A Facilitative Learning Environment

Learning Environment consist of Physical, Psychological and Socio Environment where
teaching and learning takes place in most effective and productive manner.
The Physical Environment consists of physical condition of the classroom, arrangement
of the furniture, seating arrangement, and the classroom temperature and lightning. As it is well
explained that students loved to learn especially when the environment during the lesson will
already clean, lighted, ventilated, quite classroom, and spacious enough to move.
The Psychological Climate includes the safety of the students in the hand of the school
and the teacher. On how they respect for diversity, the engagement between student and the
school, the social support of the adults and the social support of the parents to their students
through leadership with other learners. And lastly, the Teaching and learning.
In facilitating the learners, teachers must know how students comfortable with the
environment and how students act and interact with other people inside the learning
environment. It is the environment who can help learners and teachers more comfortable and
have a good ambiance for them to learn to each other.
According to Pine and Horne (1990) described the learning environment that facilitates
learning. It is an environment:
 Which encourages people to be active- a psychological classroom which
supportive learnings engages in the learning process. Such as the activities from
the classroom who made by the learners through their learning progress.
 Which promotes and facilities the individual’s discovery of the personal meaning
of idea- it means that it is not imposed by the teacher rather than by the learners
through their experiences considering the uniqueness of individuals.
 Which emphasizes the uniquely personal and subjective nature of learning-
Every learner is unique. Whereas, learners have the different ability and skills
might not the same as others therefore, find something that can be relate to the
common uniqueness of the learners.
 In which difference is good and desirable- there is respect for diversity. To be
different does not mean to be deficient. Where, as a teacher, you are able to
know and adapt the environment you have and think of what will be the
advantages and disadvantages for them to make more creative more than they
expect.
 Which consistently recognizes people’s right to make mistakes- Learners feel at
ease and learn beast when mistake are welcome because they recognize as part
of the learning process. As it is very well said that, there is nobody’s perfect in
this world but let you be perfect for it will build self-confidence.
 Which tolerates ambiguity- this leads to openness to ideas and prevents teachers
and learners alike to be judgmental.
 In which evaluation is a cooperative process with emphasis on self-evaluation—
the makes evaluation less threatening. The learners are not alone when he
evaluates learning. He is with a group. His or her progress is seen against his or
her targets not against the performance of his or her classmates.
 Which encourages openness of self rather than concealment of self- People feel
at ease and so aren’t be afraid to be transparent.

 In which people feel they are respected- Everyone is convinced of the inner or
dignity of each individual and so it is easy to respect everyone.
 In which people feel they are accepted.- There is a sense of self belongingness.
 Which permits confrontation- Since learners feel at ease and feel they are
accepted, they are not afraid to confront themselves.
