FIELD STUDY 1

THE LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT


FS 1 The Learner’s Development and
FIELD STUDY Environment
COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to help the Field Study. Students verify the behavior of the child
in the actual learning environment. It will require them to recognize feasible approaches to
facilitate learning considering the learner’s different phases of development and social
environment.
Field Study 1 can be anchored on these professional education subjects:
• Child and Adolescent Development
• Facilitating learning
• Social Dimensions of Education
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
1. Identify the stage of the physical, motor, linguistic, literacy, cognitive, social and
emotional development of the children or adolescents as manifested in the actual
classroom setting.
2. Observe and reflect on the different approaches employed by the teacher in dealing
with learners in the different stages of development.
3. Analyze how the teaching and learning process should be conducted considering the
different phases of child development.
