Activity 2
Questions
4. Do you think Multigrade teaching will address the issues and problems? Why?
Answer
There is a need for multi-grade teaching to impart knowledge to those who are underserved
students. Education should be for all. Multigrade teaching will help to provide the educational
needs of the children who are living in remote areas that lack attention from the government
and educational sectors.
Multi-grade teaching is to teach students in one classroom with different grade levels. It is
a situation of teaching different students by one teacher which encountered different types
Yes, it is suitable for remote areas because of lack of facilities/classrooms and teachers. Most
of the remote areas have children that need education but they are underserved, to cater the
educational needs, multigrade teaching is applicable for this situation.
4. Do you think Multigrade teaching will address the issues and problems? Why?
For me,Yes. Multigrade teaching will address the problem mostly occurring in remote
areas in terms of educational needs of the students. It is the best solution for the problem of
having different students in an area with a limited number of classrooms and teachers.

Performance Task 1
Ask or Interview a Teacher who is handling a Multigrade class or a teacher who handled a
Multigrade class. Use the following guide questions:
4. How might the responsibility for teaching and learning be different in the Multigrade
classroom?
Answer
Physical arrangement of multigrade classroom is very different than a usual single grade
classroom. In a multigrade classroom, the teacher will have to think of ways on dividing the
space of the room equally according to the number of grade level he/she is handling. Some
teachers provide divisions using curtains, others use bulletin boards or any materials which will
be able to divide the classroom space. This is very necessary to avoid and minimize learning
disruption of every grade level within one classroom. When it comes to classroom structuring,
teacher’s think of various ways wherein he/she can follow the classroom structuring guidelines
that will still cater all the grade level expectations of the different grade levels he/she is handling
and occupying the same classroom.
Teachers program in a multigrade classroom is very hectic especially if the grade level
he/she is handling have quite far different topics and learning objectives. There are also some
lessons which can be merged since they have almost the same learning objectives. Still it would
take for a teacher to have effective plan and ways on how she could merge and execute lessons
that would be successful enough in obtaining the learning objectives.

3. Do you think Multigrade Teaching will address the issues and problems? Why?
Answer
Multigrade teaching is a method in which one teacher will teach two or more different
grade levels of students in one classroom. It is an educational program to cater the educational
needs of the children who are living in one area that have insufficient teachers.
I think it is suitable only in remote schools because mostly remote areas are places that
have insufficient children but it has different grade levels. For example, in one village there are
30-40 students and these students have different grade levels so the number of teachers
needed is only one and multigrade teaching is applicable in this situation.
3. Do you think Multigrade Teaching will address the issues and problems? Why?
I think yes, because since there are insufficient number of students with different grade
levels then multigrade teaching is the solution to these problems. One teacher is able to handle
this small number of students even though they were in different grade levels.

PRELIM EXAM
Answer
• Advance learning of the lower grade level of the students shall be observed from the
higher grade level discussion by the teacher.
• Recall and remember the past lesson, while the teacher discusses the lower grade level,
the higher grade level will recall and remember it.
• Modeling, the higher grade level students serve as a model, how they socialize and in
expectations.
• Create strong teacher-student relationship, the long time teaching of students will build
a strong relationship in which the teacher will be able to have more knowledge about the
interests, strengths and weaknesses of the students.
The multigrade classroom function, by the alternation of work. While the teacher
discusses lessons on the other grade, the other grade levels are then provided by paper works.
But before letting them do their paper works, instructions should be given first. Instructions
should be brief and easy enough to be understood by the learners. All questions from the
learners regarding the paperwork should be answered first. Everything should be cleared before
proceeding. When the teacher is done with the discussion to that certain grade level, paper
works or activities are given to them also, so this time teacher will have time to discuss lessons
for the other grade level who are first given paper works.
In my own opinion, the Philippines have multigrade classes because there are a lot of
elementary schools in isolated, underserved, and sparsely populated communities in the
Philippines that need Filipino students in remote areas to complete their basic education.
According to Villalino,2010, there are areas where enrollment lacks teachers making it necessary
for different grade levels to be combined. Thus, in areas that are isolated and sparsely
populated, geographically inaccessible, or deficient in educational resources, multigrade classes
have been adopted as strategy to ensure Education for All. As of school year 2008-2009, there
were 37,697 public elementary schools and 12,225 of these or 32% were multigrade in nature.

program in schools. Discuss each.
• It requires more discipline, greater concentration and more focus in order to benefit
from effective strategies.
- In peer-teaching, group work and self-directed learning, the students with no discipline
is not effective on the strategies like these.
- The students will need to wait for the teacher to finish from the other class.
- Learners are less relied with the teacher because of the situation that they need to have an
ability to be resourceful and initiate things independently for the function to be effective.
-Students can share their ideas, experience and perspective with regards to their lessons or
activities with each other.
-They will train to be independent and self-directed learners and they will practice critical
thinking in analyzing and doing their assigned task.

Questions:
1. What are the advantages of handling multigrade class on the part of the teacher?
2.What are the challenges of handling multigrade class on the part of the teacher?
3. Based on the response of the teacher, make a reflection as a future teacher who will possibly
handle a multigrade class.
Answer
1. What are the advantages of handling multigrade class on the part of the teacher?
- As a multigrade teacher, I could say that multigrade class is a big challenge to me but it
will help me to harness my teaching skills using different strategies by handling different grade
levels in one classroom. I could be able to build strong relationship with them in a prolong time
and to know them more to assess their needs and it will help me to adopt/ use appropriate
teaching strategies. Aside from that, I become more resourceful when it comes to classroom
structuring, teacher’s think of various ways wherein he/she can follow the classroom structuring
guidelines that will still cater all the grade level expectations of the different grade levels he/she
is handling and occupying the same classroom (Rosalie Guinayao, Multigrade teacher)
2. What are the challenges of handling multigrade class on the part of the teacher?
- For me, the challenges that I have been encountered by handling multigrade class are
the lack of resources on how to structure my classroom, short time to prepare the curriculum
materials, handling students with different age, behavior and learning needs.
3. Based on the response of the teacher, make a reflection as a future teacher who will possibly
handle a multigrade class.
As a future teacher, to be a teacher is not easy especially when you are handling
multigrade classes but it is not only a profession, it is a duty to impart knowledge to your
students. Based on my interview, the love and passion of a teacher towards her students is
important. If you love your profession, you will be a superhero in which you can do everything
just to help your students. A teacher that has a multi-tasking ability and lots of hands to deliver
activities in different grade levels in one classroom.

Performance Task 2
Answer
The effective Multi-grade teaching involved different strategies used by the teacher to
impart knowledge which is the main function of a multi-grade teacher. Through of this, the
learning of the students can be meaningful and effective because of individual differences of the
students will be catered. Aside from the different strategies used by the teacher, the passion
and love of the teacher to teach is important to have effective multi-grade teaching. Another
thing is the Systematic, well-organized and planned instructional delivery and grouping. A well –
managed classroom that is conducive to learning because the necessary resources are available
and the necessary discipline among the students has been developed so that they can focus on
learning. A cooperative learning environment where self-directed learning is balanced with
teacher –directed activities, peer teaching and group work.
2. What are the basic principles of Multi-grade teaching?
• Children are unique. They are individuals and no two children are alike physically,
emotionally, socially and intellectually. Each child is a unique individual. They will each have
their own life experiences and feelings about themselves. They have different likes and dislikes,
interests and needs.
• Children learn best from experience. Children learn by doing using their senses,
exploring their environment of people, things, events and places.
• Children can and do learn well from one another. They learn concretely as they work in
groups or in pairs that different people have different points of view. Children can be more
honest with one another especially children from ages 7 and above who are more comfortable
with peers.

Answer
As an aspirant teacher, my goal is to teach children, to share all my abilities and knowledge
and to provide access to quality education not just for one class but for those who needs
education especially in remote areas wherein the community has an adequate or insufficient
sources in education. The most important is the education on how I going to help children to
learn.
For me, multigrade teaching exist in Philippines because there some areas that are isolated,
underserved, and sparsely populated communities that needs quality education in which the
Education for All is implemented and exercise.

Answer
Multigrade classroom function by having one teacher and has different age level and
different grade level in one classroom and such areas multigrade schools not only aim to give
enrolment and continuous attendance in school environments, but also to provide knowledge
and pedagogy of good standards and in addition to play a wider role in social development.
* To creates diverse yet balanced groupings of students of mixed ages with different abilities,
including special needs and gifted students.
*Enhanced social and natural settings in multiage classrooms can help raise students’ social
and emotional skills.
* According to Logue, 2006 Research on early childhood multiage grouping found that student
disobedience was considerably less prevalent in multiage groupings than in single-age
classrooms; and because of higher rates of language exchange among mixed-age children, those
in multiage groupings had higher language development as well.

Performance Task 1
Seating Arrangement As you organise your classroom, note all the factors that influence
the plan of your classroom. In the previous unit, you learned that the timetable must be flexible.
The same is true for the classroom. You must be able to rearrange the classroom furniture just
as you are able to rearrange the furniture in your own home.
Students’ Desks. Frequently, teachers tend to allocate desks or tables to learners but
fail to guide learners on how to care for their desks. Learners need to know how to keep their
desks tidy.
Walls. Although teachers are not always consulted when classrooms are built, you could
still mention to the principal or school authorities that light colours such as white, light blue and
light pink influence learning in a positive way. In some cases, the school can buy the paint and
the Parents and Teachers Association can paint your classroom.
Light in the Class. In most parts of Africa, light and fresh air are easy to obtain. Learners
should be reminded to open their windows in order to allow fresh air in the classroom. In some
Southern African Development Community countries, it is very hot. If classrooms are not well
ventilated, the learners will be drowsy.
Shop and Display Corners. In classroom Models 1 and 2, there are areas such as class
shop, learning centre and reading corner and dress-up or home corners. These areas are
described below.
The Class Shop. You can set up a make-believe store or market in your classroom.
Students can pretend they are shoppers or shop-keepers in order to practise a number of skills,
including language, social skills and mathematical skills. The learners and you need to collect the
following empty basic household items for your class shop: cans of beans, beef soup powder,
cartons of milk, cans, boxes of matches and maize meal containers.

Activity 2
Answer
1. Since the teacher cannot be everywhere or with each student simultaneously, the
teacher shares instructional responsibilities with students. A context of clear rules and routines
makes such shared responsibility productive. Students know what the teacher expects. They
know what assignments to work on, when they are due, how to get them graded, how to get
extra help, and where to turn assignments in.
Students learn how to help one another and themselves. At an early age, students are expected
to develop independence. The effective multigrade teacher establishes a climate to promote
and develop this independence. For example, when young students enter the classroom for the
first time, they receive help and guidance not only from the teacher, but from older students. In
this way, they also learn that the teacher is not the only source of knowledge.
Instructional grouping practices also play an important role in a good multigrade classroom. The
teacher emphasizes the similarities among the different grades and teaches to them, thus
conserving valuable teacher time. For example, whole-class (cross-grade) instruction is often
used since the teacher can have contact with more students. However, whole-class instruction
in the effective multigrade classroom differs from what one generally finds in a single-grade
class.
2. In the Philippines, the most common problems in multigrade classrooms are preparation and
teaching-learning situations, lack of school facilities, schedule of activities, big class size, poor
working
conditions of teachers, inadequate pre and in-service training of teachers in specific skills related
to
multigrade teaching, and concern about the academic achievement of children (Mirando, 2012,
p. 117).
Despite the challenges of teachers assigned in a multigrade environment, they give their best for
their
students' learning experience to be productive and meaningful (Naparan & Alinsug, 2021). They
even
shared part of their salaries to produce learning materials for their students (Castigador, 2019).
