Introduction
 Welcome to my portfolio. I am Jowelyn B. Maderal a student of
Camiguin State College, under the course Bachelor of Secondary Education
major in Technology and Livelihood Education.
I choose to be a teacher because I want to make a difference. I could
have chosen a different field where I could serve the society but I think that
education is the right field where I could fully realize this goal.
My experience in off-campus training made me realized that teaching
needs time patience, understanding, compassion, passion and optimism.
Teaching is a profession that one cannot be taken for granted, sometimes it is
frustrating and exhausting, but these are taken away by just one small smile of
a child.
I present this for you to read about my philosophy of teaching and
experiences during my Practice Teaching/Off-Campus Training. My goal is to
show you my strengths that would make me an effective teacher.

My First Demonstration Teaching

April 06,2021
Today is my first demonstration teaching as an intern teacher. I had to showcase of
what i have and what I know as a teacher. With my lesson plan as my guide, I am confident
that I could deliver it well. I had study and understand my lesson well. So after my demo
teaching ny mentor Ms. Jenevev Naybe write her comment and she said, I had to relax
because all the time of my demo teaching I am very nervous. I should have to master my
lesson. I had to improve my transitional phrases and I am not properly end my lesson. I
know that what my mentor said is right. My anxiety occupy my entire system, I almost
forget everything. That is why I motivate my self to build self confidence.

Second Demonstration Teaching

April 12,2021
 It is my second demo, and I fell too much anxiety. Why it is happening again.
Although I try my best not to be nervous, I study the lesson very well so I won’t fell nervous
again. But still my mentor advised me and encourage me not to be nervous because she can
see the potential in me. I am just a little bit nervous. And master my lesson so well. As a
future educator, my task is to impart knowledge to my student.I have to possess deep
understanding of my subject area and I must also be able to foster understanding of subject
or concepts for my students. I have to equipped myself a better understanding in my subject
area.

Third Demonstration Teaching

April 26,2021
It is my third demo and my lesson is not my major, I was told by my mentor to do the
English lesson plan. Again, the nervousness fill into my self. My question, Can I really make it
this one? But still, it is my obligation to do what so ever my mentor told me so. Because I
know it is only for my own good. I have to do it, I can! On my demo teaching, it was very
awkward for me to deliver the lesson because it is an English subject and it is my weakness.
So to make it short I delivered it well but the comment of my mentor is frustrating. She
wanted me out from being a mentee. Because she said I am not improving and I am lack of
enthusiasm. She is sleepy when I deliver my demo teaching. And she was about to walk out.
Then, she told me if I am not going to make a ways to improve then she was going to release
me as her mentee.

Fourth demo

April 28, 2021

This is my fourth demonstration teaching. My topic is back to Tle

subject. And I am giving my best to this demo teaching, thinking of what my
mentor said the last time. I have to improve. And so my demo had finish and
somehow I receive a positive feedback from my mentor, I remember she
told me,” nahadlok gyud siya sa akong gisulti niya, very good!” So I am
happy that all the effort was well rewarded. But then still she said I lack of
enthusiasm, and that is the thing that I should exerted more effort.
Fifth demo

May 26, 2021

The fifth demo is done, still my mentor did not lack to remind me to improve
my demo teaching delivery. And to master my lesson very well. So I would not be
nervous. Because nervousness arise when I did not know my lesson very well. And
also never forget to remind to give enthusiasm in teaching so my student is not
sleepy, and not bored on my subject. This kind of thing is what I have to work hard
for me to improve.

Reflection
Reflection to the Cooperating School

Teachers are the model of students. Students listen to them, follow what they say
and sometimes obey them more than parents. Teachers as students model need to be a
paragon of virtues. They have to live what they teach and be a good example to the
students who are following them. They are being looked up by people around them and the
community. So they have to live in the norms and conducts of a good teacher.
As a would-be teacher, I need to prepare a lesson plan that fits to the learner’s level,
needs, interest, teaching situations, and the teacher’s understanding of how learner’s learns
best, the time and the resources available. Lesson planning is very important in the lives of
the teachers because it helps them conduct lesson in an orderly fashion and it allows
students to know what they are going to learn and on how it fits into their needs.
At this time of pandemic it is frustrating to conduct an off campus teaching without a
student. And we have to adjust our modes of learning.
After each demonstration teaching, I realized that teaching isnt an easy job. It
requires our full dedication , love, and compassion on the profession and the learners.
Teachers cannot teach what they do not know. And i teaching, things that should be taught
must be good, true and correct.
My cooperating teachers Maam Alona G. Acot, Leyte M. Gadgude and Filipina A.
Redera are my mentors for three weeks. They realy guides me and lets me experience the
actual teaching-learning settings. Virtual and face to face. I had many learnings acquired for
the both of them, especially in enhancing my teaching strategies and [Link]
also thought me online activity like the kahoot, [Link], minimeter and I learned a real
life task which will have to know how to perform in a sooner future when I start teaching.
I really enjoyed teaching and practicing my profession in my cooperating school
because teachers, faculty, and staff welcomed and accepted us wholeheartedly, especially
to our cooperating teachers. Yumbing National High School has a standard education. Most
teachers of Yumbing National High School are truly great and dedicated teachers, teachers
whom I find very inspiring. They are always there to guide and mentor us student teachers
in terms of difficulties. They always give their time, patience, kindness and most of all their
help and support.
This day I fully realize that I am really meant for teaching profession because of the
unfogetable experiences that I had encountered during the field study courses, especially
the actual teaching experience.I am thankful to be a teacher. The simplest answer to the
question “why” is because I love it. I love it because it helps me to grow as a human being. It
had created meaning in my life. Indeed it is a dailyrealization.

My first off-campus demostration

This day I have to showcase my newly found strategies from my in campus mentoring and
apply it here in the real world of teaching with my Dep Ed critic teacher. It so happen that the lesson
plan that I prepared is not so coincide with the lesson plan that the Dep Ed had. But my Critic
teacher let me follow the lesson plan that i used to while im in my in-campus demontration
teaching. As I finished my demonstration teaching, my critique teacher noticed that the font
size I used is small and she told me that I have to expand my font so the student at the back
will clearly see and read on my power point presentation. She also introduced to me the
format of their lesson plan in Dep Ed and explain it to me the flow of their lesson plan. I am
happy of what I have learned from my Critique teacher.

My first virtual demo teaching (off-campus)

This time I am going to teach thru google meet,and sad to say that my critique teacher had
finish her online class, so she told me that she will act as my student at the same time will observe of
my delivery of my virtual class. After my virtual demonstration, she introduce to me the used of
kahoot, kahoot by the way is a game-based learning platform that makes it easy to create, share and
play learning games or trivia quizzes in minutes. This is what she used in giving an activities and
quizzes in her virtual classes. And so this time I have learned another techniques or ways that could
help me assist on my discussion with my student.

My second face to face demo teaching

On my second demo teaching, once again I pass my lesson plan. This time she is not
particular with the format of the lesson plan, she did not even corrected it. All she wanted to see is
that how I am going to deliver my lesson, she also told me one of the application/ strategies she
used to her class, the drag and drop strategies. At that moment I realized that each rater have their
own way of how they are going to evaluate their demo teacher. It doesnt mean that the comment of
the first critique teacher will be the same as the second critique teacher. I said these because on my
second demo I focus on the format of my lesson plan and the font size of my power point because
my first critic focused on my lesson plan format and the powerpint description. While on my second
critic she did not comment about my lesson plan or my powerpoint. She focused on the way I am
going to deliver my lesson and that what application I am going to used that could attract the
attention of my students. I am happy to have them as my critique teacher, each of them had impart
their knowledge that could help me enhance my knowledge in teaching in the future.

My second virtual demo teaching (off-campus)

Still Maam Alona is my critic teacher and upon delivering my virtual class, she served as my
student and a critic teacher as well. My topic is the same as my topic on my face to face demo
teaching. They only differ on the activity that was given to the student. I found out that even though
they have the same lesson but when executed to different modes of learning they have big
differences and these difference mostly to the activities that were given to the student. I realized
that it is easy to teach the student in actual face to face rather than in virtual teaching. Virtual is
much expensive and limited in time. I am not so fun in teaching my student in virtual classes, it
seems that the lesson that I am going to teach to them is not enough, there is missing and it is not
good for my student. How they are going to learn if they only receive less of knowledge that they are
going to receive. All I have to say is that I always prefer on face to face teaching.

My third demo teaching (face to face)

This time my critic teacher is Maam Alona Gadgude and this is my last criric teacher and
after these I already completed the six demos that was assigned to us in this off campus
demonstration teaching. My topic is Cookery, I prepare my lesson plan and my critic teacher focus
on the flow of my lesson plan. She mostly gives attention on the objectives and she makes sure that
my objectives hit my abstraction and my application. I realized that there are so much areas that I
really need to improve upon. Specially this kind of pandemic. My off campus demo teaching is very
limited and I really need to explore more to improve my learning.

My third virtual demo (off-campus)

My student teaching experience has been the best, most informational and inspiring
experience in my many years in college. I have experience the ups and down emotions. This time I
feel success as well as sadness for it is the last time that I will showcase my learnings in my demo
teaching experience. My topic this time is the same as the topic of my face to face demo teaching. It
only vary on the activities of the lesson as it is fit in virtual classes. I notice that in my entire student
teaching I have the habit of sticking with the same instructional strategies. And I realized that this is
my most . In the future I need to work on teaching with a variety of instructional strategies. And this
is what I am so much thankful for all of my critic teacher, they share different ideas in a different
lesson that assign to me. I learned many things through my student teaching experience, which will
shape the way I teach for years to come. And lastly a warmest sincerity thanks to all my critic
teachers, hope to see you more in the futrure.

As a future educator, my task is to impart knowledge to my student.I have to possess deep
understanding of my subject area and I must also be able to foster understanding of subject or
concepts for my students. I have to equipped myself a better understanding in my subject area. I do
believe that interactive learning is much easy for my students to comprehend. I am a strong believer
that students should play an active role in their education instead of being passive.

DOMAIN 2
A conducive learning environment bring about a fun, interesting and meaningful learning process,
whereby students anticipate attending the lessons while teachers anticipate deliberating the lessons
passionately.

My experience in Yumbing National High School have prepared me in so many ways. I have learned
that the classroom lay out is one of the most important factors of becoming an effective teacher. It
takes careful planning and consideration to create a classroom environment which is safe and
encourages meaningful learning for all student.

Throughout my off-campus journey, I have had the opportunity to learn about classroom libraries,
differentiated instruction and classroom strategies which will help me visualize how I will create my
own future classroom. Most importantly, I hope to form a safe environment in which leraning can
flourish for each and every student.

DOMAIN 3
Lessons in life are always learned in a variety of ways. From personal experiences to lessons inside a
classroom, people all learn valuable insights that help them live and lead more positive, more
successful lives. A few lessons that all people need to learn and give light towards are ones having to
do with being able to cope within society. Because of the fact that our society is ever-changing,
people have to learn to identify, to understand and to accept diversity.

During my off campus teaching, my critique teacher told me it is not about what you teach to
students it is how you go about teaching them. Then there was a time that when YNHS conducted
their LAC session we were invited to be their students I happened to notice that a teacher made an
effort to get her students to say something nice to someone else every time the student answer the
question. I liked how the students and teachers said nice things to one another it showed me that
they respect one another. I feel that teachers should try to control the way their students act toward
others in the classroom to where everyone feels that they are special in their own unique way.

As a future teacher, I know you must have patience and determination to get your students
attention. I will try to make sure that each one of my students are treated just like everyone else. I
know it will be tough to try to facilitate each of my students needs based upon their strengths and
weaknesses but I will do my best. I will try to incorporate each of my student’s culture and ethnic
beliefs into my lessons. I feel that my students will benefit from learning things about one another
and their family heritage. Now if I have students who are struggling in the classroom that have a
disability I will try to find ways that will make it a little easier in the classroom.

In conclusion, I feel that Diversity is everywhere and that will never change because that is the way it
should be it is beneficial to children. I feel that many of us must be that positive person in a student’s
life to help them really see how you should treat others that may look and act differently. I
feel that teachers should be the ones who should get the credit for trying to change the way their
students show respect to others. I feel that students are the future and it is my job to prepare them
for it. I feel once that a student makes the effort to change is when others will change as well.
Teacher’s I feel have that special spark in each one of them that can make their students excited
about learning.

DOMAIN 4
School cannot exist without the curriculum. A school is put up to be an institution of guidelines, an
institution for educating children into the knowledge they have to attain for the sake of survival in
the world of community they live in. 

Furthermore, without curriculum, a school is worthless or of no use. The establishment that consists
of subjects to be taught during the whole school year, the amount of each lesson to be taught, the
materials to be used during the lesson, the textbooks, the schedule of exams and test to be taken,
the due of paper works, projects and the programs to be made during and in between school days -
all of these, is what we called the curriculum.

Therefore, a school is made up of and diverse of curriculum and the school is made known because
of its curriculum. 

Curriculum is the heart of my [Link] is how essential, valuable and important curriculum is to
me as a future teacher. How can I know what to teach, how to teach and why to teach if i don't have
the curriculum. It is my guiding light to lead the learners to the essentials that they should
[Link] curriculum, I can know when to give them a certain lesson, when to let them have the
test and exams. I can know when to give them practical evaluations. In it, I can evaluate my students
and assess them into which level they have achieved, have been achieving and will be achieved.
DOMAIN 5

Assessment practices play an important role in the field of teaching. They not only show what
students have learned but also provides vital information as to the effectiveness of a lesson, unit, or
curriculum. A variety of assessment techniques must be used to determine student knowledge.
Involving students in the assessment process helps them see how their knowledge has progressed
and provides motivation and pride to push them on in their journey of obtaining knowledge.

Classroom assessments can be diagnostic, formative or summative. At the beginning of a class, it

would be useful to give students a quiz that would interpret each student’s favored learning style.
This is where diagnostic assessment comes into play. It is important to assess students frequently
and with a variety of techniques to track progress. Formative assessments give me the evidence of
student understanding. Summative assessments are given at the end of a topic and show whether
or not they have learned the content. Summative assessments tend to be a more substantial
product. The created product should reflect analysis, evaluation and synthesis of the information.
In this case, I will create a rubric that clearly shows the student what is expected. All assessments
must be reliable and valid. The questions or activities used in an assessment must relate to the
content that has been taught.

I believe it is important for learners to see how much they have learned over a long period of time.
Sometimes I was wondering how harsh/lenient should I assess my students. Being too strict may
diminish students’ interest and participation in the class, but being too flexible can also decrease
students’ engagement in the class. Therefore, I apply differentiation and come out with different
types of assessment that cater for different learner.

DOMAIN 6

As the role of the teacher is to educate and guide the students to grow as an individual, so is it with
the community. The community has a duty to educate and guide the people in it. In fact,
communities need to have some guidelines for their development in terms of economic growth,
infrastructure development, social awareness and human resource development. A good community
is always a sign of good education at all levels.

Of my many years in college going in and out of the school I have been observed that teachers has a
lot of responsibilities in community. The biggest responsibility of any educator is to educate people
about how they can help build their community, country and world into better places for all its
inhabitants, not just themselves or their family members. The role of teachers as citizens includes
participating in debates about important issues affecting communities, contributing ideas about
ways to solve problems and making sure that children get enough information on how they can
become responsible citizens one day when they grow up. Teachers also need to educate themselves
on issues that may affect them or their students as well as other community members such as
discrimination, violence, and prejudice against others who may be different from themselves
because this will help them understand what their responsibilities are as educators and leaders who
will play an important part in shaping future generations into better citizens than themselves.
With these, I realized how are the teachers very influential and how teachers greatly influence the
community through their students. As a future teacher and as the influencer of my student, I will not
be lacking to share the lessons and inspiration to my students that could help them improve
themself and in the community in which where my students live. I must set as an example in good
deeds so my student will know how to communicate others the way it should be.

DOMAIN 7
On my field study journey, I assign my students in group and give them problem-solving task.
This encourages my students to discuss with others and sharing some ideas.I also gives individual
assignment to my students to discuss about certain topic, where i ask them to reflect about the
things they have been learned.
 My teaching Philosophy

My belief of education aligns to the Theory of Constructivism. In the constructivist

theory, the student selects and transforms information, builds hypotheses, and makes
decisions; its focus is on how to construct knowledge, not retelling information learned. I
think that what we learn is constructed through ones personal experiences,previous
knowledge, and beliefs. For me as an educator, this means that I try and encourage
students to discover principles by themselves. I give them the opportunity to have convers
ations among their classmates and with myself. My main task as a teacher is to present
information to be learned that matches or closely matches the students level of learning. I
have taught using a curriculum that is organized in a spiral manner; I think it is important
for my students to continually build upon what they have already learned. As an educator
I would also try to modify my teaching strategies to student responses and encourage my
students to analyze,interpret, and predict information. The emphasis would focus on the
learning process; develop thinking skills, better interpersonal relationships, and meeting
student interests. The students would be encouraged to be creative,express their own
ideas, and appreciate the differences between themselves and others. My responsibility
would be to guide and stimulate curiosity and interest in students and push them towards
problem solving and scientific inquiry.
I also have a strong belief that technology should be considered a tool that
facilitates and enhances instruction of the content in the classroom. It also exposes
students to real-world skills that will be used in future levels. I feel that I have learned
that being an educator is a life-long learning process. This is not only because of new
technology, but also because the world is continuously changing. The needs of the
students of today will not be same of those students who will be with me in coming years.
I feel that I have evolved as an educator and have developed a strong knowledge base in
the field of early childhood and at college level.

SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TEACHERS: RICH WITH PHILOSOPHHICAL HERITAGE

Education is for everybody. All of us were given a chance to be educated if we are just willing to
finish a level or degree in college. Even a vendor can be educated if he/she knows how to value
education by working so hard. Working while schooling is the best perspectives in life. Valuing
education means we are always ready to face any obstacles in life whether we belong to a wealthy
family or as a commoner. Nowadays' education really suits for every one as long as we give much
time to it. Modular or Online learning are just having a common denominator and that is to receive a
diploma to succeed, then we must learn how to handle our schooling following protocols provided
by the government. During my times, Poverty is not the hindrance to our success. Just enjoy your life
in schooling and everything flows so well.

In this chapter, I learned about various educational philosophies. Through my experienced way back
in my school years and when I envision the kind of teacher I want to be, I will have a progressivism
teaching style. I believe that students should be able to have an input in their learning to a certain
subject matter. Together with me and my students should collectively negotiate what we learn in the
classroom. I believe majority of the time should be focused in creating the learning environment.
However, I feel that students should be able to choose specific content of the subject matter or
areas they want to study in a particular class topic. Students need to know how to solve problems
instead of becoming encyclopedias of knowledge. I clearly offer choices and options, vary my
teaching strategies, personalize knowledge by associating the curriculum with real life issues and
problems to gain the focused attention of the students. That educational philosophy were anchored
on the theory that students learn best by doing and active teaching encourages active learning.

Principles in Teaching

SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE TEACHERS: Active Members of Social Institution

Before taking this course, teacher professionalism, to me, meant being knowledgeable, dressing
professionally, speaking and acting in an appropriate way, and teaching the course content to your
students in an effective way. Professionalism is all of that, but it is also so much more. In this course,
I have learned the importance of reflecting on daily lessons, learning through professional
development opportunities, and teachers who are organized and can manage their time efficiently.
It is difficult to sum up professionalism, as it encompasses so much, but to me, a professional
teacher is one who is always striving to learn more and wants to do their very best to provide a
healthy learning environment for their students. Teachers who strive to excel every day all have one
thing in common; they reflect on their teaching.

As an active member of social institutions, my participation helps our society to survive. My family
plays an important role in my personality development and my first exposure to society. My
education taught me skills and knowledge. No matter what our religion, the purpose of this
institution is the same and this is to contribute positively to our society. I'm currently engaged in
banking economic institutions to make a living and support my family. Lastly, our government that
allows citizens to exercise civil rights and liberties.

GLOBAL TEACHERS: MULTICULTURALLY SKILLED

To be called as teacher in the future is already a big challenge for me. How much more to be a global
teacher. It placed greater demands to teachers in today's school. Teachers in multicultural settings
have special educational opportunities and responsibilities. One of the most important task for
educators in the worlds today is to help students to learn about the rich variety of people in our
multicultural world and the important world problems that face our planet. It may sounds really
difficult but teachers always take challenges. As long as we have good interpersonal relationship, we
can clarify our perspective of this multicultural education. And, someday as a 21st century educator I
will model tolerance, acceptance and a wider view with that just our curricula areas, global
awareness, and reflections. I will plan activities with a multicultural framework while making my
classroom a safe and a secure place for my students.

Principles of Teaching Chapter

GLOBAL TEACHERS: TECHNOLOGY AND DIGITAL INNOVATIVE

In the world we live in, technology is literally everywhere and the kids adapt to it more than anyone
else. Unlike teachers, students are being raised in a digital world. For students of all ages, it is
absolutely natural to use technology in every aspect of their lives. This is why digital tools in
classroom are becoming more and more crucial. Traditional methods for teaching are already going
through a transformation to adapt to the needs of 21st-century students and to enhance the
professional practice of teachers. The digital future is literally happening now. Using technology for
education provokes student’s curiosity, boost their engagement, and leads to better learning and
comprehension. These factors are a priority for every effective teacher and today they can be easily
achieved by using digital tools in classroom. Here are some of the latest and greatest inventions in
computers and digital media which can be of great help today: Projectors, Websites and Blogs, Audio
and Video, Computers, Tablets, Mobile Devices and Social Networks. With these tools, innovative
teachers can save time and money because of the easy access to course materials. For students,
they are motivated by computer based, screens and digital materials and technology aided
instruction. Technology is a friend of education and there is no reason to fight this trend. Right on
the contrary, by incorporating digital tools in classroom, you become an effective school leader who
fosters innovation.

TEACHING PROFESSION: CHAPTER 10

The Professional Teachers: Conformers of Legal and Constitutional Mandates

Education is very important in everyone, but not all has the opportunity to finish and earn their
diplomas. To the Filipino, knowledge is acquired through education. Although they generally agree
that education can be obtained inside and outside school, they believe that the primary sources of
knowledge are the schools. Thus, building a strong foundation when it comes to education the
government always there to set a law to make it effective for everyone.
As such, Republic Act No. 4670 otherwise known as “The Magna Carta for Public School Teachers”
was passed into law in view of providing professional rights and safeguards to our public school
teachers in consideration of the exigency and level of difficulty of the exercise of their profession.
However, the said law has which was signed on June 18, 1966 remains untouched for more than half
a century now exhibits weaknesses that hamper the improvement of the social and economic status
and working conditions of our public school teachers. The need for modifications and amendments
to strengthen the law is in order. This bill seeks to amend the aforementioned law to make the said
measure more responsive by expanding public school teachers working rights, strengthening
working protections and safeguards and providing additional incentives for extra-curricular work.

AVOIDING A RUSH TO JUGDEMENT: TEACHER EVALUATION AND TEACHER QUALITY

As I have read the article “Teacher Evaluation and Teacher Quality”, it serve as my eye opener of the
situation about teaching evaluation. This article explores the causes and consequences of the crisis
in teacher evaluation. The primary purpose of teacher evaluation is to improve teaching practice,
which results in increased student achievement. Sad to say that the troubled state of teacher
evaluation is focused on public education. It is said that public education is stiil have this typical
“drive by” evaluations. This means that they only focus the outer part of the teacher like “Is
presentably dressed”, “starts on time”, “room is safe”, and “The lesson occupies the students”.
Which made their evaluation in to squandered. Principals use evaluations to help teachers improve
their performance as rarely as they give unsatisfactory rating regardless of wether their student
learn. It is also said that public education defines teacher quality largely in terms of the credentials
that teacher have earned, rather than on the basis of the quality of the work they do in their
classroom or the results their students achieve.

By knowing and understanding after reading the article and all about teachers evaluation, so sad
that it is half true, because not all public education have this kind of practices, the traditional way of
evaluating a teacher. There are also lots of public education that follows the real process of
evaluating a teacher and that their focused is learner centered. And that I am hoping that these
practice will be also observe to other public education.

I also have come to understand that in order to avoid this method, a comprehensive methods of
evaluating teachers had been promoted. The Teacher Advancement Program (TAP) is a good
example. TAP is a comprehensive program to strengthen teaching through intensive instructional
evaluations, coaching, career ladders, and performance-based compensation, thus increase the
realibility of evaluations. Teachers are more likely to trust, places to grow unlike traditional teacher
evaluations.

With this comprehensive evaluations, it contribute to a much professional atmosphere in schools.

They are valuable regardless of the degree to which they predict student achievement. As a result
they make public school teaching more attractive and much more trusted in terms of a learners
productivity.

Learning Theories And Classroom Practices

Learning theories are one of the foundations of education and influence the climate and
activity within classrooms. They explain how learning occurs and factors that influence learning.
They also afford us variety in pedagogies. The learning theories help to enhance student
development and understanding. The learning theories are behaviorism, constructivism, cognitivism
and humanism

Active learning is a key part of the Constructivism. If the materials are useful and beneficial
to them, they will be likely to master it. Conversely, if the materials are irrelevant, they will be likely
not going to learn it. Student should actively understand the learning materials rather than passively
absorbing and memorizing it. The students should be able to construct their own understanding and
building on what the student already knows. They make connections between new information and
old information.

I would categorize my teaching approach as constructivism approach. I teach my students based

on their prior existing knowledge and gradually build up from there. From what they already known,
I introduced new concepts. Teacher should not just disseminate knowledge to students and students
are like empty “vessel” receives it. Instead, I ask deep questions and give challenging problems to
encourage them to analyze, discuss and brainstorm to find the answers or solutions. This helps them
to construct new knowledge and skills by building on current knowledge and skills. My role is a
facilitator who guides and helps students in their learning. I focus on the active engagement of
students (learner-centered). I gave them the problems and they are required to analyze, synthesize,
and draw conclusions from the information. They generate solutions to problems using creative and
rational thought. They think creatively through imagining new possibilities and thinking logically
through thinking rigorously and methodically. They also demonstrated inquiry or intellectual
curiosity from my thoughtful questions. I always like to use different ways to engage my students.

FIVE PHASES OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Personal and professional development is an important concept that significantly involves

the growth and advancement of an individual. This suggests that every person has
untapped potential and should be able to get more out of life through learning and growing.
Setting measurable goals, overcoming negativity and failures, learning from experience and
becoming better individuals along the way greatly contribute to their growth and
development. People have relied on their unique personal characteristics particularly their
strong points and competencies, to gain advancements in both their personal and
profesional aspects can assist in identifying and reinforcing strengths as well as improving
on weaknesses.

THE CHANGING ROLE OF TEACHER

In this rapid-changing world, as the skills, knowledge and needs of students change, so does the role
of the teacher. Since students spend most of the time with the teacher, teacher often considered as
a guider, mentor, adviser, role model or friend. Apart from knowledge expert, a teacher must
demonstrate positive ethnics and qualities. These qualities can be reflected in his thought, speech
and behavior and students were expected to learn it. A teacher can also share his personal
experiences with students and give assistance, advice, suggestions when the students are facing
personal problems. As quoted by John Dewey "If we teach today's students as we taught yesterdays,
we rob them of tomorrow", because yesterday’s education is no longer effective for tomorrow's \
students. In view of this, the role of teacher must change in order to adapts to the needs of today’s
culture.

In my opinion, teacher should adopt a student-centered approach in the process of teaching.

Teacher provides the materials to students and creates an environment that encourages self-
directed learning. Teacher should become an expert questioner, rather than provider of answers.
Students need to be intellectual literacy and acquired problem-solving skills, instead of solely
memorizing and regurgitating facts. Teacher must engage and direct students to effectively collect,
understanding and synthesize information. Hence, teachers are often known as facilitator, whose
facilitating the learning process. Therefore, teacher must equip himself with different pedagogical
approaches and methodology in using different medium to deliver the subject content effectively.
Teachers need to adapt the content to the learners based on multiple intelligences and using
different teaching styles to meet the different needs of learners. Teaching techniques that can be
incorporated into classroom including active learning, blended learning, problem-based learning,
collaborative learning and inquiry guided learning. Therefore, I need to constantly upgrade myself to
be an effective teacher.
