Research On Classroom Space From The Prospective Of Space Sociology

In the field of education,it is generally believed that space is not an unimportant place of existence,but a vital variable and analysis unit.As an entity and objective existence,classroom space interprets and highlights the relationship between space and education in a static way.Classroom space from the perspective of space sociology refers to the classroom education field based on the material environment and dispersing the spirit and social relations.It is a special space with the functions of promoting students’ development and enlightenment,discipline and control.Specifically speaking,as a non-verbal expression,classroom space can be divided into three levels of elements: constituent elements,symbolic elements and generative elements.The first level is the constituent elements of classroom space,which is basically composed of fixed and unchangeable material elements,mainly including walls,doors and windows,seats,platforms and so on.The second level is the symbolic elements of classroom space,such as class rules,mobile red flag,monitoring and so on.These elements are relatively easy to change compared with other material components of the classroom space,because the walls,doors,windows,seats,platforms and so on exist for students and teachers before they enter the classroom.Compared with the constituent elements,the symbolic elements can be actively constructed for the actors(teachers and students).In the process of construction,the actors first form a "sense of space" through the space symbols and the resulting space semantics,and actively express their subjective wishes for classroom space in action,although these subjective wishes are constrained by many constituent elements and symbolic elements.From classroom space generation and action to the third dimension of classroom content,classroom space management should be analyzed.As an essential factor,classroom space plays an important role in the field of education,and with the exploration of the social characteristics of space,the concept that space itself contains the existence of education has gradually been recognized by the academic community;on the other hand,the educational role of classroom space itself is often ignored in reality,and classroom space is often simply considered to have only physical properties and be buried in classroom space In the cognition of the material container and carrier of educational activities,the potential value of classroom spiritual space and its construction still need to be developed.The formation mechanism and educational function of classroom social space also need to be deeply described,and the educational nature of space can not be realized.In order to fully demonstrate the educational nature of classroom space,it is urgent to construct the justice of classroom space,that is,to realize space as a place of subjectivity,space as a spiritual sustenance,psychological dependence and space as a power relationship should be reasonable and moderate.
