Introduction
The essay includes the resources needed in construction of effective design and also the processes used in
integrating STEM concepts in learning. The last part analyses the role of adult and international teaching
strategies in learning. In order to create a classroom environment, the existing physical space must be
considered. Every possible area of the entire classroom must be designed to create a surrounding which
literally encourages both participation and learning. This essay thus discusses these aspects in detail
Discussion
The designed learning area with photographic evidence attached above shows the incorporation of a play based
learning area and focuses on the integration of Math STEM by the use of the numeric carpet on the flooring
and abacus toy included in this design, it provokes the curiosity of the children towards counting and horns
their numeric skills.
The play area also integrates some environmental elements with the use of photographic illustration of plants
and animals this provokes the learning of the children towards gaining more insights towards environmental
factors and elements.
In order to integrate the children to new concepts; the design I created also provided the necessary space for
gadgets that will help them learn through online. Use of computers and laptops will help in integrating the
learning learned from the class. The children will access online sources which will reveal s some elementally
concepts necessary for academic development for the children. Also, making good use of electronic devices
when teaching children will help in imparting technological skills to children (Gertler et al., 2014). Introducing
children to new websites that will help children to observe some phenomena.
The learning area is in form of a rectangular location of 4 meters by 3 meters. The walls are covered with
appealing paints that have different pictures supporting the STEM content.
