Methodology and techniques of teaching are described as the beliefs, values, attitudes, and ideas that guide one's teaching process. That is, the way one feels teaching should be carried out in order to influence students to achieve their goals in life. STATEMENT OF MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY My teaching philosophy is that students learn best through discovery. In discovery, students interact with the world by exploring, manipulating, and performing experiments with materials found in their environment. The teacher just serves as a facilitator while the learner discovers solutions to the problems themselves. VALIDITY OF MY PHILOSOPHY My philosophy is valid and influential based on the following: • It puts students at the center of the teaching process. • Students are always eager to learn as learning is fun and playful. • Students develop creativity, tolerance, and self-confidence during class activities and at home. APPLICATION OF MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY On December 5th, 2022, I was guided by my philosophy through my teaching in grade 5 at Pyon Oo Lwin International School. For instance, when I was teaching the topic sources and rectilinear propagation of light, I divided the class into five groups with each group having 10 students. Each group had different sources of light and pieces of cardboard to experiment that light travels in a straight line. I guided them to identify and group the sources under both natural and artificial sources of light. I also guided them through the rectilinear propagation of light experiment. I then gave them an assignment to look for some sources of light and group them under natural and artificial sources of light at the end of the lesson. At the next lesson, the students discovered that all sources of light (both natural and artificial) travel in a straight line. EFFECTIVENESS OF MY PHILOSOPHY Students were able to identify both natural and artificial sources of light. Students were able to experiment that light travels in a straight line from memory. In conclusion, my teaching philosophy helped students to discover learning experiences themselves and has motivated them to practice the rectilinear propagation of light experiment with different sources of light. LESSON PLAN FOR THE LESSON. TOPIC: Sources and rectilinear propagation of light. CLASS: Grade 5 TIME: 45 minutes.  Objectives: By the end of the lesson, the students will be able to; 1. Define light 2. List and classify sources of light 3. State the principle and describe the experiment of the rectilinear propagation of light R.P.K: Students have learned about light in their previous lesson and they know that it is a form of energy. T.M.L’S: 3 pieces of cardboard, lamp, string, and cardboard illustration (chart) PRESENTATION I introduce the lesson by asking the students why it is that we can see far distances during the daytime than nighttime. I then ask students to write down the definition of light in their own words in their notebooks, while I go around to mark it and assist them to correct their mistakes. I guided them to write the correct definition of light. I also ask them again to list six sources of light and group them under both natural and artificial sources of light. I finally grouped them and assisted each group to perform the rectilinear propagation of light experiment. I gave them an assignment of both the sources and rectilinear propagation experiment at the end of the lesson to submit for marking at the next lesson. CHALLENGES At the next lesson, I found out one-fourth of the class was not able to describe the experiment correctly. Due to the large number of students and insufficient TLMs, others did not get the opportunity to practice during the lessons. To rectify this situation, I contacted the school authorities and requested more TLMs so that each student will have one to practice during science lessons. Again, students were put into groups of ten so that they can concentrate whenever they are doing experiments. INSIGHT. The insight gained from the lesson was that enough TLMs should be provided during the teaching and learning process and students should be put into smaller groups whenever they are performing science experiments.
