In your opinion, what are the benefits/limitations in using a learner-centred approach? Share your reflection.
Children grow and learn best when their learning environment is full of curiosity and encouragement. As a teacher, my sole duty is to frame or set up my classroom in such a way that it gives a large scope for learning. Pictures, story books, magazines, etc will be provided for increasing literary talents. Abacus, mathematical textbooks, number blocks, puzzles, etc will be provided for fun learning of arithmetic. Simple science experiment setups will be done for inducing curiosity for scientific phenomena. Atlas, world maps, terrain maps, etc will be provided for making children curious about geography. Similarly, in other areas, I will try to make their learning fun simultaneously making them increase their abilities. This will provide holistic development in learning.
ReplyDeleteThere are many ingredients and strategies that go into making a positive and thriving learning environment for children. For their safe and secure future, it’s imperative to create a learning environment that is conducive for their physical as well as mental growth. Here are a few measures that can be taken up.
ReplyDelete1.Create Good Relationships: Building positive relationships with students is the base of creating a positive learning environment for them. The teachers need to involve kids in activities and icebreaking sessions where the teachers and students get to know each other. Creating a relationship takes time, and thus, one needs to be patient and considerate for long-lasting relationships.
2.Fruitful Communication: For building a relationship with kids or giving them a positive environment, it’s important to understand their thoughts and language. A teacher needs to use humor, tech, and other strategies to get to their level. A teacher may know the rules backward and forwards, but the students are new to the teaching style and expectations. Thus, a teacher needs to be patient and have conversations with the kids to understand their side of the story.
3.Build Trust: Showing and demanding trust in a relationship builds a great environment for students to learn and attain knowledge. Encouraging and praising them for the decisions they make or the efforts they are putting in the classrooms will build trust between a student, and a teacher, and a school plays a very important role in that.
4.Address Student’s Needs: Students, apart from physical requirements, have psychological needs as well. They require security, order, love, belongingness, fun, freedom, etc. When the teacher addresses these needs, students are happier and more engaged. And this way, learning increases.
5.Create a Sense of Order: Students need structure and are disciplined in a classroom code of conduct. The teachers need to teach students how to:
Enter the classroom and become immediately engaged in a learning activity
Distribute and collect materials
Find out about missed assignments due to absence and how to make them up
Get the teacher’s attention without disrupting the class
Follow instructions
A positive learning environment is one of the most critical components of a skills-based health education classroom. A positive learning environment is created when you value participatory teaching and learning and when there is trust and rapport among students and between yourself and students. To establish trust that leads to true participation and engagement in learning, you first need to set the stage by establishing a learning environment in which all students feel valued, safe, and supported.
ReplyDeleteCreating a positive learning environment begins with the teacher's self-reflection, continues with planning, and then is ongoing and dynamic during the implementation of the curriculum. Maintaining a positive learning environment is a work in progress - you must always consider how to maintain a positive learning environment and must be thoughtful about how the learning environment is perceived by students.
As with curriculum development, a positive learning environment takes planning and thought. It is important to continually monitor and adapt your strategies to meet the changing needs of your students. No two students are the same and no two classes are the same. You need to be aware of the differences in your classes (e.g., personalities, dynamics, interests, strengths, learning styles) and adjust your strategies to meet your students' needs. Also keep in mind that students' needs can change within a semester, term, or year. You should do the best you can to plan ahead of time, but be aware that once you get to know your students, you may need to adjust your strategies to ensure that everyone feels safe, supported, and valued.
There are many ways to create learning environment for my children. First of all I will greet them all and try to understand their health condition and mental status and to provide their needs accordingly to come to the learning environment interesting. And find out if there is any problem with them, and solve them for continuation of smooth transaction. If there is everything all right, I will try to make good rapport with them . Then I will try to draw their attention, from the prior knowledge or known to the unknown concepts with great arousement of mind. For all these well planned is necessary. For them suitable TLMs to create a positive learning environment. To support this (library, and literacy area/dramatic play/dolls area/discovery /science area, block building area ,maths,magic and movement area are the ample opportunities for interaction between child to child, child with material and child with adult will make learning interesting.

Children by nature are curious and fascinated by their surroundings. Be it at any environment, we the humans are currently where we are because our curiosity and imagination. In order to provide my children the best possible way to learn and understand their surroundings, we as parents should try to provide and expose them to surroundings that can activate their creative and imaginative abilities so that they are not stuck with the learnings that they are achieving from the school environment.

ReplyDeleteChildren learn in a playful environment. Giving them areas for play and study with age appropriate materials is necessary. They should be given time to associate with peers. Areas of interaction with parents, elders and friends should be arranged from time to time. Arrangement must be made for exposure to places where children develop creativity.
ReplyDeleteChildren are curious and need to be encouraged all the time. So, they learn best in an environment providing such growth, i.e., learning with curiosity and enhancing their self-found-out talents.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, I feel my priority must be to set up the classroom in such a way that the children should fully gain from such spacious learning environment.
For literary knowledge, pictures, story books and magazines must be provided. Mathematical tools like abacus, textbooks, number blocks and puzzles; scientific equipment to pursue scientific knowledge; tools like atlas, world maps, terrain maps and geographical magazines like National Geographic must be provided to enhance knowledge and their love for geography.
For creating a positive learning environment, build good and positive relationships with students and parents starting with the first day of school. Teachers should speak children language for clear communication, use humor, technology or other strategies to get on their level. Established a supportive learning culture. Provide feedback and safety. Address learner's need and also establish a culture to celebrate success of each child.

ReplyDeleteIts a universal fact that children learn at first pace with enthusiasm and zeal for learning provided they are given the right environment for learning at the right time and in the right place. For instance if provide pctures, story books, magazines, etc, it increases literary talents where as if we happen to provide abacus, mathematical textbooks, number blocks, puzzles, etc it wud enhances the learning of arithmetic..... So like wise we have to provided different environments for different age level and for different subjects.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher we should provide such a learning environment where it must have atleat 4 different areas related with library, music, games and visual room etc.so that children can accommodate what they have learnt is correlate through books, music or audio , games and videos. It will improve in their teaching learning process.

Children learn when they in their natural environment more than being confined in a classroom ,so we should sometime take them out for short tours such as museum, historical locations and parks etc
ReplyDeleteChildren learn best from their immediate environment through visual, auditory,kinesthetic and tactual.The environment should be full of developmentally appropriate toys, colouring materials,bright coloured
ReplyDeleteconcrete objects, abacus,story book etc In short it should provides peer interaction,adult interaction and material interaction to encourage self learning by doing.
Teacher has a great role in achieving the child's learning abilities. Children learn the best when are in a good, positive environment and when their desires are heard or fulfilled. A teacher should be act as a friend so that the children will open up about the interest, show their abilities. The teacher must encourage and give positive feedback so that they become more confident in their abilities. Learning materials, activities and compitition of various kinds should be given by the teacher so that the children learn about social skills, tolerance, love and respect etc. With the area of interest and through active collaborative interaction, a learner will gain more knowledge, have better understanding and learn better
ReplyDeleteChildren learnt best when their learning environment is cohesive.
ReplyDeleteChildren should be allowed to think freely and act according to their knowledge, understanding and earlier thoughts.
For making good learning environment for the children, they should be allowed to learn at different environment other than their classroom. If we provide hands on experience they learn better and memory last forever.
Environment include natural place for learning like taking them to a trip or some other educational venue.

ReplyDeleteChildren are naturally curious and require constant encouragement. As a result, individuals learn best in an environment that fosters growth, such as learning with curiosity and honing their self-discovered talents.
ReplyDeleteAs a teacher, I believe my first aim should be to set up the classroom in such a way that the students can benefit fully from such a large learning space.
Pictures, tale books, and magazines must be offered for literary knowledge. Scientific equipment to pursue scientific knowledge; resources such as atlases, global maps, terrain maps, and geographical periodicals such as National Geographic must be offered to develop knowledge and their love for geography.
The learning environment that is creative and welcoming provides children a lot of opportunities for hands-on experience in a joyful manner. I would create an environment where there is lots of communication and interaction. Create a play area with materials for development of art, music, literacy, science, etc. for them to explore, interact and discover.
ReplyDeleteA grafitti classroom as children learn much better by actually seeing what they are going to learn rather than verbally teaching them. This allows them to have a imprinted image of things they have learned.

Since we deal with kids its really vital that while planning something fo them we should keep them in mind. Thus while making a learning environment for them one sholud make sure that the children are able to relate . The taskes that are asigned to them must me child centred and not hard and confusing for them. Rote learning will be avoided at all cost . Play like environment infused with educative ideas etc will beused.
ReplyDeleteAn atmosphere should be created where children can learn without fear and reservation. This way, positive and conducive learning atmosphere can be created.
