El ambiente de aprendizaje es el espacio de interacción racionalmente estructurado por el maestro para modular el desarrollo de la personalidad de los alumnos en armonía con ciertos valores e ideales que la autoridad primaria reconoce como estructura ética de la sociedad.
Así como el poema es la creación concreta del poeta, podemos postular que el ambiente de aprendizaje es la obra, la creación concreta del maestro.
Fuentes bibliográficas originarias
DEWEY, 1915 → “In brief, the environment consists of those conditions that promote or hinder, stimulate or inhibit, the characteristic activities of a living being. Water is the environment of a fish because it is necessary to the fish's activities—to its life.” (Democracy and Education)
“The only way in which adults consciously control the kind of education which the immature get is by controlling the environment in which they act, and hence think and feel. We never educate directly, but indirectly by means of the environment. An intelligent home differs from an unintelligent one chiefly in that the habits of life and intercourse which prevail are chosen, or at least colored, by the thought of their bearing upon the development of children. But schools remain, of course, the typical instance of environments framed with express reference to influencing the mental and moral disposition of their members.” (p. 12)
