...OVERVIEW An effective school facility is responsive to the changing programs of educational delivery, and at a minimum should provide a physical environment that is comfortable, safe, secure, accessible, well illuminated, well ventilated, and aesthetically pleasing. The school facility consists of not only the physical structure and the variety of building systems, such as mechanical, plumbing, electrical and power, telecommunications, security, and fire suppression systems. The facility also includes furnishings, materials and supplies, equipment and information technology, as well as various aspects of the building grounds, namely, athletic fields, playgrounds, areas for outdoor learning, and vehicular access and parking. The school facility is much more than a passive container of the educational process: it is, rather, an integral component of the conditions of learning. The layout and design of a facility contributes to the place experience of students, educators, and community members. Depending on the quality of its design and management, the facility can contribute to a sense of ownership, safety and security, personalization and control, privacy as well as sociality, and spaciousness or crowdedness. When planning, designing, or managing the school facility, these facets of place experience should, when possible, be taken into consideration. Constructing New Facilities During strategic long-range educational planning, unmet facility space needs often emerge. The goal...

...Change and Culture Case Study II Change and Culture Case Study II Mergers are more than just two companies joining together to become one. There are additional changes that have to take place in order for the merging facilities to exist as one. The new organization mission and vision must be defined and communicated. There will also be a need to redesign and redirect nuisances, task, and job performance measures. The merger between Health care Facility A and Health Care Facility B was initiated six months ago. The merger created the Open Health Care Facility. This facility was forced to eliminate jobs because of duplicate positions and job responsibilities. Each health care facility contributed their own area experts in all fields and to align the staff with the budget allocations, staffing was reduced tremendously. There have been changes in the organizational structure, changes and enhancements in processes and production, and changes in the quantity of staff members. The newly structured administration sees a need for a redesign of patient care delivery because of all the changes and enhancements implemented. A suggestion was made to use the universal worker concept. Consider the words universal worker in a health care facility. This could mean that one person is capable of doing all task in every position and department. Can you say “burn out”? Burn out of employees could be one reason why the universal worker model often failed in other organizations...

...INADEQUATE QUALITY LEARNING MATERIALS AND FACILITIES IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL AFFECTING STUDENT’S EDUCATION A Research Presented to the Bachelor of Secondary Education of St. John Paull II College of Davao Ecoland Drive, Matina, Davao City In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements in the Subject of Writing in the discipline – English 2 Christian P. Ranises October 2014 Abstract In this research, it talks about the lack or limited quality learning materials like textbooks. The teacher doesn’t have the resources to be able to teach every aspect that needs to be taught. The students are missing gaps on their education and the opportunities for hands on learn experiences. A study that states that more and more students are kinesthetic learners. If the schools systems lack the supplies to provide these opportunities then they are missing out on a learning opportunity. These missed opportunities result in lack of knowledge and material. This problem change the behavioral area of the students. Introduction Without the right materials, students disconnect and eventually drop out. When schools are not provided with the resources they need to teach then the students are the ones that being affected. The students are lacking the best education possible when they don’t have these materials. (Dan O’Connor, Lyons Public Schools in Brooklyn New York state’s 2012). Our students already have doubts about their importance and the value of school...

This research is merely concerned to the Engineering student of University of Mindanao of how they react with a certain environment in this University. As a team researcher, we also aimed to bring important information not only to the student but also to the faculties and staff of University of Mindanao on how they address the impact of having conducive environment to the particular student. In the process of continuous learning, learning environment plays important rule in nurturing student to become a better citizen in this world. Since, we are prone in the digital period with high-tech facilities and equipment. We are obliged to take the challenge of learning as our first priority to develop as an individual. The first learning experiences in school create a foundation for successful reading by fostering favorable impression of what is to be derived from the book and language use. Programs should also accommodate children’s varied stages of social and intellectual development. Research has shown that children with rich experiential and language backgrounds are better prepared for beginning reading than children who lack such background (Grolier Encyclopedia, 1995).

...complete facilities they will gain great achievement and could help the students boost their performance. And having a good facility appear to be an important requirement for student learning, provided that the other conditions are present that support a strong academic program in the school. Also, they ensure the safety of the students by constructing their buildings to satisfy high-level earthquake resistance standards. The buildings are designed to minimize structural damage in the event of an earthquake. So that, the students will not be worried about their safety anymore and they can concentrate their minds in studies. Today, the government of the Philippines was creating new government that aims to focus on the education of their citizens. The Philippines have started to implement a new educational system which is the compulsory K-12 educational system that includes the new curricula for all schools (Wikipedia, March 10, 2014). It aims to fully enhance and develop the students in order for them to be well-prepared especially in emotional and cognitive aspects, and to uplift the quality of education in the Philippines to meet the standards required for professionals (eldevenir-neocoach.blogspot.com, March 10, 2014). But they cannot fully get the result that they want because of lack in the school facilities.

...and afterwards, they shape us.” - Winston Churchill Is it possible to design a classroom that measurably improves academic performance? With the emergence of evidence-based design this is indeed possible. Evidence-based design is the process of basing decisions about the built environment on credible research to achieve the best possible outcomes. Evidence-based design first emerged in the design of health care facilities. The result of measuring the influence of various design factors on patient outcomes has considerably altered the design of hospitals and other medical facilities over the past several years. Evidence-based design is increasingly focusing on educational facilities and is an emerging influence on the design of schools. Particularly intriguing are studies that correlate certain aspects of learning environments with academic performance. Evidence-based design has also investigated other measurable outcomes including improved student attendance, reduced disciplinary problems, and better faculty retention. Focusing on classroom interiors, sev studies over the past several years establish links between specific design characteristics and academic performance. Importantly, each of these design characteristics can be readily implemented in both new and modernized schools. NATURAL LIGHTING The first and perhaps best-known evidence-based research into K12 facilities occurred in 1999. In a study of over 21,000 students, Heschong Mahone Group...

...TEACHING WITH E-LEARNING: A CASE STUDY Nicholaus Thomas Andrade Hall Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield Western Bank,, Sheffield, S10 2TN, United Kingdom José Miguel Baptista Nunes Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield Western Bank, Sheffield, S10 2TN, United Kingdom ABSTRACT The objectivist nature of lecture -based teaching is often perceived to be unsuited to encourage deep learnin g and the acquisition of contextualised transferable skills. On the other hand, collaborative and active e -learning is seen to be an approach capable of fostering these highly desirable outcomes in the learning process. However, given the pragmatic needs and constraints of teaching and learning in Higher Education (HE), lectures are still the prevalent mode of imparting knowledge to students. In order to try and improve the learning experience of students undertaking a course in Information Systems, the research team, with considerable experience in online learning, tried to combine objectivist lectures with a moderate constructivist learning process facilitated by a WebCT online resource. This paper presents the design and development of such an e -learn ing environment and discusses how e -learning can be applied to complement and support traditional on-campus teaching. The e -learning resource aims at providing students with content materials, self-assessment facilities, case-study materials and infrastru ctures for online learning activities....

...for all students, teachers, and staff members. Without a safe learning environment, teachers may have difficulty teaching and students may find their environment a difficult one in which to learn. (DeVoe, J. et al., 2012). Priorities set by schools, local authorities, and state and federal government have prompted the nation to focus on improving the safety of American schools. The safety of our school facilities has become one of the largest issues in education and has continued to be a concern of great importance. Although the most recent national indicators demonstrate that larger gains have been made in recent years, safety issues remain substantial problems in US school buildings. Between 2004 and 2012, there was a 46 percent decrease in the violent crime victimization rate at school. Despite this decline, students who are between the ages of 12 through 18 were victims of about 700,000 violent crimes and 1.2 million crimes of theft at school in the year 2012. (DeVoe, J. et al., 2012). Among the top trends in school safety are violence, theft, bullying, drugs, and most importantly, firearms. These issues continue to grow in many schools throughout the country indicating that more remains to be done to make our school facilities safer. Furthermore, accurate information about the nature, extent, and scope of the problem being addressed is essential in developing effective programs that support safe facilities. However, as local budgets around the US continue to decrease...
