OBSERVATION SHEET

Name of the School Observed: NONESCOST Laboratory High School

School Address: Old Sagay, Sagay City Date of Visit: Jan 15&22, 2013

Year Level: 4th Year Subject Area: T.L.E.

1. What principles in teaching - learning were commonly applied?

In our 2 days observation experience, we had identified two principles of teaching-learning. One of it is “A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning”. The physical condition of the classroom is well-lighted and well-ventilated. In fact, it is air-conditioned. And the teacher

himself creates a psychological atmosphere inside the classroom that is supportive of learning. The other one is “Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life. As we observed, the teacher always relate the lesson to students’ life experiences. He ask his students if who among them experienced already the application of technology into their lives.

2. What instructional materials were used in teaching?

The teacher used programmed materials such as PowerPoint presentations and text slides in discussing the lesson. He also used computer units when he involved his students to hands on learning experience.

3. Which of the principles in teaching facilitate the cognitive, metacognitive and positive motivational processes of learning?

There are several principles in teaching which facilitate the cognitive, metacognitive and positive motivational processes of learning. They are the following: a.) A non-threatening atmosphere enhances learning; b.) Learning is an active process; c.) The more senses that are involved in learning, the more and the better learning; d.) Learning is reflective; e.) Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning; f.) Good teaching goes beyond recall of information; and g.) An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information.

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience.

In our two days observation experience at NONESCOST Laboratory High School in the class

of Mr. Tonepher Caballero, we have learned that it is best to engage our students to varied

activities which provides “hands-on-minds-on” learning. This reminds us of a saying which says

“What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand”.

We also learned that there should have a connection between the lesson that you are

going to discussed and the instruction material that you are going to use in your lesson.

Year Level: IV-Diamond Subject Area: T.L.E.Topic: Electronic Communication

Description of Teaching Strategies:

The teacher uses inquiry approach in reviewing and in discussing the lesson. He asks his students with what-why-how questions. He also let his students do procedural knowledge through hands-on-learning activity. And he uses a PowerPoint presentation in presenting and in discussing the lesson.

Description of Learning Activities:

The teacher engaged his students in an individual activity through hands-on learning. He let his students type their experiences through computers. He also involve his students in his discussion through reading the powerpoint presentation and interacting with possible questions that may arise during the discussion.

Description of Learners’ Participation (proportion of learners who participated and quality of participation):

Almost 80% of all the learners are listening and are participating with the discussion. Few only especially some of the boys are not participating well in the lesson. They tend to react with what the teacher is discussing. These boys are sometimes talkative during their activity but their teacher always lead or guide them to have a smooth flow of discussion.

MY JOURNAL

Name of the School Observed: NONESCOST Laboratory High SchoolSchool Address: Old Sagay, Sagay City Date of Visit: February 12, 2013Year Level: IV-Diamond Subject Area: T.L.E.Topic: Journal Publication


The teacher used the demonstration or direct instruction by demonstrating to the students the following steps and stating them the clear instruction on what they are going to do. Also by explaining them properly and clearly before the activity starts.


The teacher involves his students through typing their journal publication. He let the students type about news and spotlights, and save it to their account.


All of the students are participating in the activity, but because this is group activity there is only one student who will operate the computer unit and the rest of the members are active helpers of the operator. They are the one discussing and dictating to the operator on what to be done.

A powerpoint presentation appropriate to a topic being discussed. Such media is most effective way of helping learners be affected and interested to learn the topic. These wide variety methods help the learners enrich their actual and contrived experiences as well.


The teacher provides an activity that gives opportunity to students to develop or improve one’s skills through self-evaluation. It may be in the form of working an account to support security of their journals.


The learners are focused while the teacher is discussing the topic. Most of them actively participate when the teacher asks questions. These learners are near the front of the teacher while the learners who sit at the back were focused but then as they were asked by teacher, they cannot answer the question correctly.

Scribble a brief reflection of your feelings and insights from your observation experience.

In our more than 5 days of observation experience at NONESCOST Laboratory High School

in the class of Mr. Tonepher Caballero, we had learned that the teacher’s teaching strategy greatly

affects students’ attitudes and behaviors towards the subject.

We had also proved to ourselves that learning is primarily controlled by the learner and not

by the teacher; that learning is an experience which occurs inside the learner and is activated by

the learner and that whatever efforts the teacher has done, it will only become useless if the

learners don’t find it interesting to learn.

At the end of this activity, we are able to identify the lesson objectives, learning activities, instructional materials and assessment tools used by the teacher and to draw insights from the teacher as to the reasons of their use in such learning activities.

An Observation Guide for Assisting the Teacher

1. What are the objectives of the lesson?

Understand tools and methods used to obtain information from the internet. Understand internet search tools and methods. Understand how to validate, authenticate and legally use information from the internet.

2. How do the learners participate in the learning activities?

The learners were participating well in every activity. They always listen to their teacher’s instruction which was provided to them wherein they successfully done their activity.

3. What instructional materials are employed?

Instructional materials such as computers, programmed materials and powerpoint presentation.

4. How does the teacher assess the learning in the lesson? Is she assessing the process or the product?

The teacher assesses the learning of the students through the process. When he give an activity to his students, he never let his students to do it by themselves. Instead, he roams around and checks the works of his students if it is already correct or need to improve.

5. What reasons does the teacher give in having such learning activities?

He’s giving such learning activities for his students to know how to manipulate the computers. He give these learning activities also for his students to be active in the class because if he didn’t do it, there is a tendency that the students will get bored.

The learners sometimes participate actively during the discussion but most of the time they tend to talk with their seatmates. They follow every instruction provided by their teacher.


The teacher employed instructional materials such as computer, laptop, powerpoint presentations and programmed materials.


The teacher assessed his students through giving quizzes and hand-on learning. he is assessing both the process and the product but most of the time he is focusing on the process rather than on the product of students’ learning.


In order for the students to develop their skills and attitudes towards the use of computers and other technologies in communication. Also, to motivate the students to participate in the discussion or learning activity.

The learners are active participants in the class. They answer the question when the teacher asks them. They are focused during the discussion but then, sometimes they are noisy when they feel bored.


He applied improved technologies such as the computer, programmed materials, and powerpoint presentation.


The teacher assessed the learning in the lesson through conducting a test and/or sometimes he gives hands-on activity to the learners. He is emphasizing more on the process rather than on the product.


The teacher gives learning activities to the learners so that they will develop their skills. And for the students also to get interested, affected and to improve their learning styles. And to motivate learners to study on their lessons.


___________GENER P. PERENAL________Signature over Printed Name of FS Student





The students are actively participating in their group activity through discussing their topic and typing it to the computer.

3. What instructional materials are employed? The instructional materials used are the personal laptop, programmed materials, computers and powerpoint presentations.


The teacher assessed the students in learning the lesson through the process. He let the students do the group activity by typing their journal publication.


He gives the learning activities to understand the tools used to obtain information from the internet. And to understand how to validate authenticate, and legally use information from the internet. And also to develop their manipulative skills.


_______MARY GRACE V. CASTRO________Signature over Printed Name of FS Student





The learners are actively participating in the class. When the teacher asks his learners, they answered it well. There is what we called “sharing of ideas” between the teacher and his students. The teacher injects some jokes in the discussion in order that the level of interest of the students will arouse. And sometimes, he let his students read the written texts on the powerpoint presentation.


He used powerpoint presentation and programmed materials.


He is able to discuss and explain further of what the topic is all about. He is assessing his students’ learning both the process and the product, but he is assessing more on the process than the product. Otherwise, he involves his students through discussion.


For me, he use and give such learning activities because he wants his learners to be active. And that’s why sometimes he injects some jokes so that the interest of the students will arouse; the students will not get bored. And he gives also such learning activities because he wants his learners understand and realize how important the use of computers is. If it is a “boon or bane” to the teaching-learning process.
