Modifying Student Behavior in an Open Classroom through Changes in the Physical Design

Weinstein, Carol S.

American Educational Research Journal, 14, 3, 249-62, Sum 77

Spatial distribution of activity in a second-third grade open classroom was observed before and after a change in the physical design, to test the hypothesis that minor changes in the physical setting would produce predictable, desirable changes in student behavior. In most cases the desired behavior changes were produced. (Author/MV)
