Learning Episode

My Learning Episode Overview

Episode 2 provides me with an opportunity to give a more intent look at bulletin board
displays and determine the effectiveness of these displays in delivering in purpose and
message.

My Intended Learning outcomes

In this Episode, I must be able to:

 Evaluate bulletin board displays using a set of criteria for quality.
 Apply principles in designing an effective bulletin board display.

My Performance Criteria

I will be rated along the following:

 Quality of my observation and documentation,
 Completeness and depth of analysis,
 Depth and clarity of classroom observation-based reflection,
 Completeness, organization, clarity of portfolio and
 Time of submission of my portfolio.

My Learning Essentials

1. Bulletin Boards have four general purposes:

 Decorative- They offer visual stimulation and appeal to the 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.

LEARNING EPISODE 2 – Bulletin Board Displays

 Informational- They are used as a strategy to disseminate information.
 Instructional- They invite students to respond and participate through interactive
displays.

2. The set of criteria for evaluating bulletin board displays includes effective
communication, attractiveness, balance, unity, interactivity, legibility, correctness, and
durability.

My 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 realize my Intended Learning Outcomes, I will work my way through these steps:
My Tools

As you look around and examine board displays, use the activity forms provided for you to
document your observations.

An Observation Guide for a BOARD DISPLAYS

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).

My Analysis

Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why? Why
not?
 Yes, because the board display was appropriate on the interest of the
audience (students, teachers, and school employees)

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why?
Why not?
 Yes, everyone understands the language on the board display because they
are good in interpreting languages.

What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Why
not?
 I think the purpose of the board is to remind the teachers, students and
school employees to be aware about the celebrations.

What suggestions can you make?

 I suggest that they need to put more bulletin board around the school so the
students will be aware on the important information on their school.
Based on your suggestions, propose an enhanced version of the display board. Use
the form below.

 Plastic cover
My Reflection/Insights

1. Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with
effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

 Creativity – to make the bulletin board more attractive to the student.

 Responsibility – to finish the bulletin board easily.
 Patience – For the teachers to not lose hope in making bulletin boards.
 Optimistism – so there are no negative ideas on the boards.

2. Which of the skills you named in #1 do you already have? Recall your past
experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills?

 One skill that I had is responsibility. When I was making board display I am
responsible in doing it, so I can easily finished it.

3. Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you take
on how you can improve on or acquire these skills?

 I think one of skill that I need to improve is creativity. To improve/develop

this skill I will watch videos on how to make bulletin boards so I will have
ideas when I will make aboard again.
