Lesson 11

Making the Most of Community Resources and Fieldtrips

                            Fieldtrips are activities that requires efforts and of course,money.It's not just some simple school gathering or something that's we should not take it for granted.When we're in a fieldtrip,we should watch everything that our eyes can see,listen to everything that gives useful informations and participate and cooperate in any activity during the fieldtrip.By doing these things we can say that our money we used for the fieldtrip won't be a waste and we can assure ourselves that we did enjoy the trip.

Lesson 10:Demonstration in Teaching

Lesson 10

Demonstration in Teaching

          Demonstrations in teaching is very useful during discussions for the reason that demonstrating the topic can help the students or learners picture out the idea or concept of the said topic.Making interesting and attractive demonstration will be more effective because it will catch the attention of the learners and they can be focused in the discussion.Effective presentation of the topic will also be necessary because learners ,especially on lower grades will get confused or can't comprehend well if the demonstration is not well delivered.As for us students,using demonstrations will help us during practice teaching because it can lessen our effort in talking.

Lesson 9:Teaching with Dramatized Experiences

Lesson 9

Teaching with Dramatized Experiences

                 Dramatization is essentially a process of communication,in which both participants and spectators are engaged,where a creative reaction takes place and a sharing of ideas.Dramatic experiences range from the formal plays, pageants to less formal tableau,pantomime,puppets and role- playing.Teaching while using these ranges of dramatic experiences is very useful in letting the students experience the learning and apply it on their own.They can appreciate the knowledge they will acquire because they can experience it and they can share it with others.Dramatic experiences in teaching are essential for making the students understand well the topic.

Lesson 8:Contrived Experiences

Lesson 8

Contrived Experiences

          Contrived experiences are the edited copies or reality and are used as substitutes for real things when it is not practical or not possible to bring or do the real thing in the classroom.Contrived experiences has various types.These are the models,mock-ups,specimens,objects and simulations.Models are reproduction of real thing in a small scale,or large scale,or exact size but made of synthetic materials.Mock-ups are arrangements of real device or associated devises displayed in such a way that representation of reality is created.Specimens are any individual or item considered of a group, class or whole that represents the real thing.Objects include artifacts displayed in a museum or objects displayed in exhibits.Simulations,on the other hand,are representations of a manageable real event in which the learner is an active participant engaged in learning a behavior or in applying previous skills or knowledge.

          Contrived experiences are very useful in the learning process because they provide things that are not available in the environment or inside the classroom .These things are used as substitutes for us to study or examine.Because these things are not available in the environment,we need copies to be able to study them.

Lesson 7:Direct purposeful experience and Beyond

Lesson 7

Direct purposeful Experience and Beyond

Is a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices, and organization for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating, and managing solution to those problems, involved in all aspects of human learning.Direct, purposeful experiences are the concrete experiences that make up the foundation of our learning. These are the rich experiences that our senses bring from which we construct ideas, concepts, and generalization give meaning and order to our lives.  It is the application of scientific findings in our method, process or procedure of working in the field trip of education in order to effect learning. It embraces curriculum and instructional design, learning environment, theories of teaching-learning.Very useful tool in teaching for it uses learnings that can be applied directly on a certain situation or problem.

Lesson 6:Using and Evaluating Instructional Materials

Lesson 6

Using and Evaluating Instructional Materials

               Instructional materials are very important tools used by teachers especially by those unexperienced and novice teachers during practice and actual teaching.It is very important to evaluate first these instructional materials to make sure that the lessons to be discussed will follow the proper process and so that the students as well as the teacher will not get confused during the discussion.The materials should be checked well to make sure that it follows what the government,for example the Dep.Ed requires.Proper usage of these instructional materials takes place after these materials are well evaluated.If that's the case then,efforts of sharing and expressing ideas through lessons during discussion with the use of well evaluated instructional materials won't be a waste for the reason that you can attain with higher percentage your outcomes from the students.

Lesson 5:The Cone Of Experience

Lesson 5

The Cone Of Experience

The Cone was originally developed by Edgar Dale in 1946 and was intended as a way to describe various learning experiences. The cone is based on a relationship of various educational experiences base to reality.The cone is a structure to measure hoe will did the students response to the method used by the teacher in teaching.It helps analyzing how well did students learn from the very concrete to the abstract part of the discussion.This cone will help us recognized if the students did understand the most important part of the lesson.It is a very helpful tool for the transmission of learning.
