Questions
:

11. What are the facilities you find most useful?

The facilities that I find most useful are the library, science laboratory, canteen and
gymnasium. Based on my observation those mentioned facilities are the most useful facilities
for students because, I observed that some of the students during their lunch break or if they
have their free time they are going to library and read some books, while some of the students
are using the science laboratory for their science experiments, some students are having their
snacks/lunch in the canteen, and lastly in the gymnasium where some of the students are
having their PE subject and the other students waiting for some reason.

2. What are the facilities you find least useful?

The facilities that I find least useful are the comfort rooms and the medical clinic. Though they
also both have use but, as what I’ve observed they aren’t usually use by the students. Some of
the comfort rooms cubicles are dirty and stinky and it maybe the reason why it’s not usually
used by the students. The reason why medical clinic are not usually used because it can only
use when there was an accident that happened inside of the school

3. Are there other facilities you observed/remembered that are not stated above? If yes, list them below.

Yes, I observed that there is no auditorium.

1. What are the classroom management strategy(ies) that you have observed?

During the discussion of the teacher Reyna Talinjo as one of the observer, I observed that she
use the 5E lesson plan which are the engage, explore, explain, elaborate, and evaluate in her
classroom management.

2. What part(s) of the lesson this/these management strategy(ies) were utilized?

When the teacher are having recap in their last lecture until she connected it on their latest
topic, the consistency of the teacher on how she make her discussion less stress by having
some commercial to checked her students if they are still listening, after that she continue the
lesson and explain and elaborate her topic that her students can understand and lastly before
the end of the class she also give her students a short quiz to evaluate them if they learned
something from her.

3. What management strategy did the teacher utilize to keep the learning environment safe and
conducive?

As I observed the teacher’s always putting smile on her face which I also feel that she’s doing
her job to not letting her students feeling judgements and down. I also observed that the
students and teacher respect each other and when the teacher are asking questions 75% of
her students they are participating and raising their hands without fear to judgement in that’s
what respecting each other good effect for everyone.

4 What kind of classroom management is conducive to learning?

To be conducive the classroom was needed to be more created where it reflects students and the
learning that will happens. The classrooms should always be attractive, comfortable, and promote 10
inviting environment that students would want to spend time in it.

My Reflection

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

Yes, it would be an honor for me. As what I observed the environment in that school
was good and fair. Because the day we observed in there school we clearly see that all
the learners how to make socialize with others. Also, the fact that we see how actively
participating the students and on how they wanted explore new things in the class
discussion proved that this school are well discipline and how highly respected they
are.

2. If you are the teacher, how can you make the environment more conducive to learning?

If I am the teacher, the first thing that I’m going to do is to decorate my classroom to make it
better place so that my students will feel how peaceful and safe they are inside of my room.
Second, as a teacher I’m the one who should be their role model inside of the room and make
them feel that in this room we are one big happy family. Lastly, to give them a knowledge that
they deserve to know and to have as a teacher you must be also patient to your students and
don’t feel that they are left behind.
