On 23th January,
it was my first time going to FEU High School, because their students in
midterms so I was start
observing on 24th January.
General Information
There are several activities I was
observing for one week not only observing the classes but also I have observed
some extracurricular activities and programs of FEU High School, also general information and acadmic service in FEU . FEU High
School itself have the lessons about 5 days and on Wednesday they don’t have a
formal classes. Besides that, it is also divided into four strand for grade 11th
and 12th such STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics), ABM (Accountant, Business Management), HUMS ( Humanities and Social
Sciences), GAS ( General Academic Strand). Below details for activities I was
observing.

cooperative learning which is working in groups and discovery learning which is
the process of discovery concept by student itself and experiment activities.
Materials and Other Learning Sources
For the materials, the teachers in FEU High School that teaches
English but still mixed with Tagalog Language.
Teachers use internet (Book Online) and textbook, to get teaching aids
(for power point presentation) and English as Second Language (ESL) in that
school. For experiment activities the learning sources based on completely laboratory
apparatus.
Measurement and
Evaluation System
This school has different measurement and evaluation system
with school in my country, Indonesia. FEU High School has some criteria for

Curriculum
All of the schools in Philippines use the curriculum from
the government. It’s called K to 12 means
education obligatory start from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. The Curriculum
was implemented 4 years ago, after the former President Benigno Aquino mandated
this so that the Philippine schools will have the same number of years with the
other South East Asian Countries. With that, the Far Eastern University used
the same curriculum, two years now after its opening. This is to make sure
that, students get to choose the right track for their future profession. The
curriculum also would like to help those students, to make them work-ready
after graduating from Senior High School

There are, what i've got about general information of FEU High School here, i will explain detail observation in first week :
A. OBSERVATION
OF SCIENCE CLUB (EXTRA CURICULLAR ACTIVITIES)
1.
Materials and Learning Resources
Science
Club is the one of extracurricular activities offered in FEU High School.
Meetings are held once every month, the club accommodates all the students with
maximum of only 40 students for each classes. The materials were using learning
resources such laboratory apparatus, laptop, another material needed for ,
power point presentation, projector and
worksheet.
Teaching
System is experimental. So in this case, There are two activities that I was
attending, simple destilation activities doing purifying and separated of real
water and etanol and activities of pH and temperature. The objectives were
determine the effect of temperature and pH in the enzyme activities.
2. Pedagogycal Contents
2.1
Teaching Methods
Teaching methods was using is discovery learning which is some activities divide three steps such are
introduction session, core activities, and closing activities. Introduction session were orientation and motivation .
Orientation activities were greetings and pray together, then given some short explanation about what going to
do and divide student for some groups. Core Activities session is stimulation based on a video to focus
on material, tops methods and procedures scientific and occupational safety in the laboratory then let the student
did, but still controlled by teacher. This methods is a process of inductive inquiry where learners conducting
experiments, a theory which closely resembles the scientific process.
During the process, student following teachers rules and some of them so excited, asking sometimes
about experiment but not at all . Teacher in happy feelings to explain the details. At the closing session,
teacher asked one student who represented each group presented of the result and give some conclusion.
For Simple Destilation experiment teacher given worksheet as report in the end activities.
2.2 Using Materials and Innovation
At this part, materials using based on video presentation but one things that the activities be success
a that is completely laboratory apparatus, so it can be the strength .
The Innovation as long as observer be seen based on completely stuffs in laboratory and the approach
did experiments.
Experiments of Effect of pH and temperature in the enzyme activities
The Student did the experiments on liver
Simple Destilation Experiments
Teacher Controlled the Experiment
B. OBSERVATION ALTERNATIVE INTEGRATED CLASS
Alternative Integrated Class is the program of FEU High School, which is
the students from another strand could take classes they interested like
science, arts ,business, and so on. but
its not the formal class . Every student
for one semester required to take two classes. I was observed at science
class. And duration of each class about one hour thirty minutes, teacher can
responsible two classes.
1. Materials and Learning Resources
The materials was using learning
resources such power point presentation and projector. Teaching system that is
direction learning.
2. Pedagogycal Contents
2.1 Teaching
Methods
Teacher
started the class with some steps,
divide three steps such are introduction session, core activities, and
closing activities. Introduction session were greetings and pray
together, then started with given explanation based on powerpoint
presentation as core activities and closing activities with watched the video
and reflection.
2.2 Using Materials and Innovation
At this part, materials using focus on video
as presentation and the Innovation as
long as observer be seen, the innovation like management the classes with a
approach. So that, it will be the one of the strength, besides focuses of
student also still low and become opportunity for increase other teaching
system.
D. OBSERVATION of CLASSES
1. Materials and Learning Resources
I
was observing some classes which the strand is STEM and ABM, grade 11th
and 12th and generally the
materials was using learning resources such power point presentation and
projector, sometimes another material for learning like materials for games.
Teaching system for every teacher was different sometimes direction learning,
cooperative learning which is working in groups, and discovery learning which
is the process of discovery concept by student it self.
2. Pedagogycal Contents
2.1 Teaching
Methods
Every
teacher has different methods based on teaching system will be used but generally divided into three
steps such introduction, core activities, and closing activities. In
introduction session, teacher did daily routine like motivation with recall back previous objectives, there
are also using games at the beginning of learning, and then teacher told what the goals of student be
able to after learning. Core activities
focus on teacher methods in learning. When I was observing with between 2
teacher, they have different methods to using like power point presentation, working students
into group, and games. During the process,
I could be seen how the way teacher manage classroom and manage time
with their own methods. Manage the classromm talking about how the teacher can
handle the students with different character and manner to making students more participate in
learning. In Closing activities, teacher make evaluation with test and quiz
2.2 Using Materials and Innovation
At this part, every objectives were using
different, one teacher focuses on powerpoint presentation and another one
focuses on give the students task about performance task
about the topic. The Innovation as long as
observer be seen, if the innovation talking about new approach to made students
more participating than before with usually methods, it could be said the
innovation could be seen. So that, it will be the strength eventhough beside that
focuses of student also still low and become opportunity for increase other

Teaching Methods
Every
teacher has different methods based on teaching systems which will be used but generally divided into three
steps such introduction, core activities, and closing activities. In
introduction session, teacher did daily routine like motivation with recall
back previous objectives, there are also using games at the beginning of
learning, and then teacher told what the goals of student be able to after
learning. Core activities focus on teacher methods in learning based on level
competency of the students
During
the process, I could be seen how the way teacher manage classroom and manage
time with their own methods. Manage the classroom talking about how the teacher
can handle the students with different character and manner to making students more participate in
learning because students’ characteristics are
different; some students are active in the class, and some of them are passive
or seems like they feel shy and unconfident to be active in the classroom. In closing activities, teacher makes evaluation with test and quiz. In
the class, teacher using English to explain the formula of physics and to more
explain about concept using Philippines language
Learning
Materials and Innovation
At this part, every objective in
meeting were using different, teacher focuses on power point presentation then students
given performance task about the topic and teacher making games related to
objectives. The Innovation as long as i have seen, if the innovation talking
about new approach to made students more participating than before with usually
methods, it could be said the innovation could be seen. So that, it will be the
strength even beside that focuses of student also still low and become
opportunity for increase other teaching approach.
Sources of Learning and Technology
Teachers
use internet to get teaching aids and in the library facilitate for online books,
so the students or teacher not carry textbooks more even though they still have
to. The technology in the classroom, there are projector can be used by the teacher
to deliver the materials, the students not only learn in the class but
sometimes in the laboratory.
Authentic Assessment
The foundation of authentic
assessment revolves around evaluating a students’ ability to apply what they
have learned in physics. Students are asked to quiz or another test to
evaluation at the end of the class or at the end of the topics. It’s also with
midterm and final semester which standardized on the same grade level for every
strands.
