FS2 Module 1
I. Course Description:
This course is a continuation of Field Study 1.It is school based and allows a pre-
service student to participate and assist in a limited actual teaching-learning activities
that relate to assessment of learning, preparation of instructional materials, preparation
of bulletin boards, and other routines in the classroom. A portfolio which will contain
sample lesson or learning plans and demonstration teaching of at least one subject
content area will be required. An action research shall be encouraged to start this
course and conclude during the internship.
II. Course Content
Unit 0: Course Orientation and the Institutional Vision, Mission, Core, Values, and
Outcomes
Overview
Module 1 begins with setting the course direction. This orients the students on
what the course is all about in terms of alignment to the school’s vision, mission,
graduate attributes, and core values. Moreover, it also orients the students on the
program outcomes that are common to all types of school, common to the discipline
(teacher education), specific to their particular sub-discipline and major and the
performance indicators, and the expected outcomes of this course.
Furthermore, this module deals with activities that enable the students to gain
experience in choosing instructional materials. The activities that are included in this
module will build the students’ competency in choosing instructional materials that meet
the needs of the learners.
Introduction
Higher education institutions (HEI) in the Philippines are mandated to contribute
to building a quality nation capable of transcending the social, political, economic,
cultural and ethical issues that constrain the country’s human development, productivity
and global competitiveness (CMO No. 46, s. 2012). This means that all HEIs must
ensure the quality of education they provide to the students as they will be the country’s
human resource in the future. Ensuring the quality of education does not only refer to
the competencies of the teachers of an institution but as well as the content knowledge,
skills, and values they teach and imbibe among the students. CHED mandates HEIs to
produce graduates with attributes unique to the school where they graduated from. This
is clearly emphasized in Article II section 6 of CMO No. 46, series of 2012, which
defines quality as “the alignment and consistency of the learning environment with the
institution’s vision, mission, and goals demonstrated by exceptional learning and service
outcomes and the development of a culture of quality.” Withal, all the things that the
students should learn from the institution must be clearly embedded in the curriculum.
Along this line, a Field Study course is an experiential learning subject that
provides students a venue to acquire experiences by working with real world activities
3
and challenges. The student teachers have to face real life settings in the teaching and
learning process wherein the learned theories, principles, techniques, methods and
strategies are brought to life (Romo & Rafanan, 2019).
In this module, the pre-service students are given tasks that enable them to
participate and assist in a limited actual teaching-learning activities relating to
assessment of learning, preparation of instructional materials, preparation of bulletin
boards, and other routines in the classroom.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this module, the students must be able to:
1. Review the program outcomes (common to all types of school, common to the
teacher education discipline, specific to a sub-discipline and major), KCC vision,
mission, and core values.
2. Explain how are these outcomes are realized in order to produce graduates with
character, knowledge and skills.
3. Search for appropriate and effective instructional materials.
4. Prepare instructional materials to support teaching and learning engagement.
5. Assist in making creative and interactive bulletin boards and learning stations displays.
6. Assist in assessing learning performance.
7. Discuss how learners’ performance are recorded and reported.

Education resources plays a vital role in the teaching and learning process.
These are used by the teachers to ensure and improve teaching and learning. Effective
use of materials can assure teachers for an active and productive learning and
assessment.
In line with this, the instructional materials used in K – 12 classes provide the basis for
what students can learn and what teachers should teach. The process used to select
those materials is critical to providing students and teachers with a solid foundation for
achievement and successful teaching (“Selecting Instructional materials” Retrieved:

Experiential Tasks
As face-to-face classes have already started, one of the things that your Cooperating
Teacher (CT) needs assistance from you is your skill in searching for instructional
materials. Your CT will give you a list of instructional materials he/she needs in a
particular lesson. You may be requested to search for information or prepare a Power
Point presentation for instructional materials generated from the Internet.
To have an idea on the instructional materials used by the teacher in the face-to-
face set-up, you need to interview your CT in the Elementary or High School
Department. Then do the following:
11
2. Make a checklist of the sources where you can get these instructional
materials for the subjects that you have chosen (based on the learning plan you have
acquired).
Parts of Speech
The following are the purposes of the utilization of the instructional materials:
Check whether the instructional materials you have selected adhere to the
following principles.
Principle Yes No
Principle of Appropriateness (appropriate to the intended learning
objectives and level of the learners).
Principle of Authenticity (present, accurate, up to date, and
dependable information).
Principle of Cost (economical and easy to manipulate).
Principle of Interest (power to encourage creativity and imaginative
response among the learners).
Principle of Organization and Balance (clarity and in accordance
with the principles of learning such as reinforcement or transfer).
In searching and preparing the instructional materials, fill out the table below to
serve as your guide.
Guided by the learning objectives of the subject matter you have chosen from the
learning plan, make a list of resources for the CT or the RT from whom you got your
learning plan with a list of resources that you have searched.
Reflection: How can teaching a certain lesson be better because the teacher uses
appropriate instructional materials?

The 21st century students are considered to be highly visual and manipulative
learners. They learn best through direct learning experiences of the teaching-learning
process. They find the learning experiences meaningful if they are supplemented with
instructional materials for all their class activities (Brawner & Caubic, 2019).
Experiential Tasks
Confer with your CT or RT on the materials he/she uses that you could prepare.
Identify the types of print materials and audio-visual media needed for various purposes
in the classroom.
2. Chalkboard/ Boardwork
6. Television
7. Technology-driven (websites,
YouTube, etc.)
16
Ask suggestions from your CT or RT what assistance he/she needs from you
during the actual use of instructional materials.
Make sure that the materials for instruction are ready. Assist your CT according
to his/her instruction. List other activities that your CT or RT may need assistance in
utilizing instructional materials.

Another way of assisting teachers is using your own creativity in making effective
and powerful bulletin boards and learning stations display. Ask your CT or RT how you
can assist him/her. Bear in mind the importance of bulletin boards and learning stations
display (Brawner & Caubic, 2019).
Experiential Tasks
1. Preparing the materials needed in making bulletin boards and learning stations
display.
2. Identifying appropriate instructional materials for bulletin boards and learning stations
according to purpose.
3. Determining the guidelines in structuring bulletin boards and learning station displays.
4. Making a layout of bulletin board and/or learning station display.
5. Presenting the final output of your bulletin board and/or learning station display.
Inquire from your CT or RT what kind of bulletin board and/or learning station
display he/she finds appropriate in the current setting. Then make a tentative design.
Lastly, make a list of the materials you need to do this.
