I think a fertile learning environment is one in which teachers treat students as equals and accept and respect them as intellectual learners whose beliefs and opinions are given consideration , honored and appreciated. I also like working in a classroom where students and teachers interact and talk. I also view a fertile learning environment as an atmosphere that promotes academic freedom and encourages experimentation and originality. I feel like I have learned in an environment where students feel safe and supported, where individual needs and uniqueness are respected, especially in the LAC301 class. The intensive learning environment I experienced in this course catalyzed a fundamental shift in how I look at college education. Learning the benefits of a liberal arts education has changed the way I see the world. Furthermore, I understood that the LAC301 classroom offers both physical comfort and psychological safety in the learning environment. Issues like a structured classroom, comfortable chairs, and nearby bathrooms can make a huge difference in the quality and impact of the learning experience. I also like the way we do things in class. For example, I find time dedicated to discussion in class to be very valuable and important to my learning process. Since being at LAC 301, I have had a positive attitude toward education and a strong foundational foundation that I will use throughout my career at Marylhurst University. I come from a different culture where the education system comes with many negative aspects and is hard and stressful. The classrooms can accommodate large groups; a typical Sri Lankan college classroom can accommodate around fifty students, usually arranged in rows facing...... center of paper ...... it is important to find a balance between individual and collective learning activities in an educational environment. To promote learning, members must share their responsibility for creating an inspiring and successful community. Furthermore, the community should not use lectures to teach, but instead use Socratic formats that allow for the development of a dialogue between student and teacher. The exchange between students should be meaningful. Learning is facilitated when connections are created throughout the learning community to accomplish important work. Hectic work and meaningless social activities harm the learning community, just as Sri Lanka's education system appears inadequate and stressful. The interaction highlighted in the CAEL document seems to emphasize the best that can be achieved by employing both individual and group education.
