Activity 4 – Knowing More About the Learners
1. Gender
Who are more active in the class?
During my observation, I noticed that the boys were more active and participative in class
discussions and activities. They often volunteer to answer and move around more during
games.
How did the teacher utilize this behavior of the learners in facilitating learning?
The teacher used their activeness by assigning them as group leaders or helpers in class
tasks. She also gave them activities that involved movement and teamwork to keep them
engaged and focused.
2. Age
What technique did the teacher employ to suit the age of the learners?
Since the learners are in Grade 3, the teacher used games, songs, and storytelling to catch
their attention. She also used visual aids and real-life examples to make lessons easier for them
to understand.
3. Religion
Were the learners’ differences in religion taken into consideration by the teacher in
planning her activities? How?
Yes, the teacher respected the different religions of the students by avoiding topics or activities
that might be sensitive to one’s belief. She focused on values that are common to all, such as
respect, kindness, and honesty.
4. Socio-Economic Status
Why should the teacher know the socio-economic status of her students before planning
her lesson?
The teacher needs to know this so she can plan lessons and activities that all students can
participate in. It helps her choose materials and projects that are affordable and fair to everyone,
avoiding those that may cause embarrassment or pressure.
5. Level of Intelligence
Is it important to consider the intelligence level of the learners in planning the class’
activities? Why? Why not?
Yes, it is important because students have different learning levels and abilities. Knowing their
intelligence level helps the teacher prepare activities that suit everyone—challenging enough for
fast learners but still understandable for those who need more support.

Activity 5 – Reflections
1. Think of the teacher who influenced you most. How did he/she help you with your
needs (physical, social, emotional, intellectual)?
The teacher who influenced me the most was my Grade 5 adviser. She was not just a teacher,
but also like a second parent to us. She always made sure everyone was doing well, not only in
academics but also in our personal lives. She helped me build confidence and motivated me to
participate more in class. When I struggled in some subjects, she patiently explained the
lessons until I understood. Emotionally, she made me feel valued and capable, which helped me
become more confident and responsible.
2. Were the experiences you had similar or different from what you have observed?
Explain your answer.
My experiences were quite similar to what I have observed during my field study. Just like my
teacher before, the cooperating teachers I observed were also very patient, approachable, and
dedicated. They made sure to meet the needs of every learner and encouraged everyone to
participate in class. However, I also noticed that today’s learners are more active and expressive
compared to our time as students, which means teachers now need more creative and
engaging strategies to maintain attention.
3. What are the positive and negative reasons why you cannot forget your teacher?
Positive:
I cannot forget my teacher because she inspired me to love learning and made the classroom a
safe and happy place. She always believed in me, even when I doubted myself. Her kindness,
patience, and dedication became my standard of what a good teacher should be.
Negative:
Sometimes she was strict and gave us a lot of work, which I found tiring back then. But now, I
realize that her strictness helped me become more disciplined and responsible, so I’m still
thankful for that.
4. How did these reasons affect you as a learner?
These reasons really shaped me into the kind of learner I am today. Because of my teacher’s
kindness and patience, I learned to value education more and to believe in myself even when
things get hard. Her strictness taught me the importance of discipline and doing my best in
everything I do. I became more motivated, responsible, and confident in expressing my ideas.
Overall, her influence made me realize that learning is not just about grades—it’s about growing
as a person.
