1. Look at the walls of the classroom. What are posted on the walls? What heroes, religious
figures, lessons, visual aids, announcements, do you see posted?
2. Examine how the pieces of furniture are arranged. Where is the teacher’s table located?
How are the tables and chairs/ desks arranged? Classroom Facilities
3. What learning materials/equipment are present?
4. Observe the students. How many are occupying one room?
5. Is the room well-lit and well-ventilated?
 When you enter the room the first thing that you notice is the classroom is not
crowded with things, organized and not exaggerated in design. The wall is not crowded with
posters, in the front there is a long green board over it there is a poster of Lupang hinira ng,
prayer, Panatang Makabayan and things that are needed in the opening ceremony of the class. It
is really good that it was posted there so that the students can easily notice it and be their guide
on the first day of class. Beside the board there are character and behavior guides posted together
in the mirror for the student so that they can always prepare themselves and be look presentable
in the class. In the back part of the classroom there is also a big world map and two bulletin
boards. Over these two, the picture of the president of the Philippines starts from Emillio
Aguinaldo to the present president which is Rodrigo Duterte. On the side of the classroom there
are posted rules and regulations and some quotes to motivate the student in their learning. There
are two teacher tables in the front and back, in the front it is just a simple and small table with a
chair and in the back is the actual table of the teacher, all the things and files of the teacher were
there. The cabinets, broom box, garbage can and the DIY fire extinguisher are at the back of the
classroom. The furniture is organized and it is on the side so that it will not cause an accident
for the students. The chairs of the student are filled by 5, 5 in the left and 5 to the right so that
there is a space in the middle to be the passageway of the student. I think the room can
accommodate 30 to 40 students, I think that the average capacity that can accommodate the
room and if the student is more than that it will be crowded and the student will not be
comfortable. The room is well-lit and well-ventilated. It has a right number of lights to make the
room be bright and it has a 4 big window that also can give light to the student and make the air
go in and out the room. The room is so good, cozy and spacious that can make students able to
engage and be comfortable in learning. The teacher also did a great job in her classroom she
maintains it clean and safe for the students.

An Observation Guide for the CLASSROOM VISIT

Be guided by these tasks as you do your observation. Then accomplish the matrix to record your
data.

CLASSROOM FACILITIES MATRIX

Classroom Description
Facilities (Location, number, arrangement, condition)
1.Wall Displays
I observe that all parts of the classroom have wall displays. In the front the
opening ceremony poster is posted, like the prayer, national anthem,
panatang makabayan and the vision mission of the school. In the side wall
are some quotes and motivation was posted and also there are some rules
and regulations of the classroom. In the back there is a big world map and a
bulletin board, it’s not done yet but I think it will be really good when they
post the activities of the class. In the upper part of the back wall has
pictures of the presidents of the Philippines from Aguinaldo to Duterte. The
wall displays are organized, it is not crowded and not exaggerated, the
teacher does a great job making the classroom well organized.

2.Teacher’s Table
In the classroom there are two teacher tables, one in the front that can be used
by the teacher while she is discussing. The table is just small, it used to have
a place where the teacher put her learning materials like books, visual aid and
her bag. The table in the back of the classroom is the main teacher table
because it's big and has drawers to put more objects and things of the teacher.
 I think the teacher uses it when she makes her lesson plan, grades of students
and other work she needs to do. The teacher table is so organized and neat.

3.Learners’ Desks
The learners chair is a form armchair where the student chair and the desk
are as one. In this kind of chair, they can minimize the space and the room
can be more spacious. The number of chairs of the student is 40 to 50. The
chair is made of wood and painted in black to make it more presentable.
The condition of it is used but still good, even though this chair is already
used many times it is still in good condition and safe for the learners to use.

4.Black Board
The board that they are using is so long, I think it is newly painted because
there is no tape in the board and it is so clean. It is also in a good conditio n,
there is no any crack or broken part in the board. It was so neat, presentable
and simple, it was really good that the board didn’t have plenty of decoration
that can make the board too messy.

5.Learning
Materials/Visual The learning materials/Visual Aids that the teacher uses are made of manila
Aids paper and she writes it by herself. I see the effort that she puts into making
those visual aids. The number of the Visual aid of the teacher is so many to
count because every lesson she prepares a visual aid for her student. She put
the compilation of her visual aid in her cabinet so that she can keep it more
nicely, avoid being wreck because the paper is easy to tear and she keep it
to able to use it again for another year.

Name of School Observed: Cahayag Elementary School

Location of the School: Cahayag Tubigan Bohol

Cahayag Elementary School is so amusing, from the front gate of the school I can see
the colorful environment and the effort of the school staff and management is so amazing. The
location of the school is so peaceful and greenery, I enjoy the place because it is really refreshing
to the eyes, the area is not polluted and has a healthy environment. From the front gate I can see
how beautiful the environment of the school is. It gave me a great impression of their school, I
already have an idea that this school is so creative and the inside will also be great. When I went
inside the school I saw that they follow the safety protocol, they will get your temperature first
and put alcohol in your hand for sanitary. The school hallway is so clean and organized, there is
always a garbage can in every corner to mainta in the cleanliness of the school. They also
resourceful, where they use recycle materials to be part of the design in the school, example is
they use plastic bottle to be a vase of the plants and paint it with different color to be presentable
and combined to the colorful environment of the school and they also use big water jar to be the
garbage bin. I also see the different facilities of the school, I think it isn't new but I can observe
they take care of it well because they maintain it to look new and not anything crack or ruin in
the rooms and facilities. There are no vandals and faded paint in the facilities and the materia ls
and appliances in every room are organized well and have good ambiance because it is not
crowded and the position of things is balanced. When I enter a classroom, I see it is well
organized and decorated so colorful, every corner of it is so clean and neat. At the back of the
classroom I see a display board with a picture posted there, in the picture is about some
introduction and extra information about the subject they have. I see they posted it there a line
and well informative for the students, also at the back have different book that can use of the
student to read if they have vacant time to gain more information and be advance knowledge to
the lesson. The chair is well lined and not too crowded because there are 24 pieces that make the
room have more space for the student. The room is well ventilated, has 4 windows to make the
air go in and out of the classroom and there is also an electric fan to make it more comfortable
for the student. I can say that the classroom in this school is safe and comfortable for the students
and the materials is absolutely can help to the learnings and development of them.
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 school campus has a lot of contribution or impact to the student learning and development.
We know that if the school has a healthy, safe and secure environment we can let them engage and
discover by themselves with our guidance. Having a school with good facilities and resources we
can conduct the lesson more meaningful for them and it will be easier to understand. I conclude if
the school has a positive environment it can reflect to the student, they can have gained more
positive learning and behavior and while the environment is not too good there is a possibility that
the student can’t able to meet or achieve his needs.

How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/How does this
relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?

The child and adolescent’s development is always built by their experiences that important the
school can provide a good environment where the student can explore and discover things to gain
more knowledge and experiences. We have to make the environment safe and secure for the
students so that they are comfortable and engaging. Having a right facility helps the student to gain
knowledge easier with the use of manipulating materials and resources that the school has. Also,
when I teach the student, I have to ensure that the activities that I will give to my student are
appropriate to their age development so that I make sure they can do it and gain development.

REFLECT

1.Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?

Yes, because I can see that this kind of school environment can help me to teach to the students.
Having a spacious environment helps me to let the student discover new things on their own. The
rooms are well ventilated, there is availability of equipment and manipulative materials and the
chair is good and comfortable to the student. I think that if I teach in this kind of school
environment there will not be any big problematic work I will face and I can teach more easily to
the students.

2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?

In my opinion a school campus is conducive to learning when it has good and neat facilities and
has a lot of resources that can help the student to enhance and develop their skills. The school
campus must be safe for the students, the facilities are well ventilated, have materials and
resources that help the teacher and student in their learning. Lastly, the place is not polluted and
has a healthy and clean environment that will not cause sickness to the student.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

The school classroom should also be comfortable, well ventilated and the things inside of it like
chair, board and appliances are safe and in good condition. There should have a lot of materials
and resources that can be used to execute the lesson to the student and have meaningful learning.
The classroom should avoid any distraction so that the student can focus more on their learning.
The classroom is not crowded with useless things and no exaggerated and too bright design that
can cause irritation to the eyes of students.

4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?

To achieve this kind of classroom I will make sure that my classroom is neat and comfortable for
my students. I will always check the things inside of it like the chair and appliances to make sure
it is not a wreck that can cause an accident to my students. Maintaining that the classroom is safe
for my student and well ventilated. I will be creative and resourceful to make this classroom to
be well organized, safe and neat.

5. Write your additional learnings and insights here.

This subject helps me to be more observant to the things inside the school campus and
classroom. make me realize that every part of the school has an impact on the students and we
must make sure that the environment of the school is presentable, comfortable and neat that we
can encourage the student to learn. Having a positive environment can build a good and positive
behavior impact on the students.

Observation REPORT

When I observe the classroom of Ms. B, I see that every part of the classroom has a
Display board. In the front part of the classroom there is posted the National Anthem, Prayer,
National Heroes of the Philippines and the class quotes/motivation. In the sides of the classroom
there are also some display boards and the thing posted here is class standing, Progress chart and
small bulletin board of the class. And at the back of the classroom is the main Display Board that
shows different subjects and gives information about it. These main display boards are called the
learning area because it gives information/introduction of the lesson of each subject that is really
informative for the students. I see that the display board in the classroom is simple and not too
exaggerated in design. The color used in the design is light that is good for the eyes of the student
and not a distraction/irritation for them. Even though the design is simple it is still attractive and
noticeable. The materials used in making the display board are, woods, cartolina, colored paper,
tapes, glue, plastic cover and some artificial flowers and leaves for the decoration. I see that Ms.
B put all her effort making those
display boards to make it more
presentable and informative for her
students. Observing the display board
I didn’t see a misspelled word or
grammatical errors, I can say the
content of it is understandable and has
clear information. The display board
attract me is the DRRM (Disaster Risk
Reduction Management) it important
that every room has this kind of
importation to make our student always be inform what they going to do if there a disaster
happened while they in the classroom. Prevention is better than cure, that is why it is important
that we have safety measures in our classroom. This kind of display board must be adopt and apply

ANALYZE

What do you think was the purpose of the board display?

The board display is a good way to present the lesson to the student. Most of the students
are visual learners, it helps them to more understand the lesson if there is a visual guide when the
teacher is discussing. Having a board display helps the student to gain knowledge in an easier
way and the learning that they get can possibly go to the long-term memory. There is a lot of
purpose in using Display boards, it can be an attraction for the student, having a creative
discussion and promote/announce an activity in a creative way.

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why? Why
not?

I think yes, it still relates to the audience's interest and likes. We should always relate the
design of the display board to their interests and likes. Getting their attention is one of our
priority that we must relate the design to the things that can attract their eyes, we can use the
character and habits related to their interests/likes.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Why
not?

Yes, the language used is clear, simple and understandable. It is important that the
language that we use is understandable so that our students can get the message we convey to our
display board. We have to use the language appropriate to our target audience. For example if
our audience is young learners we can use simple words that even if they read it by themselves
they are able to understand the message of the board display.

Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?

In my opinion the board display is not too effective but it is still good to have this in the
classroom to get the attention of the student and give them information. I say that the display is
not too effective because the information that we can post here is limited and need more extra
explanation for the student to more understand. We can’t really say that the student can get the
information just by looking at them because some students are audio learners, they prepare more
explanation and detailed information. But still the board display is good to be a guide in the
discussion of the student.

What suggestions can you make?

I suggest in making board displays we shouldn’t have an exaggerated design in making it

we have to make it more informative and the design should be limited. I also suggest, make the
color of content to be colorful with a light color that it will not be hard to read by the student. If
the background is dark we have to make the text to be light and vice versa so that we can read
the text inside of it.

Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display board. Use the form
below.

2. Which of the skills you named in # 1 do you already have? Recall your past experiences
in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

I think the skill I have is the creativity and resourceful, after doing my board display lay out, I
can see that my work is full of creativity. In this way I can provide more display board that can
really attract the students. Resourceful, I know that I have this kind of skill because I always look
for alternative way and objects when I doing a task. Even I already have these skills, I still have a
lot of improvement and I willing to practice it and gain more to make an effective board display.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how you
can improve on or acquire these skills?

I think all of those skills are still in need of improvement; I know that I can excel and that I can
make a more effective board display. To enhance my skill, I need to practice more and observe
other people's works so that I can compare my work and know what are my mistakes and what is
lacking in my work. To acquire more I will seek for a tutorial online also asking questions to the
professional and have a lot of experience in making board displays.
