Learning, in my opinion, is a necessary, innate, continuing, and lifelong process. As a future teacher, I hope that everyone can learn and that reasonable expectations that challenge all learners are maintained. They must also be able to express their enthusiasm for learning and see all interactions as chances to teach and learn. Because the fundamental goal of assessment is to increase learning, it gives all students the opportunity to showcase what they know, value, and can accomplish. I also believe that learning is a process of making sense of the world, thus we should be concerned with understanding development and acknowledge that concepts are built and subject to question or revision. We must identify and adapt to individual variances and learning styles since learners are unique and accountable for their own learning. We, too, must show concern and understanding for each learner, as well as include and optimize the participation of students of various skills and backgrounds. Learning also requires the ability to link previous knowledge, perceptions, or patterns of experience with new experiences, information, and settings. To do so,

we must look for ways to draw on the diverse personal, social, and cultural experience, knowledge, and abilities that learners bring to new learning. Learning is improved when students are aware of how they think and learn (meta-cognition), which gives them more control over their learning. As a result, we must clearly teach thinking and learning techniques as well as model meta-cognition.

As a student and future teacher, I feel that keeping a high level of motivation in the classroom is one of the most effective strategies to speed up the learning process. While students have their own reasons for learning, we will play a critical part in assisting learners in maintaining and increasing their motivation. Students' confidence can also be boosted through innovative

instructional methods. Showing learners how the class subject matter links to their own lives and the actual world is part of creative teaching. This can assist them in gaining a stronger sense of purpose. I believe that getting to know our potential students and knowing about their backgrounds will assist us in developing the most relevant lesson plans. Tasks, in my opinion, should be tough but doable for pupils. Students believe they are not developing in their language acquisition if an assignment is not demanding enough. As a result, kids may get bored and disengaged from the instruction. Students, on the other hand, may grow frustrated if tasks are too difficult. As a future teacher, we must also establish a favorable environment that allows kids to learn more. Students' ability to learn will be hindered if they are afraid to participate in class discussions. In the classroom, I believe it is necessary to create a helpful and comfortable environment. I strive to accomplish this by encouraging students and giving them plenty of positive feedback. Instead of whole-class discussions, I attempt to

personalize every lesson topic and construct pair and group exercises. Finally, continuous reflection and review can aid in the upkeep of good teaching standards. We should be able to reflect on and analyze our own teaching techniques on a regular basis. We may feel "stuck" in our routines and less motivated to educate after working for a long time. We should strive to attend different training sessions or webinars organized by our university or the Commission on Higher Education in order to keep on track and learn about some of the latest trends in education. We can also subscribe to a number of fantastic blogs that offer a variety of inspiring lesson ideas.

The entire course focuses on learner development and environment, as well as the learning environment and psychological environment that may influence students' learning styles. A learning-friendly physical environment might be the result of a physical and psychological milieu that encourages student-to-student and teacher-to-student contact. It had a significant influence on the teaching-learning process. Every pupil is distinct and differs from the others. In Learning Episode 1, the teacher must respect and treat all pupils equally, taking into account their differences. A school that fosters a physically healthy environment is the type of school that I find most favorable to studying. Teachers would be able to better supervise, inspire, and engage their students in a learning environment. Every student needs to go to a school where they may learn in an environment that is favorable to learning. It's because there's no danger to their health or safety in doing so. As students, we all want to attend a school where we feel comfortable learning. In my opinion, a good school atmosphere is one in which rules and regulations are implemented that are

beneficial to all students. I want a school administration that pays attention to student complaints and suggestions. As a result, both the school and the kids will be able to form positive relationships with one another. A school with appropriate and clean facilities for various courses and purposes is also my view of a nice school environment. That way, students like me can experience the futuristic feeling that motivates me to enroll in such a course. “This is how it feels to work in a

laboratory,” I'd think, among other things. For me, a healthy school atmosphere is one in which 161 | P a g e

the students' health, particularly their mental health, is prioritized. According to SPARK, there

were a total of 17 suicide incidents associated to distant learning in 2020, which is quite concerning. I wish for a school that responds to kids' mental and emotional health in a way that encourages them to fight and persevere in the face of adversity, particularly during this pandemic. A nice educational environment is also helpful for the environment. It means that we must all consider different ways to employ recyclable materials that will help not only the students, but also the

school and the environment. This concept is also present in clean cafeterias and canteens. Finally, a good school environment is welcoming to the community. What I mean is that a good school that fosters positive relationships with its community, church, government, and citizens is commendable. It's because they've been able to establish a strong enough reputation to earn the trust of those in the community. I am confident that this will occur, and that I will be able to study in the school of my dreams. We must keep in mind the importance of the school atmosphere. First and foremost, we are the first to observe whether or not the school is suitable to learning. We must also remember that security is crucial so that students feel comfortable within the school, knowing that no one will harm them while they continue to learn. Because we are the ones who lead the class, children will perceive us as a role model, thus cleanliness and order should begin with us as future instructors. We should reassure pupils that it is safe to study by physically assuring them that the setting they are in is distraction-free. It could be pollution or rubbish that draws their focus

away from their studies. Both the teacher and the student should have access to clean, well162 | P a g e

maintained facilities. It's because if these facilities aren't properly maintained, they will become

obsolete. Students may not be able to learn as well as they formerly did, failing to satisfy the teachers' expectations. Finally, it is critical to fulfill students' needs, whether they are physical, psychological, or social, because we are forming a deep and healthy teacher-student relationship. We must give the impression to the learner that we are as comfortable teaching them as they are studying with us. Learning Episode 2 reminded me a lot of my past teachers and how they taught

us as I was seeing the pupils in various grade levels. As a future teacher, I've learned that we should always pay attention to our students' most visible traits so that we may build a learning atmosphere that is most appropriate for them, as well as teach or behave in a positive manner. We should not teach children based on our personal interests, but rather in a method that will benefit them the greatest and make learning enjoyable for them. In Learning Episode 3, one thing I learnt about indigenous peoples is that they do things differently than we do, but in a really beneficial way. It's similar to how we do things to give back to our parents, alma mater, and city, but indigenous people work harder to give back to their elders and origins. It was quite motivating to witness them; despite the disparities and persecution they encounter from many cultures. Their approach of expressing gratitude for their culture, identity, and roots is to study hard and serve the community that has taught them new skills. The students' and teachers' work and life objectives are what I value most from my virtual observation of a school with indigenous learners. I recall seeing a

documentary about one of the IP schools, and the teacher said, "Who else would teach these pupils 163 | P a g e

than them (teachers)?" They are deprived of financial support, food, proper clothing, transportation,

and it would be tragic if these students were also denied of knowledge of their rights, which we all know. I admire how, despite their lack of them, students strive to do their best in their daily lives to study well, finish their studies, and graduate in order to attain their goals. I also applaud the teachers who strive really hard to give them the quality education they deserve. In regards to Learning Episode 4, I recall the high and low achievers in our class back in Grade 10 from when

I was in elementary or high school. Our teacher coped with ability gaps by focusing on low performers on a regular basis. Our teachers would make them recite frequently and ask them more questions in order for them to fully comprehend the material. Our teachers would often engage in collaborative activities with students who were both high and poor achievers. As a result, high achievers can assist low achievers and give diverse perspectives on the subject. Low achievers might also ask high achievers questions or seek assistance on the subject. Our teacher was effective back then because she didn't leave any kids behind. Being approachable to my pupils is one of the dispositions and attributes I must acquire as a future teacher to satisfy the demands of the learners because I must create a good relationship with them so that they will not be afraid to approach me. I also have to put myself in the shoes of a pupil. I need to devise tactics or give things that are simple for them to comprehend. I must not give them a difficult lesson to follow. I must not have great expectations of my students, but rather must have reasonable expectations of them. With that,

it must lead to passionate instruction, and they will learn slowly but certainly. 164 | P a g e
