Date
of Observation: February 25, 2014
School:
TESDA- Kinoguitan National Agricultural School
Subject:
Commercial Cooking
Topic:
Introducing the Different kinds of Sandwiches
Grade/Year
Level: NC-2 Trainees
Based on my observation conducted at
the TESDA-KNAS, and I decided to choose the Commercial Cooking course. That day
they tackle and discuss about the Different kinds of sandwiches. The
materials/visual aids that the teacher uses and as her reference as well are the
books, pictures, and the finish product because they are going to perform it as
a return demonstration. The teacher presented her topic to the class with her
materials by giving some motivation that will make them excite to their new
topic and gave them the courage to be more interested by the topic.
In non-verbal response of the
learners I have seen that through the presentation made by the teacher the
class enjoyed the topic especially the time that they going to make it after
the demonstration by the teacher. Aside from that the students respond the
teacher activity and I can say that the teacher is very effective and efficient
to her strategy she uses to the class. So therefore the materials/visual aids
played a vital role to the discussion of the teacher because it will add more
meaningful learning to the class.

My Analysis
What do you think prompted the teacher to choose
the materials/learning resources that he/she used?
For
me, those materials are one of the best tools for teaching/learning resources
because in cooking, first we need to have a book to have some reference for the
things which are very useful it could give concise information to help us let
our students understand what we are trying to say. Second, pictures, it could
help our students step on the next level of learning through imagining and it
could give them excitement to do the task because of what they see on the
picture you presented. Third, finished product, they could have basis on the
certain thing they need to come up.
What difficulties, if any, did the teacher
experience? How can this be managed?
My
observation was conducted on post-secondary student and other already a second
courser, during discussion it was smooth there are only slight interruptions
maybe due to excitement on the things they newly learn, but the teacher could
handle it well by just give them a little reminder that “hey, you’re not a kid
anymore guys”.
Over-all, were the learning resources/materials
used effectively? Why? Why not?
The
learning material was used effectively…because when the teacher ask them one by
one to identify each of the sandwiches, they really do.
MY REFLECTIONS
1.
Put
yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what
would you do differently if you would teach the same lesson to the same group
of students and why?
If I were a teacher, I will use also
books, pictures, and finished product. But it would be more different if the
teacher let them see demonstration even if in just a video…because video could
give huge understanding of our student, it could provide lot of information
that we could not give in just showing those books and pictures… after a video
on how to do the different kinds of sandwiches, I will let them create their
own also as what they see on the video provided. From then, we could measure if
how active our student in terms of listening and interpreting things, for sure
they will pay attention to listen, taking note of the procedure, and learn to
be creative enough, they will explore and for sure they will strive to learn
without depending on others.
