INTRODUCTION
Classroom dynamic involves the interaction between teachers and students who have
a purpose to learn. It is also a positive classroom atmosphere so that students are able to feel
comfortable in the communication and learning process with the teacher and students. This
report aims to analyse the impact of class dynamics on learning (Muls and et.al., 2019). It is
necessary to understand that class dynamic is found to be a very important role in the success
and growth of the individual. This report also involves the collaboration and learning between
group members which is very important in order to achieve the group goals. In addition to
this, the report also discusses some motivational approaches for engaging group learning and
some behaviour management solutions which is necessary to use in the classroom.
MAIN BODY
TASK 2
Examine the impact of class dynamics on learning.
It is very important to understand those class dynamics is providing a direct or
indirect impact on learning. Classroom dynamics include imagination, emotions and student
behaviour. In addition to this, it also involves student interactions and the way teachers
present their academic materials. The classroom dynamic is very helpful in order to create a
positive classroom culture. It is found that group dynamics is providing an impact on
learning. For example, if it is found that there is a dysfunctional group dynamic so the
learning gets negatively impacted and it includes leadership problems, free riding,
unaddressed conflict and poor time management (How Group Dynamics Affect Student
Learning, 2019). It is very important to tackle these types of problems. If it is identified that a
teacher organising a collaborative project in the classroom then it is very important for them
to make sure that the needs and wants of each individual because it is not necessary that
every student get happy with the material of the teacher. It is identified that if the classroom
dynamic is not effective then it provides and negative impact on the learning as it creates
conflicts in the learning process.
Disorganized spaces create feelings of anxiety and stress which result in a negative
impact on the learning (Han, 2020). So that's why the resource suggested that it is very
important to focus on motivation in the learning by making the study space very clean and
tidy. Classroom dynamic involves the student behaviour which needs to be very positive for

the learning program because if students are not taking interest in the classroom then the
learning is not possible.
Facilitate collaboration and learning between group members.
It is important to understand that collaboration and learning is very important for the
group members as it helps in achieving the goals and objective of learners. This is the reason
that the education sector needs to facilitate collaboration and learning between group
members so that they are able to achieve their ultimate objective. For that purpose, some
important strategies are mentioned below:
 Establishing goals plays a very important role in order to facilitate collaboration and
learning in the group (Nunes, and et.al., 2021). Establishing of group course is able to
keep the group on task and also includes an unambiguous purpose. It is very
important that before beginning any assignment learners should get clearly define
goals and objectives for saving their time.
 Building trust and promoting open communication also facilitate collaboration and
effective learning among the group members. It is found that successful interpersonal
communication should exist in the team which helps to build trust. It is really very
helpful in order to deal the emotional issues and also deal with interpersonal
problems. Open communication is found to be a key in the studies that helps to
provide collaborative learning.
 It is important to create group rules, especially in larger tasks which help to save the
timing. One important example of a classroom in the science lab (Sadikin,
Lutfiansyach, and Sukmana, 2019). It is the right of students to choose their roles and
maybe get the alternative role in sections.
 When individuals in a group are considering the learning process itself as a part of the
assessment then it facilitates effective collaborative learning and also helps in
developing children's social as well as interpersonal skills.
Use motivational approaches to engage group learning.
A group task or goal can be achieved only when each individual in a group is
engaging in group learning. Sometimes it is identified that people are not taking any interest
in the group learning because they maybe have an issue with another point of view and
opinions. This is the main reason that it is crucial to use some motivational approaches which

help them to engage in group learning. Some motivational approaches a mentioned below
that help the learner in order to engage and motivate in the group learning:
 Making learning convenient is found to be one of the most important ways which help
learners to engage and motivate to involve in group learning.
 One important thing that should be considered in the mind of teachers is that they
need to give clear and written instruction to each and every number in the group so
that they are able to engage in group learning (Forsyth, 2018). It is identified that
unclear goals and objectives maybe create issues in group learning.
 It is also found that learners get an allowance for fun in group learning because if they
are able to feel fun then they are automatically motivated toward group learning. It is
important to make sure that group learning should not be so serious and strict.
 This is necessary to understand for all teachers that they should provide freedom to
the students or learners for providing their feedback. It is very helpful in to share their
views and opinions in the group so that they are able to get motivated or encouraged
for group learning.
 One thing that should be considered is to give tasks according to the student's ability.
There are many cases identified in which the educator is giving the task which is
above student ability which may be creating many problems and discourage students
that they are not able to do work in a group learning (Vriesema, and McCaslin, 2020).
If teachers they do that then they should always be ready for providing support and
instruction on how to perform those task which is above the student's ability.
Evaluate behaviour management solutions utilised in class.
Every person knows that in the classroom every individual has not the necessary same
behaviour as it may differ from person to person. Due to this reason, they may be faces many
issues regarding group learning because every person has different nature which creates
problems. This is the reason that teachers should use some behaviour management solutions
on strategy in the classroom which helps to manage the behaviour of every individual. Some
of them are mentioned below:
 The first and form most management solution is maintaining a routine. It is found
with the most important tool which helps to establish expectations and guidelines for
individual behaviour (Bøgelund, and Nørgaard, 2020). It helps to ensure to the

students that what will be coming in the next so they will not get disturbed and they
make their behaviour accordingly.
 One important solution is setting rules together with the students. It is also just like a
routine which helps to improve the behaviour of students. In some cases, it is found
that if the classroom teachers are static any rules then it is found at the class maybe
reject them. This is the main reason that they need to have an audience to set the rules
for the class.
 Using positive language is also playing a very important role because it is found that
negative language has a way of reinforcing the wrong behaviour of students or
learners. It is very crucial for the Teachers that did need to use positive language
which helps them to cope with the challenges of behaviour (Dobreva, and Dobrev, ).
For instance, it is necessary to see that "can we all pay attention and focus, please,"
instead of "stop throwing those paper aeroplanes".
 It is also very important for every individual that they need to develop a relationship
with the students. It is very helpful to engage in group learning and also helps to
manage their behaviour. It helps to identify and analyse the behaviour of students so
that teachers can find ways to handle them.
TASK 3
Explain how to support learner’s rights in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion
Equality and diversity is referring to promoting and accepting the difference between
the people. Equality is the giving opportunity to all learners in the education sector. Equality
ensures being treated fairly and equally in case of race, age, disability, sexual orientation, or
religion. Diversity is all about respecting and recognising differences in all-inclusive
atmospheres. Promoting diversity and equality in the education sector both are important for
teachers and students as well as. Equality and diversity aim to create atmo0shpeher for the
student and teacher were no individual differences available and give equal chances to every
student in the classroom (Saqr, and et.al., 2020). There is no discrimination available of race,
gender, or age in the classroom. Equality is giving chance to every student to perform various
tasks in the education sector and no discrimination is available of the student's colour, age, or
religion. Inclusive education is giving the right to the learner to perform various tasks avail
of the opportunity given by the education sector. Inclusive education gives equal opportunity
to the student they can participate in their community. Inclusive education is giving a sense of

belonging and student are prepared for a better life. Inclusive education promotes equality
and education in the classroom through various activities.
This education gives attention to the student's needs. This education also set the
standard of conduct for the student to learn various thing forms the activities and diversity
allow teacher and student to work collaboratively in a diverse group. Diversity is giving the
chance for creativity and innovation. Students learn from their friends because of the diverse
group and the teacher also perceives the experience of the student. Inclusive educative
promotes equality and diversity through the themed week it gives awareness of the religion,
food, and play games (Fioravanti, and et.al., 2018). This type of opportunity to give
awareness to the student they come together learn various thing form the inclusive education
it also gives the equal right to learner various thing from the education and any person no
discriminate the student. Inclusive education gives equal rights to students and teachers.
These types of education help avoid stereotype resources.
Describe how to minimize risks to the security, safety, health, and wellbeing of learners in
groups
In the education sector it is the biggest responsibility of the management and teacher
to minimize the risk of security and give the people well-being to the learner. it very essential
for the learner to learn various things for the school but it happens when the environment is
very secure and students are free to learn there is no pressure on the learner. Safety and well-
being is playing a very important role in the school because supporting students to make
healthy lifestyle choices it gives an impact on the well-being and health of the student (Trach,
Lee, and Hymel, 2018). The childhood and adolescent period is the toughest time of the
development and long term attitude. School management uses various ways to minimise the
risk of security and improve the well-being of the learner because good well-being is the
future of the learner. The learner learns various skills and uses them in practical life.
 The movement around the classroom is essential for the learner because they know
the hiring authority is keep watching their activity and they reduce the risk of security
and safety. The management assesses internal flooring is in good condition and also
there is no trailing the electrical cables. Furniture in the classroom is in a good way
and equipment, the projector is standing suitably.
 The staff of the education sector is a good grasp of manual handling. Manual
handling comes into force when a heavy object is available. Electric equipment is

maintained by the management to prevent danger. The management also notices the
all-electric item used in their classroom is all well maintained so they reduce the risk
of security. Ventilation and heating are properly available in the classroom it reduces
the risk of health because proper ventilation and heating give positivity in the
classroom (Demosthenous, Panaoura and Eteokleous, 2020). An education provider is
providing the security, health and proper well-being for the staff and learner. This
gives the measured impact on the learner they learn. Proper management reduces the
risk of security and provides health and proper well-being to the learner.
Explain how to manage confidentiality in relation to group information exchange
Privacy, confidence and security play a crucial role in the education sector because
the education system is need data to secure for their student. When considering privacy
teacher remembers that students' personal information is only for students so they should
keep it private. This information includes the assessment, result, grade, and demographic
information. These are some various confidential files in the education that should be kept in
the private. Student and their parents trust the teacher because the teacher kept the
information in the private (Hmelo‐Silver, Bridges, and McKeown, 2019). This is necessary
for the student and as well as the school's reputation. Teacher gathers all data in a private
place so they never give this information to any person. Now, this day many education
institutes reveal papers before the examination which reduces the privacy link and give a
negative impact on the student's trust. Every detail wherever linked with student paper and
their result and also the demographic information teacher kept in the private because it holds
all administration reputation student and parent trust. The teacher uses various cloud-based
drives which gather confidential data. The data is safe in the drive and useful for the
administration. The confidentiality of the data administration plays a very crucial role in the
education sector.
They give the drive and other material just like locker and technology-based resources
for collecting data. They gather data in various ways but store it in a private place.
Administration set the management to gather data or secretly keep data. The education sector
uses these tools the secure the data for the welfare of the student. Confidentiality is also
useful for the education institution it keeps privacy and also holds the school's reputation. The
confidentially is hold student results and gives the measured impact on the student's future.
The education sector is very important for the student they confidentially keep their result so
they increase students future life.

Explain how to maintain records in accordance with legislator and organizational procedures
It is necessary to understand that in the education sector, it is founded each
organisation is always focusing on maintaining a record of their students and teachers. They
are recording every activity of students for a long term period so that if they found any
difficulty and problem in future so organisation or institution can assist (Webb, and et.al.,
2019). It is analysed that each organisation in the education sector is maintaining the records
and it is a must for them to maintain records according to the legislator and organisational
procedures. Some important ways are mentioned below that help to explain how an
organisation is maintaining the record according to with organisational and legislators of
procedures:
 The first and foremost step is to set up a record retention schedule. For saving time
and money, it is important to establish a record retention schedule that involves the
implementation of accountable record policies.
 The next step is that the record management program must be supporting procedures
and policies in terms operationally as well as legally. It is necessary to consider that
procedures and policies should set the standard of compliant records. It also needs to
be communicated and applied in the organisation. In this process uniformity and
consistency are playing an important role.
 The third step is accessibility, storage and indexing. It is important to make sure that
one important contributing factor to successful record management is the ability to
access the information (Oyefusi, 2022). That means whenever any person or a student
requires any information related to them then the organisation in the education sector
must have the ability to access that information in less time and period. For that
purpose, we can be used many tools and Technology which help to make this process
easy.
 The fourth step is compliance auditing. It is concerned with the checking of recorded
data or information so that any individual cannot play any game with the information
of students as it is confidential for them.
 The last step is the disposal of obsolete records. It is necessary to make sure that the
disposal of obsolete records should be coding to the right retention policy because
there is a fixed timing which needs to be obeyed by every organisation for
maintaining the records.

TASK 4
Explain the tools that can be used to assess classroom dynamics
The main purpose of classroom assessment is to empower both students as well as
teachers for improving the quality of learning in the classroom. There are some important
classroom assessment tools on mention below:
 Diagnostic assessment: This type of assessment can be known as pre-assessment
which create for assessing students' weaknesses and strengths. It is used to identify
the current knowledge and misconceptions about a particular topic (Veine, and et.al.,
2020). It can be conducted with the help of self-assessment, interviews and
observations.
 The formative assessment is found to be the first and foremost type and is used for
assessing student performance. It occurs at regular intervals and is also used for
monitoring the student learning so that teachers can provide feedback to the student
on their growth and development. It can be done in many ways in which students'
observation, homework, peer reviews, visual thinking strategies, quiz, informal
presentations and feedback are found with the most important tools for formative
assessment.
 A summative assessment is conducted at the end of instruction to measure the
student's achievement. To conduct a summative assessment, a teacher requires some
important tools as they conducted the summative assessment with the help of taking
mid examinations and end University examinations.
 Other important tools: It includes google home which is found to be important for
surveying. Other important tools include class flow, spiral, recap, quizzes, near pod,
etc.
It is found that there are many tools and techniques which are necessary to use in
order to perform the assessment. It includes observation, testing, self-reporting, check lists,
rating scale, etc. it is also found that focus groups, surveys, portfolios, structured interviews,
etc. are very helpful for performing the assessment. In teaching, it is necessary to understand
that education can be become effective with the help of using tools and techniques. These
tools are very important for the purpose of assessing classroom dynamics. It is necessary
because the classroom has including many different cultural background people. So it
becomes very hard to analyse their learning styles. That’s why these tools are necessary to
use.

Explain how to use peer observation, student feedback and recordings
Peer observation, feedback and recordings are playing a very important role in order
to analyse the performances of teachers. Peer observation is used for the purpose of observing
teaching methods and techniques which assists in sharing the best practice. It also build
awareness about the impact of own teaching on classroom. Feedbacks are also playing an
important role as it provide the guidance and information to the teachers about the student’s
performance. It is important for teachers to understand and analyse their own performance so
that they are able to provide effective learning to the students. It is identified that sometimes
students are not satisfied with the learning style of the teacher so that's why it is important to
get real reviews for the purpose of improving the learning style of teachers. It can be possible
with the help of peer observations, student feedback and recordings.
 Observation is found to be a method in which a teacher observes the performance of
another teacher in order to develop their classroom practice.
 It is necessary to understand that student feedback is playing a very important role in
order to know the real performance of teachers.
 Recordings help to get an analysis of performances even if they are not present in
front of the students when they are given feedback. Recordings can be used even after
the feedback as they can be excess anytime by teachers.
CONCLUSION
It can be concluded from the above discussion that every day the importance of
learning and teaching is increasing. In teaching, it is analysed that group learning is playing a
very important role in order to meet the individual needs and wants. But it is analysed that
teachers should understand the role of group dynamics because each learner is not necessarily
agreed with the other views and opinions so it may be created many issues and conflicts. This
report also included some motivational approaches which help to engage group learning and
also included some ways that facilitate collaboration and learning and group members. In
addition to this, it also discussed the ways which help to minimise the risk of safety, security
and health of learners in a group. It is also analysed that it is important to use some tools and
techniques which help to assess classroom dynamics so that teachers are able to find the
solutions if any problem occurred.
