Your Target
At the end of this activity, you will be competent in appraising the effectiveness of display
boards as learning resources.
Your Map
Display board, or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is one of the most
readily available and versatile learning resources.
To reach your target, follow the below:
Your Tools
As you look around and examine board displays, use the activity forms
provided for you to document your observations.
Field Study
Read the following statements carefully before you observe.
1. Go around the school and examine the board displays. How many board displays do you
see?
2. Where are the display boards found? Are they in places where target viewers can see them?
3. What are the displays about? What images and colors do you see? How are the pieces of
information arranged?
4. What materials were used in making the displays? Are borders used?
5. Do you notice some errors? (Misspelled words, grammar inconsistencies and the like)
6. Are the messages clear and easily understood?
7. You may choose to take a photo of the display board (if allowed).
OBSERVATION REPORT
From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one that you got most
interested in. Evaluate it using the evaluation form below.
