listening skills of
students.
Non-Electronic

LSPU-SCC Library
Analysis
[Link] the learning resource/materials
arranged properly according to their
functions and characteristics?
All learning resources or materials were arranged
properly according their functions and
characteristics. The books inside the library were
properly arranged as to their types and functions.
The proper arrangement of learning resources
help the teachers and students to locate it and it
brings convenience to both teachers and
students.
[Link] the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy
access to the materials by the teachers? Why? Why
not?
The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the
materials in such a way that the guidelines and procedures
do not involve great exertion or discomfort on the part of
the teachers or any users of it.
[Link] are the strengths of this learning resource
center?
Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted
to educate all people and provide quality education. It will
become strong when the person in-charge knows how to
efficiently utilize it and the resources must be sufficient and
must be contemporary that will suit to the latest trends in
the society.
[Link] are its weaknesses?
A learning resource center was only good as the resources they
have and the person running it so if a learning resource center
has insufficient or outdated resources it will be weak. If they
have current resources but no one knows how to efficiently
utilize them so it will be also weak.
[Link] suggestions can you make?
I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned
and properly managed so that it can function and give
significant contribution to developing learning society and
establishing educated society. Learning resource center must
be designed according to the interest of students so that their
attention will be caught and it must be an information provider
to reinforce students learning.
Reflection

of the materials in the learning resources caught your
interest the most? Why?
It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly arranged
according to their types and functions. It seems that there was a proper
maintenance because most of the books were free from dust.
[Link] gadgets/materials are you already confident to
use/operate?
The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to
multimedia presentation were the gadgets or materials that give me a strong
belief in my own ability to use or operate it.
[Link] ones do you feel you need to learn more about?
I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It is
important for me to be familiar and understand clearly its appropriateness
and effectiveness in delivering a topic.
