Abstract

The following research, analysis about an integral part of current elementary classroom, has been done to grasp the importance of re-organization of an elementary school classroom. For the research process 11 schools, 60 classrooms have been studied to analyze the physical elements of classroom(learning tools, equipment, etc.) to provide deeper understanding on their display, and spatial arrangement, as well as characteristic of a classroom. By looking at these analyzed elements with perspective to the grade, the number of students per class, the result turned out to be uninteresting. The observation that was made by this analysis was that there are more usages of multi-purpose desk in the classroom when there are only a few numbers of students. Also the observation could be made on the classroom wall-post. Each post had a tendency to have its defined area to be posted. The analysis showed that there are total of 24 corners can be created in the classroom, also it distinctly showed that the number of corners gets changed depending on the number of students in the classroom. The 24 corners including learning tools, equipment, and posts could be sorted to a minimum of 11 areas and a maximum of 22 areas depending on the educational purpose of the corners. The current layout of these corner and area will be the primary component that will be needed for the new coming classroom. For the future progress, depending on the system of education, the following needs to be done: (1) The installation of corners in the classroom (2) A small common-lounge area between two classrooms (3) A common-corner for each grade (4) Deeper research will be required to discuss the installation of a wide-educational area.
