When I was heard the
word “climate variables” at
the first time had in my mind was "a symbol that has a changing value".
But, after the class, I can know that climate variable is climate of learning
process in classroom.
This week, the class learned about Climate variables in
Motivating Classroom. Climate variable is consisting of order
and safety, challenge, and success.
What is order and safety?
Based
on that we have discussions in MMSEL class, Order means that daily instruction
that have made with agreement between the teacher and students. And safety
means that a comfortable feeling of physical and emotional.
And what is challenge and success?
Success which is developing
learner self-efficacy, Challenge which is increasing perceptions of competence.
The materials made me reflecting when I
was in school. For Order and Safety, when I was in senior high school, our
school pressed us to be able good in english. When we learn in class and talk
with others we must use english. At that time, I did not feel enjoyable and
comfortable in this school. For Success, I reflected to myself and already
realized that everyone has different perspective of success, failure and goals
standard. For example, I have standard of success when I can achieve my dreams
and in my minds, failure is the things which almost success and it just still
need effort to make it goals. It is for me, perhaps others have own meaning.
For Challenge, I think it is like HOT
(higher order thingking) or meaningfull for students. HOT, higher order
thingking should be involved if teacher wants to give challanging task.
Meaningfull, it means that fun is actually ok. But the essence of learning dont
make it leave behind. Teacher should give students maningfull learning. I saw
my high school teacher as my challenging to study hard and prove to my teacher
that I can do well.
Overall,
our learning activity that day was so interesting, and so active. It can useful
for us as a candidate of teacher to learn climate variable.
