Observation of Teaching-Learning in Actual School Environment
LEARNING EPISODE 1:
THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, work my way through these steps:
1. Visit a school. Look into facilities and support learning areas in the campus, then in the classroom.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
a) Descriptive paragraph
b) Photo essay
c) Sketch or drawing
OBSERVE
As you moved around the campus, observations forms are provided for you to document your
observations. It is advised that you read the entire worksheet before proceeding to the school site. A good
understanding of the activities and tasks to be accomplished in the activity sheets will yield better learning
results.
Familiarize yourself with the different areas and facilities of the school. Check the column to indicate their
availability. Give a brief description of those are available, and say how each will contribute to the student’s
learning and development.

The display, or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is one of the most readily available
and versatile learning resources.
To achieve the Intended Learning Outcome, work your way through these steps: 1. Examine for bulletin
board displays. Include samples of those found at the entrance, lobby, hallways and classroom. 2. Pick one
and evaluate the display. 3. Propose enhancement to make the display more effective.
OBSERVE
As you look around and examine board displays, use the observation guide and forms provided for you
