| description | To establish an ideal classroom environment, multiple educational factors and techniques need to be implemented. Some of those key aspects of building an ideal learning environment include students’ educational needs, language proficiency, and motivation. Also, instructors and students usually have differing perspectives regarding this matter. Both perspectives need to be considered when trying to achieve an ideal learning environment. The purpose of our research was to bridge the gap between what students consider as an effective learning environment that meets their educational needs and teachers who already implemented pedagogical and instructional methods. An online survey was shared with 104 TIU undergraduate students, and interviews were held with university teachers to gain their perspectives regarding an ideal classroom environment. Results showed that students and educators’ thoughts regarding the necessary teaching methods in class did not align with each other. Also, some challenges faced by the two parties included students’ adherence to memorization. Both parties, however, emphasized the importance of holding extracurricular activities. This research will benefit students, teachers, as well as university faculty members, and administrative officials in general in contributing to an effective learning environment in the university context. |
