Name of the School Observed: Cabuyao Integrated National High School

School Address: City of Cabuyao, Laguna
Date of Visit: September 25, 2019

Cabuyao Integrated National High School is located at Limcaoco Subdivision Poblacion Tres City of
Cabuyao, Laguna near the Community Hospital. It was an appropriate place since neighborhood is not a lot
and peace was easily maintained. The road that the students use to pass by was also indicated to become
one way road to lessen accidents.
The school was established in 1989 and since then buildings were provided and upgraded. The oldest
building you can see there is what they call College Building, where the ground floor was used as teachers’
faculties and the second floor was used as classrooms. Next to the oldest is the Japan-Philippines Friendship
building which may have been built at least ten years ago. Yet, the Hemedes building, the Dep Ed building,
the Senior High School buildings are all new and as a matter of fact there is an under construction building.
Most of the buildings were painted green, which gives relaxation to the eyes. The school use bright colors for
places which needs alertness whenever you need to use or pass by.
The offices were very impressive. Beyond the neatness and being organized there were this
approachable and respective office staffs and heads who accommodate visitors equally. The maintenance
personnel always make sure that the facilities around the school is in good condition for safe usage of the
students.
The school was built for a conducive learning so there is no doubt that the students choose to study
here.
 An Observation Classroom Visit
Be guided by these tasks as you do your observation. Then accomplish the matrix to record your data.
1. Look at the walls of the classroom. What are posted on the walls? What heroes, religious figures,
lessons, visual aids, announcements, do you see posted?
2. Examine how the pieces of furniture are arranged. Where is the teachers’ table located? How are the
tables and chairs/desks arranged?
3. What learning materials/equipment are present?
4. Observe the students. How many are occupying one room?
5. Is the classroom well-lit and well-ventilated?

 My Reflections/Insights
Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why not?
Yes of course, aside from the fact that it is my Alma matter and I have experienced the conducive
environment in learning when I was a student, I have seen that Cabuyao Integrated National High School
is continuously growing aligned to the needs of its learner.
1. What kind of school campus is conducive to learning?
In my own point of view, a certain school can be considered conducive to learning if it has relaxing
environment, complete and good facilities and accessible equipment. A school must be ready to embrace
each kind of students in any situation to provide them security and home.
2. What kind of classroom is conducive to learning?
A classroom can be considered conducive to learning if it is clean, must had enough space, proper
lightning, well ventilated, good furniture, complete learning materials which can be used to maximize
learning process. It should also be a non-threatening classroom where everyone feels that they were
accepted and the teachers promote a sound and viable intellectual climate.
3. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?
As a future educator, I will be focusing now on developing myself as an individual who is full of
dedication on this vocation so that no matter what kind of circumstance that I may encounter I can do
appropriate adjustments in order to fulfil my duties.
4. Write your additional learning and insight here.
I have learn the value of environment and other necessities which may look uncountable for
learning but have an impact adequate for extensive learning of the students. Simply because if a
student perceived his environment as not conducive to learning then he would not be motivated to
learn. The classroom should be conducive for the learners to be motivated and acquire all the
knowledge that the teacher wanted to impart.
 My Learning Portfolio
My Personal Illustration of an Effective School Environment

An effective school environment can be subjected as a place which has complete equipment and
facilities, yet beyond this requirements were the people who will manage to apply. Immediately on
observations, we can see if everything is available, we can smell if everything is clean, we can hear if there
are destructions however, imparting this on a daily routines stand in need of dedication. The maintenance of
having an effective school environment is still the most important.
By this means, people aligned to this matter should be observant, have a futuristic views and can
easily produce solution on any kind of situation. In accordance, this traits will contribute largely for efficiency
of every facilities and classrooms on the extensive learning process. For example, if the principal notices that
there were many lacking equipment on the laboratories then he/she should make an action plan to look
forward unto where to get the fund and up to what kind of equipment she should have to avail in order to
provide the students’ needs. Another, if the teacher has encountered difficulties due to lack of resources
he/she should coordinate to her colleagues and/or superiors to gain an action plan aligned to the schools
regulation. Nevertheless, students should also participate appropriately in order to succeed on this matter.
They should be well informed about everyone’s part for their environment will be as conducive as they wanted
to be.
It is not always the availability of the sources but at the same time it is the productivity of the involved.
