Analysis
1. Where did most of your responses fall in the checklist? More of YES or more of
NO?
- Most of my responses fall in the checklist is more of no’s.
2. If more of yes, how did you feel about those experience?
3. If more of no, how did you feel under those circumstances?
- Under those circumstances, I can't explain how I felt because the teacher has
a flow plan or lesson plan for all activities or learning competencies that a
student must complete. And as a student, it is necessary to comply with and
do all the activities or performance tasks that a teacher gives to us because
they also have a deadline for all of our performances. It's really challenging
for me as a slow learner, but I have no right to complain and must comply
with it so that I can get the grade that I was pressuring myself for.
4. For items which you answered NO, which of these would you have liked to really
have or experienced in the past? Why do you say so?
- Were you allowed by your teacher to set specific learning goals for yourself?
that I want to experience. I want to know how I am growing and how much
development I have for myself in terms of specific learning goals. But I know
the teacher has nothing to do with it because it's all about myself but still, I
want to experience it.
