The School Environment
FS 1 1
SPARK Your Interest
This Episode 1 provides an opportunity for students to examine and reflect on a
school environment that promotes learning and development.
3. As a basic part of the school's visual environment, display boards have four general
purposes:
Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to aesthetics. They set the
social and psychological atmosphere of the school. .
Motivational- They encourage students to perform better and have greater
confidence.
An example would be the display of students' outputs that show that each output is
recognized and valued. The bulletin boards help celebrate the learners' growth and
progress.
Informational- They are used as a strategy to readily disseminate information.
Instructional They move students to respond and participate through interactive
displays. They get students to think about and communicate their learning
4. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and
durability.
ACTIVITY 1.1 Exploring the School Campus
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.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
4. Reflect on the characteristics of a school environment that promotes learning.
5. Present your idea of a good school environment through any of these.
a) Descriptive paragraph b) Photo essay
c) Sketch or drawing d) Poem, song or rap
OBSERVE
As you move 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 that are available,
and say how each will contribute to the students' learning and development.

this related to your knowledge of faciliating learning?
REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?
The display board, 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 Outcomes, work your way through these steps: 1.
Examine for bulletin board displays. Include samples of those found at the entrance,
lobby, hallways and classrooms 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 obsevation guide and forms

colors do you see? How are the pieces of information and images 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. Think about what got your attention. Why did it get your attention?
Based on the questions on the observation guide, write your observation report:
