GED 412

• refers to the policies and

procedures designed to equip

prospective teachers with the

knowledge, attitudes, behaviors and

skills they require to perform their

tasks effectively in the classroom,

school and wider community.

Week 1

Organization

Curriculum

Supervised Field Experience

• be spread over time

• be collaborative

• use active learning

• be delivered to groups of teachers

• include periods of practice, coaching, and

follow-up

• promote reflective practice

• encourage experimentation, and

• respond to teachers' needs.

Week 2

• Our thoughts, values, and actions

are somehow shaped by events

and by people with whom we come

in contact. We, in turn, help shape

society –its events, its people, and

its destiny.

• Existential question of a teacher

Why do I teach?, What should I teach?, How

should I teach?, etc.

Philosophies of Education

Profession

• A lifetime journey of exploration,

practice and discovery.

• An aspect of a larger system, since

there is a dynamic and complicated

interplay between the social aspects of

learning and the specific classroom

experiences offered.

Week 3

• Commonly used teaching methods may

include class participation,

demonstration, recitation, memorization,

or combinations of these. The choice of

teaching method or methods to be used

depends largely on the information or

skill that is being taught, and it may also

be influenced by the aptitude and

enthusiasm of the students.

Week 4

• Explaining, or lecturing, is the process of

teaching by giving spoken explanations

of the subject that is to be learned.

Lecturing is often accompanied by

visual aids to help students visualize an

object or problem.

• Demonstrating is the process of

teaching through examples or

experiments. For example, a science

teacher may teach an idea by

performing an experiment for

students. A demonstration may be

used to prove a fact through a

combination of visual evidence and

associated reasoning.

• Collaboration allows students to actively

participate in the learning process by

talking with each other and listening to

other points of view. Collaboration

establishes a personal connection

between students and the topic of study

and it helps students think in a less

personally biased way.

• In this teaching method, students

assume the role of teacher and teach

their peers. Students who teach others

as a group or as individuals must study

and understand a topic well enough to

teach it to their peers. By having

students participate in the teaching

process, they gain self-confidence and

strengthen their speaking and

communication skills.

• A Global teacher should be equipped

with a wide range knowledge of the

various educational systems outside the

country; master skills and competencies

which can address global demands;

and possess attitudes and values that

are acceptable to multicultural

communities.

• From the different educational system ofother countries, we can say that basiceducation is compulsory in all thesecountries. This is also true about thePhilippines. However, the number ofyears in every level; primary orsecondary, for some countries seem tovary. Kindergarten or pre-school,although not compulsory, has becomepopular in preparing children for theformal school system.

• Diversity of learners has now become

a local and global concern among

teachers. Diversity has been

recognized as an element that needs

attention. It is a fact that interest in

individual differences and multiple

intelligences added to the impetus of

knowing about multi-cultural education.

• With the global perspective, educational

technologies, and innovative teaching are

imperative in todays time. The unlimited

resource of available technology and its

utilization for innovative teaching promise

challenging experience for prospective teachers.

This lesson cannot sufficiently explore all

possibilities to respond to the challenges,

however, it has clearly underscored that

technology can provide support to teaching in

the resolutions of meaningful problems, act as a

scaffolding to learning, and promotes

independent learning and collaboration with

experts.
