MY ANALYSIS
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact
learning of the students going to school? What are your conclusions?
ANSWER: The facilities of the school campus and the
classroom greatly affect the students that go to school,
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

because if the school and classroom is improper the

students will start to think not to go to school. For
example, there are schools nowadays that are very much
limiting their cost in which the number of students is not
enough to the ratio of the chairs, to the extent that some
students sat on the floor. In this sample case, I therefore
conclude that if the student is not comfortable or
satisfied of a certain school, he/she will get lazy and not
be on school, but if the student is comfortable or
satisfied with the facilities of a school he/she will be more
eager to attend school.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent
development/how does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating
learning?
ANSWER: As future educator, by these instances I will
know that there are many factors that can affect the
student to attend and not to attend school. And by
knowing such factors, I can adjust to what my students
will need.

MY REFLECTIONS
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just
observed? Why? Why not?
ANSWER: Yes. Because the school environment is very
accessible, the surroundings is very peaceful and the
staffs are very respectful.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
ANSWER: A school that is conductive to learning is a
school that has complete facilities that will surely help
and benefited by the student or learners to understand
the subject matter they are studying.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
ANSWER: A classroom that is conducive to learning is a
classroom with proper chairs, functioning electric fans for
the ease of students, all other facilities that will greatly
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

contribute for the attainment of knowledge of the

students and most especially an expert teacher by
profession and by heart.
4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?
ANSWER: For now, I will study hard so that I can be a good
teacher in the future. If I have good grades and right
experiences I have no doubts that I can accomplish to
become a compassionate teacher by mind, heart and
soul.

- Elementary students
are much disciplined
than pre-schoolers, they
listen very well to the

- Elementary students
are more independent
than pre-schoolers the

MY REFLECTIONS
1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own
experiences when you were their age? What similarities or
differences do you have with the learners you observed?
ANSWER: Yes. As I observed the learners I recall my
elementary days. The practice exercises, recitations and
board works. In my own experience, our similarities just
like them Im fond of answering in class recitations, for
me class participation is very much important to test
myself if I really understand what our teacher taught us.
On the other hand, our differences are that I have this
attitude that if I already understand the lesson I will not
listen anymore to my teacher but instead I will have my
own discussion with my seatmates. Unlike the students I
observed up to the last minute of the class they still
listen very eagerly to their teacher.
2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative
reasons. How did she/he help or not help you with your needs
(physical, emotional, social, and cognitive)? How did it affect
you?

Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

ANSWER: The teacher I cannot forget is Mrs. Marilyn U.

Eslit for she is a very popular teacher in my Alma Mater.
She is known to be very strict, but very excellent in
teaching; shes also known to give so many handwritten
outlines as a requirement for her to pass her subject. I
remembered she is fond of recitations and she calls us in
random, thats why before attending class all of us make
it sure that we reviewed the past lessons and make
advanced reading on the next lesson because we dont
want her to get mad at us because we are too scared
about what might happen. But as time pass by, I
discovered that beyond her strict face and strong
personality is a very loving and caring heart for her
students. And now as I think of her, I also wanted to give
credit to her requisite outlines because that helped me a
lot academically and emotionally.
3. Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this
guide you as a future teacher?

(behavior strategies)

OBSERVATION
As I observed the classroom I noticed the different areas in the
classroom for storage, like the cabinets containing the different
laboratory apparatus for science experiments. There are also shelves
containing their different educational activities. The learning aids or
materials are placed on the teacher's table then to be posted in the
blackboards.
There are rules and regulations posted in their classroom such as
no bullying and here they have the policy of honesty. Of course the
students participated in making their home room rules because they
are the one involved with this practice. The daily routines are: the class
starts with a prayer then continues with the checking of attendance
done by the homeroom teacher, the class discussion and when the
classes end they end it with a prayer also. The seating arrangement is
in the basis of alternation (boy, girl) process. The reason for this
arrangement is that the students will be able to socialize well and
orderly to the opposite sex. The noise level of the classroom is on its
peak. The reason why is because the students are in their stage of age
or in the level of exploration and expressing publicly their ideas that's
why they may be a bit noisy.
This noise level is managed by the teacher by talking to the
students. If a learner does not follow instructions given to him or her
teacher provides a disciplinary action and after the teacher asks nicely
why he or she did not follow and will make the students realize that
they should follow. The teacher do to reinforce positive behavior is by
talking nicely to the students and being a good role model to them.

MY ANALYSIS
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the
learners' behavior?
Answer: The classroom organization and routines affect
the learners' behavior by knowing their limitations. The
minds of the students are set that they rules to be
followed because of this they will practice their proper
attitude and act politely.
2. What should the teacher have in mind when he/she designs the
classroom organization and routines? What theories and
principles should you have in mind?
Answer: The teacher should have in mind that he or she
mingles with students so that he or she will be more
careful while making the set of routines, they should
make it to a point that the students are oriented and they
participate while making the rules. And also the teacher
should prepare ice breakers so that the students will not
get bore and will retain the interest in studying.
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the
behavior of the learners? In motivating students? Why were they
effective?
Answer: Behavior strategies effective in managing the
behavior of the learners are by doing positive
reinforcement.
The
teacher
should
play
the
characteristics of being caring and should motivate the
learners to pursue their efforts in their study by giving
rewards or incentives if the student performs excellence
in class whether academically or non-academically by
doing this. The students will strive hard, will actively
participate and will perform very well.

MY REFLECTIONS
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what
grade/year level do you see yourself? What routines and
procedures would you consider for this level? Why?
ANSWER: As I imagine myself organizing my classroom in
the future, I see that I will be handling Grade 7 students.
If I want to handle Grade 7 students I will do routines or
procedures that will surely suit their age range. For
example when the class starts I will teach them to pray
first before anything else, I would also imply that there
would be story telling session so I can get their interest
and slowly going to the subject matter in a way that they
will not feel hazard but instead they will enjoy. I could
also conduct ice breakers, a little dance step and singing
a song to stimulate the energy of the students. And I will
also provide few minutes for rest. Rest minutes will help
them to regain their energy.
2. Make a list of the rules are likely to implement in this level. Why
would you choose these rules?
Rules:
Uniform of the students should be worn properly.
School I.D. should always be present.
Boys should observe proper haircut.
Boys and Girls should observe proper hygiene all the times.

Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

 The students should raise their hands if they want to say

something.
ANSWER: I choose these set of rules so that the students
will observe cleanliness, and being orderly so that the
students will be able to be responsible of their own
being. I would also like to promote unity inside the
classroom and good relationship between myself and the
students.
3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
ANSWER: Yes. For the main reason that they will be the
one who will benefited and will follow these set of rules.
And they should also be aware of these rules so that they
will know their limitations.

OBSERVATION REPORT

MY ANALYSIS
1. Identify the persons who play key roles in the relationships and
interactions in the classrooms. What roles do they play? Is there
somebody who appears to be the leader, a mascot/joker, an
attention seeker, a little teacher, a doubter/pessimist?
ANSWER: The main persons who play key roles in the
classroom is the teacher himself or herself and of course
the learners. The teacher plays the role of a facilitator he
or she guides and facilitates the learner when doing their
perspective works. There are students who plays to be a
class leader, she is the one whom facilitates and control
the noise level and regulates her classmates when the
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

teacher is not around. There are a lot of jokers in the

class they usually balance the class and make a light
atmosphere when the class gets too boring, they usually
crack jokes to make the class happy. There is also an
attention seeker in the class, he will surely get the
attention of the teacher by doing different acts and some
of this act is not good but still he will do it just to get
attention.There are also little teachers in the class, they
teach their other classmates when some of them didnt
understand the lesson, these students are very caring
and have the heart to help others.
2. Are the students coming from the minority group accepted or
rejected by the others? How is this shown?
ANSWER: Yes. This is shown by making them feel that they
belong to the group even though they belong to a
different minority group. Their other classmates make
them join to their group to let them feel that they are
united.
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering
the individual differences of the students?
ANSWER: The teacher influence greatly in the individual
differences of the students by not having biases. The
teacher should treat his or her students equally so that
the students will feel that they are all the same in the
eyes of the teacher.

4. What factors influence the grouping of learners outside the

classroom?
ANSWER: I think the factors that influence the grouping of
learners outside the classroom is their common interests.
Because as an individual you will go with the group that
youll feel the sense of belongingness and where you can
share your likes and dislikes because as you join a certain
group this will reflect who you are. And if thats the case
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

you will be going to the group that will surely suit your
personality and attitude.

MY REFLECTIONS
1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of
oneness or unity among the learners and between the teacher
and the learners?
ANSWER: When Im in the classroom, I already feel that
Im already a teacher. I also feel the sense of oneness and
unity among the learners because I can see their
eagerness to strive hard so that they can learn a certain
topic. And also the unity among the teacher and the
learners because unity implies uniformity and harmony
and the class I visited portray this characteristic.
2. In the future, how would you want the learners in your classroom
to interact? How will you make this happen?
ANSWER: In the future, I want my students to interact in a
way that they will feel no tension at all. I want them to
express freely what they feel but in a manner that they
will not offend their other classmates. I will make this
happen by briefing them and by letting they know the
essence of harmony in the classroom and making them
realize that we will all benefit if we practice this type of
interaction.

MY ANALYSIS
1. Did your observation match the information given by the
teacher? Were you able to correctly identify who among the
students performed well and who did not? What behavior helped
you identify them? (Volunteering to answer, responding to
teacher's directions, etc.)
ANSWER: Yes of course my observation matched the
information given by the teacher. I certainly identified
those pupils who performed well and not so actively
performing well. The behavior helped me identify the well
performing pupils is that they are very fond of raising
their hands when the teacher asks them several
questions about the subject matter, and I be able to
identify those pupils who are not so good in class by
means of when the teacher asks them a particular
question they wouldn't be able to answer the question
and often when the teacher asks them they just remain
quiet.
2. Describe the differences in ability levels of the students in the
class. Is there a wide gap between the students who are
performing well and those that are not?
ANSWER: Those students who perform well in the class
have the ability to easily understand and cope up with
the lesson while those students who performed not so
well takes a longer time for them to understand the
lesson. Theres a gap but it is not wide enough, because
as said it only takes time for some students to
understand the subject matter but on the bottom line
they still can cope and join as others are doing.
3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the
students' differences in abilities. How did the students respond to
the teacher? Did the teacher use differentiated instruction? If
yes, describe how.
Answer: Yes. The methods used by the teacher in class in
handling her students whether high or low achiever is
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

very fair. She addresses the class as a whole and not by

making her students think that there is a huge barrier
among those students who performed well than those
who are not.

1.
2.MY REFLECTIONS
1. Recall the time when you were in the elementary or high school.
Recall the high and low achievers in your class. How did your
teacher deal with differences in abilities? Was your teacher
effective?
ANSWER: When I was in elementary my teacher used to
treat us fairly. She is very effective and approachable
because she helped on the things that maybe difficult
and hard for us. For instance when a lot of us didn't catch
up a certain topic she discussed she would gladly repeat
it all over again just to make us understand the
discussion. She also cites more examples for us to master
the topic. She is not a quitter which is very admirable for
a teacher she will not stop unless all of the class
understands the topic.

MY LEARNONG PORTFOLIO
With the principle of individual differences in mind, what
methods and strategies will you remember in the future to ensure that
you will be able to meet the needs of both the high and low achievers
in your class? Make a collection of strategies on how to address the
students different ability levels.
ANSWER: In the future, as I will be teaching the next
generation, I will never forget this desire of letting the
students understand all of the lessons. It is not enough if
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

only some can fully understand it. It must be the class as

a whole because all of them deserve equal right and
treatment.

Educational Attainment:

Physical Development
Tristan has a fair complexion, he is slightly thin but his height is just
appropriate to his age. Plus he is a very good looking boy. The child is
healthy and don't have serious illness.
Social Development
He is sociable enough because he goes out and mingles with his
friends. He is also a sweet child to his mother and siblings.
Emotional-Moral Development
Emotionally he is quite well. He is a little bit shy of expressing what
he wants, feelings and ideas. Maybe it is right if he is faced into
others so that he can communicate with them more often and to
remove his shyness.

On cognitive development he is good. He exerts efforts in academics
and strives hard to understand the subjects and lessons.

Findings

well.

physically, emotionally, morally and cognitive aspects are that is a
good background and rising up of families.

Recommendations
I would strongly recommend to the family to help their son interact
with other individual so that he would overcome his shyness.

MY ANALYSIS
1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the
style of parenting experienced by the learner? Explain your
answer.
ANSWER: In my own view, I think that the type of
parenting her mother id conducting is more on
authoritarian because it is the mother that decides and
what should be done in behalf of the father. That's why it
is just appropriate if she is more of an authoritarian.
2. Relating your data with what you learned from child
development, what family factors do you think contribute to the
development and over-all adjustment of the learner in school?
ANSWER: His parents are a factor that greatly contributes
to the development of the child. In all over adjustment he
is coping with it may be the reason is the proper
guidance of his mother and the support of his siblings.
3. Does the communication between the home-school have an
effect on the learner? If yes, what are these effects?
ANSWER: Of course it has. As we know our parents are our
first teacher that is why if they taught us very well we
will be able to cope up to the outside world we will be
dealing with. Because, if we are not taught properly at
Field Study 1 The Learners Development and Environment

Page

home we will not be able to understand the essence of

everything.

MY REFLECTIONS
1. As a future teacher, how would you establish good-home school
collaboration? How can you work well with the parents? How can
you help them? How can they help you?
ANSWER: As a future teacher, I will establish good homeschool collaboration by ensuring that my students will
apply what they learned in the school to their homes,
that my students will feel that school is their second
home, and parents are connected to the school so
whether there are problems with their child, they can
immediately respond to guide and assist their child. I can
work well with the parents by having a meeting wherein
we will discuss some matters about the needs of the
school, problems, behaviors, and performance of their
child in school. By those, I can help them to know
whether their child needs guidance or something. All I
want to the parents is to monitor their child not just in
their school performance but also their etiquettes and
behaviors in their home. Teachers and parents must unite
and cooperate in terms of the childs schooling. They
should be updated of the childs god and wrong
behaviors. If these will all be realized, then we will not
have problem/trouble in dealing with the learner/child.
