Your Target
At the end of this activity, you will be competent in appraising the effectiveness of
display boards as learning resources.

Your Map
Display boards, or what we more commonly refer to as bulletin board, is one of
the most readily available and versatile learning resources.
To reach your target, follow these steps:
Step 3: Propose enhancements to
make the display more effective.
Step 2: Pick one and evaluate the display.
Step 1: Look around a school for bulletin board
displays.

Date of Visit: _________

In my observation in the school, I saw bulletin boards in different
areas. Each subject has its own. I looked for Mathematics board, found in
their Math Center. There bulletin is about concept of Mathematics,
composed of images at the information arranged based on the idea. It
made up of colored papers, printed materials, and borders that
combination of color green. If you see it you can easily read the message

From among the board displays that you saw, pick the one that you got most
interested in. Evaluate it using the evaluation form below.

Your Analysis
Did the board display design reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why?
or Why not?
Yes, the display was actually the interest of the target because as
they knew that there is something interesting to see.

Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand?
Why? or Why not?
Yes, the language is written in English but it is in low level of the words
which can understand by the junior high school.

What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? or
Why not?
I think the purpose of the display board are to caught the attention of
the students and realize that math subject is interesting one. It is also
effective as I saw some students read it and the curiosity in their face.

What suggestions can you make?

I think the content must be balance. As it is one of the important characteristics of
an effective display board.

Based on your suggestions, purposed an enhanced version of the display board. Use the
form below.
My Purposed Board Display
Theme: The wonder of Mathematics.
Board Title: MATHAmazing
Rationale:
These bulletin Board is for the students to give attention, curiosity,
appreciation, and even love the Mathematics subject.
Objectives:
To teach students that Mathematics is a beautiful and interesting
subject.
Best features of my proposed Bulletin enhancement:
Different example of unique graphs and trivia.
Content resources:
The display shall contain pictures depicting the following content
resources:
Graph-The graphical presentation of a equation.
Trivia- Interesting about the Mathematics
Materials for aesthetic enhancement:
Pictures, Print outs of concepts, colored papers, styropore, glue and glue.

Based on your suggestions, make your own board display la-out. You may present
your output through any of these:
A hand-made drawing or lay-out
An electronic (computer) drawing/illustration or la-out
A collage

Your Reflections

Name at least 5 skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective
board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.
The teacher should possess the following to come up with the effective
board display:

Resourcefulness- he/she should use available resources rather than

to buy new but make sure that it still appearing pleasant.
Creativity- he/she must be creative in a way that its unique and
picture out the concept.
Ingenuity- he/she allows students to solve problems in the display
board.
Innovativeness- he/she must produce new ideas for the students
Elegance- he/she must look for the good design, balance and
combination of colors.

Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences in making
board displays. How do you practice these skills?
The skills that I already have are ingenuity, resourcefulness,
creativity, and elegance. I've experienced making this in my FS subject, and I
am practice this skills since I worked on it.

Which skills do you still need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve on or
acquire these skills.
I think I need to develop more innovative that the students can
acquire new and interesting ideas. I can improve on these skills by searching
and making new interesting ideas which is unique for them.
