Part II. Reflective learning

Name of activity: Epi Info 7

Date of activity: June 16, 2014

What did I learn?I was able to re-learn surveying the community again in a much more detailed and organized manner

What was my contribution to the activity?We divided our group to perform different tasks in order to make the work faster. My partner and I were assigned to formulate possible survey question in a part of our own questionnaire form.

What difficulties did I encounter in the activity?It was difficult to formulate questions that would really be specific but then understandable to those who will be taking or answering our survey

How did I overcome the difficulties encountered?I overcame this problem thanks to some background knowledge that I had from my undergrad course and also through the help of my groupmates who were all-knowing about it.



What did I learn?Our group learned something about our community, Brgy Munting Ilog, Silang, Cavite

What was my contribution to the activity?I contributed in gathering data in our survey

What difficulties did I encounter in the activity?No difficulties were encountered

How did I overcome the difficulties encountered?



What did I learn?

Mostly I learned how to at least manage the program in terms of creatings survey forms, entering some data in the finished survey forms, and performing different functions for statistical data to be entered as tables and graphs

What was my contribution to the activity?

The creation of our groups household survey form.

What difficulties did I encounter in the activity?

At first I was having some difficulty in creating the survey form because it was the first time for me to use the application. Also with what functions to use with certain variables to be able to create the right tables and graphs.


Fortunately I have a background on computer programs regarding statistics and applied it on the epi info 7 program. In addition to that, I asked a lot of questions from the preceptor for me to be able to understand better than just reading the manual alone.

Name of activity: Input of Community Data in Epi Info 7

Date of activity: July 7, 2014

What did I learn?

Learned how to properly input the data on hand into the survey form.


I inputted the data into the program and studied how the program worked with it.


At first it was hard, because I didnt understand how the program worked because it was too complexed for me at the time.


I carefully studied the manual for it as fast as I can and listened for the instructions our preceptor was telling.

Name of activity: problem Prioritization and Problem tree


What did I learn?

I learned how to prioritize a certain problem of the community which will take a unanymous decision from all our groupmates


I contributed some of the ideas on what problems our community might have and tried to rank them according to their importance to the community.


It was difficult to choose which problems would be more prioritized with the other problems because they all seemed quite important to the community.


We tried to cut them down one by one on how attainable they are, how long itll take, and the like. With this kind of system, it would be easier to prioritize the problems.

Name of activity: Planning for FGD


What did I learn?

I learned how to organize and plan for an FGD for a community.


I helped in coming up with ideas on how to do the FGD, whether if wed be doing it in a formal setup or a fun and entertaining one.


I had trouble in figuring out how we could make some parts more entertaining yet understandable by the community and not just boring them with formal lectures


I overcame this by brainstorming with other groupmates, and incorporating different ideas and mold it into one.

Name of activity: Focused Group Discussion

Date of activity: August 11, 2014

What did I learn?

I learned how to apply and integrate our plans for the FGD and make it into a presentation that was entertaining, and not boring, yet fruitful.


I was one of the presentors for our group and discussed some graphs and interpretations of it for our community.


I had difficulty of interpreting the graphs and what it would really mean for the community.


I overcame this by listening to the comments of our preceptors and make it better next time.

Name of activity: Health Education Activity

Date of activity: September 1, 2014

What did I learn?

I learned how to properly present information to the community. We educated the community in such a way that it wont be boring.


I helped in coming up with some concepts for our play. I also helped in the preparation of some materials/props needed for the activity.


No difficulties encountered


Name of activity: Oral Presentation

Date of activity: September 22, 2014

What did I learn?

I learned how to present properly the data given to us and the interpretation of data must be correlated with the communitys condition.


I was one of the reporters for this activity, and also contributed to some parts in the recommendations.


I had diffculty in coming up with recommendations that were appropriate to the condition or situation of the community.


I overcame this by trying to correlate everything and to see what is more inportant and to be able to have recommendations that would encourage the community to move by their own and not just rely on students like us.
