LEARNING EPISODE 5 (Preparing the
Learning Environment: An Overview)
NOTICE
Learning Environment 1:
● What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message or
theme does it convey?
During our virtual observation with our cooperating teacher, I noticed that the
bulletin board listed the names of the second quarter honorees. It's beautifully
painted, and every edge of the paper was meticulously cut. The title is written
in large letters and is clear. The teacher used vibrant colors that drew the children
in and could be seen from a long distance. It communicates directly to the
students, telling them in their minds and hearts that they must become persistent
in doing academic work every time they see it. It will inspire them to continue
studying hard so that their name will appear on the bulletin board someday.
Learning Environment 2:
● If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules, where is
most likely the learning space of the students?
In their own home, particularly during this pandemic. Home is the best and most
secure place for students to learn. Parents are responsible for their children's
education, and they are the ones who receive the module at school.
● How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for learning?
As a teacher, I can assist them by holding a meeting and providing advice on
how to create a conducive learning environment. I will also pay them a visit at
home to see if they have a conducive learning environment. As a teacher, I will
never tire of reminding them to prioritize their children's learning needs.
Furthermore, I will seek the assistance of the local government in this matter,
so that they can have any materials or gadgets at their disposal, allowing them
to experience a meaningful teaching-learning process even from the comfort of
their own home.
ANALYZE
The examples above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the
learners are in the same room or space while in the second, the learners may be in
different learning spaces like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases parks or under the
trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for
learning? Choose between Learning Environment I or Environment 2.
REFLECT
Based on my noticing and analysis, realized that
a. Face-to-face learning is superior to online learning because it allows children to
become hands-on with various activities while interacting with their peers.
b. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to provide the best environment for the
children to feel and experience a conducive learning environment.
c. If the pandemic persists, I must be prepared as a teacher for any eventualities,
such as delivering modules at their homes and making their space a conducive
learning environment.
REFLECT
What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?
First, as a teacher, I need to interact with the students by visiting them at their
homes and asking how they are and how I can help them. Second, as a teacher,
I must have a plan A and a plan B in place to meet all of the students' learning
needs and interests. Third, I need to speak with the parents to learn about their
current situation and status. Fourth, I need to be creative and cultivate a mindful
attitude. Fifth, I need to go the extra mile in order to fully comprehend my
current profession. Finally, I must be adaptable in everything I do because the
future of the students is in my hands.
PLAN
How should I do it?
As a teacher, as I explained previously, I should be prepared for any eventuality.
I must exert my effort and willingness to complete the task and assist the
children in their needs. The teacher plays an important role in resolving these
issues. And the specific actions that I can take are as follows: first, I need to
seek the help and advice of the principal before taking the necessary action.
Second, I will meet with the parents to learn about their current situation. Third,
I will seek intervention and assistance from local leaders. Fourth, as a teacher, I
will create all of the necessary instructional materials. I will adjust all of my
teaching abilities based on their needs and circumstances in order to cater to all
of them. These solutions are intended for use in a two-learning environment.
WORK ON MY ARTIFACTS
In not less than 300 words, write an essay on a topic: My Conducive Learning
Environment.
The second quality is openness. I'd like to decorate the walls with children's
artwork. This will increase the children's self-esteem. Creating a cozy reading corner
for six-year-olds, for example, will encourage the children to read more. Furthermore,
I believe that I can help the children reach their full physical, mental, and emotional
potential by introducing shared open spaces with other classes.
The physical classroom is the fourth option. As a future teacher, I will make certain
that the arrangement of desks and work space, the attractiveness and appeal of bulletin
boards, and the storage of materials and supplies are all in their proper locations. My
students will be able to see that the space is both clean and safe.
