My Observation Report

Name of the School: Macabebe Elementary School

Observed:

Location of the School: Macabebe, Pampaga

Date of Visit:

As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found out that every classroom has its own board displays. 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 topic 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 near the faculty room and also near the entrance gate. Most of it was announcements, activities on events in the school and etc. The announcements were written in a formal way that every one 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 glass, so as to give protection to the content materials used.

From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one you got most interested in. Evaluate it using the evaluation from below.

My Analysis

Did the board design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why? 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.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? 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.

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 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.

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.

My Proposed Board Display

Theme:   Activity Board

Board title: Classroom Activities

Rationale: 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 discuss

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, its

should be attractive, cogent and legible

Visual Aids

It is appropriate because it is the standard workbook that came from the Department of Education.

The learners will motivate to participate in the discussion by using this materials.

The teacher knows how to efficiently utilize the materials.

Not enough supplies so students have to share with one another thereby enabling them to copy another’s answer.

The font size are tooSmall to be seen in an average distance.

It will be only weak if the teacher do not know

The teaching aids used are appropriate. However, it will be more effective if the ratio of 1:1 per student is achieved.

This teaching aids used are appropriate. The discussion in enjoyable by using flashcards.

It assists the teacher in delivering her lesson,

how to efficiently utilize the material and if the content is not clear enough to students.

so it is appropriate to use this material for a large number of students inside the classroom and it is necessary for the teacher to use it because most of the students were visual students

My Analysis

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.

What difficult, 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.

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.
