My Map

To reach your target, do the following tasks:

1. Observe two or more learners of different abilities but from the same grade or year level.

2. Find out some information about their background.3. Observe them as they participate in a classroom activity.4. Write a narrative report and a brief reflection on your experience.



My ToolsUse the activity form provided for you to document your observations.

An Observation Guide for Individual Differences

Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your observation report on the space provided.

1. Observe the class to see the differences in abilities of the learners.2. Try to identify the students who seem to be performing well and those

that seem to behind.3. Validate your observations by asking the teacher about the background

(family, socio-economic, presence of some learning disability, etc.)4. Observe the behavior of both the high achieving and low-achieving

learners. Note their dispositions, pace in accomplishing tasks, interaction with teacher, and interaction with others.

5. Observe the teacher’s method in addressing the individual learning needs of the students in his/ her class.

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 direction, etc.)

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?

3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students’ differences in abilities. How did the students respond to the teacher?



My Reflection

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?
