Reflection on EDTC22: Learning with Hope; Teaching with Joy!

            There are a lot of students go in school every day. Each student go in school with hope to learn proper values, knowledge and especially the way how to get along with others, but each of them been motivated to their teachers who teach with joy in heart and soul. Those teachers make the class into a lively one where the students learn and also enjoy in every activities they had done.

            Each teachers teach in this week has their own teaching strategy and activities to make the class alive and to catch their students attention.

Teacher 1: Muscular Fitness

            The first teacher introduced her topic through exercise where the students are required to stretch their body to be ready for the exercises that they will do. The teacher also prepare a music where the students follow the steps lead by the teacher for the muscles exercises. The teacher also let the students to prepare a short skit where the students may apply the various exercises other than the places of school, gym and house.

Teacher 2: Wastong Pagpapahalaga sa mga Pinagkukunang Yaman

            The teacher start the class by having a group activity where each group will choose 2 representative who will compete from other groups. The representative will pic words related to the topic that will be discuss and will spell the words alternately and the group that has least time will win. The discussion from motivation to the end is good and flow easily. The teacher show the importance of proper using of our nature and state some Philippines laws that protects our nature.

Teacher 3: Effects of Technology in Ecology

            The teacher introduced the topic by an activity called “Apat na Larawan Isang Salita” but with a twist. She divided the class into two groups and instruct to fall in line and the first person in line will see the pictures and construct what the pictures want to express. The first student will pass the answer until it come to the last student, and the answer will be write in the board and the first group who write the correct answer will win. The activity has pictures that shows the effects of technology (factories that produces carbon dioxide and etc.) in ecology.

Teacher 4: Measurements and Safety

            The teacher lets the students try to measure by their own the area, length, width and etc. of the box and has an experiment that showcase the teamwork and apply the concept they learn,   through this the teacher used the learning by doing approach to increase the retention of learning.  I think the teacher need more time to boost her confidence to stand and deliver the topic beautifully in the class but she did well and follow her plans on how to present the topic chosen.

Teacher 5: Effective Leader

            The teacher used a very different style among the teachers, she assign numbers in each students to make the students attentive and alive in the class discussion. The teacher maintain the class atmosphere from the opening until to the last and she can carry all her students and no one left behind even though the students has their own multiple intelligence and learning styles.

Teacher 6: Reflection of light in Mirrors

            The teacher used different approach in his teaching, he makes joke to make the class alive and walk around the stage/class and make interaction between the students. Through those things he make the class happy and alive. He provide some commonly mirrors to let the students experiences the differences between the 3 kinds of mirror and though the art questioning the students produce the right concept between each mirrors.
