Field Study 2 Episode 3 To 7 - Jean Clarisse Umali
LEARNING EPISODE 3
(Understanding AR Concepts, Processes and Models)
What concept have you been emphasized in the task and infographics? Give at least
four.
1. Demonstrate many action research models and the methodology behind them.
2. Discusses the methods of conducting action research.
3. It emphasizes the elements of action research.
4. Understand what action research is and how to use it in a classroom setting.
Since the 3 models are all for action research, what are the common elements of the
three?
The common elements of the three models of action research is Nelson, O 2014
Model that starts with Observe followed by Reflect, Plan and Act.
ANALYZE
Analyze the components vis-à-vis only one model out of the three presented.
If you choose to compare with Model B-Nelson, O. 2014, here are the
components.
Title and Author of the Action Research:
What have you understood about the concept of Action Research and how will these
be utilized in your practice?
REFLECT
Why?
OBSERVE
REFLECT
Think deeply about those problems, perhaps something must have been done to solve
the problem or answer the question, like:
PLAN
Now, that I am in FS 2, I plan to make a plan for my solution to problem (choose from a,
b, c) because they can continue to utilize it till they are old. Person can speak effectively
and humanely if they can construct a statement using good grammar and spelling.
ACT
My action will come later, given enough time in FS 2 or during my Teaching Internship.

LEARNING EPISODE 4
(Matching Problematic Learning Situation with Probable Action)
What five problems have you identified from the words that you have encircled?
Make a statement. Write in the space below.
1. New Normal
The pupils' studies made a major change that had an impact on students’
learning.
2. Comprehension
Low comprehension means didn’t understand what they read.
3. Behavior
Different behavior can affect the flow of the discussion.
4. Reading Difficulty
Many students are struggle with reading.
5. Focus
Students are getting bored easily so they don’t pay attention in the class.
Suppose you chose the letter A. Conduct a Tutorial. So you have identified the SOLUTION
that matches the PROBLEM which is Difficulty in Comprehension.
Can you also choose letter B. Show video lesson as a SOLUTION for the same Problem?
Explain: Yes, show video lesson will help the students to enhance their reading
comprehension. Through videos with students will catch their attentions and know the
things they need to do when it comes in reading because it uses appropriate images
and accurate sounds how to read the words and understand it.
NOTICE
What have you noticed of the problems identified above? Can there be more
than one solution to the problem? Explain.
There are many solutions to that problem. Nowadays, students are good in using
computers, including laptops, smartphones, and other devices. There are
numerous tools available to assist pupils in enhancing their reading
comprehension. Some apps contain electronic dictionaries that will improve their
reading comprehension while others are entertaining logic puzzles.
ANALYZE
Let us try to look into the following scenarios in the daily life of teacher. This scenario might
also be similar to the class you have observed and noticed.
Scenario A: Miss Fely is grade four teacher in a typical elementary school. She has forty
learners I her class. One half of them cannot classify animals into vertebrates and
invertebrates. She has been repeating the same science lesson for two weeks, yet no
progress was observed. This situation has been bothering Miss Fely.
Scenario B: Sir Ryan teaches in a disadvantaged urban community. Most of his learners
come from families that are disrupted, either with single parent or with their guardians
who stand only as parents. They are deprived of the necessary food, clothing and shelter.
Can you identify the most probable teaching-learning problem/s in the class of
Sir Ryan?
a. In my opinion, the issue here, most of his learners come from families that
are disrupted. I think Sir Ryan’s students are lack of parental supports morally
and financially.
b. Also, the other issue here is deprived of necessary food, clothing and
shelter.
Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problems that you have
identified?
There are many solutions to solve even one of the problems that I have
identified. Sir Ryan can approach his students, motivate them and give
words of wisdom or a quotes that will inspire them and change for the
better. Sir Ryan can approach parents and talk to them through simple
conference or meeting and tackled the major problem that he noticed
most of his students. If a family enjoys good company at home, it will benefit
their child's academic performance.
REFLECT
After reading the two scenarios given above, how would identifying problematic
situations and finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better teacher?
Using any one example of problems in this activity, answer the AR prompts that follow:
OBSERVE
REFLECT
I want the pupils to feel a connection to their teacher. Because the teacher
is the second parent, I hope they learn to be genuine and develop a close
bond with them so that when a problem arises, the teacher can more easily
provide a solution. I want to tell pupils that don’t be shy asking help to the
teachers, they are go to the school to learn and not to impress. I will
encourage them to participate to activities that will develop their reading
comprehension.
PLAN
First, I will observe students who have difficulties in reading. Next, I will go to
have an interview or short conversation with students that I seems have
difficulty in studying especially in reading. After that, I will test them reading
a printout short story and ask some questions. Then, I will let listen and show
to them how the story read accurately through the audio-visual materials.
Finally, I will test them again to read the printout story and answer the
questions after.
ACT
What would be the title of your Action Research should you conduct the study?
LEARNING EPISODE 5
(Preparing the Learning Environment: An Overview)
What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning environment in
the following conditions:
NOTICE
Learning Environment 1:
What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message
or theme does it convey?
o I have noticed that the display in the class bulletin board is full of activities
and very eye-catchy.
What makes it attractive to the learners?
o I think is the combination of colors and the use of animated cartoons as
design that cope to their ages.
Does it help in the learning process? How?
o Yes, because there are bulletin board in every subject, they see learning
materials that posted in the bulletin boards and also the activity they have
done is attached.
Learning Environment 2:
If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules, where
is most likely the learning space of the students?
o Literally, in their home since face-to-face classes were not allowed.
Parents are responsible to students’ learning.
Can you describe?
o Although learning from home may seem comfortable, the environment
must be conducive, much like the school setting. Students should
complete their modules in a calm setting with no outside distractions so
they can concentrate on them.
How can you a teacher help to make such environment conducive for learning?
o As a teacher, I merely make a visit to each of my pupils at home to ensure
that they are in a conducive setting. I'll inquire of them what they demand
in order to concentrate, comprehend, and complete the modules.
ANALYZE
The example above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows the learners are
in the same room or space while in the second, the learners maybe in different learning
spaces like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases parks or under the trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situation would you prefer to manage for learning?
Choose between Learning Environment 1 or Learning Environment 2?
I will choose the Learning Environment 1, which the learning environment is in the
school or what we called face-to-face class. I believe that school is conducive
environment where the students need it to learn well and focus on their studies. Unlike
in modular learning that they can’t understand well because they can’t focus
because of the environment they have which is their home.
REFLECT
OBSERVE
What probable problem may result from the two situations of the learning environment?
In Face-to-face class:
o Allowance
o Peer pressure
o Lack of learning resources
In On-line/Modular class
o Lack of internet connection
o Attendance of the students
o Various learning style
o Power interruption
REFLECT
PLAN
Just like I said, I should be flexible one. As a teacher, I believe that the best way to
address the issue is to monitor my pupils' progress by keeping in touch with them. In
order to satisfy the needs of all of my students, I must be well-prepared as a teacher.
I will establish a close relationship with the parents and share thoughts and ideas for
the welfare of the kids, I will be able to aid my students even if they have diverse
personalities and interests.
In not less than 300 words, write an essay on the topic: “My Conducive Lerning
Environment”
They frequently state that teachers serve as the second parents for students,
guiding, helping, and teaching them to become better people. Children do attend
school to learn, study, and make friends, and this is true. Have you ever wondered
why pupils focus more on studying in school than they do at home? Students just pay
more attention to what they are studying at school because they need a conducive
environment, and school provides one. Because the teacher is not present to assist,
help and support students in completing their modules, many students in the
pandemic of modular and online learning lose all interest in, lack motivation, and get
anxious about learning because they do not comprehend it properly. Therefore,
students do not sure if they doing right or not.
Then, what indications were available that the environment was conducive
for learning? First, a positive environment for learning should be flexible, with space
for small groups and moveable walls. Provide a large learning area with both indoor
and outdoor activities for the students.
LEARNING EPISODE 6
(Enhancing a Face-to-Face Learning Environment)
Given the concepts and infographic, how can you participate and assist in a
face-to-face learning environment?
NOTICE
Having been exposed to the traditional classroom in your basic education, it seems that
everything is familiar. However, a teaching-learning theories evolve over time there are
changes that are taking place:
ANALYZE
What do you think brought the changes in the face-to-face learning environment now?
I think that the use of technology in the classroom, which creates productive
learning environments, is causing changes in the face-to-face learning
environment. Because of the downloadable arts that are readily available online,
the walls' creativity has enhanced their beauty and attraction.
From the changes that you identified, choose one that you can do. How will you do it?
I believe the only thing I can do at this time is set up a conducive classroom. I will
upgrade or replace those elements that can improve the learning of the students,
and I will only include the necessary elements that I know would benefit the
learners.
REFLECT
For me, a conducive classroom would significantly affect students' learning and
personalities. They can concentrate on their lecture because they act similarly at
school, particularly during activity time.
OBSERVE
When students are not interested in the lesson, they easily get bored and begin to
chat with their seatmates instead of paying attention in class.
REFLECT
Since students in primary levels always want fun, I will use audio-visual materials
that suitable to their ages and will catch their attention to listen.
Because if I saw my students are amaze and active in my class, this is the best
opportunity to discuss my lesson well because there is no noise that will distract the
whole class.
PLAN
What will I do to solve the problem? Describe briefly how you will do it.
To solve the problem, I will find more creative displays that I will show to the
students through audio-visual materials. I also find unique motivations for students
to become active in learning.
PORTFOLIO ENTRY
Many educational images, including the flag's insignia and emblems, are put on
the walls inside the classroom. There are also interesting bulletin board designs. The
seats for the students are desks that may accommodate two students. It is
followed by the teacher 's table. All of the students can definitely see the big
screen TV that is located in the front. Additionally, their classroom is well-ventilated.
Teachers and students seem very hospitable and polite to everyone. Students are
very interactive and friendly at the same time. They have a peaceful environment
with clean and discipline surroundings.

LEARNING EPISODE 7
(Making On-line or Virtual Learning Environment Safe and
Conducive)
As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implemented in your virtual class?
I discovered that virtual class is so hard to manage because not all students have
stable connection, plus often power interruption. The easy I have implemented
rules to the students is the attending of virtual class even not so long. I recorded
the class then monitor who joined.
How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
Students show their active participation in the lesson if they are always present to
the meeting and on time. Use raise hand emoji to interact with the teacher or
asking and answer the question. Student/s direct message the teacher whenever
there’s a clarification.
ANALYZE
_✓_ It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform.
_✓_ Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
REFLECT
As a future teacher I feel that the on-line learning environment can be safe if
The teacher knows how to use gadgets and applications and if the students are
using it appropriately, responsively, and ethically.
Challenging, just like what I said above that in virtual environment students in your
class must have strong internet and stable connection to avoid lagging that
affects student’s learning and understanding.
WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS
OBSERVE
REFLECT
Student must try if they are computer illiterate to practice it and be familiar with
technology. They can ask help to the elders or peers to assist them in virtual
learning. Students should have a plan A and plan B if they know that there is a
slow internet connection in their area, they can sit in with their classmate with
strong connection of internet.
PLAN
My initial plan I intend to do first, all concerns must tell to the principal or other
government related. Second find learning system except virtual learning for the
students who have lack of internet connection and computer illiterate, School
and teachers can implement flexible learning, therefore, students will learn
equally.
