Abstract The space and power of desk shape arrangement reveals the implied power mechanism of the classroom. The classroom has the characteristics of spatiality��built by the participation of multi-disciplinary. The objects placed in classroom and its significance of pedagogy, are the embodiment of the classroom’s spatiality. The classroom space’s power logic mainly displays in three aspects: platform’s ontological status; the relationship between desk and the platform; the administrative attribute of the desk. The specification of desk is the symbol of the order of teaching. Desks decides the way of physical activity and determines the activities’ style and scope of hands, feet and other parts of the body. Desk’ s function is alienated to force the body to study from supplementary. For a long time, the reciprocal relationship between desk and body is a mirror of the curriculum reform. The liberation of body is the direction and purpose of curriculum reform. Paying attention to student’s body of phenomenological sense experience is the trend of curriculum reform. The desk’s space restruction in teaching of the group cooperation, and the practice of deliberative knowledge provides a new perspective for the curriculum reform. In fact, space itself is a kind of education. Students perceive, experience and get knowledge in the space. The classroom space should not be cold. It should have the temperature in the phenomenological sense. Students can have a good experience in the space. The desk is the important object in the classroom and an essential tool for students in school. Different arrangement of the desk embodies different levels of the bondage of body. Different teaching organization form need the desk arrangement. The rectangular arrangement of desk and uniform arrangement of seedbed type are passed to students with a teaching order, to regulate the student's talks and behaviors. The new round of basic education curriculum reform advocates cooperative exploration and diligently using your hands to study. The release of the student's hands and feet is the breakthrough point to liberate student’s body. In fact, it implies a strong demand to the change of desk arrangement. To analyze desk’s discipline function and arrangement in the classroom teaching, we can vaguely insight the students' fate of knowledge and realistic situation of curriculum reform. |
