Episode 3 See and Say

See and Say ( Utilization of Teaching Aids)

My Tools

Class Observation

- On my observation in grade 4 class, at macabalan elementary school. The teacher taught mathematics subject .we all know that mathematics subject is really boring and there are only few students who love math .what she did to make her students participate in her class, she used colored picture and colored chalk  in presenting her lesson to get  the attentions  of her students. I can say that using different picture/colored picture is very effective in teaching because as I observed I can see the active participation of her students you cannot see that they feel bored and they don’t like the subject.

My Analysis 1

UTILIZATION OF TEACHING AIDS FORM
Grade or Year Level of Class Observed: Grade 4
Date of Observation:
Subject Matter: Mathematics
Brief Description Teaching Approach Used by the Teacher: Maam jacie used guided/exploratory approach and demonstration method in teaching. After her lesson/discussion she let her students make a group and solve the problems and discuss it in front of their classmates.
Teaching Aids Used(Enumerate in bullet form)	Strengths	Weaknesses	Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids used
·  Books  Colored picture  Colored chalks	Used for references. Also it helps and guides the teacher in presenting her lesson.  It makes the discussion more lively and interesting.  If there is some additional information need to be written on the board and also emphasizing the words used.	It has limited information. Pictures Sometimes could be distraction to other students It can easily erase and cannot be seen permanently on the board	All the teaching materials used are appropriate to the subject taught. And also you have to make sure that the materials you used is informative and attractive to the learners.

  

My Analysis 2

1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources that she/he used?

-Maybe, by the used of pictures/objects in her discussion she knows that this is her way to explain and she knows that students can easily understand the lesson if there is pictures included.

2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?

-Handling many students with different attitudes/behavior is very hard thing in part of a teacher but it is their job/responsibilities to teach/impart knowledge to their students. One time, when the teacher said it is hard to have a student who is slow learner because you cannot move on to the next topic if there’s even one student who cannot understand your lesson. You really have your patience and love in what you are doing to stay longer in that profession.

3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not?

-Yes, I think the learning resources/materials she used are very effective in her discussion because I can see that the students are actively participating in her class. There is interaction between the teacher and students even the result of their quiz there are many students who got passing score.

My Reflections

1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you do differently if you would teach the same lesson to the same group of students? Why?

For me, I will do the same; I will also use different pictures and attractive materials in presenting my lesson. And I will give an activity and let them make a group and discuss/solve the problem and later on they will present it in front of their classmates and I’ll make sure that everybody will involve their selves in the activity and participate aside from that they are learning they are also given a chance to get along with others students.

My portfolio

Include here pictures/illustration of the materials used by the teacher. Put your comments/annotations about what you observed

          

the teacher use instructional material like cartolina/colored papers for making different shapes for her discussion so that her students would be interested and willing to listen because they saw different picture and colors.
