Course: BSED - English
Professor: Mr. Michael Chan

I. My Map
I will observe three different lessons executed – cognitive, skill, and affective lessons.
(Cognitive-Araling Panlipunan: Skill-Math: Affective-Literature/Edukasyong
Pagpapahalaga) To reach my target,
As I observe a class, I will use the Observation Sheet for a more focused observation.
OBSERVATION SHEET
3. Did the lesson end with the fact? Or did these facts lead to an understanding
The class is ended on this topic. That art before signifies a lot of meaning that can
also affect the heart of its viewers. The students seem to understand the meaning and
importance of arts because it resonates with the past that tells the efforts of Filipino
heroes to tell their cry and tell the enemy to free their country.

4. Write down instances of treating the topic in-depth (giving examples,
examining cause-effect relationships, relating ideas or concepts to one another.
Mrs. Perez prepares an activity that will need to answer by the students and collab
Ideas to synthesize the best slogan that they can make that tells the importance of arts
in our society. By the use of the learning that they have while listening to Mrs. Perez,
some students are able to focus and create a slogan that speaks to the viewers.
Students in that group extend their knowledge to the topic and apply it to their activity.
They use that same art style of the Spoliarium but integrate the style of caricature that
makes their image funkier yet powerful.
When Mrs. Perez opens the discussion to the students and let them analyze and
expand the topic by using the art of questioning, one of the students stand up and
throw a question that can trigger a debate inside the class. She asks if art is so
powerful and it can change the heart of a nation, Is it possible today to make art with a
significant meaning that deals with the problem of corruption and over the use of
excessive power in the government of the Philippines. Some students say that the form
of freedom of speech today is not the same that the Filipino might have before. Some
just imitating the sounds of a protest that normally happening in the Philippines.
1. What was the skill lesson about? Which skills was/were target? Manipulative
skill or thinking skill?
During the discussion, the most abundant skill that I notice is the thinking skill,
thinking skills that usually appear in the class when a lot of students are engaging and

participate in an open discussion. Different views and thoughts are made by different
students that make the whole to be active and assess every answer that their
classmates give.
Mrs. Perez let the class be the one who critic every artwork that she shows that
make by a Filipino artist and they give an explanation of what is the meaning behind
that artwork. Many statements and suggestions of what should be the meaning of the
specific artwork. During this time, the students are the one who actively engages in the
discussion and she just asks some questions of why do they think that it is indeed the
meaning of it.
3. Which are proofs that the Resource Teacher promoted convergent thinking?
On the next day, Mrs. Perez gives a recall of what is the topic they have yesterday.
She asks for what is the terminologies that been during their discussion on that day.
This shows the ability of the student to memories and able to recall the words and
some give the meaning of the specific words.
4. If there was problem-solving in the lesson, were the pupils taught to solve the
problem using algorithm or heuristic strategy?
The resource Mrs. Perez teaches the students to find the answers by the use of
questioning. When the students are explaining the meaning of art in society. Mrs.
Perez expands the capability of the student by just asking them a bunch of questions
that are related to the text that they talking to.

5. What are proofs that the students were encouraged to do critical thinking?
By just letting them be the one who interprets an artwork is clear evidence of
valuing the critical thinking skills that a student have. Mrs. Perez encourages her
students to participate in their lesson and help them better understand the subject by
letting be the one who explores it.
C. Value/ Affective Lesson
The lesson deals with the importance of art in a society, the value lesson that the
student have after this subject is to appreciate and admire the meaning behind the
creation of a specific art.
2. Was the value taught alone or was it integrated with a cognitive or skill
lesson?
When Mrs. Perez let the students be the center of the discussion. The values
behind the topic is mostly reveal to the students by stretching the lesson and
answering questions.
By the series of arguments and the expanding and creating a much deeper
questions the class see the value of the lesson.

III. My Analysis
How did my Resource Teacher teach the cognitive content meaningfully and
interestingly?
The resource teacher takes the students in a cognitive way to explore the topic
and by giving a lot of facts and information that the student may use to understand the
importance of their topic. She also accomplishes this task by giving examples and
pictures that are related to the topic.
The lesson is taught by using a series of questioning, this strategy of Mrs. Perez
really work out because the students are being encouraged to analyze and expect every
information they gathered to the answers of their classmates. In this way, the skills of
students to interpret a specific artwork is learned.
1. Is it possible to teach a value lesson without any cognitive basis at all? Explain
your answer.
I think value lessons are gathered by the use of a cognitive basis. In order to
really grasp the understanding of a specific topic, you need to ask a lot of things that are
related to the text that you're talking about. You need to think and analyze situations
that will encourage you to see the importance of the topic to your life.

2. A cognitive or a skill lesson is a vehicle for value education. Do you agree?
Cognitive is the central meaning of how we learned things, this is the skill that we
used in reading, memorizing, reasoning in order to gather correct and meaningful data
that can support our learning. So yes, the application of cognitive skill is important inside
the class, especially that the routines or system we use nowadays is letting the student
be the one to explore and analyze the topic we gave to them. By this the relevancy of
the topic can apply is areal life scenario that can understand by the students.
IV. My Reflections
1. Someone once said: “There are dull teachers, dull textbooks, dull films but no
dull subjects”. Do you agree? Write down your reflections here!
2. How should you recognize subject matter (be it cognitive skill or value lesson) so
that your teaching will always be fresh and interesting?

order to apply learning to the student to that matter. Every subject is unique and
every students are also a unique way to learn. I must see my class as unified learners
that need different types of materials and strategy of teaching in order to learn. I
must be versatile and creative for this thing to happen.
