Narrative

April 28, 2019

We had been given the list of the names of the students who are our supposed tutees for this ABM-
SHS Tutorial Activity (ASTA). We created a group in messenger to be able to communicate with them
freely.

April 29, 2019

The first encounter with one of our tutees was on this date. He messaged us with regards to one
of his concerns and we met up with him in the library at 3 in the afternoon. They were given an assigned
task to make a presentation on the whole accounting cycle of a merchandising business. He had a problem
with the income summary of their output and we managed to helped him with his problem.

May 2, 2019

We met up with our tutees in the library after their 3:15 pm class. We discussed about
merchandising business and we elaborated the Freight terms, such as FOB Destination, FOB Shipping
point, Freight Prepaid, and Freight Collect. We showed the difference of those terms and how they are
journalized, to emphasis their rationale. We also discussed Cash Discounts and Trade Discounts.

May 7, 2019

We met up with our tutees in their classroom after their 3:15 pm class. Other teams in our class
also taught their tutees their and divided the class according to who their tutors are. That day, we discussed
bank reconciliation to our tutees, since that was what they wanted for us to teach them. We discussed the
book and bank reconciling items and their effect to the entity’s cash balance. Afterwards, we gave them
photocopies of assessments we had prepared to serve as their homework.

May 9, 2019

We met up with our tutees in their classroom again, although this time, we taught our tutees as a
class. Our team and other teams switched turns in teaching the class, Grade 12-St. Agatha. We discussed
the pro-forma of a Cost of Goods Sold statement and Income Statement. We further discussed the Freight
Terms and how to record for the Sales Return and Allowances and Sales Discounts and Purchase Returns
and Allowances and Purchase Discounts. At night, we sent some reviewers, which comprises of the
difference of the two inventory systems (Perpetual and Periodic), for their departmental quiz the next day.

What is ASTA all about?

ASTA or ABM-SHS Tutorial Activity was introduced to reinforce classroom pedagogies in the SHS-
ABM strand on basic accounting course. This activity is a tutorial on various topics under the course
“Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business and Management”. Senior high school students will be engaged
in different learning activities like lecture, exercises and post-assessments through the initiative of BSAC 1
and BSMA 1 students.

What did we learn?

Learning is very essential trough collaboration and brainstorming. Sharing of ideas to fill such
ignorance and to share what is necessary to enhance your learning capabilities and others as well. Through
continuous engaging of ideas with one another, you are able to grasp knowledge which you do not know
and give others knowledge which they are not aware of. And according to other people, you can be able to
master something or you are a master of that itself if you are able to teach other people about it.

In ASTA, we are able to share our knowledge in accounting subjects to our senior high school
tutees and it was a very great experience. Enhancing our knowledge through the essence of providing them
the methods and concepts that they really need to be able to solve and analyze well such accounting
problems and transactions. We love to teach and to be able to teach is a very good opportunity to hone
more our knowledge regarding basic accounting, but sometimes it was very challenging because of the
pressure that everything we say should be concrete and correct, because we do not want for the younger
batch to be confused with what we are teaching and what is being taught to them by their teacher.
Answering their questions is a must so we need to be able to answer them well and enough and to do that,
we need to re-read what we have learned in the past and study lessons to be discussed. Apart from the
topics, we should also provide them facts and materials for them to answer. It was really an enjoyable
experience and we would love to teach again. It was overwhelming to see their reactions every time they
understand what we have discussed.

What went wrong?

There were instances that we have not been able to meet with all of our tutees because every time
we meet with them, some were not present and some had requirements to do.
