FS 1 Episode 5 Creating An Appropriate Learning Environment Done
This learning Episode provides an opportunity to examine how classrooms are structured or
designed to allow everyone’s maximum participation for effective learning. You should be
able to examine how classroom management practices affect learning. This episode
enhances the application of the theories learned in the following professional subject such
as Facilitating Learner-Centered Teaching and The Child and Adolescent Learners and
Learning Principles.
The classroom climate that is conductive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet
business-like. It is a classroom service where, when creating audio-visual presentations, the
following are observed:
Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear.
Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures.
Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for
such are communicated.
Classroom processes are democratic.

Activity 5.1 Managing Time, Space and learning Resources
OBSERVE
Observed and use the observation sheet provided for you to document your observations.
1. As you observed the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note their
ages.
Answer: As I observed the students and by looking by their characteristics they
are ages 14-16 years old.
3. Focus on their behavior. Are they able to manage their own behavior?
Answer: the students in this period of time must know how to manage their
behaviors. They know how to address on the people that surrounds them they
have social intelligences. Also they participate actively and to their part in the
learning process.
1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids, books,
students’ belongings, supplies, etc.)? Describe this area. Will it make a difference if these
areas for specific purposes are not present?
Answer:There are areas in the classroom for specific purposes like the supplies and trash
corners. This will make a difference if these areas for specific purposes are not present the
classroom will be filthy and can be a risks on health for anyone in the classroom
2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these rules
reinforce positive behavior?
Answer: Due to the DepEd Order during “Brigada Eskwela 2023” the teachers are not
allowed to post anything in the walls of the classroom. But there are left like “Honesty is
the best policy” in the front above the blackboard. This rule reinforces positively to the
behavior to remind them that cheating is prohibited and not tolerated in the school.
3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If the resource teacher is
available, ask him/her to describe the process. What’s the effect of the students’
participation in rule-making on student’s behavior?
Answer: Since they're the ones who are participating in this practice, students were
involved in the creation of their classroom rules. The majority of students will adhere to
the regulations that they helped to create.
4. What are the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher? (prayer, attendance,
assignment of monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) How are they done?
Answer: the daily routines done by the Resource Teacher are mostly greetings and
classroom management. When he enters the classroom the class will greet and he will
check for pieces of papers in the classroom then update the group score.
5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this help in
managing the class?
Answer: there are specific seating arrangement that my resource teacher uses. The basis
of the arrangement is bases on the groupings per quarter and also does help and big role
in managing the class.
8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (behavior strategies)
Answer: The Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors is giving them reward or
equivalent group score in every significant positive behaviors like answering correctly and
monitoring cleanliness in the group area.

Analyze
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners’ behavior?
Answer: Clasroom organization and routines play a crucial role in shaping learners behavior. When a
classroom is well-organized with clear expectations and routines, students fell more secure and
confident. Those routines also provide order leading to improved focus and engagement,
Additionally, allowing students to stay ion task and make the most of the learning process.
2. What should the teacher have in mind when she/he designs the classroom organization and
routines? What theories and principles should you have in mind?
Answer: When designing classroom organization and routines, teachers should consider several key
factors:
3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the leaners? In motivating
students? Why were they effective?
Answer: the behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the leaners Positive are
first. Reinforcement Offering praise, rewards, or privileges for desired behaviors can motivate
students to continue demonstrating those behaviors. Positive reinforcement acknowledges students’
efforts and achievements, making them feel valued and encouraged to repeat the behavior.
Next is establishing a positive classroom. Cultivating a supportive and inclusive classroom
environment where students feel safe, respected, and valued can enhance motivation and behavior.
Building strong relationships with students, fostering a sense of belonging, and promoting
collaboration can create a sense of community and investment in learning.These strategies are
effective because they address the psychological needs of students, such as the desire for
competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Additionally, by providing structure, support, and
acknowledgment of effort and achievement, these strategies contribute to a positive and conducive
learning environment.
Reflect
Reflect on the following and write your insights.
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade level do you see yourself?
What routines and procedures would you consider for this level Why?
Answer: In the future, I could see myself organizing a classroom at the elementary school level,
perhaps around grades 3-5. At this grade level, students are typically becoming more independent
while still benefiting from structure and clear routines. Routines and procedures I will consider for
this level are first the morning routine. This helps students transition into the school day smoothly
and sets a positive tone for learning. Next is the classroom job, assigning classroom jobs to
students on a rotating basis helps foster a sense of responsibility and community. Lastly is the, End-
of-Day Routine, implementing an end-of-day routine for packing up, organizing materials, and
reflecting on the day’s learning. This helps students transition out of the school day and reinforces
the importance of organization and reflection.
2. Make a list of the rules you are likely you implement in this level. Why would you choose these
rules?
Answer: Here are some rules I would likely implement in an elementary school classroom (grades 3-
5):
1. Respect Others: Treat classmates, teachers, and staff with kindness, consideration, and respect.
This includes using polite language, listening attentively when others are speaking, and valuing
each other’s opinions and differences.
2. Raise Your Hand: Raise your hand and wait to be called on before speaking or leaving your seat.
This promotes orderly communication and helps prevent disruptions during instruction or
discussions.
3. Follow Directions: Listen carefully to instructions from teachers and follow them promptly and
completely. Following directions is essential for a smoothly functioning classroom and ensures
that students understand and complete assignments correctly.
4. Stay on Task: Focus on your work and stay engaged in learning activities. Avoid distractions and
use class time wisely to maximize learning opportunities.
5. Take Care of Materials: Handle classroom materials, supplies, and equipment with care and
respect. Clean up after yourself and return materials to their proper places when you’re finished
using them.
I would choose these rules because they address essential aspects of behavior and conduct
necessary for a positive and productive classroom environment. These rules promote respect,
responsibility, safety, and engagement, laying the foundation for a supportive learning community
where all students can thrive academically and socially.
Directions: Read the items given below and encircle the correct answer.
A. “Those who were noisy today during seatwork will not be allowed to play games in the
computer later.”
B. “If it takes you longer to finished the seatwork because time is wasted with chatting, then
we won’t have time to go to the playground anymore.”
C. “Those who are well-behaved in class will be given plus 5 points in the quiz.”
D. “If you got a grade of 95 or higher in the first two assignments, you will be exempted from
the 3rd assignment.”
