SPARK Your Interest
The learning Episode provides an opportunity to examine how classrooms are structured or
designed to allow everyone’s maximum participation for effective learning. You should be able to
examine how classroom management practices effect learning. this Episode enhances the application
of the theories learned in the following professional subject such as facilitating Learner-Centered
Teaching and The Child and Adolescent Learners and Learning Principles
TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
Plan on how to manage time, space, and resources; and
Provide a learning environment appropriate to the learners and conductive to learning.
REVISIT the Learning Essential
The classroom climate that is conducive for learning is one that is non-threatening yet
business-like. It is a classroom where, creating audio-visual presentations, the following are observed:
Specific classroom rules and procedures are clear.
Classroom rules and procedures are discussed within the first few days of the school.
Students are involved in the design of rules and procedures
Techniques to acknowledge and reinforce acceptable behavior are employed.
Clear limits for unacceptable behavior are established and negative consequences for such are
communicated.
Classroom processes are democratic.
OBSERVE
Observe and use the observation about provided for you to document your observation.
1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Note their
ages.
2. As I observed, each learners has a different characteristics that needed to accept and
understand. They have learners that very shy to communicate, some are attention
seeker, some are having world or doings. Some are productive in lessons. Some are
frisky, lazy and sleepy. Their ages are not disunite from each other’s. Some are gap with
1 year, some are the same situations or moments in the classroom. Each characteristics
must need an understanding and keep tracking through observation
3. How many boys are there? How many girls?
4. Focus on their behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
5. Can the learners already work independently?
6. Describe their span of attention
ANALYZE
Analyze and answer these questions on observed classroom management practices. It is also
good to ask the teacher for additional information, so you can validate your observation. Write your
notes below; and then organize your data create a Table where your answers should be written.
1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching aids, books,
students’ belongings, supplies, etc.)? describe these areas. Will it make a difference if these
areas for specific purposes are not present?
2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room? List them down. Do these rules reinforce
positive behavior?
3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? If the resource teacher is available,
ask him/her to describe the process. What’s the effect of student’s participation in rulemaking
on student’s behavior?
4. What are the daily routines done by Resource Teacher? (Prayer, attendance, assignment of
monitors, warm-up activities, etc.) how are they done?
5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement? Does this help in
managing the class?
6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this managed?
7. if a learner is not following instruction or is off-task, what does the Resource Teacher do?
Describe the behavior strategies used.
8. What does the Resource Teacher do to reinforce positive behavior? (Behavior strategies)
REFLECT
Reflect as a future teacher.
1. Why do you need to reinforce positive discipline?
2. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what grade level do you see yourself?
What routines would you consider for this level. Why?

3. Make a list of the rules likely to implement in this level. Why would you choose these rules?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
