Organization

Students who sit in the front rows tend to be the ones who really want to learn. They are usually the ones who asks the questions. The ones who sit in the back are the ones who do not like to be called upon for answers. Students are reluctant to switch seats as they feel comfortable with where they are. They have gotten used to sitting in a specific place and they feel uncomfortable with change. Group study (if planned out properly)help students to view and share all ideas.

My expierience has been that about 70% of the students that sit in the back rows do poorest on tests and also seem to be where most of the discipline issues come from.
I must also say that this seems to be normal in my school enviornment, as most of the other instructors here all see about the same outcomes.

Joyce,

yes & it forces the engagement & interactivity of all & so can help encourage students to share their ideas.
