It took a while until I understood the assignment/ask. I still wonder why. Maybe because “Learning environments” are, in my opinion, a difficult-to-handle concept that cannot be caught by the immediate. But on reflection, I realized that it could be so much more than physical or digital environments. I think it was there that I got stuck initially.
If one considers learning environments as a kind of culture, in an anthropological sense, then learning and teaching are contextualized in a necessary way. If we do not handle the discursive perspective (sorry for the use), I do not think we can fully understand the complicated process that learning and education constitute. I believe that we, who work as a university teacher and who try to familiarize ourselves with the mysteries of teaching, need to realize that even in the latest pedagogical research, it is still far before we understand what actually happens when learning is activated and what is a “learning environment”. Will we ever fully understand? I hope not! Perhaps it is also that it is precisely the unresolved mystery of learning that makes the task so attractive and stimulating.
