Teaching environment is a complex system composed of many different elements. Teaching environment in a broad sense refers to all conditions (including material and spiritual) that affect school teaching activities. It can be a physical environment or a psychological environment.
Moreover, these two environments can exist as relatively independent subsystems with different components. Narrow teaching environment refers to all the conditions that affect teaching in a class, including class size, seating mode, class atmosphere, teacher-student relationship and so on. Teaching environment can be divided into physical environment and social, cultural and psychological environment, and its earliest practitioner is Italian preschool educator Montessori.
Teachers should create a vivid, warm, rich and novel teaching environment for students in order to improve the teaching effect.
The physical environment includes:
The physical environment of teaching is composed of various physical and material factors in the school, such as school buildings, teaching tools, time and space. We can divide the physical environment of teaching into facility environment, natural environment and space-time environment.
1. Facility environment:
Facility environment, including teaching places and teaching tools, is the core component of the physical environment. Whether the teaching facilities are complete or not is directly related to the quality of the whole school environment and the normal teaching activities.
2. Natural environment:
The natural environment of a school refers to the natural geographical location and climatic conditions in which the school is located, which generally defines the overall environmental appearance of the school. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery, which will naturally bring joy to teachers and students.
Although we can't change these natural environment factors by manpower, we can make full use of them, which can not only coordinate the architectural style of the school with the natural environment, but also make these precious natural resources become the source for students to carry out patriotic education, cultivate their sentiments and carry out research-based learning.
3. Time and space environment:
Space-time environment refers to the specific environment composed of time and space in schools. Time and space are inseparable and complement each other. Teaching is a continuous process, but the time provided for teaching is always a constant. As a teaching place, the capacity of space is always limited.
Different time arrangements organize all school activities in an orderly way in a limited space. Reasonable organization of teaching space activities in unit time to improve teaching efficiency is equivalent to winning more study time for students; In a certain space, if the utilization rate of space can be fully improved, it is equivalent to expanding the teaching space.
Research shows that people's mental activity ability has different performances at different times of the day. Therefore, whether the allocation of time can be arranged scientifically has a great influence on the physiology and psychology of teachers and students, thus affecting the teaching effect. Therefore, according to the characteristics of teenagers' learning psychology and the nature of different subjects, it is an important content to arrange the study time reasonably so that students can relax and combine work and rest in their study.
