Teaching Methods Observed

During my teaching internship, I was guided by teachers at Laureta School and practiced various teaching methods such as:

Guidance through the internet: Utilizing videos, images, or digital resources to enrich the lesson, making it easier for students to grasp knowledge through visual and interactive media.

Group method: After discussing and evaluating the issue, each group selects a representative to present the group's opinions.

Direct Instruction Method: Teachers often guide and present the material directly to students, helping them to easily visualize the lesson content.

Practical Application Method: After a theoretical session, students attend a practical session. This alternation between theory and practice helps students deepen their understanding of the learned concepts.

Exploratory Method: This method stimulates students' curiosity and eagerness to learn, enhancing their self-learning ability and critical thinking skills.

Learning Materials and Innovation

·  Textbooks and instructional materials: Core resources that provide foundational knowledge, updated with new content to align with the ICT curriculum requirements.

·  Practical materials and equipment: Students have the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities using computers, programming software, and other technological tools, which helps strengthen their skills and knowledge.

·  Digital resources: The use of simulation software, online learning applications, and interactive activities enhances student engagement and enthusiasm in ICT learning.

Sources of Learning and Technology

Learning Resources:

• Library: The school maintains a library equipped with a diverse collection of books, periodicals, and digital resources to aid student research and learning.
• Learning Modules: Teachers develop and utilize detailed lesson plans and modules across various subjects, including English and Filipino, to provide structured and comprehensive instruction.

Technological Facilities:

• Computer Laboratories: The school is equipped with computer labs that facilitate hands-on learning experiences in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and other computer-related subjects.
• Internet Access: Classrooms are equipped with internet connectivity, enabling both students and teachers to access online educational resources and integrate digital tools into the learning process. 

Authentic Assessment

·  Project-Based Learning: Students worked on technology-based projects, such as creating websites, apps, or digital presentations, to demonstrate their understanding of ICT concepts. This approach allowed them to apply technical skills in a creative and practical way.

·  Digital Portfolios: Throughout the semester, students compiled their work in digital portfolios, including coding assignments, graphic designs, and multimedia projects. This collection not only showcased their best work but also allowed them to track their progress and reflect on their learning journey in ICT.

·  Peer Assessment: Students participated in peer reviews, providing constructive feedback on each other’s projects and assignments. This process helped them develop a critical eye and take responsibility for assessing quality, accuracy, and creativity in ICT.

·  Performance Tasks: Real-world tasks were assigned, such as troubleshooting technical issues or creating solutions for simulated business problems. These tasks required students to apply their ICT knowledge in practical scenarios, reinforcing their problem-solving skills in authentic contexts.
