OBSERVE
Observe a class with the use of the principles of learning given in Revisit the Learning Essentials. I will
identify evidence of application/violations of the principles of learning. I can site more than one evidence per
principle of learning.

ANALYZE
1. What is the principles of learning being most applied? Least applied?
Most applied:
Least applied:

Give instances where this/these principles /s could have been applied?

REFLECT
From among the principles of learning, which do you think is the most importance?
I think the most important among the
principles of learning is learning is
an active process
because this principle must be
actively interested, engage in higher-
order cognitive task such
as analysis, synthesis, and
assessment. Active learning
practiced are advised in this context
for instructional activities that
include students doing things and
thinking about what they are
doing.

ACTIVITY 9.2
 IDENTIFYING LEARNING OUTCOMES THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH LEARNING
COMPETENCIES

Resource Teacher: Teacher’s Signature: School:

Grade/Year Level: Subject Area: Date:

OBSERVE
Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes were stated. Determine if the learning
outcome/s was/were achieved or not. Give evidence.

1. Write the learning outcomes state in the lesson.

(SMART Objectives?) Achieved
Learning Outcomes
Yes NO Yes No
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

2. Cite pieces of evidence that these learning outcomes were achieved.

5.

ANALYZE
1. Do SMART objectives make the lesson more focused?

Yes, since it is not just attainable but

also achievable for the learners. And
it is also relevant
to our daily life
-Yes, since it is not just attainable but also achievable for the learners. And it is also relevant
to our daily life

REFLECT
In determining SMART learning
outcomes, it should deal and touch
our life and achievable
and very timely. Nothing would
make sense if you are just teaching
without evaluating your
work.

Lesson learned in determining SMART learning outcomes.

ACTIVITY 9.3
DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN INDUCTIVR AND DEDUCTIVE METHODS OF
TEACHING

Resource Teacher: Teacher’s Signature: School:

Grade/Year Level: Subject Area: Date:

OBSERVE
I will observe on Resource Teacher with the use of this observation sheet. Using the guide questions, I
shall reflect on my observations and analysis.

Teacher-centered Student-centered
Did teacher lectures all the time? Were students in the teaching-learning process? how?
or were they were passive recipients of instruction?
-No

The learners are

 very active in
participating and
they are involved
in
all activities
-The learners are very active in
participating and they are involved in
all activities

Was the emphasis on the mastery of the lessons or on Was the emphasis on the student’s applications of the
the test? Prove. lesson in real life?

-On the lesson, it is because the

teacher elaborated what must the
students know through an activity
A questioned was
raised by the
teacher and ask
them to relate in
a
realistic situation.
-A questioned was raised by the
teacher and ask them to relate in a
realistic situation.

Was class atmosphere competitive? Why? Was class atmosphere collaborative? Why?

Yes, because they Yes, they work -

are actively in the group and

 participatin active
in teams.
-Yes, because they are actively
participating

-Yes, they work in the group and active

in teams.

Did teacher focus only on the discipline/subject? Did teacher connect lesson to other

No, the teacher

disciplines/subjects?
- Yes

integrated
another
subject.
-No, the teacher integrated another
subject.

What teaching-learning shows that teaching approach was:

a.) constructivist- connected to past experiences of learners; learners constructed new lesson meaning

b.) inquiry-based

c.) developmentally appropriate- learning activities fit the developmental stage of the children

d.) reflective

e.) inclusive- no learners was excluded; teacher taught everybody

f.) collaborative- student worked together

g.) integrative- lesson was multidisciplinary- e.g. In Science, Math concepts were taught.

ANALYZE
1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and for the test?
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you be teacher-centered or student-centered?

REFLECT
Reflect on PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING WORTH APPLYING

LINK THEORY ON PRACTICE

Direction: Encircle the letter of the correct answer.
 1. Teacher Rose believes that students need not know the intended learning outcome of her lesson. She
proceeds to her learning activities at once without letting them know what they are supposed to learn for
the day. Which principle of learning does Teacher Rose negate?
A. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes
B. Learning is an active process
C. Leaning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas.
D. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.

2. Teacher Lil avoids drills out of context. She gives real-world Math problems for students to drill on.
Teacher Lil is very much convinced of which principle of learning?
A. Learning is an active process.
B. Leaning is the discovery of the personal meaning of ideas.
C. Learning is a cooperative and a collaborative process.
D. Effective learning begins with setting clear expectations and learning outcomes

3. For meaningful teaching and learning, it is best to connect the lesson to the life of students by
integrating a relevant value in the lesson. Which principle is applied?
A. Lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes must integrate 2 or 3 domains- cognitive, skill,
and effective or cognitive and affective or skill and affective.
B. Begin with the end in mind.
C. Share lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes with students.
D. Write SMART lesson objectives/intended learning outcomes.

4. Teacher Ruben wanted his students to rate their own work using the scoring rubric which he explained
to the class before the students began with their task. Based on revised Bloom’s taxonomy, in which
level of cognitive processing are the students?
A. Evaluating C. Applying
B. Synthesizing D. Analyzing

5. You are required to formulate your own philosophy of education in the course. The Teaching
Profession. Based on Bloom’s revised taxonomy, in which level of cognitive processing are you?
A. Analyzing C. Creating
B. Applying D. Evaluating
