Scholarly answer the ff. questions
1. Which classroom observation is effective, unannounced observation or
announced observation? Why?
Answer:
For me announced observation is effective because it allows teachers to
prepare, ensuring they can showcase their best practices and creates a less
stressful environment, promoting a positive experience for both the observer
and the teacher.
2. Which is MORE important in the teaching-learning process,
a. The what to teach or the how to teach? Why?
Answer:
How to teach is more important because an effective instructional strategies
can make even challenging content accessible to students. Engaging teaching
methods enhance student understanding, retention, and application of
knowledge. Also, a skilled teacher can adapt and present content in various
ways to meet diverse learning needs. While both are crucial, the "how to teach"
holds particular significance because effective pedagogy can make learning
more engaging, accessible, and meaningful.
b. product or process? Why?
Answer:
Process is more important because it emphasizes the journey of learning,
critical thinking, problem-solving, and skill development and encourages active
student engagement and participation. Emphasis on the process aligns with
modern educational philosophies that prioritize skills development, critical
thinking, and lifelong learning.
3. Given the chance to choose, which group would you prefer to teach?
a. homogeneous or heterogeneous? Why?
Answer:
Heterogeneous because it encourages diversity of perspectives and experiences
and fosters a supportive and inclusive learning environment. Teaching in a
heterogeneous group prepares students for real-world interactions and
collaboration with people of diverse backgrounds.
c. fast learners or slow learners? Why?
Answer:
Both, working with diverse learner profiles challenges teachers to differentiate
instruction and provides opportunities for personalized learning and
addressing individual needs. In addition, balancing both groups promotes a
supportive learning community where students can learn from each other.
