1. Urie Bronfenbrenner's bio-ecological model presents the learner within the context of
layers of nation ship systems that make up the learners’ environment. The layers are:
The model helps the picture looked into every aspect in the learners environment to
understand his behavior. That features important role is not to replace what is missing at
home (If any), but to work so that the school becomes an environment that welcomes
and nurtures families. The teacher works to create a partnership with the family and
community to bring out the best in every learner.

The Learner
1) Make a general observation of the learner. Describe him or her in each of the domains
of development:
physical-body build and height (thin, chubby, underweight, overweight), level of
physical activity (fast, slow, lethargic, active, etc.) The learner is physically fit
and healthy. He is also very active in school.
social interaction with teachers and classmates (loner, shy, sociable, friendly,
gets into fights, like by others, etc.) He is very friendly and approachable to
everyone around him.
emotional moods, temperament, cries easily, loses temper, happy, shows
enthusiasm, excited, indifferent etc. He is a very strong independent man. He
doesn’t show weaknesses in front of others.
cognitive (appears to understand lessons, copes with the lessons, excels, lags
behind, shows reasoning skills, turn in assignments, and requirements, etc.) He
can easily pick up the lesson in other subjects but find it hard to the
subjects with numbers.
Interview the Teacher
1) What are the most noticeable characteristics of the learner? (emotional disposition,
behavior and discipline, sense of responsibility, study habits, academic performance,
relationship with peers, relationship with adults, social adjustment) He is easy to get
along with and he quickly understand what is being taught in class. There are
times that he is late in passing but he’ll make sure that his activities are
complete.
2) How does the teacher communicate with the parents? how often? what do they
discuss? How do they decide on the best course of action to resolve issues or
problems? They don’t talk much with the learner’s parents because the teacher
doesn’t have trouble with the student either.
3) How does the teacher utilize resources in the community to support the teaching-
learning process? How does the teacher work with the community to meet the
needs of the learners? I'm making an effort to serve the needs of the pupils by
going to them. I frequently approach them for assistance with school
assignments like Brigada Eswkela as well. In order to fully use their abilities and
talents and to holistically encourage the students, I am also setting aside times
for reading and writing sessions (with the assistance and consent of authorities
like the barangay captain and the school administration).

Conclusions
Write your conclusions after you have analyzed the impact of the school and the home on the
learner’s development. The questions in the Your Analysis portion of this learning Episode can help
you.
I conclude that the school and home contributes a great impact in developing the
cognitive, affective, psychomotor and to the total personality of the pupils. Hence, the
learning of the child begins at home. The child learns values, good attitude and
discipline. However, school plays a vital role in molding the child. Since the school is
made for the purpose of developing physical, social, emotional-moral and cognitive
aspect of the learner. The total development of the child depends in school as well as
from the teacher.
Recommendations
Write your recommendations.
For the parents, they are responsible in guiding and disciplining their children. They
must be open with their children. They should ask them about their study and give
encouragement to focus and study hard for them to become successful in life. For the
teachers, the use of technologies is a great to enhance learning which they impart to
the students to have a good quality of teaching.

Episode 4 Learner Diversity: The Community and Home
Environment
Your findings and recommendations in the learner development profile will help you
answer the following questions here.
1) From your home. Visit and interview. What do you think? Is this style of parenting experience
by the teacher? Explain your answer.
From the home I visited and interviewed, they practice the authoritative style of
parenting. Parents achieve a good blend. They are firm yet loving. They treat
children with respect and warmth; make children understand consequences of
their behavior.
2) Relating your data with what you learned from child development, what family factors do you
think contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of the learner in school?
The family factors that contribute to the development and over-all adjustment of
the learner in school are first, the emotional moral development; on how the
learners are nurtured by his parents, second is the financial setting, and last is the
cultural background of the family.
3) Does the communication between the homes-school have an effect on the learner? If yes,
what are these effects?
Learner can absorb the way they communicate in their home, they can bring in this
in school which reflects how the learner nurtured and raised by his parents at
home because I believe that “education begins at home”.
4) How can the teacher partner with the community to contribute to the development and
learning of the students? Who are the people or which institutions can the teacher tap to seek
advice regarding the development and learning of students?
I think the child's family and the barangay can provide the teacher with guidance
on the child's development. the Chairman of the barangay as well as the clinic. This
group of individuals and institution may support a child's learning as well as
growth. While the clinic concentrates on health development, family is the perfect
people to seek guidance regarding to your child.

1) Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did you experience? How did
it affect you?
SHOW Your Learning Artifacts
In my own experiences, the type of parenting style is authoritative style. They
have a clear and reasonable expectations and limitations for us. For instance, my mother
would let me play and go with my friends outside but never too far from our house so that
she can see us easily and to make sure we are safe. She also encourages us to participate in
any school activities that depends on our skills and interests. She always told us the
golden rule saying “Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you”.
2) As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school collaboration? How can you
work well with the parents? How can you help them? How can they help you?
As a future teacher, I will build a good working relationship to the parents of my
students. Their collaboration would be a great help regards to home-school link. I will
make sure that they will do their job in providing the needs of their children. I can work
well with the parents through consulting the behavior of the child in their house. I can
help them through reporting the child’s progress and performance in school. A positive
relationship between parents and me as a teacher will be a stepping stone toward our
success. In turn, I will become a better teacher and second parent as parents are becoming
more skilled at nurturing and raising their children.
