JLo; Change Maker fresh from Hollywood

By: Leonardo P. Almario

Through times students change their way of thinking likewise their capability in acquiring knowledge in the four corners of the classroom undergoes modification.

The traditional set-up undergoes adjustment and deal with the kind of learners entering the room.

In an Outcomes Based Education (OBE) curriculum it focuses on the product made by the students, the outcome in the end of every lesson, on the other hand, through the implementation of Commission on Higher Education (CHED) memorandum order number 3 series of 2016, K-12 curriculum change this matter nationwide including the teaching and learning in Dolores National High School where Mrs Jeneffer “JLo” Lopez were teaching English subject.

“The International Challenger” we call her that because of her well-known Hollywood “katukayo” JLo, and nothings different she was as energetic and as active as this singing superstar. DNHS’s Grade 9-Sapphire was handled by Ma’am JLo in their English class, where I observed. I graduated in this school way back 2015 and in less than two years of not visiting I feel I’m entering in an altered place, many transformations occur. Out-dated classrooms turn into information Communication Technology (ICT) classrooms. The role of technology got a broader impact in teaching profession.

The use of analogous teaching module nationwide is also exhibited in the said school in a Heterogeneous class section, unlike in our batch that was partitioned in a Homogeneous type. Hetero division was consisting of diverse learners studying in the same class.

Technology such as computer and software like Microsoft Power-Point Presentation help an individual learner to visualize what he/she was learning. The use of this tool helps students to attain better understanding of the topic this was shown in the English class  of Ma’am JLo in Grade 9-Sapphire’s “poetry analysis, sonnet”, the students view the poem in the monitor and make their analysis paper and pencil output is not replaced.

The use of rubrics in the oral recitation is spotted helping the students to know the objectives they must met in the end. 

This shows that development doesn’t stop, it was planned, designed, implemented, and evaluate through times to say that improvement transpire.
