My Observation Report
Name of the School: MacabebeElementary School
Observed:
Locationof the School: Macabebe, Pampaga
Date of Visit:
As I look around and examine the board displays, I have
found out that every classroom has its own board displays.
Some classrooms have a bulletin board for birthdays of
students, classroom cleaners, classroom officers, classroom
activities and announcement and the most common was the
board display that contains the topic to be discussed in a
certain grading period.
I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it
was more than that if I will examine the whole campus.
Board displays were located near the faculty room and also
near the entrance gate. Most of it was announcements,
activities on events in the school and etc. The
5. announcements were written in a formal way that every one
can quickly and clearly understand. The information were
arranged past to latest and the materials used have a high
quality that can last for a longer time. Board display near the
entrance of the gate was covered by a glass, so as to give
protection to the content materials used.
From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one you got most
interested in. Evaluate it using the evaluation from below.

10. My Analysis
Did the board designreflect the likes/interests ofits target audience?
Why? Why not?
Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the
title and the theme seem to be a student made. Since it is made by certain
students, so I can say that everything being posted are being reflected on
the likes or interest of its target audience because the main target
audience are also the students but it is not the totality because every
student hasits own style. It simply means that one student is different
from another student in terms of their likes or interest.
Was the language usedclearand simple for the target audience to
understand? Why? Why not?
Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read
by the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly
seen. The words used were appropriate to the level of the students where
in the students who will read it can understand its thought.
11. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it
effective? Why? Why not?
In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey
information to the students such as information about the content of the
subjects, proper hygiene, values information and latest trends in the
society. It also serves as motivation tool for the students to do their best
and as I look in it, it really works for it s purpose. By it designs it holds
attention, the contents were appropriate that provide learning
information, and the boards were not merely filled with written words
but also pictures that facilitates easy understanding.
What suggestions canyou make?
I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thoughtof
the sentence. The content must have something new that gives
opportunity to the student to participate or interact and it is important
also to update the content. It would be also nice to add more contents
which will invite the participation of the students aside from
information that it conveys.
12. My Proposed Board Display
Theme: Activity Board
Boardtitle: Classroom Activities
Rationale: To enhance students participation in learning by using board
display and the ability of students in responding to the questions posted.
Objectives:
The students will be able to provide answers on the posted
questions.
The students will be able perform the activity being posted.
The students will be able have additional information or learning
aside from whatis discuss in the class.
13. Bestfeatures of my propose bulletin enhancement:
It will consist of health information, trivia, and latest educational
trends in the society and activities for the students to do.
Content resources (name eachneeded resource
and give eacha brief description):
Internet - sites with reliableinformation.
Books - it could be from all types of subjects.
Journals - those that are fitted to the level of the students.
Magazines - source for cut out letters and pictures.
Students output - can be displayed in the board, its should be
attractive, cogent and legible
My Portfolio
14. Based on your suggestions, make your own board display lay-out. You may
present your output through any of these:
A hand-madedrawing or layout
An electronic (computer) drawing/illustration or layout
A collage
My Reflections
15. Name at least5 skill that a teachershould have to be able to come up
with effective board displays. Elaborate on why eachskill is needed.
The teacher should posses skills to be able to come up with effective board
displays.
Creativity. Instructional content can be dry and boring in a classroom
setting. Creative teachers try to present concepts and content in an
interesting way.
Visual Skills. Teacher are somewhat like interior designers; they must
be ableto visualize the presentation and impact they want to create, and
then apply those to display.
Organizational Skills. This goes along with visual skills but
organization includes comparing and contrasting, grouping and
arranging content in a meaningful way.
Communication. Teachers know that words combined with visual
content can often communicate more than words alone. As well,the
teacher must be a good communicator.
Which of the skills you named in # I do you already have? Recallyour
past experiences In making board displays. How do you practice these
skills?
16. Communication skill is one of the skills that I already have.One way of
practicing this skills through listening to what others has to say and
sharing my own opinion and views. Communication skill can be practice
through exchanging ideas with others and understanding others
perspectives. And also the visual skills. Being artistic is one of the skill
where I am good for.
Which skills do you still need to develop? What concrete steps will you
take on how you can improve on or acquire these skills?
The organizational skills. Its so difficult for me to compare and contrast,
group and arrange content in a meaningful way. One way of practicing
this skills is reading more books with comprehension to acquire the skill.

attentiveness, eagerness and understanding
My Observation Report
The observation was during a mathematics class
where the teacher used workbooks supplied by the
Department of Education but due to an insufficient number
of workbooks, the teacher has no other option but to write it

23. My Analysis
What do you think prompted the teacherto choose the
materials/learning resources thatshe/he used?
In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be
attentive and participative in their lesson, and also let her students
utilize their analyticalskills. The instructional materials used were the
perfect fit because the purpose was accomplished. It really catches the
attention of the students and it aids the teacher’ intention. The
instructional materials serves as a clear representation that was capable
of giving clear information, through this, ht students were actively
engaged in the discussion and the teacher was trying to use her
creativeness and resourcefulness to facilitate the learning.
What difficult, if any, did the teacherexperience? How canthis be
managed?
As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher
experienced. The class was well managed and the teacher did not find it
hard to convince her students to participate in the discussion and
24. activity. There was an interaction between the students and the teacher,
and the teacher makes sure thather students stay on task as observed.
Over-all, were the learning resources/materials, usedeffectively?
Why? Why not?
Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering
the questions written in the visual aid and some of them were able to
answer whatwas asked. The teacher gives appreciation to those students
who answer the questions correctly and to those who were not able to
give their correct answer; the teacher gives feedback to improve learning.
Through the score of students on their quiz that shows a positive result,
I can conclude thatlearning material was used effectively.
