WORKSHEET #1
Task 1
What is a learning environment?
1. Copy and paste on the matrix below at least 5 statements that define LEARNING

some more from other available materials. Remember to cite your sources after each
statement.
Definitions
Sources
A learning environment is a place where learners feel comfortable,
encouraged and inspired by their surroundings. Alternative terms are
learning space, educational setting, school environment, etc. The type
of learning taking place and other variables determine the type of
environment. For example, formal studies may take place in an
institution like a university or study centre. Different environments
influence a student's relationships, resources, time and control over
their learning.

The term learning environment encompasses learning resources and
technology, means of teaching, modes of learning, and connections to
societal and global contexts. The term also includes human behavioral
and cultural dimensions, including the vital role of emotion in learning,
and it requires us to examine and sometimes rethink the roles of
teachers and students.

The learning environment includes the intellectual, social, emotional
and physical environments of a course; all of which will affect learning.
Instructor-student interactions and the tone of the course may affect
how students approach learning and work through difficulties. The
demographics of students within the course, and how peers interact,
also play a key role in this environment.

3. Put together the terms into concise statement(s) to make your operational definition of a
21st century LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. You may add in some more ideas that you wish
to be included. Write your final statement below.
A learning environment is a setting that encompasses human
behavior and cultural contexts in which it revolves around student learnings,
classroom interactions, and teacher approaches. It’s a positive space that
provides holistic support to the students such as intellectual, social, and
emotional that fosters the development and growth of wellbeing. Learning
environment optimizes the learning process and learning outcomes of
students. It includes a social support system to ensure a harmonious
connection between the teacher and the students, as well as offers learning
resources, effective modes of learning, and teaching methods that uphold
the standard and effectiveness of classroom instruction.
Task 2
What are the different components of a learning environment?
1. Examine your final statement in Task 1. What did you say an environment must have to be
conducive for learning? Name all of them in clusters using the matrix below. You may add
some more ideas that may come from your own experiences as a student.
2.
Context

Conduct
Covenant
What elements surround
the school and learning
environment?
What do teachers use or
do to facilitate teaching
and learning?
What are the different
behaviors that learners
bring to the LE?
What should an LE have
to ensure that persons
relate with one another
appropriately?
The elements that must
be present and
surrounding the school
and learning
environment are
technologies, facilities,
teacher-student
relationships, a positive
atmosphere, a
supportive system, an
effective curriculum,
creative space,
motivational culture,
inclusiveness, and daily
activities.
Teachers in the 21st
century used different
tools and methods to
facilitate teaching and
learning. It includes
creative techniques for
guiding the learning,
such as audiovisual
tools, motivational and
engageable activities,
relevant and effective
learning materials, and
teaching strategies that
promote studentcentered learning.
The behaviors that must
be brought into the
learning environment are
having a sense of
responsibility in learning
and decisions, being
willing to collaborate with
peers, a sense of
respect, a positive
attitude, and
selflessness.
The learning
environment must
possess a positive space
that ensures healthy
communication between
teachers and learners. In
order to do this, teachers
must encourage higher
levels of student
performance, provide
honest feedback, and
understand students
diversity needs.
Which of the components do you think is most essential? Why?
The component that I think is most essential is context. In order to have an effective and
positive learning environment, we must have adequate elements in our learning environment.
The learning environment must have good facilities, educational technology, a positive
classroom atmosphere, and a motivational culture. Moreover, when implementing conductive
learning, this component must be the first one to be present and taken into account.
3.
What do you think may happen to teaching and learning when a component is not
considered?
The four components mentioned above must be considered and present in teaching and
learning. Context refers to the surroundings and learning environment in which students is
going to reside and grow as learners; Content refers to the materials and methods used by
teachers to facilitate learning; Conduct refers to student behavior; and Covenant refers to
students' relationships with one another in the learning environment. If one of these
components fails to be implemented, we be unable to achieve the desired learning outcomes.
4.
What roles do teachers play in ensuring that all these components dynamically relate in the
learning environment?
I believe that one of the most effective things teachers can do to maintain the dynamics of
these components is to constantly assess and evaluate the learning environment. The role
of the teacher is to monitor that these components are properly implemented in his or her
learning environment. It could also be seen in student performance and learning outcomes.
