And a new generation of students, with deep immersion in social, entertainment and learning technologies, expect a media-rich but hands-on classroom experience.<\/p>\n<p>These changes are driving the adoption of active learning instruction models that create more collaborative learning environments, giving students more control over how content is learned and who they learn from. But have most classrooms kept pace? Does the average classroom support the flexible agenda of active learning?<\/p>\n<p>Universally, the answer to this question is no. No matter where in the world you look, the typical high school high school classroom hasn\u2019t changed in decades. At almost every educational institution, most classroom furniture is not really suited for multiple modes of learning. Desks and chairs often sit in tight rows that restrict movement, block sightlines and discourage discussion and collaborative work. Moving them is time-consuming and inconvenient to such an extent that the next class often sits in the configuration of the previous class, whether it\u2019s appropriate to the day\u2019s activities or not.<\/p>\n<p>Within the four walls of the typical classroom, there is little in common with today\u2019s dynamic teaching methodologies, technologies and active, engaged students.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to better understand how to support the needs of active learning in classrooms, Steelcase Education Solutions (SES) went straight to those with the first-hand knowledge and the most at stake: students and educators.<\/p>\n<h3>The Classroom Research<\/h3>\n<p>SES is a dedicated group within Steelcase created, essentially, to \u201cgo back to school\u201d: to partner with educational institutions in order to develop active learning solutions that solve for the realities of teaching and learning today. Through these partnerships, and as a part of its commitment to human-centered design, SES works directly with educational professionals and students, conducting extensive discussions and research to obtain insights from the front lines about what\u2019s needed and what actually works in day-to- day classroom use.<\/p>\n<p>During the research, SES performed trend analysis, ethnographic study, photography and interviews in more than 35 classrooms at 12 different schools and universities, and the consultants\u2019 observations led to important insights. They found that most classrooms act as a barrier to collaborative learning rather than a tool for learning under the demands of today\u2019s teaching pedagogies. Multiple teaching modes are necessary to support multiple learning styles, but classrooms generally do not support easy transitions from one mode to the next.<\/p>\n<p>They documented many examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Moving desks from rows into groups to allow sharing documents or close discussion.<\/li>\n<li>Sitting in configurations left from previous classes.<\/li>\n<li>Sitting at a distance from the instructor and each other, with empty chairs at the front acting as a further barrier.<\/li>\n<li>Looking around other student\u2019s heads or backs to see the instructor, a media screen or a speaker in a discussion.<\/li>\n<li>Stretching or arching backs uncomfortably against a rigid seatback during long class discussion periods.<\/li>\n<li>Sitting on desks or turning sideways in their chairs while participating in conversation or group discussion.<\/li>\n<li>Putting laptops on the student\u2019s lap because the tablet arm chair is not wide enough.<\/li>\n<li>Piling personal belongings on the lap or floor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>A New Solution<\/h3>\n<p>It was clear that a new solution was needed, and that it needed to support a variety of learning modes\u2014lecture, large group discussion, small project groups, and presentation. The class had to be able to convert quickly and conveniently from one configuration to the next. Students needed to be positioned so that everyone could be seen and heard, and instructors needed to be able to see and reach every student.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the SES findings and the input of instructors and students, Steelcase Design Studio in collaboration with the design and innovation consulting firm IDEO created Node, a chair designed to meet the many modes of learning. Every aspect of Node\u2019s design was focused on one purpose: to create a chair for the active learning environment of today\u2019s classroom. The next step was to put it to the test.<\/p>\n<h3>Northview High School Beta Site<\/h3>\n<p>Steelcase established a partnership with Northview High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., to conduct pre- and post-installation studies to evaluate Node\u2019s impact on the classroom experience. The two-month study involved an advanced-placement English classroom that the researchers felt confident would expose Node to different active learning and teaching modes.<\/p>\n<p>The installation itself revealed something of Node\u2019s added value. On a Friday afternoon after class was out, the existing student desks were removed and the new Node chairs were quickly unpacked, assembled and installed in just two hours, essentially turning a static classroom into an active classroom in a matter of minutes. Easy assembly and installation proved that a classroom can undergo a significant visual and functional change in an evening or weekend with no change to infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Once installed, the Northview beta site confirmed important aspects of the previous Node research, but it also demonstrated a great deal about how Node contributes to the learning environment and delivers a positive impact on the classroom experience.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-left \"><p>&#8220;[Some teachers] might lecture the whole time, but this way, it makes it so easy for students to work together.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Sheri Steelman<span>Northview High School teacher<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Node Classroom<\/h3>\n<p>The researchers\u2019 in-person observations confirmed that Node was facilitating the transformation of traditional classroom desks into a more interactive, dynamic teaching and learning environment. They observed more direct communication and presentation, more discovery and team-based approaches, more instructor coaching, and more persistent access to displays of information\u2014all characteristics of active learning.<\/p>\n<h3>Move<\/h3>\n<p>It was Node\u2019s mobility and how it affects the classroom\u2019s performance that made teacher Sheri Steelman take notice. She reported significant improvement in their ability to reach and engage students in an active learning environment. \u201cWe use the gradual-release model here in the high school, which means that the teacher does a focus lesson for 10 minutes and then involves the students in that lesson,\u201d said Steelman. \u201cThe next step is collaboration with peers, and that\u2019s the piece that\u2019s amazing with these desks, and it\u2019s also one of the steps that gets skipped. [Some teachers] might lecture the whole time, but this way, it makes it so easy for students to work together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Where instructors were once isolated at the front, they now moved easily and frequently among their students. Extra chairs were rolled away. Students sat closer. Often Steelman even sat with the students.<\/p>\n<p>Both instructors and students gained control over where they sat and in which configuration.<br \/>\nInstead of being locked into the existing static configuration of their desks, students could now swivel or \u201cscoot\u201d to work in pairs or groups, often at a moment\u2019s notice from their instructor. Researchers also observed instructors taking the center of a circle of desks for some instruction sessions, then moving to become \u201cguides on the side\u201d during discussion and project work as students smoothly reconfigured from one segment of class activity to the next.<\/p>\n<p>Students could also move independently. Instead of twisting or craning to see the instructor or media presentation, they could now shift or swivel without disrupting nearby students. When new students joined a group, the others could easily move back to bring them into the circle.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-left \"><p>&#8220;It\u2019s comfortable, easy to use, and it makes it easier to pay attention because now I\u2019m able to see and focus on the teacher wherever she is in the room.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Northview High School student<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a user survey, 98% said it improved their comfort in class, mainly due to the flexible seat shell and the swivel function, and 99% of students also said the backrest provided adequate support and 97% said the armrest support was sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe chair swivels easily, providing some needed stimulation during class,\u201d said one Northview student. \u201cThe arm rests, back support and foot rest are all very comfortable and convenient. Students can sit in a variety of positions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s comfortable, easy to use, and it makes it easier to pay attention,\u201d commented another, \u201cbecause now I\u2019m able to see and focus on the teacher wherever she is in the room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A curriculum director noted that even teachers who hadn\u2019t previously used different classroom configurations would probably now start using them because Node\u2019s mobility makes it a quick and natural conversion, said the teacher. \u201cIt takes literally seconds to straighten them and put them in whatever configuration you need for the next class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also noted the empowerment that Node conferred upon both instructor and student. \u201cA lot of times now, I\u2019m grabbing a chair becoming a part of their group, which has changed how I do things.\u201d Meanwhile, students quickly adapt to whatever is occurring in the classroom. \u201cNo matter where I am, they can turn whichever way they want to. It\u2019s so instant and so automatic.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Fit<\/h3>\n<p>Students personal belongings, like laptops, mobile devices, notebooks and textbooks all fit comfortably on the adjustable worksurface, not on their laps as previously seen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe work space is big enough to and allows enough room to write,\u201d said one user. \u201cThe work surface is easy to move in and out,\u201d said another, \u201cand the chair is easier to move around for groups. It helps my posture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the subject of ease of use, 95% said Node made it easy to use a laptop, 98% found it easy to adjust the worksurface, and 98% said getting in and out of Node was easy. Horizontal space was adequate for 76%, a proportion that is expected to vary according to a class\u2019s previous desk size.<\/p>\n<p>Students of all shapes and sizes could sit comfortably through long discussions or presentations. Instead of arching their backs or adopting uncomfortable poses, students could lean back against the flexible but supportive seatback or swivel their chair sideways to change positions. Overwhelmingly, they reported that Node improved the classroom learning experience.<\/p>\n<h3>Store<\/h3>\n<p>Steelman commented that both the base of Node and the arm were useful for storing student\u2019s belongings like backpacks and hand bags, keeping them off the floor allowing for quicker and easier transitions between classroom modes. \u201cI like the fact that the backpacks are either hanging or underneath, which gives me room, and because I\u2019m constantly tripping, hooking my foot into a strap as I\u2019m walking through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With aisles clear, the instructor moved around and approached the students more easily and frequently.<\/p>\n<p>Students put their laptops on the tablet worksurface alongside their notebook, not on their laps. Personal belongings were stored in the area under the seat, or more often, handbags and backpacks were slung over Node\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"pull-quote pull-quote-left \"><p>&#8220;I like the fact that the backpacks are either hanging or underneath, which gives me room. Before, I was constantly tripping, hooking my foot into a strap as I was walking through.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Sheri Steelman<span>Northview High School teacher<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Connect<\/h3>\n<p>Most importantly, from a learning and teaching perspective, Node earned equally high praise: 98% said it was easy to move for different activities, and 98% also saying it improved groupwork. Many found Node\u2019s comfort bestowed greater ability to absorb subject material, as 80% said it improved their ability to concentrate and focus.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Node improved the overall classroom experience for a remarkable 97% of students.<br \/>\nThe students appreciated how Node affected their in-class performance: 89% of the Northview students said the new seating increased their levels of concentration and focus. Students were clearly connecting more readily to each other, their instructors and the ideas presented in the classroom.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_140480\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_140480\" class=\"wp-image wp-caption alignright\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-140480 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/images.steelcase.com\/image\/upload\/c_limit,dpr_auto,q_70,h_1024,w_1024\/v1428955485\/www.steelcase.com\/10-0001743.jpg\" alt=\"node (color: citron)\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"figcaption_attachment_140480\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Node: for the many modes of learning<\/strong><br \/>Flexible seat, without pneumatic adjustments to worry about, keeps students comfortable in a variety of postures.

The purpose of the Node chair from the beginning was to support active learning and modern teaching methods within the traditional classroom. From the response of those who have used it, it\u2019s a front-row seat on education\u2019s next big drive forward.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>High School students say Node makes a difference<\/h3>\n<p>Students in a dedicated advanced English classroom at Northview High School in Grand Rapids, Mich., found the Node chair improved both their learning experience and their comfort in class.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they said about how Node affects the learning and classroom experience:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">80%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>improves concentration and focus<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">97%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>improves overall classroom experience<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">98%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>improves group work<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">98%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>easy to move into different activities<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">99%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>backrest provides enough support like the look<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>What they said about how Node affects their comfort level in class:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">76%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>enough horizontal work surface<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">95%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>easy to use laptop<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">97%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>armrest provides enough support<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">98%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>more comfortable easy to adjust work surface easy to get in and out<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"numeric-stat\">99%<\/span><\/td>\n<td>backrest provides enough support like the look<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em><sup>N= 68 students<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><sup><em>Fall 2010<\/em><\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pre- and post-installation studies at Northview High School confirms node transforms the traditional classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"topic":[1351],"class_list":["post-138556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","industry-education","topic-learning"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
