Part 2 (Essay) Answer the following questions
1. How accurate were the children in predicting how well they would remember the
word list? How well did they remember the list? Were they able to tell you what they
did to remember the list? Were they able to tell you what they did to remember the
words after repeating the list? Were there any differences in age in terms of how
accurate their predictions?
Answer: On my observation, they were really struggling to remember the words that I
gave to them. Somehow, they still managed to tell me almost all the words by repeating
them twice and also, I think because of the accuracy of the words that I chose. In terms
of their age, I conclude that there are really big gaps and differences in how they
comprehend and absorb the words that they read and hear.
2. How well did the children do in retelling the story? Did the children tend to tell the
story in the “correct” order or in the order you told it? Were there ages differences in
how they responded here?
Answer: On my observation, in terms of storytelling. They still managed to listen to my
story, even with confusion in their faces because of the unorder flow of the story.
However, because of the familiarity of the story, they were able to tell me almost the
correct order of the story. Lastly, even though they managed to retell the story
accordingly, I still noticed that there were differences between their ages by hearing
their responses.
3. Consider the older children’s responses to the questions about memory and reading.
Given their responses, how well do schools seem to support children developing
metacognitive strategies for memory and reading? Did the children have a sense of
which way they learn best? Do they seem to think that teachers help them with this?
How effective do schools seem to be in creating/supporting an appreciation of reading
in children? Do the children seem to see teachers being helpful in these areas?
Answer: Children’s learners first come from home. But we can’t deny that schools are
giving their best to improve our learnings strategically. As I observed the children,
schools play their role in helping them to develop their metacognitive strategies. The
school is searching for an alternative technique for teaching in order to help the children
continue their studies, especially nowadays situation. Teachers are very important in
this field because none of these things would happen without them. Therefore,
children’s learning is mostly from the effective implementation of the school.
