My Observation

Your concrete experience, enabled you to describe, what you are as a person. The qualities reflect who you are. Make a similar observation of ten active teachers in a school. Your observation will be done through a survey and will produce empirical evidences. This observation method will enhance your skills to collect data, like when you doing research.

You will be provided with a Survey Checklist for you to reproduce 10 copies for your 10 respondent teachers. (They are on the last page of this workbook). Make proper request from this teacher who will become your respondents.

Tabulate the results in the matrix found below:

The Observed information

Procedure:

1. To get the average, add the scores of the ten teachers and divide by 10.2. Look at the legend in your own checklist, and determine the discipline the description of the

average.3. Study the result.

Questions:

1. Which of the twelve attributes is the highest among the teachers?

2. Which of the twelve attributes is the lowest among the teachers?

3. How many teachers are low in emotional stability?

4. How many teachers are high in compassion?

5. What six attributes are found to be strong among the teachers?

6. What six attributes are found to be weak among the teachers?

7. What interesting observations can you spot from the other data not asked?

Use the information from your personal results and those of the ten teachers in making your reflections that follow.

My Reflections

After studying the results of your teacher survey, write down your reflections on the following situations reported to have happened in the school setting.

1. Why are some teachers reported to have bumped a learner’s head on the wall or made a child swallow scratch paper or pencil filings? What attribute do you think is low for this teacher?

I think the attribute low for such teachers is emotional stability. A teacher low in emotional stability tends to be easily provoked in anger and get controlled by his/her emotions that he/she ends up hurting his/her student/.

2. Why do you think some teachers are better loved by students than others?

I think it’s because of how the teachers treat their students both inside and outside the classroom. Based on my experience , those affable with happy disposition teachers are better loved by students that those teachers who are very strict and seemingly unapproachable in aura.

3. If you were to choose, which personal attributes should all teachers possess? Why?

For me, all of the personal attributes being rated in the questionnaire must be possessed by the teachers. The reason is that I think those 12 attributes are the ones that teachers ought to posses in order to fully play their part as efficient teacher.

My Affirmed Concepts

After reflecting on this episode and recalling my previous subjects, I have realized that there are several concepts in the teaching profession about personal attributes. I learned that has been affirmed and confirmed. Examples of which are given below:

My Concrete Experience

This activity will enable you to ask yourself about the different future practices or actions that you will do in teaching. You may not have it yet, but if you become a teacher what do would be your response to each item? Your answer will identify what your philosophy of education is all about.

Answer each item in the Survey Questionnaire yourself very honestly. There is neither right nor wrong answer for each item. After you have answered each item, record your answers and look at the interpretation at the back of this work text.

After you have answered the questionnaire yourself, you are to ask two teachers to do the same activity.

WHAT IS YOUR PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION?(Based on Sadker and Sadker, 1998

Teachers Schools and Society, 2nd Ed)

Each of us has a philosophy of education or asset of fundamental beliefs regarding how we think schools should be run. What is your philosophy of education? To find out, read each of the following statements about the nature of education. Decide whether you agree or disagree with each statement. Use the following numbers to express your response:

4- Agree Strongly 2- Disagree3- Agree 1- Disagree strong

___________1. The student learning should be centered on basic subjects as reading, writing, history, math, and science.___________2. The school should focus on the great thinkers of the past.___________3. Many students learn best by engaging in the real-world activities rather than reading.___________4. The students should be permitted to determine their own curriculum.___________5. Subject matter is taught effectively when it is broken down into small parts.___________6. the school subjects should be determined by information that is essential for all

students to know.___________7. Schools, above all, should develop student’s abilities to think deeply, analytically, and

creatively; than develop their social skills or provide them with a useful body of knowledge about the ever-changing world.

___________8. Teaching should prepare students for analyzing and solving the types of problems they will face outside the classroom.

___________9. Reality is determined by each individual’s perceptions. There is no objective and universal reality.

___________10. People are shaped much more by their environment than by their genetics dispositions or the exercise of their free will.____________11. Students should not be promoted from one grade to the next until they have read and

mastered certain key material.____________12. An effective education is not aimed at the immediate needs of the students or

society.____________13. The curriculum of a school should be built around the personal experiences and needs

of the students.____________14. Students, who do not want to study much, should not be required to do so.____________15. Programmed learning is an effective method of teaching information____________16. Academic rigor is an essential component of education. ____________17. All students, regardless of ability, should study more or less the same curriculum.____________18. Art classes should focus primarily on individual expression and creativity.____________19. Effective learning is unstructured and informal.____________20. Students learn best through reinforcement.____________21. Effective schools assign a substantial amount of homework.____________22. Education should focus on the discussion of timeless questions such as “What is

Beauty?” or what is Truth?”____________23.Since students learn effectively through social interaction, school should plan for

substantial social interaction in their curricula.____________24. The purpose of the school is to help students understand themselves and find the

meaning of their existence.____________25.Frequent objective testing is the best way to determine what students know.____________26. Countries must become more competitive economically with other countries hence

schools must bolster their academic requirements to facilitate such competition.____________27. Students must be taught to appreciate learning primarily for its own sake because it

will help them in their careers.____________28. Schools must place more emphasis on teaching about the concerns of minorities and

women.____________29. Each person has free will to develop as he or she sees fit.____________30. Reward students well for learning and they will remember and be able to apply what

they learned, even if do not understand why the information worth of knowing.

____________31. Philippine schools should attempt to instill traditional Filipino values in students.____________32. Teacher guided discovery of profound truth is a key method of teaching students.____________33. Students should be active participants in the learning process.____________34. There are no external standards of beauty. Beauty is what an individual decides it to be.____________35. We can place a lot of faith in our schools and teachers to determine which student’s

behaviors are acceptable and which are not.____________36. Schools must provide students with a firm grasp of basic facts regarding the books,

people, and events that have shaped the Filipino heritage.____________37. Philosophy is ultimately at least as practical a subject to study as is computer science.____________38. Teachers must stress for students the relevance of what they are learning for their

lives outside, as well as inside, the classroom.____________39. It is more important for a student to develop a positive self concept then to learn

specific concept.___________40. Learning is more effective when students are given frequent tests to determine what they have learned.
