this Episode.

Notice

After you participated or assisted in using resources/materials in using resources/instructional

materials in teaching-learning, describe what you observe and experienced by answering the
items below.

1. How did you prepare for this activity?

I prepare in the activity by taking down all the necessary information to understand all
the about conventional resources.

The utilization of instructional tools is essential because they help the teacher and the
students avoid the overemphasis on memorization and recitation that may easily take
over a lesson. Students can use reference materials to get real-world experience that
will help them develop their concepts and skills and work in a variety of ways.

Prior activity planning reduces errors, prevents rework, and accelerates the
process. Meetings that are well-prepared run much more efficiently. Reduce Your Stress
- When you are prepared, you are confident. When you are ready, you'll feel less
anxious since you have less things to worry about.

2. Describe how you or the teacher utilized the resource/instructional materials. Narrate
your experience as you participated and assisted.
The resource teacher emphasizes to her students the need of being responsible
in completing assignments, activities, and projects on time. through the use of Power
Point Presentation the teacher create her learning resources. she was able to do it
because of her hard work and perseverance.
We take into account the status of the pupils, particularly in light of the pandemic;
not all kids have the means to access education. We therefore ensure that educational
resources—both online and offline—are efficient for students wherever they can access
them.

3. What were your feelings and thoughts while you were assisting with the use of the
resources/materials?
These are my thoughts and feelings as I assist in the use of resources and tools.
I had a confident, knowledgeable feeling. Considering that these tools and resources will
support me in my endeavors to serve. It will act as a reference for me and give me
suggestions on how to train my students. Then, it was easy for me to instruct. This will
make it easier for my students to comprehend what they are being taught because the
materials and resources are readily available to them.
 Every time the resource teacher asked me to assist her, I was overjoyed, it will
serve as stepping stone or training ground for me to become better teacher I the future.

4. Describe how the students responded and participated.

Some students completed their assignments and participated while others were
unable to finish their assignments on time.

Analyze

What worked well during the activity using the resources/material?

The utilization of the resource material went well in the presentation of the
lesson. We all know that when presenting your lesson, it should be done systematically
so that the audience won’t be confuse of the content. While delivering the lesson using
the resources/material the lesson where clear.

What part can be improved?

The process of choosing the best educational resources. Use of materials that
are congruent with learning outcomes and are both respectable and effective is
essential. selecting the most crucial resources because having too many could cause
students to become distracted and lose focus.

What would you have done differently? What would I change? What will make it better
next time?
I'll make sure my reference materials are best and beneficial. The way we teach
is fast changing. I will therefore conduct my research for my materials using multimedia
and other useful tools.
The discussion will become more lively and thorough if the energy produced by
voice, voice modulation, and humor integration is utilized the following time

How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using instructional
materials?
I was not aware of the significance of learning materials in achieving learning
objectives prior to entering the sector. I've lately realized that there are a lot of things to
take into account when choosing educational resources for students, all of which need to
be connected and matched with your learning objectives. Additionally, we must take into
account the needs and learning preferences of the students and provide tools that are
easy to understand and use.

Reflect
1. How ready am I in selecting and developing resources/instructional materials in the
teaching-learning process?
I am confident that the materials I have produced will satisfy my pupils' needs. I
am aware of how important it is to use trustworthy sources for factual information and to
create products that are appealing to and engaging to children. I am aware that it is
essential to prepare ahead in order to have efficient teaching tools that will support
students' development and enable them to retain, integrate, and apply what they have
learned.
Being well-prepared is always preferable. Choosing the right reference material
is essential. It increases the interest in the lessons. Making learning simpler and
enabling teachers to communicate subjects clearly As far as I know, I was prepared for
it.

2. What do I need to learn to select and develop resources/ materials in teaching

effectively?
 Affordability
 Sustainability
 Aspirations for students
 The setting in the classroom
 Spending limits
 Materials clear and accessible

3. What can I do to learn more about and practice the use of resources and instructional
materials?
The main content that students will come across, comprehend, and apply during
a course is provided by the instructional materials. They can either inspire or demotivate
students. This is particularly true for online courses, which depend on a carefully
thought-out and extensive collection of educational materials that students may access,
examine, absorb, and refer to as they move through the course.
As a result, for maximum benefit, such resources must be properly organized,
chosen, produced, and utilised in a course. To improve student learning, instructional
materials should be created and chosen with both breadth and depth of knowledge in
mind.
The following sections cover the four main categories of criteria that teachers
employ when selecting instructional materials: accuracy and visual appeal, alignment to
standards and depth of knowledge, simplicity of use and support, and engagement and
capacity to meet student needs.

Write Action Research Prompts

This part allows you to synthesize or put together what you noticed, analyzed and reflected
on to come up with a possible topic to explore for an action research.

 On what theories/principles can this problem be anchored?

The concept that a child’s environment influences his or her learning and
behavior is known as Environmentalist Learning Theory.
Environmentalist learning theory is the understanding that the child’s
environment shapes learning and behavior. It is also thought that behavior and learning
are reactions to the environment. This perspective encourages families, schools, and
educators to understand the child develops and learns new skills in reaction to items she
finds around her.

3. What do I hope to achieve to address the challenge/area of improvement? What change

do I want to achieve?
 All of the tools and resources I'll be using in class, I'm hoping, will be beneficial.
The holes created by other learning materials should be filled in by the resources and
instructional tools. Getting resources is difficult due to the lack of both products and
money. Effective teaching does not end with giving students the right instructions.
Making the teaching-learning environment productive and entertaining also requires
selecting the appropriate instructional tools and materials based on the needs of the
students.
I expect to solve the issue by requesting that the government aid in the growth of
schools and the provision of adequate learning tools. For time being, I’d like to make the
best of what I have for now.

 EPISODE 16: ASSESSING FOR, AS AND OF LEARNING

Participate and Assist

(Note to Student Teacher: As you participate and assist in your CT in doing formative
assessment and in helping students engage in self-assessment, please take note of what
you are expected to give more attention to as asked in the next step of this learning episode
(NOTICE).

1. Assist your CT in the conduct of formative assessment.

2. Offer you assistance to students to engage in self-assessment through your CT.

Notice
1. Take notice of:
 The alignment of the different formative assessment tasks used with the learning
outcomes.
 The students’ participation, behavioral response, comments in the formative assessment
tasks.
 How the students assess their own progress.
 Our own feelings and thoughts as you assisted your CT:
- Formulate the formative assessment tasks.
- Administer formative assessment tasks.

Analyze
 Did the formative assessment tasks help students master what they are expected to
learn?
Formative assessment's role is to provide the teacher with the knowledge on
identifying the strengths and weaknesses of his or her learners in order to improve
their learning. Formative assessment does not only play as a means of measuring
whether students have truly learned from the discussion, but rather it is used to
emphasize where the teacher is going to assist or whether improve students learning
in a certain area (topic or objective). In order to increase teacher education and
student learning, formative assessment is used to switch to the technique that best
suits the learner.

 Was students’ response to formative assessment exercises favorable or

unfavorable? Why?
It is favorable because formative assessment identifies students' strengths and
shortcomings, assesses their level of understanding and comprehension, and
determines where learning and evaluation need to improve.

 Did the conduct of formative assessment and self-assessment affect students’

attainment of learning outcomes? How?
 It is so that changes can be made to lessons, instructional strategies, and
academic support as needed. Formative assessments help teachers identify ideas
that students are having trouble understanding, skills they are having trouble
learning, or learning standards they have not yet attained. Thus, effective formative
assessment use enhances student engagement in learning and exam performance.
According to a comparable study, pupils who self-regulate their learning obtain much
higher grades than those who do not.

 What was the effect of students assessing their own progress on their motivation to
learn?
Self-evaluation can help students acquire critical thinking skills for analyzing their
own work, which will improve their learning and academic achievement. It can also
increase their interest in and motivation for their classes. Self-evaluation might reveal
information about students.

Reflect

How would attainment of learning outcomes be affected if there were no formative

assessment nor self-assessment?

Formative assessment is useful for gathering data that may be used as feedback to
improve student performance, but it may also be a crucial element of effective instruction on
a regular basis. However, as both formative and self-assessment are crucial to a learner's
development, their absence will make it more difficult for students to complete their
coursework. The learners' development and the learning outcomes themselves would suffer
severely without a competent appraisal of the learners' needs and the instruction to be
carried out.

OBSERVE

1.One thing that went well in the development/use/administration of formative

assessment tasks (assessment of learning) is
It produces better, more knowledgeable people. One feature has been
The reason why the development, use, and administration of formative assessment has
been successful is that it enables teachers to evaluate where their students are in the
learning process and quickly identify academic growth and accomplishment of students
who are having difficulty in a particular subject. This enables the teacher to change their
instructional methods and style to help students stay on track.

2. One thing that did not go very well in the development/use/administration of formative
assessment tasks (assessment FOR learning) is
There were none for me because of the formative evaluation tasks.
 The teacher's self-evaluation results in one of the most unique ways to evaluate her
students, so the procedure went well. Because the teacher supervised the students' self-
evaluation as well as how they rated themselves, it was successful.

3. One good thing observe in students’ self-assessment (assessment AS learning) is

This activity in self-evaluation was intended to help me write better. Everything
centered on education. And it's obvious that the pupils improved their work after making
mistakes. Self-analysis is a powerful tool for provoking in-depth reflection.
Students actively participate in their own growth. As part of standard classroom
procedures, some students demonstrate self-evaluation. They also take inspiration from
a learning philosophy that emphasizes assisting them in learning more and improving as
students rather than just focusing on obtaining a higher grade. includes formal and
informal evaluation actions that have an impact on future learning planning as part of the
learning process.

4. One thing in students’ self-assessment (assessment AS learning) that needs

improvement based on what were observed is
The most important thing is to teach kids how to use a variety of self-evaluation
methods. Students will become more aware of their own strengths and weaknesses as a
result. One strategy is to provide students a visual organizer, such a "Self-Assessment
Checklist," which they can use to record their thoughts after completing an assignment.

Reflect
The formative assessment activities went well because
The pupil had great versatility and emotional intelligence.
toward their educational endeavors. Every time students encountered a challenge in
their session, they were encouraged and given the chance for clarification and improved
comprehension of the subject.

The formative assessment activities process did not go well because

The formative assessment went nicely, just like how I answered question one.
You can see that the students are mature enough to follow instructions and complete the
assessment without causing internal misunderstandings.

For the students, self-assessment worked because

I spoke with them and they appeared to comprehend the subject clearly since
It is now much easier for students to analyze the material because of the teacher's
extensive use of examples.

For the students, self-assessment did not worked because

In fact, no one gave a poor response to their evaluation. They exchanged
all the beneficial lessons kids pick up, expecting that this will go on.
 ACT
To ensure that formative and self-assessment processes serve their purpose, to help
students learn, I will learn from other’s best practices by researching on
Providing students with the opportunity to assess their own development
motivates them to become more learning-focused on their own. The learning objectives
must be very obvious to teachers, and they must make sure that our pupils are doing the
same. Learning involves more than just learning facts; it also involves learning
organization, retrieval, and application. There are numerous strategies and tools
available to encourage pupils to self-evaluate. Students are required to reflect on their
performance and provide evidence of their growth and completion against success
criteria, for example, in learning diaries, portfolios, and conferences.
