Before doing the research,I am enchanted with the richness and limitlessness of varying from one classroom structure to another.Like musical notes,the classroom ingredients as teaching goal,teacher,student,knowledge,teaching process and teaching approach,though perpetual but can be permutated and combined differently to form diverse melodies,harmonious rhymes,rising and falling in cadence which possessing fabulous emotional appeal and imposing atmosphere.As we can see,classroom structure is essential to revitalize classroom,to free creativity and to beauty the life on account of wonderful and mighty panorama,widely different combinations and refreshing ways of changing and stable internal elements.What let me down,however,is not abundance but poverty of current study in the classroom structure.Here,I ascribed this poverty to absent interdisciplinary study and poverty of thoughts.Without the perspective of interdisciplinary study,the research of classroom structure,in theory or in practice,is limited in the cave of Teaching Methodology and is shackled by tight logic of sheer scientific rationality,lacked in multiple perspectives and enlightened harmony thoughts which shroud life,filter how people feel and disperse aesthetics in classroom.For this reason,the study provides reference for activating and optimizing classroom structure from perspective of interdisciplinary study and deep learning aboutThereupon,the journey of exploring classroom structure starts through literature classroom structure.review,peer observing and speculating meditation.To begin with is "to suck".With great eagerness,I am immersed in profound thoughts from sages as Confucius,Socrates and Sakyamuni to absorb prototroph about classroom teaching and teaching philosophy.I am extensively reading books about Logical Empiricism,Dissipative Structure,Complexity theory and Ecology,so I become attached to disciplines as Physics,Engineering science and Biology which can compensate for my inherent shortage of knowledge and to present diverse classroom structures.Then is "to blend".On the basis of clarifying various classroom structures and elements expressions,the researcher is totally indulged in the experience of teaching such as to go to the classroom in person,to observe the class and to view and emulate peer teachers,to collect classroom cases and then to analyze and proof them through Learning by doing as reflecting memoirs.And the last is "to sublimate".The purpose of this study is neither to find the rules,nor to master objective knowledge,but to find the fact,verify hypothesis and to improve teaching.Especially the study has found the fact of different classroom structures generating various teaching functions,and the nature,the form,the feature,the expression,the strengthens and weaknesses of a certain classroom structure.As illustrated in the paper,the study has provided the following results:First,classroom structure is the layout of all ingredients within it,and it is the framework understood and utilized by teachers and students in class.Second,from perspective of interdisciplinary study,researcher has explored four types of structure respectively,ie.Logical structure,Dissipative structure,Ecological structure and Complex structure which have their own nature,feature,structure diagram and ingredients expression.Based on the discussion about specific cases of various structures mentioned above,the analysis of structure diagram and ingredients expression,the study has reached the conclusion of Cons and Pros from different structures.In practice,based on Multiformity theory,the study offers a new angle and a new way of thinking to study,criticize,construct and create new classroom structure.Third,Logical structure is linear,closed and unidirectional which to the benefit of putting teacher’s subjectivity to good use,student’s commanding of systematic knowledge,quantitative evaluation of teaching while with shortcoming of stereotyped,flatten,unilateralized teaching and passive and extremely rational learning.Dissipative structure is open,nonlinear and dynamic which to the benefit of classroom reform,giving full scope to student initiative and make them learn autonomously and cooperatively while with the shortcoming of dual nature of"fluctuation" which pass off fish eyes as pearls in the information which leads to lack of purity in class culture.Complex structure is complex,multiplex and vertical crossing which in favor of interaction between subject and creation among individuals while ignore immaturity and fall into agnosticism which make child socialization hard.Ecological structure is harmony,tridimensional and holistic which helps to reduce student inhibitory level,encourage adventure,tolerate alloplasm and self-construct while doubt the necessity of classroom,intervention of child socialization and scientific of textbook.Ultimately,the study has provided Classroom Superstructure.If it can be said that Logical structure is scientific,Dissipative structure is open,Complex structure is chaotic,Ecological structure is natural,and then Superstructure is "post-structure" or"structurelessness" and the refined structure featuring real existence from nihility ie."Eluding sight,eluding touch,The forms of things all in it crouch;Eluding touch,eluding sight,There are their semblances."(Taoism)and the creative structure ie."Instruction has law,while the way is not fixed" proposed by Zhuxi.It includes all"the unspeakable" of classroom structures but beyond them.It is not a Logical structure,but contains rules and order from Logical structure;It is not Dissipative structure,but it has openness of Dissipative structure;It is not Complex structure,but admits complexity and self-organization from Complex structure;it is not Ecological structure,but possess wholeness and harmony of Ecological structure.It is the terminator of world’s stability,absolute,objectivity and step-by-step.It is the creative territory of purity and nature,of soul interaction and of vibrant life.It has the teaching value of revitalizing classroom,of optimizing structure,of improving quality and promoting life.
