Date of visit September 6, 2021

As I arrived in Quezon Jr. Elementary School which is my alma mater, I was amazed
on the changes that it has now. As I entered the gate the DEPED mission and vision
first catches my eyes, as it is colorful and attractive. The school grounds were new to
me and the surroundings it is more colorful and brighter than before. The number of
buildings was still the same only the beautiful and attractive surroundings changes.
When I first entered grade 2 classroom it is very colorful pink, blue and other bright
and calm colors, from the learner’s desk down to teaching materials, stuff and teachers
table which is located at the back near the door. My overall observation, the school is a
conductive for learning but it can improve more specially to have more facilities that
the pupils needed to have to better develop their skills.
ANALYZE

OBSERVATION REPORT

the learning of the students going to school? What are your
conclusions?

The school is quite far from most of the learner’s houses,


although the road is smooth, for me for young learners in kinder to
three will get tire in going back to school after lunch.

2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent


development/How does this relate to your knowledge of facilitating
learning?

Based on my knowledge on child and adolescent development,


there are lot of differences that the child has that as a future educator
I really need to know what approach or strategy that I could used in
order to communicate each child characteristics. On facilitating
learning, I as a future educator need to master and apply theories in
real scenario to deliver the lesson well and for my students to
understand.
REFLECT

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed?
Why?

Yes, I would love to teach the school environment I just observe,


even though that school has lack of many facilities, I know that I can
contribute in changing the lives of my future learners. I would love to
share my knowledge, experiences and skills, and to teach them not to
quit the learning they will about to start as quitting is for weak and
facing the challenges makes us win in life.

A school campus that is conducive for learning is a school with a


clean and safe environment, with enough school facilities that will
develop and nurture the learners’ growth, indeed a child friendly
learning environment.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

A classroom that is conducive to learning is a clean and well-


organized environment. Filled with attractive learning materials, good
and clean furniture as well.

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

This experience will help me gain more knowledge and expertise


in my chosen field. These subject Field Study 1 observation, analysis,

compassionate teacher.

5. Write your additional learning insights here.

I learned that teaching in a public school and being assigned in


far land area was not easy, yet challenging. There are lot of facilities
that is lacking, and even water supply is a problem. Going to school
the teachers need to pass by the bridge, and when a typhon came it
vanished everything the teacher need to go down directly and walk on
the river to come to school.

MY BOARD DISPLAY LAYOUT
ANALYZE

What do you think was the purpose of the board display?

The purpose of board display is to easily catch the learner’s interest,


and attention to enhance learning. It also helps those visual learners to
easily grasp the information. Display board will also boost the confidence,
and the sense of being proud of their works to be displayed in the
classroom. It also facilitates relevant information, events, and tasks.

Did the board design reflect the likes/interest of its target audience? Why?
Why not?

Yes, the board display design reflects the likes, and interest of the
target audience. As I observed, in grade two classroom the design is very
interactive and engaging as the display or design is colorful, and very
appealing to the eyes. Pupils’ works are also displayed in the display board.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Why not?

Yes, the language used is clear and simple for the target audience. The
learners can read and comprehend the words and languages being used. It
is easy to understood by the target audience. Translation of words such as
English to Filipino is evident right next to it.

Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?

Yes, I can say that the display board is effective as it conveys


information easily. It entertains and attract viewers; it shows variety of
educational information. The quotations is also attractive and educational.
The learners can comprehend easily all of the information and apply it in
their lives.

What suggestions can you make?


For better improvement of the display board, I can suggest to put
additional pictures, design, and quotations which can attract easily the
attention, and interest of the learners on what is being posted.
