Teaching
System
Full day school system has already
implemented in University Science High School which start from 7.30 a.m to
5.00 p.m every Monday to Friday which is as the workdays of the school. The
total number of school days for the S.Y. 2018 – 2019 is 201. The allowed
number of absences given by DepEd is 20% of it.
Every
teacher has their own responsibility for their subject as well as their
teaching time in the classroom which is 1 hour or 60 minutes per subject.
Moreover, the break time for both the teachers and students starts from 12.00
p.m to 13.00 p.m and then continue to the regular teaching and learning
process until the last subject which is at 5.00 p.m.
The
adoption of a student-centered approach is strongly emphasized. Teacher no
longer explain all the learning materials, but students are expected to form
their own knowledge or find that knowledge. The method applied in the school
is Active Learning. Active Learning method is intended to optimize and
maximize the use of all the potential possessed by students, which ultimately
students can achieve satisfactory learning outcomes according to their
personal characteristics. Active Learning method is also intended to keep the
attention of students during the learning process to stay awake and focused
on the lesson.
Furthermore,
teacher use a variety of teaching techniques to create an exciting and
enjoyable learning environment for students. Some components of learning,
such as opening and closing, explaining, basic and advanced questions, and
reinforcement, as well as follow-up activity are also included in the
implementation of lessons at training schools in this school. In terms of
assessment, the teacher gives post-test after the taught material is
finished. To provoke student participation, the author uses reinforcement in
the form of positive reinforcement. In this case, students will be awarded a
bonus of value if students can answer and participate actively in the class.
