Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment
LEARNING EPISODE 1:
THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
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 characteristics of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good school environment through any of these:

b) Photo essay
c) Sketch or drawing
d) Poem, song or rap
OBSERVE
As you moved around the campus, observations forms are provided for you to document your observations. It is
advised that you read the entire worksheet before proceeding to the school site. A good understanding of the activities and
tasks to be accomplished in the activity sheets will yield better learning results.
Familiarize yourself with the different areas and facilities of the school. Check the column to indicate their availability.
Give a brief description of those are available, and say how each will contribute to the student’s learning and
development.
