Furniture: Is all furniture inside the classroom in good repair and suitable for the size of the user. This will ensure that pupils are able to sit comfortable when working , maintain good postures and are not hunched over small tables. Permanent fixtures need to be taken into account, are they in good condition and securely fastened, eg cupboards, display boards, shelving. Hot surfaces such as radiators also need to be protected where necessary, to prevent the risk of burns to pupils.

7. Lack of learning motivation and low levels of attention: It may cause problems if one or more of class have a short attention span and/or lack of motivation to learn. Help to prevent this by make lessons interesting & relevant; increase student involvement & interaction. Include multiple sources of learning - multi-sensory, practicals, field trips, hands on, project work, activities.

The classroom is large, colorful, bright and well lit. It is divided in six parts. The room has two windows and one exit door. When entering the room 26,

In addition to individual student PC’s, there are 15 traditional student desks that are used for discussion areas and for students to use when not on the PC. Some students find it more

They require a variety of supports, such as homework assistance, as they progress through the school curriculum. A large number of students in the classroom are Polish and they come from upper class families. The physical arrangement of the room is similar to a traditional classroom, but instead of single desks she uses rows to foster collaboration between students. For instance, the teacher has her desk to the right of the room with two steps of separation from the students. There are six rows in total containing three seats in each row. The space allows the teacher to walk freely throughout the classroom and give each student individualized attention. In addition, the general education teacher makes sure to label folders, books and testing material with student names. There are two additional assistant teachers in the classroom including myself. We provide assistance to the general education teacher on different days, but work collaboratively when

The classroom has a maximum capacity of 10 students. However, currently there are only five students in the classroom at a time. The classroom contains a large horseshoe shaped table, which allows the teacher to work individually with each student at their desk. There is a reading area in the corner of the classroom for the students to use when they need to relax. The walls in the classroom are not decorated nor are there any unnecessary posters the minimal amount of decorations is required by the district. The empty walls help to eliminate student

The atmosphere was more silent than downstairs. However, unlike the upstairs, the downstairs students looked more freely talked with their friends and received help from them when they were stuck on particular problems. In the Remsen hall, I observed students in my lecture and lab class. Since the lecture is a huge class, many students tried to sit beside their friends. However, the students who sat by themselves tended to have seats in row at the back of the classroom. After the class started, a lot of students typed the important thing on the slides by their laptop. Some of them took pictures of the slides using their phone. In the lab class, students tended to have more interaction with each other even though the experiment was conducted separately since the class is much smaller than the lecture. They easily talked to other students about the experiment and moreover they tried to help each other to complete the lab procedure correctly. After the lab class, I also looked around the chemistry office. There was a person who came to declare her major and another person who submitted the late lab report.

The author cited sources from studies that looked at how classroom decorations can distract students while they are learning. She said that students need to concentrate on the teaching and the teacher. That the over decoration of classrooms have an effect on how well students are able to concentrate on the task at hand, and teachers need to cut down on how much they decorate. She also mentioned

First, the environment in which learning takes place should be appealing. Regardless of the size of the room--whether small or overcrowded--there are a number of ways to create an

The classroom should be set up in a manner which is age and grade appropriate for the level of the

On the academic side an ideal college should have two kinds of rooms: lecture-rooms and tutorial rooms. Lecture-rooms should be large enough to accommodate even two to three hundred students without crowding. In these days of amplifiers, large classes should offer no real difficulty. Only three must be plenty of light and air to prevent stuffiness. The acoustic arrangements must be such as to put no undue strain on a lecturer’s voice. Tutorial rooms should be spacious enough to accommodate small classes of ten or fifteen students. Too many lectures are apt to become monotonous and boring. It would be deal if the ground covered by a lecture broadly is once again reviewed in the tutorial classes in greater detail and with an eye to individual difficulties of students.

When I first entered the classroom the atmosphere was very inviting and comfortable unlike most classrooms I enter for my own classes. There was a large skylight in the center of the ceiling as well as several windows that let in natural light. There are also green plants in a couple corners of the room. Each student has their own cubbies to put

There are many things needed to create an environment more conducive to learning for each student, some of which include:
