"LEARNING MODULE AS INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS"

This topic was reported by Ms. Cheene Rose Cayabo. According to her, learning module was the most accepted instructional materials. It is one of the good learning materials in teaching. Why? It is important because it serves as their guide and study materials towards their lessons. All the information that was needed to their study is present. All have to do on the part of the students is to follow and comprehend what are contents in the module. As a teacher, if were using this type of instructional materials we need to guide our students because they are some topics that were hard for them to

understand. We need to have further explanation about the different topics. We should not rely on the module. Module was one of the instruments that the students have the concrete materials to be study and also have the notes for the lessons that we will need to study in advance.

                In making module there are criteria that will need to follow in order to have a good instructional module. Without these criteria, we cannot make a good and understandable module. And always remember the components in making module.

"POSTCRIPT-SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON DEMONSTRATION"

What is more applicable to learn a lot a little or a little a lot? These questions that arise remind us what are the does and don’ts in having a demonstration.

           

In having demonstration we should not be hurry in presenting. Why? There is a tendency that the students cannot follow what you are talking about because you are too fast. The best thing for that was present it step by step and enough that the students can cope up. If you are too fast with your demonstration, you have a lot of topics that the students will be able to learn. But, you are too fast the learning’s of the students will be useless. It is what we called you have learned a lot a little.

Even though, the students can learn few topics but it is profitable because you have demonstrated it into a proper way. The students can master and they will be able to demonstrate and perform it all by their selves.

In addition with that as a teacher you should be aware of what is happening in your class. You should be a good observant and sensitive enough with the behavior and movements of your students. Always bear on your mind that your students/learners have zero knowledge and skill in what you have demonstrating in the class.

"Demonstration Method, Lecture and Meta-cognition"

This topic was reported by Ms. Arcelyn Villaver, there are three method of teachings that she discussed there are the demonstration method, lecture method and Meta-cognition Teaching method.

                These are the methods that usually used by the teachers. In selecting our methods in teaching we should put into our mind that this method was suited to our lessons and can really understand what we are talking about.

                As a future teacher, the best  method that was suitable to used was the demonstration method. Why? It is because we are teaching computer subject. And therefore, it is more on demonstration. In applying these method consider the (5) five steps in demonstration methods which are the purposing, planning, demonstration proper, executing and evaluation.It is one of  the good method  that in order the students to  acquire learning. Remember that in using the method don’t be too fast, and be sensitive on the behavior  and movements of your students as you presenting your demonstration

Lecture Method is the old type of method use in teaching, in other words,  this method is a traditional wherein the teacher’s task is to discuss his/her topic to the class. During this period the students usually got bored. As a teacher we should find techniques that we can catch the attention our students and they will be eager to listen while you are having your discussion.

Meta-Cognition is a process which includes planning, monitoring one’s own thoughts; problem solving, making decisions and evaluating one’s thought process. It is beyond our critical thinking. As a teacher we should have a broad knowledge regarding our lessons that in able the students can understand what you are talking about. Because if you don’t mastered your topic and you are hesitant the way you teach. Therefore, the students will never believe you. Remember that you are teacher not students.

"Methods of Teaching"

    This topic was reported by Mr. Junamel Nuñez. A method of teaching comprises the principles and methods used for instruction. The choice of teaching method, it always depends on the information that you will teach to them. The methods that are suitable to the lessons and also the method that we used to the learners that they can easily understand the lessons that we tackle.

    It has a great impact to the students if we can used the best method that in able the students to acquired learning’s and knowledge from the topic and the same time at the teachers. There are three methods that were reported these are the inductive method, deductive method and the project method. Inductive is defined from the specific to general while the deductive method is from the general to the specific. The project method is significant, practical unit of activity of a problematic nature, planned and carried to completion by the student in a nature manner and involving the use of physical materials to complete the unit of experience. The good example of this method was the science Investigatory project. It is a challenging on the part of the students because they are the one who will discover and find ways on how to find a solution on the specific problems.

"Drill Lesson"

    This topic was discussed by Ms. Ruelene Cabatuan. The drill lesson is intended for automatization of certain facts, information, habit, attitudes and skills to fix association for permanency or to perfect a certain degree a particular skill. Therefore, as a teacher we should not be contented that were having only a discussion on the topics that we had. Instead, having a drill lesson in order the students can be more interested in your topics. Aside from that they can learn through their own experiences in which they can apply the learning’s that they had from the discussion. Remember that in doing this drill we should apply the four guidelines which are the motivation, focalization, repetition and attention and application. It is a big help on the side of the teachers it is their technique on how the students to be more participative from their class discussion.

The application lesson refers to the type of learning instruction that gives the learners the opportunity to relate, express and apply what they have learned. As a teacher, it is your choice what kind of application that you may apply to the students and application that the students can gain interest and they will be challenge. Either it is individual partner or by group. And an activity that was related and covered on your discussion.

"Types of Lessons"

There are several types of lessons namely the developmental lesson, supervised study lesson, review lesson and appreciation lesson. These types of lessons were reported by Mr. Ghei El Bungabong and Frelyn Salimbagat. From the lesson I’ve learned that developmental lesson is a type of learning in which a new idea that is presented and learned is developed. And it has two types the formal and informal, the formal developmental lesson was the deductive and inductive method. The informal is using the method of conversational approach in which teacher and learner exchange ideas through question and answer. The supervised study lesson is a type of learning that is effective under the direction and guidance of the teacher, this type of lesson is most applicable in activities that needs supervision of the teacher example the laboratory activities and the group study and the group discussion.

Appreciation lesson is designed to instruct the class to understand, appreciate and enjoy something. It is important that the teacher could make this type of lessons because it is the way on how the students will appreciate the lessons and they can find joy while having the different activities.

Review lesson was usually happened before the new lesson will discussed into the class. Why? It is the time to retain in the minds of the students the lessons that was already discussed. Then, the students can relate it to the new lessons that will be going to discuss.

"Taxonomy on Educational Objectives"

According to the reporter Mr. Vic Onod taxonomy was defined as the practice or principle of classification while objectives were known as goal or purpose.

There are three classifications of objectives these are the cognitive domain, affective domain and psychomotor domain. These three domains are very important in learning process of our students. When we say cognitive domain it emphasizes on the intellectual learning and problem solving tasks. There are terms that are appropriate on this domain.

The second domain was effective domain it contains the behavior and objectives that have some emotional overtones.it compromises the likes and dislikes, attitudes, values and beliefs. And the last domain was psychomotor domain it is more on the application of the lessons. It is merely on the performance of the students.

The three domains that was mention above should present in our objectives especially on making lesson plans or even on the syllabus. There are terms that re appropriate on making different domains. If we apply these domains it has a great advantage for us and also on the students. And the teacher can gain techniques on how they can handle their students and also how they can impart their knowledge to them.
