FIELD STUDY 2 LEARNING EPISODE Utilizing Application (Apps)

for Teaching and Learning
FS2 13

Participate and Assist

Before you participate and assist in tasks related to apps, first enumerate the apps you already know and
have probably tried. Explore the Pedagogy Wheel and learn at least five more. Fill out the table below.

Apps that I already know/have recently explored How can I utilize this in teaching-learning?

Google Classroom has the potential to mimic the

feeling of being in a traditional
classroom. Teachers might use the stream
to make announcements and create
classwork assignments. Teachers might give
students their grades straight quickly and return
it to them.

Both instructors and students will benefit

from WPS Office. They no longer need to carry
their bulky computers about with them; instead,
they can use the software to write papers on
their phones.

Students and instructors may use YouTube to

watch, relate to, and explore instructive and
inspirational videos and blogs.

Zoom might be used by teachers and students to

virtual discuss a lesson. They could
communicate and share their screens using
the app, allowing other students and
instructors in the room to see the prepared
presentation for any type of conversation or
gathering.

Teachers and students may use Word Press

to offer personal and educational experiences
that others might read. They might also view
and relate to the work of others.
Your guide to participate and assist:

1. Interview your FS resource teacher on her experience in using the apps for teaching
and learning.

2. Ask the teacher how you can participate or assist in work involving the use of applications in
one or more of these task:

 Preparing materials,
 Doing a motivational activity,
 Delivering a lesson,
 Engaging the learners to respond
 Giving an assignment,
 Making learners practice a skill,
 Making the learners collaborate and
 Managing the class-checking of attendance.

The more opportunities to observe participate and assist the better.

type of stage performance
and engage in class on their
own.
 How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using
As far as I recall it is preferable to use an app that the kids are already familiar with when selecting
applications. There will be no time wasted in order to ensure that the lecture flows well. And I chose the
applications based on how useful they are to kids and how popular they are.

Notice
After you participated or assisted in the use of apps in teaching-learning, describe what
you observed and experienced by answering the items below.

1. Describe how you or the teacher utilized this app. Narrate your experiences as you participated and
assisted.

It is simply that they are already familiar with several applications particularly in YouTube, which is
why they are so intent on listening to and watching this type of stage performance. With the help of the
WPS applications, the elements and type of stage play for the lesson were revealed. Apart from
witnessing the type of stage play, students get their own copy of the lesson. Following a viewing of the
type of stage play on YouTube which is the essential events will be highlighted.

Analyzed
What worked well during the activity using the apps?

I must mention that everything went smoothly throughout the exercise while using the tools I used,
particularly when using YouTube to pique the students' attention. We all know that kids are
very
enthusiastic about viewing videos.

What part can be improved?

The usage of YouTube is something that requires summarizing major events or the kind of videos
that have been played. They must make a stop motion animati on based on the game they are playing.
However, it has been a long time since the remainder of the activities were turned into homework.

What would you have done differently? What would I change? What will make it better next time?

Instead of utilizing any applications, I should have had the kids capture two to three minutes of video
and then highlight the relevant parts of the video. I should permit a type of motion that is tend to the kids
to have brought home activity from the video present sort of stage performance.
 How does this connect with what you know about selecting and using
When choosing apps, it is preferable to choose apps that the student is already familiar with. It is for
the sake of maintaining the lesson's flow, and no time will be wasted. I chose applications that are both
useful and popular among students while selecting them.

Reflect

1. How ready am I in organizing and using apps in the teaching-learning process?

I believe I am capable of organizing and implementing an app in the teaching and learning process.
I can claim that I have a good understanding of the popular applications that are important in teaching
and learning, but I am still working on mastering them.

2. What do I still need to learn in order to use apps in teaching effectively?

I may state that I need to know when I'm going to use specific programs. Because not all
applications are appropriate for various sorts of topics in class, I need to know which one is appropriate
for which topic.

3. What can I do to learn more about and practice the use of educational apps?

I believe that I should read and practice utilizing educational applications by downloading and using
them on a regular basis.

Write Action Research Prompts

This part allows you to synthesize or put together what you noticed, analyzed and reflected on to
come up with a possible topic for an action research.

OBSERVE

1. What problematic situation/challenges/area of improvement prevailed in using apps?

The popularity of an application does not mean that students are already familiar with it. The issue
that has arisen with the use of apps is the pupils' lack of preparation and understanding.
List at least three sources that you have read about this problem/challenge area of improvement

On what theories/principles can this problem be anchored

The concept that a child's environment influences his or her learning and behavior is known as
environmentalists learning theory. It was connected to this notion because if the environment
was organized and all learning tools were available to pupils, they would be able to reach their maximum
potential and talents. Student learning acquisition is aided by a conducive setting with learning
resources.
REFLECT

2. What do I hope to achieve to address the problem? (What change do you want to achieve?)

I believe that in order to address the issue, the government must provide support in the growth of
schools and the provision of adequate learning tools. For the time being, I'd want to make imaginative
use of the available resources.

Attach pieces of evidence of what you accomplished in this episode.

Every topic in the school curriculum requires the use of instructional resources. This is,
without a doubt, critical in the educational process. They provide students opportunities
to connect with words, symbols, and ideas in ways that help them improve their reading,
listening, seeing, thinking, speaking, and writing skills via the use of media and
technology. Learning becomes more fascinating, practical, realistic, and attractive when
instructional materials are used. They also make it possible for both professors and
students to participate actively and successfully in class. They allow for the growth of self-
confidence and self-actualization as well
as the acquisition of skills and information.

Learning resources are crucial because they may help students reach higher levels
of success by facilitating their learning. This method enhances the learning process by enabling
the learner to individually explore the content while also giving repetition. As a result, in order
to execute the lesson and achieve equal learning, the teacher should select appropriate resources
or materials in instructing.
