    The document discusses constructivist learning environments and the role of technology in creating them. It defines a learning environment as the physical and cultural contexts where students learn, including the school and classroom culture. According to constructivist principles, effective learning environments require teachers to be creative in designing spaces where students can actively construct knowledge through problem-solving, exploration of difficult subjects, and social interaction, rather than passive reception of information. The document contrasts traditional teacher-centered classrooms to ideal constructivist classrooms that support motivated, contextual learning through use of prior knowledge to facilitate new understanding.

    When do we say that an
    environment is a learning
    environment?
    Learning Environment
    -refers to the diverse physical locations,
    contexts, and cultures in which students
    learn
    - encompasses the culture of a school or
    class
    - more than just its physical components
    Designing and developing an
    effective learning environment is
    the greatest test of teachers'
    creativity
    illustrates a learning environment from the teachers' perspective
    Teacher takes the main
    responsibility in creating an
    appropriate learning
    environment
