At the end of this Learning Episode, I must be able to revisit the concept of
learning environment in the context of the current teaching and learning
situation.

Overview of the Learning Environment
A learning environment, traditionally called the classroom, is a space in a school
that supports student learning. It is a self-contained area where teacher teaches and
children learn. In the classroom are chairs or tables for students and front table for the
teacher. This is 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 optimal classroom climate.
You may consider these.
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 engaged in the activity:
distribute and collect materials:
find out about missed assignments 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. Encourage class building activities like games and team activities
6. In a conducive learning environment, success whether small or big is recognized
and celebrated.
Both approaches, either the traditional face-to-face or online, lead to positive
results but in different ways, so usually in practice both approaches are combined.

Analyze
The examples above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the
learners are in the same room or space while in the school, the learners maybe in different
learning spaces like homes, study hubs or in extreme cases 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.
