Episode 1
My Learning Overview_______________________________________
This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a school
environment that promotes learning and development.
My Performance Criteria_______________________________________________
My Learning Essentials__________________________________________________
A physical environment conducive for learning is one that has consistent practices that:
keep the school safe, clean, orderly and free from distraction;
maintain facilities that provide challenging activities; and
address the physical, social and psychological needs of the students
My Map___________________________________________________________________
To realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps:
As you move around the campus, activity forms are provided for you to document your
observation. 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 sheet will yield better learning results.

Read the following statement carefully. Then write your observation report on the provided
space.
2. Describe the school campus. What colors do you see? What is the condition of the buildings?
4. Walk through the school halls, the library, and the cafeteria. Look around and find out the
other.
The community where the school campus is in was a highly urbanized community.
The school is located beside the church, hospital and market. There were also business
establishments surrounding it. The environment is noisy due to plying vehicles however it is
clean and not polluted.
The school in itself is very much accessible in public transportation. A key location in
the community and very easy to locate by people not loving in the community where the
school is is in. Basically it is in the heart of the city.
The school building is still in its best condition; showing no sign of decay but proper
maintenance could be done like repainting and refurbishing most especially the front of the
campus. There are also new building constructed to accommodate the growing population.
Be guided by these tasks as you do your observation. Then accomplish the matrix to record your
data.
1. Look at the walls of the classroom. What are posted on the walls? What heroes, religious
figures, lessons, visual aids, announcements, do you see posted?
2. Examine how the pieces of furniture are arranged. Where is the teacher’s table located? How
are the tables and chairs/desks arranged?

My Analysis_______________________________________________________________
How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact learning of the students
going to school? What are your conclusions?
The facilities of the school campus and the classroom greatly affect the students that
go to school, because if the school and classroom is improper the students will start
to think not to go to school. I would say that if the student is not comfortable or
satisfied of a certain school, he/she will get lazy and not be on school, but if the
student is comfortable or satisfied with the facilities of a school he/she will be more
eager to attend school.
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.
My Reflection ____________________________________________________________
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 environment.
A school that is conductive to learning is a school that has complete facilities that
will surely help and benefited by the student learners to understand the subject
matter they are studying.
3. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
For now, I will study hard so that I can be a good teacher in the future. If I have
good grades and right experiences I have no doubts that I can accomplish to become
a compassionate teacher by mind, heart and soul.
I learned that every student has their own reaction to the environment they are in,
that’s why the teacher’s should be complex and flexible to know that.
