MY ANALYSIS

UTILIZATION OF TEACHING AIDS FORM

Grade or Year of Class Observed: Grade V- A

Date of Observation: February 15-17, 2013

Subject Matter: “Water Cycle”

Science and Health V

Brief Description of Teaching Approach Used by the Teacher:

Mrs. Dizon taught the lesson in a constructivist way because she lets the students to actively involve into the discussion. She used both traditional and electronic instructional materials through believing that it is the best medium in acquiring learning. She utilized learning by doing and dynamic presentation of lesson. Though the preparation of the materials is just a day before the presentation of lesson, the outcome of the strategies used is still excellent and awesome.

Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids used

Chalk and board

Pictures of water cycle

easy to access and already provided at the classroom

cope attention of the students by arousing their curiosity

not much arouse the interest of the students maybe because that’s the usual materials used

the size of the picture is not that suitable for big classes

It still important aid because there are part of the discussion that students need to write their own ideas at board and that is the most inexpensive materials that can be used in teaching.

The illustration of water cycle really played great role in teaching the topic. The picture guides the students’ curiosity and

imagination on how the cycle goes.

It is relying suitable in the discussion because as the students saw the video, they will be able to familiarize themselves on how the process goes. Much of the retention is being attained by the students rather than just hearing the concept from the teacher.

Nursery music sustains the interest and eagerness of the students to learn more about the topic. It should always be connected with the lesson itself.

It provides the application of the lesson as on how they learned and complete the puzzle.

It provides the student printed important information needed by them to perceive.

My Analysis

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

I think the teacher encouraged to use both traditional and modern technology instructional materials was that she generalized its nature and importance of both materials. Traditional instructional materials, which are the chalk-and-board method and the visual aid, were used to give the information needed by the students. It still plays an important role in teaching and learning process because it is the common and most available materials that can be found in every classroom. On the other hand, she utilized modern technology instructional materials because she expected that it sustain the children’s interest and motivates them to learn. Aside from that, integrating technology in the discussion made the class interactive, lively and enthusiasm.

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

She experienced hardship in operating the dvd player to play video clips about water cycle which was her motivation. And to accomplish everything, she searched for help from her intern-student. Overall, everything was fixed and the outcome of the presentation was a job-well done. During presentation of values integration of the lesson, she provided jumbled word which will come up with the values, “We are thirsty, I give you water because you care and love me”. And she found difficulty in providing complete words and to sustain what is missing, she wrote it down immediately on a piece of paper then instructed students to complete the values being assimilated.

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

As the discussion was done, I concluded and generalized that both learning instructional materials, the traditional and modern one, were used effectively because it both sustained and supplied the necessary information and experiences needed by the students to understand how the cycle goes. In addition to that, the discussion let the students learn-by-seeing and be an active learners rather than being passive. In the assessment of their learning, it is proven that their proficiency in that lesson was very high.

My Reflection

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

How Mrs. Dizon presented the lesson was already been excellent for me. In my future teaching, I will also integrate technology in my discussion. With the same topic to be teach, I will do similar to her way of presenting a movie clips to motivate the students interest in the new topic. Furthermore, it will give students an idea on the new topic presented by the teacher. There will be similarity on us in providing lots and varied of group activities which still considered the students; differences and multiple intelligences. Like her, values integration will also be highlighted in my future teaching in such a way that students will not just understand the topic but will also appreciate the essence and importance of the topic in their lives.

During the assessment, the proficiency level of the students was hundred percent. Maybe, there will be minimal difference in my examination for evaluation. Instead of focusing on their knowledge skills, it will be better to, if possible to used the comprehension and analysis in the given examination. This may probably determine their deeper understanding about the topic itself.

In general, the instructional materials, the group activities provided and her way of delivering the lesson really engaged students to actively participate in the discussion.

My Portfolio

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

Television and dvd player was used to present movie clips which is related to their topics. It served as a useful aid in arousing the interest of the students and stepping stone to open new lessons in to the

Illustration of water cycle was being used by the teacher to show the students how the cycle goes. It helps a lot for the students to understand the lesson, though, the illustration is not that applicable for big classes.

Most probably, she used the common and most accessible materials which are the chalk and board. Important information was being broadened using this material.

The visual aid used was with proper visible for the class and appropriate color of the materials were used. The sequence of the cycle was being presented through this material.
