CLASSROOM ARRAGEMENT Why Class Arrangement Questions to consider Basic Principles Classroom Arrangement styles

Why classroom arrangement? The main cause of off-task behavior is classroom seating arrangement. (Bonus & Riordan, 1998). Room arrangement affects the learning process, student behavior, and student engagement. (Florman, 2003; Lackney & Jacobs, 2002; Proshansky & Wolfe, 1974; Richards, 2006; Strong-Wilson & Ellis, 2007; Susi, 1989; Weinstein, 1977). We need spaces for activities To make sure that we can monitor To iptimize the teacher role and students role To avoid the teacher centredness issues

Questions to consider when arranging classroom layout: Can I see the faces of every single student and can they see me? Can everyone see the board (if you're planning on using it)? Can the students see one another? Can I move around the room so that I can monitor effectively? Is the layout can facilitate the students’ activities? Is there any student with special needs that I have to facilitate?

Basic Principles of Classroom Arrangement Reduce congestion in high-traffic areas. Make sure that you can easily see all students. Make often-used teaching materials and student supplies easily accessible. Make sure that students can easily observe whole-class presentations.

Classroom Arrangement Styles Auditorium style Face-to-face style Off-set style Seminar style Cluster style

The most-often-seen classroom arrangements styles Think of the advantages and disadvantage students as the audience focusing their attention to teacher. Therefore, this seating arrangement tends to create teacher-centric lesson. The problem with this arrangement is some students are going to have to sit in the corners and in the back of the room. it can be really difficult to monitor. Row seating reduces talking. (Koneya, 1976; Ridling, 1994; Silverstein & Stang, 1976; Wannarka & Ruhl, 2008; Weinstein, 1979). Row seating impedes a teachers ability to walk between student desks and assess learning. (Weaver Dunne, 2001).

Variations of Classroom Seating Arrangements

Few facts about cluster seating It is ideal for socially facilitated learning. (Patton, Snell, Knight & Florman 2001). It promotes “innovation.” (Raviv, Raviv & Reisel, 1990). Students like each other more and communicate better when facing each other. (O’Hare, 1998; Bovard, 1951).
