    The document describes an activity where the learner observes students of different ages to understand their characteristics and needs. It provides guidance on observing students' physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. The learner is asked to record their observations of preschool, elementary, and high school students in a development matrix. This will allow the learner to compare characteristics and needs across age levels. The learner is also prompted to reflect on how their observations inform implications for teaching and their own experiences as a student.

    Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to observe learners of different ages and grade levels.

    It highlights
    the differences in their characteristics and needs. As a future teacher, it is important for me to determine my learners'
    characteristics and needs so that I will be able to plan and implement learning activities and assessment that are all
    developmentally appropriate.

    At the end of this Episode, I must be able to describe the characteristics, needs and interests of learners from
    different developmental levels. (3.1.1)

    Here are major principles of development relevant to this Episode:

    1. Development is relatively orderly. Development follows directional patterns such as, from the head to the toe
    (cephalocaudal), and from the center of the body then outwards (proximodistal).
    2. Development takes place gradually.
    3. All domains of development and learning-physical, social and emotional, and cognitive- are important, and they
    are closely interrelated. (NAEYC, 2009)
    4. Development proceeds toward greater complexity, self-regulation, symbolic or representational capabilities.
    (NAEYC, 2009)

    Activity 2.1

    Observing Learners’ Characteristics at Different Age Levels

    Resource Teacher : __________________________________________ Signature: _______________________

    Grade/Year Level: ___________________________________________ Subject Area: ____________________

    School: ____________________________________________________ Date: __________________________

    To realize the Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work your way through these steps:

    Step 1 Observe 3 groups of learners from different levels (preschool, elem., and high school).

    Step 2 Describe each of the learners based on my observations.

    Step 3 Validate my observation by interviewing the learners.

    Step 4 Compare them in terms of their interests and needs.

    Use the observation guide and matrices provided for you to document your observations.

    1|Page
    An Observation Guide for the Learners' Characteristics
    Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation report on the provided space. Your
    teacher may also recommend another observation checklist if a more detailed observation is preferred.

    Physical
    1. Observe their gross motor skills how they carry themselves, how they move, walk, run, go up the stairs, etc.

    2. Are gross movements clumsy or deliberate/smooth?

    3. How about their fine motors skills? Writing, drawing, etc.

    Social
    1. Describe how they interact with teachers and other adults.

    2. Note how they also interact with peers. What do they talk about? What are their concerns?

    Emotional
    1. Describe the emotional disposition or temperament of the learners.(happy, sad, easily cries, mood- shifts)

    2. How do they express their wants/needs? Can they wait?

    3. How do they handle frustrations?

    4. Describe their level of confidence as shown in their behavior. Are they self-conscious?

    Cognitive
    1. Describe their ability to use words to communicate their ideas. Note their language proficiency.

    2. Describe how they figure out things. Do they comprehend easily? Look for evidence of their thinking skills.

    3. Were there opportunities for problem solving?

    Learner’s Development Matrix

    Record the data you gathered about the learner’s characteristics and needs in this matrix. This will allow you to
    compare the characteristics and needs of learners at different levels. The items under each domain are by no means
    exhaustive. These are just sample indicators. You may add other aspects which you may observed.

    Write the most salient developmental characteristics of the learners you observed. Based on these characteristics, think
    of implications for the teacher.

    Example:

    Level Salient Characteristics Observed Implications to the Teaching and


    Learning Process
    Preschool  Preschoolers like to move  Therefore, the teacher
    Age range of learners observed 3-4 around a lot should remember to use
    music and movement
    activities not just in PE but in
    all subject areas.
     Therefore, teachers should
    not expect preschoolers to
    stay seated for a long period
    of time.

    Level Salient Characteristics Observed Implications to the Teaching and


    Learning Process
    Preschool
    Age range of learners observed ____

    Elementary
    Age range of learners observed ____

    High School
    Age range of learners observed ____

    1. While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experiences when you were their age? What
    similarities or differences do you have with the learners you observed?
