EPISODE 5
Individual Differences and Learners
Interaction
My Tools
OBSERVATION
People
are different with each other, we have our own abilities and own mind set, like
the 2 pupils that I observed. KLAIRE ANN ROMERO from Ilaor Sur, Oas, Albay, a 7
years old pupil, is a very active pupil. She is good in class; she is also a
fast learner. She can answer those questions that the teacher given to them.
She is seated in the first row of the class. She is near enough to hear her
teachers’ discussion. Klaire is a shy type pupil, humble, and clean. She has a
family that can support her every time she asked to. Klaire Ann performed well
inside the class.
Marvin Cerio, Klaire’s classmate from
Cabangan, Oas, Albay, a 6 years old and one of the slow learners of the class.
He is a shy type pupil and he can’t write independently. He seated in the 3rd
row of the class that’s why it is also one of the problem why he can’t hear the
class discussion easily. Marvin is not the kind of child that is clean,
perfect, brainy, but he has a good thing of what we so called “strong”. He is
strong enough to face all the problems. He chooses to be their in class, to
learn and make him presentable on the future. All the teachers need to do is to
be patient and understanding.
The resource teacher delivers her topic,
actively and equally, considering all their differences.
My Analysis
My
observation matches with the information that Mrs. Rapirap given. The students
who performed well are those students who are seated at the front because they
can easily hear their teacher. And those students who are seated at the back
are the one who didn’t performed and participate well. I can easily identify those
students who fast learners, and slow learners because of their performance.
Students who volunteering to answer, and responding to teachers directions are
different to those who didn’t.
Each pupil has their own abilities and
this abilities affect their performance in class depends on the situation if
they can cope it up and adjust. There is no wide gap between the fast learner
and the slow learners, they don’t mind about it. There is no wide gap, because
not all times, slow learners are always down, maybe in some aspects they
can lift their self up. Fast learners
have also their weakness. They are all equal and fair with each
other.
The
teacher used varied methods and strategies in dealing with different abilities
of her pupils. She made sure that despite of their individual differences.
There was a sense of cooperation in her classroom. And maintaining the good
learning atmosphere by managing her pupils well and using the abilities of her
pupils in a good and nice way where they can develop it properly.
My Reflection
When
I was in elementary, I can say that I did not belong in high achievers of our
class but then I did not also belong in the slow learners. I can proudly say
that I am in the average level and I am glad because I can cope up with the
lessons and every activity given by our teachers.
Competitions in our classroom also
happened especially between the higher achievers of our class to maintain or
get higher grades.
Our teachers head aching because of our
differences, it is hard for her to manage our class especially those who are
slow learners, but then she really do her best in order us to learn and cope up
the lessons. She also uses different method and strategies in teaching, like
giving us activities where she group us and in that group there are fast
learners and slow learners and that strategy really helps because everyone is
cooperating to finished the activity that our teacher given. As a future
teacher, I will bear in my system that no two individuals are alike; I’ll let
them to use their own unique style to enhance their capabilities and to gain
more knowledge.
My Portfolio
I will use
the Integrative method in teaching, because through this, I will be able to
teach them well. It was easy to teach using this method in teaching different
students with individual differences.
