environment.

space and a cognitive or psychological space.

environment conducive to concentration, study, and learning is more than having
attractive, stimulating sights, relaxing sounds, and good ventilation. It is
creating a place where all feel comfortable and at ease, a place where the
surroundings are neat and orderly. It is a place where there is mutual respect
in a friendly, non-threatening atmosphere.
Teachers must also consider the cognitive space necessary for a
learning environment. This cognitive space is based upon the expectation’s
teachers set for students in the classroom and the process of creating a
motivational climate.
