Effective learning environment
Effective learning environment includes techniques and strategies that create a positive
and productive classroom experience. Classroom management is an essential tool in preventing
and responding to misbehavior, while providing effective well-structured instructions. These
strategies will ensure motivation to learn that utilizes classroom-learning time effectively. The
easiest way to deal with behavior problems is to make sure they do not occur in the first place.f
Class rules and procedures are guidelines of expected behaviors of students, which are in line
with official school policies and violations. These rules outline roles students have during whole
class learning, group learning, and individual learning.
Time management is an important part of having an effective learning environment.
Students are under a teacher’s classroom for a specified amount of time. It important that the
teacher maximizes learning by utilizing the wisely. Teachers should avoid late starts and early
finishes. Collections and distributions of material should be done at times where it will not
disrupt the learning flow. Organization using an in & out box can save time for homework
collections. Returning test and homework can be done during individual seatwork. This will
give time for teachers to give a few minutes for evaluation and feedback to students. This
method can help track students learning progressions, and whether they understood materials
taught. Using clear signals to managing transitions seatwork, group work, or class work;
prevents wasting time on shuffling and provides more time to learn.
Small group work can allow active learning amongst students. Constructivists believe
that sociocognitive learning a great learning environment for students. This gets students to feel
more engaged in their work. By assigning roles to students, it allows students to participate in
different roles that encourages discussions, and allows them to learn from one another. By
keeping students busy with fun activities, the probability for misbehavior is reduced and the
learning effectiveness is increased. Group alerting is a questioning strategy that could be applied
to keep all students on their toes during lectures or discussions.
Practicing strategies such as praising, or reinforce can greatly contribute to an effective
learning environment. These behavior guiding practices will mold students to be more
respectable and attentive students that are more willing to learn. By starting out the year right,
preventing unwanted behavior, and giving a structure learning environment; students can be
provided an effective learning environment.
