5. My Observation Report
Name of the School Observed Binalbagan Catholic College- High School Department
Location of the School __San Gregorio Village, Binalbagan Negros Occidental___________
Date of Visit ____July 20, 2010_____________________________________________
It was July 20, 2010 when we are having our first actual school observation. This is
in accordance to our course which will furnish us to become aware when we are exposed
in the field of out-campus internship. Each one of us were advised to observed the BCC-
High School Department. Our teacher told us to fill in everything that corresponds to our
target and goal. The target is to be competent in determining a school environment that
provides social, psychological and physical environment supportive of learning. Our
teacher, Mam Flerida Demegillo and at the same time she is the school principal of BCC
High School Department, gives us a sort of overview of what we are going to do. I strolled
around the campus together with my classmates. I recorded the data and jot down the
observation in my paper. I was impressed by the different offices and rooms but it attracts
me most when I passed and observed the office of the principal. Her room is different
from the others since it is too clean and the room is properly arranged.
I observed everything that the schools have. As I am walking, my eyes borrowed
my attention inside the faculty room in which the teachers stay. My first impression to
those teachers are stubborn, obstinate and that they might not be friendly, but I was
wrong because I try talked to them and that time I expected the thoughts that might
happen instead they approached me, answered my questions and with a smile showing
that I am welcome. The trigger in my mind never stops me to think those negative
thoughts until I came home.
We went back on another day which is July 27, 2010 and continued our thesis. I
accomplished the school facilities matrix and I was able to answer the questions which are
asked in my data. After all, I accomplished everything.

students going to school? What are your conclusion?

have a lot of number of students population and that only shows how great is the
impact of the school to particular learning process.
How does this relate your knowledge of child and adolescent development? How does this
relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
According to my own observation, the knowledge of particular students that we
have observed is moderate while in facilitating learning, I can say that the
