EPISODE 4
Individual
Differences and Learners Interaction
1.
Find
out the number of students. Gather data as to their ages, gender, racial
groups, religious and ethnic backgrounds.
In
grade I-2 under Mrs. Rapirap, I observed that there are 13 girls and 11 boys.
Most of them are aging 6-7 and they are too naughty. They are all from Oas and
has a great role to their generation- a role that can be contributed to their
life. Either it is bad or good.
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 teachers than the others.
The
learners interact with one another, especially when their classmate classmates
catch their attention. They also interact to their teacher when they are asked
to answer the question. The learners are so attentive to react to their
classmates and peers.
2.
Observe
the learners seated at the back and the front part of the room. Do they behave
and interact differently?
The learners seated at the back, are
quite behave but they don’t participate to the discussion. The learners seated
in the front are noisy but they participate in the class discussion. Less
interaction is seen to the learners at the back, teacher can’t easily catch
their attention.
3.
Describe
the relationship among the learners. Do the learners cooperate with or compete
against each other?
The learners completely cooperate
with one another. They accept the answer of their classmates even if it is
wrong. When someone can’t answer the question of the teacher, they
automatically help them
4.
Which
students participate actively? Which students ask for most help?
The
students who actively participate are the students who listen to their teacher.
They are students who are seated in first row. The students who mostly ask for
help are the students who didn’t listen to their teacher and seated at the back
or 3rd row.
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.
When someone is called and cannot answer the
question, the classmates help with raising their hands. They decided to help
others when they are not called by their teachers.
Outside class:
1.
How do the students group themselves
outside class? Homogenously, by age? By gender? By racial or ethnic groups? Or
are the students in mixed social groupings? If so, describe the groupings.
The pupils, group themselves fairly
even without thinking about their gender, age and financial status. There are
groups busy playing outside. Some have their own small conversation especially
the girls.
2.
Describe
how the learners interact with each other. What do they talk about?
The learners interact with each other
like a brother and sister. They usually talk about their achievements, wants,
and sometimes about their toys.
Observation
Students
are the most important figures in teaching. Without the students I cannot be in
the classroom.
As a
teacher, I must consider the individual differences of my learners. I need to
love my students, whatever characteristics they have. Be fair is the most
important word that I need to apply and practice to my pupils inside and
outside the room.
Every
student are not the same, in status of living, feelings, physical appearance,
quality of understanding, mood, interaction to others and the gender. As a
teacher, I will adjust and know their differences. I need to think first of
what word will come out on my mouth. Consider their feelings and suggestions.
Expect that a student wasn’t able to understand the teacher. The teacher must
be patient and approachable. Some learners don’t have things that can help them
a lot in studying, as a teacher, teachers are the one who can tell them and
encourage doing their work.
My Analysis
The
minority group are not completely accepted by the others, especially when it
comes to physical appearance. Some students are not so presentable and clean
like others, that’s why some students don’t like to be the one of his friends.
Other students don’t mind their status, because they are still child to mind
those things. Everyone is accepted as long as they have the same interest and
they can express their ideas and feelings with each other
The
role of the teacher is that she serves as the guide to the learners in this interactions
and relationships. The teacher is the one who also provide the knowledge on how
to interact with each other fairly. The teacher develops the total personality
of her learners for them to interact in a good and accepted ways. The teacher
must be careful of every word she speaks and every action she show.
My Reflection
When I am
in the classroom, I felt the sense of cooperation and interaction between the
teacher and the learners.
It’s my
pleasure to observe the class. There is unity, happiness and cooperation among
the class. This kind of class I want to have someday.
In
the near future and become a teacher, I will make sure that there will be an
interaction between pupils and teacher, and also to their peers. No
discriminations and fairness will exist. I want that my learners are full of
knowledge, more initiative, friendly, respectful, and open-minded. I will make
this happen by simply teaching them effectively and efficiently.
My Portfolio
Reading is not only a pleasure, it is a treasure.
This quotation encourages the learners to work
hard for their studies. Through reading, students can gain a lot of
information, idea, strategies, lesson, help to their problems and additional
knowledge.
