WEEK 4
This week, a student teacher took charge of the Araling Panlipunan class. Since the periodical test is coming, a review lecture and short quiz were done. The student teacher made the class read their notes for a few minutes before answering the quiz. The student teacher remained by the front table while the students’ seats are not spread apart. On the other hand, the student teacher’s instructional materials made use of Manila paper filled with texts.
The student teacher started the class by making the students read their notes for a few minutes before taking the quiz. This strategy is an effective way of reviewing previous lessons and refreshing students' memories. However, it would have been better if students were guided on which topics to focus on. Another problem that I have noticed is when the students answered the quiz, the student teacher remained at the front table. Adding to the factor of students’ chairs not being spread apart, those at the back cheated. Meanwhile, during the checking of the test, the student teacher didn’t provide a rationalization. Rationalization would have helped the students understand the topics better and corrected any misconceptions they might have had. On the other hand, the student teacher’s instructional materials during the short lecture made use of Manila paper filled with texts. While this is an affordable and accessible option, it can be challenging for students to read large blocks of text from a distance. The student teacher could have used visual aids such as diagrams, and charts.

The session reminded me of the things I have learned as a preservice teacher. It is important to practice the best possible strategies for your students to have a meaningful learning experience. Review sessions can be made more fun if we utilize games or other creative methods. From this experience, I am hoping that someone will give me constant feedback on my performance as an intern so that I can really contribute to student growth and success.
