All of the facilities that I find are useful. All of these facilities that schools have are students needed in

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

Strategies for classroom management are crucial for fostering a successful and positive
learning environment. One of the classroom managements I observed is scaffolding
wherein the teacher helps the learner to deeply understand the difficult concept during
discussion. The other one is active learning wherein learners actively participate in the
learning process the teacher lets the learner ask questions when there is anything that
they can’t understand.

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

The classroom management strategies I mentioned above were utilized during the
discussion. The teacher lets their students participate in the discussion by letting
them ask questions if they have clarification on the topic. The teacher always asks if
they understand the lesson if he/she notices that her/his students don’t understand
she/he gives simple explanation and example so that they can deeply understand
the topic.

3. What management strategy did the teacher utilize to keep the learning environment safe and
conducive?
I observed that classroom management helped the teacher to utilize the learning environment safely
and conducive first teacher made sure the classroom was clean so that the students could focus.

they do in the classroom. teachers create a positive classroom environment by doing positive moves
like proper communication and interaction. Lastly, teachers create a positive classroom environment by

My Analysis

Answer the following questions:

When do you consider a facility useful or not?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
School facilities are important, especially for students and teachers. The
condition of facilities has a big impact on students’ performance and teacher
effectiveness. I consider facilities useful every time because if the students are
comfortable enough, it improves their success.

When do you say that a facility aids learning? Cite some instances.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
As a student teacher who has observed various facilities, I believe that a facility
is effective when its function benefits students, teachers, parents, and other
individuals. When it contributes to the growth and improvement of the school's
learning environment, it becomes a valuable asset. When individuals use
facilities for their intended purpose and with good intentions, we can consider
them beneficial. However, overuse of a facility can has negative effects on the
owner, the environment, and, most importantly, the people it serves.

What is the impact of the environment to the learners?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The impact of the environment on the learners plays a crucial role in shaping
the learners experience and outcome. Teachers should create positive and
safe environment for learners for them to have a better outcome in terms of
education. If the environment of learners is negative like dirty, noisy and not
pleasant classroom this will be a hindrance to the learners to focus.

What kind of classroom management is conducive to learning?

Classroom management is conducive to learning if the classroom setting has a positive and comfortable setup. The
teachers give the learners a pleasant physical setting like they clearly understand what their teacher says. Learners
should practice and know how to socialize with their classmates to have better and good communication in the
classroom.

My Reflection

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

Yes, I aspire to teach in a positive environment similar to what I've observed. Waking
up to the smiles of my students may seem simple, but it brings me immense joy. The
school demonstrates good academic performance and provides decent facilities,
although not all are optimal. As a prospective teacher, I aim to enhance my classroom,
creating a space where students feel relaxed, comfortable, and motivated to excel. The
enthusiasm and respect displayed by endearing students will serve as a motivating
factor for future educators, reflecting our shared dreams for brighter futures.

2. If you are the teacher, how can you make the environment conducive to learning?
As an educator, fostering an optimal learning environment entail cultivating positive
connections with students, expressing a sincere investment in their growth, and
attentively addressing their inquiries. It is also imperative to promote active involvement
in the educational journey. When learners feel respected and esteemed, they are
inclined to become fully engaged and invested in their studies.

3. How do classroom management impact learning?

Effective classroom management involves more than just controlling students' behavior. It's
about creating an environment that encourages students to strive for success in their future
endeavors. A teacher's positive actions can have a significant impact on the social and mental
8
growth of their students, which in turn affects their learning outcomes. A well-managed
classroom is a safe and inclusive space where every student feels respected and valued.
When students feel secure and included, they are more likely to engage actively and take
risks in their learning.

4. If you are to design a learning environment for your would students, how will it look like? Illustrate

In my vision for an ideal learning environment, I envision a positive and organized

space with well-equipped doors, windows, and aesthetically pleasing painted walls. The
classroom should offer ample space, featuring a centrally located teacher's desk and
sufficient tables for students. Incorporating technology equipment to support digital
skills and enhance learning is essential. I also propose designated, decorated areas for
specific purposes, promoting easy access for both teachers and students. To further
enrich the learning experience, I advocate for a mini library within the learning
environment, serving as an additional resource for students and positively impacting
their learning outcomes.
