An Observation Guide for the Learners Characteristics

Read the following statements carefully. Then write your observation


report on the provided space.
1. As you observe the class, look into the characteristics of the learners. Nothe
their ages.
2. How many boys are there? How many girls?
3. Focus on their behavior. Are they already able to manage their own behavior?
4. Can the learners already work independently?
5. Describe their span of attention.
6. Look into their listening skills and ability to concentrate.

Name of the School Chaiyaphumpakdeechumpon School


Observed Mattayom 4/1
Location of the School Nai Muang, Muang, Chaiyaphum
Date of Visit July 25, 2016
As I observed the class, I can see that the learners sometimes need
additional motivation to keep their attention focused and avoid doing
something on their seats. Their ages ranges from 15- 18 years old. There are
22 boys and 18 girls in the room. Most of the boys seated at the back are
noisy, they can manage their own behavior but they will just settle down if
the teacher already warns them. In quizzes, I can see some students who
cant work independently but I know that theyre trying to answer and
understand the quiz. Their span of attention is so short so you need to make
some ways to keep the students focused on the class. They cant
concentrate very well because of
some destructions but theyre trying to listen.

An Observation Guide for the CLASROOM VISIT


Be guided by these questions as you do your observation of the
classroom management. It is also good to ask the teacher for
additional information so you can verify your observation. Write
your notes below; and then organize your data in the table that
follows.
1. Are there areas in the classroom for specific purposes (storage of teaching
aids, books, students belongings, supplies, etc.). Describe these areas.
In the classroom, I can see a cabinet used for the storage of their
brooms, theres also one table at the back where students can pit their
things. I think the room needs more things that will serve as storage area.
2. Are there rules and procedures posted in the room?
There are no rules and procedures posted in the room but the teacher
herself always reminds the students about the rules and procedures in
the class. Students are aware of the rules so some of them are not
stubborn.
3. Did the students participate in making the classroom rules? (Ask the
Resource Teacher)
I can see that the students really participate in making the classroom
rules because they really follow what their teacher says. Only few of the
students are not sometimes following the rules but I think they can be
managed.
4. What are the daily routines done by the teacher? (prayer, attendance,
assignment of monitors, warm-up activities, etc. How are they done?
When the teacher comes in , everyone will stand and someone will
lead the class in saying a greeting to one another, then after that, the
checking of attendance will follow, then checking of assignments then
sometimes the teacher does some warm-up activities then introduces the
new lesson.
5. Is there a seating arrangement? What is the basis of this arrangement?

FS 1 The Learners Development and Environment

As I observed there is no seating arrangement, I observed that the


majority of the girls are at the front while the boys are seated at the
back. Boys who are seated at the back are commonly noisy.

6. Observe the noise level in the classroom. How is this managed?


Sometimes the noise level in the classroom cannot be managed but
when the teacher started to change her tone (mad tone), the students
attention are directly at the teacher. Sometimes, the teacher warns the
noisy students to send them out of the class so the students will follow
her but most of the time, the students are really noisy especially those
students at the back.
7. If a learner is not following instructions or is off-task, what does the
teacher do? Describe the behavior strategies used.
When the learner is off-task, the teacher then tells the student that
he/she is not following instructions. When the student is still not
following, then thats the time that the teacher will warn the student
about his behavior and take some actions regarding this matter.
8. What does the teacher do to reinforce positive behaviors? (behavior
strategies).
When a student has a desirable behavior, the teacher then gives
positive reinforcements to him/her. The teacher gives extra points to
those who will participate actively. The teacher will also give encouraging
remarks like very good to make the students to be motivated in
participating in the class.
Observation Notes:

Boys at the back are sometimes noisy.


They sometimes dont clean the room before 7:00am.
Students get easily distracted by noise.
Students span of attention is just short.
Some of the students cant work independently.

CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT MATRIX


Description

Effect on the Learners

1. Specific Areas in
the Classroom

At the back, there are no


things displayed there while in
the front area of the
classroom, there is only the
teachers table.

2. Classroom Rules

It is not in the classroom but


the students are aware of it
because the teacher always
reminds them about it.

3. Classroom
Procedures

The procedures are clear to


the students and its also
effective to the learning of the
students.
Sometimes, daily routines are
followed but sometimes there
are routines that are not
followed and forgotten too.

The classroom will be


spacious because there are
just few things that are
present in the classroom. It
will not be presentable to
the students.
Students will control their
behavior because there are
rules to be followed. By
this, they will learn to
discipline themselves.
The learning of the
students will be more
productive because of the
procedures implemented.
Students will be guided of
what will they do in the
whole period of class.
There will be no hassle or
problems if all is organized.
Some of the students will
not be closed because the
seating arrangement is
based on what seat the
students want to be
seated.
The learner will realize that
he/she is wrong about her
behavior, and then she/he
will not repeat his/her
behavior again.

Aspect of Classroom
Management

4. Daily Routines

5. Seating
Arrangement

The seating arrangement is


not observed in the room.
Majority of the girls are at the
front while boys are seated at
the back.

6. Handling
misbehavior/offtask behavior

The teacher will first tell the


student about his/her behavior
then if he/she is still not
listening, he/she will warn the
student instead of scolding.

(to be filled up after you


answer the analysis
questions)

My Analysis
1. How did the classroom organization and routines affect the learners
behavior?
The classroom organization and routines affects the learners behavior
because if the classroom and the routines are organized then the student will
be interested to learn. It will provide a good atmosphere for the students to
learn because they know that all is well-organized so everything will go well.
Good classroom organization + good classroom routine = productive
students.
2. What should the teacher have in mind when he/she designs the classroom
organization and routines? What theories and principles should ou have in
mind?
The teacher should think what will be the outcome of his/her designed
organization and routines. It must have a desirable and effective effect to the
learning of the students. The teacher must have the knowledge in organizing
and implementing procedures so that everything will go well. The teacher
must apply all the teaching principles he/she had learned, the techniques,
methods, strategies, approach, etc. and all the theories that h/she know
because it might help him/her in facilitating learning. If all of that will be
realized, then there will be a good effective classroom for the students.

3. Which behavior strategies were effective in managing the behavior of the


learners? In motivating students? Why were they effective?
The behavior strategy that is effective in managing the behavior of the
learners is giving them positive reinforcements if they are doing well in the
class. In this way, the learners will be motivated in participating the class
and will repeat their positive behaviors. Giving them encouraging remarks
like very good or giving them rewards is one of the main reasons why
students are motivated.

FS 1 The Learners Development and Environment

My Reflections
1. Imagine yourself organizing your classroom in the future. In what
grade/year level do you see yourself? What routines and procedures
would you consider for this level? Why?
If I am going to organize my classroom in the future, I will choose the
secondary level specifically the fourth year. I choose fourth year because
they are soon to graduate and I want to impart some knowledge and
values o them before they stepped into college. I will make some routines
that I know will be effective to them and procedures that will surely make
the classroom organized and conducive to learning. I will provide a
permissive and stimulating atmosphere to get the attention of the
learners to raise questions and I will create a desirable environment
through the use of a variety of instructional materials.
2. Make a list of the rules you are likely to implement in this level. Why
would you choose these rules?
If I am going to make rules, my rules are: students are strictly advised
to wear their proper uniforms, observe proper etiquette, speak kindly and
respectfully to each other, take care of the classroom equipment, late
comers should not be tolerated, everyone must pay attention if someone
is talking at the front,, and so on and so forth. I choose these rules
because the rules are not commonly observed and followed by the
students nowadays so I want it to be back and train them in order for
them to be disciplined.
3. Should learners be involved in making the class rules? Why?
For me, its a yes because its one way of the learners to express their
opinions or point of views about the classroom rules. This can be done the
classroom is democratic and all are open to share and speak out, however
the students should know their limits because teachers are still higher
than them. It depends on the teacher if he/she will let his/her students be
involved in making the class rules or the teacher will alone establish the
rules because for him/her, the classroom must be autocratic.

FS 1 The Learners Development and Environment

My Portfolio
Include here pictures of the classroom/s you observed.
Write descriptions/annotations about what you observed
in each photo.
Absolutely yes, the learners should be involved in
making the class rules for the reasons that they should be
aware about such thing as well, for them to be more
oriented and have an idea about the punishments and
sanctions that they will have whenever they violate the
rules and commit any mistakes.
