An Observation Guide for a LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER
Learning resource center was a facility within a school which was operated
by a specialist and containing several information sources. It must be
developed and benefitted to educate all people and provide quality
education. It must have current resources for it is an avenue for
learning.
As I visit and observe the different learning resource center, the
learning resources that were available or present were computers,
textbooks, magazines, newspapers, television, articles, DVD player, tapes
and etc… All materials were properly arranged according to their types and
functions. It seems that all materials have a proper maintenance because
they were free any dust.
Every learning resource center has its own guidelines or procedures
and also rules. Those guidelines or procedure and rules do not involve great
exertion or discomfort on the part of the users because they were just easy
to adhere or practice.

Impression:
Learning resources are the materials used by teachers to enhance the skills
of students, help to discover the different aptitudes and it provides learning
experiences to the students. All learning resources must be contemporary
and the person in-charge must know how to efficiently utilize it because
learning resources support curriculum.
Name and Signature of Observer: JAY AR B. ASPERO
Analysis
1. Were the learning resource/materials arranged properly according to
their functions and characteristics?
All learning resources or materials were arranged properly according their
functions and characteristics. The books inside the library were properly
arranged as to their types and functions. The proper arrangement of
learning resources help the teachers and students to locate it and it brings
convenience to both teachers and students.
2. Do the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy access to the materials
by the teachers? Why? Why not?
The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials in such
a way that the guidelines and procedures do not involve great exertion or
discomfort on the part of the teachers or any users of it.
3. What are the strengths of this learning resource center?
Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted to educate all
people and provide quality education. It will become strong when the
person in-charge knows how to efficiently utilize it and the resources must
be sufficient and must be contemporary that will suit to the latest trends in
the society.
4. What are its weaknesses?
A learning resource center was only good as the resources they have and
the person running it so if a learning resource center has insufficient or
outdated resources it will be weak. If they have current resources but no
one knows how to efficiently utilize them so it will be also weak.
5. What suggestions can you make?
I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned and properly
managed so that it can function and give significant contribution to
developing learning society and establishing educated society. Learning
resource center must be designed according to the interest of students so
that their attention will be caught and it must be an information provider to
reinforce student’s learning.
Reflection
1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest
the most? Why?
It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly
arranged according to their types and functions. It seems that there was a
proper maintenance because most of the books were free from dust.

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

The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to
multimedia presentation were the gadgets or materials that give me a
strong belief in my own ability to use or operate it.
3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?
I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It is
important for me to be familiar and understand clearly its appropriateness
and effectiveness in delivering a topic.

An Observation Guide for Board Displays

Name of School Observed: Sagay National High School
Date of Visit: August 16, 2012
As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found out that
every classroom has its own board display. Some classrooms have a bulletin
board for birthdays of students, classroom cleaners, classroom officers,
classroom activities and announcement and the most common was the
board display that contains the topics to be discussed in a certain grading
period.
I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it was more
than that if I will examine the whole campus. Board displays were located in
front of the canteen, near the faculty room and also near the entrance gate.
Most of it was announcements, activities or events in school and etc… The
announcements were written in a formal way that everyone can quickly and
clearly understand , the information were arranged past to latest and the
materials used have a high quality that can last for a longer time. Board
display near the entrance of the gate was covered by a class, so as to give
protection to the content and materials used.
Messages were clear enough as I read it and it can be easily
understood because there were no misspelled words or any inconsistencies
in grammar.

Topic of the board displays: Buwan ng Wika and Science Month

Analysis
1. Did the board display design reflect the likes or interest of its target
audience? Why? or Why not?
Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the title
and the theme seem to be a student made. Since it is made by certain
students, so I can say that everything being posted are being reflected on
the likes or interest of its target audience because the main target audience
are also the students but it is not the totality because every student has its
own style. It simply means that one student is different from another
student in terms of their likes or interest.
2. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Or Why not?
Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read by
the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly seen.
The words used were appropriate to the level of the students where in the
students who will read it can understand its thought.
3. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it
effective? Why? Or Why not?
In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey
information to the students such as information about the content of the
subjects, proper hygiene, values information and latest trends in the society.
It also serves as motivation tool for the students to do their best and as I
look in it, it really works for it s purpose. By it designs it holds attention, the
contents were appropriate that provide learning information, and the
boards were not merely filled with written words but also pictures that
facilitates easy understanding.
4. What suggestions can you make?
I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought of
the sentence. The content must have something new that gives opportunity
to the student to participate or interact and it is important also to update
the content. It would be also nice to add more contents which will invite the
participation of the students aside from information that it conveys.

Theme:
ACTIVITY BOARD

Board title:
YOU ARE WANTED! PLEASE DO WHAT IS ASKED…

Rationale:
(purpose)
To enhance students’ participation in learning by using
board display and the ability of students in responding
to the questions posted.

Objectives:
The students will be able to provide answers on the
posted questions
The students will be able perform the activity being
posted
The students will be able have additional information or
learning aside from what is
discussed in the class

Best features of my propose bulletin enhancement:

It will consist of health information, trivia, and latest
educational trends in the society and activities for the
students to do.
 Content resources (name each needed resource and
give each a brief description):
Internet- sites with reliable information
Books- it could be from all types of subjects
Journals- those that are fitted to the level of the
students
Magazines- source for cut out letters and pictures
Students output- can be displayed in the board (must
be attractive, cogent and legible)

Materials for aesthetic enhancement:

Cartolina Cutting Materials
Construction Paper Indigenous Or
Recycled Materials
Cut Out Letters Pasting Materials
Pictures Coloring Material
Boarders

Reflection
1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come
up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
Creative– the teacher can create ideas in a limitless way
Informative– the board display must have varied yet appropriate
information
Idealistic– the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display
would look like and how it will work for the learning of the target
audience
Artistic- the teacher must have a sense of art in order to make an attractive
board display
Resourceful– resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the
enhancement of the board
2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences in
making board displays. How do you practice these skills?
I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative,
informative and artistic. It was high school days when I started making a
board display. The content was the whole topic that covers our third grading
period. I learn how to make boarders and design a letter specifically the Old
Text English Style because that was my favorite font text. It was my first
time to make a board display, thus I still need to improve and practice those
skills for future.
I practice those skills every time I do artworks such as making portfolios and
scrapbooks.
3. Which skills do you need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve
on or acquire these skills?
I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board
display I must know how to combine colors, make designs appropriate to
the theme and purposed of the board display, and to make it attractive. To
have an artistic skills, I must practice it while still a student, thus I must apply
it every time I’m doing an artworks such as portfolios and scrapbooks. There
is also a need for me to accept criticism from others towards my work in
order for me to develop or improve my work.
I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and magazines,
searching through internet, and most of all to be updated about the events
or happenings in this world.

Date of Observation: August 16, 2012

School: Sagay National High School
Subject: English
Grade/Year Level: Third Year
As I observe the class, the topic was about idiomatic expression using
participle. Through the use of visual aids, the teacher delivers her lesson
effectively. The topics were written in a manila paper and there was
legibility in the content because it can be quickly and clearly understood by
students sitting at the back. There was experiential learning that happens
inside the classroom and one of the reasons was that, students interact on
the learning materials that the teacher provides. The teacher let her
students read every detail in the visual aids, actually what was written on
the visual aid were questions for the students to be answered.
Many of them were raising their hands to answer questions and it
simply indicates the student’s attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.
As I closely observed the student’s simple gestures, it was inevitable for me
to conclude that they were interested on the lesson. The focus of their sight
was merely on the teacher and the learning resources, and some of them
were frowning maybe it’s because they were very doubtful or dissented
about the answer of their classmate. Those simple gestures of students
were the indication of attentiveness, eagerness and understanding.

Year Level of Class Observed: Third Year

Date Of Observed: August 16, 2012
Subject Matter: Idiomatic Expression Using Participle

Brief Description of Teaching Approach Used By the Teacher:

The inquiry approach was used as a teaching approach. Inquiry is a
recursive, ever revolving process driven by the learner’s ideas, questions and
purposes for learning begins with personal connection.

Analysis
1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the
materials/learning resources that she/ he used?
In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be
attentive and participative in their lesson, and also let her students utilize
their analytical skills. The instructional materials used were the perfect fit
because the purpose was accomplished. It really catches the attention of the
students and it aids the teacher’ intention. The instructional materials serves
as a clear representation that was capable of giving clear information,
through this, ht students were actively engaged in the discussion and the
teacher was trying to use her creativeness and resourcefulness to facilitate
the learning.
2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be
managed?
As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher experienced.
The class was well managed and the teacher did not find it hard to convince
her students to participate in the discussion and activity. There was an
interaction between the students and the teacher, and the teacher makes
sure that her students stay on task as observed.
3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why?
Why not?
Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering the
questions written in the visual aid and some of them were able to answer
what was asked. The teacher gives appreciation to those students who
answer the questions correctly and to those who were not able to give their
correct answer; the teacher gives feedback to improve learning. Through the
score of students on their quiz that shows a positive result, I can conclude
that learning material was used effectively.
Reflection
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 will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will also
provide activities in order for students to have an opportunity to practice
and apply their learning after learning a particular knowledge, skills and
attitudes. I will also use the same teaching approach which is the inquiry
approach.
If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept of
computer literacy for students has been redefined (creating web pages,
digitizing multimedia and the use of social networking sites) thus I have to
be aware of this trends, as my own teaching effectiveness will depend on my
understanding of these recent technological trends. With this reason, I will
create a game through the use of projector in a way that has relation to the
tropic. I will also present a power point presentation that contains my topic
for that day. Through this, the students will be attentive and participative in
the lesson and it brings convenience to my part. If the resources are not
available, I will use the chalkboard and I will provide them an interactive
activity by dividing them into groups to be followed by a short discussion,
this is to facilitate the visual, auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners.
After I implement the instruction, I will evaluate students by providing an
assessment method that is suited to the needs and interest of the students
in order for me to measure the retention of students if they have achieved
mastery, and to know if I’m going to proceed or revise the instruction.

An Observation/Survey Guide
Name of the School Observed: Sagay National High School
Date of Visit: August 16, 2012
Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my
chosen topic which was the parts and functions of microscope. As I parts
and functions of microscope as my topic I also choose several learning
resources such as chalkboard, books, power point presentation, mock ups,
realia, photocopies, pictures and visual aids. I choose those several learning
resources because for my topic because I believe that it can help me achieve
my lesson objectives and to maximize learning inside the classroom. Since
my topic is about parts and functions of microscope, so I can say that
available materials are appropriate for my target year level which is the
second year.
Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make flash
cards, cut out letters, and as much as possible learning resources that are
made from indigenous or recyclable materials.

I Use graphic organizer to present the learning resources relevant to the

topic chosen. On the line inside the box, I indicate if the resource is already

Topic: Parts and Functions of Microscope Grade/Year
Level: 2nd year
Analysis
Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before
making your own materials your own materials? Explain each
1. Doing survey of available materials will give me a new idea of
what to make and how to make it. There may be unique learning materials
that could be beneficial to the lessons that I will be teaching, and by looking
at the other materials can have additional information on what to do.
Through survey I can gain competence in preparing instructional materials
that are appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives and
learning styles of my students.
2. Doing survey can help me realize what other learning materials
that I need to make or avail in order to enhance learning in my class. Doing
surveys provide several options as well as bases for me to choose so that I
can produce an appropriate and effective materials that should be based on
students characteristics or learning styles and to my lesson objectives. It is
also necessary that the materials must be applicable to the subject matter.
3. Doing survey may also help me evaluate the materials I will be
making is beneficial or relevant to my lesson. The information that I have
gathered during the survey will serve as my bases or guide on how I am
going to evaluate my materials. It is important for me to evaluate the
materials that I will be making so that I can produce an improved and
developed materials based from the evaluation I have made, with this
reason I can gain competence in making instructional materials that are
appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives, and learning styles
of my students.
Reflection
Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why?
I like making power point presentations because it’s easy for me to put
different graphic designs, effects and transitions. I can also insert pictures,
video clips and even sounds. My purpose of selecting power point
presentation among other instructional materials is to make a clear
representation and while presenting a topic, it is necessary for me to
monitor and facilitate to make sure that students stay on task. I believe that
making power point presentations aids in enhancing creativity.
What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did
you overcome them?
I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the power
point program has a guide on how to use it. Making a presentation using
power point program is just an easy task for me. The only thing which I
consider a problem for me is on how I’m going to deliver the content in my
presentation.
What tips can you give teachers regarding presentation of teaching?
The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her
students. She/he must see to it that his/her materials will fit to the learning
styles of the students and must be applicable for his/her subject matter for
the materials to be effective. The chosen materials must be appropriate and
can contribute to the achievement of learning objectives. In today’s
generation, it is important for a teacher to meet the changing needs and
interest of students, thus several factors must consider such as practicality,
availability, cost effectiveness and appropriateness that is based on
student’s characteristics or learning styles and lesson objectives. The
teacher may also do surveys to the available materials or can search through
the internet.

Cooperating School: Sagay National High School
My Target
At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in preparing
instructional materials (hand –out) that are appropriate to the learning
content.
Subject Matter: Types of Chemical Reactions
Grade/Year Level: 3rd year
Outline:
Combination reactions– in this type of reaction two or more substances
maybe element or compound react to form a single product.
The combination of iron and sulfur to form iron (II) sulfide is an example of a
synthesis reaction:
8 Fe + S8 → 8 FeS
Decomposition reactions– this type of reaction occurs when a compound
breaks up into its component parts. It can be two or more substances out of
a compound
The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas is an example of a
decomposition reaction:
2 H2O → 2 H2 + O2
Replacement reactions– this type of reaction occurs when an element is set
free from its compound producing a new element and new compound.
An example of a substitution reaction occurs when zinc combines with
hydrochloric acid. The zinc replaces the hydrogen:
Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
Double replacement reactions- a type of reaction in which two compounds
combined to form two new compounds by exchanging their radicals.
An example of a double displacement reaction occurs between sodium
chloride and silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride.
NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

Analysis
1. After working on your handout, answer the following questions:
What are the good features of a handout?
A good handout must be concise and can be understood by the readers.
There must be subtitles that make it easier to read and the key words must
be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. To shorten it, the use of bullet
point format may contribute as well as the use of diagrams, flowcharts and
etc… Make sure that all the important pints of the presentation are on the
hand out and do not include too much information, otherwise it can become
cluttered. The content must be easily recognized and it must be sequence
properly to avoid confusion. The content must have legibility.
2. Which of these features are present in the hand out I made?
Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise
and comprehensive. The key concepts were emphasized because they are in
bold type. I also use bullets, concept map. I contained all the important
points of the presentation and I sequenced the details properly to avoid
misconceptions.
The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of
chemical reactions.
3. Which features are not present in the handout I made?
Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My
penmanship was not good enough to make my handout very attractive to
the eyes of the readers, yet there is a chance to enhance its legibility by
using one of the applications of a computer specifically the Microsoft word
office.
I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not
necessary to use subtitles for that subject matter.
Reflection
What difficulties, if any, did you encounter been making the handouts? How
did you overcome them?
To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable source
or references and assistance from a computer. The only thing that took time
and needed brain storming is the conceptualization of the flow of the
handout and the concept map that I included. So first I did was to make an
outline of the content of my handout then I read several references and
searching through the internet just to form my concept map.
I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions. So
what I did was to read and understand the details in every chemical reaction
so that I can give correct examples.
What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts?
The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making the
handout. Then he/she must conceptualize the flow and the content of the
handout by making an outline. The teacher must also read several
references so that the handout will be an informative tool for the students
learning.
In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in
order for the students to read it easily and the keywords must be in bold
type in order to have an emphasis. Bullet point format and concept map
must be use to summarize the content. The teacher must put all the
important points in the handout and he/she must not include too much
information to avoid cluttering. The teacher must know how to sequence
the content in order to avoid confusions

My Target
At the end of this activity, I will gain competence in developing and
utilizing materials (slide presentations) which involve students in meaningful
learning.

Analysis
1. What are the good features of a slide presentation?
A good slide should include transitions or effects to put
emphasis on some points of the lesson, but not too many. It must have also
one design or theme for whole slides to avoid confusion or any
misconception. The slides must not too long, nor too short to avoid
cluttering in the slides. A pictures speaks thousands words, hence photos
must be included in the slides to let students know what I am talking about.
The contents of the slides are important points of the lesson and must not
include the whole words that I have to say for the whole discussion.
2. Which of these features are present in the slide presentation you
made?
The features that are present in my slide presentation that I
have made are the transitions, effects, only one theme or design for the
whole slide and also pictures that help students visualize their thoughts or
ideas.
My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I give
emphasis on the contents because they are the important points of my
lesson.
3. Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made?
All those good features of a slide presentation that I have cited
are present in my slide presentation. I did not mention the sound effects
and music, for me it is not essential to use all the time because it brings
distraction to my discussion. There are times that music and sound effects
are highly needed especially in presenting a video presentation
Reflection
1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide
presentation? How did you overcome them?
Making power point presentation is very interesting to me because I can do
most that I wanted to do to make my slides a clear representation and as a
tool of information sources. So far, there were no difficulties that I have
encountered because the program has guides on how to use its features. If
there is a certain feature which I don’t know how to use, then I just simply
click help or go to a website specifically the Google to find the answer if
there is an internet access.

Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students, I must ensure

first that those topic and activities are consistent in my learning objectives. I
must also give proper instruction to the students before they search such
websites by explaining to them the learning goals to be achieved before
searching any websites so that the students will stay focused during the
activity. When students get confused, I must provide guidance and
directions, guide questions and activities or scenarios. It is also important to
have a follow up discussions to make some generalizations for that topic.
Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective. Upon
surfing on the internet, I saw many websites that have programs to make
learning fun and effective. Some of the websites have games and other has
tutorial programs but aside from those benefits, internet access may also be
dangerous to the learners. From the websites I visited, some of the learning
is incorporated with violence games and pornographic photos and videos
which are not good influence to the students. Using internet as an
information tool is good and effective but proper supervision of the teacher
is highly needed and before giving the topic or any activity to be searched, I
must check first the websites and choose those that are safe for the
students.
Over All Reflection
As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in my mind
that learners are rich in learning capabilities. The process of learning are
highly unique and individual, this means that in a classroom there are
individual differences that I must consider. I need to assist my future
students to define and to make explicit to themselves the approaches they
ordinarily use so that they can become more effective in problem solving
and learning. I learned that one of the riches resources for learning is the
learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation of experiences, ideas,
feelings and attitude which comprise a rich vein of material for problem
solving and learning. I consider learners as the richest resources for learning
because they have their own aptitude which are their innate talent or gift ,
interest which express deep feelings for objects or actions and made their
stay pleasant and enjoyable, they also have their own ability which pictates
the prospect of success in any purposeful activity, attitude which is the
learners perspective and disposition and last their family or cultural
background which is their socio-economic background.
I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal
meaning and relevance of ideas. As a future teacher, I will only facilitate my
learners and they are the one who will give the meaning of a concept. Just
like for example, my topic is all about the leaf of a plant. I will let them have
field trip outside the classroom to observe the leaf of a plant. I will guide
them and I will demonstrate first and give some information about the leaf
and its parts after that, they will give their own meaning or understanding
about the leaf and its parts. Learning is gradual it’s because it is by stages or
levels so as a future teacher someday I must extend my patience.
To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my work
and to my students, I must have also humor in a way that has connection to
the topic, also values and attitude, fairness, sincerity and honesty, and
professionalism.
