What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning
environment in the following conditions:
1. Bulletin Board Display
I will check if the following are useful and important to the students.
Topic
Pick engaging Image to feature on the display
Put a title of each
Put display board at the back to as one them in one board.
Collect academic data to display on the bulletin board.
2. Small Group Discussion
I'd encourage the students to divide into smaller groups to complete their
work. I'm going to ask them to find a place where they feel comfortable
working in order to produce excellent work through their partnership and
collaboration to complete their task. In order for them to know what to do,
I will also severely instruct them to listen for their teacher's instructions.
3. Checking Class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e., google meet or zoom)
Since Google form is one of the greatest tools for tracking student
attendance during online classes, we may utilize a variety of techniques
to gather attendance data from students in a virtual classroom.
Additionally, you may view the students who are in the room when you
take a screenshot of a virtual class. Furthermore, you may monitor the
students' attendance by letting them press the raise hand button or play
the audio and say that they are there because the teacher has called their
names.

PREPARING THE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT: AN OVERVIEW
FS 2
Learning Environment 1:
What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What
message or theme does it convey?
The board display is effective to informational which it conveys the
information that interest the viewers and it is motivational because it
attracts the viewers which are important for them to have interest in
looking the bulletin boards display. Additionally, it is well organized,
the color and shape are uniform.
What makes it attractive to the learners?
The bulletins board is attractive because of its color combination and
arrangement. The images and information are very useful and
attractive.
The example above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the
learners are in the same room or space while in the second, the learners maybe 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 1 or in Learning Environment 2.
Does it help in the learning process? How?
Yes, because it easily informs the students about what they should
know for example the latest announcement, memorandum, achievers,
any motivational reminders and friendly reminders for them to be
aware for everything. And also, this board display made the information
dissemination easier and some students enjoy and love looking at the
bulletin board to see updates and will also motivate more students’
achievers to strive more.
Learning Environment 2:
If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning thought the models,
where is most likely the learning space of the students?
Most teacher’s use Google Meet for learning space of the students to
deliver their lesson.
Can you describe?
Google Meet (formerly known as Hangouts Meet and Google Duo) is a
video-communication service developed by Google. It is one of two
apps that constitute the replacement for Google Hangouts, the other
being Google Chat. It I s a type of software application that allows
more than 50 people like students to join the same virtual meeting in
their most convenient time. It is also a cheaper than other applications
online. And, the students can only join the virtual meeting through links
or code provided by their teacher.
How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for
learning?
As a teacher, I can make the environment conducive for learning by
using virtual software application to deliver my lesson and meet them
with the use of technology, expand their knowledge and giving their
opportunity to learn in online class and also, make sure that they know
how to respect teachers and other students even though it is online
class. We are now in era where we also consider the relevant or digital
to us that can help us to learn in anywhere.
Explain your choice. Why?
I prefer Learning Environment 1, which is face-to-face teaching, because it
allows you to keep an eye on your students' progress and determine whether
they are actually learning in the classroom. It also allows you to observe each
student's behavior individually so you can decide how best to approach them.
Additionally, based on our experiences from two years ago, I can understand
how challenging it is for our teachers who lack strong technological skills as
well as the kids. Because it is simpler for both students and teachers, I
preferred face-to-face learning, which falls under Learning Environment 1,
over distant learning, which falls under Learning Environment 2.
Based on my noticing and analysis, I realized that
a. The topic above is relevant to the situation that we experience today’s
pandemic which is COVID-19.
b. Today’s situation effect to the students and teachers is difficult.
c. We can expand the learnings of the students through face-to-face learning.
What probable problem may result from the two situations of the learning
environment?
I believe that the problem with this is how certain that the teachers are that
their students are learning what they intended with these two examples of the
educational setting.
What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?
For us to solve this problem, I need to observe everyday on how my students
work and their development. I will make sure that they should do all the task
or activities that was given for them and pass them all for recording and
grading to know if there is a progress of every student.
How should I do it?
For me to do the solution of this problem is that the first thing that I would do
is to prepare a pre-test and post-test every quarter and every lesson to
determine the knowledge of every student before you teach the lesson and
after you discuss the lesson. Always check their activities to see the progress
of each student and know where they didn’t understand and what part they
understand and good at.
Choose the best answer from the option given.
1. Learning environment is only confined to a specific place called schools. This
statement is _____.
A. True
B. False
C. Doubtful
D. Cannot be determined
2. What kinds of learning happens anytime, anyplace and anywhere?

3. In which situation can learners learn with more physical presence and
intervention of the teachers?
A. Face-to-face
B. Virtual
C. On-line
D. All of the above
4. Which of the two kinds of learning environment encourages independence and
self-management of the learners? Why?
A. Face-to-face, because there is always the presence of the teacher who will
give guidance to the learner.
B. Virtual/On-line, because the learners are given time to learn on their own and
progress at their own rate.
C. Both, because they can always shift from one modality to another.
D. Face-to-face because there is always the need of a teacher in a classroom all
the time.
5. If on-line or virtual learning environment is not applicable, the traditional face-to-
face or in-school will continue. How will you improve the physical learning
environment?
A. Use tables with chairs to allow cooperative learning.
B. Provide learning spaces or corners for independent study.
C. Give credits to success than failures.
D. A, B and C
In not less than 300 words, write an essay on the topic: “My Conductive Learning
Environment”
By: Tullabang, Aiza Pasado
The first thing we should remember for the classroom
to be conducive in learning is comfort because learners can
feel safe and accepted, consider the lighting to be bright
enough, has enough space, well organized and even the
temperature. The learners can’t concentrate to learn if the
classroom is too hot because they are distracted. And the
conducive school environment in learning is to make sure
that the environment is clean, the school personnel should
be approachable and school should have all the facilities
that helps all need of the students in the learning process.
As a future teacher, I can accomplish those things by
doing it into action and for being a responsible teacher with
passion and determination to make learning’s better. I must
need to love and care my students in order for them to feel
that they are important as an individual and for them to feel
comfortable, we must know their needs or concerns to
address it immediately for them to see the important of
education.
So, I will carry out the following steps to accomplish
a classroom that conducive to learning: First is to make
sure that the classroom is clean through disciplining and
encouraging the students to maintain the cleanliness of the
classroom and with this strategy, I also help them to be
aware of their duties and responsibilities. Second is to
organized the room through creating effective seating
arrangement every grading for them to know their
classmates closely. Third is to use a student- centered
learning approach where students become the leader of
themselves who are able to solve their own problem
independently and practice to do their work on their own,
not relying to other people. Fourth is to be model to
everyone, not only in school but also in the community.
In short, a conducive learning environment is one
that has consistent practices that keep the school safe,
clean, orderly and free from distraction; Maintain facilities
that provide challenging activities; and address the
physical, social and psychological needs of the students.
