1. D: Howard Gardner first introduced the concept of multiple intelligences. His theory rests on the idea that there are multiple ways to understand or 'to know.' Every individual will have strengths and weaknesses in learning, but everyone will learn in different ways. The seven commonly identified intelligences are: verbal/linguistic, existential, logical/mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual/spatial, musical/rhythmic, bodily/kinesthetic, and naturalist. Each intelligence can be used to help identify the way in which a student understands the world around him or her.

2. B: When teaching a new group of students, the teacher must design instruction that will be at an appropriate level of challenge. If course work is too easy or too challenging, the students may lose confidence and interest early on. If samples of past work or performance on tests are available, the teacher should review these whenever possible. Doing so will give him or her insight into the students' past instruction and abilities. However, the teacher should also be sure to provide a current assessment of some type to account for changes in classroom environment and knowledge retention. The teacher should ensure that students meet objectives for the end of the term or course, but will need to begin at an ability-appropriate level for the students.

3. C: Using extensions is a vital part of classroom instruction: students must have opportunities to take the learning process beyond information presented by the teacher inside the classroom. All students need opportunities to use what they have learned in class and apply (or extend) the information to other skill areas. The third choice provides students with a direct application of classroom material on biodiversity by observing plants and animals at the lake. Students also incorporate journaling and research techniques to complement their studies. Finally, each entry must incorporate classroom material so that students are making connections between what they have learned and their current activities.

4. C: Metaphors and analogies are often taught in Language courses, but can be useful teaching tools in all subjects. When a teacher presents new concepts, he or she can use these tools to help students compare them to previously-learned

information. For example, the teacher might help students understand how their eyes work by comparing them to a camera. Metaphors and analogies use slightly different language to accomplish the same goal: comparing two unlike things. However, one method need not be used before or in place of another.

5. C: Young children at a Kindergarten or 1st-grade level are still learning to sit still, read and write fluently, and increase attention spans. For these reasons, the classroom environment should provide a variety of activities and seating spaces. Certain activities require certain body positions; for instance, when writing, students should be seated at a desk of the appropriate height, but for a group lesson or discussion, students might be able to sit in a circle on the floor. In this choice, each activity determines the type of seating and space allotted, increasing likelihood that students will achieve the intended learning outcomes.

CURRICULUM APPROACHES (Curriculum Development) CURRICULUM APPROACHES The curriculum approaches reflect the developer’s philosophy, view of reality, history, psychology, social issues and the domains of knowledge. Analysis of an approach provides information about personal and collective commitments to a particular viewpoint and the values deemed important by individuals, school and society. 1.

TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

The curriculum developers which may include specialists, superintendents, principals and coordinators are likened to engineers and architects who use instruments and empirical methods in preparing a blueprint with well defined elements orderly-sequenced procedures and quality control measures to increase the probability of success in its implementation 2.

BEHAVIORAL-RATIONAL APPROACH

It is a means-end approach. Curricula developed through this approach become the actual blueprints which prescribe the roles of key figures in the educative process. Viewing the curricula as the means and instruction as the end is a behavioral orientation

3.

SYSTEMS-MANAGERIAL APPROACH

Motivate interest of all stakeholders. Encourage participation and involvement of all stakeholders. Synthesize divergent viewpoints. Monitor curriculum implementation. Create a climate of innovation and change. 4.

INTELLECTUAL-ACADEMIC APPROACH

It emphasizes the importance of theories and principles in curriculum planning. This model is influenced by the philosophy of John Dewey. 5.

NON-TECHNICAL/NON-SCIENTIFIC APPROACH

Flexible and less structured without pre-determined objectives to guide the learningteaching process. Contends that not all ends of education can be known nor indeed to be known in all cases. 6.

HUMANISTIC-AESTHETIC APPROACH

It argues that those who favor the rational approach miss the artistic and personal aspects of curriculum and instruction. It is rooted in progressive philosophy which promotes the liberation of learners from authoritarian teachers.

7.

RECONCEPTUALIST APPROACH

It criticizes the technocratic-scientific models as not sensitive to the inner feelings and experience of individuals. It reflects on existentialist orientation. The aim of education is not to control instruction in order to preserve existing order. 8.

RECONSTRUCTIONISM

The school is an institution of social reform. It criticizes the progressivists for putting too much emphasis on the individual learner to the neglect of the needs of society. 9.

ECLECTIC MODEL

Oftentimes, Filipino educators, in particular, prefer eclectic models (halo-halo) which are a combination of several approaches, rather than commit themselves to one particular approach only. Eclectic models are not mere patchwork (pagtagpi-tagpi) but a synthesis (pagbuo(pagbuo o paghahabi) where desired features from several models are selected and integrated into a new whole. - See more at: http://syndicaeduc.blogspot.com/2012/09/curriculum-approachescurriculum.html#sthash.7c07ruuB.dpuf - See more at: http://syndicaeduc.blogspot.com/2012/09/curriculum-approachescurriculum.html#sthash.7c07ruuB.dpuf

PAMAMARAAN, ISTRATEHIYA AT DULOG SA PAGTUTURO NG FILIPINO

Legal Bases of Philippine Education

Hinihingi ng mabisa at mabilis na pagtuturo ang pag-gamit ng mabubuting pamamaraan ng pagtuturo. Nakasaalay sa mabuting pamaraan ng pagtuturo ang matagumpay, kawili-wili at mabisang pagkatuto ng mag-aaral at pagtuturo ng guro. Walang isang paraan lamang na masasabing sadyang mabisa para sa lahat ng uri ng paksang aralin o isang pamamaraan kaya na angkop gamitin sa lahat ng pagkakataon. Kaya ang guro ang nagbabalak at nagpapasya sa pamamaraang kanyang gagamitin na angkop sa bunga ng pagkatuto na nais niyang makamtan ng mag-aaral, angkop sa sitwasyon, angkop sa kakayahan ng mag-aaral at gayon din sa uri ng paksang-aralin at asignaturang kanyang itinuturo.

1.

PAMARAANG PABUOD O INDUCTIVE METHOD

Ang pamaraang ito ay angkop na angkop gamitin sa pagtuturo kaugnay ng pagbubuo ng tuntunin o pagkakaroon ng isang paaglalahat o generalization. Ang pamamaraang ito, kung minsan ay tinatawag na “Limang Pormal na Hakbang sa Pagtuturo” o dili kaya ay “Herbatian Method” sapagkat ipinakilala ito sa larangan ng pagtuturo ni Herbert. Sinasabi rin ito na nagsimula sa nalalaman patungo sa hindi nalalaman. Nagsisimula sa mga halimbawa patungo sa tuntunin kaya’t nasasabing ito ay egrule na pamamaraan. Ang pamamaraang ito ay may limang hakbang 1) paghahanda o preparation, 2) paglalahad o presentation, 3) paghahambing at paghalaw o comparison and abstraction, 4) paglalahat o generalization at 5) paggamit o application.

2.

PAMARAANG PASAKLAW O DEDUCTIVE METHOD

Ang pamaraang pasaklaw ay kabaligtaran ng pamaraang pabuod. Samantalang ang pamaraang pabuod ay nagsisimula sa mga halimbawa patungo sa paglalahat o pagbubuo ng tuntunin, ang pamaraang pasaklaw naman ay nagsisimula sa paglalahat ng tuntunin patungo sa pagbibigay ng mga halimbawa kaya may taguring “rule” o “rule of example”. May limang hakbang ito 1) panimula o introduction, 2) pagbibigay ng tuntunin o katuturan o giving of rules/generalization 3)pagpapaliwanag ng tuntunin o interpretation of the rule, 4) pagbibigay ng halimbawa o giving examples 5) pagsubok o testing.

3.

PAMARAANG PABALAK O PROJECT METHOD

Ang pamaraang ito ay angkop na angkop gamitin sa pagtuturo ng Edukasyong Panggawain. Angkop din naming gamitin sa pagtuturo ng anumang asignatura na may nilalayong magsagawa ng proyekto. Sa pamamaraang ito, nalilinang sa mga mag-aaral hindi lamang sa kakayahan at kasanayang pagpaplano, sa pagsusuri, sa pagpapahayag at sa pagpapasiya kundi gayundin naman ang mga kapangkat at ang kakayahan sa pagtanggap ng puna nang walang pagdaramdam o sama ng loob. Ito ay may apat na hakbang 1) paglalayon o purposing 2) pagbabalak o planning 3) pagsasagawa o executing 4) pagpapasiya o evaluating/judging.

4.

PAMARAANG PAGTUKLAS (Discovery Method)

Ang pamaraang pagtuklas ay isang pamaraaan ng pagtuturo na bukod sa nagdudulot ng kawilihan ay humahamon pa sa kakayahan ng mga mag-aaral. Ang pamamaraang ito ay nagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa mga mag-aaral na siyang makatuklas ng kaalaman, konsepto, kaisipan, simulain at paglalahat. Ang mga magaaral ay aktibong kasangkot sa pagtuklas ng karunungan at hindi basta na lamang taagatanggap ng kung anu-anong mga idinidikta sa kanilang mga kaisipaan at kaalaman.

5.

PAMARAANG PROSESO (Process Approach)

Ang process approach ay ginagamit sa pagtuturo ng mga asignatura sa aghaam at iba pang disiplina. Ito ay isang pagdulog na ang binibigyang- diin ay hindi ang pagkakamit ng mga mag0aaral ng maraming kabatirang ipasasaulo sa kanya kundi manapa’y ang pag angkin ng mga mag-aaral ng mga batayang kasanayang intelektuwal na kailangan niya sa pagkatuto. - See more at: http://syndicaeduc.blogspot.com/2012/09/pamamaraan-istratehiyaat-dulog-sa.html#sthash.zqHECe9B.dpuf
