 - In my own observation of the classroom, it is very much warm to study, it is very
comfortable, the classroom facilities they have are a big help to motivate the students in
the learning process. The environment and ambiance of the room is very much appealing
and the room is well-ventilated. Plus each classroom has its own comfort room; this is an
advantage because the students can go to the comfort room with no hustle because it is
near the room in fact it is inside the room.

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 facilities of the school campus and the classroom greatly affect the students that go
to school, because if the school and classroom is improper the students will start to think
not to go to school. For example, there are schools nowadays that are very much limiting
their cost in which the number of students is not enough to the ratio of the chairs, to the
extent that some students sat on the floor. In this sample case, I therefore conclude that if
the student is not comfortable or satisfied of a certain school, he/she will get lazy and not
be on school, but if the student is comfortable or satisfied with the facilities of a school
he/she will be more eager to attend school

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

- As future educator, by these instances I will know that there are many factors that can
affect the student to attend and not to attend school. And by knowing such factors, I can
adjust to what my students will need.
REFLECT

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why
not?
- Yes. Because the school environment is very accessible, the surroundings is very
peaceful and covered by green pasture that brighten up the day and gives a cool and cozy
environment.

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

- A school that is conductive to learning is a school that has complete facilities that will
surely help and benefited by the student learners to understand the subject matter they are
studying.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

- A classroom that is conducive to learning is a classroom with proper chairs, functioning

electric fans for the ease of students, all other facilities that will greatly contribute for the
attainment of knowledge of the students and most especially an expert teacher by
profession and by heart.

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

- For now, I will study hard so that I can be a good teacher in the future. If I have good
grades and right experiences I have no doubts that I can accomplish to become a
compassionate teacher by mind, heart and soul.

5. Write your additional learnings and insights here.

- I learned that every student has their own reaction to the environment they are in, that’s
why the teachers should be complex and flexible to know that.
