teaching lit exam

Teaching literature exam.


1.) Discuss how modeling and scaffolding affects in the child learning progress.


Modeling and scaffolding are both teaching methods that aims to turn the child into an independent learner. In modeling, from the word itself “model”, the teacher just show how to do a particular thing or shall I say demonstrate something then after that she let’s her learner to do the same thing all by themselves. While in the case of scaffolding it is more on teacher student collaboration learning. The teacher gives hint or assist the child by starting to do an activity but left it undone because the rest will be continue and finish by her student. Modeling and scaffolding affects the child learning progress in a way that it motivates the child to explore more and discover things by depending only to himself. When a child accomplish something by himself, he will gain confidence and starts to believe that he can do more. One important advantage of being an independent learner is that, what the child learns is said to be meaningful because it was them who learns it and because it is meaningful, the learning cant be easily forgotten because it was stored in their long term memory.


2.) construct a concept map showing the advantages and disadvantages of the transmission approach in teaching lit.


“Transmission approach”
Advantages disadvantages
• Easy to use because of it’s familiarity.
• Applicable to most of the subject matter. • No teacher-student interaction since this method is a teacher centered approach.
• Boring in the side of the learner.
• Not so affective in learning progress because students find its boring.



3.) create your own motivational strategy showing the use of student centered theory to introduce a topic in literature. Discuss how you will implement the strategy. Make your own title and identify the materials to be used.


Strategy title : tell me a story
Materials: 5 pictures


I will prepare five pieces of pictures and ask my students to produce a story out of those five pictures. There are no written text in all the pictures that is why my learners will be force to use their imagination creatively. I will use “palabunutan ” method in selecting the students who will make a story. The main motive of this palabunutan method is to make all the students become attentive and to test their creativeness in a situation that they are not prepared.
