Assessing learning environment - How - which?
There are various approaches to assessing Learning Enivornment which includes trained observers through ethnographic & naturalistic inquiry, inventories(perceptions of students/teachers) and direct data collection(interview) . Instruments like WIHIC, using the Moos 3 scheme of assessing to assess the learning environment. Survey questions used not in its original but altered to suit the context without changing the essent of the questions. Bearing in mind that all the questions in the instrument had been tested, we need not reinvent the wheels. We were also briefly introduce to how to administer the survey. From the case study, we got a feel from the assessment of the learning environment report, revealing the climate of the school environment.
A survey instrument is a good instrument to gauge the current reality of an issue that we are concerned about. Data collection should include all the stake holders to get a more accurate results before administering any change efforts. Climate survey instrument is a tools for us to test our hypothesis or assumptions about our learning environment. Our assumption will guide the scale we choose and test with a survey administer before and after a learning experience.
In conclusion this session has been and eye opener to gain insight into assessing the learning environment as this is very important for us to reflect and review our practices.
