Learning environment issues in the classroom and how to overcome them(in
relation with the theory).
Learning environments are typically constructivist in nature, engaging learners in
!sense-making! or reasoning a"out e#tensive resource sets. Learning environments
typically include four components$ an ena"ling conte#t, resources, a set of tools, and
scaffolds %&annafin, Land, ' (liver, )***+. ,ssue is an important topic or pro"lem for
de"ate or discussion. Learning environment issues is either important topic or pro"lem
involved while the learning process is held. -very issue occurred has its solution and
ways to overcome. .esides, the steps taken have to "e related with the theories.
/or e#ample$
/irst issues that will "e discussed is students who always coming late to the
class. 0hen students come to class late, it can disrupt the flow of a lecture or
discussion, distract other students, impede learning, and generally erode class morale.
1oreover, if left unchecked, lateness can "ecome chronic and spread throughout the
class.
Coming late to the
class.
-1ake a rule.
-2eacher coming
to the class
punctually.

0ays to
overcome
2heory used
.andura theory
,n order to overcome this pro"lem, teacher must show a good e#ample too, for instance
teacher have to come to the early or punctual so that students will see a good
e#ample. ,n relation to the .andura3s modeling theory, .andura and 0altes had
successfully proved that children normally imitate "ehaviours of model. ,n this case,
students will follow the teacher3s action. tudents also will enter the class
punctually. According to .andura3s theory, learning through o"servation is a "asic
form of human "ehavior. ("servation learning occurs when individual3s "ehaviours
are learned from o"servation of others, who are called models. 2eachers may apply
direct reinforcement for e#ample praising the students who come early to class, this
will motivate the occurrence of imitated "ehavior. Another way is "y making a rule.
4ohl"erg5s 2heory of 1oral Development states that in the stage one which is -
("edience and Punishment,
the earliest stage of moral development is especially common in young children, "ut
adults are also capa"le of e#pressing this type of reasoning. At this stage, children
see rules as fi#ed and a"solute. ("eying the rules is important "ecause it is a
means to avoid punishment.
Another issue is negative relationship "etween students and teacher.
2his negative relationship can "e overcome "y practicing effective communication.
-#ample of their negative relationship is student does not respect teacher and teacher
is stereotyping the students "ased on their religion and races. ,n order to solve this case
teacher and students need to apply good communication "etween them. Lasswell5s
%)*67+ model has "een further developed and modernised and is now referred to as the
Negative
relationship
"etween students
and teacher
-ffective
communication
Lasswell3s model
communication
theory
5/ive 0s5 and this model has "een widely used, particularly when managing change.
&owever, addressing the 5/ive 0s5 is an essential element of all communication. ,n
Lasswell5s theory, using 8 03s which are 0ho,when,where, what should "e told9 and
0ho should control the communications process9 -ffective communication is important
to avoid misunderstanding "etween two parties. ,n this case, teacher should use
suita"le words or "ody language. /or instance, teacher should remem"er all the
students3 name so that they will feel appreciated and motivate to learn. Another thing is,
each of them should respect each other. Not only student respects the teacher, "ut the
teacher also have to respect students.
Ne#t issue is slow learner students.
low learner is a person who wants to learn, "ut he:she is slow. As a teacher, the
teacher has to pay more attention to the slow learner students. 2he teacher needs to
prepare e#tra remedial e#ercises to them, so that they can catch up the lesson. ,n
relation to Pavlov classical conditioning theory, teacher may use stimulus in teaching
and learning process. Classical conditioning is a refle#ive or automatic type of learning
in which a stimulus ac;uires the capacity to evoke a response that was originally
evoked "y another stimulus. /or e#ample, teacher provides presents or reward if the
students can achieve certain target or learning o"<ectives. 2eacher must allocate
sufficient e#ercises for pupils to strengthen the application of conditioned stimulus and
conditioned response. /or e#ample, give related e#ercises regularly. .esides, use
low learner
students.
Pay more attention
=sing suita"le
teaching methods
Pavlov classical
conditioning theory
secondary reinforcement to sustain conditioned response to avoid process of e#tinction.
/or instance, use new, similar stimulus as conditioned stimulus to motivate pupils for
their su"se;uent learning activities.
Another issue is students do not do homework, task and assignment given.
,n order to overcome this type of student who is la>y to do the homework given "y the
teacher, teacher should use positive and negative reinforcement. ,n relation with
kinner3s operant conditioning theory, reinforcement is a techni;ue or process which
uses the reinforce to strengthen and sustain the relevant response. Positive
reinforcement occurs when a response is strengthened "ecause of a rewarding stimulus
that follows. Negative reinforcement occurs when a response is strengthened "ecause
of the removal of an unpleasant stimulus. Negative reinforcement is not the same as
punishment. /or instance, withdrawal of the recess time if students did not do their
homework. Negative reinforcement is also suita"le and can "e used to achieve the
desired "ehavior.

tudent does not paying attention to the teacher while learning process held is another
learning environment issue.
2eacher needs to adopt a constructivist approach in teaching and learning and
emphasi>e pupils learn "est through active participation in pro"lem solving. 2eacher
constructs the learning environment into a setting of e#ploration and discovery and
emphasi>e on pupils3 interest and natural participation in learning activities. tudents
construct knowledge and ac;uire skills through social interaction and socialdramatic
activities. ,n order to make students interest in the su"<ect taught,organi>es
colla"orative learning in the classroom and also organi>e learning that involves a
community of learners outside the school. 1oreover, teacher should guide students3
learning "ased on the social culture setting in which they live. .ased on the theory of
constructivism in teaching and learning activities, teacher only plays the role as adviser,
facilitator and planner, while pupils will play the main role in learning process.

2he last issue is physical factor in the classroom like dirty classroom and the
arrangement of the furniture.
Physical component includes all physical settings such as classroom, teaching-learning
aids, facilities inside and outside the classroom. 0hen the physical factors "ecome a
pro"lem to students, it makes the learning environment not conducive. ,n order to
overcome this issue, making a duty roster to clean up the classroom, the works are
divided to each person in the classroom, for instance some students will clean the
white"oard, some students will sweep the floor and arrange the ta"les. ,n deciding the
arrangement of furniture and decoration in the classroom, student needs to voice up
opinion if they do not like the teacher3s style. ,n relation to 4ohler3s learning theory
teacher needs to encourage students to use their insight to solve the pro"lem and
guides students to use their perception to relate elements in the surroundings.

Alhamdulillah, thank to @od "ecause , managed to complete this pair work. ,
have done this coursework with my partner, Asmaa. 2his coursework has A part which
are A essays ,one is a"out classroom plan and another one is on learning environment
issues. , complete the second essay which a"out learning environment issue. /or
education in school to "e effective, the environment needs to "e conducive to learning,
allowing the pupils space and time to interact within the learning and teaching process.
Creating and maintaining stimulating learning environments can "e achieved through
effective classroom organisation, interactive and whole school displays and a climate of
innovation. 2eacher needs to create conducive learning environment.
2hrough out completing this essay , have gained a lot of new knowledge
a"out the learning environment issues and also refreshing my knowledge on learning
theories that , had learnt "efore in semester two. Another thing is , have learnt a"out the
conducive classroom plan, the arrangement of ta"les and chairs, the lamp, white"oard
and decorations in the classroom. 2his is very useful knowledge and new things that ,
have learnt. As a future teacher, , need to know this things so that when , go to the
school soon, , know the "est classroom plan. /or students, the classroom environment
is very important. 2he si>e of the classroom and interior areas, the colors of the walls,
the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light, and the room arrangement all
influence how students learn. 2houghtful arrangement of the indoor and outdoor
environments will support your learning goals for students.
,n this course classroom management, classroom management is a term used
"y teachers to descri"e the process of ensuring that classroom lessons run smoothly
despite disruptive "ehavior "y students. 2o make sure the lesson runs smoothly, the
learning environment needs to "e conducive so that students will learn effectively.
,n conclusion, its very good to overcome the classroom pro"lem using learning
theories or other related and suita"le theories. 2his is "ecause the theories have "een
proved "efore, so it good to apply them in achieving effective learning process. As a
future teacher, , hope , can make full use of the knowledge that , have learnt now when ,
go to school to teacher soon.
2hat3s all. 2hank you.
