Your 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
teachers directions, etc.)
Yes, my observation matched the information given by the teacher and I
was able to correctly identify the students who performed well from those that are
inactive in the class discussion. I was able to identify them because they always
respond to what the teacher is saying and participates well in class.

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?
Based on my observation, there is a wide gap between the students who are
performing well and those that are not. Those who perform well in class has the
ability to easily understand the lesson during the discussion while those who are low
performing pupils tend to ask their seatmate or the teacher for them to understand the
lesson. As a result, they got low scores in their quizzes.

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