In-Campus Student Teaching Journal



In-Campus
STUDENT TEACHING JOURNAL
Week no. 1

Period: June 21-23, 2011

I. Activities Done
                On the 1st day of our In-campus internship, we introduced ourselves to our first year high school students who gave us a warm welcome.
On the 2nd day, we observed the class and after that, our critic teacher, Mrs. Desiree Donesa, assigned a topic for us to discuss in the following day.
On the 3rd day, we discussed the topic: Techniques in studying effectively in behalf of Ma’am Donesa who is in a meeting that time. The first year students really paid attention to our topic and they interacted with us. In the afternoon of the same day, we went to the College Multi-Purpose Hall together with our students to witness the grand rally of the candidates of the Supreme Student Government.
On the 4th day, we observed the class and we were assigned to be the judges in a group activity in connection with basics in taking down notes. And after the class, we bade goodbye to our students, telling them that we will be assigned to the Second year level the following week.
II. Insights Gained
                In this level, I noticed that our students are in the stage of adjusting with each others’ behavior since they came from different schools when they were in elementary level. I also noticed that most of them love to have group activities.
                I can say that the students were really paying attention to what the teacher is saying. And they pay attention to what they consider important.
                When I got the chance to handle a class with them, I noticed that they really take down notes and asking questions if there are some unclear ideas for them.
                Another thing I found out is that most of them really love music and when we ask some to sing, they were very proud to show what they got.
                At the end of the week, I can say that these students are easy to handle and go along with since they are fresh from elementary level and they are very eager to learn so many things.

Week no. 2

Period: June 27-July 1, 2011

I. Activities Done
                On our 1st day with the second year level, we introduced ourselves to them after the teaching demonstration of the last member of the group 2. The 2nd year students also gave us a warm welcome but not as warm as the 1st year. Then after that Ma’am Donesa assigned us the topics for our demo.
                On the 3rd day, Ms. Baterbonia and Ms. Argayoso handled the class. On the 4th, Ms. Banguanga and Ms. Bravo handled the class.
                On the last day, I, together with Ms. Antiporda and Ms. Amistoso handled the class and we discussed about idiomatic expressions. We made use of what we have learned in Educational Technology subject. We had a game before we started with our lesson and introduced them the 20 most common idiomatic expressions.
                The students actively participated in the discussion and I can say that there are no dull moments inside the classroom (maybe because we used the DLP as our instructional material).
II. Insights Gained
                In this level, I can say that this bunch of students is really brilliant when it comes to their answers and when it comes to class participation. They are more matured than of the 1st year.
                From the beginning of the class until the end, none of them was bored. And by the time the teacher is in front of them, they show respect and they know when to keep silent and be jolly.
                Since we gave them examples which cannot be found in their textbooks, they jot down notes and paid a close attention to the discussion and all of the answers in the game were answered by them correctly.
I noticed that there are some of them who are really outrageous but you need patience (that’s what teaching is all about).
I also learned that most of them enjoy the PowerPoint presentation as an instructional material. These students are easy to teach because they are bright and they read in advance.

Week no. 3

Period: July 4-9, 2011

I. Activities Done
                On our 1st day with the third year level, we introduced ourselves to them after the teaching demonstration of the last member of the group 2. The 3rd year students also gave us a warm welcome but not as warm as the 1st year. Then after that Ma’am Donesa assigned us the topics for our demo.
                On the 2nd day, Ms. Antiporda and Mr. Amazona handled the class. On the 3rd, Ms. Argayoso and Ms. Baterbonia handled the class. And Ms. Bravo and Ms. Banguanga did their demonstration.
                On the last day, I and Ms. Amistoso handled the class and we discussed about Direct and Indirect Speech. We made use of the Traditional Materials as our visual aids. We had a game before we started with our lesson and introduced them the rules and basics on how to transpose a direct to indirect speech.
                After the demonstration, it was announced to them that they ranked 2nd in the National Achievement Test that was conducted last year.

II. Insights Gained
                In this level, I can say that students are smart but sometimes they tend to keep quite even if they know the answer.
                I also noticed that they are more developed and demure (they easily act in response with issues pertaining to love).
                In this level, many of them are stern when it comes to studying and I noticed that they always follow instructions. They might be diverse from the previous class that we handled but they are also brilliant just the way they are.
                I also realized that as an educator you should always see to it that the vigor from the beginning of the class should be sustained until the last. And as a teacher, you should always give them activities that will surely fascinate their minds and will let them think critically.

Week no. 4
Period: July 12-16, 2011
I. Activities Done
                On our 1st day with the third year level, we introduced ourselves to them after the teaching demonstration of the last member of the group 2. The 4th year students also gave us a warm welcome.
On this week were able to deliver our final demonstration for our In-Campus Training. On the 2nd day, Ms. Antiporda and Mr. Amazona handled the class. On the 3rd, Ms. Argayoso and Ms. Baterbonia handled the class. And Ms. Bravo and Ms. Banguanga did their demonstration.
                On the last day, I and Ms. Amistoso handled the class and we discussed about the origin of the world and the story of creation according to the Greek Mythology. We made use of the DLP and the Laptop as mediums in discussion. After the discussion we let the class divide themselves into three: Olympians, Titans and Demi Gods. They made us of the stuff toys inside their classroom.

II. Insights Gained
                Students at this stage are smart. There might be students who are not that easy to deal with but at the end of the day, it is always the way your lesson is delivered that matters.
                I also observed that these students are really active when it comes to class participation and they always enjoy role playing. I realized that as an educator, you always have to see to it that your communicative skills are enough and can satisfy the academic needs of your students in terms of explaining to them some vague issues.
