PLACE FOR LEARNING: A BEAUTIFUL DESTINATION

Cornele L. Tayag

Classroom Management is a set of strategies that teachers utilize to help students perform at their highest levels. It is in the hands of the teachers the success or failures of students to learn because the best tool in teaching is the teacher himself.

Teachers should anticipate what skills and work habits, students’ need, and these make classroom life academically productive and satisfying. Our classroom are the extensions of our homes, we should make our rooms their homes. It needs a lot of time and effort to make conducive learning environment for them. Because their classrooms affects the teaching and learning, their perception of the development of the six capabilities of critical thinking, self-managed learning, adaptability, problem solving, communication skills, and interpersonal skills and work.

By modelling and reinforcing positive behaviours and environments, teachers, can facilitate learning and minimize disruptions and distractions. Formal classhome setups are still vital in promoting students learning. Because their surroundings greatly affect their acquisition of learning in this sense, students are motivated and interested to participate when they have nice classhomes.

On the contrary, they say that “learning happens everywhere, not just in the classroom”. Clare Matterson believed that informal learning has massive potential to give meaning, relevance and context to the ideas that schools offer. Such as experiences can provide an emotional response, offer a moment of revelation or even simply, be a bit of fun.

However, our belief about the importance of these experiences is just that convincing inference at best. We need to make sure that through informal learning, they are provided with experiences that are inspiring even life changing-as young minds make sense of the world.

Whether it is formal or informal setup of learning, as long as it helps students’ learning, develop passion for learning and willingness to learn, I think, either way, if leads to a beautiful destination towards success.
