Environment Analysis

                 (The Effect of Classroom Environment on Student Learning )

Based on my reading that is about Environment Analysis  involves looking at the factors that will have a strong effect on decisions about the goals of the course, what to include in the course, and how to teach and assess it. These factors can arise from the learners, the teachers, and the teaching and learning situation. Environment analysis is also called “situation analysis” (Richards, 2001) or “constraints analysis”. A constraint can be positive in curriculum design. For example, a constraint could be that the teachers are all very highly trained and are able and willing to make their own class activities. This would have a major effect on curriculum design as much of the format and presentation work could be left to the teachers. In some models of curriculum design, environment analysis is included in needs analysis. This is the focus of situation analysis. Situation analysis is an analysis of factors in the context of a planned or present curriculum project that is made be political, social, economic, teacher, learner adoption or institutional. Situation analysis complememt

There are many things that can affect this classroom  environment. There are physical elements such as wall art, arrangement of desks, or resources. Also, there are intangible elements such as the energy of the classroom, the rules, or the sounds within the room. Each of these can impact a student’s focus and achievement in the class. They can also affect a teacher’s attitude in the class according to Ryan Hannah (2013). Included in each of these elements of the classroom is the emotional environment. The way in which a teacher organizes their class, or how they control it, will yield positive or negative consequences for their students. If a teacher is unmotivated or negative there will be a direct impact on the students within the classroom. Similarly, if a teacher is motivated and positive they will likely have a beneficial impact on their students as well. It is important for a teacher to understand this cause and effect in order to understand how to organize their classroom to create a better learning .

            In this paper, I will investigate the teacher’s attitude in the classroom. Having a positive attitude, which is choosing to approach difficult circumstances with a productive mindset, can benefit  on several levels. The Mayo Clinic states that a positive attitude can lower your stress level, which is good for your health. A positive attitude can also improve your relationships and change how your boss perceives both you and your teaching.The teacher have to have positive attitude in the classroom to make the students active and get energy in studying. The teacher lead the students to have positive hope, give appreciation, Gratitude, making students confidence and creating the Resilience. I have experience when I was senior high school, I have a teacher who always prepared anyting before teaching include the classroom management where each students had different seat in different meeting so everyday the students have new situation tha was not making us bored in the class, beside that the all students enthusiastic to join her class because not only, she had good management classroom but she always give the students motivation a lot and appreciation, and she was never underestimate their students. She has positive attitude to the students and all the students easy to understand their material and enjoy to join her class.

The research that the title relevant with teacher’s attitude  is the Effect of Teacher Attitude, Experience, and Background Knowledge on the use of inquiry Method teaching in the Elementary classroom. This research was conducted to see how much of a role teacher's attitudes towards science itself, and science instruction in particular, plays in deciding to use an inquiry approach to teaching science. Surveys concerning science background, science training and instruction, and teacher attitude towards science were sent to teachers currently in elementary classrooms teaching science (Cathleen Garcia, 2003 ). Others research that relevant is The Impact Of Teacher-Student Interaction On Student Motivation And Achievement with particular reference to study design  Tisome t. Nugent (2009, p. ii) Suggested uses for the study included the development of workshops for educators and administrators that may have a positive effect on the proven significance of the teacher-student relationship problem. The results suggest the need for teachers to be provided with appropriate resources and assistance to meet the needs of their students beyond academic instruction. Teaching effectiveness was found to mediate the effect of punishment on motivation while motivation mediated the effect of punitive strategies on achievement. Motivation was found to have the strongest effect on achievement. Beside teacher attitude and teacher motivation research that is relative with classroom environment is Influence Of Effective Classroom-Management & Positive Teaching District  that found about offers practical information for primary teachers to become more knowledge able, skilled and effective

in their work. Aspects of positive teaching and learning are explored. Innovative methods for transforming common classroom management struggles into opportunities for positive change and for changing negative behaviors into positive interactions are explained. Classroom climate, expectations, motivation, and methods for constructive reflection on mistakes are investigated to support teachers in developing a positive learning environment, code of conducted by (Katharina Sieberer-Nagler, 2015). This positive attitude helps the teachers to be role model for the future generation of students. Base on the research that is The Effects Of Teachers’ Attitudes On Students’ Personality And Performance, the most important findings of the research evidenced that teachers’ positive attitudes have positively influence students’ personality as well as their life performances. Based on these findings teachers’ role in lifespan education as beyond a simple knowledge transformation is discussed (Melis Seray Ozden at all).
