PREPARING THE
LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT: AN
OVERVIEW
 PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST

What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning

environment in the following conditions?

1. Bulletin Board Display

By assisting my mentor in determining whatever topic he or she wants to include in the
bulletin board design. In addition, I will apply some of my skills in making and showing various
designs that will be appealing to students, as it is critical to include items that students desire
to see. I may also help my instructor collect academic material for the bulletin board. Perhaps
I'll include samples of student work linked to the topic, as well as other material that kids will
find appealing, such as photographs, graphs, or maps. I'll do everything I can to create an
interactive bulletin board since students who engage with it are more likely to read the
contents and learn about the subject.

2. Small Group Discussion

As one of the potential teaching assistants, I may provide feedback to students who are
seeking answers to questions by posting comments and questions in the conversations box
based on the talks that have taken place. I will also advise having a breakout area so that I
can assist students who have questions or are having problems comprehending the
conversation, but this is entirely dependent on my mentor. During the talk, I will also record
and gather some comments from students to aid my counselor in tracking class involvement
and ensuring the effectiveness of each session.

3. Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e Google meet or zoom)

Before I enter the virtual classroom under the direction of my teacher, I'll double-check
that I have the names of everyone in the class, since this will be my guide in calling them one
by one. While I was still reviewing the class attendance of certain pupils, I gave my instructor
time to prepare her lecture for that day. I'll also keep track of their attendance in class. I'll
keep track of their attendance and provide it over to my teacher if he requests it. It will also
take the lead in recording our virtual meeting, as well as the names and images of the
students that stayed for the entire virtual session.
 NOTICE

Learning Environment 1:

 What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message or
theme does it convey?

I've noted that the bulletin board display includes a calendar of events, announcements,
liquidations reports, timetable, school calendar, educational management information system
items such as division memos, student’s profiles, and school forms, to name a few. Its material
covers the meaning and significance of several announcements made in the student's profile as
well. They're utilized to make the display boards seem better and transmit the messages on
them to the audience. Based on my observations, I didn't see any issues with the display boards.
One possibility is that the boards are rigorously inspected by the manufacturers. If there are any
errors, the audience may not notice them. Due to fewer or no mistakes, messages were evident
and easy to grasp for students and teachers, as well as any spectators of the display boards.

 What makes it attractive to the learners?

The colors and combinations attract and retain interest in a subtle way. The area of each
bond paper was restricted, and they were not piled close to one another. On the other hand, the
things are well-placed. Because the bulletin boards have only one border, it is pleasing to the
sight. The style and approach attract learners to interact and engage. If each paper is perfectly
positioned, it will not fall due to perfect adhesion.

 Does it help in the learning process? How?

Yes. Because the bulletin board may be utilized to communicate information, reinforce
lessons, and motivate students. Bulletin board displays that change on a regular basis to reflect
new learning assist visual learners. They can help students better understand new material,
reinforce new terminology and concepts, and encourage them to interact in new ways.
Classroom display boards are an excellent way to engage, intrigue, and collaborate with our
students, allowing them to learn more and develop their own abilities.
Learning Environment 2:

 If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules

where is most likely the learning space of the students?

The pupils' learning place was in their separate homes.

 Can you describe?

There is no face-to-face interaction between the learner and the teacher in distance
learning. The instructor prepares all of the learning modules for the week and
distributes them to the kids' guardians or parents. The professors normally provide the
module on Mondays, and the students' completed responses are exchanged for newly
prepared work for the following week. Because they are the ones who are frequently
with the pupils, the parent has a significant role to play in leading the children in
answering the module.

 How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for
learning?

As a prospective teacher, I can assist in making the home learning environment

more favorable for children by working with their parents and sharing my ideas.
Selecting a location in the house that is least distracting and calm can help the
youngster concentrate. I'll constantly tell them that each child is unique, and as
parents, they must learn how to communicate with them. Giving them their time, love,
and attention as often as possible will go a long way toward presenting them with a
healthy, productive, pleasant, and loving home learning environment.
 ANALYZE

The examples above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the
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 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?

As a flexible teacher, I feel I must be prepared for both of the aforementioned

learning circumstances, but if I had to pick between the two, I would choose to
supervise a class in the learning environment. I'd want to assemble them in the
same area or location so that they can devote their whole attention and focus to the
subject, as opposed to a temporary learning environment. Because students meet
their classmates one-on-one, there is more opportunity for interaction and
cooperation inside the classroom. Noise, sitting, and even the color may have an
impact on learning abilities outside of the classroom. Students with a greater overall
learning ability who study in a favorable learning environment are more motivated
and engaged. Students learning in an unsuitable atmosphere, where they are
uncomfortable and distracted, will find it more difficult to retain knowledge and
remain interested.
 REFLECT

Base on my noticing and analysis, I realized that

a. A bulletin board is an effective classroom learning tool since it may be

used as an educational resource to transfer knowledge and motivate
pupils.

b. A positive learning environment is critical to kids' ability to learn and

assimilate new knowledge. The level of comfort, the illumination, and
the condition of the setting can all have an impact on their capacity to
learn. To assist teachers in creating an optimal study setting, they must
keep these crucial criteria in mind.

c. When using a remote learning method, teachers must build solid

working relationships with students' guardians or parents, as they are
the ones who are responsible for supporting students in comprehending
and responding their modules at home.
 WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

OBSERVE

 What probable problem may result from the two situations of the
learning environment?

The first step in a learning environment is to balance learning demands. In

every school, the types of pupils in a classroom will vary, and they will have varied
learning requirements. It will be a big problem for a teacher to satisfy all of them in
the same way when addressing a certain curriculum. The third issue is a lack of
parental participation, which is critical for student achievement, especially in
distance learning situations. Parental advice and cooperation with teachers are vital
for student success. The instructor, on the other hand, has a hard time enlisting
the aid of parents since many parents lack the skills and stability needed to help
their children flourish.

REFLECT

 What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?

Varied learners' demands are balanced because I will get to know my

students, establish regular communication with them, recognize and appreciate
their diverse origins, exercise cultural sensitivity, and include diversity into my
lesson plan. To address the issue of parental engagement, I propose that parents
or guardians be treated as partners in helping children learn. In addition, I will give
chances for involvement, increase communication, and invite families into the
school, allowing my kids' parents to progress from involvement to engagement.
PLAN

 How should I do it?

By getting to know each of my kids, I will guarantee that cultural awareness is

encouraged in the classroom. I'll take the time to learn about my students' ethnic
backgrounds and distinguishing characteristics based on their learning styles. I should
continue to communicate with my students throughout the semester or school year, in
addition to getting to know them. I'll also take the time to get to know each student's
cultural quirks, which range from learning methods to the language they speak. For
example, give appropriate and relevant resources to Filipino language learners to
assist them enhance their comprehension abilities in Filipino. I will guarantee that
diversity is reflected in my actual lesson by using a lesson plan. I will always strive to
represent and link all of the lessons via some concerns and into the real world by
utilizing a lesson plan. I will devise and implement a plan to maintain acceptance of
one another for the accomplishment of each assignment as well as the success of each
kid, both inside and outside of school, as well as at any activities organized at the
school for parents who do not feel they belong in the school's need.
 WORK ON MY ARTIFACTS

In not less than 300 words, write an essay on the topic: “My Conducive
Learning Environment”

MY CONDUCIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

A conducive environment has a positive effect on a student because it can

determine how and what the person is learning. Conducive environment is defined as
favorable surroundings or conditions. One would make the environment conducive to
learning starting within. Students should be and are motivated internally as well as
externally. Built in instructions, found within our genetics drive the behavior of the
student. Meaning the student should have an excellent base to build their education on.
The student especially an online learner, must learn to control the environment which
they have chosen to complete class work, homework and study/ reading time. The
student must also develop the ability to absorb or ignore the surroundings available to
him/ her.

Students in most cases nee a well-lit, natural lighting is best, and ventilated area
that is air conditioned or heated maintaining a certain temperature for comfort. A
student will need the typical supplies to complete the required coursework. These
supplies and/or environment one iis utilizing to study, complete class work and
homework is just as vital. Students have numerous necessities on a personal and
student level. The environment a student decides to use for his/her educational
purposes vary from one person to the next. Every student has a special area that is
conducive to the person’s education. The student should have a means of self-control

ENHANCING A
FACE-TO-FACE
LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT
PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST

Given the concepts and the infographics, how can you participate and assist in
a face-to-face learning environment?

 As a student of this new curriculum, I believe I will be able to apply a number of

teaching tactics that will benefit and aid students in a face-to-face learning setting. I
believe that I can use technology to encourage my students to be more engaged in
class and encourage them to reflect on and explore their learning.

NOTICE

 Having been exposed to the traditional classrooms in your basic education, it seems
that everything is familiar. However, as teaching-learning theories evolve over time
there are changes that are taking place.

What changes you noticed in the face-to-face classroom spaces?

 ANALYZE

What do you think brought the changes in the face-to-face learning environment now?

 I believe that the changes in the face-to-face learning environment are due to the fact
that we are now introducing technology into the classroom, which creates effective
learning situations. It has an impact on the seating and table arrangements, as well as
the necessity to book certain areas.

From the changes that you identified, choose one that you can do. How will you do it?

 With the help of available technologies, I believe that I can change the classroom set
up more creatively. I think that I should focus on the things that eliminates distractions
from the classroom that can help for the development and improvement of the students.

REFLECT

Do you think making the learning environment conducive for a face-to-face classroom
will enable the learners to achieve better learning outcomes? ______ Explain you answer.

 Definitely yes, because I believe that a conducive classroom lessens the distractions
inside the classrooms. The learning will continuously absorb by the students and they
will learn how to reflect and explore in the learning they got.
 WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

What common problem have I noticed in a face-to-face learning

environment?

 The common problem that I noticed in a face-to-face learning is that

distractions are everywhere. It is one of the big problems in the classroom.
Students can’t focus on their learning because they got distracted easily by
everything surrounds them.

are doing inside the classroom. It can help also if you quite time and place to
complete the course work of my students.
 WORK ON MY ARTIFACTS

Visit a school, where the learning environment is face-to-face. Prepare a detailed

report describing the face-to-face learning environment in terms of the three
components:

Physical Environment

 Is the space inside the room more than enough for learners to move about?
 Does the room arrangement match with teaching-learning principles? Are there
several room arrangements in the school?
 Are the visual displays attractive and do they stimulate learning?
 Are the school premises safe and is the classroom space free from hazards? Are
learners comfortable in terms of light and ventilation?

Psychological Environment.

 Are there sets of rules and procedures followed? What are these?
 Are there sets of expectations that can motivate the learners to learn?
 Are these observable in the classroom?
-Classroom atmosphere based on trust, cooperation and empathy
-Modeling of positive attitude, respectful behavior, constructive actions
-Avoidance of ridicule, sarcasm, superiority in the classroom
-Opportunities for learners to share their experiences and learning with each other

Social Environment

 Are there opportunities for positive interaction inside the classroom?

 Are there outdoor activities that foster friendship, camaraderie and cooperation?
 How are individual needs and differences considered?
 PORTFOLIO ENTRY

Title: The Face-to Face Learning Environment

Describe the physical environment:

 The physical environment of the school reflects the importance of safe, clean,
and comfortable surroundings in creating a positive school climate in which
students can learn. It assesses the level of maintenance, ambient noise,
lightning, indoor air quality, and/or thermal comfort of the school’s physical
structure, as well as its location within the community.

Describe the psychological environment:

 Teachers communicate within the psychological environment through their

attitudes, feelings of excitement, values, and principles. Most students enter the
educational process expecting to be encouraged and assisted in their learning. The
psychological environment in the classroom sets the stage for the expression of
ideas, opinions, and attitudes, the asking of questions, and the investigation of
concerns. Essentially, the quality of relationships among students as well as
between students, teachers, other school personnel, and school leadership.

Describe the social environment:

 Positive social environments promote acceptance, kindness, forgiveness and

opportunities to make mistakes without consequences. These gentle learning
environments can be incredibly important for diverse students.
 Leaning Episode 7

MAKING ON-LINE OR
VIRTUAL LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT SAFE
AND CONDUCIVE
 NOTICE

Unlike the traditional face-to-face classroom environment, online or virtual

environment is a bit difficult to manage. It is because Virtual Learning Environment
(VLE) is imaginary and not in the physical sense. It has no corners or walls and it
can be set up with the support of technology.

 As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your

virtual class?
Teachers should plan to help students understand technology and learn how
to use it in the first few days of class. Practical exercises are a great way for
students to experiment with technology and make sure they understand what to do,
ask questions, and get help before the project starts. This learning curve time and
hands-on practice will help students and those who teach them to prepare and solve
any problems in the system.

 How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
There are pupils who always raise their hand to participate and those who
are cautious to do so in every classroom. It can be difficult to engage kids into talks
who are reluctant to lend their voices, whether they are introverted, consider for a
long time before contributing, or are simply having a terrible day. Many teachers
have told us that encouraging students to participate has become more difficult
during remote learning. Digital platforms can exacerbate communication hurdles by
making it difficult to determine when to speak, for example, or to understand small
but crucial aspects of discourse such as a person’s body language and facial
expressions. Furthermore, due to a lack of consistency in students’ access to
technology and privacy issues, many teachers have had to rely on students
delivering work via isolated channels such as email, which can result in back-and-
forth between classmates.
.
 ANALYZE

Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of on-line learning

environment?

Check one or more.

____/___It was difficult to observe the physical behavior of the students.

____/___It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform.

________Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.

____/___Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a conductive environment.

REFLECT

• As a future teacher I feel that the online learning environment can be

safe if there is no abuse, no judgment and other bad things that may hurt certain
feelings, the online learning environment is safe. It is part of showing the care you
love and sharing your cleverness with children.

• I think that teaching in a virtual learning environment is to extend the

educational experience. It will not try to copy them. In a virtual learning
environment, students access resources and interact in ways that they would not
or could not in a physical classroom. It is important to emphasize that these virtual
learning links are designed to showcase different ways of learning, not to provide a
new way of learning online as well.
 WRITE ACTION RESEARCH PROMPTS

OBSERVE

Identify the problems brought about by the on-line learning

environment

 Distraction everywhere
 Staying motivated
 Technical Issues
 Some students being left behind

REFLECT

How would you solve this problem?

The most essential factor is to maintain contact with instructors and keep
them updated on what is going on. They should be aware of the circumstance and
adapt accordingly, even recording class sessions on your computer using learning
platforms as a backup.

PLAN

What initial plan you intend to do to solve the problem?

Create schedules and always try to be ready in times when the teachers
announce that you will having online classes. As for the teachers, they should try
to be more accessible to contact and free to answers all the student’s questions
and try to ask them if they are still following the lessons.

CLARIFY YOUR TASKS

Establishing My Own Classroom Routines and Procedures

(Face-to-Face or Remote Learning)
Routines are the backbone of daily classroom life. They facilitate teaching and
learning. Routines don't just make the life of the teacher easier. They save valuable
classroom time. Efficient routines make it easier for students to learn and achieve more.
Establishing routines early in the school year enables you to run your daily
activities run smoothly; ensures that you manage time effectively; helps you maintain order
in the classroom; makes you more focused in teaching because you spend less time in giving
directions/instructions; and enables you to explain to the learners what are expected of them.
Classroom routines set the foundation for a meaningful school year with teachers and
students whether in the classroom or remotely. To teach classroom routines remotely, it is best to
record videos and to post these in the learning management system so students may watch them
over and over again for better retention and for families to view them so they can assist their
children when needed.

Students can take an active role in establishing classroom routines. They can brainstorm
ideas which they will most likely do and follow. Routines are important especially when done in
remote learning so that there will be fewer distractions both for synchronous and asynchronous
participation.

Target Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Learning Episode. I must be able to:

 explain the importance of my classroom management plan

 enumerate the components of my classroom management plan
 write my classroom management plan
 use professional reflections and learning to improve practice

CLARIFY YOUR TASKS

Creating My Classroom / Remote Learning Management Plan

 A classroom management plan is a plan that a teacher designs that sets the expectations
for every student. The purpose of a classroom management plan is to make the students
accountable for their actions. Effective classroom management increases students’ success,
enhances students’ academic skills and competencies and promotes social and emotional
development.
 The teaching-learning process may be implemented in various modalities. Teachers must
bear in mind that alternatives and other options may be considered in designing the
classroom / remote management plan.
 A good learning environment procedures highly engaged students who learn more, do more
an work more. Teacher likewise become more creative and productive in their work.
Key Elements of Effective Classroom Management:

1. Classroom Design: This refers to seating arrangement, bulletin boards, display, storage
area, equipment, supplies tec.
2. Rules: These are the expectations set at the beginning of the class to foster love, care,
respect and sense of community in the class.
3. Discipline: Classroom rules must define the consequences of every action/misdemeanor in
class. This will ensure fairness and consistency in dealing with the students. This also
includes the rewards given for good behavior.
 In order to implement these elements effectively, a classroom management plan must be
designed. Each teacher has its own unique style of management to meet class needs, although the
same elements are found consistently. In order for a classroom management plan to be successful,
the students must have a complete understanding of each of the guidelines. At the same time,
teachers must follow their plan to ensure that the learning environment is safe, friendly, secured and
non-threatening whether in the classroom or in remote learning.

 WRITE ON YOUR ARTIFATCS

I believe Classroom Management is the key component in any educational setting. I believe
that if students are in a safe environment, then learning can take place. This doesn’t necessarily
mean punishing behavior problems but rather a combination of setting the tone in a class,
preventing behavior problems with interesting and engaging curriculums and effectively including
all students in the classroom so that their needs are met. Having the right environment for all
students to learn is my major goal of implementing good classroom management--without it the
students would not be able to learn.

Philosophical Statement

I am committed to making my classroom a safe and challenging environment and engaging

my students through the curriculum as well as getting to know them and interacting with them
one-on-one. I believe that meeting the needs of my students is a very crucial part of my
classroom. I want them to be comfortable with the other students, as well as me, so that there can
be meaningful discussions and interactions. Talking will be common place in my classroom, along
with group work. I want to encourage all students to participate in class so that they can learn
from each other as well as me. I want to have a democratic and equitable classroom so that
students can learn. I want to be a fair as I can be, so the students trust me.

I feel that I have a very patient and calm attitude with my class. I ask students about their
life outside of class and feel that they respond in class even more, knowing that someone is paying
attention to them. I want them to feel comfortable asking questions of me. I think my attitude
towards the students is not overbearing or authoritative. I do not believe in forcing the students to
do anything. I want to work with them in all circumstances so that we can achieve together and
they don’t feel like I am spoon-feeding them information. I want students to be a part of their
learning. I want to motivate students to learn and keep their interest by using engaging
curriculum. I want to involve students in rules about the classroom as well as what curriculum they
would like to study. I believe if students feel they are involved in the workings of the classroom,
they will be more motivated to engage in the class and in turn, learn.
Room Arrangement

Walking through the door, students are hit with vibrant colors on the walls, natural
lighting from the windows and an inviting sensation as they glide along the carpeting. They
feel safe and welcome wandering to their seats in a big circle of tables. They can see their
classmates as they face each other and glance from wall to wall looking at maps, art,
famous people, different cultures and student work all depicted in colorful posters around
the room. There is not a drop of white paint to be seen. The carpet on the floor is
comforting to the student and yields a form of tranquility amidst the invigorating walls. As I
start the lesson from my desk, which is also included in the circle, the students get out their
journals and colorful pens to record today’s lesson and their personal thoughts, questions or
even art. I believe the set up of a classroom has a big effect on student learning and I hope
that my classroom will be an environment that will engage my students in critical thinking,
discussions and reflection.

Classroom Rules

The best rule that I have heard and I would believe to be my attitude towards
classroom rules is that I need a classroom where learning takes place, and if we can respect
each other then we don’t need any other "rules." I absolutely believe in keeping a safe
environment where put-downs and name calling is not allowed–this also falls under respect.
If I can have respect for my students as well as having them respecting each other, I
believe this leads to a safe environment where learning can take place. I am not a stickler
for gum chewing or eating and drinking as long as it does not interfere with learning and
doesn’t make a mess. I would like to give my kids the freedom to eat or drink as long as
they are responsible for their trash and mess. If it gets out of control, I will let them know
that the privilege will be taken away, right from the beginning. I also do not mind if students
wear hats in class. To me this is an ancient rule and as long as the hat does not interfere
with learning, then I will let them wear them.
Classroom Procedures

I want to be consistent with my students in terms of Classroom Procedures. I always want to

have the agenda on the board so they can copy it down in their notebook everyday as they
walk in. On some days I hope to have a free-writing assignment so I can take role and they
can be engaged and working on their writing. I will use interactive notebooks so students can
do all homework assignments in the notebook as well as take class notes in the notebook
and staple in any handouts. The purpose of this notebook is to keep all class materials in one
place so when they go to study for a test, they are not looking all over for loose papers. In
these notebooks, students can show their creativity in designing a cover page for each unit
as well as doing free-writes or reflections to the lessons and central questions right in the
notebook. I will go around the room and stamp the homework each day it is due and will
collect the notebooks every two or three weeks to grade. Even if the student did not get the
homework done, they may lose a point because they did not have a stamp, but still has time
to get the assignment done by collection time. By stamping the homework and not grading it,
it adds consistency to the classroom but does not lead to negative feelings every day of
having the homework graded.

Encouraging All Students

Bill Rogers, affectionately know as Mr. Rogers, has many effective techniques and
approaches to classroom management, from prevention and positive correction to
consequences. Mr. Rogers, I believe, takes a very logical and humane approach to dealing
with students. He does not advocate being a strict, disciplinarian, authoritarian teacher, but
gives strategies to help teachers work with students to control their own behavior.
Positive Reinforcement

Instead of focusing solely on the misbehavior in the classroom, I want to focus on the good
behavior and attitudes in my classroom. I will have the students fill out postcards at the beginning
of the year with their address on them. I will use these postcards throughout the year to send
positive feedback to the parents at home every week. I will focus on sending a few postcards home
each week. I want to acknowledge and encourage good behavior and academic success in my
classroom. I think that letting parents know at home is another way to involve parents in the
classroom as well as reinforce good behavior and learning by the students. I will make sure that
positive post cards home will be given out for all students no matter how big or how small the
accomplishment. I will also make some positive phone calls home as these have worked well for
me this year. I think parents really appreciate positive phone calls home and it also sets up a
dialogue between parents and teachers.

Conclusion

As I stated earlier, I believe Classroom Management is the key to an environment where learning
can take place and students can feel safe participating. I hope to create an environment that is
conducive to learning and involves all my students. I believe the most important part of classroom
management is not the behavior problems but creating a good rapport with the students,
encouraging them to succeed and setting high expectations for them. As well as using an engaging
a curriculum, I believe you can create this environment and it will limit the behavior problems in
your classroom from the start.
