Poster Title: Classroom Configurations: How They Accommodate Learning Formats
Abstract:
Finding classroom configurations that accommodate different learning formats are an essential aspect of effective student learning. If classroom furniture was configured in a way that would meet each student’s ability to learn in all types of formats, then teachers could be able to see advancements in student learning. If teachers were taught how to implement all types of learning formats into their curriculum, then students would learn right away in effective environments, rather than halfway through their academic career. Examples of classroom configurations that could be successful are whiteboard tables for hands on learning or horseshoe desks for students to easily hear and see the teacher. The goals for the research are to identify what classroom configurations would help students learn the most effectively through all sorts of learning formats and how they can be applied to teaching curriculum for the best outcome in student success. The intended way to collect data for this research is to go to local schools around the area and observe their classroom configuration and how the curriculum being taught allows students to reach their greatest potential. The significance of these findings could allow teachers to understand what is needed to be implemented into curriculum for the learning formats. Additionally, teachers could understand what classroom configurations allow for all the learning formats to be used.
