Managing the Physical
Environment
But before we start our lesson
for today, let us first ask for
the guidance of our Lord.

Managingthe
Physical Environment
What can you say about the pictures on
the next slide?
Will you be comfortable studying inside a classroom like this?
“The external environment helps the atmosphere
conducive for learning.”
A conducive learning environment includes:
- conveniently arranged furniture- Flexible seating arrangement- clean, well-ventilated, noise-free and
fresh classroom
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.
Furniture 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.
Seating arrangement
Different Seating
Arrangements
Traditional Seating Arrangement
- ideal for establishing classroom management.- allows students to focus on the teacher- it is great for direct instruction
Horse shoe Seating Arrangement
- ideal for skits, role playing and student demonstrations
- creates a friendlier atmosphere
Modular Seating Arrangement
- ideal for cooperative learning activities
- this seating arrangement invites dialogues, which is great if that is your purpose
Face to face Seating Arrangement
This format is wonderful if you have desks because you can rearrange them from traditional rows into groups and back again, depending on your lesson plan.
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.
Physical Condition of the classroom
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.
Physical Condition of the classroom
For a lively and fresh look, potted indoor plants can be placed at the corners and flowers on the teacher’s table.During class hours, proper lighting and ventilation must be provided and maintained for everybody’s comfort.Noise and discipline problems in the physical environment can be avoided in an orderly and well-managed classroom.
Physical Condition of the classroom
Let us not forget that equally important, if not more important, is the
psychological atmosphere that reigns
in the classroom.
Thank you!
