Managing the Physical

Environment

“The external environment helps

the atmosphere conducive for

learning.”

A conducive physical learning environment includes:

• Conveniently arranged furniture• Flexible seating arrangement• Clean, well ventilated, noise-free and

fresh classroom

WHAT IS FURNITURE?

is the mass noun for the movable objects intended to support various human activities such as seating and sleeping in beds, to

hold objects at a convenient height for work using horizontal surfaces above the ground, or to store things. Storage furniture such as a nightstand often makes use of doors, drawers, shelves and locks to contain, organize or secure smaller objects such as clothes, tools,

books, and household goods.

Furniture Arrangement

The physical features in the classroom must be located in areas where the contents could be viewed well and be made available for use. Well-arranged, they make the room look spacious and orderly. Furniture such as chairs and tables for demonstration or displays must be positioned appropriately. Exhibits shelves are either permanently pinned to the wall or made to stand at the sides.White board for writing and clarifying lesson discussion, together with the bulletin boards are available for posting important messages and outstanding pieces of student work, art and illustration.

Seating Arrangement

Seating arrangement deserves foremost consideration since the students stay in each at the longest time during the day.They either remain seated if there is a lecture demonstration or leave every now and then to gather the materials needed for an experiment or to operate a single equipment.Match the seating arrangement with the format and activities of your lesson plan.

Physical condition of the classroom

• Clean rooms, hallways and surrounding are wholesome places to say in.• The teacher should schedule who is responsible for their neatness on a

regular basis.• Used instructional materials and devices must be returned to their places.• Always erase the board after use it.• Place a waste basket nearly.

• The physical environment must also be a safe place where curious, overactive and energetic children are always on the go.

• Avoid slippery floors, rickety chairs and old furniture.• In performing experiments where heat sources such as electric stove, gas

burners and bulbs are used, extreme care must be exercised in order to prevent fires.
