Learning Environment And Instructional Practice
Student ratings can provide teachers, administrators, and researchers with valuable information about the learning environment and instructional
practice, and have become a critical component in policy efforts to assess and improve teaching. Seventeen states and many large municipalities
including Chicago, Illinois, Memphis, Tennessee and Denver, Colorado include student ratings as a key component in formative and summative
teacher evaluation plans (Partee, 2012). Several other states and municipalities, including Los Angeles, are in the process of developing or piloting
student surveys for future use in teacher evaluation (Phillips & Yamashiro, 2013). Advocates note that students are natural observers of their classroom
environments, have extensive and rich knowledge of their teachers, and that student ratings can be predictive of important outcomes, such as student
academic and socio–emotional development. In addition, student ratings are relatively easy and cost–effective to collect, particularly in comparison to
structured classroom observations, (Rothstein & Mathis, 2013; Rowan & Correnti, 2009; Balch, 2012) which are perhaps the most widely used
method for collecting data about instructional practice (Rowan & Correnti, 2009; Partee, 2012; Pianta & Hamre, 2009; Taylor & Tyler, 2012;
MartГnez, Taut & Schaaf, 2013). Student ratings are often collected using surveys or questionnaires, and inferences about instructional practices and

Effective Teaching And Learning Environment
Explanatory statement:
The ultimate goal is to be an authentic and effective teacher, who creates a classroom atmosphere, where students feel safe in their learning
environment and become self–confident individuals. Furthermore, teachers must possess both comprehensive pedagogical knowledge and an
exceptional content knowledge in their chosen specialty field to create a positive, effective, and authentic learning environment. An effective learning
environment, in accordance with The Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority, provides learners with general capabilities, content
and encourages confident, involved learners and effective communicators (2014). The Australian Professional Teaching Standards define the elements
required to ensure high quality teaching explicitly across seven standards. However, it is worthy of note that all seven standards are interrelated and
complementary in establishing an effective teaching and learning environment for all students.
This particular performance assessment component is based on six year 10 Mathematics lessons, which were taught during my second teaching
practicum at William Ross State High School. An extensive range of data was collected and used to facilitate the pedagogical approaches used in each
of the six lessons.
Data from Oneschool (see component 1), a selection of student's prior assessment (see component 1) and summative assessment (see component 1) for
the unit, allowed me to identify students' academic

Learning Environment in Clinical Practice
Clinical practice in hospital plays an important part of learning environment for nursing curriculum. Mc Cabe (1985) thinks that clinical learning
experience provides students for knowledge and socializing in professional education. 'Furthermore, the professional socialization of nursing students
occurs largely in the practice setting' (Windsor 1987.Lee & French 1997).

Online Learning Environment Analysis
Online courses provide an opportunity to create a highly social learning environment that enables students and teachers to participate and interact.
Learning in a group is an important way to help students gain experience and share diverse perspectives in critical thinking and deeper understanding of
the learned material. Students in an online learning environment must be responsible for their own learning. Cultivate the spirit of innovation and
releasing students' creativity are the important goals of education today. Group collaboration as a result, each student's learning ability, interest in

the whole class of how their team is progressing and what steps they are taking to make this project sustainable and environmentally friendly. Students
are also to make journal entries after each lesson and reflect on their learning and how their project is proceeding. I have decided this project will be
suitable for your class because by reading the student's profiles I was able to establish that students enjoy working in groups and care deeply about the

Disadvantages Of Virtual Learning Environment
The past decades were marked by the rapid development of the technology and the Internet. Such rapid development has enabled the development of
many other modern methods and approaches, such as virtual learning environment (VLE), i.e. learning via the Internet []. A virtual learning
environment allows learners and all others engaged in education and teaching to free themselves from the limitations of time and space, and carry out
learning interactions in a flexible timeframe and virtual sites that are not physically tied to one another. So, the VLE can be consider as a kind of
online learning platform which allows teachers to share educational materials with their students via the web. Additionally, the development and

Due to that, the use of the VLE has increased and most of schools and universities now have a functioning Virtual Learning Environment as a part of

It is important to highlight the deference between the virtual learning environment and the virtual campus, which people usually equate. The virtual
campus relates just to the University courses, while the virtual learning environment relates to many other sectors. Also, if we are talking about the

Literature Review : Learning Environments
Literature Review
Learning environments are important spaces because these are where students spend most hours trying to finish tasks. It is said that almost 20,000
hours students spend by the completion of university (Fraser 2015). University spaces and home learning spaces are separate areas for learning (Grant
2011), students tend create a relationship between both and make their own "Personal Learning Agendas". Learning spaces can vary from single cells
to modern day learning studios, the designs of these studios effect the learning outcomes of students (Alsaif 2014).
"Learning environment" refers to a place or space, school, library: social, physical, psychological ad pedagogical context in which learning takes place
and inversely affects student outcomes (Afari 2013). Furthermore, in reality 21st century learning takes place in physical environment like these, it

Architecture Classes : Blended Learning Environments
Both Architecture classes were blended learning environments, one of which combined classroom and online learning (Bender & Vredevoogd, 2006).
The conjecture was that blended learning enhanced studio courses by allowing all course material to be viewed by all and by having critiques
accessible to all students. Although the supposition was that the students would be able to garner understanding from comments made to others in their
class and that the electronic collaboration would allow for greater flexibility in reviewing, submitting and refining data, not all students were able to
discern and apply comments and suggestions about their work not made directly to them. Instructors also faced increased workloads and there was
diminished student–teacher interaction, as class sizes grew larger due to the online format. Still it was believed to greatly enhance the traditional
face–to–face studio course (Bender & Vredevoogd, 2006). The final architecture study looked at student satisfaction when comparing computer done
artwork with hand renderings (И enyapili & Basa, 2006). In that instance, even though the students said they would use the computer to keep up with
current market trends, they preferred the look and emotional appeal of the hand–produced renderings. Literature Summary The authors in the studies

The administrators of the Malaysian School System emphasized the importance of each learner being able to use the computer in a very practical way.
The study purported a quantitative study of students from ten selected schools within ten different states to measure the students' degree of computer
literacy. The Malaysian School System administrators wanted to increase English fluency as a primary objective of the study. The findings from the
study showed the statistics of the stakeholders who were participating and the growth of their participation. It is significant to note that this study was
one of a few research studies that had been conducted concerning the Malaysian School System. There were seven high schools and three primary
schools participating in this quantitative study. Out of a total of 608 students, 304 were chosen to participate in the Constructivism Learning

existed, but was not accepted. Diversity carries little to no meaning without inclusivity. However, inclusivity brings meaning to diversity by ensuring a

Why is it Important to Create an Inclusive Learning...
Creating an inclusive learning environment is an extremely important aspect of modern education, which, according to Gravells (2008: p18), ensures
that "[...] all learners are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone is an individual, with different experiences, abilities and needs." She
also offers a brief explanation of inclusivity (2008: p18), which is "[...] involving all learners in relevant activities rather than excluding them for any
reason directly or indirectly." Inclusion has also been defined by John Tomlinson (1996: p26) as "the greatest degree of match or fit between individual
learning requirements and provision". In the other words, inclusive learning environment nurtures individual potential of all learners,... Show more

The main objective of differentiation is to promote inclusive learning environment, by identifying and addressing the individual needs of all learners
and working towards removing any barriers they may have. The most effective method of differentiating is to ensure that resources and assessment
methods, as well as teaching and learning approaches meet individual learner needs. According to Francis and Gould (2013) setting a single
objective for a whole group will not be appropriate for all learners, due to the diversity of the group, therefore, as Gravells (2008) suggests we must
identify the learning needs, styles, aspirations and potential of our learners. At this very stage, any barriers and boundaries should be identified, so the
teaching and learning approaches, assessment methods and resources can be planned accordingly. When setting up an inclusive learning environment
we need to focus on individual differences. Francis and Gould (2013: p65) explain, that "it is important to recognise the differences in the learners we
teach, as these influence how we interact with them." Francis and Gould (2013) list few typical differences, like age, physical disability, mental health
issues, ethnicity, etc. Our first step to identify the individual learning style of the learners' (ergo to identify their needs), is performing 'VAK' (visual,

How Diverse Learning Environment Shape University Students...
A learning environment is described as the totality of factors such as the different physical locations, cultures and contexts that students learn. The term
'environment' is used interchangeably but not to describe the physical locations which can be out of class or classroom settings as well as outdoor
activities. When talking of the learning environment, of high interest is the diversion from the conventional connotations of a room with desks and a
chalkboard. This definition is cognisant that students can learn in various ways and in different contexts because with learning, the aim is creating an
environment that brings optimum learning capacity. However, there is no single learning environment that can be described as optimum but there are
factors that contribute to such environments. Among these factors are diversity which requires appreciation of other cultural, social, ethnic, religious
and other backgrounds by both the institution and students. In order to full appreciate diversity, it is important to break all forms of stereotypes that
are the source of imbalances. This paper looks at how diverse learning environment shape university students learning experience.

An example of such a lesson was when I taught vertical subtraction with borrowing. I selected students to demonstrate the steps in solving the equation
using MABs while I demonstrated writing the equation and working out on the whiteboard. I explained each step along the way, ensuring students
understood that when borrowing the value of the number remains the same, when and why we borrow and how it works. Most students were confident
at this stage and went to work on some problems. For students who were still unsure, as a smaller group we worked on equations together, with students
writing on mini whiteboards and using MABs. These students were then confident to work on the equations. This allowed me to check what other
students had been doing, ask questions to ensure understanding and to encourage students to find errors they may have made, praise the work of
students, and provide feedback to students to best assist them in correctly solving the equations. Students concluded by reflecting on what they had

Applying A Collaborative Learning Environment
Have you ever pondered the question – What is education? This simple, yet complex, question can be answered differently as everyone 's perception
of how education impacts his life is unique. When I meet someone, I used to ask what he did for a living as it reflected his education background
which allowed me to determine how educated he is. The reality is that the name of a distinguished university attended or the title of a high salary
earning career gives us an idea of the level of scholarship. As today 's system of education will continually undergo progressive refinement, I believe
that it is crucial to dissect the significance of education and provide students with principles to apply to their everyday learning experience and not just a
label on their diploma. At the prestigious TC I dream to fervently study to spark the working minds of aspiring scholars to explore the authentic
meaning and function of education. In addition, I hope to create a collaborative learning environment in schools filled with curiosity and inquiry in
which all participants are both teachers and learners. Looking for wisdom, I have asked my colleagues about what education meant to them and the
majority interpreted it as a transmission of knowledge from a teacher to a student. I disagreed because it sounded as though the realm of academia
simply consisted of a transfer of knowledge that can result in either a successful delivery or omission of expected action. Education is not merely a

The Early Years Learning Environment
The early years learning environment is dominated by a play– orientated pedagogy. That is, a child's learning is enhanced in an environment where
there is an equal balance between child and adult initiated activities. The role of the practitioner is to create this balance while planning for the
activities to incorporate the statutory framework. A key way in which a practitioner can plan for a child's activities is through making observations.
Observations allow the practitioner find in depth knowledge about the child and what their interests are. It also gives us an understanding of the child's
development (Palaiologu, 2012).
Many theorists such as Montessori and Issacs have used observations to develop their theories. For example ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
"Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self–assured" (Department for Education, 2014)
This quote tells us that practitioners need to plan for every child to ensure that they develop and learn, so that all children who are entering key
stage one are at the same level be that knowledge or development. The practitioner should use the Early Years Statutory Framework (EYFS) to
ensure every child is ready to enter schooling. The EYFS was put in place in 2008 and was made mandatory in 2012 (Hobart and Frankel, 2009)
this means that all children should be working to the same outcome in all early years settings, hence by the end of the foundation stage every child
should have gained valuable experience and knowledge, which will prepare them for school as well as later life. As every child is unique, and

Comparing Learning Environments Paper
Comparing Learning Environments Molly Millard Walden University Comparing Learning Environments The purpose of this paper is to discuss the
similarities, differences, pros, and cons between face–to–face classrooms, distance learning, and hybrid environments. The role of the instructor and
student both change depending on the learning style chosen. Some are better for some students, and others are best due to time restrictions or the
material being taught. There is not one strategy that will work for every class, each should be selected specifically for the environment and to fit the
student's needs. Similarities The three different learning environments studied have a few similarities. Each type has some form of classroom, an
instructor imparting the subject material to the learner, subject material, and expectation of the student will successfully learn the material. Roles and
Responsibilities The roles and responsibilities of the teacher in each environment change depending on the environment. In the traditional classroom,
the teacher acts as an authoritative figure that provided the instruction to the learners (Haynes, 2015). The instructor in the face–to–face environment
controls the resources, the order of learning, and time spent in the classroom.... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The traditional face–to–face classroom fosters a relationship between the students and teacher with their direct contact and interactions (Banna, 2014).
This setting also provides for ease of communications, ease in completing group activities, and for the teacher to observe the student practicing the new
skills. The information becomes richer because, the student feels the entire experience, not just hearing and seeing the material presented to them
(Banna, 2014). The teacher can adapt their teaching style at that any moment if they see issues by how the student reacts during the class, which

Learning Outcomes in a Nursing Environment
Learning Outcome Report Overview
Introduction
The need for nurses to gain extensive knowledge in handling complex issues within their professional environment is a need whose significance goes
without saying. In Australia and other regions of the world, this factor holds such an importance to the extents that nurses and midwives, in their
different capacities are engaged within the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program in enhancing their capacities. The purpose of this
report is to explore the learning outcomes in a nursing environment in which various components of acute care were involved. In consideration of the
acute care needs under discussion, the repost focuses on the learning areas which would be relevant to the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Council
(ANMC) standards. Focus on the needs associated with CPD is widespread here. As such, the dates, the duration of activities and outcome descriptions
for each of the activities are provided. Additionally, the discussion demonstrates the aspects of priorities given to certain learning needs, learning plan
development, participation in appropriate learning activities and their values as required within the CPD Standards. The acute care learning needs of

Teacher Education, 2 219–231. The Cognitive Apprenticeship framework focuses on the process of learning and considers the student experience (and
student perceptions of the experience) to be at the center of the learning context10. Student perceptions of the environment are considered by some to
have even more influence on student learning than does the "actual" environment, as the perceptions influence the way a student approaches a task, and
thus, ultimately impact the quality of learning outcomes11. Research consistently demonstrates that students' perceptions of their environment account
for an appreciable amount of variance in learning outcomes12, even when prior knowledge and general ability were controlled13.

This will negatively affect the teacher's first years of being an educator when their own classroom management program isn't teaching all the necessary

Personal Learning Environment And Learning Environments
The Challenge I chose was Advancing Personal Learning. Personal Learning is the tailoring of curriculum and learning environments by learners or
for learners in order to meet their different learning needs and aspirations. Before I go into the details of why I chose this topic, it is important to know
what Personal Learning Environments, a current form of Personal Learning, actually are. A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) are systems that
help learners take control of and manage their own learning(Wikipedia). These systems are centered on the user, and are tailored to each individual to
allow them to set their own learning goals, manage the process of taking in content, and to help them learn to communicate with others. Since these
PLEs are user–specific, it is significantly harder to carry out on a large scale, but after they are able to be implemented, it is a lot easier to coordinate
and manage from a supervisor or teacher perspective. There are already examples of more broad forms of PLEs, such as iGoogle, Edline, and Moodle.
These examples are more general and will work for most people because what each person does with the access to material and content is up to them.
However, I believe that personal learning can be advanced to greater heights than that.
I chose the topic Advancing Personal Learning because I think learning is by far one of the most important things in life. Societies rely on each

Collaborative learning
We as societies are hindered in advancement by secluding ourselves alone. Learning in groups working together adds an element of scaffolding and
accountability to learning. The shared construction of meaning is most visible and available for research at the small–group unit of analysis, where it
appears as group cognition (Stahl et al., 2006). Social cohesion adds elements of accountability and a sense of enjoyment, camaraderie, and social
acceptance of all cultures. Adding to the literature, Akyol & Garrison, 2014, Community of Inquiry argues "Social presence may well have more
influence in informal learning environments, K–12 settings, or in online learning where students are new to this medium (Akyol, & Garrison, p.18,
2014). Positive reinforcement striving to acquire meaningful relationships build lifelong ethical citizens.
Social Interaction in learning.
Sharing and cooperation have passed the tests of time. As humans, we are constantly looking for that human connection and membership within a
group. A complex of simultaneously applied instructional approaches, each reinforcing and/or complementing the other can enhance collaborative
learning and social interaction amongst group members (Kreijns et al. p.338, 2003). Working together has never been so important, and effective
teamwork never so stressed, bringing people together who would otherwise be easily divided with technology.

Personal Learning Environment Essay
INTRODUCTION
Today there is clearly a focus on raising standards and improving the performance of all students, including personalized learning. Personal Learning
Environments give students ownership of their learning experience encouraging them to embrace educational goals, opportunities and activities.
Students are as different as the diverse ways in which they learn. The traditional ways of learning where the class is teacher directed is steadily changing
to a more students centered environment where students can flourish. Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are systems that are devised to
encourage learners to take control of and manage their own learning. A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) describes the tools, communities, and
services that constitute the individual educational platforms learners use to direct their own learning and pursue educational goals.
Differentiation is a way of teaching; it's not a program or package of worksheets. It asks teachers to know their students well so they can provide each
one with experiences and tasks that will improve learning. A PLE is frequently contrasted with a learning management system in that an LMS tends to
be centralized on the coursework, whereas a PLE is centralized on the learner. At the same time, a PLE may or may not intersect with an institutional
LMS, and individuals might integrate components of an LMS into the educational environments that they construct for themselves. A typical PLE, for
example, might

that reason, I consider that the stage which is the most appropriate to that style of activity is cooperative play. In her book, "Creating Effective Learning

In the second case, Jairo was playing by himself. He repeated several times the alphabet using Mr. Potato's mouth to express his cognitive

doing it. Section 4
Environment and Materials In general, people believe that the atmosphere has a big role in the learning environment. It is not an exception in the
preschool room of my field placement centre. The children are encouraged to play because the environment is adequate and has maximized learning
spaces, indoor space and storage. First, in terms of space maximization there is not too much room to have many learning centres. According to
Crowther, "One way to maximize space is by placing centres that are linked closer together so that the space and many of the materials can be shared
effectively" (Crowther, 2016, p. 38). It is one of the most amazing things that they do in this preschool room. The children can play with sand or water

Importance Of Learning Environment Essay
Learning is the best friend in the whole life, he is everywhere and always being around. People need a specific environment to learn, so most people
learn knowledge from school, and they spend their first twenty years of life in the school. Now, schools and teachers have their obligatory
responsibility to teach the knowledge and skills that students should know before they go into the society. Learning is never stopping even though after
graduated from school. All the people like to have a wonderful school life, then it leads to a magnificent work life and family life. Therefore, the ideal
learning environment should be combined with teamwork, should be interesting enough that attract students have passion on, should be learning in a
positive climate, and should be provided multiple materials.
I believe that one plus one greater than two which means teamwork always is the most important learning aspect in the ideal learning environment. The
work did with a team always had more effective results. Each individual has his/her own thoughts and capabilities, so when they combined together in
one team, there will be many problems happening. People are gregarious animals, so they cannot live alone without others. Even later in the workplace,
people have to work together. Therefore, in the classroom, the teachers have to prepare the teamwork for students to practice their skills which are

The Learning Environment
1. The learning environment is dynamic and will be different for each training situation. Among the individual variables that can impact the learning
environment include personality traits (especially extraversion) and communication styles. Personality traits and differences among individual
participants will be most evident in the first few hours, or perhaps sessions, of the training because the participants have not yet had time to relax into
their new environment. Learning styles will also be different among the participants, which will showcase personality trait differences even more. A
trainer can easily work with a variety of people and different learning and personality styles by developing a dynamic and diverse training system. The
learning environment should be one that promotes inclusivity, to allow different types of people to have the opportunity to engage in the training.
Communication styles can create problems, which trainers do need to understand when designing the learning environment. Ensuring that people can
interact with the trainer and provide feedback will minimize problems that arise when people do not express their concerns openly. Listening carefully
to all participants, even when they have a complaint, is essential.

There are different ways VLE's can improve studying for distant Learners. Firstly, online discussions and forums can be used for conversations and can
be useful to exchange ideas between other students. Questions can be posted in forums, and the "peers", "e–Tutor" and "facilitators" can meet them
online. For example, if a student has a doubt or something that is not understood, posting it in the forums can be answered. These online tutors are
pleased to provide feedback 24 hours. Secondly the learning materials can be viewed and used online. It is more cost effective and environment
friendly as it reduces the consumption of papers. Thirdly the digital library can be particularly useful for researching and information gathering
provided by the college. This electronic library can be accessed overseas and is an essential resource to students who are studying in a Virtual learning

Learning Environment And Instructional Practice

  • 1. Learning Environment And Instructional Practice Student ratings can provide teachers, administrators, and researchers with valuable information about the learning environment and instructional practice, and have become a critical component in policy efforts to assess and improve teaching. Seventeen states and many large municipalities including Chicago, Illinois, Memphis, Tennessee and Denver, Colorado include student ratings as a key component in formative and summative teacher evaluation plans (Partee, 2012). Several other states and municipalities, including Los Angeles, are in the process of developing or piloting student surveys for future use in teacher evaluation (Phillips & Yamashiro, 2013). Advocates note that students are natural observers of their classroom environments, have extensive and rich knowledge of their teachers, and that student ratings can be predictive of important outcomes, such as student academic and socio–emotional development. In addition, student ratings are relatively easy and cost–effective to collect, particularly in comparison to structured classroom observations, (Rothstein & Mathis, 2013; Rowan & Correnti, 2009; Balch, 2012) which are perhaps the most widely used method for collecting data about instructional practice (Rowan & Correnti, 2009; Partee, 2012; Pianta & Hamre, 2009; Taylor & Tyler, 2012; MartГnez, Taut & Schaaf, 2013).

  • 2. Effective Teaching And Learning Environment Explanatory statement: The ultimate goal is to be an authentic and effective teacher, who creates a classroom atmosphere, where students feel safe in their learning environment and become self–confident individuals. Furthermore, teachers must possess both comprehensive pedagogical knowledge and an exceptional content knowledge in their chosen specialty field to create a positive, effective, and authentic learning environment. An effective learning environment, in accordance with The Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority, provides learners with general capabilities, content and encourages confident, involved learners and effective communicators (2014). The Australian Professional Teaching Standards define the elements required to ensure high quality teaching explicitly across seven standards. However, it is worthy of note that all seven standards are interrelated and complementary in establishing an effective teaching and learning environment for all students. This particular performance assessment component is based on six year 10 Mathematics lessons, which were taught during my second teaching practicum at William Ross State High School. An extensive range of data was collected and used to facilitate the pedagogical approaches used in each of the six lessons. Data from Oneschool (see component 1), a selection of student's prior assessment (see component 1) and summative assessment (see component 1) for the unit, allowed me to identify students' academic ...

In emergency department we always work together as a friends and team works, with nurses, student, doctors and also manager. Windsor (1987) agrees that students must have a good relationship with learner and patient for their clinical experience.

Students are required to do research on what recycled resources they need in order to build this garden bed (needs to include the wood for the fence – must be recycled, props to keep the birds away etc. A form of assessment for this project is reports given back by a different student in the group to the whole class of how their team is progressing and what steps they are taking to make this project sustainable and environmentally friendly. Students are also to make journal entries after each lesson and reflect on their learning and how their project is proceeding. I have decided this project will be suitable for your class because by reading the student's profiles I was able to establish that students enjoy working in groups and care deeply about the environment and enjoy doing different activities based on the environment and sustainable living. Throughout this project will learn the different types of at home resources they can use in order to build an environmentally friendly environment, students will gain knowledge about how to protect their fruit and vegetables, what types of problems they can face during this process and how important communication is with their peers in order for this project to come alive.

Such rapid development has enabled the development of many other modern methods and approaches, such as virtual learning environment (VLE), i.e. learning via the Internet []. A virtual learning environment allows learners and all others engaged in education and teaching to free themselves from the limitations of time and space, and carry out learning interactions in a flexible timeframe and virtual sites that are not physically tied to one another.

The virtual campus relates just to the University courses, while the virtual learning environment relates to many other sectors.

  • 9. Literature Review : Learning Environments Literature Review Learning environments are important spaces because these are where students spend most hours trying to finish tasks. It is said that almost 20,000 hours students spend by the completion of university (Fraser 2015). University spaces and home learning spaces are separate areas for learning (Grant 2011), students tend create a relationship between both and make their own "Personal Learning Agendas". Learning spaces can vary from single cells to modern day learning studios, the designs of these studios effect the learning outcomes of students (Alsaif 2014). "Learning environment" refers to a place or space, school, library: social, physical, psychological ad pedagogical context in which learning takes place and inversely affects student outcomes (Afari 2013). Furthermore, in reality 21st century learning takes place in physical environment like these, it envisions a place where students are involved in self–directed and co–operative learning activities (Lippman 2010).

  • 11. Architecture Classes : Blended Learning Environments Both Architecture classes were blended learning environments, one of which combined classroom and online learning (Bender & Vredevoogd, 2006). The conjecture was that blended learning enhanced studio courses by allowing all course material to be viewed by all and by having critiques accessible to all students. Although the supposition was that the students would be able to garner understanding from comments made to others in their class and that the electronic collaboration would allow for greater flexibility in reviewing, submitting and refining data, not all students were able to discern and apply comments and suggestions about their work not made directly to them. Instructors also faced increased workloads and there was diminished student–teacher interaction, as class sizes grew larger due to the online format. Still it was believed to greatly enhance the traditional face–to–face studio course (Bender & Vredevoogd, 2006). The final architecture study looked at student satisfaction when comparing computer done artwork with hand renderings (И enyapili & Basa, 2006). In that instance, even though the students said they would use the computer to keep up with current market trends, they preferred the look and emotional appeal of the hand–produced renderings.

The administrators of the Malaysian School System emphasized the importance of each learner being able to use the computer in a very practical way. The study purported a quantitative study of students from ten selected schools within ten different states to measure the students' degree of computer literacy. The Malaysian School System administrators wanted to increase English fluency as a primary objective of the study. The findings from the study showed the statistics of the stakeholders who were participating and the growth of their participation. It is significant to note that this study was one of a few research studies that had been conducted concerning the Malaysian School System. There were seven high schools and three primary schools participating in this quantitative study. Out of a total of 608 students, 304 were chosen to participate in the Constructivism Learning Environment Questionnaire (CLEQ) survey (Woods, & Koo, 2011).

The unspoken common goal, seemingly, was to be the exact same as all the other students with regard to clothes, boots, and even designer lunch boxes.

Identify a range of behaviours that you have encountered when delivering learning in different learning situations. Provide an analysis of the impact of those behaviours on others and yourself, with particular reference to the impact of learning. Making reference to relevant reading, review factors which may influence the behaviours that you have identified.

Provide a review of ways of promoting behaviour that is appropriate to learning, as well as to ways of managing disruptive behaviour. Include a reflection on the ways in which you have managed behaviours. Based on your strengths and development needs, outline ways in which you can improve your approach to managing behaviours. Your review should make clear reference to relevant reading.

Creating an inclusive learning environment is an extremely important aspect of modern education, which, according to Gravells (2008: p18), ensures that "[...] all learners are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone is an individual, with different experiences, abilities and needs." She also offers a brief explanation of inclusivity (2008: p18), which is "[...] involving all learners in relevant activities rather than excluding them for any reason directly or indirectly." Inclusion has also been defined by John Tomlinson (1996: p26) as "the greatest degree of match or fit between individual learning requirements and provision". In the other words, inclusive learning environment nurtures individual potential of all learners,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The main objective of differentiation is to promote inclusive learning environment, by identifying and addressing the individual needs of all learners and working towards removing any barriers they may have. The most effective method of differentiating is to ensure that resources and assessment methods, as well as teaching and learning approaches meet individual learner needs. According to Francis and Gould (2013) setting a single objective for a whole group will not be appropriate for all learners, due to the diversity of the group, therefore, as Gravells (2008) suggests we must identify the learning needs, styles, aspirations and potential of our learners. At this very stage, any barriers and boundaries should be identified, so the teaching and learning approaches, assessment methods and resources can be planned accordingly. When setting up an inclusive learning environment we need to focus on individual differences. Francis and Gould (2013: p65) explain, that "it is important to recognise the differences in the learners we teach, as these influence how we interact with them." Francis and Gould (2013) list few typical differences, like age, physical disability, mental health issues, ethnicity, etc. Our first step to identify the individual learning style of the learners' (ergo to identify their needs), is performing 'VAK' (visual, aural, kinaesthetic) assessment.

  • 21. How Diverse Learning Environment Shape University Students... A learning environment is described as the totality of factors such as the different physical locations, cultures and contexts that students learn. The term 'environment' is used interchangeably but not to describe the physical locations which can be out of class or classroom settings as well as outdoor activities. When talking of the learning environment, of high interest is the diversion from the conventional connotations of a room with desks and a chalkboard. This definition is cognisant that students can learn in various ways and in different contexts because with learning, the aim is creating an environment that brings optimum learning capacity. However, there is no single learning environment that can be described as optimum but there are factors that contribute to such environments. Among these factors are diversity which requires appreciation of other cultural, social, ethnic, religious and other backgrounds by both the institution and students. In order to full appreciate diversity, it is important to break all forms of stereotypes that are the source of imbalances. This paper looks at how diverse learning environment shape university students learning experience.

One of the most important factors is for students to have a positive relationship with their teacher, as well as feeling safe and supported in the classroom, and comfortable enough to take learning risks. Once this classroom environment has been established, using evidence–based effective teaching strategies enhances student learning. Effective teaching strategies include having clear lesson objectives, explicitly teaching skills and strategies, praising specific student achievements and providing specific timely feedback explaining how students can achieve objectives from their current ...

I selected students to demonstrate the steps in solving the equation using MABs while I demonstrated writing the equation and working out on the whiteboard. I explained each step along the way, ensuring students understood that when borrowing the value of the number remains the same, when and why we borrow and how it works. Most students were confident at this stage and went to work on some problems. For students who were still unsure, as a smaller group we worked on equations together, with students writing on mini whiteboards and using MABs. These students were then confident to work on the equations. This allowed me to check what other students had been doing, ask questions to ensure understanding and to encourage students to find errors they may have made, praise the work of students, and provide feedback to students to best assist them in correctly solving the equations. Students concluded by reflecting on what they had learnt and strategies they had ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 23. Applying A Collaborative Learning Environment Have you ever pondered the question – What is education? This simple, yet complex, question can be answered differently as everyone 's perception of how education impacts his life is unique. When I meet someone, I used to ask what he did for a living as it reflected his education background which allowed me to determine how educated he is. The reality is that the name of a distinguished university attended or the title of a high salary earning career gives us an idea of the level of scholarship. As today 's system of education will continually undergo progressive refinement, I believe that it is crucial to dissect the significance of education and provide students with principles to apply to their everyday learning experience and not just a label on their diploma. At the prestigious TC I dream to fervently study to spark the working minds of aspiring scholars to explore the authentic meaning and function of education. In addition, I hope to create a collaborative learning environment in schools filled with curiosity and inquiry in which all participants are both teachers and learners. Looking for wisdom, I have asked my colleagues about what education meant to them and the majority interpreted it as a transmission of knowledge from a teacher to a student.

That is, a child's learning is enhanced in an environment where there is an equal balance between child and adult initiated activities. The role of the practitioner is to create this balance while planning for the activities to incorporate the statutory framework. A key way in which a practitioner can plan for a child's activities is through making observations.

"Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self–assured" (Department for Education, 2014) This quote tells us that practitioners need to plan for every child to ensure that they develop and learn, so that all children who are entering key stage one are at the same level be that knowledge or development. The practitioner should use the Early Years Statutory Framework (EYFS) to ensure every child is ready to enter schooling. The EYFS was put in place in 2008 and was made mandatory in 2012 (Hobart and Frankel, 2009) this means that all children should be working to the same outcome in all early years settings, hence by the end of the foundation stage every child should have gained valuable experience and knowledge, which will prepare them for school as well as later life. As every child is unique, and develop in different ways and rates (Department for Education, 2014), the practitioner has to plan for every need of every child, as well as covering the EYFS. Returning back to the idea of observations, they are vital for a practitioners planning as they show a child's interests, difficulties and needs.

The role of the instructor and student both change depending on the learning style chosen. Some are better for some students, and others are best due to time restrictions or the material being taught. There is not one strategy that will work for every class, each should be selected specifically for the environment and to fit the student's needs. Similarities The three different learning environments studied have a few similarities. Each type has some form of classroom, an instructor imparting the subject material to the learner, subject material, and expectation of the student will successfully learn the material. Roles and Responsibilities The roles and responsibilities of the teacher in each environment change depending on the environment.

Personal Learning is the tailoring of curriculum and learning environments by learners or for learners in order to meet their different learning needs and aspirations. Before I go into the details of why I chose this topic, it is important to know what Personal Learning Environments, a current form of Personal Learning, actually are. A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) are systems that help learners take control of and manage their own learning(Wikipedia). These systems are centered on the user, and are tailored to each individual to allow them to set their own learning goals, manage the process of taking in content, and to help them learn to communicate with others. Since these PLEs are user–specific, it is significantly harder to carry out on a large scale, but after they are able to be implemented, it is a lot easier to coordinate and manage from a supervisor or teacher perspective. There are already examples of more broad forms of PLEs, such as iGoogle, Edline, and Moodle. These examples are more general and will work for most people because what each person does with the access to material and content is up to them.

Personal Learning Environments give students ownership of their learning experience encouraging them to embrace educational goals, opportunities and activities. Students are as different as the diverse ways in which they learn. The traditional ways of learning where the class is teacher directed is steadily changing to a more students centered environment where students can flourish. Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) are systems that are devised to encourage learners to take control of and manage their own learning. A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) describes the tools, communities, and services that constitute the individual educational platforms learners use to direct their own learning and pursue educational goals. Differentiation is a way of teaching; it's not a program or package of worksheets. It asks teachers to know their students well so they can provide each one with experiences and tasks that will improve learning. A PLE is frequently contrasted with a learning management system in that an LMS tends to be centralized on the coursework, whereas a PLE is centralized on the learner. At the same time, a PLE may or may not intersect with an institutional LMS, and individuals might integrate components of an LMS into the educational environments that they construct for themselves.

Among the individual variables that can impact the learning environment include personality traits (especially extraversion) and communication styles.
