MR.
Instructor
Activity 3.1
The learners' differences and the type of interaction they bring surely affect the quality of
teaching and learning. This activity is about observing and gathering data to find out how
student diversity affects learning.
To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, work your way through these steps:
Step 1. Observe a class in different parts of a school day. (beginning of the day, class time,
recess, etc.)
Step 2. Describe the characteristics of the learners in terms of age, gender, and social and
cultural diversity.
Step 3. Describe the interaction that transpires inside and outside the classroom.
Step 4. Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that she uses in
dealing with diversity in the classroom.
OBSERVE
Read the following carefully before you begin to observe. Then write your
observation report on the space provided on the next page.
1. Find out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial
groups,religious, and ethnic backgrounds.
2. During class: 1. How much interaction is there in the classroom? Describe how
the students interact with one another and with the teacher. Are there groups
that interact more with the teacher than others.
2. Observe the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do
they behave and interact differently?
3. Describe the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with
or compete against each other?
4. Who among the students participate actively? Who among them ask for most
help?
5. When a student is called and cannot answer the teacher's question, do the
classmates try to help him? Or do they raise their hands, so that the teacher will
call them instead?
Outside class:
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
Interview the teachers and ask about their experience about learners in difficult
circumstances. Request them to describe these circumstances and how it has affected
the learners. Ask about the strategies they use to help these learners cope.
Ask the teachers about strategies they apply to address the needs of diverse students
due to the following factors:
•Differences in religion
•Socio-economic status
Report Observation
Name of the School Observed: San Vicente Ferrer Elementary School
First response:
The pupils being observed in 5th Grade are in the age range of 9 to 15 years old generally
from Female to Male pupils with racial clans from Tagalog’s at Bulacan and from true
pure-blooded kapampangans’, Religion was commonly known to them just like what they
had, like Catholic/ Iglesia Ni Cristo and Born Again.
Second Response:
Apparently, the communication is still active and existing within the 3 sections of 5th grade,
they are very enthusiastic in terms of connecting with their classmates. Educationally
pupils are also communicating with their teachers as it is necessary for them to do it and
practice it for their own growth both intellectually and morally, in general pupils are more
interactive with their seatmates than their teachers or batch-mates.
Third Response:
Based in the behavioral factors within the different places they seated in, pupils at the back
are noisier as ever and as I always seen as their student teacher and observer, Pupils in
front are notably quiet and manageable. Despite of the differences there still a high
difference between the first and lower sections, behavior in lowest section is must worst
than the other due to the fact that some pupils are answering their teachers in a rude and
informal way.
Fourth Response:
Pupils are always competitive in terms of recitation being done with the teaching process,
it is existing in first two sections but in last section or the lower section are competitive in
terms of everything like such nonsense topic outside the lesson, that type of behavior is
quite unique in the three I’ve been observed.
Fifth Response:
The admirable pupil that is very active is a boy that named as Marco Polo Menese he is
always active and participating in every activity inside his class whether it is recitation or
surprise and morally related questions. He easily memorized/recognized the previous
lessons and that is very good for me and I am really amazed with his talent. Aside from
active pupil there is also a unique pupil that is really needed an extra attention specially in
reading he is John Cedrick Viray, His participation in class is inactive due to the reason
that his problem in reading really connects and affects his comprehension, without reading
there is no possibility of decoded important information in his young mind.
Sixth Response:
Students or pupils has also care with their own classmates that if their classmates cannot
answer, they are the one who truthfully willing to help their struggling classmates by
raising their hands acknowledging the ideas being said by the struggling classmates and by
that the helping pupil usually just add something that his/her struggling classmates is not
been said.
Outside class:
Usually pupils, group themselves by picking their peers inside the class generally
common with their gender due to the same wants or ideology as a individual. Peers inside
a class are ones who also commonly share ideas with each other just like brainstorming
regarding with the given topic.
2. Notice students who are alone and those who are not interacting. Describe their
behavior.
The pupils who are alone are those pupil’s Who are also seen as an introvert they are not
interest with socializing with their own classmates and even seatmates, usually they like to
be alone in the back of the rows and also, they are just communicating when there is a
group work or sometimes when they need something that they don’t Have, in terms of
behavior they are quiet and inactive during the teaching and learning process.
“Interview your Resource Teacher about the principles and practices that she uses in
dealing with diversity in the classroom.”
In all aspects of these, pupils in Grade 5 Pearl are in the list definitely playing the
different kinds of roles they stand belong. The one to be the leader is a girl named
Dizon Franzette Anne, And the joker in class is Pangilinan Andrey, an attention
seeker is Dizon Mhelaundrei Gillan due to his enthusiasm, A little teacher who
named Meneses Marco Polo, and a girl doubter who named Temporosa Angela
Mae. These pupils are the ones who fill the roles in this part that I’ve think that it has
a reasonable thought that they are really fitted in this role and has factual basis due to
my visual observation to their own class.
2. Is there anyone you observed who appear left out? Are students who appear
"different?" Why do they appear different? Are they accepted or rejected by the
others? How is this shown?
The only one who appears to be left behind is a boy named John Cedrick Viray due to
his Low level of intellectual growth and his ability to read is really a big factor to him
for being a inactive pupil inside the class of Ma’am Guia Caragay. In terms of age his
abilities compare to other of his classmates is really viewed as generally low, the level
of comprehension was really affected due to the lack of reading skill.
Ma’am Guia Offers the non-readers to attend a remedial that she also managing during her
vacant time, As an Observer I was also helped in this kind of act as also my willingness to
help poor kids that needs an extra attention for them to improve and be grow as their age also
comes up.
3. How does the teacher influence the class interaction considering the individual
differences of the students?
My resource teacher uses her very own extra time to give it to all students/pupils who
appears to be left behind and despite of the differences of the pupils Ma’am guia consider
it as a chance to prove to me as her Observer that she can also manage those differences
of her own pupils through such Different methods of teaching and the usage of time
management when it comes to those students/pupils who seen as a Non-reader or in the
range of Low level of intellectual growth.
4. What strategies does the teacher use to maximize the benefits of diversity in the
classroom? How does the teacher leverage diversity?
The strategy of her own is to use generally related topic such words that is fun and relatable
to the kids, regarding with the method she also uses various device and learning materials for
the teaching and learning process of her own such as in device; Monitor, Speaker, Laptop and
the newest which is Visual Projector. Educational Videos are often use in her class as a
generally procedure of discussion to Evaluation.
REFLECT
1. How did you feel being in that classroom? Did you feel a sense of oneness or
unity among the learners and between the teacher and the learners?
In my view as an Observer, the oneness or unity is really applied to the 2 section out
of three I’ve been through. First and Second section are appeared to be a solid section
that creates entirely a unity during their activities or performances that being done
inside their class, That is in general view but sometimes kids are kids so they might
have a mood swings sometimes but they are seen to be helpful with their classmates,
In the lowest section which is Grade5 Jade sadly in my observation they had some
negative characteristic such as being rude with their teacher and sometimes arguing
with their teacher, which is for me is a big problems when it comes to behavioral
factors.

OBSERVATION REPORT
Name of the School Observed: Macabebe Elementary School
School Address: Macabebe Pampanga
Date of Visit: October 18, 2022
In my observation in the SPED class, the teaching and learning situation is really different
visually compares to the normal or standard elementary teaching. Since the teacher is also
a Muted and Deaf the way of teaching is also different due to the fact that the way of
communication generally is through sign Language, the differences between the learners
inside a SPED class is also there but visually they are in the same energy level in
comprehending.
SPED pupils are also in different levels the one who is really active named “_____” and
the one who seems to be left behind is named “_____” due to the inactiveness during the
class hours.
Due to the issue that the teacher is also Muted and Deaf the situation of asking him/her is
hard due to the reason that I am not knowledgeable in terms of sign language and by that I
can just visualize the situation and through narrative method I can say that the teacher also
has the background of the pupils due to the fact that he/she also know his/her pupils very
well, Through recitation using sign language and the part of discussion that the teacher
really knows whom to call in different situations.
The behaviour of the SPED pupils is quite similar to just normal kid the difference is just
the way they communicate through sign language, they are also seen as a enthusiastic
children who seeks attention from their teacher, This situation really enlightened me as a
Observer that being flexible regardless of disabilities is quite possible. SPED pupils and
regular pupils are also similar in terms of participation inside the class and
accomplishments of their individual task, some of the SPED pupils are really active and
some of them are also inactive, just like a normal pupil inside a normal set of teaching.
The teacher really interactive with his/her class, through sign language he/she manage to
handle the kids needs during the class hours. Since the teacher is also Muted and Deaf,
ANALYZE
The observation I’ve been done is generally considered as a reflective to the real situation
happened in the SPED class. The teacher is very naturalistic in terms of his way of teaching,
He/she took advantage of his/her disability to teach clearly with his/her fellow muted and
deaf.
2. Describe the differences in ability levels of the students in the class? What practices
or strategies are done or should be done to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of
the learners?
The ability of the SPED learners is quite standard with comparison to the normal teaching
and learning process, there is active student and also there is a inactive pupils. It is just
different in terms of communication and the response of the pupils and their reaction was
connected to their normal state of leanings.
3. Describe the methods used by the teacher in handling the students' differences in
abilities. How did the students respond to the teacher? Did the teacher use
differentiated instruction? If yes, describe how.
The method used by the deaf and muted teacher is generally the sign language that really
helpful in communicating with the children, and the response of the pupils are quite
interesting due to their enthusiasm and their visual appearance that is very amusing.
REFLECT
1. Recall the time when you were in elementary or high school. Recall the high and low
achievers in your class. How did your teacher deal with differences in abilities? Was
your teacher effective?
In elementary, the teacher in this area was clearly brought learnings to her pupil’s despite of
the differences just like having an extra program for the pupils who left behind due to the
pandemic, As well as the High School Teacher sir Edmond he brought also morals to his
leaners not just plain knowledge but also for good characteristic as a individual. They are
both knowledgeable in terms of handling different students/pupils by using their experiences
they can actually make their own advisory much better learners.
2. What dispositions and traits will you need as a future teacher to meet the needs of the
learners?
For me as the observer to the real situation inside the Different types of students, teachers and
way of teaching. Those experiences that I’ve been through are really helpful for me to
develop such characteristics that might possibly help me as a future educator, for me the most
effective character that I can mimic is the huge amount of patience and Dedication that my
resource teachers had already. Experience is a great teacher and that is really applied to me
now as a Observer I’ve seen a lot of situations, Problems and opportunities that made me
think that education really needs a boost for the future professional Filipino’s that not yet
born or already here in this world that needs stimulation and modification.

OBSERVATION REPORT
(You may include photos here)
First Response:
The indigenous peoples in the IP school I’ve been watched is called Blaan Tribe the Blaan
Tribe are one of the indigenous people (IP) living in Southern Mindanao. They have their
own traditional dance and music, colorful tribal wear and weaving tradition similar to the
T'boli. Blaan have rituals for everything that they do, from selecting the place for a farm
planting, harvest and post harvest because of their belief on the supremacy of the great
creator. The Blaan, can be considered clannish in the sense that marriages, as much as
possible, must be limited to close relatives.
Second Response:
Since the area of school is in the hills, the school area also has a huge space for the leaners,
and despite of that specified area for the teaching and learning process, the situation
conflicts with it due to the reason that teaching and learning process is not allowed to be
done in Face-to-Face basis, the learners learn through Semi Distance Learning with the
help of technology called “LR on Wheels” it allows the IP students to learn even inside of
their respective IP homes.
Third Response:
Activities being done in the time of studying, are some Digital activity provided with the
“intranet” that only works within the specified area of learning which is the IP’s
Homeland. Educational videos are also attached with the process and the IP Learners has a
digital tablet individually provided by the school itself.
Fourth Response:
Licensed teachers are the ones who guide the IP Learners with their provided gadgets, but
in the learning process the house parents are the one who help their children to study inside
their houses provided and boosted by LR on Wheels technology.
Fifth Response:
The teaching and learning process are through watching educational videos provided by the
teachers and the activities will be done through their provided modules.
Sixth Response:
IP Learners usually learns through the educational video provided by the teacher,
physically there is no interaction with them at least for now due to the covid 19 threat to
the Indigenous Peoples. Parents are the only one who technically see their child’s teacher
when they are going to claim the new set of modules.
Seventh Response:
Learning Resources are generally from the LR on wheels that brought huge amount of
opportunity to the IP’s intellectual growth, aside from that the IP Learners are also
provided individually a learning tablets or device that is connected with the new
technology that also works in the real time managing to see the teaching and Learning
process.

Competencies, and Content interview data.
1. Does the school foster a sense The Indigenous Peoples rights, beliefs and practices
of belonging to one's ancestral was clearly respected by the school itself, due to the
domain, a deep understanding of fact that the school allows their IP’s students to wear
the community's beliefs and their cultural dresses.

the use of the ancestral domain were Observing through online but I think that through
and activities of the community technology that they’ve shown it is possible that the
as relevant settings for learning classroom-based sessions will definitely be effective to
in combination with classroom- the IP pupils. Also, important thing that community
based sessions? Cite examples. also allows to participate in the process of school
events that actually strengthen the relationship between
the school and the community of the tribe’s blaan.
What do you think can still be done to promote and uphold the indigenous people’s
knowledge systems and practices and rights in schools?
Yes, I think that the school system is providing enough sensitivity for the blaan tribe
themselves, that the school itself named after them “Calay Indigenous Peoples School” they
are very knowledgeable of what the tribe has and ideology to discover, Technology provided
in this school shows us how important the tribe is in the whole community itself.
REFLECT
Reflect based on your actual visit or videos that you watched.
The things I’ve learned is the situation they were in and the connection it has in the
community itself, they were all treated well in the school provided enough materials to learn.
Specifically, I have learned something that is new, and that’s it the new technology of
“Intranet” the concept of this is new for me so I am very glad to have new knowledge about
this one and the example of that technology is applied to the Learners of Blaan Tribe named
“LR on wheels”.
2. What did you appreciate most from your experience in visiting the school with
indigenous learners? Why?
I appreciate their own beliefs and their willingness to learn despite of their situation, I am
very glad that they had the technology devices the deserve and the attention they needed in
terms of good quality education.
Given them enough dedication someday if I were going to teach them in accordance with the
cultural beliefs they had, I will further study their full background so that I can use it to
improve the quality of education they deserve.
3.2 Uphold and celebrate their culture, beliefs and practices by….
Adding activities that allows the IP Learners to excel just like their cultural dances that may
helpful for them to learn also. I will also probably teach outside of their box so that they are
prepared when they go outside of their respective tribes someday.
Giving enough materials to them and attention during the teaching and learning process,
funds also are relatively important for them to have such standards of learning by giving
enough access to new information and their Class room should be conducive when the time is
ready for Face-to-Face class.
