An Observation Guide for Assessing Teacher

1. What are the objectives of the lesson? Science Topic: Understanding matter Subtopic: Changes that happen in matter Objectives: Identify what is matter. Cite some examples of matter. Recognize the changes that matter undergoes. (Physical & Chemical Change) Mathematics Topic: Addition Subtopic: Adding one-to-five digit numbers with five-digit numbers without regrouping Objectives: Develop the skill of addition. Distinguish the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousands Solve one-to-five digit numbers by five-digit numbers without regrouping. English (Reading) Objectives: Topic: Parts of a Book Subtopic: Table of Contents versus Index Identify the parts of the book. Differentiate the Table of Contents from the Index. Explain the benefits of knowing the Table Contents and Index. 2. How do the learners participate in learning activities? In all subject areas the pupils respond very well. When there are activities such as recitations, most of the pupils respond actively and share their insights and own view about the topic, the pupils are also open to ask some questions and they are not afraid or shy to tell about their queries. And when it comes to seat works and board works, I can really notice the focus of the pupils to answer the questions provided for them. 3. What instructional materials are employed? Science charts and posters chalk black board eraser manila paper Mathematics flash cards chalk black board eraser English (Reading) sample indexes manila paper with a drawing of table of contents book chalk eraser black board 4. How does the teacher assess the learning in the lesson? Is she assessing the process or the product? All of the teachers I interviewed focus on assessing the pupils through the product, because according to them, it is what matters most and every student has different learning style to study the lesson, what’s important is that all of them should see the outcome of their learning and this way the learning will take place easily. 5. What reasons does the teacher give in having such learning activities? In Science the teacher preferred to have an activity through the use of graphic organizers. (In a bubble map, on the top most bubble is matter, under this are the two changes of matter which are the physical and chemical. The task of the pupils is to put the sample changes in the appropriate column.) The reason for this kind of learning activity is that the pupils can distinguish easily the difference between the two said changes. In Mathematics as usual the traditional board works are considered as the learning activities. The reason for this activity is to test the ability of the student and to practice their skill correctly and accurately. In English, the teacher prepared an activity that the pupils are given a sample index and table of contents and they need to answer the questions that come after it. The reason behind this activity is to measure the speed of the students to identify the parts of the sample index and table of content and answer the questions appropriately.

Teacher’s Activity	Describe the learning behaviors of the learners	Theories of learning applied by teacher	Your own suggested activity, materials, or assessment that are more appropriate.	Reasons for your suggested activity, materials or assessment
1.Science: Bubble Map Activity	-The pupils were very excited and I can really see the interest of the students.	Observational Learning Theory	Identifying the selected picture as Physical or Chemical Change	-Through the images presented to the pupils they can easily identify the change it undergoes because they can see its image.
2. Mathematics: Board work	-The pupils are quite nervous at first because they might have the wrong answer but throughout when they are already ready they tend to perform the operation.	Law of Readiness	Problem Solving	-By performing this kind of activity the students will not just focus on the numbers itself but also they can easily relate this we real life situations are used.
3. English: Seatwork	-The pupils are really focused on doing their work they are analyzing the topic very well.	Law of Exercise	Venn Diagram	- The reason for this proposed activity is that the students will be able to identify the similarities and differences of using the index and table of contents.

Observer

After going through the process of observation, thinking, and reflection of your experience, you surely have drawn some insights and new understanding of teaching and learning processes. Please express your thoughts, feelings, insights or new understanding through creative visual representation here. Then share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.

• What captured my attention most is how important your learning materials and resources would be. It’s because that having materials that is very “catchy” and interesting will surely get the attention of the learners especially those of the primary level. It is most important to have creative visual aids in dealing with the pupils. Also, it is very essential to prepare the learning activities and make sure that it’s just not only educational but fun in some ways, make it to a point that the pupils will enjoy these activities.
