My Reflections
When I was at my preschool days, I remembered that I am very childish as
what they are today. I love playing but I am a very shy type child. I remembered that I
used to cry when my mother left me at my classroom because I don’t want her to be
out of my sight. When I was in my elementary, I’m just an ordinary student wherein
going to school is just a part of my daily routine in life. I don’t even felt how education is
important in that time. I played with my friends yet I’m not that competitive like how
children are now today.
As I entered my high school days, I’m still confused if I’ am still a child or
already a maiden. I refined my way of walking, dressing and talking yet like them, there
comes a time that nature of being child becomes dominant. Like other students, I also
felt the existence of competition between my peers during this time especially in
academic matters. Academic achievement is really important to me that time
because that the only thing that I can do to make my parents happy and proud to me.
Additionally, what maybe my dissimilarity among others is that even I am in my high
school days, I already thinking on how I will get scholarships to at least continue my
schooling and achieve my dream which is really to be an educator. They are not that in
favor with my preferred course, so on how they will interpret my final grade will only be
the way for me to convince them.

On the other hand, I admit that I learned a lot from my former teachers in
elementary and high school. Some trained me how to write, read and count. Some
taught me positively yet some are negatively. But what is still remaining on my mind is
that on how my former grade three teacher taught me in a very extraordinary way.
Mrs. Virginia Guinto, former adviser of grade three-A choose to join me, together with
my classmates, Jessa Anne Rabago and Bernadette Baran, at MTAP Quiz Bee held at
Jose P. Laurel Memorial School (JRMS Central I) at Calamba City. As the result was
given, we are so shocked when she was so angry to us. She always scolded us in front
of the class and her colleagues and we found out that, according to her, we got zero
score from the said competition. “Ang bobobo ninyo naman” is one of the cruel words
that I personally heard from her. I preferred not to tell that to my parent and I cried
every night because I’m sure that I don’t deserve those words and I know that I have
my correct answers with the given set of questions. I’m very afraid to go to school that
time until my mother knew it with some parents. Maybe, that’s the primary reason why I
don’t trust myself in joining any curricular activities at school. However, nowadays, I
realized that that experience should serve as my stepping stone to prove to them that I
was once been rejected but now taking courage to at least be part of the profession
who will mold young minds. It serves as my lesson to understand how is that feel and not
let my students to sense what I had experienced. Despite, my gratitude and respect is
still being given to her until this point of time.
Not all the time, negative experience will lead to positive learning. There
are students that once been embarrassed, will not pursue on achieving his goals in life.
So teachers should be careful on how he will let the students to learn and how they will
develop students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to be a productive people of
the dynamic society. It should always take into consideration that what you’ve said or
done to the students, will greatly impact them and will retain in their minds. How the
teachers influence students will be the determinant on how he became an effective or
worst implementer of learning.

Which is your favorite theory of development? How can this guide you as a
future teacher?
Clip some readings about this theory and paste them here.
“Psychologist Albert Bandura proposed what is known as social learning
theory. According to this theory of child development, children learn new
behaviors from observing other people. Unlike behavioral theories, Bandura
believed that external reinforcement was not the only way that people learned
new things. Instead, intrinsic reinforcements such as a sense of pride, satisfaction
and accomplishment could also lead to learning. By observing the actions of
others, including parents and peers, children develop new skills and acquire new
information.”

Social learning theory is classified as behavioral theory in which the
behavior of the stimuli can be affected and modified according to its
observation in the environment. Everything that the child seen and observe
could actually lead them to learning. This theory will be beneficial and essential
guide in my future teaching in dealing with individual differences and how to
direct learning to them. Varied behaviors could be observe and contract with
but learning could still be effective through using and applying intrinsic and
extrinsic motivation in the class. Even without formal lesson, the students can
learn by their own reflection in the environment. A print- rich environment will also
play its important role in letting the students to be educated in their own.
