INTRODUCTION
Being an educator in a short period of time was a wonderful experience. Every pre-
service teacher will be motivated to move forward to continue the path they are taking.
Seeing the students enjoy and learn from you will always be the best feeling that a teacher
can perceive. Appreciating you in all means is more than enough inspiration to continue

THE COOPERATING SCHOOL
In the year 2010, the population of San Jose National High School increased to
6772. Out of this big number of students who were enrolled, 28.61 of it came from
Barangay Dalig. There is really a need to establish a secondary school in Barangay Dalig.
In the year 2011, Dalig Extension was established as the extension school of San Jose
National High School. It is situated in the national road of Barangay Dalig with an initial
enrolment of 320 students who stayed first in SJNHS for 5 months while Dalig Extension
is preparing for its occupancy and operation on the third quarter of SY 2011- 2012.
2011 with 7 pioneer teachers. For its second year of operation, the population was tripled
education. The implementation was approved in April 2013. The school is hoping for its
independency this year 2015. At present we have 48 teaching personnels and 5 non-
teaching personnels. And the school have 1500 students. During the administration of the
school head, DEPED Building and Technical Vocational buildings were constructed. The
school students under administration of the new school head Dr. Arnel T. Buena. With his
initiative, hard work and determination, Dalig National High School continuous to progress
Dr. Arnel Buena served as school head of Dalig NHS from 2016 to August 2017,

She was a fresh passer of the principals’ test in 2017. Through a greenhorn in the field of
school management and administration, she in definitely a competent and efficient leader
for she is a department coordinator in Mathematics for 16 years. The school is looking
forward to work with a female leader, considering that she is the first female school head
Dalig National High School is always ready for new leadership and management.
In August 2019, another leader was destined to be a part of DNHS Family. Mr. Henry M.
Lico was a former school head of secondary schools in Division of Rizal and San Roque
National High School from DepEd Antipolo. He is a musician, kind-hearted and people
will see in him a father-figure. With power, authority and strength, one can identify his

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND
development of the students should be the main focus of an educator which will result in
a finer acquisition of the necessary skills that they will utilize to achieve their goals.
Education is an inevitable demand to have a better life, world, and dreams, so it must
and, transformational and life-long learning inside the classroom. The values and beliefs
should also be realized in classroom activities for them to have guidance not just only
Teachers must also pay attention to their students equally. We should learn how
includes the process of teaching. How a teacher teaches using his own strategies and
The art of questioning. The first thing I noticed about the two classroom
observations I had. This is very important for utilizing higher-order questioning without the
confusion and difficulties for the students. Every teacher must know that the motivation
for the students to learn will never be sustained by asking a simple question all the time.
A teacher must know how to craft a question that will lead to the direct learning of the
students, and know how to make it easier for them to analyze and understand the
questions give.
This also taught me strategies and techniques in teaching that you must apply to
have an interactive and informative discussion, especially during online classroom set-
up. Students will be more engage if there are visual and auditory instructional materials.
My cooperating teacher, Mr. Andal used a PowerPoint Presentation, online videos and
especially in real-life situations. It allows a student to learn how to socialize, share, and
recognize the opinions of other people. One of the challenges on the online class modality
is to how you conduct an effective and time-bounded online group activities. The first time
I tried this takes a lot of time to accomplish the activity. I made some modifications in the
activity especially on the template, so that it will be easier for the students to answer the
activity.
It is also very important to enjoy the process of the teaching. The students will feel
Having the chance to teach using the online modality is a great chance to enhance
the capability of a teacher to utilize the devices into the maximum extent. During my class,
I had experienced a technical difficulty on the early part of my discussion. The audio was
delayed resulting to the confusion in my students, but with the help of my Cooperating
solve the problem immediately. I learned that having multiple plans on how you conduct
and deliver the lesson ahead of time before teaching is very essential. An educator should
The connection between a teacher and the students is also very important. An
effective teacher should know how to create a positive and genuine classroom
It is indeed that online classes are prone to technical issues. I proved that on the
very first day of my teaching experience as a student-teacher. I had a technical issue right
after I let my students watch a video from an online platform. After almost half an hour,
my laptop’s still not responding right. I really felt down and disappointed that time. All my
excitement and nervousness disappeared. Looking on the positive side, I learned that
having multiple plans on the instructional materials are very important, especially in an
online modality where technical difficulties may always happen. A teacher must always
be ready if one or two of his/her strategies are not working, it is needed to have other sets
of the plan so that the discussion will continue if ever a problem occurs.
Every time I teach in the class, the number of students who attend is always few.
After you have prepared your instructional materials and plans, you will only just teach
them to a few students. It’s quite discouraging in the first place, honestly. But, when you
also appreciate the effort of those students who attended, you will also find your
determination and strength to teach. After the second day, I realized that it was a mistake
to think that way. A teacher should always be one of the sources of the motivation and
willingness of the students to learn and participate, so it must come first to the teacher. A
teacher should always be willing and motivated to teach regardless of the attitude and
Are learners really ready for the “new normal?” The advent of the COVID-19
pandemic has changed our educational landscape, forcing schools to abruptly shift to
online classes in lieu of face-to-face classroom set up. In the Philippines, the Covid-19
crisis has affected about 27 million learners, 1 million teachers and non-teaching staff, as
well as the families of learners (Obana, J. 2020). As the world continues to grapple with
the effects of this infectious and deadly disease – destabilizing economy and claiming
many lives – transitioning to distance learning is the most viable alternative so far (Alipio,
2020; Baticulon, Alberto, Baron, Mabulay, Rizada, Sy, Tiu, Clarion & Reyes, 2020). The
current situation poses great challenges to educational institutions not only in the
Philippines, but throughout the world. The restrictions and community quarantine imposed
on many areas particularly in the country have left students with little choice but to attend
online classes. In order for learners to continue education, the Department of Education
(DepEd) and other institutions have implemented online distance learning. Online
participation through the use of various technologies accessed through the internet while
they are geographically remote from each other during instruction (Llego, 2020). Before
the implementation, DepEd has been bombarded with criticisms, with some throwing back
the question on whether DepEd and other educational institutions are really prepared for
the current situation. Despite all the criticisms, these institutions were confident that
Online Distance Learning will work in the Philippines. According to an education official,
about 93 percent of public schools nationwide already have devices that will be used in
the online learning modality for the school year 2020-20121 (Hernando-Malipot,2020).

students and faculty. Previously, the teaching and learning process was carried out by
holding meetings directly with the classroom as a platform. With virtual classrooms,
physical classes that were previously a place for teaching and learning are transformed
into online classes that bring together teachers and students. Teachers will certainly
experience difficulties in carrying out the teaching and learning process. The virtual class
itself has its advantages and disadvantages. The use of virtual classrooms is very useful
in a pandemic nowadays where virtual classes of students and lecturers no longer have
to gather in a room that has a greater risk of spreading the virus. Meanwhile, virtual
example, many students feel that the teaching and learning process carried out in virtual
classes are quite difficult to understand, especially when you want to clarify a material,
many combined voices result in students find it is difficult to concentrate and capture the
material presented by the lecturer. Reviewing the existing problems, it can be said that
during the COVID 19 pandemic, virtual classes have indeed become a matter that
deserves attention in the teaching, and the learning process itself. Because all of this can
affect the perspective of how to learn and how the material can be conveyed. That is why
good virtual classroom management is needed so that classrooms can be well and
systematically implemented. One option that can be done to compensate for this situation
is to paying attention to applied class management. Class management itself takes a very
important role in the ongoing teaching and learning process. Good classroom behavior is
one of the most important characteristics, and a vital aspect of effective classroom
management (Kelly., 2006). One of the biggest challenges for lecturers is the challenge
of running the class. Especially in a pandemic situation, where lecturers must run virtual
classes. The lecturers' preparation of appropriate subjects, effective use of time, and the
amount of time required by students are directly related to virtual management classes.
When it comes to virtual management classes, some skills are also difficult to teach.
namely, speaking skills. That’s because there are differences between the concern in
teaching speaking and the abilities of the student. Based on that, there are some students
who need support. Fun and interactive classroom environment must be fulfilled while still

Comments/Suggestions:
In less than a month, I can say that the student-teacher has acquired and developed sufficient
knowledge, skills, and attitudes that are adaptable to the teaching and learning process in this
type of learning setup. Mastery of the subject matter and integration of the lesson across
curriculum areas were very evident. In fact, she has a gift that can establish meaningful
connections with her students despite the technical limitations encountered. She is also very
open to accepting comments and suggestions which you can be able to observe that she follows
and executes the next day. It is a clear indication that she is flexible and at the same time
adaptive to this type of learning modality and with that mindset I can say that she can do it also
in a Face-to-face set-up. Ma’am Syrille, you are now ready to face the real world of teaching.
Congratulations! Keep it up!

Comments/Suggestions:
The student-teacher demonstrated excellence in teaching the lesson despite having
some audio problems. She also showed off positive strategies that sustained students to focus
and develop a healthy learning culture on their online class. From the start to finish, all students
are actively participating. She influenced students to study lessons all the time in any form or
modalities that we have right now.
Lastly, she is a leader, which I define as someone who can work successfully with
different kinds of people or students in various capacities. She possesses leadership traits that
come from a desire to improve her own competence and character, which she also passes on
to the people with whom she interacts daily. She is also ready to accept any challenge that can
boost her abilities and capabilities as a millennial teacher. Based on my observations of her
performance, I believe that she has the potential to be a dedicated and effective teacher in the
near future. Ma'am SYRILLE MAE D. LOZANO, I am pretty sure that you will succeed on the
path that you have chosen.
Congratulations for a job well done! Looking forward for another success in your future

II. ABSTRACT
The goal of this action research is to improve the participation in Grade 10 science
online class of Angono National High School by the use of an alternative learning platform.
From the selected 30 students of Grade 10 in the section Alexandrite, Amber, Amethyst,
the study revealed that all of them (100%) are experiencing problems such as internet
connection of the teacher (23.33%), their internet connection (53.33%), some errands
they need to do in their house (10%), lagging (10%) and no gadgets or devices (3.33%).
56.67% of them are not also complying on the online activities completely due to these
problems. This also revealed that 100% of the students can access the Padlet application,
and 90% of them who used the Padlet application helps them with the class discussion,
exercises and to access the resource links conveniently. By this, the researchers
proposed the use of the Padlet application as an alternative learning platform for students
with slow internet connection to help the students to cope up with the online discussion,
The introduction of the new normal brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has
resulted in the massive alterations in the instructional processes of the educational sector.
It has been two years since we had the face-to-face learning modality. One of the most
particular, in various ways. As a result of the closure of universities and schools, teachers
and students had to rapidly adapt to remote teaching. Teacher education is no exception.
The need to create learning environments for student teachers doing their teacher
education preparation implied decisions, choices and adaptations in order to meet not
only the expectations of students but also the requirements of teacher education as well
as the conditions in which both universities and schools had to operate (Flores and Gago
2020).
The pandemic has provoked changes in the educational process and has affected

As stipulated in DepEd Order no. 31 s. 2020, teachers and parents must adapt to
the alternative learning modalities to ensure that students will achieve the most essential
learning competencies, and content standards. This will require creative and innovative
performance. Their findings revealed that the lockdown made significant disruptions in
students’ learning experience. The students also reported some challenges that they
faced during their online classes. These include anxiety, depression, poor Internet
service, and unfavorable home learning environments, which are aggravated when
The study formulated different notions for online education in developing countries.
Furthermore, sharing resources before the class will help in creating interactive online
classes. These strategies play a fundamental role in enhancing student learning. The
study suggested that the Higher Education Commission should make collaborations with

of Angono National High School. The Project O.R.D.E.R. will help the students who
