interactive displays. They get students to think about and communicate their
learning.

attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and durability.

Name of the school observed: Bonbon National High School

Location of the School: Bonbon Libon Albay

Date of Visit:

At the date September 11 was the first day of my observation in bonbon national high school,
when I entered the campus the smile of the student’s to their teaching internship was so full of
joy, and when they call you sir is very motivating me as if they respect you. The school is
surrounded by trees so the atmosphere is quite cool.

ANALYZE
1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the students going to
school? What are your conclusions?

● Children’s even adults, learn through their senses. If the school campus and classroom are
not clean, stinky or noisy the student’s cannot concentrate to their lessons and the students may not
be interested to learn.
How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/How does this relate to your
knowledge of facilitating learning?

● As a future educator, by these instances I will know that there are many factors that can affect
the students to attend and not to attend school and by knowing such factors, I can adjust myself just
to provide what my students needed.
REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why?

- Yes, Each classroom have a comfort room and the cleanliness of the campus was organized, And of course
the teachers help us with what should be done inside the classroom, the students are respectful they respect
their teachers and also I want to teach there because of the ambiance of the school.

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

- I think when each classroom are cleaned by each area because it will help students to focusing on their
studies and relaxing while their listening.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning

- Kind of classroom that have signboard that can help to the student attitude change in the classroom, proper
arrangements of chairs, keep clean the classroom In and out.

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

- As a future teacher, I will keep my classroom clean so they can focus on their studies. and I will also put up
signage so that they can learn even though I am not teaching so that they can learn on their own of course me
and my students will help each other to clean everyday to be better.

5. Write your additional learning and insights here.

- I learn that become a teacher does not easy you need to prioritize your students on what they needs to be. If
they want an advice then advice her for their need. You need to be a role model for them, you need to be
clean the classroom orderly. And organized the student's properly.
