Question

A German pedagogue coined a term used in many countries to describe learning spaces where young learners are taught using playful methods. Which term did he coin?

Answer 1

Answer:

The term learning environment can refer to an educational approach, cultural context, or physical setting in which teaching and learning occur. The term is commonly used as a more definitive alternative to "classroom",[1] but it typically refers to the context of educational philosophy or knowledge experienced by the student and may also encompass a variety of learning cultures—its presiding ethos and characteristics, how individuals interact, governing structures, and philosophy. In a societal sense, learning environment may refer to the culture of the population it serves and of their location. Learning environments are highly diverse in use, learning styles, organization, and educational institution. The culture and context of a place or organization includes such factors as a way of thinking, behaving, or working, also known as organizational culture.[2] For a learning environment such as an educational institution, it also includes such factors as operational characteristics of the instructors, instructional group, or institution; the philosophy or knowledge experienced by the student and may also encompass a variety of learning cultures—its presiding ethos and characteristics, how individuals interact, governing structures, and philosophy in learning styles and pedagogies used; and the societal culture of where the learning is occurring. Although physical environments do not determine educational activities, there is evidence of a relationship between school settings and the activities that take place there.[3]

Answer 2

The term is Kindergarten.

• The word school refers to a place of leisure, where the kids can learn and grow.
• It also refers to a place, where to a group to whom lectures are given.
• The German term was kindergarten, which literally meant youngster's garden.
• It was generally used metaphorically to denote a place where children can grow, and learn playful methods in a natural way.
