ANALYZE
Are the learning resources/materials arranged properly according to their
functions and characteristics?
Learners often mishandle the materials that were there in the Learning
Resource Center. I suggest that at the very start of the School year the Students
should be taught and oriented on the proper care and handling of all learning
materials that are present in the learning center.

Do the guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials

by the teachers? Why? Why not?
All the resources were properly monitored. There is a borrower slip where the
teachers who want to borrow the materials signed up indicating the date
borrowed and date to be returned. This will prevent loss of these learning
materials.

What are the strengths of this Learning Resource Center?

It is very attractive because there are lots of picture that are posted in the walls
and very informative and serve as learning materials to the students. These
resources are properly maintained as well.

What are the weaknesses?

The main weakness is its physical size which cannot accommodate the growing
numbers of students that is difficult for them to fit in the Learning resource
center.

What suggestions can you make?

Since the students have their own classrooms, I suggest that they have to take
turns in using the learning resource center so as to avoid congestions and not
conducive for learning.

REFLECT

1. Which of the materials in the Learning Resource Center caught your interest
the most? Why?
The newly installed smart TV in the learning center. The screen is big enough
and it can be connected to the computer. This is very convenient for the
teachers. Creation of visual aid can be minimized since supplementary clips are
available online.

2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate?

I am confident using all the learning materials available in the learning center.

3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about?

The new technology that will be useful for teaching, friendly and accessible to
the students

Used the Technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer
to the Technology Integration Matrix on p. 123, In which level of technology
integration do you think the teacher you observed operated? Why?
- The teacher has no specific nor focused on one technology integration
used. She sometimes used the adaptation level where the teacher facilitates the
student exploration and independent use of technology tools and sometimes
she provides the learning context and let the students choose the technology
tools.

Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristics of the

learning environment in the class that you observed? Point your observations
that justify your answer.
- There is a conducive learning environment in the class because the teacher is
very approachable and she is very flexible in giving her assistance to the
students according to their needs in relation to the subject matter.

REFLECT

1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and
what would you do differently if you would teach the same lesson to the same
group of students? Why?
I should be also flexible to my approach. to the students because every student
