MODULE 24: The Physical Learning Environment

This document discusses key factors in the physical learning environment. It analyzes responses to a checklist about classroom characteristics like seating flexibility, lighting, and safety. Items like lack of chairs were not fully within a teacher's control, but other factors could still be improved. Academic noise from student discussions is considered a positive sign, as it shows engagement with the material. Overall, the first described classroom that allows movement, whole-class visibility, and a spacious, safe environment is deemed better for maintaining a positive classroom climate.

MODULE 24: The Physical Learning Environment

Analysis
1. Review your checklist. Which items were answered NO? YES?

 Items number 4, 10,11,12 and 13, I checked NO and the rest I checked YES.

2. Are the items answered No within the capacity of the teacher to remedy? How?
 Not all, for example, every student has a chair/desk. It’s not the teacher’s fault that there is lack
of chairs. A teacher is not responsible of providing chairs. But the rest, the teacher knows what
he/she need to do to achieve and activate student learning. For instance, the teacher is the one
who arrange the seats to be more flexible and comfortable during discussion.

3. Are the items answered YES, truly YES? Is there still room for improvement? Explain your
answer.
 Yes, I think all of them are enough to make a classroom attractive. For example, the classroom is
well-ventilated, adequate lighting, safe and clean, is more than enough for the students and
teacher to satisfy their needs in a good classroom.
4. What is academic noise? Is that something you must frown upon?

 Academic noise is the student conversations regarding an academic topic using academic
language. So, that kind of noise were students working together and discussing academic
content. No, it is more fun having this kind of noise in a classroom because you can feel and
observe the sincerity of the students to the topic, you can sense that they are learning and
love the subject matter.

5. Between the 2 classrooms, which is better? Why?


 The first one, a classroom that allows student movement without distraction, allows teacher to
survey the whole class, safe, clean and spacious is the better classroom like an ideal classroom.
It is a conducive classroom that maintain positive classroom climate.
