TEACHING METHODS OF THE TEACHER I OBSERVED
Based on the results of observations during the week, I found that the teaching method used by my cooperating teacher, Ma'am Oberos Patricia B. is student-centered. She teaches in a structured manner and always gives clear instructions in class. Learning begins with praying together, greetings, checking student attendance and performance. In the learning process, she conveys basic concepts first so that they are easy for students to understand, provides explanations through PowerPoint media, and uses discussion methods and learning projects. She also gives students the opportunity to ask questions if there is something they do not understand.
Teaching Method Based on Project
My cooperating teacher emphasizes project-based learning, allowing students to directly observe and tackle real-world problems assigned by the teacher, guided throughout the process. She consistently mentors and closely monitors students as they work on their projects. Whenever students encounter challenges or misunderstandings, she patiently provides detailed explanations to prevent misconceptions. After completing their projects, students present their findings to the class, where the teacher evaluates their work based on a pre-established rubric.
At the end of the lesson, students greet the teacher and move on to the next schedule.
LEARNING MATERIALS AND INNOVATION
During the learning process in class, my cooperating teacher uses interesting interactive PowerPoint teaching materials. In project-based learning about "Egg Drop" and "Vector Applications," he uses simple materials that are often found in everyday life, such as boiled eggs, old newspapers, rope, tape, scissors, rulers, pens, scientific calculators, protractors, digital compasses, and distance measuring applications. All of these materials are easy to find and access.
Learning Materials During Learning Process
The teacher only provides worksheets containing procedures and questions, so that students can immediately follow the steps given. This activity is very useful for developing students' psychomotor and critical thinking skills, encouraging their active involvement, and creating fun learning so that students do not get bored easily.
SOURCES OF LEARNING AND TECHNOLOGY
USED BY TEACHER
Ma'am Oberos, Patricia B. used the book General Physics 1 (second d Edition) by Apodaca, D.C. (2020), published by Diwa Learning, as the primary source in his teaching for the 12th grade STEM A-F classes. This book provides easy-to-understand explanations of basic physics concepts, complemented by relevant practical examples. It also includes detailed problem solutions, helping students understand the steps required to solve them. The book is renowned for its approach that combines theory with practical applications. The book uses visual illustrations to clarify concepts, helping readers understand more abstract topics. The problems are designed to hone students' analytical skills, while the applied examples allow readers to see how physics theory applies to everyday life.
Textbook used for 12th Grade
Ma’am Oberos uses a variety of additional sources to enhance the material presented to students. She utilizes sources from the library as well as from the internet, including trusted sites and videos from credible YouTube channels. This approach ensures that the information presented is always accurate, relevant, and in accordance with the latest scientific developments. By combining various sources, Ma'am Oberos can provide a richer and more comprehensive understanding to students.
The technology used in this learning includes interactive PowerPoint presentations displayed through a TV projector to clarify the material visually. In addition, in the learning project activities, Ma'am Oberos utilizes a digital compass and a digital distance measuring device found on each student's cellphone. By using this tool, students can make measurements independently, so they can better understand the concepts learned practically and practice their technological skills in the context of real-world physics learning.
