...pat answers, even answers provided by so-called experts (Johnson, Musial, Hall, & Gollnick, 2011). The Role of the Teacher The role of teachers in the American culture has changed from the old “show-and-tell” practice to a more active role in child development. Instruction does not consist primarily of lecturing to students who sit in rows of desk and take notes, but rather, offers every child a rich, rewarding, and unique learning experience. The educational environment is not confined to the classroom but extends into the home and the community and around the world. Information is not bound primarily in books; it is available everywhere in bits and bytes (Lanier, 1997). In the past, teachers were told what, when, and how to teach. They were required to educate every student the same way and were not held responsible where many failed to learn. Today, teachers are encouraged to adapt and adopt new practices that acknowledge both the art and science of learning. They understand that the essence of education is a close relationship between a knowledgeable, caring adult and a secure, motivated child (Lanier, 1997). My personal philosophy goes a step further in bridging the bound between the student and the teacher by encouraging individual expression and relating learning to the student interests and hobbies. Personal Educational...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Reading is a way of life. We do reading in our day to day activities, from boarding the bus with the designated signboard to deciphering warning signs in the roads, business letters, and correspondence in the offices schools and even in our own homes. We need reading skills in cooking, reading the labels and instructions and even following directions in using our household gadgets. Reading is a complex process between a reader and a text. (Wedgewood J. 2009). It is simple yet difficult task because it is composed of many interconnected sub-skills that once mastered will make reading flow easily as normal as breathing. As Richard Steele had enunciated, “Reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body.” Another important aspect of Reading is that between the written text and the reader, there should be interaction. This interaction is called comprehension. It is a phase of reading where after decoding the text people react to it. Hence, reading without the concept of understanding is not reading but vocalizing. Putting it simply, reading should have comprehension. Unfortunately, poor comprehension is the prevalent disease of learners today. Thus, the researcher has initiated this action research to show the importance of encouraging the mastery of reading. Make everyone aware of it as an important tool to be incorporated in all subjects. Through this Reading Remedial Program, development of comprehension will be enhanced with activities focusing...

...Introduction – Education at present is in a flux. The system of Education at all level has changed, is changing & will continue to change as and when it is required. There is an agreement on all sides that the academic education is to be replaced by practical & dynamic education which is related to life. The main account in modern education is on the awaking of curiosity, the stimulation of creativity, the development of proper interests, attitudes & values & the builing of essential skills such as independent study & capacity to think and judge for oneself. In modern education, students are encouraged to explore, to ask questions, to study themselves & to be creative. In this modern education audio-visual aids are more important because in modern teaching- learning process 85% of teaching is related to the audio visual aids. It is now established that audio -visual aids work as potent initiators. In the past the teacher was considered to be the soverign as far as the teaching -learning process was concerned. The role of the students was mostly passive. Modern trends have changed the face of educational world. Many progressive methods have come in the wake of these trends. Yet the traditional methods are not being given up altogether, they are “being modified and adjusted to the changed concepts and situations.” Multimedia Approach & Instructional Development – Educational Technology can be called systematic...

...curriculum methods and techniques to teach as well as policy, organization and leadership (Ornstein& Hunkins, 2014). People have different understandings of learning theories and different beliefs and opinions about how people process information and learn new material. Their beliefs may derive from personal knowledge, self-reflection, performance of others, research, and from trying to educate or convince others to adopt their way of thinking (Wang, 2012). According to Shuell (2013) the various theories are pertinent to different kinds of learning and may be similar. Nonetheless, they provide different viewpoints on the difficult aspects of learning and go hand in hand in their capacity to clarify different kinds of learning conditions. Consequently, completely different theories are pertinent to the classroom by speaking to several elements of classroom learning. Theories of learning are attempts to describe how people learn. Various theories center on different traditions and are suitable for clarifying certain educational conditions but not others. Theories of learning may be able to advise instruction and suggest different educational resources to include new forms of technology. At the end of the day, the instructional activities in which the student undertakes will determine what the student learns in the classroom. Classroom learning entails many dynamics, such as the amount of participation, the social aspect of the school and community as well as the emotional...

TERESITA M. SORIQUEZ Professor Date Submitted: OCTOBER 27, 2012 1. An administrator/ principal/ teacher plays a very important role in improving the culture of the school-especially nowadays that Philippine Education has been running on empty. They should provide what little resources they can share for education. They should be properly motivated and dedicated to their chosen profession so that the vision, mission and goals of the school will be attained. They should identify who to serve and what to serve in the community so that they can manage the school or the classroom well. They should focus on teaching/ managing the learners on how they can apply their learnings on their everyday living. 2. I can say that in my school, instructional supervision is well-managed. Our school head focuses on the improvement of the instruction. She checks our lesson plans/ daily lesson log. Every now and then, she makes sure that her teachers are teaching their pupils. She encourages the pupils to study well as well as the teachers to teach with their hearts. She reminds us the real meaning of teaching especially when we complain about our pupils. She observes classes once a week. After observation, she arranges a post...

...the real life situations. This paper shall take a look at this outcome in terms of the various conceptions of the curriculum that Eisner and Vallance have laid out in their paper entitled “Five Conceptions of Curriculum: Their Roots and Implications for Curriculum Planning.” Keeping this in mind, it is vital for us to understand that even though it is the children that present us with the outcome of a curriculum, it is the teachers’ job to lead them to it. It is thus very important for the teachers to be professional and that they undergo specific professional development programs. Conceptions of Curriculum 1. The cognitive process approach to curriculum: a. Pedagogy In this regard, the teachers would need to focus on ‘how’ to teach the students instead of what they are teaching. With respect to our outcome, it is imperative that the teacher teaches the children to extract the relevant information from a given worded problem and then to figure out whether the addition or the subtraction operator has to be used. This is sometimes very hard to convey to the children and the teachers must find a way in order to get through to the students. It is not just important that the children learns how to add and subtract after reading the problem, it...
