Learning environment refers to the diverse physical locations, contexts, and cultures in which students learn.
Since students may learn in a wide variety of settings, such as outside of school locations and outdoor environments, the term is often used as a more accurate or preferred alternative to classroom, which has more limited and traditional connotations as for example: a room with rows of desks and a chalkboard.

The term also encompasses the culture of a school or class, its presiding ethos and characteristics, including how individuals interact with and treat one another, as well as the ways in which teachers may organize an educational setting to facilitate learning, for example:

By conducting classes in relevant natural ecosystems, grouping desks in specific ways, decorating the walls with learning materials, or utilizing audio, visual, and digital technologies. And because the qualities and characteristics of a learning environment are determined by a wide variety of factors, school policies, governance structures, and other features may also be considered elements of a “learning environment.”

Educators may also argue that learning environments have both a direct and indirect influence on student learning, including their engagement in what is being taught, their motivation to learn, and their sense of well-being, belonging, and personal safety. For example, learning environments filled with sunlight and stimulating educational materials would likely be considered more conducive to learning than drab spaces without windows or decoration, as would schools with fewer incidences of misbehavior, disorder, bullying, and illegal activity.

Evaluation and Analysis of Need and Preferences

There are two kinds of evaluation that be kept in mind in every class, and they are: Formative and summative.

Formative Evaluation.
Evaluation takes place over the life of the activity and the results help to shape the course over its lifetime. Formative assessment is normally carried out at intervals and will consist of a series of 'mini-assessments'.

ü  Formative evaluation.

ü  Identify student performance

ü  Develop new activities for students

ü  Helping teachers identify the bridge

ü  Implementing new techniques.

ü  Students continually learn new things.

Summative evaluation.
takes place at the end of an activity and therefore has no bearing on that version of the activity. Its purpose is to assess the impact and provide information that can be fed into repeat releases or related activities. Summative assessment is valuable for long-term courses.

ü  Summative evaluation.

ü  Impact of a learning program

ü  Final exam.

ü  Standardized exams.

ü  Partial exams.

ü  Teachers need to evaluate to measure results and assess their impact.

Teachers must evaluate to disseminate the results, that is, inform the interested parties of the result to make future plans and initiatives.

Teachers must develop some rubrics for mind maps, timelines, graphic organizers, etc.

When teachers evaluate, they have to bear in mind that it is important to ask questions in order to be objective in the evaluation.

For example:
•         Did the learning activity engage your attention?

•         Are the visual components attractive to the eyes?

•         Is he well organized and following homework instructions?

•         It's easy to understand?

•         Does it have the appropriate language and organization of content?

•         Are the ideas well structured?

•         Is the learning activity understandable?

                            Physical Resources

# data[].attributes.body
Physical resources are those tools that makes the environment more atractive to students to help their learning process. According to Akinsanya,  (2010),  "added  that  educational  resources  are  important  because  the  goal  of  any  school

depends on  adequate supply  and utilization  of physical  and material resources  among others  as they

enhance proper teaching and learning" (p.15). Also, the physical resources might determine the the success or failure in the teaching learning process.

Physical resources are:
-Chairs
-Desks
-Floors
-Rooms
-Furniture
-Buildings, etc.

According to Encyclopedia of Education (2012) the physical reources are:
-Mechanical
-Plumbing
-Electrical
-Security

Physical resources are considered as didactic materials such as:
-books
-charts
-computers
-learning activities
-libraries
-laboratories, etc.

The physical resources have the following characteristics:
-Adequacy
-Safety
-Coordination
-Efficiency and Unity
-Beauty
-Adaptability
-Economy
-Preparing improvements

Importance of Physical Resources in Educational System:
-It creates conducive environment for teaching and learning.
-It motivates the school teachers in the execution of their duties.
-It enhances the activities of teaching and learning.
-It helps in the actualization of educational goals through learner’s and teachers’ high performance.

On the other hand, teachers must consider some constraints that they have to face and they are:
-Insufficient funding
-Lack of storage space
-Insufficient teachers
-Delays in the disposal
