La Union School of Arts and Trades (located in San Fernando, La Union; founded in 1907);
Southern Ilocos Polytechnic State College (composed of Southern LA Union National High School in Agoo, Sto. Tomas College of Fisheries, and Rosario National Agricultural School; established on July 28, 1977);
Community College of La Union (located in San Fernando; founded in 1968); and
Sapilang Elementary School (located in Barangay Sapilang, Bacnotan, La Union; founded in June 1969)
The late Dr. Bienvenido P. Agpaoa became the first University President until October 1988. He was succeeded in February 1989 by Dr. Manuel T. Corpus, former president of the Cagayan State University.

Dr. Jaime I. Manuel, Jr. Is currently the DMMMSU President.

At present, the University is sprawled on a 1,120 hectares, cozily splintered in its three major campuses: North La Union Campus (Bacnotan and Balaoan towns), Mid La Union Campus (San Fernando) and the South La Union Campus (Agoo, Sto. Tomas, and Rosario towns).

2.      Academic Support System

Regarding the academic support system, each campus in the DMMMSU has a Chancellor as Chief under them consisting of Deans, Directors, and Administrative Staff who support to run of the Campus operations.

At DMMMSU-MLUC, Dr. Epuardo C. Corpuz as changcellor and at the College of Education (CE), Dr. Cedric Anthony E. Ochoco as Dean, Dr. Alfonso S. Lopez as Chairperson of the Department of Basic Education, and Dr. Sharlane Gay Elaine V. Fabrigas as Chairpeson of the Laboratory Elementary School (LES).

Teaching System

Laboratory High School MLUC-DMMMSU had applied K-12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

K to 12 Curriculum an approach to education focusing on the needs of the learner. Learner-centered learning is focused on the learner’s needs, abilities, interests, learning styles with the teacher as a facilitator of learning. This classroom teaching method acknowledges learners’ voices as central to the learning experience.
Some of the strategies used in High School MLUC-DMMMSU (Grade 7) based on my observe such as  :
        Discussion
        Quiz
        Study
        Games

From my observation, in High School MLUC-DMMMSU using learning source accordance with the curriculum, text book so the teacher will made lesson plan for their subject accordance to the students ability and school condition according to subjects every teacher have different method of teaching. And for the materials usually teacher will look for information relating to teaching materials with the real life.
In addition, this school also has several teaching materials / media, such as TV, board, chalk, fan, eraser, speaker, toilet in each class, mineral water and others.  With these materials and facilities, the learners can feel comfortable in learning and can make it easier for students to understand.

The teacher usually gives assignments or homework after class or in the last 10 minutes in each subject.
Because the High School MLUC-DMMMSU adapt to K-12 Curriculum so, Under D.O. No. 8, s.2015 effective school year 2015-2016. The new k to 12 grading system used fewer components and launched a new conversion table. Public schools from kindergarten to senior high school should use it. In the same way, it asks non-DepEd schools to apply the changes, too.

Under this order, the results of the components of the summative assessment such as Written Work, Performance Tasks, and Quarterly Assessment will form the bases for the grade computation.
   New Grading Components for Grades 1-10

1. Written Work (WW) – makes sure students can express skills and contents in written form.
2. Performance Task (PT) – lets learners show what they know and can do in diverse ways.
3. Quarterly Assessment (QA) – measures student learning at the end of the quarter.

The MLUC-DMMMSU Laboratory (Primary and Secondary Schools) of the College of Education uses K to 12 law of Philippines. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

I teach grade 7 in Mathematics. I have to teach 1 subject every day (60 minutes / session). Before I started teaching, I was given a schedule for the topic I would teach. My Cooperating Teacher guides me how to make Detailed Learning Plans and I have to make lesson plans every day.
And every morning I show my lesson plans to my Cooperating Teacher and she will give some corrections such as wrong sentences in the lesson plan and wrong steps that I make.

4.      Pedagogic Content
    a.       Teaching methods of the teacher that you observed.

Based on my observations in the first week, I observed my Cooperating Teacher Ma’am Therese Anne Octubre Imbat and Ma’am Myrafe B. Rivera. Ma’am Therese teaches ESP subjects and Ma’am Myrafe B. Rivera teaches Mathematics.

Before starting the class, the teacher leads to pray, then the teacher always checks the student’s presence. After that the teacher usually starts the lesson by asking questions and conducting discussions. Then the teacher gives material using the video clips, simulation or provides real examples so that it is easily understood by students and with other methods. After that, after the material is submitted, the teacher gives an evaluation or assignment. And besides that the teacher also gives homework. Because using the K-12 Curriculum the teaching method is student-centered.

b.      Their learning materials & innovation

In this school teacher always use materials that have an connection with their topic some of them using projector to show video clips or matery and some of them using an inovatif material like flashcard to increase student’s spirit and activity, and they also use the board.

c.       Source of learning & technology used by the Teacher

Students get their own textbooks from school, and the teacher uses the book as a source, but in addition to the textbook, teachers also usually use concrete examples and discuss topics that will be discussed that day. So students are easy to understand and there is more interaction.

For assesment, the teacher has many authentic assessments, such as the teacher always giving questions in the middle of the material to see the concentration of students, besides the teacher also gives assignments after the delivery of the material and even the teacher also gives homework to the students.

5.      Teaching Plan
      a.       Curriculum

The MLUC-DMMMSU Laboratory (High School) of the Mathematics Education uses K to 12 law of Philippines. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School [SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

b.      Teaching plan relate your major

I teach grade 3 in ESP and Mapeh subjects. I have to teach 1 subject every day (60 minutes / day and 30 minutes / session). Before I started teaching, I was given a schedule for the topic I would teach. My Cooperating Teacher guides me how to make detailed Learning Plans and I have to make lesson plans every day.
  And every morning before I start practice teaching, I always show my lesson plans to my Cooperating Teacher and she will give some corrections such as wrong sentences in the lesson plan and wrong steps that I make.

6.      Teaching Practice
      a.       Procedures of teaching

I teach in grade 7 and Mathematics Education.  To start the class I asked who would lead the prayer, after that I checked attendance by calling out the names of the students one by one.  Then before entering into the topic of the lesson I give motivation first like playing the video clips.  After that I gave a few questions to students, such as what the title of the video clip was and about what the value of life was from the video.  I use video clips that are relevant to the topic that I will discuss.
After that I started to discuss the topic.  And explain the material in accordance with the leson plan.  Then I give another question as a repetition of the topic I discussed.  And after that in the last 15 minutes I gave an assignment for evaluation.

b.      Time management & organizing activity

For time management and organizing activities I can handle them according to the lesson plan. But sometimes it is more than the scheduled class time because students have not finished in doing the assignment. And to overcome that, I always remind students of the remaining class time and encourage students to make it fast.

c.       Problem Solving

There are some problems that I get during practice. One of them is a number of students who are less enthusiastic about the lesson and besides that some students also ask in Tagalog. And to overcome this problem, I try to attract more attention of students and come to students who lack concentration. And for the second problem I usually ask for help from other students who are fluent in English to translate the intentions of students who ask in Tagalog. In addition, I also learned a little Tagalog language from students and my Cooperating Teacher.

For class management, I always pay attention to students who have difficulty doing their assignments one by one and monitor students during class and I always go around to check their assignments.

7.      Summary & Suggestion
a.       Purpose of practicum

The purpose of this practicum is that I gain a lot of new experience, new knowledge and develop skills in teaching. Then it can also be able to compare between teaching methods in Indonesia with those in the Philippines. In addition, with this practicum I can also experience cultural exchange, and improve my English skills.

b.      Procedures of practicum

1. The first week is observation of the school profile, student characteristics, teaching methods used by the teacher, classroom atmosphere, time management, and pedagogical content.
2. The second week is the assistant teacher where I help my Cooperating Teacher if she needs help.
3. My cooperating teacher help me to make a lesson plan.
4. On the third week I started teaching practice according to the lesson plan was I made.
5. And the last week is demonstration teaching (final demo) and Evaluation by the principal and Cooperating Teacher about my teaching practice.

c.       Outcomes of practicum

The outcomes of this practicum is that I got a lot of new things from this program. I can improve my English better than before. I also found new methods in teaching, how to manage classes, and know the characteristics of students. Besides that I also feel more confident and more communicative in teaching.

The challenge in this practice is language. Maybe because I teach in the lower class, some English students are not fluent so they are less active in asking questions and use the Filipino language more often. But I tried to overcome it by more actively coming to his chair, and not forgetting to use body language. And because my English is also not fluent, with this program we learn together.

I am very happy and grateful to be able to join this program because with this program I can get new things that are useful for my life in the future. With this program I met good people, gained new knowledge in teaching, new knowledge in Tagalog and Ilokano, although only a little but I was very happy. In addition, I also had the opportunity to introduce my country and exchange cultures, and many other impressions. I just want to say thank you to God, then my parents, and also the International office of UM PAREPARE, DMMMSU, and SEAMEO for giving me this opportunity.

d.      Suggestion for future improvment

Overall, this program is very good and very useful.  There is not much advice from me, maybe just in my opinion a month is not enough to get a lot of experience in teaching practice.  So maybe it can take longer than a month to take part in this program in the future in order to get more experience and new knowledge.  But this is only a suggestion, everything in this program is very good.

Okay, maybe enough fot my self report, I hope you enjoyed to read
