INTRODUCTION

“The only source of knowledge is experience”
-Albert Einstein

            In the pursuant of the New Teacher Educational Curriculum of Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Memorandum Order No. 30 Series 2004 or also known as “Revised  Policies  And  Standards  For  Undergraduate Teacher Education Curriculum”. The Field Study Courses are the additional subject in new implemented curriculum of Teacher Education. The Field Study is the big transformational challenge to the students of Teacher Education degree programs to explore the practical learning experiences in which they can observe, verify, reflect on, and actually experience different components of the teaching-learning processes in actual school settings.

            The fourth year student teachers of Teacher Education have the three Field Study these are the Field Study 4 “Exploring the Curriculum”, Field Study 5 “Learning Assessment Strategies”, and Field Study 6 “On Becoming a Teacher”. These are the last Field Study to be taken up by the student teachers because the Field Study 1 and 2 was obtained in the second year, and, Field Study 3 was taken in the third year.

            In relation about the Field Study, the practical learning experiences of the FS students are compiling to reflect the insight gained of all the actual learning experiences during the observation and participation at the respective cooperating school of the student teachers. The content of this document is the narration of experiences while the student teachers are going to answer the three sets of Field Study module which they can understand the role and routine of the teacher during the classroom discussion and other related school activities prior on the teaching and learning processes. This will serve as a pre-service of teacher for the primary and secondary educational sectors to improve the quality of education, to develop effective teachers in the Philippines and to keep pace with the demands of global competitiveness.

NARRATION OF EXPERIENCE

            In the afternoon of August 01, 2014 this was the remarkable day of being a fourth year college student because it was our deployment day in our chosen cooperating school. We are eleven student teachers from different majors who were deployed in Linga National High School at Linga Pila, Laguna. This school is my alma mater that is why I am excited and happy to come back here to do my observation and participation in my Field Study subject. My alma mater the Linga National High School helped me a lot to develop my personality and my whole potential as a person. During our deployment day we are accompanied and assisted of our Field Study Coordinators/Instructors, they are Dr. Josefina de Jesus (BSEd FS Instructor), Dr. Henly Martirez (BEEd FS Instructor) and Prof. June Tuiza (BSIE FS Instructor). They had a little conversation with the Linga NHS Principal I, Mr. Greg M. Ibesate about the tasks that we were going to do to our cooperating school as an observer.

            On August 02, 2014, we the student teachers had a short orientation with the principal. We introduced our self to the principal one by one and the principal also introduced himself formally. The orientation that Mr. Ibesate discussed to us are the rules and regulation of the school, the task that we are only need to do based on the Memorandum of Agreement of the Laguna State Polytechnic University and DepEd Laguna, and he gave the name of the teacher that was assigned to us as our cooperating teacher in the first semester.  After the orientation I met my cooperating teacher his name is Mr. Gilmore S. Reyes Jr. a grade 8 Science teacher. He graduated at Laguna College (now, Laguna University) taken up BSEd major in Biological Science.  He is the adviser of the Grade 8-Apricot and he has a teaching load of MAPEH in IV-Einstein. Before the day was end I fixed and settled all of my requirements and the schedule of my observation and participation with the help of my cooperating teacher. We also tackled the date when I would start my observation to his class. He also asked me about my personal information and why I chose this course as my profession in the future.

            I met all the students of Mr. Reyes Jr. the Grade 8-Apricot, Basil, Cayenne, Dill, Eucalyptus, Fleur delis and IV-Einstein on August 05, 2014,. He made a small message to advice his students to respect all the student teachers then I introduced myself about my personal information, achievements and educational information or attainment.  I gave them a short inspiration message to study hard and make their high school life happy and enjoyable together with their classmates and teachers.

            I always observed that my cooperating teacher used different teaching strategies or techniques to make the discussion clear and understandable. He also used varied activities to strengthen the learners multiple intelligences.  He promotes the learners’ development and improves the level of knowledge of the learners with the used effective teaching and learning processes. He used various instructional materials to get the attention of the learners and he also motivated the learners to boost their interest to listen and participate in the classroom discussion. After the discussion he assessed the learners using different assessment methods to determine if they really understood the lesson. He made the discussion very lively without a doll moment that would result to the good interaction between the teacher and students.

            My cooperating teacher Mr. Reyes Jr. was very particular to the classroom management such as the seating arrangement, ventilation, lighting, bulletin board, cleanliness and orderliness of his advisory classroom. He administered the organization of the classroom especially the school has a program about the classroom management. The entire classrooms will be rank every month based on the set criteria and the grade and section who will win will receive certificate and cleaning materials as rewards.

            Mr. Reyes Jr. had concerned to all students most especially to his advisory class the Grade 8-Apricot. He is very supportive, loving and caring to them. He helped the students to solve the problems at home and even at school matters. There are times that he was mad and anger because of the noise of the students while he discussing the lesson.

            When my cooperating teacher was not around the school and busy due of school works and activities I was the one who took over his classes. I just used the instructional materials he prepared and I do the same way how he discussed the topic. Sometimes I only administer the formative assessment and facilitate the activity in the Science.

            I also experienced to be a proctor in the First Periodical Examination of the students in Linga National High School on August 19, 201. Me and my cooperating teacher assigned as a proctor of Grade 7-A. We started in a short prayer to get the guidance of our Almighty God and the procedures on answering the examination. I helped him in administering and supervising students while as they take the examination. The students were focused and quiet in answering a mind boggling questions. They didn’t look the paper of their seatmates because they were very confident and competitive.

            The Science Department Head Mrs. Nellie Militante requested us (the LSPU student teachers) to join the Science tour on September 10, 2014, at University of the Philippines Los Baňos, Laguna for primarily reason to assist the students while they were on the trip. We monitored the behavior of the students and we assure the safety of all students who assigned to us. It was quite difficult because we are in-charged and liable to whatever might happened to the students whether it is good or bad during the educational fieldtrip. Even though the responsibility assigned to our hands are difficult I had time to enjoy this tour because of doing selfie with my students and my co-Student Teachers.  I learned so many things in this activity such as on how to assist students during the tour or educational fieldtrip, on how to control and keep them safe outside the school premises.

            I attended the Science Camp of the school on September 25, 2014 that wants to open the mind of the students to become an environmentalist. The students act as an environmentalist that promotes the conservation and leads the protection of our natural resources. They have a symposium relating on the cause of global warming to our mother earth and the movement of different non-government organization like the group of students to stop destruction of the earth. The students really enjoyed the camp because of the activities and most importantly the main event of the camp, the Mr. and Ms. Kalikasan 2014.  The 18 contestants, 10 handsome gentlemen and 8 gorgeous ladies wore recyclable materials from the plastics, papers and others. The costumes were looked very expensive even it was not and it was colorful that gives attraction to the viewers. They were also smart in expressing their message based on the word they have picked on the bowl. It only certified that the contestants were not just beautiful or handsome but they also prove that they were all brilliant.

            October 09, 2014, the last day of my observation and participation in my cooperating school I will really miss my students even they are noisy and importunate. They make me strong to survive in this field of practice and they make me fall in love in teaching like it’s jumping out of a plane and falling to the ground where you can’t even control your terminal velocity due to gravity which keeps us “FALLING” all over again.

            I would like to thank Mr. Greg M. Ibesate Principal 1 my cooperating principal for allowing us to conduct an observation and participation to his school, Mr. Gilmore S, Reyes Jr. my cooperating teacher for sharing his different teaching strategies and also for the advice on how to become an effective teacher in the near future, and last for my supportive students of Linga National High School for the wonderful experiences we have shared to each another. I can never forget all them because they feel with me on how to be a teacher I will treasure all of the moments we had since of my first observation in their class. All of you them now are part of my success!!!
