As an educator, one of the best ways to create learning experiences that are meaningful is to make
the content as meaningful as possible. Students should be given chances to connect or relate their
classroom activities to real-life scenarios and situations. As a teacher, student-centeredness
concept should always be at the top. Teachers should always use a student-centered approach.
When students feel that they are into the situations or they could relate to the scenarios, they will
really find it more practical for their future application.
Q2. How does he encourage critical thinking, problem solving, and performance skills?
Allowing students to undergo a debate wherein they will be able to speak their
argumentative speech that contains claims supported with evidences is one way of encouraging
the learners to develop their logical and analytical skills. They will be able to voice out their
solutions to issues reflected on the topic. In this manner, learners are already being introduced and
exposed to critical thinking and problem-solving. Aside from that, there is also one excellent
method for exercising critical thinking which is role-playing wherein it involves inhabiting another
persona and its characteristics. Being someone else calls upon stretching both analytical and
creative mind.
Q3. In terms of concepts introduced in this section, what qualities identify Mark as an intentional
teacher?
The Intentional Teacher are the so called decision makers inside the classroom. Teachers are not
just ought to be the facilitators or assessors in the classroom, but they serve as coaches and program
leaders. These can be functional to fuel conversations about child-and adult-guided experiences
and to build knowledge and skills around intentional decision making. In this manner, we can say
that productive play and learning are the result of teacher intentionality.
II. WHAT IS THE ROLE OF RESEARCH IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY?
Question 1: How does Mark evaluate the effects of his instructional choices on his students?
Basically, teachers use different assessments to measure or test the effects of chosen instructions. In
today’s field of teaching, teachers are encouraged to somehow use differentiated instructions
considering the fact that our class is composed of diverse learners. Formative and Summative
assessments are being given to our learners in order to measure whether our learners really have
acquired or achieved our lesson objectives. Thus, there are actually various types of evaluation that we
can use in determining the effects of teacher’s instructions.
Question 2: What connections are there between a reflective practitioner and intentional teacher?
Possible Response:
Reflective practitioner and intentional teacher can have correlations in some aspects. Reflective
practitioner engaged more on the enhancement of the professional person’s ability in which learning
by doing and developing the ability for continued learned throughout the professional’s career. The
approach entails active coaching by a master teacher, including giving students practice facing real
problems, testing solutions, making mistakes, seeking help, and refining approaches. Extensive
dialogues between teachers and students draws how reflection-in-action works, what encourages it, and
behavior or attitudes that can prevent the development of reflectiveness. On the other hand, Intentional
teacher probably is anchored on how the teacher connect his or her instruction to the students not just
out objectively, but as well as in subjective manner. Through reflection, a teacher will be able to tap
his intention to the students in a way the lesson or the instruction will be applicable throughout the
learners’ life.
Question 3: From Mark with Lea, create a list of research-based and common sense teaching
strategies that an intentional teacher might use.
Possible Response:
It is believed that Intentional teaching does not happen by chance. Teachers make use of the following
strategies to intentionally achieve a both child-guided, and adult-guided experiences. These are some
of the following strategies that an Intentional teacher incorporates in his teaching career.

Question 2: How does Mark use basic educational psychology research to assess her student’s writing
performance?
Basic educational psychology research is indeed very essential in assessing the students’ performance in
writing. Through the following three research methods—correlational, experimental, and descriptive, the
learners’ performance in writing was properly observed, evaluated and assessed. Through giving them
salient assessment sheets, a data was being acquired and it went through a series of procedural assessment
to basically improve their writing skills. Students’ weaknesses in writing was first identified. Then, a sort
of evaluative assessment was applied to further determine the validity of the results. An enhancement
writing activities were then imposed as their assessment. Research is indeed a very important tool to make
interventions on students’ performaces.
