What is Class arrangement?

Class arrangement refers to a layout of the physical setup of chairs, tables, materials in a school classroom. In most countries, this arrangement is often chosen by paid, professional teacher with the assistance of a seating chart. Deciding upon classroom arrangement is typically done at the beginning of a school year as a part of classroom management. The decision to change the classroom environment is thought to affect the student engagement, focus and participation.

Some research suggests that seating location is related to academic achievement and classroom participation and class arrangement has the ability to affect the communal environment within the room.
