LEARNING EXPERIENCE II

The Classroom for Learning

Learning Experience 2 was supposed to bring you face-to-face with the

actual world of
learning for the basic education of children. As you have experienced as a young
learner, the
classrooms serve as your home in the school. Here is where the learners are exposed
to
strategies that can effectively nurture the developmental stage they are in. LE2
then focuses on
the classroom structure and displays used by teachers. Observe how a teacher
structures a
classroom in order to promote active learning for the developmental level of their
students.

2.1 EXPOSURE
OBSERVING FEATURES OF TWO CLASSROOMS OF DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS

Try to remember your most favorite classrooms when you were still in
elementary/high school.
Choose classrooms of two different levels (e.g. Grade 7 and Grade 9 classroom)
which you
could still remember really well and accomplish this task. Using the Classroom
Resources
Checklist below, note down the features/displays found in each classroom. Separate
your
observation notes for the two classrooms. Check the YES column if present or
available in the
classroom.

3. What could have significantly made the type of resources in the two classrooms
different?
 ● It's different kinds and arrangements of all furniture, displays, and
teaching aids
because of the year level. Also, some teachers prefer to be more simply
than full
of those resources.
● Second, It depends on the guidelines from the head of the school. That's
why
teachers are not allowed to put everything inside the classroom; they
must
follow the guidelines.
● Lastly, Lack of space because public schools usually have a large
population of
students so not all of that resources were put inside the classroom.

2.5 DISSEMINATION
DESIGNING AN IDEAL CLASSROOM STRUCTURE THAT CAN PROMOTE ACTIVE
LEARNING FOR A GIVEN DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE

Based on the observations you have made of classrooms in your school, reflect on
what can be
an ideal classroom that can promote active learning for a given grade.

● Write a narrative of your idea of a classroom for a grade level of your choice.
Given the
characteristics of your learners, describe what the classroom should have and
what
activities you can make them do inside this classroom.

GROWTH PORTFOLIO ENTRY 2A

My Idea of a Classroom for Grade 10

My Idea of a classroom for Grade 10 as a future educator I need to be a key in

creating a
positive learning environment. A classroom with a good layout facilitates learning
and
success. And have an intellectual environment where the students have the
opportunity to
grow and develop physically and emotionally during this important time of their
lives. In order
to provide this type of environment for the students. So, I will set up the
classroom with such
a good ambiance and organize all materials. My classroom should have rules and
regulations, learner's lockers, teacher lockers, learner's desk, bookshelves with
book
cabinets, teacher corner, bulletin board, attendance , best work, honor roll, and
also kits like
first aid kits, arts kits, etc. I will make my expectations for my ideal classroom
clear, and the
consequences for going against my expectations equally as clear. The basis of the
classroom will be built on mutual respect and trust. I plan on creating this mutual
trust and
respect by developing close relationships with all of the students. Through these
close
relationships, I plan on using students’ interests and strengths to make my ideal
classroom
and assignments as interesting for students as possible. I also plan to make
students feel as
though they are a crucial factor in the classroom unit as a whole. I think students
are
basically good, although some students may have disruptive tendencies. Students are
just
seeking approval and attention. I believe these students may need some guidance to
behave
appropriately in my classroom, so I will make sure they know how important being
respectful
is because through this students build their feelings of trust, safety and well
being. Lastly,
Discipline of the students through this helps students stay focused on their
academics. Over
time, this teaches them how to focus in other ways. A disciplined student is able
to stay
focused on his goals and keep his work as a top priority.

● Sketch the interior of your classroom that will show the pieces of furniture,
various displays,
and teaching aids. Consider a floor plan that will allow for collaborative work
and other
group activities.
