OBSERVATION REPORT
Name of the School Observed: Abuyog South Central School
Location of the School: Nalibunan, Abuyog Leyte
Date of Visit:

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.

Recommendations or suggestions for improvements:

In making a bulletin board, aside

the topic and arranged it properly.

Your Analysis
1. Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience?
9
 The bulletin board designs reflect to the interest of the learners because it
gives information clearly by putting several pictures related to the topic.
The whole bulletin board is attractive where all students may amaze while
reading its content.

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

Yes. The language used in the bulletin board was clear and simple that the
target audience could understand immediately. It uses information which
was clear to the learners and the font size was also clear that can be seen
few meters away.

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

The purpose of the board display is motivational and decorative. This is

motivational because the message can motivate the learners to perform
better and have greater confidence to promote peace and order in their
early age. It is decorative because it will add beauty in the atmosphere of
the school if it was creatively made.

4. What suggestions can you make?

I suggest that in making bulletin board we should consider the neatness

and the proper arrangement of the pictures. The purpose of the bulletin
board should deal three purposes- the decorative, motivational and
instructional purposes, so that it makes learner to get better learning from
it.

Your Portfolio
 Based on your suggestions, make your own display lay-out. You may present
output through any of these:
 A hand drawing or layout
 An electronic(computer) drawing/illustration or layout
 A collage

My Board Display Lay-out

11
Your Reflections

1. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with
effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

Teachers should have this skills in making a board display:

a. Creative
Instructional content can be dry and boring I the classroom setting.
Creative teachers try to present concepts and content in an interesting way.
b. Visual Skills
Teachers are somewhat like interior designers; they must be able to
visualize the presentation and impact they want to create, and then apply
those to the display.
c. Organizational Skills
It includes comparing and contrasting, grouping and arranging content in a
meaningful way.
d. Communication
Teachers know that words combined with visual content can often
communicate more than words alone. As well the teacher must be a good
communicator.
e. Minimalistic views
Good teachers know they must minimize content to the basic building
blocks they want to teach. Rather than a display aimed at students who
understand the most, the best, or the easiest, the display would be geared
to include students who understand the least, the poorest, and the hardest.

2. Which of the skills you named in # 1 do you already have? Recall your past
experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

The skills that I have are the visual skills, organizational skill and the skill
of minimalistic views. I do practice these skills everyday by improving it
and helping others to gain such skills.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on
how you can improve on or acquire these skills?

The skills that I still to developed are the creativity and communication
skills. I think still need to improve my creativity skills because based on
my output I observed that my work that was not very colorful and
attractive.

eagerness and understanding?
5. Focus on their non-verbal responses. Are they leaning forward
showing their interest on the lesson and the materials? Are they
looking towards the direction of the teacher and the materials?
Do their actions show attentiveness, eagerness and
understanding?

Observation Report
School: Abuyog South Central, Elementary School Grade-5

During our observation in elementary South Central School, the teacher reviews
first the class about their topic last meeting. After that, she introduces the new lesson. She
uses tablet for delivering the instruction and white board for taking notes the important

1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning

resources that she/he used?

15
 I think the teacher prompted to use the material because she already know
the subject matter that she will be going to discuss and she already knows
if what the learning materials/resources she will used. Another reason is
the teacher has already the stock of instructional materials in her bank so
she can easily get these in its bank by the times that she needs to use these.

2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?

I the only problem was encountered by the teacher was the behavior of the
students the teacher manages the behavior of the students through
disciplining the students. He gives some punishment to them such as
decrease of scores in daily quiz.

3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why

not?

The learning materials are used effectively in the class. Even though he
has no visual aids, the teacher still got the positive response from the class
by letting his students do some activities through their smartphones as the
source of information. The student pay their attention to the learning
material because using of this instructional material is the only way of
getting more learning.

Your Reflection

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

If I were the place of the teacher, I’ll find ways to get the learners attention
in using learning materials. Similarly o his strategy, I will use the
instructional materials in relevance to the lesson that I will be going to
discuss in the class so that the learners can acquire better learning.
Differently, I will make instructional materials which are more attractive
to the learners. I will improve his style in teaching with the used of
instructional materials, instructional materials should be very attractive
that could catch the learners attention.

OBSERVATION NOTES

Name of the School Observed: Abuyog South Central, Elementary School

School Address: Nalibunan, Abuyog, Leyte
Date of Visit: September 10, 2017

When we visited Abuyog South Central, Elementary School, we saw

different kinds of printed materials like books, modules and magazines aside
from the printed materials the learning center has also computer, television and
radio. These learning materials are very useful in delivering instruction. The
available materials that we saw in the learning resource center are appropriate in
our target grade level. The materials that are useful in our topic are the books
and modules. The materials that we can make are the flip charts, flash cards,
picture cards, word cards and pocket cards.

Your Analysis
 Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making
your own materials? Explain each.

1. LESS EXPENCES; Surveying of available materials before making your own

materials is important because it will help us lessen our expenses. By doing a
survey it will help me determine the materials that are available and materials that
are not available. It will help me know what materials that are needed to be made
and bought. Through this I can exactly buy the materials that are enough in
making my own instructional materials. In this I can be sure that the materials I
bought will all be used exactly. So, buy doing a survey we will lessen our
expenses because we already know what materials are needed to bought.

2. LESS EFFORT AND TIME; conducting a survey can lessen our effort and
time. Again, by conducting a survey we will learn what materials are available
and not available. If we will make instructional materials directly without
knowing that there are also available materials on what you have just made, then,
you are just wasting your time and effort. It is very important to conduct a survey
so that we will know what materials are available that will be appropriate for topic
so that we will no longer make another one, but instead we will reuse or improve
the existing materials. In this way we can lessen our time and effort.

3. By conducting a survey we can GATHER INFORMATION on how to improve

and beautify our own instructional materials. If we conduct a survey, we will
know the things on how the instructional materials were made. We can also know
the weaknesses and strength of the materials. In connection to this, the
information that we have gathered will be used to apply for the future making of
better, durable and more beautiful instructional materials.

Your Reflection

19
 1. Which of the materials did you like to make the most? Why?

Among the materials that I had made, I like making the most was the flip
chart. I love making the flip chart because I enjoyed cutting and pasting
the pictures of my flip chart. I also enjoyed watching and deciding on what
color I will use in my flip chart as a background. Aside from it, I also
enjoy writing even though my penmanship is not good.

2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did
you overcome them?

The difficulties that encountered in making my instructional materials

were the color combinations and the lack of exact budget. In the color
combinations, it gave me a hard time to decide what color to used, but
with the help of the color wheel and the suggestions of my friends I still
overcome those difficulties and I came-up to a nice color combinations. In
the budget, though we are all suffering from financial difficulties, God still
provide the budget to buy my materials in making my instructional
materials.

3. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching materials?

The tips that I can give to teachers regarding in the preparation of teaching
materials is first they must plan and decide of what instructional materials
they will be making after conducting a survey. Plan and decide the
materials and color combinations needed to be bought so that the exact
materials can be bought exactly and lessen expenses. Second, be sure that
the materials you made are durable so that after using you can keep the
materials and may use it by the time you have a relevant topic, in this way
you can reduce effort and time. Lastly, we must prepare the materials
ahead of time so that we could come up to a materials that is not done in a
rush way.

Your Analysis

After working with your handout, answer the following questions:

1. What are the good features of a hand-out?

The good features of hand-out are :

a. Strong Title- this will convince the presenter to explore or encourage

reading the subject matter due to its interesting title.
b. Easy to follow- a hand-out should be on a progressive order so that
pupils/student can easily follow the discussion.
c. Keyword in a bold type- use to emphasize or identify the important ideas
to be presented in the class.
 d. No more than two fonts in a document- to have text uniformly and
cleanliness of the hand-out.
e. Clear-undeterred hand-out-the hand-out should be neat, clear and
uncrumpled.
f. Subtitles make easier to read- to give value or importance to the word,
so that it will easy to read.

2. Which of these features are present in the hand-out I made?

The features that are present to my handout are:

a. Strong title- the title of my handout is strong and interesting.

b. Easy to follow- my handout is easy to follow because it is on the format of a
progressive order of ideas.
c. Keyword in a bold type- I emphasize the important words of my handout by
bolding it.
d. Subtitles make easier to read- I made my subtitle bold, in large font size and
use a bullet form so that it will be visible to read.

3. Which of these features are not presented in the hand-out I made?

The feature that are not presented in my handout are:

1. No more than two font in the document- in my handout I used three

different font styles.
2. Clear-undeterred handout- this is not present in my handout because
my handout is not very neat.

Your Reflection

1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the handouts? How did
you overcome them?

The difficulties that I have been encountered in making my handout are-

first, I really don’t have the idea on how to make a good successful
handout. It takes me to two to three hours suffering the net looking for the
criteria of a good handout. I collect the ideas that I had searched in the
internet and ask my classmates if the information was correct. In this way
I overcome this difficulty.

23
 2. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of teaching handouts?

The tips that I can give to teachers in making a handout are; first, the
teacher consider the different good features of a handout that includes
strong title, easy to follow, keywords should be in bold type, no more than
two fonts in the document, clear- uncluttered handout and subtitles should
easy to read. Second the handout that the teacher must make is simple but
elegant; the topic should be easily recognized and clearly made. The
specific ideas and lessons must be related to the topic and clear
information and explanation should be given. Third, make sure that he
objectives of your topic must fit to the level of learners you are targeting.
