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.
OBSERVE
Use the observation guide and matrices provided for you to document your observation.
Physical
1. Observe their gross motor skills how they carry themselves. How they move, walk, run, go up the
stairs, etc.
2. Are gross movement clumsy or deliberate/smooth?
3. How about their fine motors skills? Writing, drawing, etc.
Social
1. Describe how they interact with the 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 cry, mood-
shifts)
2. How do they express their wants/needs? Can they wait?
3. How do they handle frustration?
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 to 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? Describe how they showed problem solving
abilities.
Record the data you gathered about the learners, 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.

ANALYZE
Write the most salient developmental characteristics of the learners you observed. Based on those
characteristics, think of implications for the teacher.
Example:
Elementary
Age range of learners

High School

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

2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reason. How did she/he help
or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional, social, and cognitive)? How did it
affect you?
