III. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE/PURPOSES OF THE PORTFOLIO
The purpose of this portfolio is to provide another source of information for students and
individuals who aim to become a teacher in the future. This portfolio will give them a glimpse of
what it is to be like in a real classroom setup.
The experiences and observations the PST has shared in this portfolio show how field studies can
help PST’s develop their passion and dedication for teaching. By deeply understanding the
importance of learners’ development and school community, the value of teaching profession, and
the essence of interpersonal communication, the PST’S are being equipped with knowledge and
skills needed by teachers in order to become effective in their profession

provides a means of communicating and showing my knowledge development on the course.
Reflecting on course contents means capturing thoughts and meanings as they occur along the
way Above all, this portfolio encourages me to reflect on the course contents and self-assess my
developing competence in teaching.

COURSE CONTENT
To become professional the Pre-service Teachers need to be equipped with the holistic experience
of becoming a teacher. In this context, the Pre-service Teachers will bring together their
experiences from Field Studies one to five.
A. Teacher’s Classroom Management Skills
The Pre-service Teachers will again observe the Cooperating Teacher’s Classroom Management
Skills, facilitating the class an effective teaching and learning environment. These management
skills include:
a. Routine activities to ensure classroom discipline, particularly on:
Checking the attendance
Seating arrangement
Handling materials and devices
Classroom courtesies
b. Monitoring of the Learners’ behavior and the teacher’s response to such
behaviors.
In this observation on Teacher’s classroom management skills the Pre-service Teacher’s will:
1. Record 2 observations for each item in a and b.
2. Relate the observations and describe how he/she would manage these activities/ situation
in his/her own classroom.
B. Lesson Guide Making
The Pre-service teachers will prepare lesson guides according to the subject matter that the
cooperating teacher assigns to them. These lesson guides include the setting up of
objectives/materials selection of appropriate teaching strategies and activities based on the
learners’ needs, and the employment of authentic assessment tools for the learners.

NOTE: The Lesson Guide prepared by the Pre-service teachers will be assessed by both Pre-service
Teachers and Cooperating Teachers using the following Lesson Guide checklist.
C. Micro-Teaching
The CT should guide the PSTs to be able to use appropriate skills such as explaining,
demonstrating, questioning, giving feedback and checking understanding to ensure that learning
will take place.
Task 1:
1. Observe the CT conducting a micro-teaching lesson. Discuss it with her/him
2. Collaborate with your CT and identify learners for possible remediation, tutorial or
enhancement.
3. Plan the micro teaching lesson and implement it.
Activity:
1. Observe how your CT uses transition to shift from one lesson to another.
2. Conduct a lesson or activity where you have to move from one lesson/activity to another.
(This might be done in tandem with your CT).
9
To assess the Pre-service Teachers active involvement in co-curricular and extra-curricular
activities are required to complete the following co-curricular and extracurricular involvement
from the PSTs.
Direction:
Make an evaluation of the prepared lesson guides against this checklist. Answer with Yes or No by
checking the corresponding column. Then give a reflective answer on the question given below.
YES NO
1. Do your lesson guides have the basic component parts like?
a. objectives /
b. Subject Matter/ Topics /
c. Materials/ References /
d. Teaching strategies/ activities /
e. Assessment tools for Authentic Assessment and Evaluation /
2. Are your objectives stated in behavioral terms which include
the three learning domains? /
3. Are your objectives learner-centered and interactive? /
4. Are the materials needed appropriate to the lesson objectives? /
5. Is the procedure presented in orderly manner? /
6. Does the procedure begin with goal setting? /
7. Does the development of the lesson connect the broader
aspects of the topic and other subjects? /
8. Is there values integration? /
9. Does the lesson end with a synthesis? /

11. Does it include a relevant and meaningful/challenging assignment? /
10
Upon preparing lesson plan, the goal should aligned to the subject matter. It should be
contained three domains of learning and the goal should be behavioural. In making lesson
plan, we should always think first the possible outcome and possible effects of our
activities. We should prepare best motivation like flashing pictures or educational film
viewing to bring out the interest of the students so that they will be able to bring out their
attention in the class to be more cooperative and participative. Indeed, the objectives
should focus on students’ learning.

Participation Teaching in Transition Self-Appraisal Form for PST
1. After you observed the Cooperating Teacher’s lesson transition, what were your realizations?
It made me realize that having a transition of the lesson from one to another the teacher
need to make an assessment to evaluate the students’ learning before she proceed to the
next topic in order to evaluate the students if they will learn from what have been
discussed.
2. What strategies do you think worked well in changing (transitioning) the lesson? Give details.
I think before you proceed to another new lesson you must have to review or to recall their
insights first in order for the students to remember the past lesson. Having a review and
recall portion can enhance their memory to recall the lesson prior to leave.
3. What would you like to improve in terms of using transition from one lesson to another?
I want to make an assessment or evaluation before I will proceed from one lesson to
another. In that way I can determined if my students understand and gain knowledge on
the topic that we had.

Area(s) of Improvement:
A. List some of the co-curricular and extracurricular activities that take place in your
cooperating school.
1. School Feeding Program
2. Classroom Christmas Decoration
B. Reflective Questions:
1. Which particular activity were you involved in? Describe the activity?
Particularly I involve in the Feeding Program of the school where I serve the students during
their time of feeding. This is the program that sponsored by the MX3 product to promote
and improve children’s health and nutrition values and behavior to the students in Sta. Ana.
Students are schedules to take their food in the room where the food was being
distributed.
2. How did the activity promote learning towards:
a. students
b. PSTs
The activity was promoted the learning of service towards the students and to the PSTs.
Engaging to such activity will promote volunteerism and generosity in helping one
another.
3. How did you mobilize resources (human & material) to support the activity?
The resources are already provided by the school and the sponsor. We just help in the
preparation and distribution to have a smooth and organized operation during the activity.
We are divided in different responsibility to take and assigned in the areas that need a help.
Some are in the preparation, some are in the distribution and others are in the cleaning
maintenance

4. How were the results of the activity shared and publicized in the school?
It was monitored and documented by the teacher who was assigned in the program and it
was reported and submits to the sponsored and to the school principal to have proof of
evidence

On Micro-teaching
A. What have you learned after conducting your micro teaching activity?
I have learned that being a teacher is very difficult especially if you are first time of the job.
You need to adjust everything and yourself on how to handle your students and the lesson
that you have. But if you have the desire to pursue and willingness to do then you can do it.
B. After being aware of your student’s needs in micro-teaching, cite two improvements applicable
to micro-teaching 2.
I think in micro teaching activity you need to discuss thoroughly to the students on the
topic beyond their incapacity and incapability of understanding. Involve everyone in the
activities to participate and develop their self-esteem. Encourage and inspire the student to
listen and participate on the lesson.
C. What needs to be improved in your micro-teaching? How will you address these?
I think I just want to improve my confidence in having a micro-teaching. The only way that I
can do this is to set my mind and myself in the shoe of a true teacher. Not just a learner or a
trainer. By having this kind of thinking I think I can overcome that limitation that I have.
