What Makes a Good Classroom？
Diana Bashworth，writer at Trends in Education
As many schools work to improve their classrooms，it is important to have some ideas for making design decisions.SIN，which stands for Stimulation，Individualization，and Naturalness，is a framework that might be helpful to consider when designing classrooms.
The first，Stimulation，has two aspects： color and complexity.This has to do with the ceiling，floor，walls，and interior furnishings.For example，a classroom that lacks colors might be uninteresting.On the other hand，a classroom should not be too colorful.A bright color could be used on one wall，on the floor，window coverings，or furniture. In addition，it can be visually distracting to have too many things displayed on walls.It is suggested that 20 to 30 percent of wall space remain free.
The next item in the framework is Individualization，which includes two considerations： ownership and flexibility.Ownership refers to whether the classroom feels personalized.Examples of this include having chairs and desks that are suitable for student sizes and ages，and providing storage space and areas for displaying student works or projects.Flexibility is about having a classroom that allows for different kinds of activities.
Naturalness relates to the quality and quantity of light，both natural and artificial，and the temperature of the classroom.Too much natural light may make screens and boards difficult to see； students may have difficulty reading or writing if there is a lack of light.In addition，hot summer classrooms do not promote effective study.Schools should install systems allowing for the adjustment of both light and temperature.
While Naturalness is more familiar to us，and therefore often considered the priority，the other components are equally important.Hopefully，these ideas can guide your project to a successful end.
Results of the Questionnaire
Q1： Choose any items that match your use of the English club‛s room. （See the graph below.）
Q2： What do you think about the current English club‛s room？
Main comments：
Student1（S1）： I can’t see the projector screen and whiteboard well on a sunny day.Also，there’s no way to control the temperature.
S2： By the windows，the sunlight makes it hard to read.The other side of the room doesn’t get enough light.Also，the books are disorganized and the walls are covered with posters.It makes me feel uncomfortable.
S3： The chairs don’t really fit me and the desks are hard to move when we work in small groups.Also，lots of members speak Japanese，even though it’s an English club.
S4： The pictures of foreign countries on the walls make me want to speak English.Everyone likes the sofas ― they are so comfortable that we often use the room for sleeping！
S5： The room is so far away，so I hardly ever go there！ Aren’t there other rooms available？
S6： There’s so much gray in the room.I don’t like it.But it’s good that there are plenty of everyday English phrases on the walls！

この過去問の解説 （3件）
01
最も適切なのは、S4です。
ハンドアウトには、
「The majority of members （27） the room as （28）’s comment mentioned.」
とあります。
前の内容から、（27）は「部屋を寝るために使っている」という内容です。
S4は、
「Everyone likes the sofas ― they are so comfortable that we often use the room for sleeping！」
と話しています。
これは、「みんなソファが好きで、とても快適なので、私たちはよくその部屋を寝るために使っています」という意味です。
したがって、「多くの部員が部屋を寝るために使っている」という内容に直接触れているS4が最も適切です。
S1は、晴れた日にプロジェクターのスクリーンやホワイトボードが見にくいことと、室温を調節できないことについて話しています。
これは、光や温度についての問題です。
部屋を寝るために使っていることには触れていないため、（28）には入りません。
S2は、窓の近くでは日光が強すぎて読みにくいこと、反対側では光が足りないこと、さらに本やポスターが多くて落ち着かないことを指摘しています。
これは、照明や部屋の整理についての問題です。
部員が部屋で寝ているという内容ではないため、（28）には入りません。
S3は、椅子が自分に合っていないことや、少人数の活動をするときに机を動かしにくいことを話しています。
さらに、英語クラブなのに日本語を話す部員が多いことも指摘しています。
しかし、部屋を寝るために使っていることには触れていません。
そのため、（28）には入りません。
S4は、
「we often use the room for sleeping」
と話しています。
これは、「私たちはよくその部屋を寝るために使っています」という意味です。
ハンドアウトの「The majority of members ～ the room」という内容と直接つながっています。
したがって、（28）に入るのはS4です。
S5は、部屋が遠すぎるため、ほとんど行かないと話しています。
これは、部屋の場所についての不満です。
ハンドアウトでもS5の問題は別に取り上げられているため、（28）の内容ではありません。
S6は、部屋に灰色が多すぎることを嫌がっています。
一方で、壁に日常英語の表現がたくさんあることは良いと評価しています。
これは、部屋の色や壁の表示についての意見であり、寝るために使っているという内容ではありません。
そのため、（28）には入りません。
この問題では、ハンドアウトの内容と、各学生のコメントを対応させることがポイントです。
（27）の内容は、
多くの部員が部屋を寝るために使っている
というものです。
そのことを実際に述べているのは、
「we often use the room for sleeping」
＝「私たちはよくその部屋を寝るために使っています」
と話しているS4です。
したがって、（28）に入るのはS4です。
