The students will -

 gain knowledge about their disciplines and activities that enhance learning.

 be introduced to the application of different theories of learning and knowledge

acquisition that promote the cognitive and metacognitive processes, postive
motivational processes and the use of varied resources of learning in the actual
learning environment.

Learning Task:

“Writing Various Techniques in Teaching a Subject Area”

This will assess various practices of teaching techniques in teaching a subject

area. It will identify the significance of these practices in preparing propective teachers
in engaging their own design and pathway studies appropriate to the tasks of a
professional teacher. It introduces prospective teachers as active researchers to the
classroom context.

1. Observe the school learning experiences the teachers demonstrate using varied
techniques of teaching. What are the strengths or what development needs would
be worth focusing on in this observation?

2. Analyze the technique. Write your observations.

3. Incorporate more enhanced or sophisticated technique that can be worked out.

Detail your suggested technique based on your observation of the students
