Psychophysiological Characteristics and School Performance of Children in Open and Traditional Classrooms.

Koester, Lynne Sanford; Farley, Frank H.

Journal of Educational Psychology, v74 n2 p254-63 Apr 1982

Children in open and traditional classrooms were observed and tested on physiological and performance measures. The children were categorized into subgroups according to their arousal level. Analyses of variance revealed that performance of high-arousal children in open classrooms decreased over time in contrast to all other subgroups. (Author/AL)
