The Importance Of Classroom Scenarios

Students who are more comfortable will be more engaged in class. Ordinarily, classrooms are set up in straight columns and rows. But a German study on classroom arrangements has proved that students asked more questions when rooms were set up in arrangements other than rows and columns of desks (Earp). If students are involved in class discussion, that means they are engaged in their learning. Plus, when we sit for a long period of time in an uncomfortable chair, we are distracted by our discomfort. When we fidget, we distract others around us, too. If we are fidgeting and drawing attention to ourselves, then we are missing out on important information or we’re not focusing on our tasks. They also say that variety is the spice of life, right? What works for you one day may not work for you another day, and it may depend on your tasks that day. At home, our students choose a place where they

Jacob is in the 5th-grade, whom has been diagnosed with ADHD and an emotional/behavioral disorder. He has trouble identifying with children his own age. He can be very aggressive and speaks very loudly. Academically Jacob is currently on a third grade level. He has become very frustrated with school and does not recognize the importance of an education. Because of his frustrations, he will have temper tantrums. Jacob needs constant help throughout the day working through his emotional/behavioral issues (Case Study). This paper will summarize and discuss why or why not an inclusive, resource, or self-contained classroom would provide the best placement for Jacob, and discuss related services, technology, and collaboration models for each possible

The desk arrangement in the classroom will be flexible. Desks will be arranged into various formats to align with the intended learning objectives of a lesson. Desks may be placed in groups to promote collaboration and cooperation. They may be organized in a peanut formation to promote student-student and student-teacher discussion.

My eighth grade classroom is set in a Jr-Sr. High school and is located in the Jr. High hallway, in the rear of the high school. I have thirty-two student desks situated in rows and two small tables at the front of my room used for paper pick up. My desk and computer are in the back corner of the room. The students all have their own Chromebooks and I have a desktop computer as well as a Samsung Tablet. Google Classroom is used daily as well as many other applications suited for 1:1 schools. I also have a projector hanging from the ceiling and two large white boards located on the front and side walls of my classroom. The class that I will be focusing on in this paper is made up of 26 students, 15 boys and 11 girls. One student with learning disabilities, another is an ELL student. This class meets for 55 minutes.

Students are groups based on their academic level, and have their desks are set in 4 groups of 6 with one group being in a set of 5. Two groups are in the front of the class while the other two groups are in the back of the class. 2 students are placed facing the window and 2 other students are facing the closets (making the students facing each other), and the last 2 students are facing the front of the classroom. I find that this positioning of the students is great for allowing students to turn and talk, and work as a group for certain assignments. The down side, however, is that students tend to talk excessively to one another, and get distracted more

The classroom environment effects instruction and learning by having an open area for the students to learn while exploring/playing. The educator uses the open space to model the task that needs to be completed. There were two table, which each seats seven students, for instructional hands-on work. Here students complete worksheets, drawings, and tracing words, shapes, and letter. Students encourage and help each other when sitting at these tables. Students learn to communicate when working in two groups on the same task. There were no effective practices that built an anti-bias environment that supported diverse learners.

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

Classrooms environments are very important at the time of learning. According to our textbook, the environment is viewed as an established behavioral place that forms how we act and behave (Vukelich & Christie, 2016). The environment in the classroom I visited was adequate for learning because it has all the things a preschool classroom has to have according to the textbook. The classroom has a bulleting board, a dramatic play center, a writing center, tables for manipulative and games, whole group meeting area, a computer area and an art area. There was also on a wall a picture of every single child with his and her names. My visit was from 10:30 to 12:30. When I first arrived, children were in a transition from one activity to another. The next activity was to watch an ABC phonics video. All the children knew what they have to do. They had to sit nicely and quiet on the floor. Every single child knew how to sit. They crossed their legs and put their hands in their laps. When the teacher saw that all the children were sitting properly, she assumed that they were ready to learn. During this activity I observed that Matthew and Jose were not engaged with this activity because they were looking to other children instead to look to the screen. For the next activity the children had to take a tablet from a cabinet. I was surprise because every single child knew the number of the tablet they have to take. Later I noticed that it was because in the classroom every child has a

In the observed lesson, the teacher has strategically placed desks in a way that amplifies the potential discussion between the students in the inner circle. The students are able to easily pay attention to the speaker, which enhances retention and allows students to implement active listening in regard to their peers. This is not only found in

Last semester was exceptionally challenging; however, it was extremely beneficial because I had to work harder than any of my other classes before. I think various elements contributed to me being unsuccessful in Nursing 204. My aunt died in March with Lupus and that affected me in a huge on the grounds that she played a big role in my life, since I was a child. I was still in the denial stage and my emotions took over, which caused me to become less motivated in school. I just felt like I had no inspiration last semester and I should not have let my emotions hindered my education. In high school, I generally experienced difficulty taking tests that were not seeking the direct answers, and the Nursing 204 tests were not quite the same as the tests I would regularly take. My procrastination last semester played an enormous role in failing the course. When I initially

For my observation hour, I chose to observe a resource room with Ms. Krista Niederklein class at Watson Elementary School. When I walked into the classroom Ms. Niederklien has the room set into different sections for the students. She tends to work with the younger age levels such as K-2, which is a grade level's that I’m considering teaching. I asked her why she made her classroom into different sections, she explained to me that it makes it easier for the students to focus. She said that when you make the classroom into a traditional setting, the non-traditional learners get easily distracted. Also by having them in different sections, I noticed that you as a teacher can provide more one on one time with your students.

Teachers are not only expected to teach their students, but also provide an environment where everyone feels safe and can learn. Classroom management is a very important part of teaching. Students cannot learn in an unsafe, disruptive environment. This paper will discuss the strategy of SHAPING, how it is used to modify a student’s behavior, and give an example of how to modify a student’s behavior. This paper will also discuss my personal beliefs about classroom management, share rules and expectations for the classroom, rewards for individuals and the class, designing the classroom where the teacher is visible and there are no distractions, and discuss some classroom procedures and how they contribute to classroom management

            In my opinion Dan needs to intensify his Precision and allow himself more time to prepare for assignments. He also needs to tether his Sequence pattern to organize a plan to approach his work for the week. He can also ask the professor to explain his assignments more if he does not understand it. He needs to also intensify his confluence so he can feel more comfortable with the risk it takes to complete the assignment. It may also help if he works on his mindset too. He could try and work with a more of a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset.

Mrs. Ross has her fourth grade students move their desks together into groups of 2 to do a group activity. She instructs them to pair with anyone they choose. Teresa raises her hand, “I don’t want to pair with Megan again because she doesn’t do any of the work. Can I have someone else?” Megan who is soft-spoken just looks down at the floor as the class waits for the teacher’s response. Mrs. Ross asks Teresa and Megan to come with her outside and instructs the class to carry on with the activity.

Most settings of classrooms we see in the Philippines or observed even in our own schools and universities are almost similar with each other. Specifically concerning the seating style. Very few from our teachers or professors are changing the style of the seats like instead of using the Row Style in teaching, change it to Semi-circle style. The researcher also noticed that with the traditional kind of setting in seating arrangement, we hear teachers say, “People from the back, please stop talking” or in a scenario of recitation we often hear “Other hands please”. Many studies and
