psychological foundation, the teachers were facilitators.

During the classroom observation, the successful learning

3.5.2. Rousseau: The right environment and guidance will
help children to learn

Rousseau (30) concentrated the student's attention on those
matters in which he∕she may be expected to show interest
and knowledge. In creating the theory-practice model, the
researcher turned reflexively on the classrooms which were
favoured learning environments for Anglo-Indians. The
enduring lesson is that the child does need the right
environment and does need guidance in order to learn.
During the successful classroom observations, Anglo-Indian
children enjoyed practical activities and displayed skills
in Indian languages and an understanding of Indian culture.

3.5.3. Pestalozzi:    Practical skill and theoretical

knowledge based on observation

The researcher observed classroom teaching. Children
successfully discovered practical skills and found
theoretical knowledge in just three favoured learning
environments. In these three classes, small group learning
was encouraged, in which the tone was not that of learners,
but in which children

... wished, tried, persevered, succeeded and
they laughed. (31)
