PLANNING FOR TEACHING
During planning for teaching, teachers followed a syllabus per unit given by the IMYC as a guide for their class where all the activities, questions, topic to be discussed and what you are going to do are already there. Teachers will only formulate strategies and provide more activities out of the given Curriculum document where they can gave much more effort in order to make my teaching an effective. Kinderstation Junior High School is implementing a lesson report for every unit. Giving a report of what happened and what students learned in a whole unit.
PREPARING LESSONS AND MATERIALS
First, I observed students’ behavior and characteristics so that I will know what kind of activities I will use in teaching. I observed that Miss Dyra (my cooperating teacher gave herself some overtime after 3 P.M. class just to prepare her lesson and materials. there is no such problem for the materials where it is all provided by the school. Kinderstation Junior High School is not using lesson plan but in the case of my cooperating teacher, she made a lesson notebook where she wrote her topic to be discussed in a bullet form just to have a guide in the lesson for her class. They are using instructional materials such as PowerPoint presentation, videos, cards, pictures, materials for the activities.
TEACHING IN THE CLASS
I usually observed the class of Miss Dyra as my cooperating teacher. She started her class with a prayer – and a greetings. In order to make my students ready to her class, the teacher asks some question as a sort of review. To make her class interesting by throwing some questions that make her students head scratching. Implementing a High Order Thinking Skills questions. After motivating my students, she formally discussed the lecture about a specific topic and relate those questions to the topic that is being discussed. Giving them an activity that they could apply to their own lives. After that the students were evaluated through assessment such as making poster, drawing and oral recitation.
MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION
Kinderstation Junior High school focuses in measuring students' progress posing a set of questions:
1. What did the student learned at the end of the task?
2. How well does the student perform?
3. What does the student needs to learn?
A variety of procedures used to obtain information about student performance includes the pencil test as well as the extended responses and performances of authentic tasks. They are given different activities to develop cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. Such as simple worksheets, musical performance, dramatization, role playing and giving art works in posters.
