Behavior can be an issue with cluster seating. Whereas, U-shaped seating allows the eyes of many to control the behavior of one, the isolated small group of a larger class doesn’t afford the same benefits. Students with behavioral problems may feel immune from the small group expectations and believe they can hide their actions from the larger group easily. So the social pressure is not there. On the other hand, responsible students may take control and force the student with behavioral issues to conform.
A strategy for controlling students with behavioral problems is to sit them in the center of the room. Depending on the size of the class room and the number of groups, it is best to place those students near the middle where the educator’s attention is mostly focused. Do not place the students on the left or right in the front, as this is the most overlooked place by teachers. Have the students feel they are in the visual field of the educator at all times.
For younger students, boys are normally more active and cause more problems than girls. Having the students sit beside the opposite gender will usually control most problems, but it’s never a sure fire way to control students. If there are two educators in the class, one can be at the board while the other is walking among the students. The educator’s presence is enough to stop most behavioral issues.
Another strategy, regardless of age, is to assign a group leader and make them responsible for the group. Most of the time, assigning power to one student forces the student with behavioral problems to recognize them as an authority and listen.
