cHAPTER 6 - ENSURING
1. When you become a professional teacher, how can you enhance the state of
quality of teachers in the Philippines.
I must learn and master all of these domains and competences of the PPST that
targets us to be better teachers in the country by developing our qualifications,
skills and our levels of knowledge practice and professional engagement. In
order to become a successful educator in the 21st century, we need these seven
domains. I need to take part in various PPST events, including workshops on
module creation and the development of implementation guidelines.
2. After studying the different domains and competencies of the PPST, which
domain do you find easy to master? Why? Which domain seems to be difficult for
you to master?
I personally find Student’s diversity hard to master because I don’t have
experience yet. And I think it will take years of experience to master this PPST
domain. I think I need to have experience in teaching to master strategizing my
teaching methods that address learners’ differences in gender, needs, strengths,
interest and experience. I need to think of ways to avoid students perceive that
they do not belong in the classroom setting – a feeling that can lead to decreased
participation, feeling of inadequacy and other distractions.
I personally find Content Knowledge and Pedagogy easy to master. Since I spent
5 years in my Engineering Course, I had witnessed different teaching strategies
that teachers used to teach math to us. I had a picture on my find on how am I
going to establish teaching methods and strategies in teaching mathematics to
my students. And since I am a techy person, I am well versed using ICT so it’s
not that hard for me to execute it to display meaningful content on my classroom.
