    LEARNING EPISODE 2: THE LEARNER’S CHARACTERISTICS AND NEEDS


    OVERVIEW

    This learning episode presents the learner’s characteristics and needs. It aims to provide a
    review of the important concepts regarding a learner’s characteristics and needs, allow the students
    to conduct an observation of such characteristics and needs, and draw out the student’s reflection on
    how these things affect learning.

    The field study plan will guide the student in the steps that he or she shall go through as he or
    she engages in the field study experience. In this learning episode, the student will encounter an
    activity titled Activity 2.1 Learner’s Characteristics and Needs.

    At the end of the activity, the student will be asked to answer processing questions in order to
    examine what he or she has gleaned from it. The student will also be asked to provide his or her
    insights and reflections, as well as five key learning points from the entire learning episode. Afterward,
    the instructor shall evaluate the student’s performance during the learning episode and ask the
    student to accomplish the documentation/portfolio requirement to further enhance the student’s field
    study and observation.

    LEARNING OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this learning episode, the student should be able to:

    1. review the important concepts regarding learner characteristics and needs;


    2. conduct an observation in a school that focuses on their learner’s characteristics and needs;
    and
    3. reflect on how learners’ characteristics and needs impact their learning experience.

    CONCEPT DISCUSSION

    1. Characteristics
     Learners are characterized in the school environment primarily based on their grade
    level- as preschool, kinder, elementary, junior high school, and senior high school
    students. From this initial characterization, learners are further characterized based on
    their specific physiological, emotional/affective, intellectual, and social attributes.
     Learners are also characterized based on their stages of development through which
    their learning developments are shaped and gauged.
    a. Childhood (early, middle, and late) 3-12 years old
    b. Adolescence (early, middle, and late) 12-21 years old

    2. Needs
     A need is a motivating force usually rooted in necessity, deficiency, or imbalance that
    leads one to find a way for its satisfaction. The needs of a learner are representative of

    what he or she is expected to learn in connection with his or her learning characteristics.
    Such needs span across four domains: cognitive, social, affective, and psychomotor.

    PROCESSING QUESTIONS AND ANALYSIS


    1. Do you think your respondent matches the general characteristic of other learners in his or her
    age group? Explain
    Based from my observations, the students that I am handling are different from the general
    characteristics of learners at their age. The grade 5 - SSES are more intellectually advance then
    other normal student. Some are mentally gifted displaying their difference based in their
    behaviour and mental capacity from those normal students. They are more physically,
    emotionally and mentally active than other students.

    2. What specific interventions or support can you provide to the type of learner your respondent is
    based on the needs you identified above?
    Since some of the students are mentally gifted, the students needed emotional support
    from their parents and teachers and longer patience for them. They need a teacher who
    matches their learning capacity that can gain their interest and attention in learning.

    INSIGHTS AND REFLECTIONS


    What insights and reflection can you derive from this specific field study experience?
    In a classroom setting, there will always be one student who will be different from other
    students. They act and behave differently from others. I have observed some actions/behaviors
    of some students that normal students at their age does not normally do. With this experience, it
    makes me realize that students are really different from each other. They are different in their
    learning style and behavior, in other words, each student are unique and one the role of the
    teacher is to understand every students and make them feel that they belong and they are not
    different from other. It is one of the role of the teacher to have no boundaries on the learning
    process of his students.

    CLOSING DISUCUSSION
    State five (5) key learning points that you were able to capture in this field study experience.

    My Key Learning Points


    1. Students uniqueness

    2. Differentiated learning style

    3. The student is mentally gifted

    4. The student is very active inside the classroom

    5. The student are intellectually smart on their own way
