“seating position, classroom design, density, privacy, noise, and windows” and classroom ecology (p. 578). Even decades ago, Weinstein was able to determine a correlation between a student’s seating position in the classroom and their academic performance. In a study conducted 17 years later,
The classroom environment varies based on the teacher, room arrangement, sounds, light, temperature, and decorations that are present within each space. With the classrooms undergoing these changes, many are moving away from the name of a classroom and towards the name of ‘learning centers’ (Beard & Wilson, 2013, p. 97).
poten-tially expands this area, known as the action zone, to the whole classroom. Seating arrangements therefore can play an important role in the formation of. interper-sonal dynamics and identity formation among students and their teachers. In this paper, the purposes and ways of using circular seatin. in language classrooms will be explored ...
Flexible seating classrooms. A flexible seating classroom is one in which traditional seating charts are replaced with seating arrangements that allow the students to sit where they choose. [1] One of its principal objectives is to reduce the number/duration of sedentary periods of time, which research has identified as a danger to health.

The focus of this study was to look at how the seating layout effects participation and assessment performance overall as a class. The participants were 23 fourth grade students at a Louisiana elementary school. Three layouts were tested: small groups, horseshoe, and pairs. This study included three, two-week rounds of research.
Grant or Contract Numbers: N/A. A study was conducted at a new elementary school in central Virginia to investigate influences on teachers' choices of seating arrangements and to determine the best seating arrangement to use. Four classroom teachers, each with an average class size of 20 students, volunteered to be observed and interviewed.
Grant or Contract Numbers: N/A. This paper presents the results of a two-part study that investigated classroom seating design preferences among elementary classroom teachers. In part one, the researchers mapped and classified seating arrangements that were in actual use across 294 regular classrooms (grades K-5) in 21 public elementary schools.
