sir Ryan instructs students in a low-income city area. The majority of his students arrive.from
families that are in disarray, whether due to having only one parent or guardians stepping in as
parental figures. They lack the essential requirements of food, clothing, and shelter.
Can you identify the most probable teaching-learning problem/s in the class of Sir Ryan?
Potential problems in Sir Ryan's class may involve insufficient attention and participation, low
academic achievement, along with students struggling with motivation and experiencing
behavioral and emotional challenges..
Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problems that you have identified?
Here are three simple solutions to address Lack of Focus and Engagement in Sir Ryan's
class:
After reading the two scenarios given above, how would identifying problematic
situations and finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better teacher?
Answer Recognizing challenging circumstances, like those faced by Miss Fely and Sir Ryan,
is essential for teacher development since it allows educators to effectively meet the varied
needs of their students. Miss Fely's struggle with half of her students failing to grasp animal
classification underscores the necessity of adjusting teaching techniques to accommodate
various learning preferences. At the same time, Sir Ryan's interactions with students from
challenging family backgrounds emphasize the importance of recognizing socio-economic
obstacles that influence education. Teachers can cultivate inclusive settings that enhance
student involvement and enthusiasm by identifying and tackling these challenges with
specific strategies. In the end, adopting this proactive strategy improves student academic
success and boosts their emotional and social health, leading to educators who are more
skilled and understanding.

Learning Environment 1:
What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message or theme
does it convey?
Its appeal is high; the colors and design match the wall color perfectly.I can assert that the
bulletin board fulfills its role as it effectively communicates its intention, which is to keep
students informed about the full list of students, cleaners, classroom officers, and much more.
30
What makes it attractive to the learners?
I believe the design and its color
Learning Environment 2:
If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules, where
is most likely the learning space of the students?
Google Meet is most likely the learning space of the students
How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for learning?
I think I can help the students to make such environment conducive for learning by
using virtual software applications, expanding their options and giving them
opportunity to learn either online class or face-to face. We are now in era where we
also consider the relevance of digital.
Analyze
The examples above describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the learners are
in the same room or space while in the second, the learners maybe in different learning spaces
like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases parks or under the trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for learning?
Choose between Learning Environment 1 or Environment 2. When I became a teacher, I
would be ready too verse learning. Why?
I believe my choice will be the learning Environment 1, which is the classroom setup, because I
now recognize the challenges faced by both students and teachers in teaching concepts that
require visual and experiential learning, similar to laboratory subjects and OJTs. It simplifies
things for both students and teachers since they can easily watch one another, making studying
less challenging.
Reflect
a) The situation and the topics above are very now and it's relevant to know.
b) It affects not just the students but also the teachers.
c) We can expand the learning options of the students.

In not less than 300 words, write an essay in the topic: “My Supportive Learning
Atmosphere”
To begin with, the physical arrangement of my study space significantly influences my ability to
concentrate and absorb information effectively. The perfect study area for me is an interruption-
free zone and preferably a quiet section of my home. This space features a spacious workstation,
a cozy chair, and sufficient lighting to foster a soothing atmosphere that promotes focus. I take
the time to organize my materials so that my digital gadgets, notebooks, and textbooks are all
readily accessible and properly cared for. By maintaining a tidy environment, I can minimize
distractions and keep my mind alert, thereby boosting productivity.
When establishing a positive learning setting, the emotional climate holds equal significance to
the physical space. I recognize that my mindset significantly influences my learning results. I
incorporate mindfulness activities such as deep breathing and brief meditation practices into my
daily schedule to foster a positive emotional environment. I discover that these methods assist
me in maintaining concentration and minimizing stress during my study sessions. Furthermore, I
acknowledge small achievements and set achievable academic objectives to foster a feeling of
success that maintains my motivation. I can gain insights from failures by maintaining a growth
mindset, which enhances my determination and toughness. Ultimately, the social interactions
within my educational setting are invaluable. Engaging with mentors and classmates fosters
collaborative learning and offers a variety of perspectives on various topics. Group study
sessions and discussions allow me to share ideas, alleviate worries, and enhance my
understanding of complex topics. I actively pursue feedback from my teachers and peers, which
promotes a sense of unity and encouragement among us while also boosting my understanding.

PORTFOLIO ENTRY
Describe the physical environment: The school's physical setting encompasses all the
concrete elements of the campus that enhance the educational experience. This generally
encompasses classrooms, corridors, libraries, and labs where students learn and participate in
scholarly activities. It also includes outdoor areas such as playgrounds, sports fields, and
gardens, which offer spaces for physical activities and leisure. The design, lighting,
cleanliness, and safety aspects of the school contribute to the physical environment, impacting
how comfortable and supportive the space is for learning. Moreover, the furniture, technology,
and materials present, like desks, computers, and books, significantly influence the overall
learning atmosphere.
Describe the social environment: The school's social environment pertains to the
interactions, relationships, and social dynamics between students, teachers, and staff. It
encompasses how individuals interact, work together, and build friendships, along with the
feeling of belonging and community present in the school. A constructive social atmosphere is
marked by respect, inclusiveness, and collaboration, where students assist each other and
experience a sense of connection. It promotes collaboration, strong peer connections, and
constructive interactions among students and teachers, fostering a sense of togetherness.
Schools that foster a vibrant social atmosphere typically feature clubs, activities, and events
that promote social interaction and involvement. Conversely, an unfavorable social
atmosphere might include cliques, harassment, or social isolation, which can influence
students' health and academic success.

Learning Episode Making On-line or
7 Virtual Learning
Environment Safe and
Conducive
Notice
Unlike the traditional face-to-face environment, online or virtual environment is a bit difficult
to manage. It is because Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is imaginary and not in the
physical sense. It has no corners or walls and it can be set up with the support of technology.
As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class?
Answer: As an aspiring educator, I’ve realized that structuring lessons and distributing resources
is straightforward in an online classroom. Utilizing platforms such as Google Classroom or
Zoom makes it easy to share assignments, facilitate discussions, and interact with students.
Incorporating interactive activities such as quizzes or polls is straightforward, allowing students
to remain engaged and connected during online learning.
How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
Answer: Students demonstrate their engagement in the lesson by posing inquiries, taking part in
discussions, and finishing assignments or tasks. They participate by answering questions,
collaborating with peers in group tasks, and expressing their opinions or concepts. Moreover,
they maintain concentration, engage with the lesson, and show comprehension through tasks or
tests.
Analyze
✓Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
✓Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a conductive environment.
Reflect
As a future teacher I feel that the on-line learning environment can be safe if
Answer: As an aspiring educator, I believe that the online learning space can be secure if explicit
rules for respectful conduct are established and appropriate security protocols are implemented.
This involves utilizing secure platforms, safeguarding students' privacy, and overseeing
interactions to deter bullying or unsuitable content. Promoting open dialogue and making sure
40
that students feel appreciated and supported can contribute to establishing a positive and secure
online learning environment.
OBSERVE
Identify the problem brought about by the online learning environment…
Answer: A challenge posed by the online learning environment is the absence of in-person
interaction, making it more difficult for students to maintain engagement and connection.
Technical problems, like unstable internet connection, can also interfere with education.
Moreover, certain students might face challenges with managing their time and staying
motivated without the framework of a physical classroom.
REFLECT
How would you solve this problem?
Answer: To address the deficiency of in-person interaction in the online learning setting, I would
implement more engaging tools such as video conferencing, breakout sessions, and collaborative
projects to promote student involvement and social bonding. To address technical difficulties,
offering offline materials, recorded classes, or adjustable due dates can assist students dealing
with connectivity challenges. To tackle time management and motivation, I would establish clear
expectations, offer consistent feedback, and divide assignments into smaller, achievable tasks.
Providing virtual office hours or check-ins can assist students in staying on course and feeling
more supported.
PLAN
What initial plan do you intend to do solve the problem?
Answer: My original strategy to address the issue in the online learning setting would emphasize
developing a more engaging and encouraging atmosphere for learners. Initially, I would create a
definitive timetable with consistent video meetings to foster a sense of organization and promote
in-person interaction. I would also include interactive activities like group discussions or
teamwork projects to enhance connection. For learners facing technical difficulties, I would offer
offline materials and adaptable choices for submitting assignments. Furthermore, I would
provide individualized assistance through consistent check-ins, aiding students in managing their
time and maintaining motivation.

Establishing My Own
8 Classroom Routines and
Procedures in a Face-to-

PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST
To ensure that I can carry out/perform my tasks efficiently and effectively in participating and
assisting my cooperating teacher in establishing routines and procedures, in the classroom or in
remote learning, I must be guided by the following questions:
Having these guide questions in mind, consult your Resource Teacher on the possible assistance
or participation that you can do to help her/him in doing the classroo routines. Complete the
matrix for the routines that you can employ before, during after classes in the classroom/remote
learning to ensure order and discipline in your classes List down the problems which you have
encountered while implementing ther routines,
Notice
After doing your classroom routines and formulating your procedures, state what you noticed
by answering the following questions:
How did you feel after employing your classroom routines and establishing your
procedures in the classroom / remote learning?
43
students do not fully embrace their roles .How did your students respond to your classroom
routines and procedures?
How did your students responds to your classroom routines and procedures?
Based on their responses, it seems they are in favor of the classroom routines and
procedures. I noticed their enthusiasm to adhere to and implement them in class, even if they
currently aren't doing so. Before that, many students were more interested in asking
questions to gain clarity on the routines and procedures we follow.
Was there a change on your classroom environment/ teaching- learning process after you
have implemented your classroom routines and procedures?
Certainly, I observed that implementing routines and procedures in the classroom leads to a more
efficient class, reduces unnecessary behavior, increases the effectiveness of all activities, and
helps students become more organized.
What was the feedback your Resource Teacher on your classroom routines and
procedures?
Some of the routines I have in the matrix we consult it to our resource teacher if its okay he
agree to us that is good, Also he add that having icebreaker or energizer in an online class
can reduce the time for discussion so they skip it because the allotted time for the limited
which is good only for 45 minutes, But according to him it is better to have icebreaker or
energizer in the class.
Analyze
1. What factors/ conditions prompted you to establish those classroom routines and
procedure? The reasons that prompted me to create those classroom routines and
procedures include maintaining order in the classroom, addressing disruptive
behavior, and meeting my expectations for the learners.
Reflect
What insight have you gained while doing this learning episode?
Performing this episode. I can recall all my teachers from elementary, high school, and
college. I now understand that the routines and procedures used in class are crucial for a
smooth flow and positive behavior. When considering the routines and procedures I use in
my classroom as a prospective teacher, I realized the importance of thinking more deeply
about my expectations for students in order to create suitable routines and procedures.
44
Additionally, when presenting these routines and procedures to the class, it is important for
me to ensure that they understand and are clear on the instructions so that I can teach
them effectively. By doing this daily, they can practice on their own, but I must closely
monitor them to correct those who don't do it correctly by the end of the day. Furthermore,
I have come to understand that by engaging my students in brainstorming sessions, they
are able to actively participate in establishing effective routines and procedures for their
behavior in class as they feel their ideas are valued.
REFLECT
I hope to achieved to address these problems and challenges by
Selecting appropriate strategy and intervention to make sure that the students are participating
and followed the routines that employed on the class. These intervention and strategy like
modeling, giving rewards, and praise them about what they've done for them to become more
motivated in the class.
PLAN
Some strategies/ ways which I can employ to improve my classroom routines are
✓ As their teacher I'm their model so to ensure they know how to follow and do the routines
and procedure we have I need to model it by showing to class like for example arrive the
class five minutes before the time so that they will learn to manage their time where in the
next meeting they know how to enter the meeting on time. Praise students can motivate them
to be active in the class because they will feel the effort in the class is worth it.
✓ Giving rewards also can motivate them to perform better on the class, follow routines and
procedure. Posting a piece of copy or images of routines on the wall/ Google classroom for
them remember it every day. Also show a video clip on the class that implies same routines
and procedure.

how you can structure this process,
especially in the context of Grade 10 Arts,
where the focus is on Filipino Folk Songs,
Rhythm, Melody, and Lyrics
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson. The purpose of the lesson is to explore how
rhythm, melody, and lyrics in Filipino folk
songs work together to convey emotions,
cultural stories, and values. Students will
gain a deeper appreciation for Filipino
culture, enhance their musical understanding,
and apply these insights to both academic
and personal contexts. By the end of the

55
concepts.
G. Finding practical applications of In this lesson on Filipino folk songs, students
concepts and skills in daily living. learn about rhythm, melody, and lyrics,
which are essential components of music.
These concepts are not just theoretical but
have practical applications in real-life
situations, enhancing various aspects of
students' lives, from emotional expression to
cultural connection and even in problem-
solving and teamwork. By linking music to
everyday experiences, students can
appreciate the real-world value of what they
learn.
H. Making generalizations and Through the study of rhythm, melody, and
abstractions about the lesson lyrics in Filipino folk songs, we can
generalize that music transcends cultural
and linguistic barriers, creating a universal
form of expression. Filipino folk songs,
while unique to the Philippines, share
fundamental musical elements (rhythm,
melody, and lyrics) that are present in all
forms of music across the globe. These
elements allow individuals from various
backgrounds to connect emotionally, even if
they don’t share the same language. Music,
in this sense, is a universal language that
fosters emotional expression, social bonding,
and cultural pride.
I. Evaluating learning The goal of evaluating learning is to assess
how well students have understood and
applied the concepts of rhythm, melody, and
lyrics in Filipino folk songs. This evaluation
will help determine the effectiveness of the
lesson and provide insight into students'
grasp of the content, as well as their ability to
apply these concepts to both academic and
real-life situations

Why is lesson planning an integral part of the instructional cycle?
Lesson planning is a vital part of the instructional cycle because it helps ensure that teaching
is purposeful, structured, and goal-oriented. It enables the teacher to organize content, define
clear learning outcomes, and select appropriate teaching strategies and resources. Planning
also allows the teacher to anticipate potential challenges and prepare to address the needs of
diverse learners. Additionally, well-planned lessons foster effective student engagement,
mastery of concepts, and continuous assessment of student progress, leading to successful
learning outcomes. Without a proper plan, instruction may become disjointed or unfocused,
hindering student understanding and achievement.
Time limitations can make it difficult to develop thorough lesson plans that include all
required elements like goals, materials, and evaluations.
Making sure that the language and directions are easy to understand for all students,
taking into account varying levels of learning.
Ensuring that the lesson is both engaging and manageable requires balancing diverse
student needs in terms of learning styles, interests, and abilities.
Adjusting teaching methods for virtual or distance education, particularly when resources
are limited or student interaction is restricted.
REFLECT
2. I hope to achieve to address these problems and challenges by
Using templates and guides to simplify the task of creating lesson plans, which
will save time and guarantee that all essential elements are included.
Seeking input from peers and mentors to guarantee that I am choosing the best
63
strategies and resources for my students.
Using straightforward and succinct language in my plans and making sure that
instructions are clear, considering the different levels of language skills my
students have.
Work together with coworkers to exchange resources and tactics for adjusting lessons for
a variety of students.
Utilize interactive platforms like quizzes, group chats, and video discussions in remote
learning to ensure student engagement and participation.
Allocate additional time for post-class reflection to determine successful elements and
areas for enhancement.
Create a lesson plan format that can cater to different student requirements and
educational settings (online, modular, face-to-face) with adaptability.

Paste one (1) lesson plan and write your simple reflection.
The lesson plan I created centered on educating Grade 5 students about Filipino folk music. One
of the main difficulties I encountered was making sure that the lesson was suitable for both
students attending in person and those learning remotely. I employed multimedia tools to exhibit
various musical instruments and give students a deeper insight into the cultural background of
the lesson.
In the lesson, students appeared interested in the hands-on activity with the instruments, but I
noticed that some students in the online setting struggled to participate because they had limited
access to resources. I will think about incorporating additional digital tools for remote students
and giving them the opportunity to make simpler instruments at home for enhancement. I will
also dedicate additional time to go over the lesson's language to guarantee clarity for all students,
especially those with language barriers.

After you have written your lesson plan, confer with your Resource Teacher on how you can
participate / assist in delivering instruction in one of his/her classes. The Robert Gagne’s
Nine Event of Instruction, will guide you to implement the various steps well.
Complete the given matrix by using Gagne’s Nine Event of Instruction, once a lesson is
assigned to you. Consult your Resource Teacher if you plans are ready for implementation or
your assistance is needed in any part of the lesson.

Icebreakers
Notice
Using Robert Gagne’s Nine Event of Instruction, what did you notice in the following
segments of learning?
• How did the students react to the activities / various elements to arouse their interests?
Attention enables students to prepare or preview and oversee and control their thoughts
and actions. Focusing is the initial stage in the learning journey. They claimed that their
ability to comprehend, acquire knowledge, and retain information is hindered when their
focus is on things other than learning.
67
• Were the students focused when you were stating the learning objectives at the
beginning of the lesson?
Sure, because I chose to utilize students' existing knowledge. Understand the interests
of students. Facilitate classroom conversations. Develop engaging learning tasks and
Incorporate contemporary technology to capture students' attention at the start of the
lesson.
• Did you notice some students who needed assistance? What did you do?
Yes, I believe they require assistance. Teaching Assistants frequently assist children
who require additional help with subjects like reading and math. With oversized classes, teachers
are doing their best to support and motivate students to achieve their maximum potential.
• Did the students find difficulty in applying the theories / concepts learned to real life?
Yes, I think they easily link theories learned in class to real-world scenarios because the
Resource teacher has techniques for showing students how theories can be applied in practical
situations. This includes asking thought-provoking questions, promoting collaboration among
students, and structuring activities that encourage the application of new knowledge.
• What pieces of evidence can prove that the students had retention of learning?
Evaluating the student's understanding of the goals also serves as an indicator of how well a
course is working. Various evaluation methods, such as questionnaires, surveys, interviews,
observations, tests, and ongoing work portfolios by participants, provide proof that students
achieved a high score.
Analyze
After planning your lesson(s) you may be requested by your Resource Teacher to deliver the
lesson(s). Your Resource Teacher will use a classroom observation sheet to evaluate the

I have to point out that the process proceeded seamlessly with the tools I utilized, especially with
the use of YouTube to capture the students' interest. It is common knowledge that children are
highly enthusiastic when it comes to watching videos.
What would you have done differently? What would I change? What will make it
better next time
Rather than using apps, I should've had the children record a two to three minute video
and then point out the important parts of the video. I must allow children to bring home
activities from the video game-like stage performance.
How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using apps?
When choosing apps, it is preferable to choose apps that the student is already familiar with. It is
for the sake of maintaining the lesson's flow, and no time will be wasted. I chose applications
that are both useful and popular among students while selecting them
Reflect
1. How ready am I in organizing and using apps in teaching-learning process?
I think I am able to plan and execute an app during the teaching and learning journey. I
understand key apps used for education, but I am still improving my skills with them.
2. What do I still needed to learn in order to use apps in teaching-effectively?
I might say that I require information on the times I will be utilizing certain programs.
Since not all applications are suitable for different subjects in class, I must determine
which ones are fitting for specific topics

All academic subjects in the educational program necessitate the utilization of teaching
materials. This is unquestionably crucial in the educational journey. Through the use of media
and technology, students are given chances to engage with words, symbols, and ideas that aid in

enhancing their skills in reading, listening, observing, analyzing, communicating, and writing.
Learning becomes more intriguing, functional, authentic, and appealing when instructional
resources are utilized. They enable both professors and students to actively participate and
succeed in class. Learning tools are essential for fostering self-assurance and personal growth, as
well as for gaining knowledge and skills. These resources are vital in enabling students to
achieve greater success through enhanced learning experiences. This approach improves learning
by allowing the learner to independently delve into the material and engage in repetition.

Notice
After you participated or assisted in the LMS, describe what you observed and experienced
by answering the items below.
1. Describe the structure of the LMS utilized by the teacher. How was it organized?
What main components did you find?
The teacher used Google Classroom as their learning management system, arranging it by
separating announcements and modules for activities and exams. She placed announcements and
modules at the forefront of the LMS stream so that students could easily see them. The teacher
entered tasks and expected outcomes for the students in the classroom setting. There are
comment sections available for both public and private use where students can greet or ask
questions to the teacher, and share links to their uploaded work.
2. How was the content taught or delivered? How were the learning activities arranged?
What strategies did the teacher or you used to help students attain the
objectives/outcomes?
85
The teacher removed the module from the activities. The goggleclassroom stream functioned as
the location for modules to be posted, and the comment section was easily accessible to all,
including the teacher for public viewing. It is the teacher's decision whether to set deadlines for
the activities in the classwork area to remind students when to submit them.
3. What was your experience in participating and assisting?
I have to admit that I really enjoyed helping out and taking part in the session led by my
resource teacher. I was able to explore by observing the activities of the students in the
stream, providing feedback, and assigning scores to their work.
Analyze
1. What do you think are the best features of the LMS that the teacher used? How these
features help the students learn the content?
The teacher found the stream and classwork to be the most beneficial aspects of the LMS they
utilized. The students were able to download or access the modules or activities on it effortlessly.
Students have the option to immediately read the lesson content as soon as the teacher uploads it.
2. How did the teacher/you use the LMS to implement the strategies/activities planned?
The teacher is very strict about uploading activities and modules. In line with my previous
statement, she successfully distinguished announcements and modules from the activities,
ensuring students were clear on how to interact with the LMS content.
3. How did this connect with what you know about LMS and TPACK?
The TRACK model could be considered a platform for LMS. In the LMS platform, instructors
need to possess pedagogical content knowledge in order to link students' existing knowledge
with new ideas while teaching, just like in a traditional classroom environment. Similar to
technological content knowledge, it involves the relationship between technology and
instructional strategies.
4. What problem or challenges did the teacher/you or the students encounter in working
with the LMS? How did it/they affect the teacher/learners? What part/s of the LMS do
you think can still be improved? How can this/these be improved?
The issue I faced is that certain students are unafraid to hand in their assignments late,
and occasionally they hand them in blank. The teacher is unable to communicate directly
with the students as they have the final say on whether or not to respond.
Reflect
1. How ready are you in organizing and using an LMS?
I am somewhat prepared to use an LMS. I have a computer and cellphone that I can use to

learning skills, tools for communication, and
tools for productivity, based on the latest
research in the field.
On what theory/principles can this problem be anchored?
The theory that a child's learning and behavior is shaped by their environment is referred to as
environmentalist learning theory. It was linked to this idea because with an organized
environment and all necessary learning tools, students could achieve their full potential and
showcase their talents. A supportive environment with learning materials helps students improve
their learning acquisition.

As an aspiring educator, it is important to provide students with the four Cs of critical thinking,
communication, collaboration, and creativity along with the traditional and essential three Rs of
reading, writing, and arithmetic. Teachers are able to utilize Learning Management Systems to
gather all necessary resources for students, thereby removing the requirement for numerous
logins. Students are able to view assignments and grades on platforms that can assist them in
effectively organizing their own learning. From what I know, teachers rely on a learning
management system for managing student records, monitoring progress, displaying documents,
generating reports, and distributing course content.

2. How was the content taught or delivered? How were the learning facilitated? What
strategies did the teacher or you used to keep students engaged? How did the students
respond to the teacher? To the activities?
The teacher stays adaptable and anticipates the unexpected, understanding that not all
students have reliable internet. Despite this, she maintains a strong presence and
provides a soft copy of the lesson for students to review if they were disconnected.
3. What was your experience in participating and assisting in synchronous classes? What
were your thoughts and feelings while you participated and assisted?
Analyze
1. What do you think are the best features of a web-conferencing app that you or teacher
used? How did these features help these teachers and the students?
The teacher made use of the google meet web-conferencing app, which helps both the teacher
and students in communication and teaching. It is also considered one of the most secure
applications for online classes as it allows the teacher to monitor the attendees.
2. Referring to the Community of Inquiry Infographic, how well did the teacher/you use
the web-conferencing app to establish: (Describe in detail.)
Teaching Presence?
The teacher conducts themselves professionally. He consistently makes sure that the
students reach their educational goals. He helps his students understand the problem,
guides them in their learning, and motivates them to voice their opinions so the teacher
can understand their perspectives. He also provides students with feedback to assist them
in comprehending their strengths and weaknesses.
Social Presence?
In addition to web conferencing, the teacher used messenger to quickly find out where
students were struggling. The teacher should not message students privately unless it is
an emergency to avoid any misunderstandings among classmates that could lead to
bullying. They created a chat group for students to exit an activity if they have access to
web apps. Furthermore, the instructor for the Graphics Card course assigned a
challenging subject for the students to review in order to be ready for the upcoming
session.
Cognitive Presence?
Watching and assessing how they learn and work, while also recommending adjustments
to their processes. Remind them of their other obligations to motivate them to prioritize
tasks, resources, and activities. Helping them with their educational assignments, process,
or results.
3. What problem or challenges did the teacher/you the students encounter during the
synchronous classes? How did it affect the teacher /learners? What part/s of
synchronous classes do you think can still be improved? How can this/these be
improved?
We encounter various technical hurdles like signal interference and power outage. Since our
return, some time has passed and we need to work on improving our tone of voice and engaging
91
all students in the synchronous class, as some may be holding back due to various reasons. By
making our instruction enjoyable and engaging, we aim to have a positive outcome by the end of
the lesson.
Reflect
1. How ready are you in teaching an online synchronous class?
We are not completely prepared as we expected this synchronous class to be challenging for
us.We require additional expertise and guidance on managing similar circumstances.
2. Using a web-conferencing app, how else would you better establish:
Teaching Presence?
We aim to develop a solid rapport with the students through effective communication to
foster trust and enhance relationships, alongside employing an engaging and successful
teaching strategy for the class.
Social Presence?
Building a positive connection with your students is crucial in order to genuinely capture
their attention, as there is a strong bond between teachers and students that must be
established early on.
Cognitive Presence?
verifying their understanding of the given assignment. Watching and assessing how they
learn and work, making recommendations for changes. Motivating them to prioritize
tasks, resources, and activities by highlighting additional duties they have.
3. What do you still need to learn in order to conduct an online synchronous class using
a web-conferencing app effectively?
We thought we would need to acquire a significant amount of knowledge in order to
instruct this synchronous online class. We essentially have to stay adaptable and ensure
that the online classroom is enjoyable or interesting. We will keep learning to offer the
best education possible for the children and to fulfill their needs.

LEARNING EPISODE Assessing FOR, AS and
OF learning

Analyze
• Did the formative assessment tasks help students master what they were expected to
learn?
Answer: Yes , formative assessment activities assist students in mastering their
expected learning outcomes through continual feedback and chances for growth.
These activities enable students to hone their skills, pinpoint weak spots, and seek
assistance prior to a final assessment. Formative assessments break down learning
into manageable steps, provide consistent feedback, improve understanding, promote
skill development, and help students progress towards mastering learning goals.
Moreover, they assist teachers in adapting their teaching to meet the needs of
students, reinforcing the mastery of the subject matter.
Reflect
How would attainment of learning outcome be affected if there were no formative assessment
nor self-assessments?
Answer: Learning lacks flexibility, adaptability, and a student-centered approach without
formative assessments or self-assessments. This heightens the likelihood of not achieving
learning goals, since students are unable to take advantage of key chances for development,
contemplation, and evaluation during their academic path. The general standard of education
decreases due to increased emphasis on final evaluations that may not accurately reflect
students' growth or abilities.

2. Did teacher make use of both traditional and authentic assessment tasks?
Yes, the instructor uses both traditional and authentic assessment tasks.
3. Are the traditional and authentic assessment tasks (written tests) formulated in
accordance with principles of test construction?
Yes, the teacher employs both conventional and genuine evaluation activities.
4. Were the assessment tasks for formative purposes also used for summative purposes?
Why or why not?
Indeed, the formative assessment tasks were used for summative purposes because we
required to evaluate student comprehension. Yet, both students and teachers can use
feedback from final assessments to guide their efforts and activities in future courses.
98
5. Where were assessment results students better – in the results of traditional or
authentic assessment?
I think authentic assessment produces the most effective results in terms of evaluation
tasks by enabling every student to showcase their creativity while also enhancing their
skills and knowledge. They can also use actual situations and enhance students' skills and
understanding of the course content.
6. Which assessment activity/activities did the students like more? Like least? Why?
Written assessments, particularly multiple-choice formats and true/false
questions, are generally favored by students because they are thought to
lessen stress and exam anxiety and are simple to prepare for and take
Reflect
How can I make the assessment process more meaningful to and more acceptable to
students?
Evaluating, the act of informing students about their knowledge or learning, is a fundamental
aspect of the learning process. When I assess my personal definition of a meaningful evaluation,
I believe the exam should fulfill specific criteria. As a future teacher, I plan to make the
assessment process more relevant and acceptable to students by ensuring it evaluates the skills
they will need in the future. My assessment will be created to provide students with the
opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency and expertise in a challenging way.

Notice
1. Take note of: • The individual students’ scores in relation to established
criterion of success or cut-off score;
• Parents’/guardians’ participation and comments during Card-Giving
Day/Parents’-Teachers’ Conference
Analyze
1. What are the teaching implications of the students’ test scores and grades?
I believe that exam outcomes indicate whether students or teachers have understood the material
taught during the session. How can they improve themselves, and how can a teacher motivate
their students? Help the teacher determine the students' grade level.
2. In what subjects did students perform best? Poorest?
I think that not all students are always interested in every subject; however, I think that
the Filipino subject is successful because students are already familiar with Tagalog
words and many find it easy. In my view, the most challenging subjects are English and
Mathematics due to difficulties in interpreting, summarizing, or evaluating language for
some students. They struggle with solving and understanding mathematical problems.
English and Math are challenging topics due to the complexity of formulating and
expressing formulas in words in both subjects.
3. How was the PTC attendance of parents and guardians? What does this imply?
Participating in a parent-teacher conference is a great opportunity to establish effective
communication between the parent and teacher in order to collaborate on strategies for each
student based on the teacher's evaluation of their behavior. The teacher provides feedback on
the student's academic progress using observations in the classroom.
102
Reflect
What personal message do I get from these students’ scores, grades and parents’/guardians’
PTC attendance and comments?
During my conversation with the teacher, I discovered that some parents and children appreciate
the instructor for providing feedback and aiding their learning, while others question why they
were graded so low. The teacher meticulously details the test grades, activities, and performance
to the student. Consequently, help parents support students in enhancing their understanding,
hard work, and skills.
OBSERVE
1. One good thing that I observe in scoring/grading/Parents-Teachers Conference was
The teacher did it correctly right when the class began. At the beginning of the class,
students must be told about how their grades will be determined, emphasizing that
only their academic performance will be considered for the final grade. Furthermore,
avoid having preconceived opinions. Examine the evidence if you have doubts.

A. Observe/Notice
What problem/concern have I noticed that affect teaching-learning?
Examples response: The problem I have noticed is that there is a lot of competition in
the classroom. The slow learners are left behind.
• Write your own observed/noticed classroom problem here:
The issue I see in the teaching and learning process is that some of the kids have a
very hard time reading and mispronounce every word they read.
B. Reflect
Think deeply of the problem and your observation. Why is this happening? Can the
slow learners be helped? How will it be done?
Example response: I think most of the activities are very competitive. There are
always, winners or losers. The smart students overrule the poor students thus often
they continue to be losers. With this situation, I believe, that I should modify my
classroom strategy.
Therefore, I believe it is because of the exercises they provide, as each student has a
different capacity for fully comprehending the course. I will so alter my approach in
the classroom.

Proposed Title: Enhancing Academic Performance Through ActiveParticipation in
Class among Grade 10 Students in MAPEH at Dagupan City National High School
However, there is still limited research on how active participation specifically affects
MAPEH, which combines both academic content and practical skills. Additionally, we
don't fully understand what motivates students such as peer support, self-confidence, or
teaching methods—to get involved in class activities. This is particularly important for
Grade 10 students in public schools, like those at Dagupan City National High School,
where little research has been done on this topic (Oda, 2015; Tagon, 2019).
This study aims to fill these gaps by exploring the link between active class participation
and academic performance in MAPEH for Grade 10 students. It will look at how
different active learning strategies impact student engagement and outcomes, and
identify the factors that encourage students to participate in class. The goal is to find the
most effective methods for improving student success in MAPEH and to offer insights
that can help teachers create a more engaging and motivating learning experience for
their students.
II. Action Research Question AR Questions
Thus, this paper aims to gather valuable insights into the role of active participation in
enhancing academic performance. Specially it will seek to answer the following
question:
1. How does the teacher’s encouragement of active participation affect students'
engagement and performance in MAPEH?
2. How does the type of active participation relate to the academic performance in
music, arts, physical education, and health of the respondents in terms of the following:
a. Answering questions
b. Group work
c. Hands-on activities
3. What are the most common forms of active participation that Grade 10 students
engage in during MAPEH classes?
4. Does active participation in MAPEH classes correlate with improved skills in the
practical aspects of the subject music. arts, pe, health?
5. What role does peer interaction during class activities play in enhancing academic
performance in Music, arts, pe, health?
109
IV. Action Research Methods (Describe Action Research Methods)
a. Participants/Other sources of Data
By using action research to explore the impact of active participation in
MAPEH, educators can create a more engaging and dynamic classroom
environment, fostering improved academic performance. Through consistent
reflection and adjustment, this approach offers a practical method for
continuously improving teaching strategies to benefit students in the long
term.
b. Data Gathering Method
A letter was sent to the principal of Dagupan City National High School
to request permission for study. After receiving approval, the researcher sought
permission from the classroom adviser and provided the necessary documentation. Once
approved, the researcher distributed questionnaires to the students and later collected and
tallied the responses from the Grade 10 students.

This article explores how active learning strategies can improve academic
outcomes across various subjects, including physical education, and
emphasizes the importance of student engagement in the classroom.
Reflect
What knowledge, attitude, and skills did you have that helped you accomplish it?
In order to accomplish this, we relied on our expertise, mindset, and abilities, including
being meticulous and being able to address challenges in the teaching and learning
journey through research. Self-reflection plays a crucial role in action research as it
enables researchers to strategize, implement changes, and then reflect once more. Action
researchers not only examine the lives of others but also reflect on their own roles as
researchers and practitioners. Factors such as communication, interpersonal skills,
problem-solving, and confidence help us reach our goals. Having a positive mindset and
a willingness to put in the effort assist us in achieving our goals.
What do you still need to learn and develop in yourself to be a skilled teacher-
researcher?
I still need to improve my abilities in collecting and arranging information to become a
successful teacher-researcher. Teachers who conduct research gather large amounts of
data daily and analyze it swiftly to make informed decisions. Effective time management
allows individuals to choose how they spend or manage their activities at their own
convenience. Time management involves planning and consciously controlling the time
allocated to different tasks to enhance effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity.

Work on my Artifacts
Your artifact will be taken from your activity in preparing an action research plan in
this episode. You will just expand the answer that you have given and place in the
template below.
My initial Action Research Plan
I. My Identified Problem:
At Dagupan City National High School, Grade 10 students in the MAPEH
(Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health) subject show relatively low
academic performance, which may be linked to insufficient active participation
in class. Despite the potential of MAPEH to engage students through hands-on
activities, discussions, and group work, many students exhibit minimal
involvement in these interactive components. This lack of active participation
could be hindering their ability to develop critical skills such as problem-solving,
collaboration, and creative expression, which are essential for academic success
in the subject. Moreover, the factors influencing this low engagement, such as
teaching methods, peer dynamics, or individual student motivation, are not well
understood. Consequently, there is a need to explore effective strategies that can
enhance student participation in MAPEH classes, thereby improving their
academic performance and overall learning experience.
112
o Encourage students to create art projects or perform music pieces as a way to
express their understanding.
o Implement field trips or in-class demonstrations where students can
experience MAPEH in action (e.g., visiting a local health center, attending a
musical performance).
