Interaction with cluster seating is a little different than with U-shaped seating. In U-shaped seating the students participate as part of a large community, with cluster seating, students listen to instruction as in traditional row seating, but operate within a small community. This can be beneficial to shy students or students who wish not to talk in a larger group. Also, the smaller group allows students an opportunity to formulate beliefs, receive feedback in a relatively safe confine of a few, and practice voicing their thoughts before opening up to the whole class. In this way, interaction can first be within a smaller safe area before moving to the larger arena.
In small groups, the interaction can be more authentic as it is far more personal with a few students than expressing an idea in front of many and having the constraints of group dynamics. This safety encourages more interaction from shy students who may never be active in a larger group setting.
Another great feature of cluster seating a class is the teacher mobility amongst the students to observe or assess work. The maneuverability is great for larger classes.
