Observation task 3: Mapping Environments: the learning environment
Reflection:
Think about:
The idea of learners being active learners. Discuss how the classroom organisation
facilitates activities for the learners. Give examples of activities you observed and the
way in which the classroom organization makes these activities accessible. Consider
ease of movement within the learning environment.
How and where are materials stored in the classroom? Do the children/learners need
to be able to get and put materials away?
Where does the teacher have her table/papers/materials?
Are there areas that encourage independent learning? Give some examples. Why are
these areas important?
1- If the class is organized in a way children easy to move and remember the places
it properly is considered as a place for learning to learn and make more activities.
For example, if the teacher said its story time they go to the area for a story
they can select the story and the teacher tell the store another example if the
teacher wants them to learn a new song there is a free are with TV connected to
the computer they can sing and dance.
2- The material for learning like color, pencil, Lego, pieces, glue, secure, rubber are
store in the closet which is at the level of children. scissors and sharpener store in
safe places so children cant reach.
3- The teacher does not have a table because she does not sit while she teaches the
children the teacher store the paper and material in the locker.
4-Yes, there is the area that encourages independent learning. For example, playing
is considered as independent are because children can learn the animal name, color,
and shape by playing.
Theory
Piaget's said: has had a major impact on the theory and practice of education. It has helped
to create a view where the focus of attention is on the idea of developmentally appropriate
education. This refers to an educational with environments, curriculum, materials and
instruction that are consistency with student's physical and cognitive abilities as well as their
social and emotional needs.
