Mision	:	The Pangasinan State University, through instruction, research, extension and production, commits to develope highly principled, morally upright, innovative and globally competent individuals capable of meeting the needs of industry, public service and civil society.
History	:	The PSU Bayambang Campus had a very humble beginning. It started as the Bayambang Normal School in 1922. It offered then the secondary normal course which prepared much needed teachers for the country. The school closed in 1935 due to inadequate funds but re-opened in 1948 under a new name – the Pangasinan Normal School (PNS), which offered the two – year teacher education program. It was one among the first normal schools in the Philippines. It was in 1952 that the college offered the four – year degree in teacher education for elementary teachers by virtue of RA No. 975. In 1953, the school with elementary schools in the District of Bautista and the Bayambang National High School were merged to become the Philippine UNESCO Community Training Center. It operated as a school division then. Republic Act No. 5705 converted the school into a chartered institution – the then Central Luzon Teachers College on June 1969. The Pangasinan State University Bayambang Campus is also among the constituent campuses of the University to actively house a Laboratory High School (a school under the College of Teacher Education; serves as training ground for future HS Teachers) which dates its history by its then – name, Central Luzon Teachers College. The Pangasinan State University Laboratory High School offers secondary education in Science Curriculum. The School also offered Basic Education Curriculum until March 2010. Batch 2010 – 2011 Seniors was the first batch of the school in years to graduate from an all – science curriculum enabled sectioning. It also was the first batch to graduate from an all – single section per year system which was decided upon dating back on 2007. The batch makes history in being the first batch to hold graduation rites in the first ever Integrated Closing Exercises which houses both the LHS and KD – ELS (Kindergarten Department – Elementary Laboratory School) in one Closing Ceremony. The Ceremony was successful, uniting the two laboratory schools of the Campus; KD – ELS and LHS.

Every grade have one class room. For nursery and kindergarten, they just have one class and they have the same class room but the time schedule are different.

1.3     Teaching system

Nursery/ Kindergarten	There are 3 Section : Section 1 (Kindergarten 1) Section 2 (Nursery) Section 3 (Kindergarten 2)	08.00-11.00 (Section 1) 11.00-02.00 (Section 2) 02.00-05.00 (Section 3)	Only one teacher who teach both of the three sections.
Elementary School	Grade 1 Grade 2 Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6	07.30 (ceremoni and dancing/exercise) 07.45-10.30 (have a lesson in  their own class) 10.30-11.00 (break time) 11.00-12.00 (have a lesson in  their own class) 12.00-13.00 (lunch time) 13.00-16.30 (have a lesson and go home)	One teacher class for each class and also there are subject teacher for each subject. So the teacher will moving to other class for teach their own subject.

1.4     Materials and other learning sources

Everyday they will use books based on Philippines Curriculum (K12) and their schedule subject. Sometimes to modified the learning process, some teachers use music video from youtube. In terms of their facilities, they have accessible library and laboratories which have complete equipment and resources.

1.5     Measurement and evaluation system

Same with in Indonesia, there are also some evaluation for the pupils to evaluate the learning process. It will be held twice for one semester, such as middle semester and final semester. In elementary school there is also final examination for grade 6. For the preschool, everyday the teacher will collect all the students worksheet and make some portofolio for each students.

There is also evaluation in kindergarten, they used K12 book to evaluate the pupils learning process for that day. The measurement for the kindergarten same as in Indonesia, the teacher look for the development process of the pupils. So for the evaluation, the teacher doesn't give score for the pupils, she just give a big/small star for that day.

1.6     Curriculum

The curriculum that available in this school is K12, it comes from Ministry of Education in Philippines. The subject for grade 1-6 in this elementary school such as Mother Tounge, Filipino, English, Mathematic, Science, Araling Panlipuan, Edukasyon Sa Pagpapakatao, Music, Arts, Physical Education, Health, Edukasyong Pantahanan At Pangkabuhayan, Livehood Education.

The Kindergarten Curriculum Framework (KCF) draws from the goals of the K to 12 Philippine Basic Education Curriculum Framework and adopts the general principles of the National Early Learning Framework (NELF). Kindergarten learners need to have a smooth transition to the content-based curriculum of Grades 1 to 12.

The items in rectangles in Figure 1 show the theoretical bases for teaching-learning in the early years, which are founded on constructivism, integrative, thematic, collaborative, inquiry–based, and reflective teaching in play-based approaches with application of the Developmentally Appropriate Practices (DAP); these support the principles of child growth and development, and the learning program development and assessment.

The circles, on the other hand, signify the system of how Kindergarten Education is to be employed. The interlocked ellipses represent the learning domains that have to be nurtured and equally imparted to holistically develop children. It also forms a flower that portrays the gradual unfolding but steady development, as is expected of every child. The child is seen as being in the process of blossoming – like a flower bud whose development should not be forced lest it lose its chance to fully mature. The domains are enclosed by the Learning Areas children will meet in Grade One onward, for which they are being prepared. The outermost layer indicates the Curricular Themes upon which the Kindergarten Curriculum Guide (KCG) or the Teacher’s Guide is designed. It has been crafted using the thematic or integrative approach to curriculum development in a spiralling learning process. This approach employs integerative and interactive teaching-learning strategies as well as child-centered learning experiences.

Same as in Indonesia, there are also domain development in the preschool curriculum, such as Socio-Emotional Development (Pagpapaunlad ng Sosyo-Emosyunal at Kakayahang Makipamuhay), Values Development (Kagandahang Asal), Physical Health & Motor Development (Kalusugang Pisikal at Pagpapaunlad sa Kakayahang Motor), Aesthetic/Creative Development (Sining), Mathematics, Understanding of the Physical and Natural Environment, Language, Literacy, and Communication. So in the preschool, there will be integrated subject.

This picture show curricular themes for the preschool (kindergarten and nursery), these curricular themes adhere to Bronfenbrenner’s Bio-ecological theory that defines “layers of environment, each having an effect on a child’s holistic development.”.

1.      Myself - concepts and ideas that help the learners understand himself/ herself better so that he/she will develop as an individual

2.      My Family - concepts, ideas, practices that guide the child to be responsible and proud of himself and his family

3.      My School - concepts, ideas, practices, and situations that help the child understand how to be an individual and socialize with other learners, teachers, and other school personnel

4.      My Community- concepts, ideas, practices, situations, and responsibilities that the learner should acquire and understand so that he/she will a become functional and responsive member of the community

5.      More Things Around Me - all other concepts, ideas, practices, situations, and responsibilities beyond themes 1 to 4, but which may be relevant to the community, culture, and interest of the learner

In this preschool, there are blocks of time and lesson plan for the teaching plan. The blocks of time that they used in this school is same as lesson plan that available in Indonesia.

Pedagogical Contents

2.1  Teaching methods

The teaching methods that some teachers use are variative and uniqe. Some of the teachers can call the pupils attention and the pupils very enthusiastic. Teacher gives their best to use the best teaching methods in classroom teaching. Some teachers use technologies such as computer presentations for discussion the lesson,  providing activities, and sometimes the teachers make some quiz using their own computer. They often provide group activities, psychomotor activities, and problem-solving or discovery activities.

2.2  Learning materials and innovation

Based on my observation, the teachers use some materials to improve the student’s skill, for example through art activity, the teacher provide so much colour papper then the pupils have a chance to decorate the papper. So, the teacher doesn’t only use worksheet in the book to evaluate the pupils learning process.

2.3  Sources of learning and technology

They use book also internet access for the sources of learning activities. For example, they will learn about ‘sound of things’, then the teacher engage the pupils to read the book, after that the pupils also learn to hear the sound of things using the computer. Sometimes the teacher have an evaluation to the pupils through quiiz using computer. 

2.4  Authentic assessment

In the end of every subject there are evaluation about the topic. ix ways to use authentic assessment math in the classroom based on my observation are performance assessment, short investigations, open-response questions, self-assessment, multiple-choice questions, and portofolios. And sometimes teacher gave assignment to student for better understood.

Teaching Plan

1.1              Curriculum

For the teaching plan, I follow the curriculum from this country (Philippines). I used K12, this curriculum comes from Ministry of Education in Philippines. There are domains development based on the K12 for the kindergarten class. Based on my major, in Indonesia we call it lesson plan, but in this kindergarten we call it blocks of time. In this kindergarten, both of blocks of time and lesson plan are different.

There are four "phases" during the implementation of the new system. These are:

·    Phase I: Laying the Foundations. Its goal is to finally implement the universal kindergarten, and the "development of the (entire) program".

·    Phase II: Modeling and Migration. Its goal is to promote the enactment of the basic education law, to finally start of the phased implementation of the new curriculum for Grades 1 to 10, and for the modeling of the senior high school.

·    Phase III: Complete Migration. Its goal is to finally implement the Grades 11 and 12 or the senior high school, and to signal the end of migration to the new educational system.

·    Phase IV: Completion of the Reform. Its goal is to complete the implementation of the K–12 education system

In terms of preparing the resources, specifically classrooms, teacher items, textbooks, seats, and water and sanitation improvements, the following table shows the accomplished material from 2010 to 2014 and those planned for 2015.

Observation on Teacher(s)

4.1  Planning for teaching

I observe in preschool class (kindergarten and nursery), grade 2 and grade 6 in PSU Laboraturium Integrated School- Elementary. This is from kindergarten class.

4.2  Preparing lessons and materials

About the lessons and materials, I think they prepare it well. One day before they teaching they check all the materials, so the lessons for that day will be success.

4.3  Teaching in class

Almost all of the teachers call the attention of the pupils, they are not grumpy to the pupils, they just firm to the pupils. Then almost of all the pupils gonna be a participant during the lesson.

4.4  Measurement and Evaluation

Everyday Teacher Gjeuvenchi have a reward for her pupils in kindergarten, if the pupils gonna be a good pupils for that day, they will have a big stamp star but if they are noisy for that day, they just have a small stamp star.

Teaching Practice

5.1  Procedures of teaching

Before the day of the teaching, I make a block of time then discuss it with Teacher Gjevenchi (Teacher Class in Kindergarten). I also make some media for the day of the lesson to inovate the lesson process.

5.2  Time management and organizing activities

I use block of time to manage and organize the activities. I found the different of time management in Indonesia’s kindergarten and in this kindergarten. In Indonesia, we just spent 2 hours in school, but here we take 3 hours.

Same like in Indonesia, in this kindergarten there is also physical excercise to begin the lesson, I introduce the pupils penguin dance. They practice the penguin dance and they look very happy. After that checking attendence, wether check, and daily check. The pupils love to sing, so to attract the pupils, I use some song. Then we discuss the topics for that day. For the pupils activity, I prefer make an art activity, some worksheet and project based learning during one day.

Arrival 07:30-07:40

Meeting Time 1 7:40-8:10

Activity Time 8:10 – 9:10

Meeting Time 2/ Outdoor Time 9:10 – 9:20

Supervised Recess 9:20 – 9:35

Rest Time 9:35 – 9:40

Circle Time 9:40 – 10:05

Story Time 10:05 – 10:25

Goodbye Time 10:25 – 10:30

5.3  Problem-solving

Teacher Gjevenchi still help me to open the lesson for that day, because every morning in the opening lesson they will sing Philippines National Anthem also paminumpa/oath which use Tagalog. Sometimes, Teacher Gjevenchi also help me to communication with the pupils, cause the pupils can’r speak English, whenever they understand what I say.

5.4  Classroom management

After the pupils enter the class, they take their bag in their table. I sing to attract and give instruction to the pupils to take their mattress and sit in front of the class. When they will do their art activity, I give instruction to them to sit in their chair. When the teachers come to noisy, then I will sing a song.
