本研究探讨了最佳的形状和布局的座位安排，以促进学生在工作室式的学习空间，这已经出现在高等教育的协作学习环境的发展过程中的表现。我们进行了一个设计案例研究，探讨在一个小团体活动中，在圆形和新月形的座位安排的团队和个人的过程中的表现。评估员观察并测量了每个小组成员的个人过程绩效以及每个小组的团队过程绩效。个人过程性能的所有因素得分均高于在新月形的座位安排比在圆形的座位安排，具有实质性的影响大小。在小组过程表现方面，新月形座位安排的“计划与过程”及“独立与领导”因子得分显著高于圆形座位安排，显示新月形座位安排培养了学生在项目工作中负责任地合作的能力。视频分析显示，在新月形布局的群体往往有更多的目光接触，花更少的时间规划，这表明这种社会心理效应有可能提高效率，在讨论中坐在一个新月形的安排。我们讨论的必要性，考虑到学生的座位安排有关sociopetal，以及近距离的焦点和领导者和其他参与者之间的距离，让他们更好地从事自己的工作。
This research explored the best shapes and layouts of seating arrangements for fostering process performances of students in studio-style learning spaces, which have emerged in the development of collaborative learning environments in higher education. We conducted a design case study to explore both team and individual process performances during a small-group activity in a round-shaped and a crescent-shaped seating arrangement. Evaluators observed and measured the individual process performance of each group member together with the team process performances of each group. All factor scores of the individual process performance were higher in the crescent-shaped seating arrangement than in the round-shaped seating arrangement, with substantive effect sizes. In the group process performance, the factor scores of ‘planning and process’ and ‘independence and leadership’ in the crescent-shaped seating arrangement were substantially higher than those of the round-shaped arrangement, indicating that the crescent-shaped seating arrangement fostered students’ ability to collaborate responsibly in their project work. Video analysis revealed that groups in the crescent-shaped layout tended to have more eye-contact and to spend less time planning, which indicates that such sociopetal effects have the potential to promote efficiency in the discussion between people seated in a crescent-shaped arrangement. We discuss the necessity to take students’ seating arrangements into consideration regarding the sociopetal, as well as a proximal focal point and less-disparate distance between the leader and other participants to allow them to engage in their own work better.
