In my experience, these principles can be applied in most learning contexts, including settings of conflict and displacement. Even when resources are limited, simple strategies like group activities, games, and interactive learning can still be used. In fact, these principles are very important in difficult contexts because they help create a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for learners who may be facing stress or challenges in their lives.
However, there can be some difficulties when applying these principles. For example, some students may feel shy or uncomfortable participating in group activities, especially if they have experienced trauma. In addition, large class sizes or limited materials can make it harder to involve every learner.
To address these challenges, I try to use simple and flexible activities that do not require many resources. I also give students time to feel comfortable and do not force them to participate immediately. Encouraging a respectful and supportive classroom atmosphere helps students gradually become more confident and willing to join activities.
Overall, I believe these principles are useful and can be adapted to different contexts with careful planning and understanding of learners’ needs.
