Session 1 Reflection Lah...

First Impression:
This module is definitely relevant to what I am doing which means value for time (or money). The approaches used to conduct this module is aligned to what it preaches. I am looking forward to an active learning process.

As we discuss the questions pertaining to Learning Environment (LE) i.e. Questions like "What is it?", "Why work on it?", "How to improve it?" and "How to assess it?", a series of BIG questions not discussed in the session popped in my head.

These questions start with "WHO".
"WHO is to define it in reality?"
"WHO should work on it?"
"WHO is to improve it?"
"WHO is to assess it?"

Is this "WHO" the Principal of the school? Is this "WHO" the Heads of Department? or Is this "WHO" the teacher in the classroom?

Of course every one of the above is the "WHO". As long as every one of the above does his part to make the LE a better place for learning for our pupils, he has done his part.

For a teacher, his scope of influencing the classroom LE lies in his hands. He should not wait for the Principal or the HODs to initiate. He should be conciously and continuosly make effort to enhance the LE to increase learning for his pupils.

Definitely, I am one of the "WHO" who can make a difference to the LE for my pupils.

NOW the next BIG question is "What to do to enhance LE?"

As I progress through the module, I would be a better Change Manager of LE.....and an active one too...continously seeking a good balance.
