    from different levels
    (preschool, elementary, and
    high school)
    Step 2
    Describe each of the learners
    based on your observations

    Step 3
    Validate your observation
    by interviewing the
    learners.
    Step 4
    Compare them in terms of
    their interests and needs.

    matrix. This will allow you to compare the characteristics and needs of learners at

    different levels. The items under each domain are by no means exhaustive. These are just
    sample indicators. You may add other aspects which you may have observed.

    They can easily run


    and go up in stairs
    carefully.
    They are not clumsy.
    Their writings are
    good and also their
    drawing.
    They treat their
    teacher like just they
    have the same age.
    They always annoy
    each other
    They interests was in
    the topics about
    lovelife
    Some students were
    happy and they'd
    become noisy but
    when their teacher
    scolded them, they
    become sad and quiet.
    Many of the students
    don't have confidence
    in expressing their
    answer.
    They can't easily
    express their answer
    using english words.
    They wouldn't
    comprehend what
    their teacher says. The
    teacher has to explain
    well the instruction or
    what problem is in

    able to easily solve by


    the students.

    Your Analysis
    Write the most salient developmental characteristics of the learners you observed.
    Based on these child characteristics, think of implications for the teacher.
    Example:

    Preschool
    Age Range of Learners
    observed _____

    Elementary
    Age Range of Learners
    observed _____

    High School
    Age Range of Learners
    observed _____

    Teen-agers can't easily


    focus in the lesson,
    when they wouldn't
    comprehend what their
    teacher says.

    The students couldn't listen on their


    teacher and the teacher wouldn't satisfy
    with the learning results of his students.
    Therefore, the teacher would explain his
    lesson in english words that are familiar
    to his students.

    Your Reflections
    1. While you were observing the learners, did you recal your own experiences when
    you were their age? What similarities or differences do you have with the learners
    you observed?

    Yes, when I am at their age I have fear to be scolded with my teachers so I

    always listen on their lessons. The similarities are I enjoy the class if the
    topic is interesting and I feel bored when I don't understand the lesson.
    2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did
    she/he help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional, social,
    cognitive)? How did it affect you?

    My Values teacher in 4th year (Sir Genova). He helps me to have selfconfidence in presenting my reports and answering in the class.
    3. Which is your favourite theory of development? How can this guide you as a

    future teacher?

    My favorite theory is the Psychosocial theory of Erik Erikson. As a future


    teacher, it will guide me in understanding the behavior of my students and
    also their situation, so I can think of an alternative plan to help my students
    in their learning process.
