LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the episodes, the students should be able to:
1. review the ideal attributes of a school’s learning resource center
2. observe your school’s learning resource center
3. reflect on how a school’s learning resource center impacts student’s learning
INSTRUCTIONS:
List all the learning resources available in the learning resource center of the school you are
visiting or where you are enrolled now. Briefly describe the resources and write down their contribution
to the teaching – learning process.
LEARNING RESOURCE WHAT DOES IT DO?
Printed resources Resources that are printed on paper are
known as print resources. Print resources
are copies that are printed on paper, such
as actual books and newspapers.
Audio & Visual resources Our senses of hearing and seeing are used
to make the learning experiences as vivid
as feasible. As a result, audio visual
content includes any tool that can be
utilized to enhance learning by making it
more real-world, dynamic, and concrete.
ICT related resources ICTs have the ability to break down
conventional barriers to information sharing,
to give previously voiceless groups a voice,
and to supply useful information that
improves economic, health, and educational
activities.
School library The school library is a crucial learning
space that can help students achieve
education’s goals in a big way. Its major
purpose is to provide instructors and
students with access to the availability of
supplementary learning resources in order
to foster good reading and study habits and
the capacity to utilize these resources
effectively and efficiently as tools for
learning and teaching.
1. Which learning resources present in the learning resource center you visited are the most useful
to the students and teachers at the school?
Audio and visual resources in the learning resource center are like bridges between abstract
concepts and understanding, making learning more accessible and engaging for both students
and teachers. These resources cater to diverse learning styles, allowing students to grasp
complex ideas through visualizations and auditory explanations, which can often speak louder
than words on a page. For teachers, they serve as powerful tools to bring lessons to life, making
education a more dynamic and inclusive experience. The ability to see and hear concepts in
1
EDU 600| Field Study 1
action not only enhances retention but also sparks curiosity, transforming the learning process
into an immersive journey of discovery.
2. What specific concerns may arise given the absence of some resources in the school you visited?
The absence of certain resources in the school my visited may lead to specific concerns such
as gaps in students’ learning experiences and challenges for teachers in delivering
comprehensive education. Without essential materials like updated textbooks, technology, or
specialized equipment, students might miss out on critical knowledge and skills, making it
harder for them to compete academically. Teachers may struggle to adapt lessons to meet
diverse learning needs, potentially leading to disengagement and lower academic performance.
To acquire these missing resources, the school could explore several strategies. Applying for
grants from educational foundations, forming partnerships with local businesses, or engaging
the community through fundraising events could provide the necessary funds. Additionally, the
school could reach out to alumni or seek donations of used equipment and materials from other
institutions. Prioritizing these efforts will help bridge the resource gap, ensuring that all students
have the tools they need for a well-rounded education.
3. How do you think the school could acquire these resources?
The school could acquire these resources by exploring a variety of approaches:
1. **Grant Applications**: The school could apply for educational grants from government
programs, private foundations, or non-profit organizations that support schools in need
of resources.
2. **Community Fundraising**: Organizing fundraising events such as bake sales, charity
runs, or school fairs can engage the local community and raise money for necessary
resources. Crowdfunding platforms can also be used to gather donations from a broader
audience.
3. **Partnerships with Local Businesses**: Collaborating with local businesses or
corporations can lead to sponsorships or donations of materials, technology, or even
financial support. Companies often seek to give back to their communities, making this a
mutually beneficial arrangement.
4. **Alumni Support**: Reaching out to alumni can be a valuable resource. Former students
who have a connection to the school may be willing to contribute financially or donate
resources to support the current generation of students.
5. **Donations and Resource Sharing**: The school could establish partnerships with other
schools, universities, or libraries to share resources or receive donations of books,
computers, and other educational materials.
6. **Government and NGO Assistance**: Leveraging government programs or non-
governmental organizations that focus on education can provide access to resources or
funding, especially for schools in underserved areas.
By combining these strategies, the school can work towards acquiring the necessary resources
to enhance the educational experience for its students.
INSIGHTS AND REFLECTION
What insights and reflections can you derive from listing the resources and understanding what
it does in the teaching-learning process?
Reflecting on and listing the resources used in the teaching-learning process offers valuable
insights into how education can be enhanced. By identifying what resources are available and
understanding their impact, educators can pinpoint gaps in the learning experience and seek
ways to fill them, ensuring a more comprehensive and equitable environment for all students.
This process highlights the importance of integrating diverse tools that cater to different learning
styles and needs, fostering a more dynamic and engaging educational experience. It also
2

emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and innovation, encouraging educators to
regularly assess and adapt their resources to keep pace with evolving educational demands.
Ultimately, this reflection not only promotes better resource utilization but also drives efforts to
create a supportive, inclusive, and resource-rich learning ecosystem that benefits both students
and teachers.

PROCESSING QUESTIONS AND ANALYSIS
1. In the specific classroom you were tasked to observe, how do the bulletin board display affect the
overall learning atmosphere? Explain.
There are many uses for bulletin boards. They can communicate a range of messages, including
schedule updates, parent news, curriculum summaries, and student work displays. Additionally,
they can publicize learning. Class or school identities are reflected on bulletin boards. In
addition to demonstrating our values, bulletin boards that make learning visible outside of the
classroom also provide chances for reflection, assist students in making connections
between many subject areas, and add to the body of public knowledge. A sense of community
within a learning community can also be fostered by bulletin boards.
2. What is the value of a bulletin board display in the learning experience of students?
Making learning visible through bulletin boards concentrates on both what was learnt and
done. Bulletin boards are the ideal tool for incorporating Acceleration, Depth,
Complexity, and Novelty—the four pillars of gifted instruction—into the fundamental
academic requirements. Students can seethe links that exist between and across the
various disciplines by using bulletin boards designed around a common theme (acceleration).
To further concentrate students' study of the primary source materials, the depth and complexity
prompts might be included into the creation of a bulletin board. Additionally, bulletin boards can
provide as a springboard for independent study initiatives based on student interest, preference,
and aptitude .
INSIGHTS AND REFLECTION
1. Group Task: Design your own Bulletin Board within the characteristics mentioned above.
2. What insights and reflection can you derive from this specific field study experience?
My understanding from this particular field study of experience is that, bulletin boards
can convey a wide range of information. Additionally, they can showcase learning. What was
learnt as well as what was taught are highlighted on bulletin boards that make
learning apparent was finished. They mix learning about learning with learning material and
show both the learning process and the end result. Frequently, they incorporate both what the
students learnt and what the adult learned.
