Statement of Purpose

My Teaching Philosophy

To educate is to become a better educated. It is circular

process that improves with time; I believe the responsibility of educators is to
provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in
academic, business and personal arenas. My teaching philosophy is based on
the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. Education
provides the tools to make informed decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically
evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and
working to improve my skills as an educator are among my highest priorities.

As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in my

students and my self. Course material should be challenging, interactive and
relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and retain more
information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting
and interactive. For this reason, I believe that using a variety of multimedia
including video, slides, and the internet, is an effective way to complement
traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational
experience. I feel that I can encourage students to seek new knowledge and
explore their own ideas by an enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And
what is not known about subjects. When appropriate, the classroom setting
should be expanded to include experience in the field. What better way to
make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by
observing how organisms interact with their environment?

In my interaction with students, I will strive always to be

respectful, especially when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as
product of scientific thinking. I want my student to learn to think critically, not
merely to accept my ideas and opinions; my drive to pursue higher education
was due in part to several teachers who inspired catalyst for other people to
pursue their dreams.

An Observation Guide for a LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER

Learning resource center was a facility within a school which was operated by
a specialist and containing several information sources. It must be developed
and benefitted to educate all people and provide quality education. It must
have current resources for it is an avenue for learning.

As I visit and observe the different learning resource center, the

learning resources that were available or present were computers, textbooks,
magazines, newspapers, television, articles, DVD player, tapes and etc All
materials were properly arranged according to their types and functions. It
seems that all materials have a proper maintenance because they were free
any dust.

Every learning resource center has its own guidelines or procedures

and also rules. Those guidelines or procedure and rules do not involve great
exertion or discomfort on the part of the users because they were just easy to
adhere or practice.

Name of Center Observed: Math, English, Science Learning Resources and

Library

Date of Observation: August 09, 2012

List of Available Learning Resources

Available Learning Resources

Characteristics And Unique Capabilities
Teaching Approaches Where The Resources Is Most Useful
Print Resources
Books

Students Output

Bulletin Board Display

Generally, all these print resources were capable in providing guidance and
idea to students who were not familiar with it and it makes them aware about
the whole concept.
Interactive instruction relies heavily on discussion and
sharing among participants. It allows for a range of groupings and interactive
methods. This includes total class discussions, small group discussions or
projects.
Audio Resources
Cassette

Audio Tapes

Compact Disc

All these resources were capable in upgrading the vocabulary and

listening skill of the learners and this was highly effective for all the auditory
learners.
Letting the student explore the elements of an audio
production could be an effective teaching approach because it develops
listening skills of students.
Non-Electronic Visual Resources
Models

Mock Ups

Microscope

There were models and specimens that were being preserved, thus the
learners can have a close-t- reality experience. It brings out information and
reality experience for the learners who may not be familiar with what it looks
like.
Experiential learning could be a teaching approach where
resources were most useful.
It was inductive, learner centered and activity oriented. The emphasis
in experiential learning was on the process of learning and not on the
product.

ICT Resources
Computers

Television

Generally, ICT resources were used as a means of learning new concepts

and new ideas to the learners. T also brings convenience to the part of the
teachers.
Direct instruction was highly teacher directed and was
commonly used. This includes methods such as lectures, questioning, explicit
teaching and demonstration. It was effective for providing information or
developing step by step skills.
Impression:

Learning resources are the materials used by teachers to enhance the skills
of students, help to discover the different aptitudes and it provides learning
experiences to the students. All learning resources must be contemporary
and the person in-charge must know how to efficiently utilize it because
learning resources support curriculum.

Name and Signature of Observer: JAY AR B. ASPERO

Analysis

1.
Were the learning resource/materials arranged properly according to
their functions and characteristics?
All learning resources or materials were arranged properly according their
functions and characteristics. The books inside the library were properly
arranged as to their types and functions. The proper arrangement of learning
resources help the teachers and students to locate it and it brings
convenience to both teachers and students.

2.
Do the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy access to the materials
by the teachers? Why? Why not?
The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials in such
a way that the guidelines and procedures do not involve great exertion or
discomfort on the part of the teachers or any users of it.

3.

What are the strengths of this learning resource center?

Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted to educate all

people and provide quality education. It will become strong when the person
in-charge knows how to efficiently utilize it and the resources must be
sufficient and must be contemporary that will suit to the latest trends in the
society.

4.

What are its weaknesses?

A learning resource center was only good as the resources they have and the
person running it so if a learning resource center has insufficient or outdated
resources it will be weak. If they have current resources but no one knows
how to efficiently utilize them so it will be also weak.

5.

What suggestions can you make?

I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned and properly
managed so that it can function and give significant contribution to
developing learning society and establishing educated society. Learning
resource center must be designed according to the interest of students so
that their attention will be caught and it must be an information provider to
reinforce students learning.

Reflection

1.
Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest
the most? Why?
It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly arranged
according to their types and functions. It seems that there was a proper
maintenance because most of the books were free from dust.

2.

Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?

The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to
multimedia presentation were the gadgets or materials that give me a strong
belief in my own ability to use or operate it.

3.

Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It is

important for me to be familiar and understand clearly its appropriateness
and effectiveness in delivering a topic.

An Observation Guide for Board Displays

Name of School Observed:

Sagay National High School

Date of Visit:

August 16, 2012

As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found out that every
classroom has its own board display. Some classrooms have a bulletin board
for birthdays of students, classroom cleaners, classroom officers, classroom
activities and announcement and the most common was the board display
that contains the topics to be discussed in a certain grading period.

I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it was more
than that if I will examine the whole campus. Board displays were located in
front of the canteen, near the faculty room and also near the entrance gate.
Most of it was announcements, activities or events in school and etc The
announcements were written in a formal way that everyone can quickly and
clearly understand , the information were arranged past to latest and the
materials used have a high quality that can last for a longer time. Board
display near the entrance of the gate was covered by a class, so as to give
protection to the content and materials used.

Messages were clear enough as I read it and it can be easily

understood because there were no misspelled words or any inconsistencies in
grammar.

Topic of the board displays: Buwan ng Wika and Science Month

Location of the board displays in school: Near the entrance gate

Comments
Effective communication
Conveys the message quickly and clearly.

The messages were clear and easy to understand.

Attractiveness
Colors and arrangements catch and hold interest.

Colors and arrangements were very cogent to the eyes of viewers.

Balance
Objects are arranged so stability is perceived.

Arrangements of objects were good but it needs an improvement.

Unity
Repeated shapes or colors or use of borders holds display together.

There was a perfect selection of colors, shapes and boarders.

Interactivity
The styles and approach entice learners to be involved.

Students have an active involvement in it because the board display

seems to be student made.
Legibility
Letters and illustrations can be seen from a good distance.

Too much art can damage the legibility of the board display.
Correctness
Free from grammar errors, misspelled words, ambiguity

There were no such wrong grammars or even misspelled words.

Durability
Well-constructed, items are securely attached.

The content can last long because it was protected by a glass.

Location: Near the entrance gate

Brief description of the bulletin board:

The board display contains different

activities and events for a certain month and it was located near the entrance
gate where teachers, students and parents can see it.

Evaluation

Strength

Weaknesses

Observations:
Board display was c covered by a glass, it was located near
the entrance gate, it was attractive and there were no misspelled words or
even inconsistencies in grammar.

It can last for a longer time; it can easily attract the attention of the

viewers because of its location where many viewers can see it.
The content was easy to understand because it was free from any
grammar errors.

It can be only weak if it is not updated and if the content

clear enough.

is not

If the person who made the board display is not knowledgeable and just
took it for granted can also become weak.

Judgments or evaluation of educational content and other aspects:

The contents were relevant to the activities for that month.

It will be very effective if the viewers or students perform the task being
posted.

It will be weak if there is no involvement from the students and if the

contents are not updated.

Recommendations or
suggestions for improvement:

The legibility of the board display was good

but it needs an improvement in terms of the arrangements of its content in
order for it to be seen from a good distance and messages must be cogent
enough in order for the viewers especially the students to have an
involvement.

Analysis
1.
Did the board display design reflect the likes or interest of its target
audience? Why? or Why not?
Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the title
and the theme seem to be a student made. Since it is made by certain
students, so I can say that everything being posted are being reflected on the
likes or interest of its target audience because the main target audience are
also the students but it is not the totality because every student has its own
style. It simply means that one student is different from another student in
terms of their likes or interest.

2.
Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Or Why not?

Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read by
the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly seen.
The words used were appropriate to the level of the students where in the
students who will read it can understand its thought.

3.
What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it
effective? Why? Or Why not?
In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey information
to the students such as information about the content of the subjects, proper
hygiene, values information and latest trends in the society. It also serves as
motivation tool for the students to do their best and as I look in it, it really
works for it s purpose. By it designs it holds attention, the contents were
appropriate that provide learning information, and the boards were not
merely filled with written words but also pictures that facilitates easy
understanding.

4.

What suggestions can you make?

I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought of the
sentence. The content must have something new that gives opportunity to
the student to participate or interact and it is important also to update the
content. It would be also nice to add more contents which will invite the
participation of the students aside from information that it conveys.

Theme:
ACTIVITY BOARD

Board title:
YOU ARE WANTED! PLEASE DO WHAT IS ASKED

Rationale:
(purpose)

To enhance students participation in learning by using board display and the

ability of students in responding to the questions posted.

Objectives:
The students will be able to provide answers on the posted questions

The students will be able perform the activity being posted

The students will be able have additional information or learning aside from
what is discussed
in the class

Best features of my propose bulletin enhancement:

It will consist of health information, trivia, and latest educational trends in the
society and activities for the students to do.

Content resources (name each needed resource and give each a brief
description):
Internet- sites with reliable information

Books- it could be from all types of subjects

Journals- those that are fitted to the level of the students

Magazines- source for cut out letters and pictures

Students output- can be displayed in the board (must be attractive, cogent

and legible)

Materials for aesthetic enhancement:

Cartolina

Cutting Materials

Construction Paper

Indigenous Or Recycled Materials

Cut Out Letters

Pasting Materials

Pictures

Coloring Material

Boarders

Reflection
1.
Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come
up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
Creative the teacher can create ideas in a limitless way

Informative the board display must have varied yet appropriate information

Idealistic the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display
would look like and
how it will work for the learning of the target
audience

Artistic- the teacher must have a sense of art in order to make an attractive
board display

Resourceful resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the

enhancement of the board

2.
Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences in
making board displays. How do you practice these skills?
I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative,
informative and artistic. It was high school days when I started making a
board display. The content was the whole topic that covers our third grading
period. I learn how to make boarders and design a letter specifically the Old
Text English Style because that was my favorite font text. It was my first time
to make a board display, thus I still need to improve and practice those skills
for future.

I practice those skills every time I do artworks such as making portfolios and
scrapbooks.

3.
Which skills do you need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve
on or acquire these skills?
I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board
display I must know how to combine colors, make designs appropriate to the
theme and purposed of the board display, and to make it attractive. To have
an artistic skills, I must practice it while still a student, thus I must apply it
every time Im doing an artworks such as portfolios and scrapbooks. There is
also a need for me to accept criticism from others towards my work in order
for me to develop or improve my work.

I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and magazines,

searching through internet, and most of all to be updated about the events or
happenings in this world.

As I observe the class, the topic was about idiomatic expression using
participle. Through the use of visual aids, the teacher delivers her lesson
effectively. The topics were written in a manila paper and there was legibility
in the content because it can be quickly and clearly understood by students
sitting at the back. There was experiential learning that happens inside the
classroom and one of the reasons was that, students interact on the learning
materials that the teacher provides. The teacher let her students read every
detail in the visual aids, actually what was written on the visual aid were

questions for the students to be answered.

Many of them were raising their hands to answer questions and it

simply indicates the students attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.
As I closely observed the students simple gestures, it was inevitable for me
to conclude that they were interested on the lesson. The focus of their sight
was merely on the teacher and the learning resources, and some of them
were frowning maybe its because they were very doubtful or dissented about
the answer of their classmate. Those simple gestures of students were the
indication of attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.

There is legibility on the content because students can quickly and clearly

It will be only weak if the teacher do not know how to efficiently utilize the
material and if the content is not clear enough to students.
Clerical errors could be also its weakness.

It assists the teacher in delivering her lesson, so it is appropriate to use

this material for a large number of students inside the classroom and it is
necessary for the teacher to use it because most of the students were visual
students.

It will be effective if it is used in a proper way such as;
writing on the board must start from left side going to the right side and

to efficiently utilize it.
The appropriateness of this material can
maximize learning inside the classroom. It is appropriate to use this during
activities so that students can compare their answers by writing it on the
board provided by a teachers guidance.
Analysis
1.
What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the
materials/learning resources that she/ he used?
In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be
attentive and participative in their lesson, and also let her students utilize
their analytical skills. The instructional materials used were the perfect fit
because the purpose was accomplished. It really catches the attention of the
students and it aids the teacher intention. The instructional materials serves
as a clear representation that was capable of giving clear information,
through this, ht students were actively engaged in the discussion and the
teacher was trying to use her creativeness and resourcefulness to facilitate
the learning.

2.
What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be
managed?
As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher experienced.
The class was well managed and the teacher did not find it hard to convince
her students to participate in the discussion and activity. There was an
interaction between the students and the teacher, and the teacher makes
sure that her students stay on task as observed.

3.
Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why?
Why not?
Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering the
questions written in the visual aid and some of them were able to answer
what was asked. The teacher gives appreciation to those students who
answer the questions correctly and to those who were not able to give their
correct answer; the teacher gives feedback to improve learning. Through the
score of students on their quiz that shows a positive result, I can conclude
that learning material was used effectively.

Reflection

Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what
would you do differently if you will teach the same lesson to the same group
of students? Why?
If I will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will also
provide activities in order for students to have an opportunity to practice and
apply their learning after learning a particular knowledge, skills and attitudes.
I will also use the same teaching approach which is the inquiry approach.

If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept of
computer literacy for students has been redefined (creating web pages,
digitizing multimedia and the use of social networking sites) thus I have to be
aware of this trends, as my own teaching effectiveness will depend on my
understanding of these recent technological trends. With this reason, I will
create a game through the use of projector in a way that has relation to the
tropic. I will also present a power point presentation that contains my topic

for that day. Through this, the students will be attentive and participative in
the lesson and it brings convenience to my part. If the resources are not
available, I will use the chalkboard and I will provide them an interactive
activity by dividing them into groups to be followed by a short discussion, this
is to facilitate the visual, auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners. After I
implement the instruction, I will evaluate students by providing an
assessment method that is suited to the needs and interest of the students in
order for me to measure the retention of students if they have achieved
mastery, and to know if Im going to proceed or revise the instruction.

An Observation/Survey Guide

Name of the School Observed: Sagay National High School

Date of Visit: August 16, 2012

Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my

chosen topic which was the parts and functions of microscope. As I parts and
functions of microscope as my topic I also choose several learning resources
such as chalkboard, books, power point presentation, mock ups, realia,
photocopies, pictures and visual aids. I choose those several learning
resources because for my topic because I believe that it can help me achieve
my lesson objectives and to maximize learning inside the classroom. Since
my topic is about parts and functions of microscope, so I can say that
available materials are appropriate for my target year level which is the
second year.

Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make flash
cards, cut out letters, and as much as possible learning resources that are
made from indigenous or recyclable materials.

I Use graphic organizer to present the learning resources relevant to the topic
chosen. On the line inside the box, I indicate if the resource is already

AVAILABLE MAY BE PURCHASED OR WILL BE MADE

Topic: Parts and Functions of Microscope

Grade/Year Level: 2nd year

Analysis

Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before

making your own materials your own materials? Explain each

1.
Doing survey of available materials will give me a new idea of
what to make and how to make it. There may be unique learning materials
that could be beneficial to the lessons that I will be teaching, and by looking
at the other materials can have additional information on what to do. Through
survey I can gain competence in preparing instructional materials that are
appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives and learning styles of
my students.
2.
Doing survey can help me realize what other learning materials
that I need to make or avail in order to enhance learning in my class. Doing
surveys provide several options as well as bases for me to choose so that I
can produce an appropriate and effective materials that should be based on
students characteristics or learning styles and to my lesson objectives. It is
also necessary that the materials must be applicable to the subject matter.
3.
Doing survey may also help me evaluate the materials I will be
making is beneficial or relevant to my lesson. The information that I have
gathered during the survey will serve as my bases or guide on how I am
going to evaluate my materials. It is important for me to evaluate the
materials that I will be making so that I can produce an improved and
developed materials based from the evaluation I have made, with this reason
I can gain competence in making instructional materials that are appropriate
to the learning content, learning objectives, and learning styles of my
students.
Reflection

Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?

I like making power point presentations because its easy for me to put
different graphic designs, effects and transitions. I can also insert pictures,
video clips and even sounds. My purpose of selecting power point
presentation among other instructional materials is to make a clear
representation and while presenting a topic, it is necessary for me to monitor
and facilitate to make sure that students stay on task. I believe that making
power point presentations aids in enhancing creativity.

What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did
you overcome them?
I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the power
point program has a guide on how to use it. Making a presentation using
power point program is just an easy task for me. The only thing which I
consider a problem for me is on how Im going to deliver the content in my
presentation.

What tips can you give teachers regarding presentation of teaching?

The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her students.
She/he must see to it that his/her materials will fit to the learning styles of
the students and must be applicable for his/her subject matter for the
materials to be effective. The chosen materials must be appropriate and can
contribute to the achievement of learning objectives. In todays generation, it
is important for a teacher to meet the changing needs and interest of
students, thus several factors must consider such as practicality, availability,
cost effectiveness and appropriateness that is based on students
characteristics or learning styles and lesson objectives. The teacher may also
do surveys to the available materials or can search through the internet.

My Target

At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in preparing

instructional materials (hand out) that are appropriate to the learning
content.

Subject Matter: Types of Chemical Reactions

Grade/Year Level: 3rd year

Outline:

Combination reactions in this type of reaction two or more substances

maybe element
or compound react to form a single product.

The combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide is an example of a
synthesis reaction:
8 Fe + S8 8 FeS

Decomposition reactions this type of reaction occurs when a compound

breaks up into its component parts. It can be two or more substances out of a
compound

The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas is an example of a

decomposition reaction:
2 H2O 2 H2 + O2

Replacement reactions this type of reaction occurs when an element is set

free from its compound producing a new element and new compound.

An example of a substitution reaction occurs when zinc combines with

hydrochloric acid. The zinc replaces the hydrogen:
Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2

Double replacement reactions- a type of reaction in which two compounds

combined to form two new compounds by exchanging their radicals.

An example of a double displacement reaction occurs between sodium

chloride and silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

Analysis

1.

After working on your handout, answer the following questions:

What are the good features of a handout?

A good handout must be concise and can be understood by the readers.

There must be subtitles that make it easier to read and the key words must
be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. To shorten it, the use of bullet
point format may contribute as well as the use of diagrams, flowcharts and
etc Make sure that all the important pints of the presentation are on the
hand out and do not include too much information, otherwise it can become
cluttered. The content must be easily recognized and it must be sequence
properly to avoid confusion. The content must have legibility.

2.

Which of these features are present in the hand out I made?

Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise and
comprehensive. The key concepts were emphasized because they are in bold
type. I also use bullets, concept map. I contained all the important points of
the presentation and I sequenced the details properly to avoid
misconceptions.

The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of
chemical reactions.

3.

Which features are not present in the handout I made?

Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My

penmanship was not good enough to make my handout very attractive to the
eyes of the readers, yet there is a chance to enhance its legibility by using
one of the applications of a computer specifically the Microsoft word office.

I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not necessary
to use subtitles for that subject matter.

Reflection

What difficulties, if any, did you encounter been making the handouts? How
did you overcome them?
To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable source or
references and assistance from a computer. The only thing that took time and
needed brain storming is the conceptualization of the flow of the handout and
the concept map that I included. So first I did was to make an outline of the
content of my handout then I read several references and searching through
the internet just to form my concept map.

I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions. So what

I did was to read and understand the details in every chemical reaction so
that I can give correct examples.

What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts?

The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making the
handout. Then he/she must conceptualize the flow and the content of the
handout by making an outline. The teacher must also read several references
so that the handout will be an informative tool for the students learning.

In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in order
for the students to read it easily and the keywords must be in bold type in
order to have an emphasis. Bullet point format and concept map must be use
to summarize the content. The teacher must put all the important points in
the handout and he/she must not include too much information to avoid
cluttering. The teacher must know how to sequence the content in order to
avoid confusions

utilizing materials (slide presentations) which involve students in meaningful
learning.

Analysis

1.

What are the good features of a slide presentation?

A good slide should include transitions or effects to put

emphasis on some points of the lesson, but not too many. It must have also
one design or theme for whole slides to avoid confusion or any
misconception. The slides must not too long, nor too short to avoid cluttering
in the slides. A pictures speaks thousands words, hence photos must be
included in the slides to let students know what I am talking about. The
contents of the slides are important points of the lesson and must not include
the whole words that I have to say for the whole discussion.

2.

Which of these features are present in the slide presentation you made?

The features that are present in my slide presentation that I

have made are the transitions, effects, only one theme or design for the
whole slide and also pictures that help students visualize their thoughts or
ideas.

My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I give
emphasis on the contents because they are the important points of my
lesson.

3.

Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made?

All those good features of a slide presentation that I have

cited are present in my slide presentation. I did not mention the sound effects
and music, for me it is not essential to use all the time because it brings
distraction to my discussion. There are times that music and sound effects
are highly needed especially in presenting a video presentation

Reflection

1.
What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide
presentation? How did you overcome them?
Making power point presentation is very interesting to me because I can do
most that I wanted to do to make my slides a clear representation and as a
tool of information sources. So far, there were no difficulties that I have
encountered because the program has guides on how to use its features. If
there is a certain feature which I dont know how to use, then I just simply
click help or go to a website specifically the Google to find the answer if there
is an internet access.

Brief Description Of The Material In The Website

Materials
used were appropriate and effective in obtaining the learning outcome. The
materials were also attractive and were used for labeling the different kinds
of skeleton.
Evaluation of the website
Strengths

Weaknesses

It allows the students to interact with real life situation without danger,
expense or difficulty often associated with real situations. The website has an
easy access tool for learning.
It provides the needs and interest of students.

It will be only weak if there is no internet access and if the content of that
website cannot provide the needs and interest of the students.
Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students, I must ensure
first that those topic and activities are consistent in my learning objectives. I
must also give proper instruction to the students before they search such
websites by explaining to them the learning goals to be achieved before
searching any websites so that the students will stay focused during the
activity. When students get confused, I must provide guidance and directions,
guide questions and activities or scenarios. It is also important to have a
follow up discussions to make some generalizations for that topic.

Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective. Upon

surfing on the internet, I saw many websites that have programs to make
learning fun and effective. Some of the websites have games and other has
tutorial programs but aside from those benefits, internet access may also be
dangerous to the learners. From the websites I visited, some of the learning is
incorporated with violence games and pornographic photos and videos which
are not good influence to the students. Using internet as an information tool

is good and effective but proper supervision of the teacher is highly needed
and before giving the topic or any activity to be searched, I must check first
the websites and choose those that are safe for the students.

Over All Reflection

As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in my

mind that learners are rich in learning capabilities. The process of learning
are highly unique and individual, this means that in a classroom there are
individual differences that I must consider. I need to assist my future students
to define and to make explicit to themselves the approaches they ordinarily
use so that they can become more effective in problem solving and learning. I
learned that one of the riches resources for learning is the learners himself.
Each learner has an accumulation of experiences, ideas, feelings and attitude
which comprise a rich vein of material for problem solving and learning. I
consider learners as the richest resources for learning because they have
their own aptitude which are their innate talent or gift , interest which
express deep feelings for objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and
enjoyable, they also have their own ability which pictates the prospect of
success in any purposeful activity, attitude which is the learners perspective
and disposition and last their family or cultural background which is their
socio-economic background.

I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal

meaning and relevance of ideas. As a future teacher, I will only facilitate my
learners and they are the one who will give the meaning of a concept. Just
like for example, my topic is all about the leaf of a plant. I will let them have
field trip outside the classroom to observe the leaf of a plant. I will guide
them and I will demonstrate first and give some information about the leaf
and its parts after that, they will give their own meaning or understanding
about the leaf and its parts. Learning is gradual its because it is by stages or
levels so as a future teacher someday I must extend my patience.

To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my work

and to my students, I must have also humor in a way that has connection to
the topic, also values and attitude, fairness, sincerity and honesty, and
professionalism.
