looked up into the walls.It contains many different pictures and sceneries posted, like frames, wall

also have their Unit display board, filipiniana section and they also have their school mission and
vision.The teacher's table is located at the back inside of the room, and for the concern of the chairs;
well it's properly arranged according to their rows.In teaching strategy the only learning materials

with each other in front of their teacher still they have the capacity to answer the question asked
for.There are more than 35 pupils occupying the room.For the description of the classroom it is well-
lighted and well-ventilated as well which is really conducive for the best learning of the learners.

ANALYZE
How the school campus and the classroom in particular impact on the learning of the students going to
school?What are your conclusion?

• For the learning of every pupils going to school every day. It is very interesting and comfortable
enough for the better learning of each pupils. Their school campus included the classroom can be
described as the right and perfect school which is absolutely conducive for the learning of every pupils
tended to learn.

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

• For my own description regarding to this knowledge of child into adolescent development, I
compared the differences between me as of now and to this children right now. I can say that I have
much improvement at this stage compared to my childhood in the past.

REFLECT
1.Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?
 • Yes, If given the chance to teach in that school I would , because, the teachers there are very
trained in their teaching, so, In that way the pupils in their school are bright, and great participants
inside the classroom during/session.

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

• For my own, the kind of school which is conducive to learning is, it must be considered the
condition of the environment including the use of our (5) senses. It must the attractive for the pupils to
see. So that the beautification of school itself they would encourage their selves to go to school.

3.What kind of classroom conducive to learning?

• The condition of the classroom must be suited for the feelings of the learner, the brightness
and lightness of the classroom. So, just in that way those pupils would able to focus on their lessons and
perform well inside.

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

• In my future, I would be able to accomplish all of these through providing some facilities
like the electric fan that eventually we are needed because of the condition right now. Providing these is
one way in which we can try to solve the hotness of the children. Teaching them in the right and correct
ways without any compromising with others, in fact teach them wholeheartedly for the sake of the
children's improvement.

5. Write your additional learning's and insights here.

• For my additional insights pertaining to the learning of learning of everybody, all the
facilities that are needed must be given by the school so that there's nothing to be find/look for when
the times that the pupils/teacher would there to used those materials in time of some activities.
