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. [br] The expression "step back in time at least a hundred years" (Line 2, Para. 2) is intended to convey the idea that______.
选项
A、college classrooms often reminded people of their college life
B、critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago
C、a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different
D、there is not much change in educational idea over the past hundred years
答案
D
解析
第二段首句提到“尽管我们已经迈进21世纪了,可是你走进大学教室就好像回到了至少一百年前”,下句中normally一词说明大学教室的布置在这一百年里没有太大的变化,即是说教育思想在过去的一百年里没有太大的改变(The assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious.),故答案为D)。由首段末句可知,critical thinking是作者认为现在的教育应该提倡的,故排除B)。
