Topic : Creating a positive learnind experiences
through setting up a
positive learning environment
Details :
It is very importance for a teacher to
create a positive learning experiences for the students through setting up a
positive learning environment. the teacher should recognize students' emotions,
students' backgrounds, and students' characteristics.
Classroom dynamics includes student
behaviors, emotions, and imagination; teachers’ behaviors, emotions, and
imaginations; teachers’ ways of presenting academic materials; students’
interactions with teachers; and students’ interactions with other students. Good classroom dynamics consist in the engagement of
everybody in the classroom. Classroom dynamics are the products of a teacher’s
interactions with the entire class. In many ways, positive classroom dynamics
result from the intersection of professionalism with a dedication to connect
with students and make a difference in their lives. Here are some ways to make a good
classroom dynamics :
1. Routines
·
Starting the
lesson with something familiar will make students feel safe, secure, and more
confident in their abilities.
·
Students should
be part of the first 5 -10 lessons of a course.
·
The teachers
should join in the activity themself
·
Ending the lesson
with something you know they can do, something that’s familiar and easily
achievable will ensure they finish their English lesson on a positive ‘I can do
it’ note, rather than an ‘English is hard and I don’t like it’ negative note.
2. Interactions
Good classroom dynamics involve interaction, and practice at interacting
is a key element in learning and being able to speak a language.
·
Set the tone
early to improve teachers’ ability to comunicate with students
·
Start by giving
your students some ground rules for discussion, and engage them with
comfortable, simple discussion topics and tasks early in the semester.
·
Later, when
effective class rapport is established, you can move more easily to more
challenging problems, subjects, and discussion formats.
3. Positive
Learning Environment
One of the
most important aspects a teacher can foster for a positive classroom environment
is the overall attitude. Remember that even an unsupportive parent, or an
argumentative student does not have to affect your feelings or make you angry
unless you allow them to.
4. Classroom
Contracts
The Classroom Contract serves as a collaboratively-created framework for
behavior expectations in the classroom. Students and teacher work together to
design an agreement for classroom norms, rules and consequences.
·
Every classroom
has contracts in place, some explicit, some implicit.
·
The
explicit contracts are usually found in the syllabus: what the course is
about, what has to be read when, what and when papers or exams are due, what
the grading scheme is.
·
Implicit
contracts at work: who gets to speak, for how long, how do they get to speak,
who sets the agenda, what kind of learning is expected, how is success measured.
How To Use Classroom
Contracts?
·
Ask students’
opinions
·
Ensure the ideas will nurture a safe learning environment.

Teacher actions.

Treating students
fairly does not mean treating them the same.
