Reflection:
1. While you are observing the learner did you recall your own experiences when you
where there age?
What similarity or different do you have with the learner you observed?
Yes, I remember when I am in High school and elementary. I am active participator
inside the class and always asking a different question because I’m eagerly to learn.
2. Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reason? How did she/he
help or not with your needs?(Physical, emotional, social, cognitive}
When I am fourth year student in Pampanga High School…My teacher she encourage
me that whenever I speak in the front to deliver my report, to interpret something she
always said to me that.”A good interpretator like a teacher” A scenario of my life that
motivates me to be a teacher not only a teacher but rather an effective teacher wherein
I can teach mind, touch heart and transform life.
3. Which is your favorite theory of development? How can guide you as a future
educator?
According to the “Social Discipline Model of Rudolf Dreikurs” ” In case of misbehavior
we have to minimize the attention, legitimize the behavior (create a lesson out of the
behavior, have the class join in the behaviors) do the unexpected (turn out the lights,
shout out loud), distract the students (ask a question or favor change the activity) and
move the student (ask the student to another sit).To manage or discipline the students
