Introduction
The learning environment is the place where teaching and
learning can take place in the most effective and
productive manner. It consists of the classroom and all
the instructional features and the non-threatening
classroom climate needed in planning and
implementing all teaching and learning activities.
Arrangement of Furniture
The furniture, like the table for demonstration located in front of the room
and the chairs facing it are neatly arranged with sufficient spaces inbetween for ease in moving around. Display shelves for safekeeping
of projects, collections and outstanding work are located at the sides.
Attached to the wall is the bulletin board for hanging posters,
announcements and illustrations about the unit being undertaken.
During discussions, the board in front is used for clarifying step-bystep procedures and making clearer diagrams, illustrations and
figures.

Teaching devices like globes, maps and charts are kept in nearby
cabinets, together with simple tools and materials. A temporary
table is placed at the right side where supplies, materials and
handled instruments are arranged, ready for the days lesson.
Interactions
A diverse situation may exist in the classroom at any given time.
Students differ in abilities and interests while teachers likely
employ different strategies. Teachers must be sensitive to
positive or negative interactions and must immediately
undertake an instant revision or adjustment in the methodology
when necessary. The primary goal is to be able to motivate
them to work harmoniously, thereafter, inculcate the values of
cooperation and congeniality.

learning. It is an environment:
Which encourages people to be active;
Which promotes and facilitates the individuals discovery of the
personal meaning of idea;
Which emphasizes the uniquely personal and subjective nature of
learning in which difference is good and desirable;
