Field Study 5 and 6We are now to the last observation, which is the FS 5 (Assessment for Learning) and (Fs 6 (On

Becoming a Teacher).

At first, we assigned to the Basic Education Department which is also part of the University of

Iloilo. But the said school where not going to accompany us, because we are about 60 education

students and it is hard for them to accept us. Our adviser, Maam Lilian Jurao did not lose hope, instead

she try her best to find another school for us to observe. The schools which were going to observe is the

Bonifacio Elementary School. We are very happy and excited to hear that news, because all our life, we

are only observing at the Basic Education Department, and now, this semester we are observing outside

the campus. Our adviser assigned us to different grade level, and Im assigned to Observe the grade V

students, together with me are Charnie, Rechie and Christine. The four of us are so lucky because our

resource teacher who is Mrs. Joerene D. Sur is so kind, understanding and very patient person.

On the first day of our meeting, we are really nervous because we cant predict if our resource

teacher is strict or not approachable. At first, when we entered the classroom, we introduced ourselves

one by one and told our resource teacher what our purpose why we are there is. Then, Mrs. Sur is

slightly nervous, because when we told her that we are going to observe her class, she said to us that

she is not prepared with her lesson, instead she is busy reviewing her students to the incoming NAT. But

we told her that she doesnt have to worry, because we are observing her class and not her, and she

only laugh to us. We explained further about our booklets and told her on our next observation, we are

going to interview her, and she agreed with that.

On our second observation, we set a time for our interview with Mrs. Sur. Luckily, Mrs. Sur is not

going to conduct her lesson, because our observation time and day is 1:00-2:00 pm, Thursday and

Tuesday; and that time, her students are not there. They have a tutorial class, and for that we can freely

interview her. We interview Mrs. Sur regarding on our booklet and she answered it very well and with

her best. We told her that were going to observe again to her class, and of course she agrees with that.

On our third, fourth and last observations are really inspiring. When we observe her class, we

can predict who are the fast and the slow learner. I can compare that the students are really trying their

best to catch up the lesson. They are really active inside the classroom. Mrs. Sur really teaches her

students very well. She disciplined her students. She has also a classroom management. Like, she can

handle her class very well; the chairs are arranged on proper places. I observe also that her classroom is

conducive to learning. Ive seen different bulletin board that display on the wall. The projects or the

output of the students are display on the shelves. Also, the students are very friendly and kind. When

they seen us entering their room, they politely greet us. For example Good afternoon visitors and it

feels like we are special to them. Ive seen many students are really curious with us. They have questions

on their eyes. But our resource teacher told them what is our purpose why we are there and the

children reaction is just smile to us. I thought that being a future teacher is difficult, but when you are

really there, you already teaching, as what Mrs. Sur told us that if you have your heart to your children

and you love your profession, it is easy to teach the children. It is easy to accept the challenges and trials

that will come to our life. Ive learned many things in this subject. How to become a teacher, how to

value your profession, how to handle your students and everything.

This is our last field study subjects and I will missed this, the children but or course this is not mylast challenged, although this kind of profession is tiring, but we really enjoyed it. It needs patience and

perseverance. I love to become a teacher. I will face different trials. When Im going to practice our

profession called Practice Teaching and I will enter the real world. I will have my courage and faith in

God to face problems, challenges that will come to our life. I choose this kind of profession for me to

change the life of every individual. I am ready to face the battle.

Lastly, Im going to thank our adviser, Maam Lilian Juraowho are there to support us and didnt

live us. Thanks Maam and to our God!!!

Have a happy vacation!!!.....
