SHOW Your Learning Artifacts


My Personal Illustration of an Effective School Environment

Present an illustration showing your


idea of an effective school
environment through any of these:

 A Descriptive Paragraph
 A Photo Essay
 A Sketch or Drawing
 A Poem or Song

An effective School Environment is a place where discrimination and competition


does not exist. It respects, values individual differences and cultural diversity. Also,
have a sense of belonging and being part of a school. It has effective leaders, teacher,
and environment. Leaders knows how to listen to his/her inferior and respects one’s
opinion. Teachers offer support to the learners, care, and they are filled with empathy.
The environment offers a safe environment in which the learners develop academically,
emotionally, and behaviorally at the same time developing relationship with other
learners. There are different facilities to offer to all the diversified learners that an
institution has. Various organizations are form to hone their skills and give them
recognitions for their skills.
SHOW Your Learning Artifacts
Which is your favorite theory of development. How can this guide you as a future
teacher? Clip some readings about this theory and paste them here.
Among all the theories of development, I would say that Vygotsky’s
Sociocultural Theory stands out for me because growing up I always wanted to involve
myself in learning. I wanted to experience what learning is through hands-on activities,
and I also believe that experience is the best long-term teacher. I believed that this
theory would help me as a future educator in creating learning opportunities that will
allow them to experience it. Moreover, this theory will guide me in creating an effective
learning environment through interacting with others (such as parents, and peers) and
by understanding their cultural backgrounds. In addition, this theory will also help
educate the parents that their parental involvement affects the social progress of their
child.

Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory


This theory stresses the interaction between developing people and the
culture in which they live. Sociocultural theory also suggests that human
learning is largely a social process. Like Piaget, Vygotsky believed that
children learn actively and through hands-on experiences.

His sociocultural theory also suggested that parents, caregivers, peers and


the culture at large were responsible for developing higher-order functions.
In Vygotsky's view, learning is an inherently social process. Through
interacting with others, learning becomes integrated into an individual's
understanding of the world.

This child development theory also introduced the concept of the zone of
proximal development, which is the gap between what a person can do with
help and what they can do on their own. It is with the help of more
knowledgeable others that people are able to progressively learn and
increase their skills and scope of understanding.
