Ways I might create a learning environment conductive to learning:
1. Assign tasks that are intellectually challenging and meaningful.
2. Create a community of learners environment where everybody feels comfortable to give opinions and ask questions and make mistakes.
3. Create an atmosphere that I (the teacher) am on your side in learning this stuff. We both have the same goals.
I like the idea where the student is free to make mistakes. It always allows the free flow of thought when people are not scared to mess up. Free flow can promote creativity and that is thought.
