Name of School: Victorino Mapa High SchoolObserved: Mrs. Regina LeeDate of Visit: November 23, 2010

While waiting for Mrs. Tiongson, we watch for

demonstration Teaching of Mrs. Regina Lee, a General

science teacher. Her lesson is all about “WORK”. She

conducts an experiment to enrich the knowledge and

observation skills of her student. It may also build team

work for her student to generalize what the objectives all

about. Even though she use the Old traditional method with

chalk in her hands while explaining their lesson, I observe

that she catch the interest of her students by giving an

example based on reality which make’s the student to be

interest because they are base on their true experiences in

the environment. She can explain well by using different

colorful pictures, charts and graphic organizer for the

student to easily understand the lesson for this day.

may also observe the orderliness, cleanliness in there school

corridors. While walking in there corridors I heard the noise of

the students in chatting with there classmates, some of the

boys where running to go to the school canteen for there

lunch, in the way to the stairs I observe that there are student

who pick to stay in the side of the stairs while waiting for

there next class they where texting, play with there

classmates and doing there assignment before there class.

When I enter one of there classroom for an observation in the

field study and sit at the back for class observation, I have

observed that they have there daily routine to be followed,

first before there class starts the teacher makes sure that the

classroom where clean if there are some piece of paper that

left by the last section, it should be pick and dispose it

properly in the trash bin for them to learn maintain the

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT MATRIX

Aspects of Classroom Management

Description Effect on the Learners (to be filled up after you answer

the analysis question)Specific Areas in the

ClassroomIn there typical laboratory room, I see many cabinets in the room where different kind of laboratory apparatus, and specimen, preserve cat, frog, mussels, and fetus.

All of the student who will use the laboratory room will be taking in charge of all the things which kept in the cabinet, they will be responsible to clean, and maintain the orderliness of the cabinet.

Classroom Rules Classroom Rules where post in the side of the room near the door

For the student to read the Classroom Rules before entering the room for the class session.

Classroom Procedures

Classroom procedures are the set rules that will discuss by the teacher if there is an activity to be conducted.

The learners develop there listening ability to execute an specific task given by the teacher.

Daily Routines There are posted cleaners for the day at the side of the blackboard by this, the teacher will be fair in each of the student.

The learners will be responsible in maintaining the cleanliness of the room, by this, the student as well as the teacher will not confuse in giving the cleaning task.

Seating Arrangement There are 6 rows in the room, each row is compose of 6 to 7 students and in the middle front is the teachers table.

By this, the students will not leave there proper seat, they will be responsible in there chair to maintain clean, it also develop team building in each row if there is activity give by the teacher.

Handling misbehavior/ off task

behavior

The teacher will confront the misbehave student to change his/her attitude. If there is someone doing something that is not related and caught the

By this, the student will be shy to execute there bad attitude while in the class. They will build good moral and right conduct.

attention of the class the teacher immediately mention his/her attention to listen and focus on the lesson

Reinforcement of Positive Behavior

The teacher gives merit to the students who will perform well in the class discussion. By giving additional grades, positive feedbacks in there cards, etc.

The student will strive harder in there study to earn good grades from there teacher.

MY ANALYSIS

1. How the classroom organization and routines did affect the learners’ behavior?

Classroom organization and routines have a huge effect in the learners behavior because this will set as there basis for there attitude. This may help them to build a good attitude in doing a specific task. This routine will mold there over all behavior because it serve as training in the future whether they will be a good citizen of our country not.

2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classroom organization and routines? What theories and principles should have in mind?

The teacher should bear in his/her mind that if he/she will fail to prepare there lesson for the day he/she is fail. Because the student must have learned something on the lesson that she/he must be teach. The student will be insufficient in there cognitive skills. That’s why before the lesson, the teacher must design activities that will enhance there capabilities and abilities. It should be catch the attention of all of his/her student for them to enjoy their school work.

3. Which behavior strategies were affective in managing the behavior of the learners? In motivating student? Why were they affective?

The teacher must give activity that all of the student will participate and interested, by this, the student will not bored in the class discussion it also motivate them to learn and they also enjoy on what they are doing. This will also serve as the training for molding there attitudes towards the lesson.

MY REFLECTION:

1. Imagine yourself organizing your future classroom in the future. In what grade/year level do you see yourself? What routines and procedures would you consider for this level? Why?

I imagine myself teaching second year student in the future. Because I’m majoring Biology, so I want to teach from my own specialization subject. Before I start my lesson, one of my students will lead the prayer to bless us on our daily activities in school, for my student also, to develop there faith and fear to God. After the prayer the assign student will check the attendance by leading the count off each gender to know how many are present or absent. By assigning each student this responsibility, each of them will be responsible in every classroom routines and procedure without biased in each of them. Then, I will teach my lesson proper to them. Afterward, after our discussion the monitor cleaner by group will clean the room and maintain the orderliness of the chairs, etc.

2. Make a list of rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these rules?

a. Observe orderliness and cleanliness before and after the class session and before and after entering the classroom.( to maintain the cleanliness of the room)

6


b. Every time the lesson is said to be started, we must pray first. ( to oblige them to have faith in God and have fear to God almighty)

c. Then check the attendance by the assigned monitor for that day ( to develop there irresponsibleness in each task)

d. The student’s absent must not more than 5 absents ( for them not to skip the lesson)

e. The student must be always ready for the pre and post quiz, even for the surprise quiz ( to determine their cognitive skills on the lesson)

3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?

Yes, because they are the one who will obey the rules. As a teacher, the student must express their opinion and recommendation if the rules will exaggerate them. Because some rules that been set by the teacher is sometimes not follow by the student.
