the instructors communicate with students
and how students interact with one another.
(McCorskey and McVetta, 1978)

What types of learning environment are involved?

look of the class.
Students can see the teacher
easily.

Students in back rows are more
likely to be less engaged.

STORYTIME WHEN I CHEATED ON A PHYSICS
EXAM IN HIGHSCHOOL BECAUSE THE TEACHER
WAS BAD ,AND HE NEVER MONITORED (AND
ALSO BECAUSE I SUCK AT MATH AND THOSE
THINGS)
HORSESHOE/ U SHAPE
The instructor can move
around the room.
It encourages discussion
between students and with the
instructor.
Students can see the instructor
and most of the students easily.
Roundtable

Students and instructors all


face one another in this setup.
It supports whole-class
dialogue.
It helps ss-ss communication.
Double horseshoe
Similar to conventional
horseshoe.

Students easily interact with


those nearest to them or turn
around and face students
behind them for group work.

Good option of large classes.


Group pods Pair pods

Communication among groups is easier.

Good option when students will be working


in teams for a large portion of the class.
