A Supportive Classroom Environment Sample Clauses

A Supportive Classroom Environment. In order to create a supportive classroom environment, it is necessary for the instructor to create an environment where students feel safe to take risks. (Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 1991) This can be achieved by showing respect and support for individual student expression, encouraging students to take risks, to develop a personal connection with each student (is called ‘student-centered approach’, e.g. learn their names, ... ), encouraging them to ask questions, being open, predictable, showing interest in students. (Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx, 1999; Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx, 1991) However, it should be noted that this student-centered approach is more difficult to obtain in large classes. A supportive classroom environment can also be achieved if individuals feel that their presence is recognized and validated, even in large courses. (Xxxxxxx, 1986) This can simply be obtained by trying to learn some of the students’ their names, this will make the large class seem more personal. Other ways are: commend students if they asked an excellent question, adding some personal comments to some randomly selected exams or personally congratulating students who received the maximum score. These strategies will diminish defensiveness and increase participation and involvement in the course.
