Lesson 11:Making the Most








Field trips without obvious academic content can be hard to sell to administrators focused on test scores. To obtain approval, most teachers try to justify field trips by citing standards and curriculum goals. Nevertheless, the trips often get tacked onto the back end of the school year, the assumption being that they are unlikely to directly support the reading and math skills that show up on yearly standardized achievement tests.
   Field trips can be fun and educational when they are well executed .
  >The acquisition of lasting concepts and changes in attitudes are rooted on concrete and rich experience. Field trips are opportunities for rich and memorable experience which are fundamental to learning the last.
  >The real world connection is more work but the benefits of broadening teaching beyond textbooks far        outweigh the little bit of time it takes from a teacher's schedule.

The acquisition of lasting concepts and change in attitudes are rooted on concrete and rich experiences. Field trips are opportunities for reach and memorable experiences which are fundamental to learning that lasts.
Field trips bring us to the world beyond the classroom. The real-world connection is more work but the benefits of broadening teaching beyond textbooks far outweigh the little bit of time it takes from a teacher’s schedule.
Field trips have a wide range of application. It is not meant only for children, it is for adults also. It is not only meant for the social science subjects, it is for all other subjects as well.
out a lot of realizations which may lead to changes in attitudes and insights. The field trip “can nurture curiosity; build a zest for new experience, and a sense of wonder.”

Lesson 10: Demonstrations in Teaching

 

 

 

Lesson 10 Demonstration in Teaching

Is a complex, integrated process involving people, procedures, ideas, devices, and organization for analyzing problems and devising, implementing, evaluating, and managing solution to those problems, involved in all aspects of human learning. Is a very board item. It is the application of scientific findings in our method, process or procedure of working in the field trip of education in order to effect learning. It embraces curriculum and instructional design, learning environment, theories of teaching-learning. It is also a filed study and a profession. It is the use of all human inventions for teachers to realize their mission to teach in order that students learn.

Lesson 9:Teaching with Dramatized Experienced

 
 
 
   
Dramatic is something that is stirring or affecting or moving. It holds the audience attention and we can feel emotion. So, if our teaching is dramatized the learners can relate, get attracted and interested. They can easily understand. Dramatized experience can range from the formal plays, pageants to less formal tableau, pantomime, puppets, and role playing.
 
 
Formal  Dramatized Experience

    A. Plays - Depict life, character, or culture or a combination of all three.
    B. Pageants  - usually community dramas that are based on local history, presented by local actors.
    C. Puppets – unlike regular stage play, it can present ideas with extreme simplicity, without elaborate scenery or costume yet effective.

Less Formal Dramatized Experiences

A. Pantomime – is the art of conveying a story through bodily movements only.
 B. Tableau – (French word means PICTURE) is a picture-like scene composed of people against a background.
 C. Puppets – unlike the regular stage play, can present ideas with extremely simplicity, without elaborate scenery or costume, yet effective
 This lesson reminds me with my experience during my high school. Our teacher give us a task to make a story and we will present it by dramatizing. And I remember that my role in that drama is a mother and became crazy because of many problems. After we show I was awarded as a beast actress because of my role that fit me. Another example is during my Humanities,before we start discussing our lesson, our teacher Ma'am Trabajo let us to show our individual talent. My talent is acting, hosting I assumed that my mother died and I was really crying with a tears.

   So, through that dramatized experience I can relate, I can understand and it is interested to look and listen. Dramatized experience cater to students multiple intelligence.

Lesson 8: Teaching with Contrived Experiences






These are edited copies of reality and are used a substitutes for real things when it is not practical or not possible to bring or do the real think in the classroom. These contrived experiences are designe d to simulate to real-life situations. The atoms, planetarium, globe, the simulated election process and preserve specimen are examples of contrived experiences
 
Types of Contrived experiences Models, and Mock –up – atom, planetarium are reproductions of real thing in a small or large scale which may not be operatioble renal. Specimen & Objects – is any individual or item considered typical or a group. Object may include artifacts displayed in a museum or objects displayed in exhibit. Simulation – is a “representation” of a manageaal event in which the learner is an active participant engaged in learning a behaviour or in applying previously acquired skills or knowledge.

What are the implications of direct, purposeful experience to learning? Provide students with opportunities to learn by doing Make use of real instructional materials as much as we can Help in the development of five senses to the full to heighten their sensitivity to the world Draw meaning from their first hand experience Budget of purchasing materials sets the tea cher free from worrying.
