Field Study 1

This is the first experiential course, which will immerse a future teacher to actual classroom situation and learning environment where direct observation of teaching learning episodes that focuses on the application of educational theories learned in content and pedagogy courses will be made. Observations on learner’s behavior motivation, teacher’s strategies of teaching, classroom management, and assessment in learning among others shall be given emphasis. Likewise, this course is designed to help FS students in validating the diversity among learners in the actual learning environment. It will require them to recognize feasible approaches to facilitate learning considering the learner’s different phases of development and social environment. A portfolio shall be required in the course.

This site is about my journey as an Field Study 2 student. This E- portfolio served as my reflection tool to reflect on the things that I have observed during the observation period. As a matter of fact, you will get to learn about me, my goals as I relate myself to the real world of teaching.

Teacher Wynwyn!

Do not expect much from me.

I am an echo slowly subsiding in an empty hallway. I am rarely the answer but mostly the question. I am an 11 pm sober and a 7 am drunk. I am an empty carousel. I am an unrestrained home. I am an abandoned memory and blurred vision of future. I am a slow dancer in the dark and sleeping auction of unappreciated artworks. I am the dried roses gasping for air for the last time.

I am poetry with broken lines, a poem written in twisted anagrams. I am name carved in an unrecognized tree in a wide forest. I am a long-run bridge with dead street lights. I am a prayer nobody speaks when not needed. I am a jigsaw puzzle of plain black color. I am a mess nobody wants to clean. I am a secret kept inside the closet. I am a fireworks bursting against the rain. I am the unwanted letter kept behind the drawer, a fading picture thrown up in the attic. I am a dust shoved beneath the carpet. I am a hopeless chance and a steady remorse people regret meeting. I am a too-late. I am a wrong verdict. I am a bad choice. I am a no-second-chance. I am a vacant stare. I am the discovery of error.

Do not expect much from me.

You will seek for your history in me when you’re lost but I am a torn map. You will leave your ghost in my room when you want to breakthrough without a burden but I have broken door knobs. You will look for lines you could read but I was never made to be a writer. You will look for yourself in me only to realize I am as lost as you.

Sometimes, I had to attend seminars, orientations, and teacher conferences that I can’t possibly bail out from. It frustrates me to skip education lectures, and it frustrates me more that I couldn’t develop a perfect strategy to balance my studies at all precisely. But I had to bear it because I can’t give up either.

I figured that one doesn’t simply sign themselves up on this kind of feat without having a great deal of determination to see things through. Because the road to pass through is certainly not plain and straight.

If I wasn’t determined enough, I would have given up a long time ago already. I just thought to myself, yes, it’s been really hard, but I can still go on. I can still do it. So I decided to keep going at it.

You see, struggles exist to give you a hard time. But the advantage, we people have over struggles is that, it were all just a series of complicated events. But we on the other hand, have brains that can work things out. We are capable of thinking up solutions, and we have a passionate heart that keeps the fire of our desires burning.

So you may be doing two, three, or many other things at once, but don’t lose to struggle. My journey itself is not yet over and I’m continuing this fight until the end.

I deserve the rewards at the end so I will see things through, and for all the hardships, I will definitely win. So I’m telling you, you should too!
