My Observation Report:

Name of School Visited: Brother Martin Simpson Laboratory School

Name of Resources Teacher: Mr. Jade Soler Date of Visit: November 22, 2013

How do the varying social interactions help attain the vision-mission of the college?

• Student-to-student interaction pattern

When students are interacting with their classmates, you can really see that they know each other because they call their classmates with their names. If they don’t know the answer of the question given by their teacher, the other one will help. Students are naturally talkative. They even talk nonsense things which are not part of the discussion. They usually talk about their assignments, quizzes and others.

• Student-to-teacher interaction pattern

In terms of student to teacher interaction, respect is present and you can really see that in their actions and on how they will approach their teachers. Students call them “miss” or “sir” or “teacher”, especially when they have something to ask, to request or to clarify something. They were polite to their teachers for they greeted them even outside their respective rooms. They do believe on what their teacher told them to do.

• Teacher-to-school head interaction pattern

Teachers were really respectful to their school head. They always bear into their minds that the person in front of them has the higher rank than them and also he/she is older than them. When they went to the office of the school head, they knock and greeted first before entering the office. The way they approach their school head is appropriate in their position.

• Student-to-non-teaching personnel pattern

The students were really considerate and respectful in terms of communicating with the non-teaching personnel. The interaction was great sinced students treated them well and fairly regardless of their position. When they met a non-teaching personal they called them “ate” or “kuya” when it is older than them. In the canteen, when they need to buy something they usually wait for their turn and asked them in respectful manner.

• Teacher-to-teacher interaction pattern

For teacher-to-teacher interaction, you can really see in them the value of professionalism. They called each other sir, ma’am, teacher or miss. As I observed, they are really comfortable with each other and they even teased each other. They treated each other fairly. They even exchanged greetings when they cross roads and you can see that respect is always present.

Enrichment Activity

Create a scenario where any of the above interactions occur in the school. Make a script of their dialogue, bearing in mind the school vision-mission.

Mariel a grade- 8 student took her lunch break in the auditorium. Sinced she was done eating her lunch, she planned to scan and studied her previous lessons. Suddenly, one of her classmates sat beside her. Her classmate asked for a favor if she could borrow her notes about their previous lesson sinced she was absent at that time.

Lianne: Hi Mariel.

Mariel: Hello Lianne.

Lianne: Can I ask you a favor? Can I borroe your notes about your discussion last meeting?

Mariel: Yah sure. Here, take a look at my notes.

Lianne: Thanks Mariel.

Mariel: Your welcome Lianne. Look!Sir Jade is coming. Approach him.

Lianne: Okay, wait. Just a second Mariel. I’ll be right back.

Mariel: Okay. I’ll wait.

After 3 minutes, Lianne came back and happily telling Mariel that Sir Jade understood her.

Based on the vision of the school stated above, the part of the school’s vision that relates to the intentions of their curriculum is, they provide the learners opportunities to acquire knowledge, develop the students skills and abilities, exercise the learner’s critical and logical decision-making as an active member of their society by giving and providing them different activities and programs that are relevant.

Brother Martin Simpson Laboratory School, is a school for students who are financially unstable who have the desire to study and accomplish thier goals. Also, the school did not focus on the development of cognitive aspect of the student but as well as physical, social and spiritual aspect.

Describe what school activities promote the following interactions.

• Social

In this, the students would be able to join any clubs that they want that would really help them in their studies and academics. Brother Martin Simpson Laboratory School also conduct tutorials to the students that will really help improve the performance of the students.

Your Insights

Curriculum is the planned interaction of students with instructional content, materials, resources, and processes for evaluating the attainment of educational objectives. The curriculum is aligned with vision-mission statement of the school that is made possible by the calendar of activities that the school implemented.

Knowing this fact, it is big privilege for me as an education student because the teachers

especially the school heads could not do things right away just because they want it, but rather teachers and all people that involve must implement activities that should be alligned with their vision-mission statement.

As I go through with my field study at Brother Martin Simpson Laboratory School, I realized that in making some activities, it should be aligned or based with the vision and mission of the school in order for the teachers to attain the objectives and goals they’ve created. In addition, the teacher and the school heads with their principal should implement different activities that will reflect and relate to their vision and mission so that it will be realized.

LEARNING ENVIRONMENT SUBJECT MATTER COVERED

LIBRARY AND/OR INTERNET RESOURCES

The teaching process was conducted in a conducive learning classroom. The classroom has a wide windows that would allow the air to pass through the whole classroom.

Having a conducive classroom setting in the teaching-learning process in very important and it is really necessary to consider. If teachers consider the environment where learning takes place then it is one way of saying that it is a learner-centered curriculum. Teachers are responsible in giving different activities to address the needs of the student and should be met at the end of the instruction.

“ Pokus ng Pandiwa”

In selecting the subject matter content the teacher use some of its criteria. The teacher make sure that the subject matter is self-sufficient to his students by giving them various activities and the teacher also develops and considers the three domains. The subject matter is significant to the life of the students for they can apply it to different situations in their everyday living. And also the subject matter is learnability for the students for it is really applicable in everyone’s life.

Book:

The curriculum principles that were observed in selecting the learning activities, instructional materials and assessment were scope and sequence.

Discuss the Principle/s?

The curriculum principles are scope and sequence. In scope, according to Tyler in Ornstein (2004), scope does not only develop the cognitive but also the affective and psychomotor domain. When we will go back to the lesson objectives and the content, it really develop the three domains of the learners. Second, is the sequence of the topic. The topic is discuss according to simple to complex learning and also to whole to part learning and it is discuss one by one.

Your Analysis:

Why do teachers need to know about the curriculum design?

The teacher needs to know about the curriculum design because they were the ones who are responsible in planning and implementing the topic. It also provides clear relationships between the different elements of curriculum which are the objectives, contents, activities and evaluation. The teacher is the curriculum designer, curriculum implementer as well as the curriculum evaluator. Through their knowledge about curriculum design, the teacher would be able to teach the subject matter/topic in an organize way that would lead to meaningful learning.
