The child in this activity was the educator’s own daughter, allowing for a well-developed understanding of the child’s physical, emotional, social and cognitive needs and what was needed for the activity to meet those needs. The environment was well prepared before the lesson as described in the general learning experience plan (Appendix A), this included the area being tidied up of distractions, as well as ensuring that all materials needed for the activity were relevant, prepared and set out for easy access for the child (Campbell, etal., 2015). Campbell, Jobling and Howitt (2015) state that “Regardless of how learning experiences are presented to children (unstructured, child-instigated, teacher-instigated) or are used in centres (free play, small group, whole group) it is imperative that materials are provided for children to explore” (p. 82).

Preschool Classroom Observation

676 Words | 3 Pages

I think that the physical environment can play a major role in a child’s learning. If the classroom is very closed off and blocked the children will not feel free to explore their surrounding and become more independent. Ms. Laura’s classroom is very open and spaced out, even though the center itself is built with an open concept and only having half walls to divide the classrooms. She has organized the room in such a way that every though the different centers are clearly laid out, it’s not in such a way that makes them feel enclosed and blocked off from the rest of the room. The environment offers children a variety of different choices all in one area, all of the math, science, and table toys are together, so that a child does not have to search the entire room for something that they are looking for.

Factors Affecting Human Behavior

The topic of this assignment is to discuss and analyse what factors affect human behavior and in doing so how human behavior is shaped. But before discussing that, it is important to understand what human behavior is. To define it in a few sentences or words would not be sufficient as human behavior consists of many factors and therefore contributes majorly to who we are as a person. But to put it simply, it is defined as all actions and emotions that an individual portrays in response to the different kinds of stimuli they receive no matter whether these responses are conscious or subconscious and voluntary or involuntary (Merriam-webster.com, 2015).

My Experience In Teaching English

1663 Words | 7 Pages

Now, having no official teaching experience before, I was startled when it came time for me to design the lesson plan. My students knew literally nothing and my aims were manifold. Rather intuitively, I realized my lessons should be based on my students’ needs, so first I conducted introductory informal interviews about their goals and expectations and later while observing progress and dynamics in class, I would adjust some of the topics and activities to better suit my students’ needs. Clearly, my major goal was to improve their communicative competence, but I also kept in mind that both groups took my classes as an extracurricular activity, so I had to present these two hours in form of enjoyable intellectual stimulation, rather than a standard lesson, so it had to be structured in a way that would combine different types of activities while also engaging all four
