LEARNING CONTEXTS /ENVIRONMENT - Coggle Diagram
LEARNING CONTEXTS /ENVIRONMENT
the situation in which something is learned or understood, a situation that can impact how something is learned or what is taught
PHYSICAL
VIRTUAL
MENTAL AND CULTURAL SPACE, ORGANIZATIONAL AND EMOTIONAL
STUDENT-LEARNER CENTERED
attention to the needs of the learners
SS bring culture, beliefs, attitudes, skills and knowledge to the environment
A LEARNER-CENTERED TEACHER
builds on the conceptual and cultural knowledge of each student; often discussion takes place; students do much of the talking and construct their own meaning based on prior knowledge and experiences; teacher is bridge between new learning and what SS already know
KNOWLEDGE CENTERED
focus on helping SS learn new information with deep understanding so SS can use it in new situations and contexts
ASSESSMENT CENTERED
THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
the
building, the space
(classroom, lab, ecc) where activities take place;
the
players involved in the teaching / learning process
;
the
activities caried out
;
tools and technologies available
;
the
atmosphere
in which the players act;
multimediality
interaction
teacher
= no longer one of depositor of knowledge, but rather of facilitator, coordinator of the learners’ process of learning
structure / bulding
influenced by:
the size and dimensions
quality and availability of furnishings
place incourage and stimulate the development of competences, skills, knowledge and motivation
learning space
influenced by:
teacher's attitude
behavioural attitude of learners
teacher-learner relationship
teacher's skill at stimulating motivation and commitment
the role, involvement and the expectations of the parents in learning process
ORGANIZING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
design
centered on the need of learners
;
easily movable
to be appropriate for pair, group work, collaboration
provide means for
combination of physical and virtual classroom environments
a learner-centered learning environment shouldn't have the traditional "look", desks facing the teacher's desk
In other countries
teachers stable and students move around. Teachers can design their own areas
in today learning contexts, important:
MULTIMEDIALITY (anyone, anywhere), INTERACTION
TEACHER
= no longer one of depositor of knowledge, but rather of facilitator, coordinator of the learners’ process of learning
Ideas
MULTI-FUNCTIONAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
2.0 CLASS
constant use of technologies and digital languages: centered on learner autonomy and peer cooperation
PEDAGOGY
good examples
England Paul Geheeb'small, co-educational groups
Germany - School for Work
ITALY - MONTESSORI
dealt with didactic, cognitive, educational and scholastic problems; she created a school, the «Child’s Home»: spaces organized around the needs of the children
Dewey (Active schools)
FLIPPED CLASSROOM
a type of
blended learning
that
reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom
. It moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered
homework, into the classroom
OUTSIDE THE CLASS
students
watch videos
and other
multimedia
materials that explain concepts much as a teacher does during a lecture
that which is traditionally done in class is now done at home, and that which is traditionally done as homework is now completed in class.
BLENDED-LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
A
mix of technology and traditional face-to-face
, in-person instruction; it combines classroom learning with online learning,
INNOVATIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
one that is capable of evolving and adapting as educational practices evolve and change – thus remaining future-focused.
10 ways:
1
create the right mindset
2 -
self-reflection
Teachers need to look back on their teaching strategies to discover how and why they were teaching in a certain way and how their students responded; change if necessary
3 -
ask open-ended questions
Questions without textbook answers. Open-ended questions allow for various answers and points of view. Student answers can lead to strong collaboration, exciting conversations, new ideas, as well as encourage leadership skills
4 -
flexible learning environments
Consider how to use your classroom space; move furniture around the class – a crucial variable for improving student learning; the classroom space must provide ways for students to work alone, interact with their peers, and provide areas of collaboration.
5 -
learners' personality matters
There are critical differences between introverts and extroverts; one is that extroverts tend to get their energy from social interaction and introverts gain energy from quiet spaces and a time to think and reflect alone

students as leaders too--acting as guides rather than teaching content
supports
strengths-based teaching and learning
offers SS and teachers
flexibility, instrumentality, ubiquity, and connectedness
teaching and learning are
collaborative
learners are
the core participants
connectedness to
knowledge and subjects, to the community and to the wider world
