Learner’s Physical Aspect: Health
The youngster came into the world in robust health and sailed through
childhood without encountering any health issues or complications. Despite
being a picture of well-being, a distinct quirk surfaced in his eating habits- a
discerning pickiness that led him to reject all vegetables except for the
humble squash. Throughout his formative years, maternal care enveloped
him, as his father’s untimely demise at the age of 10 left avoid. Remarkably,
he embarked on the journey of walking and talking at the tender age of one.
Learner’s Social Aspect:
Exhibiting a friendly demeanor, he enjoys engaging in playtime with both
classmates and neighbors every day after school. While granted the freedom
to play outdoors, there’s a stipulation in place- he must warp up his outdoor
activities by 7pm. This curfew is a steadfast rule set by his mother,
emphasizing the importance of returning home before the clock strikes 7pm.
Emotional-Moral
In her desire for the best for her child, Sean’s mother anticipates his
academic excellence as an achiever. She places as expectation on him to be
accountable for his own decisions. Maintaining open communication, she
ensures that Sean’s needs, particularly love and care, are consistently met.
Acting as a source of motivation, she encourages him to not overly burden
himself with unmet goals. Reassuringly, she expresses her unwavering
support, emphasizing that she will stand by his side to assist him through any
challenges that may arise.
How do you discipline your children?
The household is characterized by a lack of stringent rules, with the sole
directive for Sean being to return home by 7pm, he is not permitted to linger
outside beyond this time. Sean’s mother emphasizes that this rule serves as
a reminder of the hour, especially when he engages in outdoor play with his
friends. In instances of disobedience, Sean’s mother opts for a simple
scolding to address the breach of this particular role.
Learner’s Cognitive Aspect:
Sean has a deep passion for basketball and singing, actively participating
in school singing competitions. Despite being an average student, he easily
manages to grasp his lessons. His mother encourages him by offering
rewards for his accomplishments and emphasizes the importance of reading
lessons and completing homework before engaging in outdoor activities.

company. While generally friendly, he has a tendency to easily lose his

consistently offering support and assistance to his friends whenever
they need it. Growing up with only his mother, he has developed a
strong sense of independence and self-reliance

 Findings
- The learner is being supported by her mom on what he wants to do and
he wants to become in life. The learner is motivated to more cause by
the warm support from the people around him.

Conclusions
- For me, in order to have a great aspect whether it is physically,
emotionally, morally and even in cognitive aspects the learners must
have a good background and has well enough support and most
importantly motivation coming from the families.

Recommendations
- Indeed, all members of the family must be supported enough to their
child for them to feel motivated and to become more achieve in life.
They must create a great connection or bond with their child to make
them more open all the time that they had a problem, and also
guidance. In this case, the child won’t hesitate to seek for their
supervision.

ANALYZE:
Your findings and recommendations in the Learner Development Profile
will help you answer the questions.

1. From your home visit and interview, what do you think is the style of
parenting experienced by the learner? Explain your answer.

Based on information obtained through interviews with the mother

and my home visit, it is evident that the parent adopts an authoritative
parenting style. The mother establishes clear expectations for her child but
refrains from applying excessive pressure or constant nagging to enforce
compliance. Instead, she allows her child the space to excel
independently. This approach is visibly reflected in the child’s demeanor,
as he appears content, respectful, and self-reliant. Despite being raised by
single parent, he has developed strong social competence and a high
level of independence.

2. Relating your data with what you learned from child development,
what family factors do you think contribute to the development and
over-all adjustment of the learner in school?
 The primary driver shaping his academic progress is the way his
mother nurtured him as a learner. His mother consistently provides
unwavering support and effectively inspires him. Even when faced with
her son’s errors, she communicates constructive advice with a positive
outlook. Sean maintains a friendly and respectful demeanor with both his
teachers and peers. Additionally, his mother’s reminders about his
responsibilities as a student contribute to Sean’s disciplined approach to
his tasks and roles in his academic journey.

3. Does the communication between the home-school have an effect on

the learner? If yes, what are these effects?

The interaction between the home and school significantly

influences the learners. When there is an ongoing, positive dialogue
between the home and the school, it creates a harmonious relationship. In
such a scenario, the child perceives the school as an extension of their
home, a welcoming and secure environment where they are accepted. By
understanding how the home environment nurtures the child, the school
can identify and address the child’s needs appropriately. This reciprocal
understanding leads to continuous support from the home to the school,
fostering the learner’s development and success in their educational
journey.

REFLECT:
1. Reflect on your own development as a child. What type of parenting did
you experience? How did it affect you?

As child, I experience authoritarian type of parent. They are loving and

caring parent and very supported in all aspects, but they expect me to be
good on what I was doing especially in my study. They also set some rules
that I must need to follow and if I didn’t obey the rule, there are some
consequences that I need to face.

2. As a future teacher, how would you establish good home-school

collaboration? How can you work well with the parents? How can you
help them? How can they help you?

As a future teacher, I would create good home-school collaboration by

having a good communication with the parents or guardian of my learners.
Indeed, having a good communication with the both parties, they will able to
monitor every progress of the learning and be able to determine the aspect to
consider for the betterment of the learners.

LEARNING ARTIFACTS
My Personal Illustration of an Effective School Environment

 Make an artistic, colorful, and creative visual expression of your insights or

feelings about the influence of the home and school and community to the
learner.
 Then, write a few statements on the space below about your visual art.

The development and success of learners are significantly shaped by

the influence of their family, school, and community. Within the home
environment, the family plays a crucial role as the child’s initial educators,
guiding their growth and imparting essential knowledge, including aspects
relevant to home and school life, as well as instilling proper manners. The
collaborative effort between parents and children in learning fosters a
strong bond and provides substantial love and support, contributing
significantly to the overall development of the child.
 Make a reflection acrostic about the home, school and community link.
