My Field Study 3 answers. This does not include the questions and tasks in the booklet. Field Study 3 OBE and K-12 based BY BRENDA B. CORPUZ, Ph.D. This includes my observation notes.

1. Name of the School: Mount Carmel College Baler, Aurora
Observed: Bulletin Board Displays
Location of the School: Quezon Cor. San Luis Street, Baler, Aurora
Date of Visit: Friday July 8, 2016
Inside the school campus there are almost 30 bulletin board
displays. Board displays were located at the covered walks towards the
canteen and the Basic Education campus. Since the school has College
students most of the Bulletin boards are announcement, activities, and
events of each College Departments. There are few organizational and
subjectbulletinboardsthatareavailable.Announcementswere allformal
and readable.The information that were posted are clear and the colours
used are all in different variation. All are covered with plastic covers and
are framed. I have noticed that there were no such misspelled words and
grammatical errors. The information that were posted in the boardswere
clear and easily understood.
The messages were all clear,
it is very easy to understand
and determine.
The colours and arrangements
were very effective in attracting
viewers
Butterfly, fences and flower
cut-outs matched each other
and the colours are all
blended with each other.
The information are at the
middle part while the designs
are in the corners and sides.
The display is only for the
eyes and not very much
interactive. Quizzes are the
only resource.
The letters were a bit small
and can only be seen if you
go near the board except
only for the title.
There were no grammar
errors and misspellings.
It is coveredandprotected
and pieces are intact.
The board
was well protected
and covered so it
will last longer. It
can attract many
students because its
location is along the
way were students
walk. Content are
understandable and
free of grammar
errorsand spellings.
For me the visually
the board display is not weak
especially the way it is
decorated and designed but
the main issue for a bulletin
board to be weak is if it is not
updatedandnotclearenough.
The people that made should
also be knowledgeable.
It will be very much
appreciated and
efficient if the
people passing by
took the time in
reading the content.
There were little
involvement of the viewers of
the board because there were
no activities that are posted in
the board only facts and
trivia’s that are only for the
eyes.
Recommendation or Suggestion for improvement
The display, colours and arrangement of the board was good but in
terms of the content and interaction to the viewers it needs more
improvement. The content and information must be seen in a very good
distance. There should be interactive activities like puzzles and quiz bees.
Students need to be involved in activities because they are experiencing it
on hand thus learning something at the same time.

2. The main targetof the bulletinboardwere the students.Theway itwas
made, the colours that were used and the content and information of the board
display really reflected the likes and interests of the students. Since the display
was made by students it really nailed who type of viewers they want to attract.
The bright colours, the fun fonts of the letters. But at the end of the day
everyone has different style and taste and some may like it and some may not.
Yes, it was. The font and size of the wordswere formal enough to be
read by the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly
seen.The wordsusedwere appropriate to the levelof the studentswhere in the
students who will read it can understand its thought.
For me, the main purpose of a bulletin board is to convey a message
and gain orlearn newinformation. Like the one that I’ve observed which was
about Science and Mathematics. It really does its job. Because of the well-
designed display that attracted viewers ad captures their attention, the
appropriate contentsand bits of information and the pictures help for easier
understanding.
I suggest making the font size bigger so it can be seen in a great
distance so viewers can easily see the contents and information.Interactive
activities are also a great added bonus. Updating the board displays and
contents and adding new things more often would be a great improvement of
the board display.
Rationale: (Purpose)
To allow the students to contribute and to receive something in return and to be motivated
during their time inside the school and in life. By picking a note that has quotations or words
saying “love”, “Hope”, “peace” and “support something of sort”.
Objectives:
 The students will be able to create their own notes and quotationsthat will motivatethemselves
and others.
 The students will be motivated and inspired by getting something that they need to help them
throughout the day.
 The students will be able have additional information or learning.

3. Best features of my best proposed bulletin enhancement:
It will consist of positive words like “love, peace, kindness, compassion, trust” that are
written on sticky notes that can be taken from the board to keep for themselves. Also quotations
and different guidelines about life and being happy and doing goodness.
Content Resources (Name each needed resource and give each a brief description):
Internet- sites with reliable information
Books- it could be from all types of subjects
Magazines- source for cut out letters and pictures
Materials for aesthetic enhancement:
Cartolina Cutting Materials
Colourful Sticky notes Pasting Materials
Cut Out Letters Boarders
Colouring Material
RESOURCEFUL – A teacher should think of many ways of enhancing the board
displays even just using cheap materials.
CREATIVE – A teachershould be creative so she can create and invent many ideas for
the bulletin board and can make it more attractive and visually appealing.
INFORMATIVE- the teachershould have thisskill so the board display cannot just be
beautifully decorated and attractive but also field with useful information and
knowledge.
CRITICAL THINKING – a teacher should have critical thinking skills so she can
determine if the board display that she will make is applicable for the target audience
that she wants to attract.
IDEALISTIC – the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display would
look like and how it will work for the learning of the target audience.
I amsomewhat creative and at the same time resourceful. There is a bit
of idealistic in me also.Back when Iwasin high schoolthatIhelpedmy teachers
make ourschool’sbulletinboarddisplays.Ialwayschoosethe coloursthatwe’ll
going to use and the design that we will make.I love cutting out different shapes
and borders I like to print out letters then cut it very precise and neat.
Volunteering to help my teachers make bulletin boards made me enhance my
skills in being artistic and creative eventually ideas and concepts just burst out
of my brain.
Bulletin boards are an
important component of
classrooms. They provide a
way to introduce new material
or display student work.
Educators should create
boards that are equally
engaging and educational
To build interest,
educators should decorate the
boards before a new concept is
discussed with the class.
Students' curiosity will begin
to build and they will be more
likely to pay attention to the
lesson.

4. I think what I need to develop is having informative skills because I
always have a hard time on focusing on the content and useful information of
the board display and I should also determine the important details that I would
puton the bulletin board.To have informativeskillsIshouldneverstoplearning,
never stop reading and researching about many things. Scouring through
magazines and internet websites. There is also time to accept suggestions and
criticisms so eventually you’ll grow and be a better version of yourself and
improve your work.
An eye-catching
bulletin board will build
interest in every student.
Educators should strive to
create bulletin boards that
introduce new concepts in an
exciting way. Bulletin boards
appeal to the visual side of
learning for students.
Motivate students to
work harder with a bulletin
board that displays
outstanding student work.
Educators should strive to
draw attention to every child's
work at some point during the
year. Students will be
motivated to do better on
assignments to have theirwork
displayed.
Interactive bulletin
boards are perhaps the best
type of display. Students will
spend more time viewing and
attempting to understand
interactive bulletin boards.
Students should be able to
move pieces around on the
board, solve puzzles or put
their own spin on the board.
This type of kinaesthetic
learning will encourage
students to build
understanding. Interactive
bulletin boards add some
excitement to this typically
visual decoration.
The board displays
are covered with plastic cover
so the displays last longer.
Some have no contents yet
becauseitwasthe beginning of
classes so they boards are
being updated.
The bulletin boards
were colourful and attractive.
Most of them are in hallways
and covered walks so students
could see them while going
around the school.
