    C M Charles Synergetic Classroom

    Uploaded by

    C.M. Charles was a prominent educational psychologist and professor who developed the concept of the "Synergetic Classroom". A Synergetic Classroom aims to create a high-energy environment for learning through 9 essential elements: ethics, trust, charisma, communication, interest, class agreements, coopetition, human relations, and problem resolution. These elements are meant to foster cooperation, build relationships, and resolve issues constructively. Charles argues that when implemented effectively, this approach can lead to "peak educational experiences" for both teachers and students. However, it also has some potential disadvantages such as being difficult to achieve perfectly in practice and allowing for an unequal division of work.
