What
are two ways classroom design has changed over the past twenty years?
Children
can and do learn in places where they feel comfortable, it is
accomplished by having a classroom design that accommodates the
learners’ preferences.
The
classroom setting has changed over the past two decades regarding
academic and behavioral considerations. The physical arrangement of
desks and chairs in a classroom communicates the behaviors and
instructional accommodations for the population that occupies it.
Although things have changed regarding room design opportunities, the
way one was taught has impacted teaching for decades, because
oftentimes teachers teach the way they were taught.
About
twenty years ago, desks and bench-type seats were secured to the
floor, which did not provide for movement of them into different
configurations for, let’s say, small-group work. A section of the
room was built to accommodate coats and outerwear with closets. Most
often books were stored in either desk drawers or the desk top, which
lifted upward.
Nowadays,
when considering classroom design, educators can be concerned that
those in the room have a sense of security. They may feel cozy and
have ownership.
For
instance, now learners use one-person desk and teachers can perform
more activities such as pair work
or group work by arranging the learners in strategic places.
Consequently, educators can give their courses using advanced
technology ( computer, projector, educative softwares, internet
access, virtual classrooms and so on). What teachers have to do is
just to choose a suitable learning technique in
order for promoting a successful learning in the school community.
