Exploring Students Behavior on Seating Arrangements in Learning Environment: A Review

摘要

This paper reviews the current methods of investigating student's behavior in relation to classroom seating arrangement. Seating arrangements have been found as influencing student's behavior within a classroom. Most of the previous works used observation and questionnaire methods to measure the impact of seating arrangement on student's behavior, but the results often show missing link to the culture to which the student belonged. As culture may cause different tendencies in classroom behavior, expansion of the current methodology is vital. This paper highlights the potential application of Means- End Chain model in measuring student's learning behavior in the context of seating arrangement.
