Field Study 3: TECHNOLOGY IN THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Day 1:
Episode No. 1
The School as a Learning Resource Centre.
1. Are the resource materials arranged properly according to their functions and
characteristics?
 Yes, the teacher that we observe teach the students about the EDSA
REVUOTION using these materials.
 TV for Video presentation and Power point
 Flashcards/Pictures
 Evaluation Materials
Every materials was used during discussion. The materials have a used in
every way, with the materials the student’s attention are focused onto what
the teacher is teaching. With the materials the lesson is more interesting to
the students and they can understand it more clearly.
2. Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials by the
teacher? Why? Why not?
 Yes and no, yes because the materials that the teacher is using has an easy
access considering that it’s hers, and no because when they have a new
topic they don’t have a book so they need to search about the topic browse
the internet which makes it a bit difficult for them. The time they use for
searching on the web and the time for making their lesson plan they don’t
have enough time for their self.
3. What are the strengths of the Learning Resource Center? What are its weaknesses?
What suggestions can you male?
 The strength of the Learning Resource Center is the libraries, faculties,
students and teachers with educational resources, including journals,
teaching resources, state testing files, and hands-on learning materials. The
Learning Resources Center is important so the learners can have a close-to-
reality experience. The school has resources that are very important to the
teaching- learning process. Electronic resources were used as means of
learning new concepts and new ideas to the learners. Like Science
laboratory are the place where they can engage in a close-to-reality kind of
experience since the laboratory has many real-like figures and equipment’s
useful for their learning. The weakness of it some could be the teacher not
knowing his/her students every well. If the students has an Individual
Education Plan there may be too little information or the wrong
information about the student. There may not be enough staffing. Children
who need special service or an individual aide may not receive this because
the school district needs more people. These are some of the weaknesses I
can think of, but these weakness can be avoided. Be organized, be as
prepared as you can, and be on your toes. Because who knows what the
next day will bring you.
4. Why does a teacher use a variety of educational technology in teaching?
 The teacher uses varieties of educational technology in teaching is to get
more information’s and get the attention of the students in learning the
subject or the topic. This also enhance the student’s interest in learning and
to improve more.
Episode No: 2
Bulletin Board Display

1. Where are the display board found? Are they in proper places where the target
viewers see them?
 The display board are found inside the room. The display board are put
into places where the students can see it. Although there are only few
display board because they say that if there is too much display board the
students will be distracted. That why DEPED ordered the school to take
down the display board add colour the walls with bright green.
2. Do the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why?
Why not?
 Yes and no, yes because the students may be able to get an idea about their
next topic would be. The display boards are all about the subject that they
are taking inside the classroom. And no because like the DEPED said it too
distracting to the students and the students just ignore the display board
and it gets destroyed.
3. Is the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why?
Why not?
 Yes, because the teacher talks loud and clear which the students understand
it loud and clearly. If the teacher said that speak only in English the
students will follow the teacher but few students can’t catch up which is
common to it the teacher let them speak the mother tongue or Tagalog
sometimes. And if it’s Tagalog then they can speak Tagalog.
4. What do you think is the purpose of the board display? Is it effective? Why? Why
not? What suggestions can you make?
 The board display is doing its part as the so called proper learning
environment but this doesn’t mean it triggers the learner’s capabilities. The
board display inside the room is about their topics like Science, English,
MAPEH, Filipino, Math, etc. all for grade 6 level. The suggestions that I
can give is that don’t make the board display too colourful and not too
much eye catching or too distracting for the students.
Episode No.3

1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources
that she/he used?
 The teacher is promoted to use the flash cards, TV, and picture is because it
is the perfect materials about the history lesson. The topic is about the
EDSA REVOLUTION so it is the perfect to use those materials. The
documentaries about what happened during that time. And the pictures or
the flashcards that uses as the pictures to show who takes part at the
historic event.
2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed?
 The only difficulty that the teacher had is the wiring of the monitor
because it is a bit loose. They can easily fix this damage by regularly
checking the wirings and the other equipment’s.
3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not?
 Yes because learners today are more prone to technologies, they easily get
the attention of it and they can easily learn using the effective materials
that the teacher use are getting the attention of the students. And the
leaners are actively answer the questions and interact with the teacher.
They’re active in during the discussion.
Episode No.4

1. Are the available materials appropriate for your target grade level?
 Yes, because the students these day are more prone to technology, so that
they can easily catch their attention during discussion. And also this
challenged you as a future teacher to be more creative during teaching.
2. List down those that can be useful for your topic. What other materials can you
make? (like flash cards, posters, cut outs, etc.)?
 If your topic is History, like the Pearl Harbour you’ll be using video
presentation to show some videos about what happen to the tragic event.
Flash cards or pictures of the people how is important during the historic
event. Hand outs that so that they can read it to get an idea about the topic.
3. What are the benefits of doing a survey of available materials for making your own
materials?
 To have an idea about on what your materials should be if it’s going to be
effective or going to be suitable to the topic that you’re going to tackle.
4. What tips can you give to future teachers regarding preparation of teaching
materials?
 The tips that I may give is that don’t be nervous and don’t over think.
Observe the students that you’re going to teach, observe what are their
strength and weaknesses so that you can adjust. Enjoy teaching and make
every seconds counts. Never give 100% at work, they’ll expect that
everyday, always give 50%, so when you give 25% they’ll just think you’re
having an off day and if you ever give 75% they’ll give you a praise.
