•LEARNING EPISODE 4 • LEARNING EPISODE 4 • LEARNING EPISODE 4 • LEARNING EPISODE 4 •

MY LEARNING EPISODE OVERVIEW This episode illustrates the diversity of my learners. This will give me the chance to acquaint myself with needs, interests and abilities of my learners. Being aware of these features will equip me with greater knowledge and understanding to ensure the quality instruction.

MY TARGETS (LEARNING OUTCOMES) At the end of this activity, I will be able to:  describe the learners in my respective grade level and subject  use various sources to know my students better  establish consistent standards of learner’s behavior  prepare rules for my learners to follow  utilize techniques to suit my learner’s needs  articulate insights, reflections about learners

MY MAP (LEARNING EPISODE DIRECTIONS) These are the things I need to do.

ACCEPT AND APPRECIATE EACH CHILD'S UNIQUENESS.

MY BIG IDEAS (LEARNING ESSENTIALS) As a student intern, I must be fully aware that:  each individual is unique.  students vary in learning styles.  students learn through different modalities.  the learning environment must be safe, secured, friendly, nonthreatening and must treat students with fairness.

MY TASK (ACTIVITIES) A. Observe your learners on your first day of internship. What are your observations? In my observation in Grade 7 – Earth:  They are quiet.  They are really excited to learn.  They are friendly who are willing to carry my entire luggage.  They are inquisitive. B. Create an opportunity where you can gather their thoughts, ideas and feelings about their school / subject / classmates. ABOUT THEIR SCHOOL Grade 7 - Earth  “The school of hope.” –Gilliane Dayne Taylor  “A child friendly school.” –Reven Smille Palomo  “The school of the dreamers.” –Thea Faith Hare ABOUT THEIR SUBJECT Grade 7 - Earth  “Sana hindi nakakaantok.” –Rona Mae Padernal  “Sana huwag kabahan si Sir.” –Philline Isaran  “Sana marami kaming matutunan.” –Adrian Gaspar ABOUT THEIR CLASSMATES Grade 7 - Earth  “Maging magalang sa aming guro.” –Renzhel Jan Fuentes  “Hindi kami mang-aaway sa kanila.” –Jamrel Paul Balbino  “Hindi magche-cheat.” –Llana Hintana

C. What are the rules I need to set to ensure quality instruction among my learners? Use innovative ways to make your rules known and followed. 1. SETTLE AND FORGET – I should settle all the negative things that happened in the room, and then forget it. I should not let negativisms ruin my new day. 2. LISTEN – I should always listen to the side of my students. No matter how worst will happen, I should always lend my ears to their explanations. 3. KNOW MY LEARNERS – I should know their religions and family backgrounds for the sake of propriety. Teaching Araling Panlipunan may sometimes insult some of your students. Example, you give an example about your topic which negate the belief of the religion of your students. 4. PREPARE ICE BRAKERS – In some cases, the class may get boring. I should prepare activities that will able to wake their attention. 5. INJECT SOME JOKES and TRENDY PHRASES – Students nowadays were updated with trends. “Walang forever, pak ganern and many more.” I think it is ideal to sometimes give this punches. In minimal points of course.

MY ANALYSIS (LEARNING EPISODE DIRECTIONS) Why do I need to know the various types of the learners? Every students has different personality, in short, they have individual differences. I need to know the various types of the learners so that I will be able to assess myself what are the best methodologies and strategies of teaching suits to every individual. Teaching is one of the crucial things wherein you will able to dig deeper your students’ background, what things are they doing at home and what is the status of their family. In one of the cases, I have these students who are hard-headed wherein after you have reprimanded them for playing “rolling” (rolling is a kind of gambling which involves coins being rolled in the floor) inside the room they will temporarily stop and after 10 minutes they will return again to the game. Later, I have found out their backgrounds—that some of them do not have parents in their homes. Knowing various types of learners impel you to understand them all the time. Because the school for them is not just an institution for education, it is also a place where they gain attention which they do not experience at home.

MY REFLECTION / MY INSIGHTS AS A TEACHER, HOW WILL YOU RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF YOUR DIVERSE LEARNERS? It is said that nothing is fair in this world. I hold subjects in higher sections, and so with the lowest section. There is a big difference with these two— attitudes, mental capacity. But what makes them the same? They all know that the school is an institution for systematic learning. To respond to the very diverse learners, I make sure that everyone learns. I put emphasis to knowledge, skill and values to both of these sections. But I put more emphasis to knowledge and skills in higher sections. And so, I put more emphasis to values and skills in lowest section.
