FIELD STUDY is a component of new Pre-Service Teacher

education curriculum that targets to expose the students to authentic

field experiences so that they can relate the theories learned inside the
classroom with those practices.

Nowadays, technology has been a necessity in education. It contributes so much to our educational
system. Consequently, there is a need for teachers to be updated and be familiar with computer knowledge
and skills.

Exploring the Curriculum

Field Study 4 is designed to students to apply and verify knowledge gained on curriculum development
through exposure to the existing curriculum. It shall also provide insights to students on how the curriculum can be
effectively implemented. Thus, teachers should look deeper into the concepts, nature and purposes of the curriculum.

Curriculum is the recapitulation of all the activities, experiences and learning opportunities for which
an institution or a teacher takes responsibly- either deliberately or default. This includes in such a broad concept
of curriculum, formal and informal, overt and covert, recognized and the overlooked, intentional and
unintentional.

FIELD STUDY 5
Learning Assessment Strategies

Field Study 5 is designed to provide students with opportunities to attain experiential

understanding of the process of assessing learning and the various strategies or assessing. It is
intended to help the student teachers like me to observe how the principles and strategies of
assessment are applied in the classroom.

As a teacher, we are continually confronted with the challenge of assessing the progress of
our students as well as our own effectiveness as teacher.

Assessment decision could substantially improve students’ performance; guide the teacher
in enhancing the teaching-learning and assess policy makers in improving the educational system.
Poor assessment producers could adversely affect the students, teachers and administrators.

FIELD STUDY 6
On Becoming a Teacher

It is designed to complement the professional education subject, The Teaching Profession. It

shall bring about real life and vicarious experiences of a prospective teacher with emphasis on the
characteristics of a teacher as a person and as professional. It shall provide a wide array of
opportunities for self-reflection that would prepare one to become a student teacher.

This Field study course was the most interesting and remarkable part. It exemplifies the good traits and
attributes of a teacher. It gave us an overview of the expectations regarding the roles and responsibilities of the
teacher’s not just inside and outside the classroom but also in the community and around the globe.

And so, as teachers, we should be knowledgeable enough and must have mastery of the subjects that
we are teaching, be competitive and ready for different struggles and difficulties concerning teaching. We
must always bear in mind that the future of the learners relies on the things that they could learn from us…

As future teacher, I strongly believe that we just do not affect our students’ lives…
We affect the world… we affect…eternity…
