The conceptual Approach

In this approach, subject matter is taught to enable pupils to develop concepts. A concept is one's mental picture of anything an idea, an object or procedure, it will vary from one person to another, depending on previous experiences. Concepts grow and change with experience. One does not learn another person's concept. A pupil therefore develops his own from subject matter he studies.
The role of the teacher is to classify concepts so that each pupil's understanding of the concepts to be studied.

Some expected sequence of development in both simple and integrated process

Description or Communication

Describing or communicating is the process of telling what was percieved. it requires precise verbal and written communication. The children should be taught enough descriptive vocabulary to enable them to give accurate description of colors, shapes, sizes, weights, volumes, etc.

Observation

Observing is the process of noting the characteristics of an object or objects. It involves sensory perceptions such as task, hearing, smell, and touch. Lessons should atart from simple observations to more complicated empirical observations.

Classification

Classifying is the process of sorting and arranging objects into meaningful groups. The aim of providing experiences in classification is to develop the skills in showing relationships, identifications, and noting similarities and differences.

The Educational objective and the aim of lesson Plan

The educational objective and the aim of the lesson plan. If the educational objective is to train citizens for a democratic way of life, the traditional question-and-answer method would be clearly out of place when the objective is to demonstrate a dictatorship.
If the aim of the lesson is to make certain responses automatic, the drill method would be the most appropriate. If the teacher wants to arouse certain feelings and atittudes, the appreciation lesson would be the most suitable. If training in logical thinking is what the teacher desires, then the problem method should perhaps be used.

Alexander the Great

The first Western attempt to conquer Asia was made by Alexander of Macedon, whom Western writers call the "Great" because of his superp martial exploits.
Alexander the Great ( 356-323 B.C). Acclaimed in song and story, Alexander the Great was truly one of the world's greatest military genuises. born in the Pella, Macedonia's capital ( now in Yugoslavia), in 356 B.C he was the son of King Philip II, who was generally known as Philip of Macedon.
His father gave him an excellent education to train him for leadership. Alexander was brilliant in both academic and military studies. His best teacher was the greek Philosopher Aristotle who tought him the love of Greek culture. His favorite book was Homer's Iliad, which he carried in all his military campaig's and read every night before going to sleep.
Handsome, dynamic, strong, and intelligent, Alexander was Macedonia's best warrior. At the age of 16, while his father away fighting in Byzantium, he crushed an uprising in thrace. Two years later, he helped his father defeat the Greeks.

Learning Communities

Learning Communities

Learning communities is a group of people who share common values and beliefs, are actively engage in learning together from each other. It is the act of every member of the state in the society which deals the development of characteristics and values in the social world. It is a state of a population, health, family, education that one community has. It is a way in which you are able to know and deal with your subordinates or communities. It is a place of learning like school, library, office, home, barangay and any place where there is learning occur.

Psychologist such as Me Millan and Chavis in 1986 there are factors defined a sense of community. These are the following:
Membership: participants of learning community must feel some sense of loyalty and beyond to the group to keep working and helping each other.
Influence: the things that the participants in must affect what happened in the community, that means an active and not just a reactive performance. Fulfillment of individual needs: must give the chance to the participants to meet particular needs by expressing personal opinions. Shared events and emotional connection: asking for help or specific information and share stories of events with particular issue emotional experiences.

Barbara Leigh in Evergreen State College approach fundamentally restructures the curriculum, and the time and space of students. Many community models intentionally link together courses or coursework to provide greater curricular coherence, more opportunities for active learning and interaction between students and faculty. Intersection of common goals for example, an intellectual endeavor that is creative in nature. Sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. Teams that work collaratively can obtain greater resources, recognition and reward when facing competition for finite resources. She form an experts frequently describe fixed basic nonresidential learning community models. Namely: linked cour4ses students take two connected courses, usually one disciplinary course such as history or biology and one skills course such as writing, speech, or information literacy. Learning clusters: students take three or more connected courses, usually with a common interdisciplinary theme writing them. Freshmen interest group: similar to a learning cluster, but with an additional seminar course taught by a Master learning, a faculty member who enrolls in the other courses and takes them alongside the students. The master learner’s course draws connections between the courses. Coordinated studies: this model blurs the lines between individual courses. The Learning community functions as a siege, giant course that the students and faculty members work on full-time for an entire semester or academic year..

State that the commodore of co-enrollment may help students stay in school longer, but the learning communities can offer more curricular coherence to living in a complex, messy diverse world. One of the example of learning community is online learning community have categories: e-learning communities (groups interact and connect solely via technology) and blended learning communities (group utilize face-to-face meetings). Based on Riel and Pollin in 2004, international online learning communities may be categorize as knowledge-based, practice based, and tools in many categories: Synchronous (such as instant massaging asynchronous (such as message bonds), content management (such as Mole and Lectures core). The other example is special programmed in TESDA which it is held in every Barangay accredited by ALTS..

Therefore Learning Communities is very important in our daily life existence, you can fine this anywhere as long as there is an interaction between individuals..
