What is the "action zone," and how does it affect the interaction between the students and a teacher?
What will be an ideal response?
In classrooms in which seats are organized in rows, the teacher is most likely to interact with students seated in the front and center of the classroom. This area has been called the "action zone" because students in the front and center locations interact the most with the teacher. For example, they most often ask questions and are most likely to initiate discussion. If the teacher uses a row arrangement, then he or she moves around the room when possible, establishes eye contact with students seated outside the "action zone," directs comments to students in the peripheral seats, and periodically has students change seats so that all students have an equal opportunity to sit in the front and center seats.
