1 RPMS S.Y.: 2022-2023 Teacher Reflection Form (TRF) Teacher I-III Teacher: ALONA M. MONTON Rater: FLORENCIA M. MALBAS Subject Taught: SCIENCE 8 OBJECTIVE 13 Applied a personal philosophy of teaching that is learner-centered. (PPST7.1.2) Reflection Journal Entry of High School Science Teacher: Embracing a LearnerCentered Teaching Philosophy Across Four Quarters As I reflect on the academic year as a high school science teacher, I am grateful for the opportunity to have applied a learner-centered teaching philosophy that consistently engaged my students in the teaching-learning process. Throughout the four quarters, I aimed to create an interactive and dynamic learning environment where students actively participated in scientific exploration and discovery. By valuing their ideas, interests, and experiences, I strived to ignite their passion for science and empower them as critical thinkers and problem solvers. First Quarter: In the initial quarter, I focused on building a strong foundation of scientific inquiry and critical thinking. To foster curiosity and hands-on learning, I introduced a "Study Notebook in Science" activity. Students were encouraged to record observations, questions, and hypotheses as they conducted experiments and explored scientific concepts. The Study Notebook became a personal record of their scientific journey. Specific Activity: " Study Notebook " Instructions: Maintain a science Study Notebook to record your observations, questions, and hypotheses during laboratory experiments and class discussions. Use it as a tool to track your scientific inquiries and findings. Second Quarter: As we progressed into the second quarter, I aimed to foster collaboration and communication skills through project-based learning. Students were divided into groups and tasked with researching and presenting on a specific scientific topic of their choice. They worked together to gather information, conduct experiments, and deliver presentations to their peers. Specific Activity: "Group Work and Presentation" Instructions: In groups, select a scientific topic that interests your team. Conduct in-depth research, design experiments, and prepare an engaging presentation. Share your findings with the class, ensuring each group member contributes to the presentation.
