approach are useful
both to the student
and the teacher it can
be a source of lesson
for the teacher and
students can develop
their reading skills and
for some reason they
can be ended up liking
reading books. This
way they can discover
their personal
interests and styles
when it comes to
studying.
- Non-electronic Visuals
Aids approach are
useful for teachers
because in this way
they can made the
lesson realistic, be
more effective and
easy to understand.
This kind of approach
can catch the
attention of the
students easily. In the
students side this
approach is also
useful for them
because they we’re
able to experience the
reality of their lesson
and easy for them to
understand and
picture out.
 Impressions: The school has resources that are very important to the teaching – learning process.
Electronic resources were used as means of learning new concepts and new ideas to the learner. The
Learning Resource Center is sufficient enough to the needs of the students and it is a conducive
resource center. Resources will help a lot in the learning of the students and also motivates them.

ANALYSIS

1. Where are the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their functions and
characteristics?

- The resources or the materials were being arranged properly. They have a special room for
learning computer concepts and all the specimens, data, models and mock ups were put in their
science room for their science activities. The resources are displayed according to its function
and you can easily look it up.

2. Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers? Why? Why
not?

- The resources can be easily access and you can easily find it, the resources are always
available for both teachers and students. When they want to access a resource you can always
ask for assistance in the person in-charge for example in the library you can ask the librarian
when you want to borrow books there are some rules to be followed so that the book will be in a
good hands, it is a proper discipline also for the students. Upon on using the internet, some sites
are not available.

3. What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?

- The strengths of this Learning Resource Center is that it can easily accessible by both students
and teachers. It has all variety of books that can help them and a source of knowledge.

4. What are its weaknesses?

- Its weaknesses are lacking of manpower to facilitate well the LRC keep it well organized.
5. What suggestions can you make?

- I suggest that the LRC should adopt new technologies and some of the books are old they need
to replace it with new revised book cause there might be some added knowledge to the book
that the old version didn’t have.

REFLECTIONS

1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest the most? Why?

- It is the things and charts that are pasted on the wall of the classroom because every corner has
a charts or picture base on a subject matter it is well arranged properly.

2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?

- The books. Computer, projector and other multi-media functions were the gadgets and materials
that I am confident to use and operate well.

3. Which one do you feel you need to learn about?

- In video presentations and editing videos. I need to enhance my skills to that matter.

4. Read an article about your answer in number 3. Paste a copy of the article here.

- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia; Animoto is a cloud-based video creation service that
produces video from photos, video clips, and music into video slideshows. Animoto is based in
New York City with an office in San Francisco. Animoto can be used in education for countless
projects and presentations. Students can use the tool to present a concept. A teacher could use
the video as an introduction to a lesson. A teacher could also use the tool to teach a concept or
the tool itself to other educators.

 Field Study 3 Technology in the Learning Environment

ANALYSIS

1. Did the board display design reflect the like/interest of its target audience? Why? Why not?

- It cannot somehow get the likes and interest of the audience because the board display is way
too simple but it disseminates information in the students and the teacher.

2. Was the language used clear and simple for the target to understand? Why? Why not?

- Yes, because the language being used are understandable by an individual and it’s can be
useful for reading comprehension because you are reading updates or some key points in the
bulletin board display. It presented the information well.

3. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why not?

- In my own point of view the purpose of the board display are to get some key points, information
and updates about the school community in this area some reminders are posted and help
everybody to notify. The broadcasting of the information or some reminders can be spread out
easily. Board are effective to the student’s because they will be motivated to look through the
bulletin board for them to become updated.

4. What suggestion can you make?

- Bulletin board are the corner wherein the students can be notify and get some updates that’s
why the board must be catchy to the audience who are viewing it. Creativity and neat fullness
are the way to make it catchier. The information also posted must be clear and easy to
understand and can be readable by your audience
Bulletin Board Display

Theme:
- Effects of Drugs
Board title:
- Symptoms of abuse
Rationale:
- The very purpose of this board display is to inform the students and the readers about
the effects of drugs and what are the symptoms that the drug are being abused.
Objective:
- To provide additional information about the awareness of the drugs effect.
- To know the effects of drugs and the symptoms that it is being abused.
Best features of my proposed bulletin enhancement:
- It will consist information and trivia for the audience about the drugs so that they will be
aware and their information about it will broad.
Content resources:
- Internet – sites with reliable information.
- National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) – information about drugs
- Students output- can be displayed in the board (must be attractive, cogent and legible)
Materials for authentic enhancement:
 Cartolina
 Cut out papers
 Glue

D.R.U.G.S.
Other physical effects of drug addiction
include:

 Contraction of HIV, hepatitis and

other illnesses.
 Heart rate irregularities, heart attack.
 Respiratory problems such as lung
cancer, emphysema and breathing
problems.
 Abdominal pain, vomiting,
constipation, diarrhea.
 Kidney and liver damage.

 Hallucinations.
 Paranoia.
 Dilated pupils.
 Chills and sweating.
 Involuntary shaking (tremors)
 Behavior changes.
 Muscle cramping and teeth clenching.
 Reduced inhibitions.
 Reflections

1.) Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board display.
Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
- For a teacher be able to come up with an effective board display he/she should have the
following skills:
- Creative – to come up with an effective board display creativeness is a must, because the board
must be catchy to the eye of the audience.
- Artistic – this skill is also a need for being an artistic has to come up with the design of the board
display and it should be presentable and well organized.
- Resourceful – a teacher must be resourceful because a board display can cost a lot of money,
but being resourceful is just another way to lessen the expenses during designing it.
- Imaginative – a teacher must have a wide and broad imagination to come up with an effective
board display. The design and the output must be in his/her heard already even if he/she
doesn’t started it.

2.) Which skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences in making board displays. How do you
practice these skills?
- I am a resourceful, artistic and imaginative person. It was high school days when we started
making board display because in our classroom we need to provide our own board display, also
in my college days I am still making board display especially in the office that I am assigned at (I
am a student assistant). We need to make a board display so that we can be informed about the
announcements. Thus my skills are still lacking I need to improve it more.

3.) Which skills do you still need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve on or acquire these skills.
- I still need to improve being artistic and imaginative because sometimes the design that what is
on my mind didn’t meet its expectation because I am just ruining the whole idea. In being an
artistic I need to know how to create beautiful cut out papers and making my presentation neat
and clean.
III – Utilization of Teaching Aids

UTILIZATION OF TEACHING AID FORMS

Grade/Year Level of Class Observed: Grade 3 Morning Session of Jose P. Rizal Elementary School
Date of Observation: January 30, 2017
Subject Matter: English
Brief description of Teaching Approach Used by the Teacher:
Integrated approach because the teacher connects her lesson in another lesson in the same lessons. She
uses another strategy which is connecting the lesson in English to Filipino because that subject matter are
just connected to each other.

students students.

ANALYSIS

1.) What do you think prompted the teacher to choose materials/learning resources that he/she used?
- The teacher does not want only the children to give information to learn she also want that the
children need to read and be participative in the class.
2.) What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experienced? How can this be managed?
- The difficulties I’ve encountered during making materials is to come up with a clean visual and
my handwritings are not so good that’s why the visual looks messy not neat and clean, but I am
trying my very best to improve my handwriting skills. When presenting or reporting I will just print
my visuals and put some designs, that the way I am managing it.
3.) Over-all, were the learning resource/materials used effectively? Why/
- Yes, because the students can clearly understand the lesson and the materials used are
presented nicely that’s why the students are learning something.
 REFLECTIONS

Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you do differently
if you will teach the same lesson to the same group of students. Why?

- If I were put on the place of the teacher, I will imitate what just the teacher did because honestly
her teaching style and techniques are effectively working. The things that will do differently are
grouping the children and then give some instruction and collaborate with each other and I will
also put a game that is also connected to the lesson so that the children will not get bored during
the discussion

 ANALYSIS

1.) What are the features of a good presentation?

- A good presentation must be catchy the captions must be not that long you must have 7 words
per slide and 4 – 5 paragraphs in a slide also. The presentation must not be boring at all times.
The key points must be emphasized and it must be readable by our naked eye.

2.) Which of these features are present in the slide presentation?

- Almost all of the features are in my slide it is clearly stated there.

3.) Which features are not present in the slide presented you made?

- I have long sentences in my presentation; I didn’t put some transitions and animations; the
colors that I use are just black and white so that it could match the background.

REFLECTIONS

What difficulties, if any did you encounter in making the slide presentation you made?

- I did not encounter any difficulties in making my power point presentation I just have a hard time
in balancing the pictures and picking a good picture for the presentation.
