Reflection
Based on your observations and discussions, summarize what you have observed.
Think about:
 The idea of learners being ‘active’ learners. Discuss how the classroom organization
facilitates activities for the learners. Give examples of activities you observed and the way
in which the classroom organization makes these activities accessible. Consider ease of
movement within the learning environment.
 How and where are materials stored in the classroom? Do the children/learners need to
be able to get and put materials away?
 Where does the teacher have her table/papers/materials?
 Are there areas that encourage independent learning? Give some examples. Why are
these areas important?
