FIELD STUDfiY 1 & 2

Field Study 1 (Observations of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment)

In Field Study 1, the students focused on observation, analysis, and reflection. 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 focus on the application of educational theories learned in content and pedagogy courses will be made. Observations on learners’ behavior, motivation, and teacher’s strategies of teaching, classroom management, and assessment in learning among others shall be given emphasis. A portfolio shall be required in the course.

Field Study 2 (Participation and Teaching Assistantship)

In Field Study 2, the student takes a more active role and gets involved in the teaching-learning process. The student continues to be a keen observer but simultaneously participates in the tasks involved in the different aspects of the instructional process.

A school-based course which allows pre-service teachers to participate and assist in limited actual teaching-learning activities that relate to classroom management, preparation of the learning environment and instructional materials, delivery of instruction, and assessment. A portfolio which will contain sample lesson or learning plans and demonstration teaching of at least one subject content will be required. An action research shall be encouraged to start in this course and conclude during the internship.
