Analysis

The teacher and environment plays a vital role in molding students to become a better person in the future.

Learning takes more place if the students are engaged and discussions are associated to real life situation.

The theory of John Dewey which is learning by doing really matters most; The students are more attentive if they are hand-on with the activities. Also the theory of Constuctivism, that human generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas. Student assimilate when they incorporate the new experience into an already existing framework without changing that framework and aligned their experiences with their internal representations of the world and environment.

Reflections

1. Can you consider the school environment you just observe conducive to learning? Why?

The Sisters of Mary School is very conducive for learning because the classroom has a wide windows that allows fresh air to come, it has adequate equipment and machines that are useful in hands-on for the students and their buildings are far from the main highway.

2. What are the characteristics of a classroom that is conducive to learning?

The characteristics of a classroom that is conducive for learning are: furniture and physical arrangements,  learning is related to life, instruction is varied, learning is student-centered, behavioral expectations are clear.
