FS 1 1

SPARK Your Interest

This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for the students to examine and reflect on a school environment
that promotes learning and development.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to determine the characteristics of the school environment
that is safe, secret and is supportive learning (PSST2.1.1).

REVISIT the Learning Essential

1. A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent practices that:
 Keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
 Maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
 Address the physical, social and psychological need of the students.
2. Display boards can be powerful in communicating information about the learning environment.
They help in building and establishing the school culture. These boards become the one way for
everyone to learn about the vision-mission, goals and values that the school upholds.
3. As a basis part of the school’s visual environment, display boards have four general purposes:
 Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the social and
psychological atmosphere of the school.
 Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have a greater confidence.
An example would be the display of students output that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learner’s growth and
progress.
 Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
 Instructional- They move students to respond and participate through interactive display.
They get students to think about and communicate their learning.
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin boards display includes effective communication,
attractiveness, balance, unity, legibility, correctness and durability.

To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, work my way through these steps:

1. Visit a school. Look into facilities and support learning areas in the campus, then in the
classroom.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
4. Reflect on the characteristic of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good school environment through any of these:
a.) Descriptive paragraph b.) Photo essay
c.) Sketch or Drawing d.) Poem, song or rap

(Bloom’s Taxonomy)
A school campus and the classroom have a direct impact on the learning of its students.
Having a good environment, both physically and psychologically, can be beneficial in the
learning process. A classroom should be spacious with enough resources for each student
to use for their academic studies.

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

It provides insight into the major stages of development that occur in children and
adolescents, including physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Along with
understanding these stages of development, it is important to understand how to facilitate

learning for children and adolescents in order to ensure that these stages are met.

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

It is incredibly rewarding to have the opportunity to teach within this environment. After observing
the school setting and getting a better idea of the type of teachings and the expectations that come with it, I
am confident that I would enjoy the challenge and satisfaction of teaching in such an environment. It is my
goal to help shape the minds of children and adolescents in a positive way and to provide them with the
knowledge and skills necessary to become successful adults.

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

Every student wants a learning environment that is comfortable and inviting. Creating a campus
environment that is conducive to learning is not always easy, but it is possible. A strong school culture is
essential for creating an environment that is welcoming, supportive, and encouraging of learning. Moreover,
it is important for the school to have clear policies and expectations for students that emphasize respect for
each other and the learning process.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

An effective classroom is one that is structured in a way that encourages student engagement and
meaningful learning. A conducive learning environment allows for creative thinking, promotes social
dynamics and allows for collaboration. Classrooms can also benefit from providing students with their own
individual spaces, such as personal desks or cubbies, or from creating designated areas for specific activities.
The environment can also be made more inviting and stimulating by including items such as artwork, plants,
and educational tools.

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

To ensure the most effective learning environment, employ an strategies such as making sure the
classroom is well-lit and organized, providing individual spaces for each student, and including items that
stimulate their interest. Additionally, provide students with challenging but achievable tasks, encouraging
them to be creative and collaborative. Setting aside time for breaks and unstructured activities can also help
students stay focused and engaged. With the right mix of instruction, organization, and fun activities,
teachers can create an effective learning environment that encourages students to excel.

5. Write your additional learning and insights here?

In addition to creating a physical environment that promotes learning, It should take the time to
cultivate a positive classroom culture. This can be done by providing students with clear expectations,
providing students with opportunities to voice their opinions, and encouraging students to work
collaboratively. Doing so will foster an atmosphere of trust and respect which will help students to feel more
comfortable and confident in their learning. Furthermore, teachers should make sure that students are aware

of their rights and responsibilities in the classroom in order to promote a positive learning environment
draw people in with eye-catching visuals. It was a way to create an inviting environment that was both
informative and captivating.

- I suggest maybe an interactive bulletin boards should have clear, concise directions that are
easy for the students to read and understand. If some of the students need extra help with
reading, consider recording the directions and allowing students to play them back as
needed. Ideally, an interactive bulletin board will be an independent work station for
students, so take their ability levels into consideration when planning activities and
interaction requirements

 Having the skills to come up with effective displays for the classroom board is essential. Essential
skills include creativity, organization, research, communication, and problem-solving.
 Creativity helps to come up with unique and interesting displays that will captivate the
students.
 Organization is also important, as it helps to make sure the display looks put together and
professional.
 Research is important when creating a display as it allows the teacher to have access to a
vast amount of information that can be used in the display.
 Communication is also needed, as it allows the teacher to be able to effectively
communicate with the students and colleagues to gain feedback and ideas.

manner.

2. Which of the skills you named in #1 do you already have? Recall your past experience in making
board displays. How do you practice these skills?
Creativity
1. Research: Spend time researching the topic or product you’re making a board display for to get ideas
and learn as much as possible about it.
2. Brainstorm: Generate ideas by thinking of different ways to present your product or topic in a unique
manner that stands out from other similar displays.
3. Visualize: Sketch out your ideas on paper, create mood boards with colors and textures, and use 3D
modeling software to explore what your board could look like before creating it in physical form.
4. Experiment: Utilize different materials and mediums such as paints, fabrics, wood cutouts, magnets,
ribbons etc., to make something eye-catching but also practical for displaying quickly set up & take down
when necessary.
5. Refine: Try putting together several pieces repeatedly until you arrive at the perfect combination for an
aesthetically pleasing display that draws attention and conveys its message clearly without being too busy
or overwhelming viewers with too many design elements at once

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

Creative skill
Creativity is a skill that can be improved with practice and dedication. The first step to becoming
more creative is to learn how to observe the world around you. Paying attention to people, places
and things can often spark ideas and creative solutions to problems. Drawing inspiration from the
environment can help build the creative muscle and allow you to think of new and innovative ideas.
