EDUC 14– PRINCIPLES OF TEACHING 1
Name: John Christian M. Madera Sched Code: 232151
Task 1: My Own Taxonomy of Thinking Words

Revised Taxonomy
A taxonomy of thinking and learning is a systematic classification or categorization of the cognitive

processes involved in thinking, comprehending, and learning. It gives a framework for comprehending how
various sorts of thinking and learning abilities can be created and evaluated. In this context, for me one specific
subject or course that students must acquire is "Educational Psychology."
Educational psychology is the scientific study of human learning and development within educational
contexts. It investigates how people learn and remember information, as well as the factors that influence
learning outcomes. Understanding educational psychology principles is critical for students since it gives them
insight into how to improve their learning practices and academic performance.
Task 2. My Teacher’s Way of Teaching Content for Learning

This activity accentuated that there is no limit to the examples a teacher provides for his/her students. Thus, learning by
example should be the utmost concern of every teacher.
Directions: Cite some of your teacher’s best practices on how he/se makes use of the content beyond the cognitive
demand of the subject/course…
Note: Be sure to identify the subject/course that falls under each teacher.

Task 3. Task: Designing a Motivational Activity
EcoQuest: Exploring Ecosystems

Objectives of the Activity:
 To deepen students' understanding of ecosystem dynamics and interdependence.

 To foster curiosity and intrinsic motivation in exploring ecological concepts.
 To promote collaborative learning and critical thinking skills.
Description of the Activity

In this activity, students will embark on an "EcoQuest" where they will investigate different ecosystems
within the school environment. The activity will span several class periods and involve various stages:
DAY Instructional Activities

Introduction - Day 1 Begin with a brief discussion on ecosystems,
highlighting their importance and components.
Introduce the concept of the EcoQuest and explain
the objectives.
Team Formation and Ecosystem Selection - Day 2 Divide students into small teams of 3-4 members.
Each team selects an ecosystem within the school
premises (e.g., garden, pond, forest area).
Research and Planning - Day 3-4 Teams conduct research on their chosen ecosystem,
including its biotic and abiotic components, species
diversity, and interactions.
Encourage students to use various resources such as
textbooks, online databases, and field guides.
Teams develop a plan outlining their approach to
exploring and documenting the ecosystem.
Field Exploration Day 5-6 Teams venture into their selected ecosystems
equipped with observation tools (e.g., magnifying
glasses, binoculars) and data collection sheets.
Students observe, document, and analyze the
ecosystem dynamics, noting key findings and
interactions.
Data Analysis and Presentation - Day 7-8 Teams collate their observations and data collected
during the field exploration.
Students analyze their findings, identify patterns, and
draw conclusions about ecosystem dynamics.
Each team prepares a presentation summarizing their
EcoQuest experience, including key findings,
challenges faced, and insights gained
Explanation of Motivational Techniques

Goal Setting: At the beginning of the activity, students set goals for their EcoQuest journey, such as
discovering unique species or understanding nutrient cycles. Setting personalized goals enhances intrinsic
motivation and provides a sense of direction.
Optimal Challenge: The activity is designed to offer an optimal level of challenge by allowing students to
explore real-world ecosystems. The complexity of ecological interactions presents challenges that stimulate
curiosity and promote engagement.
Experiential Learning: Through hands-on exploration and data collection in the field, students actively
engage with ecological concepts, leading to deeper learning and retention. Experiencing ecosystems firsthand
fosters a sense of connection and appreciation for the natural world.
Materials/Resources Needed
 Field observation tools (magnifying glasses, binoculars)

 Data collection sheets or notebooks
 Reference materials (textbooks, field guides)
 Presentation materials (PowerPoint, poster boards)
Reflection on Potential Challenges and Strategies
Potential challenges include inclement weather, logistical constraints in accessing certain ecosystems, and
time management during field exploration. Strategies for addressing these challenges may include having
backup indoor activities for adverse weather conditions, organizing transportation for off-campus ecosystems,
and allocating sufficient time for data collection and analysis.
