In-service training at Besong Saddle ES

THE teacher-in-charge organized an InService Training on October 25 at Besong Saddle Elementary School that is focused on Board Games Elementary and Test Item Analysis.

The In-service Training is a whole day seminar that aims to train every teacher on how to integrate board games to their mathematics subject and coach their learners to play board games, help teachers find out the competencies they need to plan for intervention after the examination has conducted and develop harmonious collaboration among fellow teachers.

The INSET Seminar started with a motivating opening program and ends with a challenging closing program. It has the following topics in the morning: The Difference between Damath and Sci-Damath, Board Game Format (Signs and Numbering), Chip Placement and Grade Involved, Rules on Playing Damath and Sci-Damath, Scoring Board Game, Practicum on Damath and Sci-Damath and Integrating Board Games to Mathematics Subject. During the afternoon, the topics include: What is Item Analysis?, Conducting Item Analysis, Interpreting the result of the Item Analysis, Checking Competencies Involved, and Planning for Interventions.

The In-Service Training participants enjoyed every part of the Seminar as they learn how to integrate and play the board games on Whole Damath, Water-Patrol Sci-Damath, Power Patrol Sci-damath and Fraction Damath. The Seminar on Test Item Analysis also takes a load off their shoulder as they learn from one another their strategies for conducting it.

“The seminar is entertaining and the opportunity to play the competition our learners participate in challenged us teacher to learn and teach them properly as we coach them,” said Mrs. Erlinda L. Tadao, faculty president. “Also, coming up with an intervention with fellow teachers makes activities easier,” she added.
