Learning Outcomes:
- Revisit the concept of learning environment in the context of the current teaching and
learning situation
I. Task Background
A learning environment is a place where learners feel safe. A place where they
can voice out their opinions and ideas, as well as commit mistakes without
judgements. It is a place where they feel the sense of inclusiveness, where co-learners
and teachers value and respect them despite of being unique, where good
relationship among everyone is establish. Learners are challenged to fulfill and
achieved high goals that’s why they are given the support they need to do so. Most
of all, it is a place which provide multiple and varied opportunities in order to achieve
meaningful and lifelong experiences and learnings.

1. What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning environment in
the following conditions:
a. Bulletin Board Display
I can assist my mentor by providing google form links for checking of class
attendance or having a screenshot of the name of the students who attended the
online class via google meet or zoom meeting 3 minutes before the class starts and
after the online class.
Because of the sudden shift of educational system, the class bulletin board
were utilized for posting of answer sheets that has no name, subject matter, activity
number and the likes. On the right side of the board where information about
COVID-19 and health protocols that everyone need to abide.
I believe that bulletin board helps in learning process in a way that the
postings in the board such as outstanding outputs and class ranking, motivates them
to do better on tasks and activities to have their work displayed. Also utilizing
bulletin boards to introduce new concept can be appealing to learners’ eyes and
draw interests to engage themselves in the new topic. In addition, it is also helpful in
remembering previous lessons after looking at the previous outputs that serves as

2. Learning Environment 2
a. If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules, where
is most likely the learning space for the students?
Since my resource teacher facilitates modular class, the learning space for the
students is most likely at their home or in places where they can focus, away from
noise and any form of disturbance.
Student’s learning space may not be very conducive for learning because they
are not the only person in their home and aside from doing class works, they are also
tasked to do some household chores, unlike when they are in school that their whole
8 hours is only allotted for studying not to mention that there are enough facilities to
facilitate their learning. Also, there are some unnecessary noises coming from their
siblings, their neighbors, their dogs and chickens to the point that they can’t focus.
The advantage for modular class is that they can learn at their own pace but the
problem is, no one can facilitate their learning as much as their teacher does. In
addition, there’s no other instructional materials aside from the module that will help
them grasp the concept easily. They can’t even receive timely feedbacks and there’s
no one hearing their ideas and opinions in relation to their topics.
c. How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for
learning?
I guess the best way to make their learning environment conducive for
learning is to first, manage their time. I can provide them a schedule indicating the
time when they will start reading and answering their modules and their vacant time
where they can do their house chores and other activities. I will tell them to post it on
their door so that everyone in their home will be aware of their schedule and no one
will be going to disturb them. Also, I will instruct them to find a place where no one
can disturb them, either in their room or sheds. They have to clean it and post some
motivational quotes on the walls and decorate it so that every time that they are in
that place, they will be motivated to study and learn.
