Name of the school observed Talipan National High School
Location of the school Brgy Talipan Pagbilao, Quezon
Date to visit September 25, 2021
I discovered that in every classroom, it is critical to consider how to make it favorable to learning
so that students participate actively in class discussions because they are at ease.
Based on my observations, I believe that excellent classroom engagement is critical. Teachers
must know how to pique their students' interest so that they will pay attention, and students must
take responsibility so that they may have a seamless discussion, as well as an enjoyable and
interesting learning and teaching experience.
ANALYZE
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the students
going to school? What are your conclusions?
- The state of each facility and the school environment had a significant impact on the students'
ability to learn. Students will be unable to concentrate in class if their educational environment does
not accommodate their learning adaptability. As a result, we must consider the optimal setting for
pupils when educating them.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/how does this
relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
- It has been suggested that a child's surroundings have a significant impact on his growth. When it
comes to this stage, it is the most significant point at which the child's experiences can become a
source of boredom in his life. What he encounters in his environment may be managed within his
existence.
REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?
-Yes. The school has excellent facilities, and even if it did not, I would not reconsider my decision
because students in public schools require greater attention to direct their educational
experiences. I can understand how difficult it is for kids to study in that setting, yet their
determination to learn has piqued my interest.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
- A school campus that is favorable to learning must include all the necessary, good, and
functional amenities. There must also be minimal pollution, as well as clean and well-organized
amenities that can help pupils learn more effectively without being hampered by their
surroundings.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
- A classroom that is conducive to learning must be clean, pollution-free, well-ventilated, and
equipped. Air conditioning, a microphone with bass, and a comfort room were among the
amenities. The floor must be tiled as well.
4. In the future, how can you accomplish you answer in number 3?
- As a future teacher, I may achieve my third goal by requesting financial assistance from our
legislators. I can also avoid corruption in the kids' funding because the students' primary
motivation for attending school is to study, not to be bribed by any financial institution.
5. Write your additional learnings and insight here
- It is possible to be motivated to learn. As a result, the school campus environment plays a vital
role in inspiring kids to learn. How could any student concentrate on their studies if their rooms
are hot and stuffy? The learner's surroundings, in turn, can affect the learner's learning progress,
in my opinion.
Activity 1.2 observing bulletin board displays
OBSERVE
As you look around and examine board displays use the observation guide and forms provided
for you to document your observations.
Read the following carefully before you observe
1. Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board displays do you see?
2. Where are the displays board found? Are they in places where target viewers can see them?
3. What are the displays about? What key messages do they convey? What images and colors do
you see? How are the pieces of information and images arranged?
4. What materials were used in making displays? Are borders used?
5. Do you notice some errors? Misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies and the like)
6. Are the messages clear and easily understood?
7. Think about what you got your attention. Why did it get your attention?
8. Take a photo of displays board (if allowed).
