Classroom Learning

 

Below is an excerpt from an article I wrote before in Triond.com. However, the website is no longer existing so I posted on my blog this excerpt with hyperlinks.

What enriches learning in the classroom is cultural diversity. Learners come from various backgrounds which impact classroom processes. Huitt, (2003) states that classroom processes include “teacher and student behaviors in the classroom as well as some other variables such as classroom climate and teacher/student relationships (p. 3).” Teacher’s behavior involves planning, management, and instruction (Huitt, 2003). To effect learning, a teacher prepares her daily lesson from the motivation or preliminary activity to make students relate prior knowledge to new concepts about to be learned up to the evaluation or assessment of students’ learning either through paper-and-pencil exercises or performance-based activities for better retention of concepts. Classroom Management, on the other hand, refers “to a set of strategies that teachers and students use to ensure a productive, harmonious learning environment to prevent disruptions in the learning process,” (Rothstein-Fisch, & Trumbull, 2008, p. 2). Finally, instruction refers to orchestration of student learning.
