INTRODUCTION

The practical implementation of the information and strategies that education

students have learned in University is what we know as a practice teacher. In and

outside the classroom the student teachers practice what they have learned and are

supervised by the teachers from the university, cooperating teachers and school

principals.

Practice teaching is crucial part of every student teacher’s health during time

of pandemic. Health protocol strictly observed. Student teachers or pre - service

teachers are college students teaching under the supervision of a certified teacher in

order to qualify the degree in education.

Pre-service teachers are intended to create a portfolio not only for the

compliance for the graduation but also for many purposes.

This practice teaching portfolio was prepared and developed to provide and

share experiences for those who will undergo and the same undertaking. Some

classroom difficulties and problems that we had encountered are mentioned, and the

lesson that we had learned. The greatest value of this practice teaching portfolio is

that it serves as the mirror of the practice teacher for their progress and achievement

in their practice teaching. And, this practice teaching portfolio was prepared to

expose the pre – service teacher experiences so that they can use it in relating

theories learned inside the classroom to become globally competitive.

Another purpose of this practice teaching portfolio is that assess the pre-

service teacher’s learning for the preparation in the future life in facing the real world

1
of teaching. The pre- service teacher must do always their best in imparting

knowledge to the students. Just love your students will be embracing you too, with

the great things you’ve done for them not only in cognitive side but also in affective

and psychomotor development.

 FIELD STUDY STUDENT BIOGRAPHY

Leonila M. Duayan is currently a fourth year student at Western Philippines

University taking up Bachelor in Elementary Education. She live in Isumbo, Sofronio

Espanola, Palawan. The fifth among six childrens of Mr. Anastacio Duayan and Mrs.

Leticia Duayan. She graduated her elementary education at Isumbo Elementary

School as a fourth honor student, continued her studies as a high school student and

graduated at Abo- Abo, National High School. She also enrolled herself in Technical

Education And Skills Development Authority (TESDA) for six (6) months and earned

her NC2. Voluntered at Salve Regina School and Special Olympics Philippines (SOP)

located in Tiniguiban, Puerto, Princesa City for three (3) years where she committed

herself full time teaching students with special needs. Her love and passion to teach

chidrens is what propelled her to volunteer, for she believe that childrens like them

deserved more than what the world and people can tell, they are born for a reason

and a purpose and that they carry something deep within them which only a

devoted; reponsible teacher can see.

 BELIEFS ON TEACHING AND LAERNING (PRE)

Learning in my opinion is a necessary, innate, continuous and lifelong

process. As a future teacher, I hoped that everyone can learn and that the reasonable

expectations that will challenge all learners are well maintained. They must also be

able to express their enthusiasm for learning and see all interactions as chances to

teach and learn. Because the fundamental goal of assessment is to increase learning,

it gives students an opportunity to exhibit what they know, and for their

accomplishments to be valued. I also believe learning is a process of making things in

the world, thus, we should be concerned with understanding development and

acknowledge that concepts are built and subject to question or revision. We must

identify and adapt to individual variances and learning styles since learners are

unique and accountable for their own learning. We must also express concern and

understanding for each learner, as well as include and optimize the participation of

students in various skills and background. Learning also requires the ability to link

previous knowledge, perceptions, or pattern of experience with new experiences,

information, and settings. To do so, we must look for ways to draw on the diverse

personal, social, and cultural experience, knowledge, and abilities that learners

brings to new learning. Learning is improved when students are aware of how they

think and learn (meta- cognitive), which gives them more control over their learning

as a result, we must clearly teach thinking and learning techniques as well as model

meta- cognition.

 BELIEFS ON TEACHING AND LEARNING (POST)

As a student and as a teacher to be, I feel that keeping a high level of

motivation in the classroom is one of the most effective strategy to speed up the

learning process. While students have their own reasons for learning, we will play a

critical role in assisting learners in maintaining and increasing their motivation.

Students’ confidence can also be boosted through innovative instructional methods.

Showing learners how the class subject matters links to their own lives and the actual

world is part of creative teaching. This can assist them in gaining a stronger sense of

purpose. I believe that getting to know our potential students and knowing about

their backgrounds will assist us in developing the most relevant lesson plans.,

Tasks, in my opinion, should be tough but doable for pupils. Students beleive

they are not developing in their language acquisitions if an assignment is not

demanding enough. As a result, kids may get bored and disengaged from the

instruction. Students, on the other hand, may grow frustrated if tasks are too

difficult. As a future teacher, we must also establish a favorable environment that

allow kids to learn more. Student’s ability to learn will be hindered if they are afraid

to participate in class discussion. In the classroom, i believe it is necessary to create a

helpful and comfortable environment. I strive to accomplish this by encoouraging

students and giving them plenty of positive feedback. Instead of whole- class

discussions, I attempt to personalize every lesson topic and construct pair and group

exercises .

5
 Finally, continuous reflection and review can aid in the upkeep of good

teaching standards. We should be able to reflect on and analyze oue own teaching

techniques on regular basis. We may feel “stuck” in our routines and less motivated

to educate after working for a long time. We should to strive to attend different

training sessions or webinars organized by our university or the Commission on

Higher Education in order to keep on track and learn about some of the latest trends

in education. We can also subcribe to a number of fantastic blogs that offer a variety

of inspiring lesson ideas.

 REFLECTION ON THE FIELD STUDY AREAS OBSERVED

The entire course focuses on learner development and environment as well as

the learning environment and psychological environment that may influence

students’ learning styles. A learning- friendly physical environment might be the

result of a physical and psychological milieu that encourages student-students and

teacher- student contact. It had a significant influence on the teaching-learning

process. Every pupil is distinct and differs from the others. In Learning Episode 1, the

teacher must respect and treat all pupils equally, considering their differences. A

school that fosters a physically healthy environment is the type of school that I find

most favorable to studying. Teachers would be able to better supervise, inspire, and

engage their students in a learning environment. Every student needs to go to a

school where they may learn in an environment that is favorable to learning. It's

because there's no danger to their health or safety in doing so.

As students, we all want to attend a school where we feel comfortable learning. In my

opinion, a good school atmosphere is one in which rules and regulations are

implemented that are beneficial to all students. I want a school administration that

pays attention to student complaints and suggestions. As a result, both the school

and the kids will be able to form positive relationships with one another. A school

with appropriate and clean facilities for various courses and purposes is also my view

of a nice school environment. That way, students like me can experience the

futuristic feeling that motivates me to enroll in such a course. “This is how it feels to

work in a laboratory,” I'd think, among other things. For me, a healthy school

atmosphere is one in which the students' health, particularly their mental health, is

prioritized. According to SPARK, there were a total of 17 suicide incidents associated

18
to distant learning in 2020, which is quite concerning. I wish for a school that

responds to kids' mental and emotional health in a way that encourages them to fight

and persevere in the face of adversity, particularly during this pandemic.

A nice educational environment is also helpful for the environment. It means that we

must all consider different ways to employ recyclable materials that will help not only

the students, but also the school and the environment. This concept is also present in

clean cafeterias and canteens. Finally, a good school environment is welcoming to the

community. What I mean is that a good school that fosters positive relationships

with its community, church, government, and citizens is commendable. It's because

they've been able to establish a strong enough reputation to earn the trust of those in

the community. I am confident that this will occur, and that I will be able to study in

the school of my dreams. We must keep in mind the importance of the school

atmosphere.

First and foremost, we are the first to observe whether the school is suitable to

learning. We must also remember that security is crucial so that students feel

comfortable within the school, knowing that no one will harm them while they

continue to learn. Because we are the ones who lead the class, children will perceive

us as a role model, thus cleanliness and order should begin with us as future

instructors. We should reassure pupils that it is safe to study by physically assuring

them that the setting they are in is distraction-free. It could be pollution or rubbish

that draws their focus away from their studies. Both the teacher and the student

should have access to clean, well maintained facilities. It's because if these facilities

aren't properly maintained, they will become obsolete. Students may not be able to

learn as well as they formerly did, failing to satisfy the teachers' expectations. Finally,

it is critical to fulfill students' needs, whether they are physical, psychological, or

19
social, because we are forming a deep and healthy teacher-student relationship. We

must give the impression to the learner that we are as comfortable teaching them as

they are studying with us. Learning Episode 2 reminded me a lot of my past teachers

and how they taught us as I was seeing the pupils in various grade levels. As a future

teacher, I've learned that we should always pay attention to our students' most visible

traits so that we may build a learning atmosphere that is most appropriate for them,

as well as teach or behave in a positive manner. We should not teach children based

on our personal interests, but rather in a method that will benefit them the greatest

and make learning enjoyable for them. In Learning Episode 3, one thing I learnt

about indigenous peoples is that they do things differently than we do, but in a

beneficial way. It's like how we do things to give back to our parents, alma mater, and

city, but indigenous people work harder to give back to their elders and origins. It

was quite motivating to witness them; despite the disparities and persecution they

encounter from many cultures. Their approach of expressing gratitude for their

culture, identity, and roots is to study hard and serve the community that has taught

them new skills. The students' and teachers' work and life objectives are what I value

most from my virtual observation of a school with indigenous learners. I recall seeing

a documentary about one of the IP schools, and the teacher said, "Who else would

teach these pupils than them (teachers)?" They are deprived of financial support,

food, proper clothing, transportation, and it would be tragic if these students were

also denied of knowledge of their rights, which we all know. I admire how, despite

their lack of them, students strive to do their best in their daily lives to study well,

finish their studies, and graduate in order to attain their goals. I also applaud the

teachers who strive hard to give them the quality education they deserve. Regarding

Learning Episode 4, I recall the high and low achievers in our class back in Grade 10

from when I was in elementary or high school. Our teacher coped with ability gaps by

20
focusing on low performers on a regular basis. Our teachers would make them recite

frequently and ask them more questions in order for them to fully comprehend the

material. Our teachers would often engage in collaborative activities with students

who were both high and poor achievers. As a result, high achievers can assist low

achievers and give diverse perspectives on the subject. Low achievers might also ask

high achievers questions or seek assistance on the subject. Our teacher was effective

back then because she didn't leave any kids behind. Being approachable to my pupils

is one of the dispositions and attributes I must acquire as a future teacher to satisfy

the demands of the learners because I must create a good relationship with them so

that they will not be afraid to approach me. I also have to put myself in the shoes of a

pupil. I need to devise tactics or give things that are simple for them to comprehend.

I must not give them a difficult lesson to follow. I must not have great expectations of

my students, but rather must have reasonable expectations of them. With that, it

must lead to passionate instruction, and they will learn slowly but certainly.

EVIDENCE OF LEARNING

22
23
24
 RETROSPECTION

As a potential teacher, my primary concept is that educator must be

passionate about the class and fully invested in students’ education. Some of my

instructors used to arrived early in class, responded swiftly to communication, and

strived to provide meaningful feedback on students’ works. Some people used words

and body language to express their passion and enthusiasm. They strived hard to

avoid being the stereotype lecturer who drones on and on, as bored as the class with

the content. They told us that they expect to learn as much from us as we do from

them, and that they would like our feedback on how to make the class better. They

always strived to remind us that they are there to help us achieve significant progress

in our intellectual and professional growth. That brought me to my second principle:

the significant of fostering competent student engagement and empowering students

to own the classroom. Instructors would lay out the goal of the class. The desired

outcomes, and how grades will be calculated at the start of the semester. They asked

for feedback every month through anonymous survey throughout the semester and

customized the class to meet the needs of the students. Even when students like me

are doing well with the content. I have learned that teacher should value the

opportunity to speak up and have our opinion be heard about how the class is going.

Observing our teacher, I’ve discovered that some seemingly insignificant

characteristics of teaching have major impact on the level of students engagement.

Many professors think that attending class or homework is the responsibility and

option of the students as adult. However, we must keep in mind that the students

have other legitimate duties that compete for their time. When attendance is not

required, student may choose to skip classes. If reading is never mentioned, pupils

25
may never get around picking up a book. I need to set high criteria for attendance

and study habits if I want my class to be truly rewarding. My third principle is that it

is vital to encourage students to collaborate and learn from one another. Icebreaker

exercises, encouraging students to learn each other’s’ names and having frequent

class discussions all help to establish environment where students feel and ease

working together. They gain the importance of communication and cooperation skills

while also engaging with the class materials. Of course, even with these three

principles in place, problems will always arise. But, remember these things helps me

work toward to aim of my personal statement, which is to teach passionately and

create a welcoming learning environment for students so that I can conduct a class

that fosters participations. Personally, I believe that teaching will be more enjoyable

when students are involved and interested, and when they speak out, ask questions

and even debate.

Thursday at 7:30 in the morning our cooperating teacher asked to help her in

checking the books of her students. We checked 9 books of the grade 5 science book

from chapter 1 until chapter 4. While checking this book some of the other students

did not answer some activities even the teacher gave the answer from their online

consultation, maybe because some of them are absent from that moment. We also

checked 8 numbers of books of grade 4 ESP book from aralin 1 to aralin 5. I observed

that some students are not good in constructing sentence even it is in Filipino

subjects. 8 books of English 4 were also checked from lesson 1 to 5, and I observed

from the answer they wrote to their books are some of them are not following the

instruction maybe they do not really understand the directions given from books

that’s why their answers did not match to what the book wants to do. In this case, I

realized that I should be more considerate in giving a score to my student and the

same time fair is also be promoted in this kind of problem especially during this time

of pandemic we should understand what they were trying to say on their answers on

the activity given by book.
