摘要

A conducive learning environment is essential for children. Therefore, classroom space needs to be appropriately designed to create a suitable and dynamic environment. This indirectly impacts children's learning outcomes and their interest in attending school. Previous statements and research on Active Learning Classrooms (ALC) and Task-Based Learning (TBL) have shown positive effects on interaction and connection between students and teachers when applied in the classroom. These studies also demonstrate the correlation between classroom users and furniture; space is integral to both. In many Asian countries, children typically spend two-thirds of their time in the classroom when starting school. The educational methods in some of these countries still rely on classroom designs centered around the teacher. This is viewed as a traditional classroom layout model based on various factors, such as economics, perception, and architecture, which these classrooms still adhere to. This study proposes an appropriate classroom layout model and suggests directives for classroom furniture that can be applied to current elementary school classroom models in Vietnam.
