The Teacher
We Remember

Participate and Assist

(Note to Student: As you participate and assist your FS Resource Teacher in her
daily task, take note of what you are expected to give more attention to as asked in
the next step of this Learning Episode, NOTICE)

Notice
1. Take note of the following:
• Your Resource Teacher comments, facial expressions, gestures and actions in
class
• Students’ comments, facial expression, gestures and behavior in class
• How your Resource Teacher relates to you
• The classroom proceedings
• The classroom atmosphere – relaxed of threatening?

Analyze

1. From the PPTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx
videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
Answer: I am not fully aware that I need to view a video. But, to answer the question,
“What competencies does a great teacher possess?” My answer is, a competencies that a
great teacher must possess are having subject knowledge, effective communication,
adaptability, patience, empathy, creativity, and the ability to motivate and inspire pupils.
Aside from that, a teacher must often excel in problem-solving and fostering a positive
learning environment.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?
Answer: No! Some personal competencies like empathy, patience, adaptability, and a
genuine passion for teaching are characteristics that a teacher must have in order to have
good relationship towards the pupils. Being compassionate to its pupils and passionate to
its work are highly appropriate and is a good sign for being an effective teacher.
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a
lesson, execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades?
Explain your answer.
Answer: I think, professional competencies are highly important but it is not enough. It is
because a teacher must have personal competences to understand the needs of different
learners. If professional competencies are being possess without personal competencies,
the teacher will have high standard and sometimes forget how to be humane.
We can’t deny the fact that professional competencies makes learning effective and
implemented but sometimes it hurt learners who are likely have hard time in learning
especially those who have special needs.
4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important- personal qualities or professional
competencies?
Answer: They both have a vital role to a teacher for being great. I must say that both are
important and they must be balance to come up being an effective teacher. Personal
qualities are more often define the teacher and student relationship and this professional
competencies are being competent on ensuring effective delivery of the subject matter.

5. Who are the teacher that we remember most?

Answer: As for me, the teacher who I remember the most is the strict teacher. It is
because their facial expression and how they are so strict in teaching makes me eager to
learn more in order to not be scolded. And I can say that, being strict is being an effective
teacher also. They are strict but they are more focus and concern in teaching the pupils
effectively.

Reflect

Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I need improvement in?
Answer: I can say that I do possess all the personal qualities but being so knowledgeable
and effective communication are somewhat my weakness because I don’t really have
enough confidence to fight my stage-fright and manage my emotions.
I think I need to improve this competencies so that I can say that I am deserving in this
profession.

Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?

Answer: I can say that I am slightly strong in having knowledge because I am more eager
to learn and to seek more knowledge to make myself prepared. It is because I believed that
having knowledge is having confidence also.

In which competencies do I need to develop more?

Answer: I think I need to develop on how to be effective in communicating. It is because
I am a less talkative person that talking in crowd is very difficult for me. But I believed
that everything is possible with being hardworking and having dedication to learn more
and more.
Who are the teachers that we remember most?
Answer: The strict teacher.

Work on my Artifacts

Attach your reflection here.

Being so dedicated in making myself more deserving having no hard time to myself, I learn
that I only need to take everything easily. I learned that it is not necessary for me to force
myself and be drain in a thing that I am not good at but only focus on this that I am capable
of and is having time to progress and develop.

On the other hand, being passionate in everything you do makes the work easier and fast. I
just don’t have to pressure myself but work with pride and inspiration. I believed that I can
get what I manifest the most and I can be what I wanted to be.

Therefore, I am willing to do my best so that I can say that I am deserving and I am having
good time even in this bad situation where everything felt tired and hopeless. With my
inspirations and dedication to have progress, everything will be align in God’s will.

OBSERVE
From what teaching principles of theories can this problem be anchored?
 I think, this could be anchored both professional competencies and personal
qualities of a teacher.
Write an example of problematic situation that you have observed and noticed.
 There is no problem so far. The only issue is that, pupils are highly active, lively
and chaotic. But they are eager to learn and being chaotic is not big deal anyway.

REFLECT
What have I realized? What do I hope to achieve?
 I realized that it I is important to have action research to identify problems and find
immediate solutions. I hope to achieve effective and fruitful teaching.
Write a probable solution to the problematic situation.
 Giving them snack and letting them play are the only solution to the stated problem.
hiiuIt is tested and proven.

PLAN
What strategies, activities, and innovations can I employ to improve the situation or solve
the problem?
Answer: As a kindergarten observer, making activities like colouring, matching type, and
drawing are the activities that they like the most. So, to reduce the boredom and increase
interest, the teacher make more activities that in line with the topic.

Reflection

Todays’ disciplining is not really have

the essence for the children to follow.
REFLECT Or, should I say, todays’ disciplining is
not the same as before. I can say that it
is more alarming for the teacher to
discipline the pupils. The children now

Plan of Action

To manage the pupils’ discipline, the

teacher tend to make more ways of
disciplining the children.

Implementation

The teacher use the planned way of

ACT disciplining the pupils in a right way.

What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how will
these be utilized in your practice?
Answer: I understand that Action Research is used to improve educational
practice, manage effective teaching and making progress to the old teaching
method. I realized that Action Research plans are well-develop, implemented,
amended, and implemented again. This makes the cycle repeat and continue
by reflecting and revising.

Reflect
As a future Teacher, is conducting an Action Research worth doing?
Answer: Yes, it is! It is because conducting action research is highly valuable as it allows
the teachers to be actively engage in their own overall development.
In the other side, it promotes a deeper understanding of teaching methods and strategies
that foster a cultural improvement in education.

How can AR be useful for every classroom Teacher?

Answer: Action Research is very important for every classroom teacher as it gives
advantages to the teacher.
Some advantages are the professional development of the teacher, it improve teaching
practices, a student-centered approach, promotes empowerment, and tailored solutions in
which it enable teachers to identify specific issues and solutions.
This are just some of the advantages that Action Research has.

OBSERVE
Remembering my classroom observation in FS 1, I noticed that there are many questions
that raised in my mind. These includes:
a) What is the essence of being a teacher?
b) What can I do to be good teacher?
c) Is being a good teacher enough?

REFLECT
Thinking deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to solve
the problem or answer the question, like:
a) Being a responsible, creative, and effective teacher.
b) Learn to accept ones weakness and enhance it with dedication and
willingness to improve.
c) Being good mix with being an effective teacher.

The brighter future depends on the teachers teaching and strategy to make the
pupils learn.
Upon seeing the effectiveness of teaching in a well comfortable classroom, I said
to myself that soon, it will be my classroom to have effective teaching also. I dreamed of
having a beautiful classroom, has proper ventilation, calming and is comfortable.
Making actions as a future teacher make me feel deserving for all the sacrifices I
made. I dreamed of being a good and effective teacher but I realized that I need to make
the classroom first more welcoming and safe for learning.
 To do that, proper ventilation is a must. Making the classroom beautiful is a
reward for being a good and effective teacher and hopefully, soon, in the future, I can
achieved such good and beautiful classroom learning.

Participate and Assist

Given the concepts and the infographic, how can you participate and assist in a
face-to-face learning environment?
Answer: As of now, we are currently in face to face class in which everything is
back into normal and as far as I see, everything went well from the use of classroom, to
the teaching strategies and down normal teaching in which one seat apart or 1 meter away
is not necessary.
In this face-to-face learning, my task is to teach pupils and assist them.
Facilitating is normal to me as I am thankful that I am facilitating pupils.

Notice

What do you think brought the changes in the face-to-face learning environment now?
Answer: It is because of Sara Duterte’s Baklas Backlash.

From the changes that you identify, choose one that you can do. How will you do it?
Answer: I think I will chose the more chairs in the classroom as we are having normal
teaching now. More chairs and no more one meter away from each of my pupils.

Reflect
Do you think making the learning environment conducive for a face-to-face classroom
will enable the leaners to achieve better learning outcomes?
Explain your answer.
Answer: A big YES! It is because making the learning environment welcoming, calm
and convenient will give bi impact to the pupils as it will attract their interest and become
their inspiration to go to school.

Write Action Research Prompts

OBSERVE
What common problem have I noticed in the face-to-face learning environment?
Answer: Chaotic and rude pupils are the problems I observed in a face-to-face learning. It
is because non discipline pupils are hard to handle. They never obey and usually do
things you prohibited. They are more likely rude but as days passed, their behaviour and
attitude are manageable.

Notice
Unlike the traditional face-to face classroom 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 concerns 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: I can’t answer this question as I am not yet a teacher. But I think Google
Classroom helps the teacher to lighten the weight of struggles in teaching.

How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
Answer: They listened attentively and cooperate well in class.

Analyze
Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of on-line learning environment?
Check one or more.
________It was difficult to observe the physical behavior of the students.
________It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform
________ Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
________Internet connectivity is great factor to support a conducive environment.

Reflect
As a future teacher, I feel that the on-line learning environment can be safe
I am going to oppose this line as on-line learning is not really convenient for learning. It
has factors that affect the pupils’ engagement in learning especially those who are not
able to afford cellular phone.

I think that teaching in a virtual learning environment is not good for learning.
