Integrating Furniture and Color For Optimal Learning Motivation and Positive Teacher-Student Communication Through Effective Classroom Arrangement Training

Abstrak

This study aims to examine the impact of effective classroom arrangement training on classroom design comprehension, learning motivation, and positive teacher-student communication. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design, involving 30 respondents consisting of 13 teachers and 17 parents. The research instruments comprised three scales measuring classroom design comprehension (AlphaChronbach 0.882), optimal learning (Alpha-Chronbach 0.769), and positive teacher-student communication (Alpha-Chronbach 0.820). Hypothesis testing results indicated a significant increase in all three variables following the training (t-values: -17.836, - 10.051, -8.637). Among these, classroom design comprehension showed the greatest improvement, followed by optimal learning and effective communication. This study highlights the importance of proper classroom arrangement in fostering a conducive learning environment and promoting positive teacher-student interactions. Consequently, the training offers practical insights for teachers and parents to create more functional and aesthetically pleasing learning environments.
