The Effects of Classroom Spatial Organisation on Four- and Five-Year-Old Children's Learning.

Nash, B. C.

British Journal of Educational Psychology, v51 n2 p144-55 Jun 1981

In a three-year cumulative study, more than 1,000 children were observed either in randomly arranged preschool classrooms or in classrooms deliberately arranged to promote learning. Creativity, oral language use, and development of science and number concepts were significantly higher for children in the specially planned classrooms. (Author/SJL)
