Name of School Observed: International School of Asia and the Pacific

Location of the school: Alimannao Hills, Peñablanca, Cagayan

Date to visit _______________________________________________________________

During my recent classroom observation, I noted several interesting features and conditions
within the learning environment. In some classrooms, wall displays were positioned at the
front corners. These displays varied in presentation; some were affixed to cardboard, while
others were printed and laminated.

In terms of classroom arrangement, one consistent element was the teacher's table, which
was situated at the center front of the room, facing the students. The table appeared long
and tall enough to accommodate the teacher's needs.

The seating arrangement consisted of armchairs arranged in rows and columns, with
adequate spacing between them. Unfortunately, some chairs appeared quite old and worn,
with visible signs of wear and tear. The number of chairs in each classroom seemed to vary
based on the available space, reflecting the diverse classroom sizes.

At the front corner of the classroom, a blackboard was prominently placed, with the unique
feature of half of it being a whiteboard. The size of these boards differed according to the
classroom's dimensions, and many showed signs of prolonged use, bearing marks and
scratches from years of instruction. These boards appeared to serve as the primary medium
for visual aids and learning materials, although their content appeared to be subject to the
 teaching methods of individual instructors.

Regarding the classroom's infrastructure, lighting fixtures were installed, but it was evident
that some were faulty and not functioning correctly. Similarly, while fans were present in
some rooms, others lacked adequate fans for effective ventilation. Additionally, some fans
also needed repair, further contributing to potentially uncomfortable conditions within the
classroom.

The observed classrooms displayed a mix of teaching materials and environmental conditions,
with variations in the quality and functionality of certain elements. These factors highlighted
the potential challenges teachers and students face in ensuring an optimal learning
experience within these classrooms.

How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the students
going to school? What are your conclusions?
The school campus, including the individual classrooms, plays a crucial role in shaping
students' learning experiences. The physical environment of the campus can have a significant
impact on students' overall educational journey. In particular, the classroom setting has a direct
influence on their learning.
Classrooms serve as the primary backdrop for teaching and learning. The arrangement
of furniture, the presence and quality of instructional materials, and the overall condition of the
classroom can significantly affect students' engagement and comprehension. For instance, the
placement of the teacher's table and seating arrangement can determine the level of interaction
and focus in the classroom. The condition of the chairs and the availability of sufficient seating
also impact students' physical comfort, which, in turn, affects their ability to concentrate.
The presence and quality of instructional aids, such as whiteboards and visual displays,
can enhance or hinder teaching effectiveness. In classrooms where such aids are limited or in
disrepair, students may miss out on valuable visual learning opportunities. Moreover, the
condition of the blackboards or whiteboards, often bearing the marks of years of use, may
affect the clarity and legibility of the information presented.
The functionality of the lighting and ventilation systems is crucial for creating a
conducive learning environment. Inadequate lighting and faulty fans can lead to discomfort and
distractions, potentially hindering students' ability to focus on their studies.
The school campus and the classroom environment are integral factors in students'
learning experiences. The physical conditions and resources available in classrooms can
significantly impact teaching effectiveness and learning quality. Addressing issues such as
broken furniture, faulty equipment, and insufficient lighting and ventilation can create a more
conducive and productive learning environment for students. Furthermore, investing in the
upkeep and improvement of classroom infrastructure is essential to ensuring that all students
have the opportunity to thrive academically.

How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development? How does this
relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
Child and adolescent development emphasizes the importance of creating supportive
and engaging learning environments tailored to the developmental needs of students. The
condition of classroom furniture and equipment, including broken and old chairs, can impact
physical comfort and posture. Ergonomic and comfortable seating arrangements promote
focused attention and maintain physical health. Inadequate seating may lead to discomfort and
potential distractions, hindering students' ability to engage in learning activities effectively.
The presence of instructional aids and visual displays is critical in facilitating learning. In
this regard, classrooms with limited or outdated visual aids may not fully support students'
diverse learning styles and developmental stages, potentially inhibiting their comprehension and
engagement.
The classroom's physical environment, including lighting and ventilation, is essential for
creating a conducive atmosphere for learning. The physical environment influences adolescents'
mood, behavior, and cognitive functioning. Inadequate lighting and faulty ventilation can lead
to discomfort and reduced cognitive performance, particularly relevant to adolescents as they
strive to master complex concepts and skills.
 In terms of facilitating learning, educators should be attuned to the developmental
needs of their students and adapt the classroom environment accordingly. This includes
ensuring that teaching materials and aids are age-appropriate and engaging. Additionally,
addressing issues related to classroom infrastructure, such as repairing broken furniture and
improving lighting and ventilation, is essential for creating a supportive and effective learning
environment.
Classrooms should align with child and adolescent development principles by
highlighting the importance of a comfortable, well-equipped, and conducive learning space. To
facilitate learning effectively, educators should consider the developmental needs of their
students and strive to create an environment that supports their physical, cognitive, and
emotional growth.

REFLECT

1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?
I want to teach in the school environment I have just observed because I believe it is not the
physical attributes of a school that matter when it comes to teaching but your passion and
commitment to do so. Being a part of the school community provides a sense of purpose and
the chance to impact students positively. I believe the factors or challenges in the classroom
environment can be addressed and appropriately resolved. We just need to find ways to engage
students and deliver quality education despite limitations.

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

A conducive school campus for learning provides students with a safe, comfortable, and
inspiring environment. Facilities and offices should be complete and well structured. It should
also include well-maintained classrooms with ergonomic furniture, modern teaching aids, and
proper lighting and ventilation systems to ensure physical comfort. The campus should also
offer spaces for collaboration, creativity, and outdoor activities. A conducive learning
environment promotes a positive school culture, encourages active student engagement, and
fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion among students and staff.

3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?

A conducive classroom for learning is organized, comfortable, and well-equipped. It should have
ergonomic seating arrangements that promote good posture and physical comfort. The
classroom should also feature modern teaching aids and technology to support various learning
styles and engage students. Adequate lighting, ventilation, and temperature control are
essential for a comfortable atmosphere. A conducive classroom should also have a positive and
inclusive atmosphere, fostering respect, collaboration, and active participation among students.
Effective classroom management and a teacher who employs interactive teaching strategies
further create an ideal learning environment.

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

In the future, creating a classroom conducive to learning can be achieved through innovative
approaches and thoughtful considerations. First and foremost, investing in modern and
ergonomic furniture, adequate lighting, and efficient ventilation systems can enhance physical
comfort and minimize distractions. Embracing technology and providing up-to-date instructional
aids, such as interactive displays and digital resources, can enrich the learning experience.
Implementing flexible teaching methods that cater to diverse learning styles and encouraging
student engagement through active participation and group activities can foster a dynamic and
inclusive learning environment. Furthermore, offering comprehensive support services for

 I went around the school to examine the board displays. The offices and classroom buildings
have board displays, which are all easily visible to anyone passing by.

The displays varied in their content and purpose. Some were informative, displaying
important school announcements, while others showcased student achievements and
important school rules and values. Each display was distinct in its vital message and design.
Some prominently featured vibrant images and eye-catching colors, while others relied more
on text to convey their message. The arrangement of information and images varied from
one display to another, with some using grids for a neat organization while others adopted a
more creative and free-flowing layout.

Regarding materials, most displays used colorful poster paper and had decorative borders,
adding to their visual appeal. However, a few displays, with peeling edges and faded colors,
require maintenance. I noticed some misspelled words and grammar inconsistencies on some
displays, which could be improved for better clarity.

Overall, the messages on the display boards were clear and easily understood. What
particularly caught my attention were the displays featuring student’s achievements. This
makes other students to be motivated in their academic endeavors.
