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

The school campus and the classroom environment have a significant impact on student
learning. A well-designed and maintained campus, along with organized classrooms, a safe
atmosphere, accessible resources, and a positive classroom culture, create an environment that
supports student engagement, motivation, and academic achievement. These factors contribute
to a conducive learning environment and enhance the overall educational experience of
students.

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

As future educator, by these instances I will know that there are many factors that can affect the
student to attend and not to attend school. And by knowing such factors, I can adjust to what my
students will need.

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

Yes. Because the school environment is very accessible, the surroundings is very peaceful and
covered by green pasture that brighten up the day and gives a cool and cozy envi ronment.

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

A school campus that is conducive to learning is one that is safe, well-maintained, and
provides a positive and inclusive environment for students. It should have appropriate
facilities, resources, and spaces that support various learning activities. Additionally, the
campus should promote a sense of community, encourage collaboration, and provide
opportunities for both academic and social growth.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

A conducive learning classroom is one that is well-organized, engaging, and inclusive. It

provides a comfortable and safe space for active student participation and collaboration.
Additionally, it incorporates effective instructional strategies, promotes positive teacher-
student relationships, and supports student-centered learning.

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

To make a classroom conducive to learning in the future, I can focus on creating an

organized and engaging environment, fostering positive relationships, implementing
effective instructional strategies, and promoting inclusivity and student-centered learning.

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

Basically, a school is a place we’re we study and learn. It is where we learn new
knowledge, gained valuable experiences, build social relationship and develop meaningful
values within ourselves. But to achieve all of these, a school must be safe space for
learning, promotes quality education, allows easy access to learning resources and
provides opportunities for independent but experiential learning for students. These will
not be possible if the school head, teachers, parents, students and the community will
cooperate in achieving all of these goals.
