Acquiring about space, place, and boundaries has been an eye-opening experience towards the learning environments of students. I never imagined nor visualized classrooms in this specific way, until diving deep into this essential information. I realized growing up, all of my classrooms had a strict boundary, which showed the difference in authority between the teacher and the students. The teacher’s desk was always placed at the front of the classroom with student’s desks behind. In elementary school I occasionally had a few instances where the desks would be placed in pods or groups. When that occurred, my classmates were much more engaged and active towards the activities being shown. In high school, every single one of my classes were rows of desks. This placed an obvious division in the classrooms proving that teachers are dominant over students. They are the ones in charge, conducting a lesson, at the board, which was always located at the front of the room. Growing up, every student knew that you had to listen to your teacher and follow their instruction, otherwise consequences would arise. Our physical location set boundaries within the classroom. More times than not, I did not get the opportunity to connect with all my classmates. Definitely not in high school, as there was less group work and new classmates for every subject. This was difficult because I was often alone trying to figure out the class, when support may have been beneficial. It often made me feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or defeated towards the curriculum being taught. To make classrooms more relational, teachers should focus some time on their teaching environment. Learning from each other will provide possible improvements and act as an advantage to students. I truly believe that if a student is comfortable in their environment, then they will have an increased chance at being successful.
