Elements of Teaching

The teacher, the materials, the learning environment, the students, and their behavior are considered the essential elements that should be seen inside the classroom. Those said elements forms a harmony in a school and teaching. As expected, all should be seen in the classroom. With all the elements mentioned being seen in the classroom would make teaching and learning easier for the teachers as well as the students. Without the other, some things may not become as efficient as per with the one that has it all. But of course, there's always an exception. Not everything are meant to be perfect, wanna know why? Because nothing is perfect. You might label something or someone as perfect, but somehow they do have their own flaws or imperfections. 

Same with the elements given above, not all can be present in the classroom. With such claim, I observed the class of Mrs. Dizon to know if what I'm claiming is right. Upon my observation, elements such as the teacher (Mrs. Dizon), the students are always present. The learning environment is also present, yet I think their classroom is too congested to handle all 50 students in a class. The materials, same with the other elements mentioned earlier are present. However, they are not enough for the class. An example would be the books. Some students don't have books so they often share with their classmates when needed. And lastly, the behavior of students. Student's behavior on studying and learning varies from one student to another, so I think this element is sometimes present and sometimes not. Other students shows eagerness when my cooperating teacher is discussing while others are not. I do think that other elements has an effect on why other student's are not listening at times but that would be an another observation.  

For me, all elements mentioned above are really essential to be successful in the teaching field. On the other hand, the reality says that oftentimes we cant have it all. Hence, it is now up to the teacher to make the teaching effective even with the lack of some specific elements. After all, teachers are well, the best instructional material. 

Teachers are awesome!
