Name of FS Student: Archie Ryan Cutanda Course: BTTE-IV

Cooperating School: Agusan National High School Address: Agusan, Cagayan de Oro

Date of Visit August 10, 2010 Subject Physics Year Level IV-EARTH

Resource Teacher: Marlon A. Dagatan Signature: _____________

Objectives: At the end of the activity the student should be able to

a. identify the learners characteristics

b. describe the behavior of the student

c. identify the causes of such behavior

d. give insights on what has been observed

Activities

1. What are some of the observable characteristics of the learner? What are their needs?

Here are some of the observable characteristics of the learners and their and their needs:

Contribute	Teacher’s campaign on learners’ self-activities among the groups of learners.
Cheerful	Teacher’s formation on satisfied and pleasant topic or subjects and self-experience which is incorporated to the subject tackled.
Optimistic	Teacher’s realization of self-activity among the students.
Dozy	Teacher’s Emphasizing on the napping’ learners, and gets the attention of the learners to attain the class conversation.

2. Describe the behavior of the students. Why did they demonstrate such behavior?

The behavior of the student I had been noticed are the following:

Students tend to favor practical learning activities that enable them to draw on their prior skills and knowledge.

Students were readily able to relate new facts to past experiences and enjoy having their talents and knowledge explored in a teaching situation.

Students have established opinions, values and beliefs which have been built up over time and arrived at following experience of families, relationships, work, community, politics, etc.

Learners increase their effort when motivated by a need, an interest, or a desire to learn.

Learners had engaged in learning their attention must be fully focused on the material presented.

Students learn at various rates and in different ways according to their intellectual ability, personality and cognitive learning styles.

Students learn best in a democratic, participatory and collaborative environment.

3. What was the teacher’s behavior? If you were the teacher, what could you have done?

Learners’ Behavior	Probable Cause	Teachers’ Behavior	Recommendation
1. Sensitivity	Alertness of thinking skills (High Intelligence)	Providing adequate information	The teacher must promote the positive sensitivity of the learners’; not the negative one or get easily upset.
2. Happy	Motivation done by the teacher	Motivate students to participate the discussion by using humor integration of experiences.	Teaching strategies is nice.
3. Enthusiastic	Eagerness to learn	Teacher’s personal behavior are noble	Teachers’ behavior is one of the great factors of the learners’ eagerness to learn.

4. Write down your insights on what you have observed.

Students are self-aware i.e. they know themselves. When they are in a learning situation which they do not like, they are able to adapt it to their personal needs. They believe they can always learn something, whatever the situation. They also know how they prefer to learn and choose learning situations that are suited to their way of learning.

Learner identified characteristics of quality learning experiences, of the subject Physic were the main thrust of the research and these characteristics were obtained from the learners. It must be noted that this study was done with a small group of learners using a particular type of technology, so many of the comments are unique to that method of delivery. The characteristics seemed to group into characteristics of the course, the physical setting, the method of delivery, the instructor and the learner support.
