6. It may be observed that classrooms are
usually arranged with neat columns and rows of
student chairs, while the teacher stands in front
of the classroom or sits behind his desk.
However, after spending so many minutes in
lesson presentation and class management,
students can get restless and fidgety.
The Traditional Classroom

misbehavior in class as students start to talk
among themselves or simply stare away in lack
of attention.

traditional classroom activities – especially in
less developed countries-will continue to have
a strong place in the classroom.

countries, the option has now been opened for
the modern teacher to shift gears to student
centered learning.
