With the improvement of educational conditions, many schools began to implement small class teaching. Small class teaching provides great freedom for arranging and placing tables and chairs. The placement of desks and chairs in the classroom directly affects the development of teachers' classroom activities, and relates to whether the student-centered teaching method can be implemented.

 When considering these ability training methods, we should not neglect the question of how to place the desks and chairs in the classroom?

1. Traditional: less mutual interference but not conducive to active learning.

The tables and chairs shown in the figure above are the most familiar ones, and most teachers are believed to have experienced them personally. Many classrooms must place desks and chairs in this most efficient way because of space constraints.

The advantage of this placement form is that it provides students with privacy and independent learning and thinking space, which can prevent interference from others. Therefore, this form is more suitable for students to use in examinations or classroom presentations. However, the traditional form of table and chair placement is unfavorable for the more active learning mode, because students are difficult to communicate with other students in such a space.

2. U-shaped or T-shaped table: most conducive to face-to-face communication.

The two tables and chairs in the above figure, the U-shaped table, and the T-shaped table, are suitable for teacher centered classroom.

However, unlike the traditional table and chair placement, the U-shaped placement in a relatively small classroom is more conducive to face-to-face communication between teachers and students, to establish a good relationship between teachers and students. The disadvantage of this form is that if you want to have group interaction, it will be difficult to implement. This T-table table and chair placement can maximize the use of resources in the classroom. Classroom discussion in the form of debate can also be carried out well through this table and chair arrangement.

3. Group cooperation: A bad grasp of advantage can also become a disadvantage

In the classroom of the 21st century, the group like table and chair shown in the above figure are more common. This form is conducive to group communication among students. At the same time, it gives each student a safe and comfortable environment to express their opinions, so that each student's voice can be heard. With this seating arrangement, students become the focus of the whole class.

How to place the desks and chairs in the classroom needs to be constantly explored according to your own teaching style. Choosing a suitable table and chair placement form for your own teaching mode can make the whole classroom more effective with less effort.
