THE K TO 12 GRADING SYSTEM
FIELD STUDY
This Episode centers on the guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching
methods. It will also tackle lesson development in the OBTL way. The K to 12 curriculum and
teacher education curriculum are focused on outcomes, standards and competencies. This
means that lessons must be delivered with focus on outcomes. Likewise, this Episode dwells on
types of questions, questioning and reacting techniques that teachers make use of. The type of
questions that teachers ask and their manner of questioning and reacting to student responses
have a bearing on class interaction. This Episode strengthens the theories learned in the course,
Teaching Methods and Strategies and in other professional subjects in Education.

These are guiding principles in the selection and use of teaching methods:
Realizing the importance of these guiding principles in teaching and learning, the Department of
Education promotes Standards-and Competency-based teaching with its K to 12 Curriculum Guide. The
Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) has been ahead of DepEd and the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the practice of Competency Standard-Based teaching and
Assessment. CHED requires all higher education institutions in the country to go outcome-based
education (OBE) in its CHED Memo 46, s. 2012. Outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL) is OBE
applied in the teaching-learning process. It is equivalent to competency-based and standards-based
teaching and learning in the K to 12 Curriculum.
When you apply OBTL you see to it that the teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and in turn the
Assessment Tasks (ATs) are aligned with the intended learning outcomes. In other words, in OBTL you
first establish your intended learning outcomes (lesson objectives). Then you determine which
teaching-learning activities (TLAs) and also the assessment tasks (ATs) you will have to use to find out
if you attained your ILO’s.
In lesson planning, the ILO’s are our lesson objectives, the TLAs are the activities we use to
teach and the ATs are the evaluation part.
OBE and OBTL are not entirely new. They are importantly new. With mastery learning of
Benjamin Bloom (1971), we were already doing OBE and OBTL.
Likewise, it is also important that teachers must be able to have a mastery of the art of
questioning and reacting techniques to ensure the effective delivery of instruction.
These are the types of questions that teachers ask.

ANALYZE
REFLECT
Reflect on this question: How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lessons?
Teaching strategies are very important for a teacher to have a proper and effective teaching
and to achieve the lesson’s learning objectives. To select an appropriate strategy for a lesson,
teachers should have enough knowledge of the subject matter that he/she will teach. The teacher
should study and plan the lesson, know the students well specially their abilities, characteristics
and learning types, formulate appropriate learning objectives that are relevant to students, plan for
different classroom activities that will enhance students development and knowledge as well as to
provide assessment that are appropriate to the lesson and can highly increase students’ thinking
abilities. I believe, these steps will allow teachers to properly select strategy/ies that will best suit
his/her capabilities and to the lesson they are going to teach.

Resource Teacher: _Ma’am Joy Bongat Pante_ School: _Abano Laboratory School_
Grade/Year Level: _Grade 7 Subject: _Araling Panlipunan_
OBSERVE
Observe a class and answer the following questions.
1. Did the teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning outcomes (ILOs) at the
beginning of the class? Did he/she share them with the class? How?
Our resource teacher, ma’am Joy, did not state the learning objectives before she begun
teaching the class. After she greet the students, she then introduced their new lesson for that
specific day by conducting a review or recapitulation of their previous discussion beforehand.
But I think, she already stated or announced the learning outcomes that the students are
expected to achieve at their group chat.
2. What teaching-learning activities (TLAs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs help him/her attain
his/her lesson objectives/ILOs? Explain your answer.
Based on my observation, ma’am Joy used lecture method and an inquiry method or the
formulation of questions about what they think of ancient people’s clothing and physical
characteristics. These teaching-learning activities helped her to attain her lesson objectives
because as I have observed, she effectively discussed the topic while encouraging students
participation that increased their learning and also, the students evidently demonstrated
knowledge of the topic by having opportunities to share their ideas or insights.
3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/are these aligned to the lesson objectives?
The resource teacher gave an essay form of question for students (as an assessment) to
share their knowledge or insights about the topic they have discussed which is all about the
ancient people (sinaunang tao). Specifically, the question she gave is all about the ‘Theory of
Evolution’ by Charles Darwin and then asked the students to write their opinions in a one
whole sheet of paper.

ANALYZE
1. What are your thoughts about Outcomes-Based Teaching and learning (OBTL)?
OBTL or the Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning is one of the effective curriculum
design framework which highly helps teachers to focus on the intended learning outcomes of a
particular subject matter. As the term suggests, it does not focused on what teachers must
teach his/her students but rather emphasizes the outcomes that the students are intended or
expected to achieve after a course or program. I think, it would be beneficial for both the
teachers and students because first of all, it really helps teachers to align their teaching
strategies to the classroom activities and assessment process to maximize students learning
and on the other hand, the OBTL provides students a clear goal or guide of what they should do,
make or achieve and be able to systematically and properly work on it.

ANALYZE
1. Neil Postman once said “ Children go to school as question marks and leave the school
as periods!” Does this have something to do with the type of questions that teachers ask
and the questioning and reacting techniques that they employ?
I believe, this saying have something to do with the type of questions that teachers ask
and the questioning and reacting techniques that they employ because as we all know, students
or children always have questions in their minds, they’re curiosity arises especially whenever
they encounter a new word or unfamiliar concept. For me, a teacher transforms into a crucial
tool for students to discover something that they didn’t know or something they want to know.
They help students to learn more things that are relevant to them. However, they don’t directly
answer students questions but rather guide them to seek and think for concepts that will help
them arrive for an answer. To do this, the teacher asks or provide different kinds of questions
and in most cases, they give time for students to think, redirect the questions used or correct
some mistakes or misunderstandings that a students have in order for them to come up with
an appropriate and acceptable answers. This is why the questioning and reacting techniques
that is used by teachers are very helpful and have a direct influence on how children go to
school as question marks and leave the school as periods.
REFLECT
Reflect on: The importance of using various reacting techniques.
Reacting techniques is one of the important and helpful techniques in which teachers
can use during the teaching and learning process. It is very useful for teachers to highly
encourage more responses from the students and to increase their critical thinking abilities. By
giving feedback, praises or corrections, a teacher can effectively demonstrate his/her good
listening skills that will highly contribute to increase students’ confidence and self-trust. Based
on my own experience, receiving a praise or a simple words like “very good”, “excellent”, “good
job”, really helped me in boosting my confidence which gave me a mindset to study more,
recite or share my ideas or opinions in front of the class as well as to actively participate
because I want to experience that feeling that I have just received when I responded to my
teacher’s question. I believe, this will really help students to pursue more and improve
themselves for the better. These reacting techniques will also help them to learn and know
what are the things they have misunderstood and the learning areas to which they needs
improvement through properly addressing or explaining the certain points and arguments.
Thus, this will be a helpful way for them to focus and improve their thinking skills and to
effectively formulate answers about a particular question.
