Learning Environment

Hello. My name is johanna johanna Arabic and I would

like to share my thoughts on the learning environment.

Uh There are two types of flexible and traditional and

then I will show you my classroom and then what

I think uh I should use and what is the

best for the for the students.

The flexible learning environment is just that uh the chairs

and tables they can move around.

The students can move around and uh everyone feels like

uh everyone feels more comfortable um talking to each other

sharing the knowledge.

And uh and learning the learning process is more easier

and more interesting and it's not uh something that uh

you you have to know that you have to learn

that now.

Uh The students think okay now we are learning and

I have to do this.

It's uh with flexible environment it's more like the the

students come into the classroom, they feel comfortable, they talk

to each other.

And during this uh comfortable times learning happens when the

students are more relaxed as we can see the picture

on the top left it.

I really like this uh this classroom.

It feels so welcome me.

It feels like home.

So students uh probably uh feeling very relaxed.

Like when they come in here, the second picture as

well, we see the tables they can move around.

So students that want to work in groups, uh they

can, they can do, and then the students who want

to work by themselves, they can also do that.

And then we have traditional way when, where we have

on all the tables.

When I think about the traditional way.

I think about my high school when I was going

to, my high school teacher was always uh above the

students. So you had to talk to them and to

show the respect.

The teachers even had different bedrooms then the students so

they would never um uh, be together.

The students were scared of the teachers, they wouldn't ask

the questions, they never moved around, so it was just

like teacher was teaching and students were like taking notes.

And um and learning, I don't like this approach.

I think it's very strict.

The students get scared and nervous during the teaching the

time. They don't think they don't feel comfortable and they

don't uh feel welcoming.

This kind of classroom.

Yeah. Uh the picture on the left is my classroom,

the picture on the right.

I couldn't turn it around for some reason.

Um uh my classroom is pretty plain, uh as we

can see, it's a computer lab, so it's kind of

hard to to make it flexible, but still, I think

I can add like more, at least maybe a couch

or lazy bag.

But our students can just uh just feel comfortable that

they are here, even though I do try to make

them feel comfortable, like to try to talk to them

uh to let them walk around being the groups and

uh just make the learning process a little a little

bit easier for them.

The second picture is also the classroom in our school

um also playing uh computer lab as well, so it's

uh I think it's kind of hard to to make

computer like flexible.

There is a there is the choices and I think

uh I should make some changes.

Uh And I hope I will do that in the

in the future.

Uh As we can see, I like flexible learning environment

much better than the traditional one, It's more comfortable.

It motivates a more both students and teachers, it's more

relaxed. Uh But on the other side sometimes it's hard

to get, it's hard to make.

And then uh when I saw the video about the

schools that are in nature's uh that are uh very

environmental, uh I must say that sometimes it's hard to

do that, especially uh like in Kansas, we don't have

much woods, so our school cannot be like very uh

environmental, we cannot uh make schools that have huge glass

windows that are open uh like they do in different

countries, for example, in Finland, Sweden or Japan.

So, um I do like flexible learning environment.

It's uh it's very good for for both students and

the teacher, but sometimes it is, it's hard to get,

and it is hard to manage.
