My Reflections

Practices worth adapting:

The practices in-lined with teaching-learning process performed by the teacher which are worth adapting or emulating are:

§  Setting Objectives before the class

§  Praying before the class begun

§  Students centered teaching strategies

§  Assessment of learning

§  Immediate feedback

§  Informative assignment

On the other hand; the practices which may be avoided or may be improved are the following:

§  Objectives are to broad

§  High students expectation about the results is very high

Lesson learned:

The very lesson that I learned is that, as a millennial; I should anchored to the Philosophy of Learning by doing and student centered curriculum.  It means that I should base my classroom activities on the principle that the students are the one who should process learning and the teacher serve only to facilitate the learning to run smoothly. 

Principles of Learning in My Own Words

My principle of learning is centered on individual differences.  Individual’s differences in attitude of learners may serves as a challenge for a better teaching assessment and methods of a teacher. Since all students have different cultural background, language abilities, religion, family, race and behavior; the teacher must know that these diversities can enriches the student learning capacities, because students’ diversity can do the following:

§  Enhance learners’ self-awareness

§  Contribute to cognitive development

§  Prepare the learners as responsible members of society

§  Promote harmony and unity

§  Develop the student-to-student understanding

§  Enhance the teacher-student relationship

I am also advocate to the philosophy of John Dewey’s known as Progressivism.”  School should follow the idealisms of John Dewey’s propositions on a progressive education system which emphasizes of a child-centered curriculum base institution.

According to Dewey excellent education should have both a collective purpose and reason for the individual learners. For Dewey, the long-term substance, but so does the short-term quality of an educational experience. teachers are liable, thus, for providing learners with experiences and competent knowledge that are immediately precious and which progress and permit the learners to contribute to humanity.

Traditional education system as proposed by the traditionalist viewer of curriculum is lacking of planning approach in understanding the students’ needs and designing curricula overly focused on content rather than content-process and to the learners interest.

Therefore, in order to the school in providing proficient product of learners in coping with global competition of technology, the school should follow the idealisms of John Dewey on education.
