Statement of Purpose

My Teaching Philosophy

To educate is to become a better educated. It is circular process that improves with

time; I believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and
skills to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas. My teaching philosophy is based on the
belief that education is a solution to many social problems. Education provides the tools to make informed
decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing
knowledge and working to improve my skills as an educator are among my highest priorities.

As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in my students and my self. Course

material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and
retain more information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive.
For this reason, I believe that using a variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an
effective way to complement traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational
experience. I feel that I can encourage students to seek new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an
enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known about subjects. When appropriate, the
classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What better way to make the
necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing how organisms interact with their
environment?

In my interaction with students, I will strive always to be respectful, especially when

dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. I want my student to learn to
think critically, not merely to accept my ideas and opinions; my drive to pursue higher education was due
in part to several teachers who inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams.

An Observation Guide for a LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER

Learning resource center was a facility within a school which was operated by a specialist and containing
several information sources. It must be developed and benefitted to educate all people and provide quality
education. It must have current resources for it is an avenue for learning.

As I visit and observe the different learning resource center, the learning resources that were
available or present were computers, textbooks, magazines, newspapers, television, articles, DVD player,
tapes and etc All materials were properly arranged according to their types and functions. It seems that
all materials have a proper maintenance because they were free any dust.

Every learning resource center has its own guidelines or procedures and also rules. Those
guidelines or procedure and rules do not involve great exertion or discomfort on the part of the users
because they were just easy to adhere or practice.

Impression:

Learning resources are the materials used by teachers to enhance the skills of students, help to discover
the different aptitudes and it provides learning experiences to the students. All learning resources must be
contemporary and the person in-charge must know how to efficiently utilize it because learning resources
support curriculum.

Name and Signature of Observer: JAY AR B. ASPERO

Analysis

1. 1. Were the learning resource/materials arranged properly according to

their functions and characteristics?

All learning resources or materials were arranged properly according their functions and characteristics.
The books inside the library were properly arranged as to their types and functions. The proper
arrangement of learning resources help the teachers and students to locate it and it brings convenience to
both teachers and students.
 1. 2. Do the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy access to the
materials by the teachers? Why? Why not?

The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials in such a way that the guidelines
and procedures do not involve great exertion or discomfort on the part of the teachers or any users of it.

1. 3. What are the strengths of this learning resource center?

Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted to educate all people and provide quality
education. It will become strong when the person in-charge knows how to efficiently utilize it and the
resources must be sufficient and must be contemporary that will suit to the latest trends in the society.

1. 4. What are its weaknesses?

A learning resource center was only good as the resources they have and the person running it so if a
learning resource center has insufficient or outdated resources it will be weak. If they have current
resources but no one knows how to efficiently utilize them so it will be also weak.

1. 5. What suggestions can you make?

I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned and properly managed so that it can function
and give significant contribution to developing learning society and establishing educated society.
Learning resource center must be designed according to the interest of students so that their attention will
be caught and it must be an information provider to reinforce students learning.

Reflection

1. 1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest

the most? Why?

It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly arranged according to their types and
functions. It seems that there was a proper maintenance because most of the books were free from dust.

1. 2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?

The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to multimedia presentation were the
gadgets or materials that give me a strong belief in my own ability to use or operate it.

1. 3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It is important for me to be familiar
and understand clearly its appropriateness and effectiveness in delivering a topic.

An Observation Guide for Board Displays

Name of School Observed: Sagay National High School

Date of Visit: August 16, 2012

As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found out that every classroom has its own board
display. Some classrooms have a bulletin board for birthdays of students, classroom cleaners, classroom
officers, classroom activities and announcement and the most common was the board display that
contains the topics to be discussed in a certain grading period.

I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it was more than that if I will examine the
whole campus. Board displays were located in front of the canteen, near the faculty room and also near
the entrance gate. Most of it was announcements, activities or events in school and etc The
announcements were written in a formal way that everyone can quickly and clearly understand , the
information were arranged past to latest and the materials used have a high quality that can last for a
longer time. Board display near the entrance of the gate was covered by a class, so as to give protection
to the content and materials used.

Messages were clear enough as I read it and it can be easily understood because there were no
misspelled words or any inconsistencies in grammar.
Topic of the board displays: Buwan ng Wika and Science Month

1. Analysis
2. 1. Did the board display design reflect the likes or interest of its target
audience? Why? or Why not?

Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the title and the theme seem to be a
student made. Since it is made by certain students, so I can say that everything being posted are being
reflected on the likes or interest of its target audience because the main target audience are also the
students but it is not the totality because every student has its own style. It simply means that one student
is different from another student in terms of their likes or interest.

1. 2. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Or Why not?
Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read by the target audience and the
words were also bold enough to be clearly seen. The words used were appropriate to the level of the
students where in the students who will read it can understand its thought.

1. 3. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it
effective? Why? Or Why not?

In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey information to the students such as
information about the content of the subjects, proper hygiene, values information and latest trends in the
society. It also serves as motivation tool for the students to do their best and as I look in it, it really works
for it s purpose. By it designs it holds attention, the contents were appropriate that provide learning
information, and the boards were not merely filled with written words but also pictures that facilitates easy
understanding.

1. 4. What suggestions can you make?

I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought of the sentence. The content must
have something new that gives opportunity to the student to participate or interact and it is important also
to update the content. It would be also nice to add more contents which will invite the participation of the
students aside from information that it conveys.

Theme:

ACTIVITY BOARD

Board title:

YOU ARE WANTED! PLEASE DO WHAT IS ASKED

Rationale:

(purpose)

To enhance students participation in learning by using board

display and the ability of students in responding to the questions
posted.

Objectives:

The students will be able to provide answers on the posted

questions
 The students will be able perform the activity being posted

The students will be able have additional information or learning

aside from what is discussed in the class

Best features of my propose bulletin enhancement:

It will consist of health information, trivia, and latest educational

trends in the society and activities for the students to do.

Content resources (name each needed resource and give

each a brief description):

Internet- sites with reliable information

Books- it could be from all types of subjects

Journals- those that are fitted to the level of the students

Magazines- source for cut out letters and pictures

Students output- can be displayed in the board (must be attractive,

cogent and legible)

Materials for aesthetic enhancement:

Cartolina Cutting Materials

Construction Paper Indigenous Or Recycled

Materials

Cut Out Letters Pasting Materials

Pictures Coloring Material

Boarders

1. Reflection
2. 1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come
up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

Creative the teacher can create ideas in a limitless way

Informative the board display must have varied yet appropriate information

Idealistic the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display would look like and
how it will work for the learning of the target audience

Artistic- the teacher must have a sense of art in order to make an attractive board display

Resourceful resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the enhancement of the board

1. 2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences
in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative, informative and artistic. It was
high school days when I started making a board display. The content was the whole topic that covers our
third grading period. I learn how to make boarders and design a letter specifically the Old Text English
Style because that was my favorite font text. It was my first time to make a board display, thus I still need
to improve and practice those skills for future.

I practice those skills every time I do artworks such as making portfolios and scrapbooks.

1. 3. Which skills do you need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve
on or acquire these skills?

I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board display I must know how to
combine colors, make designs appropriate to the theme and purposed of the board display, and to make it
attractive. To have an artistic skills, I must practice it while still a student, thus I must apply it every time
Im doing an artworks such as portfolios and scrapbooks. There is also a need for me to accept criticism
from others towards my work in order for me to develop or improve my work.

I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and magazines, searching through internet,
and most of all to be updated about the events or happenings in this world.

teaching aids to learning tasks.

Date of Observation: August 16, 2012

School: Sagay National High School

Subject: English

Grade/Year Level: Third Year

As I observe the class, the topic was about idiomatic expression using participle. Through the use of
visual aids, the teacher delivers her lesson effectively. The topics were written in a manila paper and there
was legibility in the content because it can be quickly and clearly understood by students sitting at the
back. There was experiential learning that happens inside the classroom and one of the reasons was that,
students interact on the learning materials that the teacher provides. The teacher let her students read
every detail in the visual aids, actually what was written on the visual aid were questions for the students
to be answered.

Many of them were raising their hands to answer questions and it simply indicates the students
attentiveness, eagerness and understanding. As I closely observed the students simple gestures, it was
inevitable for me to conclude that they were interested on the lesson. The focus of their sight was merely
on the teacher and the learning resources, and some of them were frowning maybe its because they
were very doubtful or dissented about the answer of their classmate. Those simple gestures of students
were the indication of attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.

Year Level of Class Observed: Third Year

1. Analysis
2. 1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the
materials/learning resources that she/ he used?

In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be attentive and participative in their
lesson, and also let her students utilize their analytical skills. The instructional materials used were the
perfect fit because the purpose was accomplished. It really catches the attention of the students and it
aids the teacher intention. The instructional materials serves as a clear representation that was capable
of giving clear information, through this, ht students were actively engaged in the discussion and the
teacher was trying to use her creativeness and resourcefulness to facilitate the learning.

1. 2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be
managed?

As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher experienced. The class was well managed
and the teacher did not find it hard to convince her students to participate in the discussion and activity.
There was an interaction between the students and the teacher, and the teacher makes sure that her
students stay on task as observed.

1. 3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why?

Why not?

Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering the questions written in the visual
aid and some of them were able to answer what was asked. The teacher gives appreciation to those
students who answer the questions correctly and to those who were not able to give their correct answer;
the teacher gives feedback to improve learning. Through the score of students on their quiz that shows a
positive result, I can conclude that learning material was used effectively.

Reflection

1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and
what would you do differently if you will teach the same lesson to the same
group of students? Why?

If I will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will also provide activities in order for
students to have an opportunity to practice and apply their learning after learning a particular knowledge,
skills and attitudes. I will also use the same teaching approach which is the inquiry approach.
If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept of computer literacy for students
has been redefined (creating web pages, digitizing multimedia and the use of social networking sites) thus
I have to be aware of this trends, as my own teaching effectiveness will depend on my understanding of
these recent technological trends. With this reason, I will create a game through the use of projector in a
way that has relation to the tropic. I will also present a power point presentation that contains my topic for
that day. Through this, the students will be attentive and participative in the lesson and it brings
convenience to my part. If the resources are not available, I will use the chalkboard and I will provide them
an interactive activity by dividing them into groups to be followed by a short discussion, this is to facilitate
the visual, auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners. After I implement the instruction, I will evaluate
students by providing an assessment method that is suited to the needs and interest of the students in
order for me to measure the retention of students if they have achieved mastery, and to know if Im going
to proceed or revise the instruction.

An Observation/Survey Guide

Name of the School Observed: Sagay National High School

Date of Visit: August 16, 2012

Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my chosen topic which was the
parts and functions of microscope. As I parts and functions of microscope as my topic I also choose
several learning resources such as chalkboard, books, power point presentation, mock ups, realia,
photocopies, pictures and visual aids. I choose those several learning resources because for my topic
because I believe that it can help me achieve my lesson objectives and to maximize learning inside the
classroom. Since my topic is about parts and functions of microscope, so I can say that available
materials are appropriate for my target year level which is the second year.

Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make flash cards, cut out letters, and as
much as possible learning resources that are made from indigenous or recyclable materials.

I Use graphic organizer to present the learning resources relevant to the topic chosen. On the line inside
the box, I indicate if the resource is already AVAILABLE MAY BE PURCHASED OR WILL BE MADE

Topic: Parts and Functions of Microscope Grade/Year Level: 2nd year

Analysis

Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your own
materials your own materials? Explain each

1. 1. Doing survey of available materials will give me a new idea of what to

make and how to make it. There may be unique learning materials that could be
beneficial to the lessons that I will be teaching, and by looking at the other materials
can have additional information on what to do. Through survey I can gain competence
in preparing instructional materials that are appropriate to the learning content,
learning objectives and learning styles of my students.
2. 2. Doing survey can help me realize what other learning materials that I
need to make or avail in order to enhance learning in my class. Doing surveys provide
several options as well as bases for me to choose so that I can produce an appropriate
and effective materials that should be based on students characteristics or learning
styles and to my lesson objectives. It is also necessary that the materials must be
applicable to the subject matter.
3. 3. Doing survey may also help me evaluate the materials I will be making
is beneficial or relevant to my lesson. The information that I have gathered during the
survey will serve as my bases or guide on how I am going to evaluate my materials. It
is important for me to evaluate the materials that I will be making so that I can
produce an improved and developed materials based from the evaluation I have
made, with this reason I can gain competence in making instructional materials that
are appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives, and learning styles of my
students.

Reflection

1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?
I like making power point presentations because its easy for me to put different graphic designs, effects
and transitions. I can also insert pictures, video clips and even sounds. My purpose of selecting power
point presentation among other instructional materials is to make a clear representation and while
presenting a topic, it is necessary for me to monitor and facilitate to make sure that students stay on task.
I believe that making power point presentations aids in enhancing creativity.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How
did you overcome them?

I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the power point program has a guide on
how to use it. Making a presentation using power point program is just an easy task for me. The only thing
which I consider a problem for me is on how Im going to deliver the content in my presentation.

3. What tips can you give teachers regarding presentation of teaching?

The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her students. She/he must see to it that
his/her materials will fit to the learning styles of the students and must be applicable for his/her subject
matter for the materials to be effective. The chosen materials must be appropriate and can contribute to
the achievement of learning objectives. In todays generation, it is important for a teacher to meet the
changing needs and interest of students, thus several factors must consider such as practicality,
availability, cost effectiveness and appropriateness that is based on students characteristics or learning
styles and lesson objectives. The teacher may also do surveys to the available materials or can search
through the internet.

parts. It can be two or more substances out of a compound

The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas is an example of a decomposition reaction:
2 H2O 2 H2 + O2

Replacement reactions this type of reaction occurs when an element is set free from its compound
producing a new element and new compound.

An example of a substitution reaction occurs when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid. The zinc
replaces the hydrogen:
Zn + 2 HCl ZnCl2 + H2

Double replacement reactions- a type of reaction in which two compounds combined to form two new
compounds by exchanging their radicals.

An example of a double displacement reaction occurs between sodium chloride and silver nitrate to form
sodium nitrate and silver chloride.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

Analysis
 1. 1. After working on your handout, answer the following questions:

What are the good features of a handout?

A good handout must be concise and can be understood by the readers. There must be subtitles that
make it easier to read and the key words must be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. To shorten it,
the use of bullet point format may contribute as well as the use of diagrams, flowcharts and etc Make
sure that all the important pints of the presentation are on the hand out and do not include too much
information, otherwise it can become cluttered. The content must be easily recognized and it must be
sequence properly to avoid confusion. The content must have legibility.

1. 2. Which of these features are present in the hand out I made?

Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise and comprehensive. The key
concepts were emphasized because they are in bold type. I also use bullets, concept map. I contained all
the important points of the presentation and I sequenced the details properly to avoid misconceptions.

The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of chemical reactions.

1. 3. Which features are not present in the handout I made?

Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My penmanship was not good enough to
make my handout very attractive to the eyes of the readers, yet there is a chance to enhance its legibility
by using one of the applications of a computer specifically the Microsoft word office.

I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not necessary to use subtitles for that
subject matter.

Reflection

1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter been making the handouts? How
did you overcome them?

To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable source or references and assistance
from a computer. The only thing that took time and needed brain storming is the conceptualization of the
flow of the handout and the concept map that I included. So first I did was to make an outline of the
content of my handout then I read several references and searching through the internet just to form my
concept map.

I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions. So what I did was to read and
understand the details in every chemical reaction so that I can give correct examples.

2. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts?

The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making the handout. Then he/she must
conceptualize the flow and the content of the handout by making an outline. The teacher must also read
several references so that the handout will be an informative tool for the students learning.

In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in order for the students to read it
easily and the keywords must be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. Bullet point format and
concept map must be use to summarize the content. The teacher must put all the important points in the
handout and he/she must not include too much information to avoid cluttering. The teacher must know
how to sequence the content in order to avoid confusions

My Target

At the end of this activity, I will gain competence in developing and utilizing materials (slide
presentations) which involve students in meaningful learning.

Analysis

1. 1. What are the good features of a slide presentation?

A good slide should include transitions or effects to put emphasis on some points of the
lesson, but not too many. It must have also one design or theme for whole slides to avoid confusion or any
misconception. The slides must not too long, nor too short to avoid cluttering in the slides. A pictures
speaks thousands words, hence photos must be included in the slides to let students know what I am
talking about. The contents of the slides are important points of the lesson and must not include the whole
words that I have to say for the whole discussion.

1. 2. Which of these features are present in the slide presentation you

made?
 The features that are present in my slide presentation that I have made are the transitions,
effects, only one theme or design for the whole slide and also pictures that help students visualize their
thoughts or ideas.

My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I give emphasis on the contents
because they are the important points of my lesson.

1. 3. Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made?

All those good features of a slide presentation that I have cited are present in my slide
presentation. I did not mention the sound effects and music, for me it is not essential to use all the time
because it brings distraction to my discussion. There are times that music and sound effects are highly
needed especially in presenting a video presentation

Reflection

1. 1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide

presentation? How did you overcome them?

Making power point presentation is very interesting to me because I can do most that I wanted to do to
make my slides a clear representation and as a tool of information sources. So far, there were no
difficulties that I have encountered because the program has guides on how to use its features. If there is
a certain feature which I dont know how to use, then I just simply click help or go to a website specifically
the Google to find the answer if there is an internet access.

students.

Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students, I must ensure first that those topic and
activities are consistent in my learning objectives. I must also give proper instruction to the students
before they search such websites by explaining to them the learning goals to be achieved before
searching any websites so that the students will stay focused during the activity. When students get
confused, I must provide guidance and directions, guide questions and activities or scenarios. It is also
important to have a follow up discussions to make some generalizations for that topic.

Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective. Upon surfing on the internet, I saw
many websites that have programs to make learning fun and effective. Some of the websites have games
and other has tutorial programs but aside from those benefits, internet access may also be dangerous to
the learners. From the websites I visited, some of the learning is incorporated with violence games and
pornographic photos and videos which are not good influence to the students. Using internet as an
information tool is good and effective but proper supervision of the teacher is highly needed and before
giving the topic or any activity to be searched, I must check first the websites and choose those that are
safe for the students.

Over All Reflection

As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in my mind that learners are rich in
learning capabilities. The process of learning are highly unique and individual, this means that in a
classroom there are individual differences that I must consider. I need to assist my future students to
define and to make explicit to themselves the approaches they ordinarily use so that they can become
more effective in problem solving and learning. I learned that one of the riches resources for learning is
the learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation of experiences, ideas, feelings and attitude which
comprise a rich vein of material for problem solving and learning. I consider learners as the richest
resources for learning because they have their own aptitude which are their innate talent or gift , interest
which express deep feelings for objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and enjoyable, they also
have their own ability which pictates the prospect of success in any purposeful activity, attitude which is
the learners perspective and disposition and last their family or cultural background which is their socio-
economic background.

I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of ideas.
As a future teacher, I will only facilitate my learners and they are the one who will give the meaning of a
concept. Just like for example, my topic is all about the leaf of a plant. I will let them have field trip outside
the classroom to observe the leaf of a plant. I will guide them and I will demonstrate first and give some
information about the leaf and its parts after that, they will give their own meaning or understanding about
the leaf and its parts. Learning is gradual its because it is by stages or levels so as a future teacher
someday I must extend my patience.

To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my work and to my students, I must
have also humor in a way that has connection to the topic, also values and attitude, fairness, sincerity and
honesty, and professionalism.
