Learning Environment Observation
Discuss the Results of the ELEOT
For the observed classroom, all scores from the measured environments ranged above 3. Looking at the 7 environments, Equitable Learning Environment had a score of 3; High Expectations Environment score of 3; Supportive Learning Environment score of 4; Active Learning Environment score of 4; Progress Monitoring and Feedback Environment score of 3; Well-Managed Learning Environment score of 4; while Digital Learning Environment had a score of 3.3.
From the observation, it was evident that students satisfactorily experienced differentiated learning to meet their personal needs in the classroom environment. There was also evidence of collaboration between learners and their peers during the completion of assignment and other classroom activities. Instructors also provided individualized tutoring to students and learners received direct instruction from instructors. There was also evidence of learner engagement in the classroom environment where the instructor engaged students using creative technologies such as using computer programs aligned with blood pressure cuffs. Students took blood pressure from each other and determined a baseline on the computer indicating use of technologies during learning NUR-646E Learning Environment Observation.
In addition, students supported each other when necessary in the class and there was the use of technology during collaboration, problem-solving, and communication in the classroom setting. The instructor used innovative strategies and best practices to support student engagement along with interactive learning.
How the Instructor Maintained and Managed the Learning Environment
The instructor maintained and managed the learning environment by setting expectations for the students. Before the class session started, the instructor communicated to students what was expected of them and the learning objectives of that session. In addition, the instructor would motivate students through praise. Motivating students to learn encourages students to complete academic tasks and other classwork assignments. In addition, the instructor would monitor the students by watching their behavior and intervening to address any sign of confusion and inattention for the students. Monitoring allowed the instructor to address any needs of the students during learning. Monitoring involved identifying the stuck students, and those who need redirection and any correction.
Various Engagement and Learning Strategies
To keep learners engaged, one of the tools that can be used is an LMS tool. An LMS tool creates courses that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. The tool can enable students to access learning content on mobile devices and provides learners what they need most and hence it is a powerful engagement strategy for learners (Lee et al, 2018).
Another engagement strategy is the use of open communication channels. The communication channels should be designed in a manner that enables feedback and sharing of opinions, as well as open discussions among leaners and with the instructor as well. An important strategy that an instructor can use to promote learner engagement in an online forum includes group discussions and peer spaces where questions can be asked.
Implementing the Strategies in the Classroom NUR-646E Learning Environment Observation
Open communication can be integrated into learning using mobile technologies to design online tutorials and create online discussion forums. In addition, I can form group discussions in the classroom to ensure attentiveness of all students through a whole-group focus (Froneman et al, 2016).
