Activity No 3. Preparing the Learning Environment: An Overview

A leaning environment, traditionally called classroom, is a space in a school that supports student learning. It is a
self-contained area where teachers and children learn. In the classroom are chairs or tables for students and a front
table for the teacher. This is a traditional face-t-face classroom. Most often the students should face the teacher as
the chairs are arranged that way. But as teaching deliveries changed to enhance learning, modification in the seating
arrangement evolved and more opportunity for the learners to move about for cooperative learning was addressed.

A conducive learning environment should have the following characteristics:

 Flexibility- There is opportunity to have small groups, movable walls.

 Openness – Learning corners\areas which could be shared.
 Access to resources- audio-visual materials are ready and open for use.
 Physical classroom – Space is clean and safe.
 Psychological atmosphere- It is friendly and accommodating

Activity 4. Enhancing a Face-to-Face Learning Environment

Enhancing a Face-to-Face or In-Person Classroom Environment for Learning

In a face-to-Face classroom, students and the teacher are physically present. They meet at a time set in the
classroom. The teacher prepares activities, provides instruction and evaluates student’s learning. equipment and
instructional materials are made available in the classroom where teaching and learning take place most of the
time.

Some of the advantages of a Face-to Face learning environment for students are:

 Less distraction and a more concentration than when studying at home or elsewhere;
 Greater understanding and real world examples from teachers and classmates;
 Greater chance of completing course work by doing it in the classroom space;
 Learn more easily and a more comfortably in familiar, traditional classroom situation
 Access more relevant information from teachers and classmates interactions and,
 Greater opportunity to connect and socialize, network and solve problems together with classmates and
teacher.

Notice

Having been exposed to the traditional classrooms in your basic education, it seems that everything is familiar.
However, as teaching-learning theories evolve over time there are changes that are taking place.

What changes have you noticed in the face-to-Face classroom spaces?

Activity No. 5 . Creating my Classroom\Remote Learning Management Plan

Remote learning Management Plan

A classroom Management Plan is a plan that a teacher designs that sets the expectations for every student. The
purpose of a classroom management plan is to make the students accountable for their actions. Effective classroom
management increases student’s success, enhances student’s academic skills and competencies and promotes social
and emotional development.

A good learning environment produces highly engaged students who learn more. Do more and work more. Teachers
likewise become more creative and productive in their work.

Key Elements for Effective Classroom Management

1. Classroom Design – This refers to seating arrangement, bulletin Boards, display, storage area,
equipment, supplies etc.
2. Rules. These are the expectations set at the beginning of the class to foster love, care, respect and
sense of community in the class.
3. Discipline.- Classroom rules must define the consequences of every action\misdemeanor in class.
This will ensure fairness and consistency in dealing with the students. This also includes the rewards
given for good behavior.
4. Scheduling- This includes time allotment given for each period and activity in class. This will make
the students to stay on time and on task.
5. Organization. This refers to the systematic arrangement of files and records and keeping them
organized always and ready for use.
6. Instructional techniques- These are ways by which you implement your learning content. Tailoring
your techniques to the subject, grade levels and nature of the learner is really important.
7. Communication- Consistent open lines of communication to all the stakeholders of the school
community will lead to better-student teacher relationship.

Activities 6 and 7. Writing My Learning\Lesson Plans and Delivering My Lessons

Dear FS2 students:

I prefer not to require you to answer Activities 6 & 7 and to write your own Lesson plan \
Delivering My Lessons for your actual demonstration teaching because I understand many
of you have done this already. Instead, I will give you only the terms for advance
information about various Learning delivery Modalities from the Department of
Education.
Thank you.
__________________________________________________________________________

Various Learning Delivery Modalities of DEPED Philippines

Distance Learning . This refers to a learning delivery modality where learning takes place
between the teacher and the learners who are geographically remote from each other
during instructions.
Modular Distance. Learning is in the form of individualized instruction that allows learners
to use self-learning modules (SLMs) in print or digital format\electronic copy, whichever is
applicable in the context of the learner and other learning resources like Learner’s
Materials,. Textbooks, activity sheets, study guides and other study materials.
Online Distance Learning. It features the teacher facilitating learning and engaging learner’s
active participation using various technologies accessed through the internet while they are
geographically remote from each other during instruction.
Home Schooling. It is an alternative delivery mode (ADM) that aims to provide learners with
equal access to quality basic education through a home-based environment to be facilitated
by qualified parents, guardians or tutors who have undergone relevant training.
Blended Learning. This refers to a learning modality that allows for a combination of face-to-
face and online distance learning (ODL), face-to-face and modular distance learning (MDL),
face-to-face and TV\Radio-based Instruction (RBI), and face-to-face learning and a
combination with two or more types of distance learning.
Traditional Face-toFace Learning. This refers to a learning delivery modality where the
students and the teacher are both physically present in the classroom and there are
opportunities for active engagement, immediate feedback and socio-emotional
development of learners.
Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM). Alternative Delivery Modes (ADM) are tried and
tested alternative modalities of education delivery within the confines of the formal system
 that allow schools to deliver quality education to marginalized students and those at risk of
dropping out in order to help them overcome personal, social and economic constraints in
their schooling.
