LEARNING EXPERIENCE I
The School for the Learners
Learning Experience 1 opens an interesting door for you to enter and gaze at the bigger
world for the learners, the school! As the teacher converts the classroom to become an
environment for active learning for his/her class, the school head, together with all other
personnel, organizes the school to provide other program facilities and resources that will
support the development of the learners. This is what you will aim at doing in this episode i.e
discover these school program resources for supporting learners’ developmental need.

1.1 EXPOSURE
SKETCHING THE MAP OF A SCHOOL SHOWING ITS STRUCTURE

An initial activity for FS students is to become more or less familiar with school they are
assigned to. Using your own experience, try to remember the different buildings or structures
inside the school perimeter. Try to approximate the shape of the school area in your writing pad.
It may not be a perfect rectangle but an irregular one. Situate each structure you locate inside
the school perimeter using shapes and number each one for identification in your aerial map.
Note that a building is single detached, i.e. not connected to another structure and which may
contain more than one room. Locate the entrance of the school in your map. (See the sample
map.)

1.2 PARTICIPATION
GETTING ACQUIANTED WITH THE FACILITIES AND RESOURCES OF THE SCHOOL

This time try to determine what is/are found inside each building. List them according to
how you have numbered them in your map and enumerate the specific facilities and
resources found in each building. (You may use your past experience or you may also
conduct an interview with your former teacher) Just make sure that the school you have
drawn on 1.1 Exposure is same with the school you will be using in 1.2 Participation.

1.3 IDENTIFICATION
DETERMINING THE PURPOSE OF THE SIOCIAL FCAILITIES AND RESOURCES FOR
LEARNER DEVELOPMENT

Below is the list of the possible facilities in a school. Check those which are available in
your school. With the resources that you have found, indicate which domain(s) is/are being
developed and provided for by each one. Indicate the program(s) the school carries out
under the three developmental domains. You may want to consult the head of the school
and the teachers in charge of the program.

1.4 INTERNALIZATION
IDENTIFYING CHALLENGES OF THE SCHOOL IN PROVIDING MORE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR DEVELOPMENT

● You have identified the facilities and resources of your school. What other facilities
and resources do you think are needed for other development programs?
As I identified the facilities and resources of my previous school, I have found
that there are facilities that still need to be added and developed. If this would be
addressed, it would make learning more comfortable and effective for students. First
and foremost, is to add more classrooms so that multiple grade levels will not share
the same space since this is what actually happens in this school due to the lack
classroom. Secondly, school’s hand washing station has to be added, it should be
spacious and has an adequate water supply to avoid and reduce the spread of
infectious diseases. Next to be added is an Indoor Multipurpose hall considering
that it is an ideal place for productive brainstorming sessions. It will allow the
students and teachers to conduct school activities in the benefit of the learners.
Furthermore, an ICT laboratory should be developed, as it is one of the most
important learning platforms for students in the twenty-first century. While the school
clinic is the second facility to be developed; I propose that this should be expanded,
with adequate emergency medical supplies given and monitored. Last facility to be

 Field Study 1 – Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment

developed is the library; it should more spacious, has a better ventilation and air
quality so that students will find learning to be more relaxed and dynamic.

● What aspects or development domains can you suggest as needing attention by the
school? What programs can be suggested?

1.5 DISSEMINATION
PREPARING AN IDEAL PROFILE OF A SCHOOL WHICH CAN MEET THE PHYSICAL,
SOCIAL, EMOPIONAL, AND INTELLECTUAL NEEDS OF LEARNERS

The school Head in your exit meeting would like to get some suggestion on how they can
improve or enrich the programs they are carrying out for the learners in their school. Prepare a
simple development plan which will show what structures or facilities your dream school must
have and the programs which can be offered. Use the information you have gathered earlier
and your observations of other schools as input to your plan.
