“…In Malaysia, a classroom size (24 feet x 30 feet) has been standardised by Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) with 30 pupils and one teacher. Nonetheless, the increasing number of pupils in a classroom every year has been a great challenge to educators, particularly in urban area schools (Ramli, Ahmad & Masri, 2013). Taking a large classroom size into consideration, educators are responsible to adopt different learning styles in teaching vocabulary.…”

Many theories share the proposition that humans can be categorized according to their learning style and learning strategies. The varieties of learning strategies preference increase the difficulty for an educator to teach an English Second Language Learning (ESL) classroom. Vocabulary is the most important and fundamental aspect of learning a second language. Past studies have shown numerous vocabulary learning strategies (VLS) being investigated on secondary and tertiary level but limited in primary level, as well as taking gender preference into account. Therefore, this study aims to identify the most used language strategies in vocabulary learning and explore the gender differences in the preference of vocab learning strategies among Year 5 pupils in an urban primary school in Malaysia. With the reference of six language learning strategies (LLS) classified by Oxford, a quantitative investigation was conducted using four-point-Likert-scale questionnaires adopted from Perceptual Learning-Style Preference Questionnaire on 40 respondents selected through a purposive sampling. Descriptive statistics is used to analyse the data by calculating the mean. Findings showed that metacognitive is the most used VLS among primary pupils in general and there is an obvious difference in preferences between two genders. Female pupils basically apply more strategies than male pupils and they favour social strategies. Educators should take the preferences of VLS between genders into account when it comes to designing differentiated learning approaches to enhance vocabulary learning in an ESL classroom.

“…In Malaysian schools, the Cluster seating comes last at 12%, U-Shaped seating is recorded at 18%, and Traditional seating registers at 70%. Cluster seating is the favourite choice for teachers who prefer group work (Ramli, Ahmad & Masri, 2013).…”

This article articulates a framework suitable to use when making a decision about student seating arrangement in the classroom at school level as a research aim. The decision makers should establish what are the potential types of seating arrangement? Then evaluate them in terms of its contribution, significance, and impact to the student learning development. The problem of a seating arrangement is usually related to the seating student position selection that is usually decided by teachers or students that can freely choose their own seating. There are three (3) objectives covered in this article; objective 1: to justify the main factors influencing classroom seating arrangement at school building, objective 2: to identify the common patterns of seating arrangement applied for school level and objective 3; to determine the best practice of seating arrangement for 21st century classroom approach at school building. The article articulates a theory of seating arrangement in reference to five (5) common forms of seat arrangement, namely Traditional (columns and rows), Cluster, U-shaped, Stadium, and Runaway. The performance of students might drop especially weak students who are sitting at the back of the classroom if the students are not judiciously arranged. Thus, seating arrangements should be set properly to ensure optimal quality of learning in a classroom. The technique of comparative analysis was used in this study. The findings had shown that cluster seating arrangement is relevant with the 21st century learning approach, which provides more availability of collaborative learning, where it contributes to student-centred learning in a classroom.

“…Lingkungan fisik ini meliputi saran prasarana pembelajaran yang di miliki sekolah seperti lampu, ventilasi, bangku, dan tempat duduk yang sesuai untuk siswa, dan lain sebagainya (Saroni, 2006). Lingkungan fisik kelas perlu dirancang dengan baik agar memberi kenyamanan bagi pengguna kelas yaitu guru dan murid, lingkungan fisik kelas yang nyaman akan memberi pengalaman belajar yang lebih baik (Nur Hidayahtuljamilah Ramli & Masri, 2013). Lingkungan fisik didefinisikan sebagai ciri fisik kelas.…”

Behavioristic learning theory states that student learning outcomes are determined by the content of learning and environmental influences. One factor is the classroom environment, the comfortable classroom environment allows students to concentrate. Students spend more time in class than in other school environments. Education in economic subjects is a lifelong learning process, which is beneficial to life. Economic subjects discuss the basic economic concepts that are directly related to everyday life. The main objective of economic subjects is to prepare students with the knowledge necessary to understand the world and make better choices and prepare them to serve as economic actors in the future. The classroom environment on economic subjects will be connected to the teaching and learning process, including the physical and non-physical environments. Learning theory from Albert Bandura known as Social Learning Theory (social learning theory) with the main concept of reciprocal determination, states that there is a constant interaction between environment, behavior and people that influence the learning process that will ultimately affect the learning outcomes obtained. So it can be said that human behavior is the result of continuous interaction between internal factors (behavior, people) and external (environment).
