REFLECTION ON CLASSROOM OBSERVATION

For the first three days of our stay in Munting Ilog National High School (MINHS) we were given time to adjust by letting us observed the class that we will be handling. This phase in practice teaching was very important. I have learned how students differ from sections A to D in terms of classroom management, behavior and participation in Math class. I have also learned how my cooperating teacher handled each class, how he adjust his teaching to meet his students’ capabilities.
Each section has its own need. Section A was very active. They tried to compete for the teacher’s attention by being the first one to answer. The challenge here was to let all students recite in equal frequency. They were able to

They were given a big classroom. The problem is that they do not know how to maintain its cleanliness. I can see them while they are cleaning and only a few students actually do the cleaning. During my first observation there, although they know that there is someone observing them, their noise was too much. They needed constant teacher intervention just to be quiet. During recitation, only five students are keen on reciting. Others were too shy but when the teacher asks them, they were able to answer correctly. Just like Section C, section D was also given a big room. Even if I am just starting to observe, I do not want to think what I will go through this section. They cannot clean their room properly all by themselves, they cannot even pick the trashes on the floor. The teacher needed to remind them that they should maintain the cleanliness of their room. Their noise was even more unbearable than the other section. Most of the boys here are not listening to the discussion. If in section C, there are five students dominating the recitation, here there is only one. I can sense from the very first time she answered that she is a very bright student. I wonder why she was not on the first section for she was really good. She is the only one who wanted to answer every time the teacher post a problem in front. Other students did not feel the need to

    Doing clinical observations are very important because it gives a change to see student and teacher interactions first hand and get to see how well a student is responding. During my observations at Biddeford Intermediate School, I got the change to shadow an Ed. Teach in a life skills room. This was a great opportunity for me because it was a chance to see another kind of intervention done in the special education department. I have done many observations with an occupational therapist, and they have always been in lighting and very educational, but to visit a life skills room gave me more perspective on the special education department as a whole.…

    On my first day of observing Mrs. Albita’s 4th grade classroom, I first noticed how she selected the student that would write the objective for the day. Mrs. Alba has a jar with popsicle sticks that contain the names of all the students in her class. She selects one stick and that student is responsible for writing the class objective correctly. First the student has to listen to the teacher carefully. Next, the student writes down what he/she heard.…

    Throughout the course of my five days at the SAHETI primary school, I found myself astonished at various activities that are done throughout the day. Through the course of my practical, I was given a Grade two class to observe and I unquestionably discovered a recently developed love for that age group. I was always adamant from the first time I knew I wanted to become a teacher that I wanted to teach Grade one’s, but my thoughts have definitely evolved. During the course of my observing I was more than willing to help with various activities such as marking, doing spelling tests with the children, as well as helping them with any difficulties they were having with their work. I have gained a lot of experience after helping out with the activities and my knowledge for teaching has grown immensely.…

    It was something I did not plan for. For instance in the listening micro lesson, some of them asked questions or asked me to rewind the audio file while they were supposed to be listening to it and do not disturb their colleagues. I have learned that I have to put some rules from the beginning of the session. For instance, I should tell students to write down their questions and wait till the end of the audio file. Besides, these like-real situations helped me to be more comfortable standing up in front of…
