Thinking Cap of Knowledge

The teacher I interviewed defined his students objectively, and as I have read the answers, his learners are under the Cognitive Learning Theory and Discourse Theory. As we define the theories, the Cognitive Learning Theory is that children do not acquire knowledge by sheer imitation and through a form of conditioning based on reinforcement and reward, and the Discourse Theory is that communication is the key to learning. The students of the teacher I interviewed are using visuals to learners, they learn best through seeing diagrams, illustrations and other instructional materials. Using this kind of thing can really work because his students are in the Grade 2 level. He also stated that he encounter common problems like students who doesn’t know how to read, and some point he is becoming a Behaviorist to let the students know what they are reading. Guided Discovery is one of the most effective method/approach he use in teaching, because his students are intrinsically motivated since they are conscious that they are the ones who discover things for themselves (real joy and happiness for students). Expository, lecture methods were the ineffective ones, knowing the students learning style. They easily got bored when they only listen. They don’t want to be fed up. They want to engage in the teaching learning process, he stated last on his approaches/strategies/methods have you proven effective in your class and what are the ineffective ones. “Providing the learners with activities such as drills in reading and afterwards giving selections to be read and comprehend. These activities are basic to his/her becoming functionally literate person-one who can cope with the demands of the ever changing world” he explained on his philosophy “Teaching as providing the learner with the basic tools of learning.” He is much concerned on how his students learn, provided the materials and the literacy and the adjustment of the teacher, students will learn properly as what they have learned. #

Language Confabulation

  Language is a really powerful thing in the world; it is the thing we use especially in communication. Teaching is one of the profession where dealing with communication and with the use of language it is power to teach and to learn, especially we the Filipino learners. The Filipino learners’ acquisition of a second language is influenced by personal, school, and home-related factors. When properly motivated, properly guided and adequately provided with learning materials in English, the students will confidently develop and enhance their communicative competence, which is one of the requirements to thrive the world and being globally recognized by the use of our L2 which is English, the universal language.

I agree on the statement that our L2 is learned and it should start as early as the child is in his/her early age, when it is learned at first we know that grammatical error and the wrong sentence construction is inevitable that’s why learning makes it perfect and by the successive learning, it will improve, and polishing the L2 is in the mid-learning and the fluency and communication skills will be used as they grow older. There are things that we can’t easily understand at first but reading and reflecting on Cecilia M. Mendiola’s research about the L1 and L2 of learners, it opens our eyes and clarify our queries and questions about our L2.

And as a language learner, as we learn little by little about these things we can definitely learn the essential view of L1 and L2, and how to teach them. Learners’ are learners’ that need to learn, and learning is upgrading to the whole new level.  Since errors are part of all natural learning, teachers may demonstrate a more tolerant stance toward students and view them more positively as a means through which students’ learning strategies may be inferred. Teachers must work toward strengthening the students’ language proficiency to enhance learners’ critical thinking and academic performance since language proficiency correlates with critical thinking and academic achievement.

Epiphany of Math

Math is an epiphany. Sudden admiration and understanding is happening. One of the silent alarm clock to wake you up in that slumber of curiosity to wake up in the reality.

Because math is one of our invisible friend and maybe a companion to anyone, it is a friend to help you in money, time management and a companion to have so that the work will be easy to latch without agitation.

As what Merriam-Webster dictionary said: It is the science of numbers, quantities, and shapes and the relations between them. Yes it is, science of numbers, complicated and deadly as it sounds, deadly to understand and to get. Understanding is one of the key.

Math is, even a vignette of knowledge about it is full-packed. Sometimes math is also a manifestation in our life which simply means it just suddenly appears, unexpected surprise furthermore it adds equation and a problem which if we connect it, it has a solution.

Undertakings in math needs and requires understanding, it is a task given to widen our vocabulary in math, not to boggle or distract, but to find its deepest thoughts in your mind in the ecosystem in your heart and in everything we do in our real life. Well when we are finding for its unfathomable meaning, let’s not consider the literal problem in math (the one we are discussing in school) you should’ve look deep within it and have a lucid imagination in your mind and find happiness and satisfaction.

So how do math be vital and valuable discipline in our life? Well it’s a deep meaning, so unwinding this thought will require time but let’s see the summary of this.

Math is vital, why? Because it is everywhere, yes it is necessary in our life, for some they seldom see this important. Let’s just simply say that math is everywhere, self-explanatory. It is everywhere in our life we can see them everywhere, we feel them, we use them. Mostly on money and time. Math is mandatory, math is there we can’t erase them, important.

Math is a valuable discipline, but why? It has a useful order and control, it explains here that we orderly and we properly use math, they give us the wisdom to solve things step-by-step and to further explain the hardness of this. We are the one who make our own hypothesis about it and we are just walking to the stairs of math and until we wake up in the realization and its beauty when we reach the peak.

And what if we combine vital and valuable in math, it will amplify our senses in numbers, even though some of us will be having a hard time to muddle through with those things. That is why we are learning and it will be more easy to be one of the equations of our life and the literal equation to be solved in just a jiffy.

And math has a many product in this world that we can see right now one of the products of it is engineers we see them build bridges, houses and many more things that makes our community be perpendicular to each other, the angles of happiness and the measurement of everything.

Everything in this world is math. They’re invisible, silent and deaf. We cannot hear them but we can see them in imagination, we cannot see it but we can distinguish where they are. It is silent because it needs meditation and concentration to make them loud.

PROFESSIONAL JOURNALIST vs. AMATEUR JOURNALIST

The world has changed, a lot. Many things has changed for the past years, gadgets have been produced and invented, and the other way of media was also changed. Our new media was formed online right now and only few people use the traditional form, and online is the consistent and easy way to gather and read news.

In the world media we have different kind of journalist, we have the Professional Journalist which knows everything when it comes to journalism they write the truth and what exactly happened. They don’t argue on simple problems. Professional Journalist always have a solution  on every things because they are official and they have the rights to revise and update the journalistic codes.

And another is the Amateur Journalist which has many ‘a.k.a’s’ best examples are bloggers and tweeters. They also publish stories which is some of them are smugly made because they write what they only know, they have few details to make an article unlike the professional journalist which is full packed, and that article of them is just rubbish and undeniably worthless. They are also bias because they will find ways to defend someone on that and kept on insisting that statement is wrong. They often argue online and that only shows disrespect and their debates is highly explicit, that’s an amateur journalist.

Now who’s the best?

Ang Online na Pamamahayag

Ang Online na Pamamahayag

Ang online na pamamahayag ay may ilang mga pagkakatulad sa mga medium ng pag-print, radio at telebisyon. Ito pa rin ay kasangkot sa komunikasyon sa balita at kasalukuyan at ito ay napapanatili pa rin ang halaga ng mga periyodista na mga paraan ng pamamahayag. Pero meron itong natatanging pagkakaiba din.

Ang paggamit ng multimedia ay isang mahalagang element ng online na pamamahayag. Mga kwento ng balita na naisasapubliko sa web ay kinumpleto ng grapiko, mga larawan, mga animasyon, audio stream, at mga kuha ng mga video.

Ang BBC Online ay magandang halimbawa ng online na balita na gumagamit ng multimidya na nakuha sa pagbago ulit ng mga nilalaman mula sa BBC.

Ang interaksiyon ay isa sa pang katangian ng online na pamamahayag. Mayroon namang limitadong antas ng interaksiyon sa iba pang mga balitang ginagamit sa ibang paraan. Halimbawa nito ang mga letra sa editor san aka print na media at nakikinig sa radio at paminsan-minsan sa telebisyon. Ang kapaligiran sa online , gayunpaman, ay maas higit pa na naayon sa interaksiyon at nagbibigay ng maraming mga pagkakataon para sa kinasasangkutan at pakikipag ugnayan sa mga web-user.

Ang kamadalian ay isang kritikal na element ng online journalism. Mga nagbabagang balita ay magagamit sa mga madla mula sa sandaling ito ay naisapubliko papunta sa website ng mga balita. Ito ay maaaring gawin nang mabilis at sa anumang oras na nagbibigay-daan online na impormasyon upang maging lubos na laging nakatutok.

Ang pagkonsumo ng impormasyon sa online na pamamahayag ay hindi pantay. Maaaring piliin ng mga web-users na kwento nais nilang basahin at maaaring hindi pansinin ang natitira. Ito ay naiiba sa telebisyon at pakikinig sa radio kung saan ang lahat ng mga kuwento ay iniharap at na ayos sa mga pagpipilian ng silid basahan.

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE

Internet is upgrading now ‘blogging’ is usually done. ‘Freedom of Expression’ is legal posting ‘libelous things is done which is usually ‘stereotyped’ which our ‘netiquettes’ believe to. ‘Validity’ in posting some recent news is ‘bias’. That’s why people usually do ‘citizen journalism’ asking for truth. And to avoid this kind of things we need ‘national security’ for security and safety an the ‘Code of Ethics’ should be followed.
