    The document discusses the importance of problem-based learning for various stakeholders. It then provides an example of using problem-based learning to address the problem of poor English reading ability among 7th grade students. The example walks through defining the problem, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through a reading tutorial, analyzing data from pre- and post-reading tests, and arriving at the conclusion that the tutorial was effective at improving reading ability. The document also lists strengths and weaknesses of the problem-based learning approach and provides an example of how brainstorming could be used to determine which COVID-19 vaccines a government should procure.

    1.

    What is the importance of Problem-based learning to:


    a. Teachers
    The importance of PBL to the teachers is that it enables them to adapt
    and utilize a new strategy in their classroom that will help the learners
    enjoy the teaching-learning process. When students are having fun and
    showing interest during the learning experience where the strategy is
    used, they will always be looking forward to doing it anew. Thus, class
    attendance increases and teachers pedagogical approach is exemplified.
    b. Students
    The importance of PBL to the students is that it binds their interest and
    attention and goals together as they seek for solutions to a problem they
    were able to identify. In addition, it helps the students to have a greater
    understanding of complex concepts and those that they find difficult
    comprehending. In the long run, problem-based learning develops
    students whom are lifelong learners.
    c. Parents
    The importance of PBL to the parents is that it helps them cultivate and
    hone their children’s skills—for instance, critical and analytical thinking,
    that will someday become beneficial to them as they face the challenges
    of the real world. Also, when students are interested with the subject
    matter, there will be less of them who are making troubles at school. With
    this, parents will be at ease with their children’s education.
    d. School heads
    The importance of PBL to the school heads is that it allows them to
    build a school that is rooted in providing solutions to problems so making
    school learning like rea-world learning. It will also help them to give new
    inputs and perspective in teaching-learning process when amending
    school curricula and or when implementing programs that highlights in
    making schools an authentic learning milieu.
    e. Community
    The importance of PBL to the community is that it makes them an ally
    of the students or the school in general in providing solution or working
    towards a solution for an existing problem that is relevant to the them. The
    community can serve as the working-field/laboratory where they will be
    looking and working on with their problems.

    2. List at least five problems in your field of specialization. Rank according to


    your perceived level of priority.
    1. Accuracy over fluency
    2. Ineffective technology integration
    3. Lack of resources
    4. Language barrier
    5. Large number of student
    3. Following the steps of PBL, choose one problem and present your output.
    Problem: Poor English reading ability of seventh grade students

    Defining the problem: The shift of the Philippine curriculum due to pandemic—
    from face-to-face learning to blended or online learning, has resulted to a
    great number of seventh grade students with poor English reading ability
    according to a survey.

    Formulating a hypothesis: If an 1hour/day reading tutorial will mitigate the


    number of seventh grade students with poor English reading ability

    Testing the likely hypothesis using appropriate methodology: A volunteer


    tutors will be identified and will be tasked to teach the students to read from
    basic sight words and common words to more complex words. The tutorial will
    run for a month. After, students will undergo a reading test to ascertain
    improvements they are able to make.

    Gathering, recording and analyzing data: The data gathered shows that 95%
    of the students were able to make improvements with their reading ability—
    they can now read and understand better and faster than before they took the
    tutorial. However, some students though can now read fast basic sight words
    are still having difficulty reading complex words.

    Arriving at a conclusion: The 1hour/day tutorial was able to provide seventh


    grade students with poor English reading ability the necessary assistance to
    improve their skill reading. Moreover, the strategy used which was teaching
    them to read from basic sight words to complex words is found to be effective
    in making students read and understand better.

    4. Give the strengths and weaknesses of problem-based learning.


    Strengths:
     Children will be able to tackle whatever difficulties they meet
     Stimulates reflective thinking and furnishing a guide for organizing ideas
     Develops independence and initiative
     It builds scientific attitude of considering all data accurately and objectively
    and testing the conclusion carefully
     Child’s attitude towards school work is improved due to their psychological
    drive to learn
     Provides opportunities to utilize facts to real life situations
    Weaknesses:
     The different steps are time-consuming
     This methodology is recommended for those who possess patience and
    persistence to continue the search for answers even if takes a long time
     Some students lack the analytical and critical mind to process the data
    gathered resulting in incorrect conclusions
     Superficial thought
     Over-rationalization
     Forming hasty conclusions
     Losing-sight of the main thought

    5. Which of the different problem-solving methodologies do you prefer? Give


    example of a real world problem which you will solve using that methodology.
    Methodology: Brainstorming
    Real world problem: Among the many Covid-19 vaccines, which should
    the government must procure for its people?

    6. If you are a teacher today, how will you solve the problems of our country
    today regarding the teaching-learning mode?

    If I were a teacher today, I will solve the problems of our country today
    regarding the teaching-learning mode by providing students
    approaches/methodologies in teaching that are amenable and efficient to
    them. I will not require them to go online when they can’t even afford to have
    mobile phones and internet connectivity is unavailable or at its worst often
    times, but rather resort to modular learning scheme. In addition, I will
    supplement this by doing home visitations to students who are struggling to
    comprehend concepts in deem to the subject matter. As a 21 st century
    teacher, I should be flexible.
