Canteen/ Cafeteria The canteen is air-conditioned;
however, it may be too small to

But, because the tables are well-
arranged and comfy, it is an excellent
spot to eat, relax, and talk about
things. It's convenient because there

Yes, I believe, since canteens and
cafeterias are great places to eat,
rest, and talk about things. This will
also entail students cleaning the
surfaces after each meal and
practicing proper waste disposal.
Lastly, this will help students
improve in terms of social
engagement with their classmates,
since friends may also help them
grow.
Yes, a school-based health clinic has
a good influence on student learning
and development because it teaches
students the basic first aid or
emergency treatment to sick or
injured peers in emergency
situations. They can also seek advice
from specialists on how to spot early
indications and symptoms of health
concerns that interfere with their
learning. The presence of a mental
health expert on school premises
can aid in the development of staff

behavior.
Yes, school laboratories can help
students learn and develop because
they provide first-hand experience,
knowledge of basic laboratory
equipment, and better opportunities
for learning, particularly in
performing research, experiments,
or even learning new things with the
help of the internet, which helps

 2. An Observation Guide for the Classroom Visit

Guide Question Classroom Observation Report

1. Describe the community or neighborhood where
the school is found.
2.  Describe the school campus. What colors do you
see? What is the condition of the buildings?
3. Pass by the offices, what impression do you have
of these offices?
4. Walk through the school halls, the library, the
cafeteria. Look around and find out the other
facilities that the school has.
The school is a little way down the road. There are
industrial companies, a church and shopping complexes
nearby.
The school grounds are welcoming, pleasant, and orderly.
Because of the numerous trees and plants that surround
it, it is quite green. The school colors are not distracting;
they are quite neutral and pleasing to the eyes. The
building is in decent shape; nevertheless, it is a multi-
story structure, so going up might be exhausting if your
classes are on the top floor.
The offices are in a standard-sized facility that can hold
four to six people. It is air-conditioned and extremely
simple, tidy, and comfortable. It is an excellent place to
work because it is peaceful.
They have a huge quadrangle and new restrooms near
the gymnasium/auditorium as well as a mini park for
children to play and socialize with their peers.

B. Analyze

1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the students going to school?
What are your conclusions?
Answer:
The school campus and classrooms are also compelling considerations why students attend school, especially if
it is air conditioned or properly ventilated, tidy, pleasant, and comfortable. These contribute because they may
help students learn, give a good source for better study, and help them grow their conduct, moral aspect, and
character as learners, and since they are already large enough to accommodate all children, it will help satisfy all
of their needs.
2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/ How does this relate to your
knowledge of facilitating learning?
Answer:
Building a pleasant atmosphere for students produces a welcoming, emotionally and supportive learning
environment in which children may establish a feeling of belonging and gain crucial social and emotional skills
while achieving academic achievement. Students learn more effectively when they perceive the learning
environment to be positive and encouraging. The process of learning becomes something that children readily
adapt to and look forward to when they are in an environment where they feel comfortable; a place where good
connections with classmates and teachers develop. Young pupils require love, care, and support, which begins
with a pleasant and caring atmosphere and community.

C. Reflect

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why?
Answer:
I don't turn down any opportunity, especially when it comes to teaching. However, I would want to teach in the
school setting that I just observed since I am capable of observing, assessing, and reflecting on the needs in their
current state. I'd like to share what I've learned in their school setting in order to foster adequate learning for
them.
2. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
Answer: If the school facilities are adequate and sufficient to support a big number of children, this will help to
develop a suitable learning environment for them. They learn more effectively when they are exposed to a
happy and helpful learning environment. When children are in a secure setting where they may form close
relationships with their classmates and teachers, they quickly adjust to and enjoy the learning process.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
Answer: A pleasant setting for students creates a welcoming, emotionally and physically supportive learning
environment in which children may build a sense of belonging and learn critical social and emotional skills while
attaining academic success.

 4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?
Answer: Creating a positive classroom is a process that involves organizing the physical space, getting the
students to work collaboratively, creating a cooperative environment, and lastly maintaining a positive
classroom climate and culture. To begin, I must first focus on the physical space where the set up in a very
functional manner and students can feel comfortable and able to learn.
5. Write your additional learnings and insights here.
Answer:
Throughout this activity, I learned that learning occurs not just in classrooms but also throughout the school
campus. Learning should be conducive for a student, and as a pre-service teacher, it is essential to assess every
part of a student's learning and surroundings in order to alter or develop the typical approach for them in order
for them to grow a little further. It is also important to highlight the activities that will assist pupils to study while
also having fun. Allow amenities that will assist them in engaging intellectually and socially. Allow the school
campus and classrooms to be places where students are excited to be there and are delighted as they go home.
