THE TEACHERS PRAYER

O Lord of learning and of all learners, We are best but blunderers in this Godlike business off teaching Our shortcomings blame us, for we are not alone in paying the penalty for them We nave schooled our students to be clever competitors of the world as it is, when we should have been helping them to become creative cooperators in the making of the world as it ought to be We have regarded our school as training camps for existing to the exclusion of making them working models for an evolving society. Help us to be more interested in stimulating the building of the modern cathedrals than in retailing to students the glories of ancient temples Give us to see that a students memory should be a tool as well as a treasure chest Help us to realize that in the deepest sense we cannot teach anybody anything, that the best we ca do is to help him learn himself Give us a reverence for our materials that we may master the fruits of our particular fields Help us to see that education but the adventure of trying to make ourselves at home in the modern world May we be shepherds of the spirit as well as the masters of the mind?

Give us o Lord of teachers, a sense of divinity in our undertaking. Amen.

STUDENTS PRAYER
Creator of all things, true source of light and wisdom, origin of all being, graciously let a ray of your light penetrate the darkness of my understanding. Take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, an obscurity of sin and ignorance. Give me a keen understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally. Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations and the ability to express myself with thoroughness and charm. Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in the completion.

I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Analysis
1. Were the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics? Yes, they are arranged accordingly and vey convenience to use.

1. Which of the materials in the learning resource caught your interest the most? Why? The materials or illustrations displayed in every side of the wall because the students can remember it more easily and can help grasp the information.

2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use or operate?

The materials that I am confident to use in the subject Science are: the use of different figures or models related to understand Biology, the computer and the microscope.

1 needs

Criteria Effective Communication Conveys the message quickly and clearly Attractiveness Colors and arrangement catches and holds interest

Comments Writings are large enough for the readers to be attracted on the bulletin itself. Color combination is followed and blending of colors is not irritating to the eye. The arrangements of designs are excellent. There are only limited shapes used on the bulletin board. Since the display is attractive, it can engage the learners and involve them to what the bulletin conveys. Writings are legible and can be seen from a far distance. Words written are free from any error. They used only colored chalk in writing.

Balance Objects are arranged so stability is perceived Unity Repeated shapes or colors or use of borders holds display together Interactivity The style and approach entice learners to be involved

Legibility Letters and illustration can be seen from a good distance Correctness Free from grammar errors, misspelled words, ambiguity Durability Well-constructed, items are securely attached

My Suggested Bulletin Board

Monthly activities

Vocabulary word with meaning(atleast two words per day)

Bible verse (atleast 1 verse everyday)

Analysis
1.

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interest of its target audience? Why? Why not? Yes, the bulletin board displays reflect the likes and interest of its target audience because it provides information that may benefit the target audience that may be able to pass on into their home or in the community.

2. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why not? Yes, because most of the students know how to read the cursive hand writing and the information written on the bulletin shows simple information.

3. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why not? To inform all the student and the Teaching Staff as well the activities of the month. Yes of course because all of the readers are passing the information conveyed by the board.

4. What suggestion can you make? It is much attractive if the writing on the board is made up of letter cuttings and shows up a

picture of the information being conveyed to the audience.

Reflections: 1. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

To cope up with effective board display a teacher should have the following: Considerate taking into account the varied needs of the target audience, the currency of the materials used, and the timeliness of the displays. Creativity the ability to use the imagination to develop new and original ideas or things, making the bulletin board attractive. Resoursefulness making use of available resouces and making indegenous materials into very useful one. Artistic the sence of balance, unity and harmony must be takent into account. Smart being intelligent and knowing the correctness of the display.

2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills? The aces that I got are perseverance and patience in doing arts and being creative, resourceful and being artistics are the skills that I possess. I can improve these skills in putting it on practice. In making projects, being creative and artistic are applied. While being resourceful is enhance in making visual aids, using recyclable materials.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve on or acquire these skills.

The skills that I need to develop are to be confident enough in what I am doing and be considerate is to what other people suggestion to the art I am doing. I can improve this skill through keen observation and asking the opinions of the target audience.

Utilization of Teaching Aids Form Year Level of Class Observed: III-H Date of Observation: august 2011 Subject Matter: Math III-Geometry Teaching Aids Used Flashcard s Strengths Comments on Weaknesses Appropriaten ess of the Teaching Aids Used It cannot Flash cards be seen by are not all the only very students useful in specially teaching those who mathematic are at the s but also side in science. It involves students in the discussion and it facilitates time, instead of writing everything on the board.

Facilitate s time It involves students in the discussio n

 Problems Faciltitat written in es time a manila After paper posting, the students can immediat ely answer the question/ s posted.

The penmansh ip of the teacher can affect the comprehe nsion of the students

Instead of writng everything on the board, the techer will just post the ready made material and the students can immediatel y proceed in answering the question.

Analysis 1. Were the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics? The teacher chooses flashcards and readymade material to facilitate time in order for them to discuss more. 2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed? Some students are hard up in manipulating a microscope. The teachers strategy to overcome this is to give the students enough

time to manipulate and practice on how to use the microscope 3. Over all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not? The materials used are very effective, for they involve the students in the discussion

Reflection 1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you do differently if you will teach the same lesson to the same group of students? Why? If I would be the teacher, I would do the same. In science, involving the students in the discussion helps them a lot. As in the law of exercise of Thorndike, applying what have learned helps retain the facts that have been gained.

Description of the Classroom Handouts/Workbook

Kalikasan is a magazine which contain different information. It includes the discoveries of Scientists, trivia about Science, there is also a featured destination to be visited, information about diseases and fearured a Teacher whom who help or discover about Science. This magazaine is about ten pages. At the back portion of the magazine are question about the content. There is also a cross word puzzle included to asses students if they really read the articles in the magazine. The price of the magazine is Php 20.00.

Strengths and weaknesses of Classroom Handouts

The magazine is one of the richest in information and updates about Science. You may read seven or more information. And just like book you can go over and over again when you miss something in the cross-word puzzle or the identification at the back of the magazine. This is very affordable for every student. The weakness of the magazine is the font size used is small to read. Yes it is true that it has many information but the students had a hard time reading it because of the small font size. It is easy to be crumpled too. Topic present in the present issue has no follow up to the next issue.

Personal Reflections:

The Field Study 103(Technology in the Learning Environment) helps me to identify the need and dynamics in teaching learning process. This course that is very useful for pre service teachers and also to the Teachers to widen their knowledge regarding the modern technology to use in teaching students. Making out this piece, I observed that the use of modern technology in teaching is very effective to the students but it takes much time to prepare all the resources to put up the modern technology. For the mean time and for more effective teaching-learning process, I must prepare a lesson plan well and use instructional materials in order for the learning to takes place more attractable to students.
