My Analysis
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact on the learning of
the students going to school? What are your conclusions?

The condition of every building and the school environment had really affect the

students learning development. The students cannot concentrate into their classes if

their school environment does not suit to their learning adaptability. Thus, in educa-

ting the students, we should have to consider a best environment for them.

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

It was said that the environment of a child affects a lot to his development. When

taking into this kind of stage, this is the very crucial level on which what the child

experiences be can bore within his life. What environment he experiences might be

remained handled within his existence.

The purpose of the observation is to provide opportunity for you to relate
theory to actual practice. To help you do this, remember to:

 know and understand what exactly you need to observe

 study the observatio nguides, listen to
your FS teacher and ask questions to be sure all is clear to you
 have paper and pen ready to jot down details
 carefully separate facts from interpretat ions
 accomplish the checklists / forms as
soon as possible so the details are still
fresh in your mind.
 F [THE LEARNER’S DEVELOPMENT AND
My Reflection
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?

Yes. The school had indeed good facilities, and if it happened that the school has not, I will not
change my decision because student that schooling in a public schools need more attention to
guide their educational experiences. I have seen that it is hard for them to study on that kind of
environment but their perseverance to learn had catch my attention so much.

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

The school campus that is conducive for learning must have a complete, good and operating
facilities. There must have also no pollution, clean and well-organized amenities which can able to
enhance students learning process without any hindrances from its environment.

3. What kind of school classroom is conducive to learning?

A conducive for learning classroom must be clean, free from pollution, properly ventilated and
has a complete facilities. Facilities involved aircon, microphone with bass and comfort room. The
floor must also be tiled.

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

Being a good teacher someday, I can accomplish my answer in number 3 by seeking a financial aid
to our politicians. I can also avoid corruption within the students funds because the students pur-
pose in sending their selves in school is just to learn and not being bribed by any financial entity.

5. Write you additional learning insights here.

Learning can be motivated. Thus, the environment of the school campus has an important role in
motivating the students learning. How could any student study well if their rooms are sultry?
Then, it is my opinion to say that the learner’s environment can affect the learner’s learning
deve- lopment.

My Portfolio
My Personal Illustration of an Effective
School Environment

Effective School
The effective school must possess these kinds of aspects. These involve
stimulating and secure learning environment on which the child are free from any
harm of murder or accident. Professional leadership must also take place because
the learners always depend to what the teacher instructs. Focus on teaching and
learning are some point that should have to take into consideration, too. There
should have a purposeful teaching, shared vision and goals, high expectations of all
learners, accountability and learning communities.
