LEARNING ACTIVITY 5: Paper Works (Hand-Outs Use)

NAME OF FS STUDENT: CRISTINE E. JAGONAL
COURSE: BSEd-MATH
YEAR & SECTION: 3V
COOPERATING SCHOOL: CAMAMAN-AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

GRADE LEVEL OBSERVED: GRADE 5

YOUR GOAL
  At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in making instructional materials (hand-outs) appropriate to the learning content.

YOUR TOOLS
  As you prepare your report about the teacher's hand-outs fill out the activity form below.

A HAND-OUT

Subject Matter: Mathematics                                                          Grade/Year Level:

Content:

Learning Activities: The learning activities will be: we draw draw math objects learning different types of polygons analyzing numbers of probem computing numbers

 

Assessment Plan:

TOOLS

   In the presentation, describe how the tool was used in a particular lesson/time.

     The tool was used by distributing the hand-outs to the students after the teacher taught the lessons about the math.

YOUR ANALYSIS

   Which feature of the hand-out is not effective?

• Its comprehension
• Informations

 The topic of handouts has arisen because of the huge photocopying bills incurred by some departments and the need to find some alternative resources to the ubiquitous handout. Some students have come to rely on handouts, instead of making their own notes, reading or listening or even thinking. We do not want to encourage too much passivity in students by the overuse of this resource: we want them to take away their own notes. This seems an opportune moment therefore to rethink its usage.

 Which is measured by assessment plan? Is it product or process? Explain.

        The assessment plan is measured by product. Because in the assessment plan, it shows verification of

the students' performances.A handout is a paper-based resource used to support teaching and learning which can free students from excessive note-taking or supplement information not easily available elsewhere. Ideally it should aid learning and may increase attention and motivation and help students to follow the development of an idea or argument. The first task therefore is to clarify the aim in using any handout. The desired outcome will affect the information, its quantity, presentation and, crucially, when you distribute it.

Handouts come in several guises and I am going to focus on those most commonly used. I will discuss how to produce and use these effectively and list their advantages and disadvantages.

YOUR REFLECTION

   Recall any difficulties encountered in making hand-outs? How did you overcome them?

      The difficulties that I have encountered in making hand-outs were deciding what questions that would really fit in the hand-outs with the consideration of the topic and organizing it. I overcome these difficulties by analyzing carefully the topic so that I could come up a question that is really valid and reliable to my topic.Student refer reading it rather than listening anyway.Distributing handouts to a large class is not a trivial enterprise, and can cause considerable disruption. In such cases you can either have piles for people to collect on their way in or out, or perhaps distribute smaller sets to students throughout the lecture theatre to pass around on cue.

Relevant graphics are useful, particularly if they are used in the actual presentation and students may have difficulty in copying them down: but be careful about clip-art merely to "brighten up" the presentation.So using handouts or not, and their form, is an act of class management, not simply of information-giving.

Effectively, this is using handouts as the equivalent of "activities" or "self-assessment questions" in resource-based learning.  Experiment, and ask for reactions from students. Be specific in your questions, and they will not only realise that you want genuine answers, but also that you take seriously the development of your teaching.
