My Perspective on LE (Day 1 - part 2)

As I understand now that there are a total of FOUR Learning Environment overlapping each other at all time. Namely they are:

1. Learner-centred LE
- Environments that pay careful attention to skills, attitudes, knowledge and beliefs that learners bring to the setting
- Diagnostic teaching provides an example of starting from a structure of a child's knowledge
- Key strategy is to prompt children to explain and develop their knowledge structure
- it includes a sensitivity to the cultural practices of students and how that many affect their classroom learning

2. Knowledge-centred LE
- Got to do with the kind of info and activities that help learner develop an understanding of diciplines and enable them to tranfer their learning

3. Assessment-centred LE
- This provides the opportunities for fedback and revision and what is assessed must be congruent with one's learning goals, it is also a formative assessment & feedback, in term also speak about collaborative groups which helps to increase the quality of feedback

4. Community-centred LE

- it refers to the extent of the connection between teacher and students in a larger community
