Classroom Design

Classroom Management can be effected by how the classroom is designed. This can be as simple as how the desks are arranged in the room which effects the proximity or movement of the teacher as well as changes the red, green, and yellow zones in the room. These all can contribute to the overall behavior of students in the classroom. My research follows the question ‘How does the design of a classroom affects the overall behavior of students?’ and references different designs that are listed in Fred Jones’ book Tools For ‘Teaching: Discipline, Instruction, and Motivation’. Jones will also be referenced in regards to proximity as well as red, green, and yellow zones.

This following research was from a case study for EDUC 370, Adolescent Development. In the study, we looked at the lives of a set of identical twin girls named Lynn and Nicole. The purpose of the research was to measure where they landed cognitively, physically, socially, identity wise, and morally developmentally and measure where they landed next to each other as well as where statistics say they should have landed. To help measure these check points, a series of developmental tests were conducted as well as a test to see what sort of learning style each of the twins have. The twins are nine years old and are currently in the fourth grade. The presentation will discuss further the findings of the research as well as recommendations or suggests that we might have for the twins.
