learning situation

Clarify Your Task

Let’s buckle down for work!


Overview of the Learning Environment
A learning environment, traditionally called the classroom, is a space in a school
that supports students’ learning. It is a self-contained area where teacher teaches
and children learn. In the classroom are chairs or tables for students and a front
table for the teacher. This a traditional face-to-face classroom. Most often the
students should face the teacher as the chairs are arranged that way. But as
teaching deliveries changed to enhance learning, modification in the seating
arrangement evolved and more opportunity for the learners to move about for
cooperative learning was addressed.

A conducive learning environment should have the following characteristics:


 Flexibility - There is opportunity to have small groups, movable walls.
 Openness – Learning corners/areas which could be shared.
 Access to resources – Audio-visual materials are ready and open for use.
 Physical classroom – Space is clean and safe.
 Psychological atmosphere – it is friendly and accommodating

The classroom climate nurtures the intellectual, physical, social and emotional
development of the students.

Here are some specific strategies for developing the optional classroom climate. You
may consider are:
1. Learning environment addresses both physical and psychological needs of
the students for security and order, love and belonging, personal power and
competence, freedom and fun.

2. Create a sense of order. For example, teacher should teach students how to
 Enter the classroom and become immediately engage in the activity;
 Distribute and collect materials;
 Find out about missed assignment due to absence and how to make
up for them;
 Get the teacher’s attention without disrupting the class and
 Arrange desks, tables quickly and quietly for various purposes.

3. Greet learners as they enter your face-to-face or on-line classroom.

4. In a healthy and conducive learning environment, everybody belongs and


knows each other.

5. In a conducive learning environment, success whether small or big is


recognized and celebrated.

Both approaches, either the traditional face-to-face or on-line, lead to positive


results but in different ways, so usually in practice both approaches are combined.

Analyze

learners are in the same room or space while in the second, the learners maybe in
different learning spaces like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases in parks or
under the trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for
learning? Choose between Learning Environment 1 or Learning Environment 2.
Explain your choice: Why?
