Learning Environment...

A learning environment is an atmosphere that encourages learning and is where the student is most comfortable in exploring the knowledge around them. This environment can be effected by a number of different influences. The resources an individual and the social and cultural surrounding all affect the students learning environment as well as their emotional well-being and their motivation to learner (The Glossary of Education Reforms, 2013). It is seen as a give and take situation as the learning environment can affect the learner and the learner can effect the learning environment (OECD, 2010).  
Learning can take place anywhere and at any time (The Glossary of Education Reforms, 2013), this means that there is no set place for a learning environment and that it can be anywhere and looks like whatever the learner want and needs it to be to learn effectively. There are settings where learning is encouraged more than others for example museums and libraries. The learning environment is important as it encourages the student to work harder, longer and more efficiently when they are in the right environment.
