My Analysis:

1.    Did the board display design reflect the likes / interests of its target audience? Why? Why not?

Yes, I think so, because the students made this board display and they are the one who designed it. It is their concept and idea. And one thing more, the displays are informative and attractive and it helps as a motivation on students.

              Yes, they clear and simple and can be used for instructional basis

It is a motivation for the students to study harder and pay attention on learning and not on playing and chatting. It serves as a guideline too for them for their future.

4.        What suggestions can you make?

Board displays are therefore be displayed and must be posted in every classroom as a rule. It is an effective way of motivating students to perform more in class and school activities.

“See and Say”

Name of FS Student       CHRIZEL DARWIN OCAMPO FERMIN                          

Course:        BSE                                                   Year & Section     Second        

Cooperating School          JONES RURAL SCHOOL                                                

Date of Observation       August 25, 2010                                                             

UTILIZATION OF TEACHING AIDS FORM

Year Level of Class Observed :    Second Year
Date of Observation:     August 25, 2010
Subject Matter :    Scanning and Steps of Scanning
Brief Description :     Traditional approach of teaching
Teaching Aid Used	Strengths	Weaknesses	Comments on appropriateness on the teaching aid used
Index card Textbook to board mode of teaching	Used as guide for instruction No outlining and direct to the point, no time consuming	Students tend to engage on listening without exercising their reasoning ability	It is more conducive to learn if visual aids or other teaching materials presented to motivates students to participate in class discussion.

My Analysis:

What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/ learning resources that she/ he used?

Effortless! Just explain what you read on the textbook, then a little writing on the board. In using this tradition way of teaching you must prepare a set of motivation oar stories in order to catch the attention of your student.

What difficulties if any, did the teacher experienced? How can be this managed?

I think there is a slight problem on the reading ability of some of the students, so the teacher gives more time to read to enhance these students.

Over – all, were the learning resources/ materials used effectively? Why? Why not?

                   Effective in the teachers own way but teachers must have wide range of motivation and teaching method in order to promote and inspire students to perform and study well, and in order to meet the needs and interest of all the learners.

My Reflection:

          In starting everyday lesson, teachers must have always a motivation so that before instruction you’ll get the whole attention and focus of the class, in order to have a warm and progressive flow of learning on both the teacher and the learner. Then start discussing the topic, another way of effective teaching is by using visual aids. This will help as a guide and outline in discussing. This will help them understand more about the topic. Make the students participate by raising question relevant to the topic. Give some jokes or ice breaker if necessary to catch fully their attention and make the class lively and effectively.  Remember the effectiveness of learning is the primary role of the teacher.
