TEACHING
METHODS
MaamElvie is the class adviser of Grade 1 SSES. As long as I observed her, MaamElvie using Student Centered approachment to teach her students. The students were so active and it built their critical thinking as the output that’s expected in curriculum K to 12.
For your information, she’s using tagalog language in teaching all the subjects, except for mathematics, science, and English she used English language.
For learning activity, maamelvie was using these strategies, they’re :
a Preparation
(Initiation)
In
this stage, the first things that she did was greeting her students with
enthusiasm. Then,she led them to pray, showed the video and asked the students
to dance while singing, checking students’ attendance, drilling activity like
using the flashcards/pictures/video to gain the students’attention, did a
pre-task as the review from the last topic that they’d learnt before and last,
she gave an activity or asking some question as the motivation. It used to make
sure her students were ready to study a new lesson.
Development
activities (Main activity)
She
was delivering the topic first to the students by showing the power point
(presentation). After that, she asked some critical questions to the students’.
Many students raised their hands up. If the students can answer it correctly,
she/he will get a point. But if the students answer it wrongly, she would just
repeat again the question and choose other students.
For
the activities, she used a group discussion so the students can interact each
other. Beside that she developed the students’ skill with the interactive
method like role playing so the students’ were focused to her.
I like the way she delivered the topic. She used a good intonation, giving a pressure to clear the sentence, and she often did a repetation to make sure her student understood about the topic. And then, she always paid attention to what the students’ did in the class so the students wouldn’t dare to do something out of the lesson.
Closure
She
let the students to ask questions if they had not understood yet. After that,
asked the students to conclude the topic that’s been discussed. Then to assess
her students, she gave a test (quiz). It’s just included 3-5 questions.
LEARNING MATERIALS AND
INNOVATION
MaamElvie
tend to use a power-point slides than use the book. But sometimes she used the
guide book in specific condition, like she ever asked the students to copy the
passage from the guide book and write it on their note book; to train them in
writing. Because of that, all the students are able to write eventhough they’re
still in grade 1 and I could say their hand writing is good enough.
MaamElvie made the power point by her self. Her power point is so interactive and colorfull as you can see from the picture below:
Besides
power point and book, she tend to use other materials such us flashcard, manila
cartoon, pictures, etc. There’s a special space inside the class to put all
material.
So
If she wanted to use it, she just takes from that place. Fyi, the students
often to play with the materials there
SOURCE OF LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY
AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT
The
teacher monitor her students by giving written assessment. Its to test if they
understand the lesson for the day. Then, the teacher record their scores from
file folder;Each students have a portfolio ( file folder ) to put their
assignments.
Besides that, the teacher gives a weekly test, unit test, and periodical test to assess the students. A weekly test is held every Friday. After the test paper is being checked and recorded, the teacher will ask the students to show it to their parents and ask them to sign it. This way is to follow up the difficulty of students in the test.
From that, the teacher can evaluate either the students are progressing or they need remediations.
