Educational Pedagogy Worksheet

While assisting your resource teacher in a chemistry class, a student asks a question about why ice floats on water. You confidently explain it using concepts from density and molecular structure. This shows:

• Relevance of the material to learners’ experiences

• Mastery of the subject matter

• Use of inquiry-based teaching

• Integration of content areas

You notice that students are struggling to understand Newton’s third law. You suggest to your resource teacher to use balloon rockets as a demo activity. This illustrates:

• Appropriateness and variety of teaching strategies

• Integration of content across learning areas

• Constructivist approach

• Use of higher-order thinking skills

During an inquiry-based lesson, you encourage students to make predictions about plant growth based on sunlight exposure. This promotes:

• Direct instruction

• Use of higher-order thinking skills

• Relevance of materials

• Teacher-centered approach

While helping in a biology class, you connect the concept of human respiration with energy transformation in physics. This demonstrates:

• Constructivist teaching

• Integration of content across learning areas

• Mastery of subject matter

• Variety of teaching strategies

A student comments that the examples in your PowerPoint are all from foreign contexts. You revise the slides to include local examples such as tropical plants and native animals. This reflects:

• Relevance of learning materials to learners’ context

• Integration of with the discipline and content areas

• Use of HOTS in questioning

• Differentiated instruction

When your resource teacher demonstrates a reaction, you guide the class in formulating hypotheses before the procedure. This best illustrates:

• Direct instruction

• Inquiry-based teaching

• Integration of disciplines

• Use of reinforcement

You assist in a lesson about pollution and propose including a short math activity where students calculate carbon emissions. This is an example of:

• Constructivist approach in science teaching

• Integration of content across learning areas

• Relevance of learning materials

• Mastery of subject matter

During a discussion, a student provides a partially correct answer. You acknowledge the idea and guide them to reason further instead of simply correcting them. This promotes:

• Classroom management

• Relevance to context

• Integration of subjects

• Higher-order thinking skills

In assisting a physics experiment, you notice that some students easily complete the task. You add an extension question asking them to explain the real-life applications of their results. This shows:

• Mastery of the subject matter

• Inquiry-based teaching

• Use of higher-order thinking skills

• Variety of strategies

You help your resource teacher design a review activity that combines short quizzes, peer teaching, and a group concept map. This illustrates:

• Direct instruction

• Integration of content areas

• Appropriateness and variety of teaching strategies

• Relevance to learners’ context and experiences
