Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.
We have entered the twenty-first century, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious. Everything of importance comes from the teacher.
With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard-size classes, chairs, desks and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Larger classes, particularly those held in lecture halls, unfortunately, allow much less flexibility.
Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls, it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other, think out loud, and see how other students’ thinking processes operate all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.
In courses that regularly use a small group format, students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine, John, allows students to move around during the first two weeks, until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat, with the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names and faces.
It is implied in the passage that______.
选项
A、new kinds of desks and chairs should be made
B、it is feasible for teachers to let students turn around and form groups of four to six even in large lecture halls
C、classroom interaction between students is essential to the training of critical thinking
D、a comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency
答案
D
解析
本题可采用排除法。A)在文中并未提及,故排除。文中第四段第三句提到“Even in largelecture halls…form groups of four to six”,B)是此句的同义转述,并不是文中所暗指的内容,故排除。由第四段末句“Breaking a class into small groups…students’thinking processes operate all essential elements indeveloping new modes of critical thinking”可知,C)是此句的同义转述,但不是文中所暗指的内容,故排除。综上所述并结合首段第二句可知D)为答案。
