Reflection Journal Entry of High School Filipino Teacher: Embracing a LearnerCentered Teaching Philosophy Across Four Quarters
As a high school Filipino teacher, my teaching philosophy revolves around putting the
learners at the center of the teaching-learning process. Throughout the four quarters of the academic
year, I have consistently applied this learner-centered approach to create an inclusive and engaging
environment for my students. This reflection journal entry highlights the specific activities and
instructions incorporated into my daily lesson logs (DLLs) to support a learner-centered teaching
philosophy, fostering the consistent involvement of learners in the learning process.
Quarter1:
In the first quarter, I focused on building a strong foundation in the Filipino language while nurturing
the students' interest and love for their culture and heritage. To achieve this, I implemented a variety
of activities in my DLLs that catered to different learning styles and preferences. One of the activities
that resonated well with the students was a storytelling session where each student took turns sharing
a traditional Filipino folk tale or myth. They were encouraged to use creative props, drawings, or even
enactments to make the stories come alive. This activity not only improved their language skills but
also instilled pride in their cultural identity.
Quarter2:
During the second quarter, I aimed to enhance the students' reading comprehension and
critical thinking abilities. I designed a "Kwentuhan Tayo" (Let's Talk) activity wherein students formed
small groups and analyzed contemporary Filipino short stories or articles. They discussed the
themes, characters, and social issues presented in the literature and shared their insights with the
class. This activity encouraged active participation, respectful dialogue, and critical analysis, as the
students learned from each other's perspectives. Here is an example of the DLL entry for the
"Kwentuhan Tayo"
