provided special rooms or areas for science, art, music, and physical education. There were still

separate rooms for different grade levels, however, and the desks still were likely to be formally

arranged. That is, the schoolroom was still largely designed to carry out the old-school program,

which involved grade levels, uniform time blocks, and study of subject matters. Newer subjects, not

newer teaching methods, accounted for most of what was new in school design.

The first school buildings constructed to encourage liberal teaching methods appeared in the

mid-1950s. Folding interior (内部的) walls permitted the flexible use of space to encourage

large-group, small-group, or individual instruction. Some provided carrels for individual study, areas for team teaching, and centers for programmed instruction.

In the newest buildings called open schools, the use of space is even more flexible. Areas within the buildings can be readily expanded for program changes, and used for many kinds of functions. One

should remember, though, the physical layout (布局) of a school cannot decide whether it has the

conservative or liberal teaching practices. What determines whether the classroom is liberal or

conservative is the spirit and attitude of the teacher.
